OUR WILLAGE ON WHEEES.

Leigh Hunt, in commenting upon
Shenstone’s lines written in an inn, says
that stopping at an inn is like being
abroad and at home at the same time—
abroad in respect to the novelty, and at
home as regards doing what we please.
This happily illustrates the mode of
life which we are now enjoying in the
Pullman Palace Cars. Of the novelty of
our position there certainly can be
no question, for in addition to the
change from a private residence to an
ordinary hotel, which is always pleasant
as a change, we are temporarily stopping
at a hotel on wheels; at a peripatetic
caravansery ; at a locomotive lodging
house. In Chicago, and other cities of
the west, it is not uncommon to raise
hotels and other buildings on wheels and
rollers and move them from place to
place; and last yearthe hotel Pelham,
in Boston, was moved back a distance of
several feet. But thereis a method in
the motion of our hotel; it goes forward
in one direction, and it goes with a will.
This is an altogether fresh and new
experience to most of those in the train.
Nor can there be any doubt that all the
inmates of this moving hotel make
themselves at home. They read, write
and talk in their parlors; they sing and
vlay in the saloons; they eat and drink
at the cosy little tables, and they move
from car to car with freedom.

Last evening a little party made itself
happy in the “St. Charles,” drinking
“Molasses and water,” with sprigs of
“sage” in the tumblers, and straws, just
for the fun of the thing, and singing
serious, comic and serio-comic songs, as
they were moved to do. We commend
this mild form of drinking, and especi-
ally this spirit of goodfellowship to all
fellow passengers, and would respect-
fully exhort them to continue as they
have begun, to make themselves at
home,

The universal judgment of our party
is, that the table throughout our train
is supplied far in excess of our highest
expectation; and it has astonished us to
find it demonstrated to us personally,
that a Pullman Hotel train can really
equal the best first class hotel, whose
table includes all the luxuries of the
season.

— Yesterday forenoon we _ passed
through the first snow-sheds and fences
on the eastern end of the Union Pacific
Railway, and found around them, wild
flowers instead of snow.

CELEBRATION IN CHEYENNE.

 

On the arrival of our train, a large
force of United States Cavalry was
drawn up for our inspection, and Gen.
Thos. Duncan, Col. Wilson and Major
Howe, came forward to receive us.
Also Gen. John H. King, who sent his
full regimental band to serenade us,
with exquisite music, which they did at
intervals throughout our stay. Hon. J.
A. Campbell, Governor of Wyoming
Territory, then came forward, and in a
neat little speech, gave us a cordial
welcome to his territory. He was re-
sponded to by Hon. Alex. H. Rice, Pres’t
of our Board, who waxed eloquent with
the enthusiasm engendered by the place
and occasion. Mr. Rice then invited
Gov. Campbell to dine with us on the
train and honor us with his company,
which he kindly consented to do as far
as the limits of his Territory. We are
truly grateful for the attention so boun-
tifully showered upon us.

THE SUNSET LAND.

As the setting sun began to throw its
golden mantle over the western sky, our
train came slowly up the grade toward
the Summit at Sherman. There, 8,242
feet above tne coast line, our party dis-
embarked; then ladies and gentlemen
all congregated upon the topmost rock
and sang America with an expression
and pathos that awakened a thrill in
every heart. Then followed the Star
Spangled Banner, John Brown, and a
Doxology, after which Goy. Campbell,
standing on the highest point, spoke
words of welcome to the party, after
which three cheers were given for the
Summit of our native land. Pike’s and
Long’s Peaks were visible, covered with

snow, nearly 175 miles distant. We were
far above the line of vegetation on the
Alleghanies, and considerably higher
than the summit of Mount Washington.
