THE PALACE CAR "PATMOS." ;"
Luxury and Comfort Combined on the
Virginia Midland.

The palace sleeping-car Patmos," !"
which has just been finished by the
Pullman Palace Car Company, is q
marvellous combination of luxury, COM
fort and beauty. The good taste shown
in its construction and the novelties in
troduced show what vast improvements
have been made of late in car construc-
ton and attest the many new effects that
can be produced in such work when de-
signed by men of skill and artistic in
stincts. This car is richer in its APP
pointments and more complete in its
many details of comfort than any other
devoted wholly to public use ever before
seen in this city. This car was built at the
company's works at Pullman and is one of
five cars Of the same plan intended for ser
vice between New York and Atlanta, via
Philadelphia, Wilmington Il Baltimore, on
the Baltimore & Potomac, Virginia Midland,
and Richmond & Danville system of roads.
II has ten sections besides drawing
room and smoking-room, but differs from
its predecessors In the style of decoration,
which is both unique and elegant. The cell
ing Is ornamented in gold and silver leaf,
peculiarly executed. The panels overhead,
making the divisions between the sections,
are IN bronze plush In the berth Sronts,
embossed plush and old gold, with hand
painted flowers, are substituted for mar
quetry with finely selected mahogany. The
embossed plush decoration Is also applied
to the bulkheads and other conspicuous
places in the car.
Another very striking feature is the high
back seats with eXtra-wlde cushions and
spring edges. The effect at the bulk heads
Is heightened by the use of mirrors framed
In antique brass. The seat coverings are in
bronze gold instead of the usual maroon,
while the drawing-room is very sumptously
decorated and arranged with n novel feat
ure In the sliding cylinder top to the wash
stand which can be opened and closed at
will, and when not In use as a layatory,
forms a handsome cabinet The smoking
room is finished in English Oak with richly
embossed leather trimmings. The doors Of
both the drawlng-room and smoking room
are fitted with beyeled plate glass of unique
design. The arrangements of the wash
stand at the gents end Of the car Is also
changed from the usual plan A magnh-
cent portiere of sky-bue velvet plush adds
| greatly 10 the general effect. The car has
the usual buffet, and electric bells at each
ferth for calling the porters, and its length
entire IL 65l feet

Always my little cage has held me fast.
And thro' its windows five can but see
This lower earth, so simply sweet TO me-
Those do not need me. / can only sing
The flowers hear me in the early spring,

breast
Oh, am happier than was ever guessed.
Mend my poor cage. in mercy shelter mel

The strange birds come again-their wings

They have been thro' this wild nights dark
and storm
They sorrow that l cannot. too. be free.
Nor know the raptures of immensity.
They spaak not to me of those spaces great
They whisper softly but TO trust and wait:
