A Railway Presidents Private Car.

The following is . description of the
new private car just completed at A.
toona, Pa, for President McKeen. OF the
Vandalia:
The interior is finished with ash, var
nished and rubbed down until the glitter
of the varnish is lost in the plain color
of the hard wood. This finish gives the
walls and roof and furniture everything
in ASIA very tidy appearance. Moth
ing could look cleaner. The parlor. in
tn rear end, contains six arm-chairs. q
SCI .etary and an extension table. The
next room, q sleeping and dining-room,
contains eight berths. The lower seats
run lengthWise, making sitting accom-
modati0ns for each side of the table.
Going forward, next in order, and very
conveniently punched, are the heater, q
closet, wash-stand and linen closet. Over
these, supported by the various parti-
tons round and about them. is . sixty
gallon roof tank for water. The tank is
out of sight. Its existence would not be
surmised, except by inquiry as to where
the water came from. Next, on the
right, is private bedroom, with wash
stand and closet, and bed across the
car. From the bed and from the parl0r,
by means of q cord, the occupant Of the

cusable delay of the public business,

is no danger to the party from an execu-
tive session now, there certainly was
none two months ago, and all the talk
about Democratic treason and revolution
was false pretense and has been so adj
mitted. The character of obstructionists,
sought to be put upon the Democrats
has been transferred to the Republicans,
