!, memphis and the Ohio river is the Men
phis and Louisville railway, over whic
: daily trains run with regularity, spec
and safety. 1t is the great highway t
all points North and East, At Louisvill
this road connects with the Short Lin
road to Cincinnati and the mail steamer
on the Ohio for the same point. Tray
elers arriving at Louisville can selec
either route, rail or river. The Mem
\ phis and Louisville Railway Compan,
transports freight and passengers t.
Louisville without change of cars. Al
immense business is done over this road
The line of route is pleasant in the ex
treme, passing through the finest por
tions of Tennessee and Kentucky. The
officers on the. road are business men
affable and polite-having in view the
safety and comfort of their passengers.
During the summer season tourists and
pleasure-seekers on their way northward
can find no better or more pleasant
route, over which they will be transported
with speed and comfort to the banks of
the Ohio. Splendid palace sleeping cars
accompany each train over the road
These cars are constructed on the most
approved plan, and are furnished with
all the modern improvements. 1t is
needless to recommend this route to the
travelling or business public, who are so
familiar with its management and gene
raj attractions.
LOUISVILLE TO CINCfNNATI.
There are not in the United States
competing routes Of travel which attract
the public with forces so nearly equal
lied as the river and railroad lines from
Louisville to Cincinnati The steamers
are magnificent, the berths fresh, the
state-rooms airy and delightful; and
there is perfect repose after rattling
over hills and valleys in laundering rail-
way trains. On the Short Line railway
from Louisville to Cincinnati the cars
are superb, the seats elastic, the coun-
try through which the traveller is borne
most charming, and the speed that of
the whirlwind. One hardly realizes
the fact that he has left louisville till
he finds himself in an omnibus rattling
over the stony streets of Cincinnati.
Every comfort and convenience for the
traveller is provided, and when he re-
turns TO Cincinnati, on his way South,
he is ever at loss to determine whether
he will rest in luxuriously furnished
state-room, on a magnificent steamer
moving at railway speed, or take the
railway train that bears him so smoothly
and with such marvellous rapidity to the
commercial capital of Kentucky. We
have tried both routes, and advise every
man and one wife, deemed one person |
in the eyes of the law, to separate and
take both routes from Louisville. There
is no other way of settling the question
of preference.
CINCINNATI EASTWARD.
The professional traveller, of all others,
is the best and most appreciative judge
Of comfort on the rail No amount of
special pleading by gentlemanly agents
can influence him. He is never de-
,eived by flaming advertisements of
shortest and quickest" or mo change
of cars'-he is posted He knows by
the unerrihg teacher of us
III, which route is the shortest, and
which offers the best accommodations,
which makes the quickest time, and
which runs with the most certainty and
he least danger. Your professional
raveer, therefore, is the competent
udge as to the claims of rival railroad
ines, and the one whose advice should
,e followed. Now, it is a fact well
,nown in railroad circles, that the Pan
Handle route between New York and
Sincinnati is the favorite one with this
lass of the community. They have
Ound by experience that this route com
ines all that is desirable to render a
between the two cities pleasant, Q
omfortable and safe, and hence give it
he decided preference. i
The points of superiority in favor of b
bis road are several in number and well b
efned 1t is the shortest in the nu- a
lerical number of miles traversed, and Ii
runs through a richer and more pop
lous section of country. Beyond Pitts a
urg it crosses the Allegheny Noun a
Inns, affording the traveller a splendid "
nd prolonged view of that unsurpassed S,
.merican scenery, the grandest and t,
lost impressive on the continent. The Il
INNING time is shorter by several hours a
ian by other lines, which is greatly to it
e desired inamost cases. The track is u
ne of the best in the world, double most o.
the way, smooth, and well ballasted Il

The cars are models Of the American N
Iilway carriage. They combine all the

beauty. The most important of these 81
lprovements is the Westinghouse Air II
rake, controlled by the engineer, who 81
the'first warning of danger can apply by
to every wheel in his train, stopping it!
e same in less than half the time occu- al
ed with the old style brake. This le
