A Moving Palace.

This is truly an age of wonders, and among thorn lire, talking by lightning, walking On air, riding on the wings of the wind, and transferring, as it were, a whole" orchestra over hundreds of miles of wire. These are no greater than the rapidity of travel on the railways, however, as the hurrying trains every day show. There are always new conveniences and improvements in the manner of travel which add greatly to the comfort of those who are journeying. One of the latest, though it has been in use some time, is the Pullman Hotel Cars, where one is always “at home,” and can eat, talk, or sleep, as he chooses. Go down to the Chicago & North-Western depot any evening, or any morning, and you will see the moving palace. The Pullman Hotel Cars were put on the Chicago & North-Western Railway about the first of July, last year, and they have proven to be an unquestioned and decided success. The cars are beauties, and a person can get aboard at Chicago in the morning and rido through to Council Bluffs without leaving tho car, and still bavo nil tho conveniences of any of the most elegant hotels. They are European piuii. “You pay only for what you get.’’ If you have never seen them, it wjll pay you to go down to the depot some evening and go through the train.— Cedar Hapids (la.) Daily Uepublican. March 19, 1878. Ju theeo Hotel Cars the meals are a la carte — you pay for what you got, and nothing more; and this at very reasonable rates. The managers of the Company Inive determined to omit nothing which will add to the convenience, safety and comfort of the traveling public who favor them with their patronage; and further, that they will not be eclipsed in this direction by any other railroad iu the world. Hence these cars, constructed by the Pullman palace Car Company especially for the Pioneer Line,are the finest ever built.

It is not exaggeration to say no road in theproduce the equal,, to .these magnificent cilfir; and as the average traveler wants the best of everything that can be bad, he must of necessity use this line in his trans-continental trip. The charges for berths in these Hotel Cars are the same (and no higher) as are made in the more common Sleeping Car. so that the traveler using one <-f these partial hotels is given much more worth for his money than tic can get on any other line. Remember I Pullman Hotel Cars are now running regularly between Chicago and Council Bluffs, on the Denver and California Express Trains of the Chicago & NorthWestern Railway. West-bound, they leave Chicago daily, except Sunday, (and on every third Sunday), from the Wells Street Depot, at 10.30 a. m., and arrive at Council Bluffs next morning. East-bound, they leave Council Bluffs nt 6.30 v. m., daily, except Saturday, (and on every third Saturday,) and reach Chicago the next afternoon. Bear in mind 1 No other road runs Pullman Hotel Cars, Pullman Dining Cars, or any other form of Hotel. Dining, or Restaurant Care through between Chicago andtbq MDsoitgi River. On no other road man you get all the meals you require between Chicago and Omaha without leaving the car you start in. This is the only line that uno tnuTityn vuib vi huy ourt, i
