PULLMAN.
The Man Who RHns tho PerambuIRtinE
Lodging H0uAes.

The man Who Rams the PerambulntinE
Lodging HouAes.
rCbicago Letter to New York Express.l
The history of Mr.. Pullman is that Of
a busy man-sagaciOus, ambitious and
useful. He is now about forty-seveu
years Of age, in perfect health, sym
pathetic in his habits, and good for
twenty years, at least, Of work He has
home in Chicago that cost nearly
S400, 900, where he lives mostly while in
America. He has elegant summer places
on the st. Lawrence and at Long Branch,
at which one of his four brothers, two of
whom are preachers, or some of his i'm
mediate family or friends may be found
during the summer. He spends much
Of his time in Europe. The secret of
bis being able to accomplish so much
business is his marvellous power of dis
elimination in selecting his lieutenants.
He simply has to order, and the work is
done. Mr.. Pullman got his start in
mining in Colorado. He made some
money there, and Mr.. H. /. Kimball
was, believe, associated with him. 1t
Is said that he was worth less than
500, 900 when he began with the Sleep
ing cars. He bought ont the patents of
Wagner and Woodruff and organized
the Palace Car Company on a small
scale. The same company now has over
200 palace, hotel and sleeping cars
running in this country. These cars
cost more than $4,000, 600. The Pull
man Southern Company, of which he is
President, has about eighty-fve cars
running, and is building new ones as
rapidly as possible. This company is
managed by Major Thomas Hayes. of
Louisville, and he has handled it, as he
does every thing else, successfully. 1
hear that it had nearly 800, 600 debt
five wears ago, when he took it. 1t has
about paid this debt in five years and
added $500, 600 worth Of cars-a pretty
good record. Pullman cars have been
put ON the roads in England, but none
are yet running on the continent In
England they are very successful. In
this country the railroad company paw
Mr. Pullman three cents n mile for
every mile the car is pulled over the
road. 1t furnishes lights and gas. The
Pullmans maintain the car and equipe
it. Some of the roads have abolished
the Pullman cars and put on 4 line az
sleepers of their own. This custom is
not growing, however, some of the roads
having abolished their own sleepers and
recontracted with the Pullmans. The
hotel cars do not pay on any line, but
are kept on as a convenience and in the
hope that they will finally. The chief
enterprise with which Mr.. Pullman has
been connected since he organized the
system of cars that bears his name was
the elevated railway system of New York.
The cars were and are made at his
works. His next enterprise was the CITY
OF Pullman. This is now occupying his
time, and will keep him busy for wear
or two. He will, doubtless, enlarge il
even beyond its present scheme, and add
new industries to the vast ones already
collected there, and thus, may be, the
need for more workmen and more hands.

Now about this wedding. The receiving

But his name isn't Mike" said the
young lady. "His name is"

equine journalist. "Of course his name

are married, you want to jog along home
and plant yourselves at the back end Of
the parlor. Better have floral bell or
something like that to stand under be-
cause it is considered the best thing, and
makes a better toot ensemble as the
French say. Then the guests they get

"And the supper" said the young
lady.
"Oh, yes, the supper. Well, at some
weddings they feed in the dining-room,
and at others each guest sits on q chair
and has his lunch brought to him. Now,
always advise the use Of chopped feed
at weddings-brin on the ham sand
wiches and the ice creem at the same
time. They can't eat the sandwiches
first, you know, because if they do the
cream will melt, and if they throw in
the cream to start with, the sandwiches
like Banquo's ghost-they will not

vigorously at the dramatic critic, in order
TO attract the attention of that person to
his able joke. But the critic was trying
to smoke cigar that the advance agent
Of the whale had given him. and did not
! look.
"Of course, continued the biographer
of Goldsmith Maid, =" it would be better
il you could give each guest box stall
and throw the feed in early in the even

The relations between women and the
dumb animals whom they keen and
adore form a very interesting and COM
plex question. The lady who is given
to horses and to dogs regards them with
feeling altogether different from those
entertained by men, who are, in sense,
equally devoted to both. Love- there is
poehcal authority for saying, makes up
the whole sum Of the existence of wom-
en-, and is II thing apart to the life of a
man and the woman who has passion
for her stable and her kennel seldom
finds time for anything else. The dog
which she pets and the horse which she
rides have a more vivid personality than
they could possess for the sluggish soul
of any of the lords of creation. The
most enthusiastic panegyrists of animals
have been women. Kingsley and White
Melville both of them loved dogs and
horses, and described what may be
called their inner life and emotions with
pathos and power. Katerfelto is mon
ument reared by loving, rs well MS by
n knowing, hand to an immortal steed.
But one must go to the novels of Ouida
to find what dumb-animal worship really
is. No doubt the animals themselves
are perfectly aware of the intensity of
the affection which they awake in the
breasts Of their mistresses. They do
their best to reciproeate it, and thus
there springs up between the dog OF the
horse and the lady n sentiment which is
one Of more than intelligent friendship,
and almost approaches to the verge OF
romantic attachment.

Magnetism OF Books.

An author goes to his work with the
same definite purpose as the mesmerist
does-that is, tn make his readers think
the way he does on the subject he writes
of. How far he succeeds depends upon
his magnetic power; or in other words,
on how far he can impose his own per
sonality in the place of your own. Some
hooks are fuller than others of this pecu-
liar life-are as vivid and sparkling as
sunlight on moving waters-although
the language may be even commonplace,
while the same subject, illustrated by
the same figures of speech and written
with apparently greater care and knowl-
edge of the subject, fall flat on the mind
and fail to make any impression what
ever. An unmagnetic writer may vary
his style IA much as he likes, but he will
always fails, no matter how great the
irnths he presents. Many a polished,
scholarly intellect has had to bow before
the rough and ready oratory or writing
OF one his inferior in everything else but
that peculiar power Of impressing
others.
