Interesting Pacta About Their Wear. ins;, Color, and Deelan?View? of Rufttiin and Owen Jot.es-.An I'nlqne Dtaplar at Temple, Pemberton, Corde? A Co.*?. John Rusktn, the eminent art critic, who ha? for many year? been considered a criterion in all matter? of test?, has promulgated a dogma that taste Is not only a part and an Index of morality It is tho only morality. The liking for outside ornaments, for picures, for statues, or furniture, he holds, is a moral quality so long as the taste lies in the direction of the best. All delight in art and all love of It resolve themselves into simple love of that which deserves love. That deserving is the quality which we call "loveliness," and it Is not an indifferent nor optional thing whether we love this or that; but it is Just the vital function of all our being. What we like determines what we are, and is a sign of what we are. ART IN CARPETS. In a privately printed lecture of Mr. Owen Jones on "The True and the False in Decorative Arts," that well-known authority devotes a good deal of space to the use of carpets In houses, and praises unstintedly those which come to us from the East. As to carpet design, he saya: "?'arpets should be darker In tone and more broken in hue than any portion of a room, both because they present the largest mass of color, and because they serve as a background to the furniture placed upon them. "As a general rule, lighter carpets may be used in rooms thinly furnished than the contrary, as we should otherwise have too overpowering a mass of shade. Ori?-.? tal rut's are, by universal consent, adopt ed. The principal design in a Turkey carpet is perfect, and our manufacturara would do well, Instead of copying them In Axminst.-r, as is their wont, to apply the principles to be learned from them in producing carpets more in harmony with their requirements.-' ART OF THP: ORIENT UNSURPASSED. The fact that the demand for Oriental warts and fabrics has grown to such a large extent Is In nowise remarkable, for despite the boasted progress of the nineteenth century, it is generally con ceded that in the production of useful and ornamental articles the Oriental, upon whose shoulders the mantle of the ancient F.gyptian haa fallen, has B I been surpassed. It n.-e.ls no seer to prophesy that the carpets of Persia and of Turkey will this y?ar take a more prominent place In house decoration than ever before. Mi .?..-is. Ti inple, Pemberton, Cordes & Co.. the well-known dry-goods firm, which Is always In th?- van of every progressive movement, have recognized the coming vogue, and have made extra ordlnsiy preparations to meet it, and to supply the demand with the choicest fabiios. Ti.? ir sto?-k, which has been col lected by their agents from the principal entres in Persia and? Turkey, has never been equalled in the South. CARPET WEAVING IX THK ORIENT. It may not be generally known that carpets, as manufactured in the present day, range themselves under two classes, the first and ancient class being such as are made by knotting into the warp tuft after tuft, the materials of the pattern, and the second consisting of those in which the pattern Is woven up In the lu.?m. To th- lirst class W-iong Oriental - is gonatnShf, as swell as such an are woven at many places throughout Eu rope under the name of Turkish carpels. Persia is now, as It has been from the most remote times, the recognixed source of what is most truly artistic, durable, and valuable In this manufacture; and after the products of that country, those of various parts of Turkey and India are BMMst esteemed. The carpet weaving of Persia Is similar In its procesa to the tapestry manufac tura of QobSttaS, Beauvais, or Aubusson. In both methcxis the principle Is the ame. Both are formed In looms of very simple construction, the warp threads are arranged in parallel order, whether upright or horizontal, and the fabric and pattern ur?- produced by colored thread, hand Brought apon ths warp. In Persia there are entire families whose only occupation Is that of carpet Beating. These dispose of their produc tions at the bazaars to native merchants, who remove them to Smyrna or Constan tinople, where they meet with American and European purchasers. The finest carpets, both as to design and texture, come from K-iiuan, I'eraghan, and Kurdistan. The Kerman products re semble In appearance the finest velvet pile carpets, but with the nap cut much shorter. The carpets of Feraghan are in external appearance somewhat like Brus sels carpets, while those of KurdUtan have their pattern on both 6ldes and are woven nuite smooth. The greater part of the real Turkey carpets imported Into America, choice Bsmplas of which are kept In stock by Masam Temple, Pemberton. Cordes A Co., In this city, are manufactured in the pro vince of Aiden, about six days' journey from Smyrna, and rugs are prin?ipiHy made at Kulah. In the same province. PECULIARITIES OF THE DESIGNS. These carpets are the work of families and liouf-ehohls. They are woven In one . and there i? this notable pecu liarity in their manufacture, that the same pattern la BSVSC again exactly repro duced?no two carpets ate Quite aiike. The patterns are very remarkable, being rude and Sim] U I I 0taiga, and coming down from a very remote period. The colors are rich and ha. inoinous, red or greefl being the usual ground colors, with blues, yellow, and bU? k, but larely i? while p.imuted 10 appear. The de sign Is usually made- up of a largo central, m ore or less diamonded, pattern, with smaller diamonds filling up the corners and sides, the whole surrounded with a border ot lines of the different colors. Th? peculiarities of the patterns have b??_n accounted for on the theory that the Turkey carpet repre-ients Inlaid Jewelled work, which accords with the oriental delight In Jewels and works in precious stones. Carpet? and rugs were originally em ployed by Oriental nations for sitting, re clining, or devoticnally kneeling upon, and it was chiefly by th? nature of the design that any line was, in mediaeval times, drawn between tbe three classes. A very clear Idea of the differences in the de signs can be gained by an inspection of the sumptuous carpets now being dis pi iv.d by Messrs. Temple, Pemberton, Cordes & Co. HOW WE IMITATE THEM. There is considerable variety In th? designa of domestic carpet? made In lnu :?t:?.n of those of Pereia, Turkey, and India, and it is allowed that they exhibit tlon of harmonious coloring. The prevailing color. In eome of the choicest samples displayed, Is a full deep led, broken with base?, etc.. of an orange hue, and interspersed with soft-toned blues, purples, and greens. Th? Jute, the Hart ford, the Selkirk, and the Bundhar Wil ton are among the most handsome. In Oriental Carpet? the firm has Bok hara?, Anotollans, ?hlrivan?, Royal Ker man, the moat costly of all. Sheraa und Bajoa. The Idea that all ?uch Imported goods must be costly 1? entirely error.e oue. In the Eaat the price la generally determined by tb? weight, and the weaver? get little e..^ugh for their work. Thua It is that In the w??Kern market? the?? good? can now be Bold at flguree which seem to be abeurdly low, consider ing the excellence of the fabric, the hater eat which attach?e to It. and faultless taate which it displays. j t l?N THE SODTHSIDE.

But llttl? attention Is given to'po?Ul;a In this county at present. Indeed, su.:h apathy on the part of both Democrats i and Republicans was BOTST witnessed In I Prince E?iw-?rd before.
