which makes us forget the warm weather more
completely, than The band which nightly dis.
courses sweet music from the balcony of Dan
Rices Amphitheatre. All the airs they play
are in delightful harmony and in good taste
Butwe have one favor to ask of them, and that
is to please let the sontag Polka alone. They
perform it remarkably well, but now that the
heroine of that beautiful caprice has gone to her
long home, its enlivening strains only strike dull
chords upon our ear, and fill us with melan-
eholly which is any thing but pleasant.

A BRILLIANT ExAMPLr,--On Sunday night,
the wife of Mr. Daniel Cronan, stone-cutter,
living on Ninth street, between Green and Gray
son, had three fine children at birth, two boys
and girl. We understand that several ladies
are engaged in obtaining subscriptions for the
mother These subscriptions are no doubt in
tended as premium, a reward of merit. We
hope they will amount to a handsome sum. In
that event it may be confidently expected that
Mrs Cronan's example will create a lsudable
emulation among wives generally.

ANTIQUITIES OF CHICAGO One of the Chicago
papers states that the eldest inhabtant born in
Chicago, and now living there, is lady only %
years of age. The editor, not enjoy ng her
Acquaintance, ventures to incur her displeasure
by the statement, that the ''odest native inhabi'
tant', of Chicago, city of more than sixty thou
sand people, is Miss Ellen Hamilton, the daugh-
ter of Col R Hamilton.
So late as 1884, only 20 years ago. there was
but one mail per week from Niles, Michigan, to
Chicago, and that was carried on horseback,
On the 18th of January CT that year, large
public meeting of the citizens of Chicago was
held at the house of AIR, Mark Beaubien, at
which, of course, speeches were made" and
memorial was drawn up and sent to the Post
master General, stating the grievances under
which the citizens labored, and the pressing
necessity there was for increased mail facilities
The contrast presented by the present post-othce
business is truly astonishing. The Chicago post
office is now sending out and receiving fourteen
daily mails, besides several weekly and tri-
weekly. The receipts of the office for thequar-
ter ending January LIST, 1854, were over one
hundred and eighty thousand dollars.
The number letters passing through the office
averages over 10000 daily, and there are 70
bags containing $4,000 newspapers The ave
rage number of letters received by the citizens
Of Chicago, and sent out from the office, Is about
| 5000 per day.

which have often had uron my lips, but have

man is never so handsome, never SO perfect, in

in his manly arms wife and children, and the
whole domestic circle, which, on his entrance
into the married state, closes around him, and
Constitutes part Of his home and world, He is
