Men In Those Regions Do Not Mind

the present owner. In another ten years the letters, I do not

will probably be full. The new Constitution is no doubt already at
work, and, if found deficient, another will succeed to it without
any trouble to the State or any talk on the subject through the

From Chicago we went on to Cleveland, a town in the State of Ohio,
on Lake Erie, again traveling by the sleeping-cars. I found that
these cars were universally mentioned with great horror and disgust
by Americans of the upper class. They always declared that they
would not travel in them on any account. Noise and dirt were the
two objections. They are very noisy, but to us belonged the happy
power of sleeping down noise. I invariably slept all through the
night, and knew nothing about the noise. They are also very dirty -
extremely dirty - dirty so as to cause much annoyance.
