Dodgeville chronicle. [volume] (Dodgeville, Wis.) 1862-current, 1867-10-18

To those who love the beautiful, and
appreciate whatis really artistic, the new
Palace Cars, recently built for the use of
the Michigan Southern Railroad, will
prove peculiarly attractive. We allude to
those two splendid passenger cars de-
signed to run between Cleveland and Chi
cago, and called respectively "The Forest
City" and 1.-THE Garden City" The for
mer of these being on exhibition at AL
bany, on Thursday, Sept. 10, we availed
ourselves of an opportunity to examine
the Chariot Palace. CHANGING at the ex-
terror, we remark on each side five plate
glass windows, each single pane nearly
four feet square, and sixteen smaller ones,
arranged beneath as so many ventllators.
Entering, we find the interior arrange
ment very ingenious. From the door at
each end OF the car runs an aisle termina-
ting in grand, central saloon, ten feet
| square, carpeted with an exquisite Axmin-
ster rug, and furnished with consummate
| elegance and taste. The prevailing color
is blue; the woodwork rosewood, with
costly inlayings. Two settees with four
easy chairs Of curious design, four mir.
rors, inlaid ,paper-racks, semi circular
marble brackets, surmounted by miniature
etageres, and rich center table, complete
the furniture of the room. We notice,
also, bronze medallions, monograms
| wrought in various woods, and an inlaid
ceiling of white hollywood, gilded chande-
| lier, silver water-pitcher &c, &c. On one
side of this central saloon is room cush-
toned in silver leather, and in cores
poniing position opposite, another in
green. but similar in arrangement. Each
apartment has two settees and two easy
chairs, with center table. In the silver
room the woodwork is ofrosewood,, black
walnut, curled maple, and satin wood; in
the green room, birdseye maple, walnut,
and rosewood. Beyond these apartments
stand on one end of the car the golden
room, and on the other the purple room.
Each has settees go adjusted that by de-
taching the ends, a party may surround
table, which, made with elaborate inlaid
| work, may be rolled into the center OF the
room and unfolded. Here are mirrors set
| in bronze frames, bronze racks for light
baggage, and every convenienc winch can
promote travellers comfort and ease.
Both these superb cars are nothing less
than palaces on wheels, and in every way
are deserving the high distinction of
bringing near together the metropolis OF
the West and the most beautiful city OF
the Union. ---Nsso York Tribune.
