Show JUST A LITTLE RIDICULOUS. Heraldry Visible on Carriage Door, Not Paper, eto,, at Washington. Washington, March 18. Considering Consider-ing tho fact that this is a republic aud Washington the capital, there is an extraordinary ex-traordinary and ridiculous amount of heraldry visible on carriage doors, note paper, seal rings and family plate in this town. If all the people who sport the insignia of patrician aristocracy aristo-cracy wero eutitled t o indulge in the innocent and absurd affectation of superiority, su-periority, it would not be so laughable in the eyes of sensible home folks and resident foreigners, but when it is considered con-sidered that some of the biggest and loudest heraldric designs are sported by the newest people, creatures of yesterday, yester-day, the friends of republican simplicity may well laugh in their sleeves. |
