The vestibule train Ii new factor iu
Western railroad transportation. It Is
claimed for thesc trains that on account
OF their being connected by steel hoods
all danger Of telescopiDg In case Of ac-
cident Is removed, the train being
practically one hong car. 1t Is certain
that the oscillation Of the cars Is greatly
reduced. and II Is also certain that the
vestibule trains afford the greatest COM
fort vet known to travellers. The adop-
ton Of this style Of train by the Chicago,
Santa Fe l. California Railway between
Kansas City ard Chicago Is strong bid
for the passenger traffic between the
West and Chicago. This new road is
IN many particulars ahead Of any of Its
older competitors, and will undoubtedly
be the popular road 10 Chicago.

MIR. DAVIS AND GEN. GRANT.
Noble and Kindly Sentiments Uttered by

Boston MASS, Dec. l2.-Whe" Gen
eral Grant was dyingin in the Mount Nc
Gregor cottage, the Boston Globe in
structed its New Orleans correspondent
to interview jefferson Davis. Mr..
Davis was not seen personally, hut
few days later he penncd the following
letter.
"DEAR SIR: Your request OF be-
half Of the Boston Globe, for me to pre-
pare 4 criticism on General Grants
military career cannot he complied
with for the following reasoliS: First,
General Grant is dying; second, though
he invaded our country with ruth
less hand, it was with an open hand,
and. as far as know. he ahetted neith-
er arson or pillage, and has since the
war, | believe, shown no malignity to
Tonfederates, either of the military or
civil service. Therefore, instead OF
seeking to disturb the quiet Of his clos
inc hours, l would, if it were in my
power, contribute to the peace of his
mind and comfort of his body.
