The Triumph of Art In Railroad Travel.
Year ly year we note the footstep of
prop reus tn many directions. In no direc
tion Is progress more palpable than In the
tammies ottered the railroad traveler or the
present day. LtoklnR back but a few
years, we can nee the toiling snail-like
advance made day by day by the emigrant's
wagon, as It was slowly but surely drawn
toward sundown by the patient ox, or the
(lowly moving faun horse ; then came the
old Cushioned stage coach following closely,
we had the canal packet ; then the steamer
on the hikes and rivers ; then the locomo
tive engine aud the stage like car. Now I
the palatial coach, and more than palatial
drawing room and Bleeping car. l et, not
satisfied with these, that marvel of mam
moth western copnratiotia, the Chicago ft
North-Western Kail way, as we stated
some weeks ago, has developed hotel cars
that will, for elegance, usefulness and real
comfort, eclipse everything of the kind
that has been hitherto placed in service on
any road. Home of our readers seem to
have some doubts about the merits of hotel
cars, or their superiority over the so-called
dining car, that is ruu for a few miles on
Home roads. "I am not so Bure about
that," said oue of our friends, as he had
finished teading our first article about these
hotel coaches that are to be run on the
Omaha and California line of the Chicago
& North-Western Hallway, "I am not bo
mire I would care to take my dinner in any
car, no matter how much liko a palace,
while it was running at the rate of forty
miles an hour." It is a saying, "that the
faster you run the safer." Why, last June
it will be remembered, that this road vault
ed fioin Chicago to Council Mull's, in less
than ten hours, the how celebrated "Jarrett
and Palmer Train." On that train was a
hotel car, not as large, with less wheels
under it, poorer springs, and in no way as
strong aud easy for riding in as these now
cars are to bo, and yet, Mr. Jarrett said
"while on the Chicago & North-Western
line, running at an average rate of fifty
miles an hour, we took our breakfast as
. comfortably as we would at Dolmonioo's.in
New York."
It is well known tbat the Chicago &
North-Western Railway is built over the
roost favorable line as to grades that could
be found between Chicago and the Missouri
Kiver, with but few curves ; its track is
mostly of heavy steel rail, gravel ballasted,
with wide roadway, giving it permanence
and solidty it is as smooth as a floor, all
its cars strong, with plenty of wheels under
them, and with springs so adjusted that
the usual "bounciug" and oscillation is re
dueed to the minimum. We observed last
week that in an ordiuary car tho side mo
tion and rising and falling of the car was
-less than half an inch, and sometimes
scarcely perceptible. We believe it will be
found that a person will sit in these hotel
cars and cat or write as comfortably
as lie could at his desk or table at home ;
this we choose to call the tr iumph of art
in railivay travel.
We learn that this new line of hotel cars
is being pushed to completion as fast as
the full force of workmen in the Puiiman
shops can do it. We shall be certain to see
them in a few weeks. Cedar liapid AY

MB. DIOGENES?
This hlngular man lived in Greece. Ho
was distinguished for his eccentricities,
bad manners, and bad disposition. It was
bis chief business to find fault. For exam
ple, he took a lantern one day when the
sun was shining brightly and went out to
search for nn honest man, thereby insinuat
ing that such persons were exceedingly
scarce. When Alexander, a distinguished
military gentleman, paid him a visit, and
inquired what he could do for him, ho
had the impudence to tell him to "got out
of his sunshine." To cap the climax of
hiB oddities, he dressed like a beggar and
lived in a tub 1 lie was a sour, crabbed,
crusty old bachelor. We infer that he bad
no wife, first, because history does not
mention her ; second, because no woman
would take kindly to oue of his habits,
dress, or manners, or aspire to become
mistress of his mansion. "There was au
old woman who lived in a shoe," it is true,
but the woman who would live in a tub,
and especially with such a companion,
has not been heard from. The misanthropic
spirit which possessed this man was doubt
less due to disordered digestion aud a
biliousness, one of the prominent symptoms
of which is a morose, lault-linding disposi
tion. The tongue is heavily coated, giving
rise to a bad taste', the appetite is not good,
and the patient feels dull, sleepy, or dizzy,
and is apt to he fretful. Unfortunately,
Mr. Diogenes lived several centuries before
Dr. Tierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets
were invented, a few doses of which would
have relieved him of his "bile," and
enabled him to find scores of "honest
men" without the aid of his lantern.
Under their magic influence, combined
with tbat of the Golden Medical Discovery,
to cleanse his blood, he might have been
led to take a more cheerful view of life, to
exchange his tub for a decent habitation,
to "spruce up" In personal appearanco,
aud at last have taken a wife to mend his
clothes and his manners, both of which
were in cvideut need of repairs, and be
como the happy sire of little Diogeneses
who would have handed down to prosterity
the name, not of a eynio philosopher, but
of a cheerful, heattliy, happy, virtuous
man.'!
A Strange Case.
The London correspondent of the N. Y.
Times, says : "Miss Annie Goodule, the
actress, died three- weeks ago. Up to yes
terday she was not buried. The corpse
was warm and limp, and the features as
soft and mobile as when in life. Several
physicians have examined her, and have
ordered that the body shall be watched
night and day. The poor lady is evidently
in a trance, but whether she in destined to
1 come to lite it is impossible to say.
This is a Frog Story.
A Mobile, Ala., paper says "Oue of
the curiosities of our coast is a mammoth
frog, which was lately exhibited at the
New Orleans and Mobile depot. Several
river men declared that it is the largest
frog ever known to exist anywhere in our
country. It weighed over 200 pounds. It
was found under the wharf, at the foot of
Government street."
