The Chifaga Trade


We believe The time is not far dis
tnns when large portion of the trade OF
Northern and Central Indiana, which has
heretofore been poured into the lap OF
Cincinnati. will be given to Chicago.
To bring this about seems TO "a the de-
termination Of the business men Of the
litter city. The following from the
Chicago Tribune contains an inkling to
that effect:
The merchants. especially Of North
ern Indiana. would much advance their
interests il they wou Id come to Cbica-
20 and make their purchases instead Of
Cincinnati. We have conversed with
country merchants who have bought
goods at both Cincinnati and Chicago;
and who assure US that they much pre-.
fer our city 10 the former one. We sell
goods of oil ainds here just as low as
they can in the Queen City. and our ia
cilisies Of transporiion TO Northern In
diana. are far superior TO any which Gin.

were represented in the person OF plain
James Buchanan, man Of the people,
citizen Of democratic Anne rica, and her
Minister Plenipo,eniary at the court OF

Magic Wonders OF the Senses.

courses concerning the senses:
The senses are the most astonishing
parts Of nature. What can surpass in
mystery. the familiar act of vision, in
which this little ball Of painted humors.
as il turns at will in its socket, now
isaverses the cope of Heaven. and holds
converse with the stars. and then gathers
in its con.emplstions TO concentrate
them upon an insects wing, or the Pc
tails Of fower. The eye in fact Gre
ates the blue arch above us. sed spreads
the colors upon the sky. paints the
fields. and sees the rainbow in the clouds
sky. no rainbow in the clouds. They
are the magic wonders Of the eye itself.
And the ear. what is the power it pos
sesses TO wave off the air into music.
and fill the world. which else had been
silent ever more with the sweet harmo-
nies Of nature and Of man. Nor is the
touch less marvellous-alive all over, and
in the seemingly coarse and clumsy fin
gers ends possessing a delicacy of per-
ception. minuteness Of observation, an
e,he rial sensibilily Of which the eye it,
self is incapable. SO there are the phe-
nomena Of life in the human body, SO
unsconciously prodceed that we know n not
Of their health. and the complicated ac-
tion of all this machine. all so quiet and
noiseless. as to be untheught of and un-
suspected. till some accident disturbs or
jars. Truly we are fearfully and won
derfully made.
