Comfortable Travelling.

"The conveniences of modern travel
who shall estimate them,'' is a PROPOSE
ton that can be better answered after
Il ride over the Pan Handle and Pennsyl-
vania Central Railroads, than by travel
ing On any other route in any other di-
r~ection. The wonderful changes and
improvements that have of late years
been going OF in the multiplication OF
travelling conveniences inland have their
best illustration on this route.
The professional traveller, of all others,
is the best and most appreciative judges OF
comfort on the rail. No amount of spe-
cial pleading by gentlGmanly agents can
influence him. He is never deceived by
flaming advertisements of Shortest
and quickest, - or mo change of cars
he is ''posted." He knows by expert
ence, the unerring teacher of us all,
which route is the shortest, and which
offers the best accommodations, which
makes the quickest time, and which runs
with the most certainty and the least
danger. Your professional traveller,
therefore, is the competent judge as to

one whose advice should be followed.
Now, it is a fact well known in railroad
circles, that the Panhandle route be-
tween Philadelphia and Cincinnati is the
favorite one with this class of the COM
munity. They have found by expert
ence that this route combines all that is
desirable to render a passage between
the two cities pleasant, comfortable, and
safe, and hence give it the decided pref
ence.
The points of superiority in favor of
this road are several in number, and well
defined. 1t is the shortest in the nu-
merical number of miles traversed, and
it runs through a richer, and more pOpu-
lous section of country. Beyond Pitts
burg, it crosses the Allegheny Mount
aims, atfOrding the traveller a splendid
and prolonged view of that unsurpassed
American scenery, the grandest and most
impressive on the continent The run
ming time is shorter by several hours
than by other lines, which is greatly to
be desired in most cases. The track is
one of the best in the world, double
most of the way, smooth, and well bal
lasted with StOnp, which renders it al
most altogether free from dust, and is
kept in the best possible condition all the
the time.
The cars are models of the American
railway carriage. L ey combine all the
latest and most valuabl improvements
that can d to their strength, comfort,
or beauty. The most important of these
improvements is the Westinghouse Air
