RAILWAY TRAVELLING.
The Superior Attractions of the

picturesque Ii. N ..
In minds eye assembled, and in full reaii-
zation of the fact that there are times when
dollar means hundred cents, aud every
copper worth ten mills. Hence, to travel
leads to comprehension of the possibilities.
Whether it is advisable to exhaust available
funds in the frills of railroadiug, or per con-
ira secure the best American brains can per-
feet, with no other cost than the regular
ticket rate, is no longer question. ''No
Extras" has it by large majority. To get
the very finest facilities for comfort, conve-
nience and relaxation en- route is the true
American principle of travelling, and to af-
ford this without thought of exaction upon
the plea that there are privileged classes in
this country, is the true basis of American
railroad management.
OF such is the Baltimore and Ohio, and it
is the only line running Limited Express
trains upon which the passenger is permit
ted the freedom of making his own choice
as to accommodations. Further, it is the
only road upon which Limited Express
trains are maintained without compelling
the passenger not only to pay for such ac-
commodations as are by some one else chos-
en- for him, but to pay double prices for the
same.
The B. & O.'s Chicago Limited composed
of magnificent new Buffet sleeping and din
ing cars and day coaches, makes the run to
Chicago, without the change of car on the
train, in twenty-five hours and fifty five
minutes, which s faster than auy train upon
any other road running Limiteds. upon
which extra charges are made, or any other.
The b. y O.'s Cincinnati Limited composed
of elegant and most convenient new Family
room sleeping cars and day coaches, makes
the run through, without change, in sixteen
and quarter hours, or upwards of four
hours quicker than the limited of any other
road, all the talk of ''the Fastest Trains in
the World' to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.
The B. q O.'s limited to st. Louis is oyer
an hour faster than the Lmiteds upon
would be rival lines, while the same is true
of the b. u O.'s Limited to Pittsburg. The
difference in time of through trains from
Baltimore west is one hour longer than
from Washington, all trains on the B. & o.
passing directly through the National Capt.
tai, it being the only line so situated, all
other routes between the East and the West
reaching Washington through side issues
as it were. 1t should be stated that the
time between Baltimore and Washington by
the Baltimore &Ohio, is not necessarily an
hour, as regular trains are run the forty
miles in fourty-fve minutes, and others in
fifty and flfty-fve minutes.
From Chicago, st. Louis, Cincinnati aud
Pittsbnrg, the B. &: o. Limited train service
east-bound is equally advantageous and
those who take the little trouble requisite to
familiarize themselves with facts before buy
ing tickets, will not only save no inconsid-
cradle sum in money, but in time as we'll.
All should know that upon
the B. & o. Limited trains not a
nickle over and above the regular fare is de-
manded. The passenger is not, as upon the
Limited trains of other lines, made to pay
for accommodations he or she may not de-
sire, and such not merely at the regular
price, but double, or get off the train. On
the B. & 0. Limited one pays, if he chooses
to take the sleeping car, simply the regular
card rate. There is no compnlsion in any
