A New sleeping Car.

Yesterday afternoon there arrived at
Camden Station, from Philadelphia, beau
tiful new combined palace sleeping and par
lor car, invented and patented by Mr.. Jonah
Woodruff, Of that city. The improvements
which this car possess were first patented
in 1871, and now in use on many OF the
principal Western railroads. The car
which arrived here yesterday is named the
cleopatra" This is the first car Of the
kind that has ever visited Baltimore. A
great many persons inspected it yesterday,
and it will also be open for inspection until
tomorrow afternoon, when it will probably
be removed to Washington. The exterior
appearance of this car is very beautiful.
It is painted a deep maroon color,
picked out in gold arabesque. On
each end of the car is vestibnle,
constructed as rotunda, and arranged SC
that when the doors are closed two beauti.
full private apartment are formed, In which
there are seats, tables, understands
water coolers and water-closets. The front
one Of these vestibules is set apart for the
use of ladies' and children, while in the
one at the rear the gentlemen passengers
can smoke, play-cards, or otherwise amuse
themselves, and at the same time be Sc
cluded from the view of the other passen
gers. The ceiling of these rotundas art
composed of papiermache, beautifully fres
coed. The car is heated by steam pipes
that are attached to each seat instead .
the side of the coach, as in many others Q
a different pattern. On entering the mali
saloon Of the car beholder is struck b,
the fact that it in no way resembles tn
ordinary sleeping car until the beds are ar
ranged. The upholstery in this car
most magnificent. The window curtain
and hangings are truly gorgerous
and, together with the large French plat
glass windows, luxurious crimson velve
covered seats and fancy globe lamps, max
the car seem like a drawing-room. !
1 fifteen minutes this scene can be changee
and by an ingenius mechanical contrivane
each. Of the seats becomesa, bed, while
second one is drawn out of the pannellin
in the side of the car, and forms til
second or upper "bunk.n The ease an
rapidity with which the car can be tran
formed into sleeping apartment is astol
ishing. The beds and bedding are stored
and beneath the seats-this alone is sa
by railroad men to be great advantage, ,
in the old-fashioned sleeping car all Il
sleeping appurtenances were encased in Il
side of the car and near the roof, thus re-
, dering the car top heavy and more lab
. to topple over than when the weight
! nearer the centre Of gravity. By arran
> ing the beds and bedding in this way t.
: weight Of about 1000 pounds is saved, al
{ the car made that much lighter.--Bal

The progress of civilization in the
islands Of the sea is shown by the fact that
the Fjians have taken to the ballot-box, and
are holding public meetings, at one Of which
it was recently decided that all the native
Fijians should be allowed the right Of suf-
frage, and all foreigners, after they have
been domiciled in the country six months,
This is certainly remarkable in a country
where. but short time ago, the principal
use Of foreigners was for broils and stews.

Child IS said to be honest and simple be-

met temptation and looks at it in the
face; when he sees mistakes gathering
around him and arms himself for fresh

over himself and has made himself honest.
