ANTIQUITIES OF CHIcAeo.-One of
the Chicago papers states, that the Oldest
inhabitant born in Chicago, and now
living there, is lady of tscsnty-t,oo years
Of age. The editor, not enjoying her
acquaintance, ventures to incur her dis
pleasure by the statement, that the
s'oldest native inhabitant" of Chicago, a
city of more than sixty thousand people
is Miss Ellen Hamilton, the daughter of
Col. R. ]. Hamilton.
So late as 1884, only twenty 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 of that year, a large
public meeting of the citizens of Chi
cago was held at the house of Mark
Besubien, at which, of course, speeches
were made and memorial was drawn
up and sent to the Postmaster General,
stating the grievances under which the
citizens labored, and the pressing neces-
sity there was for increased mail facili-
ties. The contrast presented by the
present post Office business is truly as
tonishing. The Chicago post Office is
now sending out and receiving fourteen
daily mails, besides several weekly and
try-weekly. The receipts Of the Office
for the quarter ending January 1st, 1854,
were over S130,OO0.
The amount of letters passing through
the Office average over $4,000 daily, and
there are rs bags containing $4,000
newspapers. The average number of
letters received by the citizons of Chi
cago, and sent out from the Office, is
about 5000 per day.

Col. FREMoNT's PARTY AND ITS Sur
FERIEes.-A Mormon, named Smith,
wrote to the Deseret News, from Paro-
wen, that on the 7th of February, Col.
Fremont and his party reached that
place. He says:
"They reported that they had eaten
twenty-seven broken-down animals ;
that when horse or mule could not go
further, it was killed and divided out,
giving one-half to the Delawares, and
the other to the Colonel and his men;
the hide was cut in pieces and cast lots
for; after the bones had been made into
soup, they were burned and carried
along by the men for luncheon. The
entrails were shaken, and then made
into soup, together with the feet and
eyes, thus using up the whole mule
They stated they had travelled 45 days
living on this kind of fare. Although
Colonel Fremont was considered by the
people an enemy to the saints, and had
no money, he was kindly treated and
supplied on credit with provisions for
himself and men, while at Parowen,
and fitted out with animals and provi-
sions to pursue his journey, and went
on his way rejoicing on the Goth Of
February"
Fremont has since that reached the
Pacific, and reported all of his party
safe.

You've AMERIcA.-In his lately pub
lished volume of lectures on ''the moral
aspects of city life." Rev. E. M. Chapin
says:
"There are young men whose whole
conception of enjoymentis concentrated
in the word 'Fast'-who grow fast, live
fast, go fast on the track Of destruction,
with their own folly for locomotive,
and champagne and brandy for the
steam-power; converting themselves
into liquor casks, propping up door
posts, hanging over ratings. and start
ling the ear of night with rickety melo-
dy and drunken war-whoops. There
are others. half fop and half rufisn, who
divide their time between the fav rite
racer and the pet pugilist. and whose
idea of a millennium, probably, would
be thato aProtracted Fourth Of July"

PRIvATEERISG.-The following pas
sage upon privateering, written by
Thoma Des Quincy in 1889, and pub
lished as part of his paper on Casuis-
try, in "Blackwood's Magazine" in
that year, is interesting in itself at the
present time, and as showing remarka-
bic power to pre-determine the result of
the action of moral forces:
There is, however, amongst civilized
nations, mode of piracy still tolerated,
or which aoas tolerated in the last war,
but is now ripe for extinction. tits that
war of private men upon private men,
which goes under the name of privateer-
ing. Great changes have taken place in
our modes of thinking within the. last
twenty-five years; and the greatest
change of all lies in the thoughtful
spirit which we now bring tc the in
vestigation of all public questions
We have no doubt at all that, when next
a war arises at sea, the whole system of
privateering will be condemned by the
public voice. And the next step after
that will be, to explode all war whatso-
ever, public or private, upon commerce.
War will be conducted By belligerents
and upon belligerents exclusively: To
imagine the extinction of war itself, in
the present stage of human advance, is,
we fear, idle. Higher modes of civili-
zation-the homo sapiens of Linneus
more humanized, and other improve
ments must pave the way for that; but
amongst the earliest of those improve
ments, will be the abolition of war
carried into quarters where the spirit Of
war never ought to penetrate. Priya-
teering will be abolished. War, on a
national scale, is often ennobling, and
one great instrument of pioneering for
civilization; but war of private citizen
upon his fellow, in another land, is al
ways demoralizing.

The MAN WHO DON'T ADVERTISE
You meet him occasionally, and know
him whenever you encounter him. He
is his own betrayer. His business he
will not advertise, but involuntarily ad-
vertises himself wherever he goes. His
coat is always little seedy. He never
reioices in new beaver. His shirt col
lar manifests a decided tendency to
skulk behind his cravst--an unfailing in
dication of declining prosperity. He
looks at you askant, suspiciously, as
though you had designs upon him. He
always wears meek, hang-dog sort of
expression of countenance, like tenant
of life at sufferance. He has the blues.
He has the dyspepsia. He has nothing
to do at present, nothing better in pros
pect. His pockets never resound with
the sweet music of the "rocks." The
clean pages of his ledger are rarely sui
lied with entries. He is like mummy
in the great world around him, unknown
and uncared for-like the fifth wheel of
coach, out of place and worse than
useless.-N y Dutchmdn.

To WASH SHEEP.-A correspondent
of the Ohio Cultivator, says, 81 take a
hogshead with one head out, water
tight; or large meal tub, and sink it in
the stream where there is considerable
current, and take few rocks and put in
the bottom of the hogshead, l take four
stakes with forks on one end, and drive
them down until the forks come over
the top of the hogshead to secure it
from coming up. After this is done, 1
dip out the water and get into the hogs
head and have man to hand the sheep
to me, and I can wash 100 in very
short time, and be perfectly dry except
my arms"

N The steamship Atlantic in her
recent trip from Liverpool, encountered
an unusual quantity of icebergs. Gen.
Webb, of the N. Y. Courier, who was
among the passengers. says;
During the whole of Wednesday, we
continued to pass mountain after noun
tain of ice; and when 1 inform you that
Capt West, and the oldest seamen on
board, declared that they never saw SC
many or such large icebergs, you will
be able to form some idea of their mag.
nifcence. The weather was exceeding.
ly cold, but clear; and with a brilliant
moon at night, we were in no danger
and quite at liberty to enjoy one of the
rarest and most magnificent sights thai
can be imagined.
