They OUGHT TO HAVE HAD CRUTCHEs.-We
give elsewhere report of a queer debate in
the Chicago Board Of Aldermen. It appears
that the conscript fathers Of that fourishing
city are getting feeble, and they have voted
themselves SIMPLY Of gold headed canes, at
forty dollars each, and have ordered the City
Treasurer to pay for them cut Of the public
transaction was caused by the spirit Of imita-
ton which is so prevalent in the rural districts,
and which gives rise to the most ridiculous
blnnders--as, for example, we have a hotel
here named for very successful merchant, its
owner, and Immediately Aston Houses spring
up all over the country. In Boston they have
two great hotels the fremont and Revere
houses, both names derived from purely local
causes. fremont was derived from the three
hills on which Boston was built, and the
Revere House property was originally
owned by conservative old copper.
smith named Paul Revere. But there ore
fremont Houses all over the country; aud
a drinking house, which was the scene of
horrible murder, is dignifed with the name
of the other crack hotel in the Modern Athens
as lift was entitled to particular reverence on
account Of the bloody fray that took place 10
il. New York has lately been notorious for
the corruption of its officials, and the Chicago
people seem desirious eliminating our indicted
aldermen and councilmen, so they poke their
fingers into the city strong box and appropriate
forty dollars worth Of cane . piece. Their con-
stituents ought to lay the canes over the alder
mems backs.

HOW cnATmipgiy ROMANTIC, TO De sure! Ma
dame Geoffroy st. Hiaire, from bereaved
peasant woman Of France, sends an infants
troasseaa complete, for the benefit of some
slave mother hurryiD to the North ''that her
child may be born in free land" and while

son captured by the Philadelphia abolitionists,
with her children, from Col. Wheeler, cur Nj
caragua Minister, as he was passing through
the city; and Jane johnson wins the prize!
This will be plum for Passnore Williamson.
We are not altogether satisfied, however,
that Jane Johnson, in preferring African

mate, trousseau included has done better than
she might have done by going with her master
down to Nicaragua, where green corn and
watermelons are among the fruits of January;
where summer reigns all the year round; where
the dividing lines between whites, indians and
blacks have been obliterated by the most tho
rough admixture of the several races; and where
slavery and fugitive slave laws are unknown.
The object of these bazaars is to raise funds
for abolition lecturers, pamphlets and period-
cals, in order to keep up the agitation. This
last anniversary Of the Boston national estab.
lisbment shows that the league between oar
own propaganda and the aboltionists OF Great
Britain and France, notwithstanding the ex-
penses of the war; is still actively maintained.
and that our women's rights women engaged
in these bazaars are still devoted to "Uncle
