Part 3

The Michigan Central Railroad has always held a foremost place amongst the lines between Chicago and the Atlantic sea-board, and the latest addition to their accommodations in the shape of four new Dining Cars will greatly strengthen its position.

These new cars are incomparable for beauty of design and selectness of adornments, all the elegancies of art having been exhausted to produce the most desirable effect. That the end has been gained, goes without saying, and they stand to-day as far in advance of other Dining Cars as the first Dining Cars were in advance of the lunch counters at wayside stations.

The _cuisine_ is quite on a par with the finish of the cars, and all that may minister to the nourishment of the body, or tickle the palate of the most discriminating epicures, will be found therein.

Other great features of the Michigan Central Railroad are that its through trains for New York and Boston run out of Chicago along the Michigan Lake front within a stone's throw of the city's costliest mansions, through South Park and the magic city of Pullman, affording an extensive survey of this marvel of a marvelous age, and later passing in full view of Niagara Falls. It is for this latter reason known to all travelers as "The Niagara Falls Route."

Four Ace Preserving Paint.

For more than _twenty years_ this paint has been in general use by master mechanics, master car builders and chief engineers upon the principal railroads in this country, who have pronounced it _superior_ to any paint they have ever used, for the many purposes to which it has been applied, viz.: For painting _car roofs_, the _upper_ face and _outside_ of _car sills_, the _mortise_ and _tenon_ when building or repairing cars, the _outside_ of locomotive boilers before the lag is put on, the inside of _locomotive tanks_ to protect the iron from rust, the inside of _pits of tenders_ to protect the iron from the injurious effects of the coal, _trucks_, _wheels_, _bridge timbers_, _turn tables_, the _inside_ of _station water tanks_, _roofs of buildings_, _etc._, _etc._ It penetrates wood, forming a body in the same, which _no other paint does_. Is _impervious_ to _water_, and the _best preserver_ known.

The foundation of this paint is _creosote_, which in its nature, is very _penetrating_ and the best known _preserver_. It is mixed ready for use, and _one gallon_ of _this paint_ will cover _twice_ the _surface_ of any other paint in use. This paint is very extensively used for painting _vessel hulls_.

Books with full particulars will be sent to parties, by addressing

PATIENCE

When possible, is, undoubtedly, a gem equal in value, in some respects, to the "pearl of great price." It helped Job through some rough experiences. But it will be scarcely available to most of the good people of this country when they come to know of the Royal Arch grandeurs awaiting their enjoyment at the charming Summer Resorts in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa, where they are as thick as diamonds in Golconda all along the lines of that _Great Bonanza Railway_, whose other name is

CHICAGO, MILWAUKEE & ST. PAUL,

unless they can get at them "right away quick." _Then_ they cannot control their

IMPATIENCE

to at once view those delightful spots,--

"Where breezes baffle heat; Where shaded dells and mossy coverts be; Where giant trees to heaven raise their heads; Where earth is free, and nature unconfined Fills the soul with reverence."

* * * * *

_Then_

Conceive me if you can In a fairy summer land, Where weary bones find rest In loose and careless dress, A jolly, contented old man.

In plain prose: Those who wish to be enlightened as to matters so imminently concerning their welfare, can be so far gratified, by applying (before the edition is exhausted) to A. V. H. Carpenter, General Passenger Agent, Milwaukee, Wis., for a copy of the beautifully illustrated book entitled "A Reconnaissance of the Golden Northwest," and for a copy of "The Tourist's Guide".
