THE ROMANCE OF THE RAIL.

Another Grand Improvement Added to the Fiorieer lias. For some time past it has been generally uhderattfocT that a line of magnificent PuHm»n Hotel cars was Soon to be placed an the Chicago on(l Burth-ffatht road, so MW between Council Bluffs and Chicago; atwf we are pleased to announce that all the ah-, fsngemeots have been perfected, and that' the oafs lfave already been placed on the road. The managers of the company have 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 others railroad in the world. Hence these cars. :constructed by the Fullnaan Palace Car : Company especially for the Pioneer Mae, are the tinest ever built. These Hotel cars leave Council Bluffs on' the Atlantic Express, and run through to 'Chicago each’day in the afternoon. On the €nst-bound train.' dinner, supper and breakfast will be sorrod. I#? *erfi-bound Hotel cars leave cSjhgo os tiieCaliftnittEiffte each day iff the forenoon. On this train, supper, brtakfcstjtq&dinper will be served. Thus passengers' bound in ..either direction are enabled to bttve qJUboir meals tnro*U*u and yet not leave’ ihiif palatial traveling parlor. . ... The only objection that ever been raised against the use tff Hotel cars, has been connected with the odors of ibekitchen. At we laid before, thin, in thete fart, hat. been entirely obviated ; no perton, rib matter. how particular he or she may be, will have caute to make any objeeliont~vn thit tatre. In the Dining car you merely get your meals, and as soon as you are through eating you are shoved out, and started for the coaches or sleeper, so as to make room for other travelers who desire your place. While in these Hotel oars yeur berth is secured through, and you own it absolutely for the length of your trip, end it is your own for lounging, sitting, sleeping aad eating purposes, as much as your own seat in your own house. As it is not generally, known, Dining ears arc never nth over thy entire length of any route; they are taken on and eet off (lie train at elated times; while these Hotel cart are made part of the train, and run through in the mijw way at the regular deeping car. ThdTltfftW, Western Company have their road nearly ail laid with steel rail, and the bed ballasted in the best possible manner; hence these elegant palaces, with their sixteen will ride as easy and with as little noise ams oscillation as can be expected iu railway travel. In these and other improvements the people of Council Bluff* feel Interested, and will join with the towns along the line in Congratulating the progressive and Hbsral management of this great corporation. —The (Council Blufft) Nonpareil.
