Luxury on the Rail.

We have been frequently asked ''What
is the difference between railroad dining
ear and a Pullman Hotel car % That there
is a vast difference is well known by those
who have had occasion to use either 4; but
the untraveled public are not fully advised as
to the points of difference The old fashioned
railroad eating house is, alas ! too well
known It's peculiar, hastily eaten meal have
been partaken OF by teo many thousands to
be forgotten. The dining car, then, is this
well-known eating house placed on wheels,
attached tie the train at the usual meal hours.
and hauled along for thirty, forty or sixty
miles, until the meal has been served, when
it is set off on sde-track, and is by the next
train hauled to It's starting point and so it
runs few miles for each meal To get
meals in this'car the passenger has to work
his way through the train while it is under
full mOtion-pass from car to car, running
the risk Of falling between the platforms. and
finally finding the Car at the rear of the train
Then comes the meal, which must be hurried
through with to give chance for other hungry
passengers to take your place, and YOU must
force your way back to your seat and again
run the risk of your platform passage while
the train is at full speed. In such cars YOU
pay seventy-fve cents for each meal, even if
you take or need only cup of coffee and a
cracker. Bear in mind, in no case do these
cars accompany che train from starting point
to destination. They are always "cut off +"
and taken on MS we have described With
the Pullman Hotel car the case is different
in every respect. These cars are sixty to
sixty-six feet long, have sixteen wheels under
each, are built strong SO as to insure steady,
quiet running, without the usual unpleasant
side motion. Each Hotel car contains, in
the order named, the following compart-
ments
1st. cosy, neat and clean little kitchen.
fitted up with range, an ice and meat box,
rows OF shelves covered with bright silver
and brighter glass ware, and all the appli-
ances needed IN preparing a sumptuous
meal.
2nd. 4 compact china and glass closet. in
which Is hept the table ware and table linen,
cutlery, etc.,
3rd. a passage way, cutting off the kitch-
en- and China closet from the rest of the car,
and forming an air-chamber to prevent the
smell of the cooking vctuals from reaching
the saloon part of the car.
4th. The grand saloon This is fitted up
with twelve, fourteen, or sixteen sections,
with space for tables between each, and IN
these the meals are served. You, while on
this ear own the space you occupy as much
as you do your room at home, and no one
can hurry you while at meals, nor arc you
forced to give it up to allow any other per-
son to occupy it. At night, as if by agic,
this saloon is changed into boudoir, and
here your couch is prepared, and mere you
rest yourself isoloted, and as separated from
your fellow-travelers as you would be in your
own bed chamber
9th. An elegant drawing-room, with room
for six or eight persons. This is found

II will thus be seen that this car is, as its
name implies, a perfect modern hotel, with
all of its appliances and comforts complete
This car is taken on at the commencement
Of the journey, and is part of the train to its
destination. In it you get your sleeping COM
partments Accommodations, while neither en-
roach upon the other Envious dining car
employees, who are paid to decry this form
Of Hotel car, cannot with anything like
truth on their side, give any valid or con
elusive reasons fer preferrlng the dining to
the Hotel ear, and they only chatter IN favor
of their dining car because they are paid to
do so. These Hotel ears have run from
New York to San Francisco and back with
the Emperor Don Pedro-with Jarrett &
Palmer's party, that Travelled at almost
lightning speed-with many party OF
California bonanza kings; and all join in
pledging their honor that the cars are in
comparable
Two lines of these celebrated cars run be-
tween New York and chicago, and one line
only between Chicago and Omaha. 1t may
be needless to say that this lastnamed line
runs over the steel track of the Chicago
North Western Railway. That these ears
are attracting a large share of the California
travel, both ways, might easily be conjec
tured. Any road deserves to be patIonzed
that is interprising enough to give the
travelling public such facilities as are freely
rendered by the Chicago & North Western
Railway on its California line.
We have neglected to say that, in these
Hotel cars, the meals are a Ia carte you
pay for what you get, and nothing more and
this at very reasonable retes.-Ihe Tribune

How to Improve.

Every one wants to see bet
ter times and is squealing because
some one else does not make them
better, unmindful of the fact that
all are interested in the work, and
no one should wait for the other to
strike out first. We must all help
and encourage each other, not lie
croUebed down seeking whom we
may devour-and thereby cause all
the harder times by the scares aris-
ing therefrom. Remember that men
make hard times, but hard times do
not make men. The longer we con
tinue entertaining thoughts about
suing and breaking down men, de-
pend upon it, just 50 long we may
expect the times to remain hard, and
affairs TO remain as they now exist
without confidence. If you want
to see better times, begin to i'm
prove them yourself. Don't wait
for some one else to start first; roll
up your sleeves and strike the
monster, panic, on the head, first.
Your neighbor won't be behind il
he sees you striving; his nelghbor
will not be- outriyaled +; the next
neighbor Will come forth and the
next still won't be behind so all
along the line will the revival extend
until there is a complete revolution
all around. Begin as though you
were beginning over again after a
disastrous failure, with all the de-
termination Of "fresh man." and
then you will soon see the result,
and be happy.

BAYFIELD, as A SUMMER RESORT.

| BAYFIELD, as A SUMMER RESORT.
The claims of Bayfield, as de-
lighttul resort for pleasure seekers
are well and justly established. No
place on the shores of the broad
lakes offers the inducements for
health and pleasure that are found
at Bayfield,. A cosy little city
snugly nestled away under the beau
tifully sIoping green hills, with"~..its
white and stylish cottages, artistic
ally arranged flower yards and
beautiful fountains of pure water,
spouting up several feet high in the
clear atmosphere. Charmingly and
invitingly reclines beautiful Bay
field against her verdant cushion,
with the crystal waters Of the grand
old Iage kissing her pebbly beach.
The majestic forest decorated with
| its tinted foliage, the picturesque
group of Apostle Islands in the har-
bor-hke roses in garden, make
the scenery peculiarly captivating.
The ancient mission Of La Point, on
Madeline, with missionary history
running back to a time but little
over a century from the discovery
of America by Columbus, the
antique old Catholic chapel with its
rare relics and magnificent oil paint
ings ; the old Indian bUrying-ground
with its graves made over one hun
dred years before the American
revolution-&re all Of interest, and
well worth a trip Of thousands OF
miles TO see.
The fishing and hunting are not
excelled in any locality. Speckled
trout abound in the streams in close
/ proximity to Bayfield,, ahording
both lady and gentleman tourists the
most exciting sport. Wild deer are
sound in large numbers in the inn
mediate vicinity. The crack of the
sportsmaD's rife and the triumphant
shout Of the hunter as he comes
upon his painting deer, or the joyous
peal Of laughter of the fair angler as
she lands speckIed beauty in her
birch bark canoe-are sounds that
are waited along with the cool sum-
mer breeze and may be heard any
day during the excursion season.
Bayfield, is easily reached by
steamers from Duluth, Detroit,
Chicago or BUEa'o. Ashland is the
nearest point reached byraiL Ferry
boats ply constantly between the
two cities, which are only IS miles
apart.
If you want to see the Indian IN
hisnaiye costume go to bayfield,, and
from there it is but a few miles die-
tant to the Odanah mission, or Red
/ Cliff reservation. Where yon can
behold him in all his native grand
eur.
Bayfield, is blessed with good ho-
tel accommodations. William
Knight, Esq, has leased the hotel,
and hereafter will keep the house
open to entertain all who may visit
bayfield,. Mr.. Knight brings to the
hotel the experience and culture
gained by extensive travel, and
knows exactly the requirements Of
q first class hotel, and cannot fail to
make the house one Of the pleasant
est resorts on Lake Superior. The
hotel is newly furnished throuhgout
and no pains or expense spared to
make it complete in all details.

CLIMATE OF KANsAS.-The State
lies between the 37and 40 parallels of
north latitude, while the thirty
seven counties in which the Kansas
Paciic Railway company own land,
lie principally between the SO and
39th parallels, which parallels in
the United States, include Central
Missouri, southern Illinois, South
ern Indiana a large part Of Ken
tucky, West Virginia, Southern
nnsylvania aud Maryland, on the
East, with Colorado, Nevada and
Central California on the West,
while in Europe it embraces the
vine-covered hills of Portugal and
Spain, the blue waters OF the Med
iterranean Sea, and the sunny cline
Of Southern Italy. Thus, its po-
sition not being sufficiently near the
equator to render it enervating or
debilitating, noI far enough north to
expose it to the severity and rigors
of a northern cline, with an alti-
tude steadily and slowly increas-
ing from the Mississippi River
towards the Rocky Mountains,
whereby pure and heaIthful breezes
are waited across its plains; even
III the sultriest summer weather the
cool night winds come to refresh
and invigorate, after the tolls of
the day are over, while during the
severest winters bright alterations
of sunny days will often intervene,
to remind us Of the not far distant
spring.

A person is not as suzceptable to

important consideration in stock

of grasses depend largely on the al

mosphere, they retain their nutriti-
Gus qualities; in an atmosphere
charged with moisture, they are
overtaken by autumal frosts, and
killed. They thus decay in place of
