To travel by Railroads is a pnblic confort and convenience. Such is the go-aheadativeness and rush of our people. that rapid and uninterrupted transit has become a necessity—a part of the habits of our people. Safetv'and security of life and limb, from destruction and injury is desirable, even those, who on the tented field could face the cannons mouth, would unwillingly risk the hurting of a single hair, unnecessarily. On a Railroad all wish to feel, when they trust themselves, their wives or children on a train, that they are not treading on an instrument of torture and death.
