- ENCLISH RAILWAYS. Means Employed for the Pres- ervation of Life, A Comparison Between the British System and That of Amere foa--Superiority of the Former. San Francisco Chronicle “T’ll tell you what,” said a certain Yankee tourist to a receptive police- man, as he stood before Victoria's throne in the English house of lords, “I'm_jest proud of old England when I look around me and see all ot this here. Now, we can't come up to you in finery and all that, but we do jest go right ahead of you in steam cars an’ sech like.” These words, uttered with more attention to plain facts than rhetorical elegance, expressed a truth which is generally conceded, yet, not- withstanding the superior style and comfort of the American car, the tiny English vehicle is so attractive to the average English traveler that there is little possibility of its being superse- ded. An English railway train is sui generis. At least there is nothing like it in Amcrica. Called by a cer- tain writer ‘‘a string of little insig- nificancies, with a fat, dumpy little plaything at its head,” little imposing dignity will be tound about it asa whole, yet such a means of convey- ance is necessary in a country where caste is 8o strongly marked, and where rank and wealthare the distinguishing traits of the national growth. Just 48 the Englishman considers the hotel to be an advanced form of the board- ing house, where the privacy of home life is in a measure retained at the ex- pense of the general public, so the railway car is only an advanced form of the old-fashioned stage-coach, and differing from it not much, except in the division into compartments, and in the rate of speed at which itis pro- pelled. The superiority of the Ameri- can mode of traveling to that of Eng- land is pretty well known. In the one country hotel, parlors and palace cara are as common as hackney-coaches in the other, while there are no hotel nor parlor cars, and but one single service of palace cars in all England. The English cars generally are Limited to three classes; the same varying greatly on different roads. Each car is divided in several compartments, mostly four — each compartment being entered by a door on the side, and separated by a closed partition from the compartment adjoining. These partitions render impossible the char- acteristic long halls of the American train, and only by means of a small platform extending on the outside can one section be entered from another. This platform is utilized by the guard in collecting the tickets of the pas- sengers, and the same are passed to him through the compartment win- dow. BACKWARD RIDING, The cars being entered on the side, one-half the passengers must ride backwards, nng if the train be full, the four persons who enjoy the win- dow seats are the only ones who ride with comfort and who catch even im- perfect glimpses of the s&cenery through which the train passes. The first-class compartments, which are patronized by ‘‘fools, princes and Americans,” as the customary formula runs, are the most expensive of all and in comfort and elegance approach the nearest to our own Pullman cars. The floor is generally covered with a rug, which is clean ‘and new. The windows glisten and are tastefully curtained. The seats are luxuriously cushioned and the guard is obsequious and obliging. The second-class com- partments are patronized by the bet- ter class of tradesmen and professional men and gentlemen, and as a rule are not much less comfortable than the first. The floor is often bare, but clean, the seats are less elegantly up- holstered and the guard is civil, but neither 80 obsequious or obliging. A good second-class car in England or Germany is often more richly fur- nished than the average first-class car of Ttaly or France, but in either coun- try cushions, curtains and comfort are generally wanting in the third- class compartments. In the English compartments the flooris bare and often covered with dirt, the windows are dusty and the boards for seats are unusually hard. On account of the low rates of fare the mass ot the fieuple prefer this class, and whatever e the route the cars are generally crowded. This difference in rates is a greater element in determining the car than one would suppose, and the same may be learned from the fares between Liverpool and London by the Northwestern company’s trains, that for a first-class carriage being about $8.26 in American currency; for a second class, $5.756, and for a third class only 84. The third class co- partment, too, y be on the same car with the first; or, if ‘not attached, at least to the same train. In addi- tion to the usual number of compart- ments for the accommodation of the passengers, there is a compartment for guard or lugeage van; and, since an Englishman, his umbrella and dog are gencrally inseparable, a “*hound van” is also something added. First-class passengers are allowed more baggage than the third, though in either case articles which can be crowded under the seat go free, The word baggage, 80 common in America, is unknown in England, ]ufgugn being the word everywhere used. All luggage is weigh- ed, but is never checked, and for any excess a ticket is required, THE MOTIVE POWER, The locomotave is a cute little ma- chine, which reminds one of a good- sized toy, but with immense power with respect toitssize. It rattles along the track with a pace seldom equaled in other parts of the world, and seldom does a break or accident oceur, The whistle is low, sharp and shrill. Most San Francisco hoodluns would Lave hut little difficulty in imi- tating it on their fingers, and with lungs powerful enough a noise equally a8 loud might be produced. A "great railway corporatlon is said to have no soul, and this may account for the fact that the engineer and ‘‘stoker” of an English locoaotive have apparently no protection from the extremes of the weather, but are exposed the year round to driving raiv, scorching heat, pierving fog and freezing cold. A ve: slight sum, judiciously expended, would afford these employes the neces- sary shelter and protection, and why such comfort should be denied is one of those railroad problems which but | few mortals are able to fathom and explain. But if the English cars are inferior to those of America, the man- agement of the line is vastly superior. The track is straight and amooth and beautiful. Tt is guarded by law from vandal feet with as much care as the garden spots of the country lords, and for any one to walk along the line or in other way trespass upon the prop- erty of a railway corporation wuu‘d be a gross transgression of private rights, and quite beside the question. Pas- sengers are ‘‘respectfully requested” or ‘“‘earnestly solicitod” to cross the track by the bridge or pass under by means of a tunnel, and if the request or solicitation be unheeded a fine of 40 shillings is demanded. All city streets and country roads and® paths cross the track, either above or below the common level, and to attain this end the most ingenious shifts are often employed. To keep the line straight and level it is carried through a hill rather than around it, and the tunnels are constructed in the most elaborate and expensive way. Not only are the tunnels constructed with reference to architectural grandeur, but tho stone and iron work of the drains, viaducts and bridges show the most liberal out- lay in accordance with the object to be attained. This large expenditure 18 especially true in London itself. From Charing Cross one can take a train every few min- utes from tho level of the street or he can ascend a stairway and take another above many of the housetovs, or he can descend into tho earth and take still another away below the surface. The metropolitan or under- ground system of railways in the great city provides most admirably for rapid transit between s‘ations in the city and stations in the suburbs. This system consists mainly of a series of tunnels with almost as many branches as the catacombs of Rome, with openings here and there to the sur- face for the ascent and descent of passengers. There is made an almost complete circuit of the city, so that a passenger may start from some central pomt, as Moorgate street, near the bank, and after traveling for an hour finds himself back at Moorgate street again. Notwithstanding the enor- mous cost of such a line its advanta- ges are readily seen. Except foraged and feeble persons the ascent and de- scent of the stairways are easy; the danger from collissionand accident on the surface is avoided; and the space aboveis left to be utilized for other necessary purposes. TASTEFUL STATIONS, But if the English railway lines in general are constructed with little care for the curtailing of expense the cul- mination of taste seems to center in many of the' stations. This is true more especially of the stations in smaller towns than in the large citics, but in all England a rickety or tum- ble-down structure could scarcely be found. In the larger cities, as London, Liverpool and Birmingham, the sta- tions are elegant structures of wood and glass, and are supplied with ever; convenience the travelor can demand. In each may be found three classes of refreshment rooms, corresponding to the three classes of cars; newstands, which might more rightly be called bookstores, since the stock is not much inferior to that of the dealers in Booksellers’ Row; parcel rooms, where luggage is cared for at a nomi- nal price, thus relieving tourists from bother while ‘‘doing” the town; lug- gage-rooms, hotel accommodations and the other appendages necessary to the emjoyment of travel. But while the smaller English cities can boast of stations rivaling in elegance those of Chicago or New York the smallest stations are often the feature of their respective towns, and being substantially built are decorated in the most finished and artistic manner. Each station consists of two parts, one on each side of the track, and each section has often its own booking office, refreshment, luggage and other rooms. Round about are seen beds containing roses, honeysuckle, sweet~ brier and other flowers, and these beds are sometimes arranged 80 as to form the name of the station itself. There are no crumbling fences, piles of loose dirt or other indiscriminate rubbish scattered around, but the walks are scrupulously clean and regular and the ground is tastefully sodded. In these stations are posted maps and notices ad infinitum, and the most trivial changes are everywhere provided for. It has been aflirmed that it is a more difficult process for a foreigner to make his way 100 miles in England than 600 miles in America, and any one who has ever attempted to unravel the mysteries of an intricate time table in Bradshaw's Guide will lose no time in subscribing to the affirmation. Passengers are not ticketed from one station to an- other, but ‘‘booked,” and if the journey be of any considerable extent the latter term is certainly the more nsnplivn\ylu, since the traveler is sup+ plied with & miniature volume in which is seemingly a check for every considerable town through which the train passes. Even the ‘‘oldest in- habitants” are puzzed often to dis- tinguish between the changes and are forced to question the guard like the veriest stranger. It has been said that it takes more than a merely hu- man understanding to grasp the sys- tem of the London lines, and the say- ing might be extended to include al- most every prominent system in Eng- land. CHEAF EXCURSIONN, Owing to the low rates of fare and the large number of popular resorts in the vicinity of the larger cities, the excursion business is one of the prom- inent features in English railway man- agement, and the wonder often is how 80 many sights and so much enjoy- ment can be offered for the trifiing sum which is demanded. Five shil- lings will give the London excursion- ists a day on the sands at Margate; two shillings and sixpence will take him to Windsor and return, and show him the castle and some of the finest scenery in rural England; oneshilling will take him to Hampton court, built by Cardinal Wolsey, and another to Epping forest, the favorite resort for l:".w partios; four shillings will take im to Brighton and show him one of the finest aquariums in the worid; and one shilling and sixpence will pay his fare to Bydenbham, admit him fo the famous Crystal Palace, a ml«lufiuunt exhibition of fireworks, a first-class variety performance, a promenade concert, THIE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, JULY i7, 1881 a museum of art and lesser sighta innumerable. S»\mrdn{ is the visiting and excursion day, and at this time the number of trains is largely increased, and these in every direction are crowded with enthusiastic sight seers and with people out for a day's ease and enjoyment. The beauty of English rural scenery has often been remarked, but seldom accurately dos cribed, The country along the rail- way lines is enlivened by groves of grand old trees and gentlemen’s seats, and the views in general are unspeak- ably rich. E ery hedge is trimmed with remarkable care,the hay and graip stacks are constructed with mathema- tieal precision, and the graveled roads are shaded so as to give a pleas- ing relief to thescenery. From Liv erpool to Dover the country is little else than a beautiful park, inter- spersed hero and there with cities and quaint old towns, the soil capable of the highest cultivation, and the land- scape in general offering every at- traction which the rules of the artist would demand. In a country like this it 18 not to be wondered at that the railway lines should be construct- ed and cared tor ina most elaborate and expensive way; and while short distances partly ni‘\illl\‘ the necessity of sleeping cars by night and parlor cars by day, yet were a few more im- provements added to the rolling stock in general, superior lines of transpor- tation in the world could not be found. Yankee inventions, you know, are not after all, quite the thing for the English public; but until more of them are adopted, their railway sys- tem will fall yet short of the position which its merits deserve. SOCIALLY STEWING In the Heat of Summer. fhe P, H, O. Party—Notes and Jottings.* THE WEEK. The social season in Omaha may be said to be taking a rest. With the Pleasant Hours party, most of the social clubs will close the season, and the heat will prevent for some weeks to come any extended parties or en- tertainments. The larger portion of Omaha’s inhabitants who can leave the desk and home have packed their trunks, and hied themselves to cool Minnesota, leaving those who are not so fortunate, stewing away in envy and caloric. The event of the week, was of course, THE PLEASANT HOURS PARTY. The ninety-fifth hop of the Pleasant Hours club was held on Tuesday even- ing at Hanscom park. Extensive preparations had been made for the occasion and the tireless energy of Mr. Charles Squires manifested itself in the most complete arrangements for the comfort and convenience of the guests. The dancing platform was lit by Chinese lanterns and brilliantly festooned with colored cloths. The Ninth infantry band were present and interspersed the music of the orchestra with some brilliantly rendered selections from their reper- toire. Among those present were Major Furey and wife and with them Messrs Snyder and Harry Painter, of Philadelphia, Captain Reagan and Mrs Trimble, Major Munson and wife, Captain Stembel and wife, Captain Palmer and Miss Russell, Lieutenant Foote and Miss King, of Fort Omaha, Geo, W. Thrall and wife with Captain and Mrs, Manning, of Fort Leaven- worth, Mr. and Mrs, Herman Kountze and Mrs Henry Yates, Mr. and Mrs. Barlow, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Connell, Mr. and Mrs. Ed.

NOTES, Prof. Pinney gave a pleasant party to his pupils on Wednesday evening upon the conclusion of his course of dancing lessons. I'ne P. E. vocal club delighted resi- dents of Capitol Hill with their music on Wednesday evening. The Bete Noirs have disbanded for the summer. Private picnics in Hanscom's park are becoming quite the thing. Mr, and Mrs, D. H. Goodrich gave a very rlomnt lawn party to a tew of their friends Friday afternoon and evening at their residence at Farnham and Twenty-fourth street. Cards have been issued for the mar- riage of Mr. Ashbell Patterson and Miss Anna C. Hayden. The ceremony will be performed on next Tuesday at 1o o'clock in Trinity cathedral. Mr, C.

Miss Agnes McDonnell, one of Cin- cinnati’s handsomest belles, who has been visiting her aunt, Mrs. Mullen, on Howard street, returned to her home on Wednesday. Miss McDon- nell, has made many friends during her stay in Omaha who will regret to learn of her departure. She has the best wishes of all. e, TRUE TO HER TRUST Too much cannot bo said of the over faithful wife and mothor, con- stantly watching and caring for her dear ones, never neglecting a single duty in their behalf. When they are assailed by disease, and the systom should havo a through cleansing, the stomach and bowels regulated, blood purified, malarial poison exterminated, she must know Amt Electric Bitters are the only sure remedy.
