DAYS TO SAN FRANCISCO,
Cnicnoo, Oct. 28.—Three great railroad
lines from Chicago point toward New •York
—the Michigan Central, via Detroit and Can
ada, the Michigan Southern, via Cleveland.
and the Fort Wayne, via Pittsburgh. All make
about the same through time, and charge the
same through fare (S9O), but each has its
special friends, who invariably travel upon it,
and believe it immeasurably superior to all the
rest in comfort, agreeableness, and safety.
The great freight war which has been raging
during the Summer and Fall sprang rather
from the rivalry between leading New-York
and Pennsylvania lines than from that be
iween those Western roads. Ordinarily the
rate for first-class freight from New-York to
Chicago is 0.88 per hundred pounds ; but
during the past season it has ranged from 25
cents to $l.

In 1857, before the Pennsylvania Bond had
any Chicago connection, the other iival lines
put ou a quick time-table by which passengers
were brought through in 31 hours ; but after
eight months' trial it was abandoned on ac
count of the greatly increased wear and tear
of machinery. Since then, by tacit consent,
the through time upon all the routes has stood
at about 88 hours. But the Pennsylvania
Central, having leased the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne and Chicago Road for 899 years, has
now a through line from 60 to 84 miles shorter
thin those of the other companies. Practi
cally, the difference in Its favor ranges only
from 87 to 73 miles, as it will not permit trains
via Allentown to make any better through
time than those via Philadelphia. Still, 49
miles is a good deal, even in a long race ; and
a few weeks ago the Pennsylvania Company
made a sensation among railroad men by an •
nouncing "We propose to avail ourselves
of this advantage in distance, and take pas
sengers from New-York to Chicago in 80
hours I" This woke up the Northern lines ;
telegrains flew back and forth front New-York
to Chicago ; three men who carry 300 tulles of
railroad, apiece, in their pockets, met at Ni
agara for a few hours talk, and then the New-
York Central put foJt the bulletin : " We
shall carry passengers through in 29 hours I"
The Erie, it was-fansd, would !educe fares,
and not try to compin speed, but its man
agers promptly responded : " We will make
the same time as the Central I"
On Monday, Aug. 30, the new schedules
went into effect. All the lines claim nearly
an hour to which they have no valid title, for
they count their departure from New-York,
by New-York time, and their arrival here by
Chicago time, which is 54 minutes slower.
The actual. running schedules, by New-York
time, are :

In going Enst, the Pennsylvania line makes
on an average nearly 31 miles an hour, and
'accomplishes the entire journey in 24 hours.
This is the most remarkable running ever
done in America; for the heavy grades and
sharp curves over the Alleghanies cannot be
passed at a higher speed than 25 miles an hour,
even by dividing trains and using the moot
powerful locomotives. The delay has to be
made up on the Fort Wayne, which is almost
ail air-line and has no considerable grades. I
came West by this route. I could detect only
one difference between riding upon the fast
train and an ordinary express. In setting up
all machinery, from the hugest steam engine
to the tiniest watch, cure is taken to have no
pivot fitting exactly in its hearings, but to
leave a little freedom both for the " end-shake"
and the "side-shake." 'Upon .this train the
" side shake" is very lively. At times the'enr
rocks like a cradle, and the motion is not
gliding, but galloping. Where the track is
crooked, it produces nearly as much senoiick
ness as a rolling ship. At great speed, even
upon a straight line, nn inequality In a rail of

It is a sure breakwater against "telescoping,"
and in any shock it helps hold the train firmly
to the track. Of patent brakes there are two
—the "Myers" and the "Creamer." Both
enable the engineer, in any sudden danger, to
apply the brakes instantaneously and thinly to
every wheel in the train by pulling a little
cord which hangs beside hint. With the
"Myers'' a second pull of the cord takes off
the brakes and permits the train to back or go

conches running 45 miles an hour that even
with patent brakes it cannot be stopped in less
than 1,800 feet. In comfort our great gains
are : sleeping and dining cars, perfect ventila

West of Buffalo and Pittsburgh none of the
lines nre double tracked. Making the fast
time is a much more difficult feat than it was
in 1857, for the trains then ran only two pas
senger coaches, while they now run four or
five. On all the lines ninny people rush for the
fast trains because it Is fast, but the following
seems to men fair statement of its points ns
compared with the one which consumes 38
boors in the Journey from New-York to Chi
cago: Comfort, materially less. Coming by
it spoils two days, or brings one here at the
disagreeable hour of midnight. Passage by
the slower train occupies one day and two
nights ; but the traveler makes his toilet on
the sleeping-car on the second morning and
arrives ready for breakfast and a good day's
work. Danger, but very slightly increased.
At some points the train runs tiO miles an
hour; but even that is not uncommon upon
ordinary express for short distances. Much
of the gain In time Is through diminishing the
number and length of stoppages. Besides,
whenever an unusually quick train is put upon
any road the employes are correspondingly
alert and vigilant for it. During the eight
months of fast running 12 years ago there was
no serious accident upon either of the routes.

A heavy train running 50 miles an hour racks
and strains its rolling stock incredibly, and lit

like a cannon ball. • It is safe to conclude that

THE BEST WIFE IN THE
AVORLD
" 'rhe best little wife In the world !" said
Herbert Ainscourt.
Of course—l dare say." responded Mr.
Porteruss. " Ilut what's your exact idea of
the best wife in the world ! Jones says lie's
got the best wife in the . world, because she
keeps his stockings darned, takes him to church
three times of a Sunday, find never lets him

" Oh, Herbert! you are not going away

" I must, Daisy. There are a lot of fellows

party. You can gn over to lily mother's for
(rimer, or send for one of your friends, or
somthing. There, good-bye, puss, I'm in a

And with one careless kiss pressed on the
quivering damask rose of a mouth that was
11:ted up to him, he was gone.
Da' .v Ainsemirt neither went to her mo'her
in-law, nor sent for one of her girl friends.
She spent the evening all alone, pondering on
the shadow that was fast overgrowing her
life.
"What shall I do?" thought the little,
timid shrinking wile. " Oh, what shall I do?"
But, child as she was, Daisy had a strong,
resolute woman's heart within her, nor was
she long in coming to a decision.
" Daisy," said her husband to her the next
day, "you haven't any objections to my at

"Arc masked halls nice' places, 'Herbert 7"
" Oh, yes, everybody goes ; only I thought

well—shorn—not very well this time,
Daisy. You see Mrs. Fenehurch really hint
ed so strongly for me to take her that I couldn't
help it."
" Very well," assented Daisy, meekly, and
Herbert repeatedu himself the palm or
praises he had elianta in Mr. Porteross' cnrs
—write best little wile in the world."
But, notwithstanding rill this, Mr. linscourt
was not very well pleased, when, at the self
same Bal Masque, during the gay period of
unmasking, he saw his wife's innocent face
crowning in ileturesque costume of a Bavar
ian peasant
" Ilallo !" he ejaculated, 'rather ungracious
ly, "you here?"
" Ms," lisped Diisy, with a girlish smile
"You said everybody went. And, oh, tier
bCrt, isn't it nice ?"
Mr. Ainsworth said nothing more, but MN.
Fenchurch found him a very stupid companion
for the remainder of the evening.
Ile was late at dinner the next day ; but,
late as he was, he found himself more punc
tual than his wife, and the solitary meal was
halfover before Mrs. Daisy tripped in, her
Cashmere shawl trailing over her shoulders,
and her dimple cheeks all pink with the fresh
wind.
"Am I behind time ? Really, I'm so sorry
But we have been driving in the park, and—'
" We ? Who are ?" growled her bus
band.
" Why, Colonel Adair and I—the Colonel
Adair that you go out with so much."
"Now, look here, Daisy," ejaculated Mr.
Alnacourt, rising from the table and pushing
back his chair—" Adair isn't exactly the man
I want you to drive with I"
"But you go everywhere with him."
" I dare say—but you and I are two differ-
ent persons."
" Now, dear Herbert," Interposed Daisy,
wilfully misunderstanding him, "you know I
never was a bit proud, and the associates that
are good enough foi my husband are good
enough for me. Let me give you a few more
oysters."
Ainscourt looked sharply at his wife. Was
she really in earnest, or was there a mocking
undercurrent of satire In her? But he could

Mated the irate husband.
"Of course I don't believe in them, but it's

nice place to go to evenings. lam dull here,
evenings, Herbert."
Herbert's heart smote him, but he resolutely
answered, " I beg you will give up this ridicu
lous idea. What do women want of clubs ?"
" What men do, I suppose."
" But I don't approve of it at all."
"You belong to three clubs, Herbert."
"That's altogether a different matter."
"But why is it different I"
" Hem—why ? because—of course, anybody
can see why—it's self-evident."
" I must be very blind," said Mrs. Ains
court, demurely, "but I confess I can't dis

Herbert Ainscourt said no more, but lie did.
not at all relish the change that had late'.y
come over the spirit of Daisy's dream. She
did change, somehow. She went out driving
here, there and everywhere. He never knew
when he was certain of a quiet evening with
her ; she joined not only the club, but innu
merable societies for a thousand and one pur
poses, which took her away front home almost
'continually. Mr. Ainscourt chafed against
the bit, but It was useless. Daisy always had
an excuse to plead.
Presently her mother-In-law bore down
upon her, an austere old lady in black satin
and a chestnut-brown wig.
" Daisy, you are making my son wretched."
"Aml ?" cried Daisy. "Dear me, I hadn't
an idea of it I What's the trouble ?"
" You must ask himself," said the mother-
In-law, who believed—sensible old lady—in
young married people settling their own diffi
culties. "All I know is the bare fact."
So Patsy went home to the drawing-room
where Herbert lay on the sofa pretending to
read, but in reality brooding overhts troubles.
" What's the matter, Herbert V" said Daisy,
kneeling on the floor beside him, and putting
her soft, cool hands on his fevered brow.
" Tito matter? Nothing much; only lam
miserable," he sullenly answered.
" But why," she persisted.
"Pecause you are so changed, Daisy."
"Bow ant I changed ?"
" You aro never at home ; you have lost
the domesticity which was, In my eyes, your
greatest charm. I never have you to myself
any more.—Daisy, don't you see how this Is
embittering my life?"
• "Does it make you unhappy ?" she asked,
softly.
" You know that it does, Daisy.
"And do you suppose I like It, Herbert ?"
" What do you mean ?" he asked.
." I mean that I passed the first year of my
