Excerpt from A Parody on Patience 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 today 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.
