A correspondent in Life Illustrated
gives the following reasons for the fcti.
lipus names many of our cities wear:
Baltimore is the "Monument City,
from the great battle monument and sev.
eral others of note. within it's limits
Boston is the Classic City" or Athens
of America, from it's acknowledged pre-.
eminence in the literary and fine art pur.
suits.
Chicago. ILL.,, is the "GardenCity," from
the luxuriant richness Of its surrounding
country.
Cincinnati is the "Queen City," SC
christened when it was the undisputeG
commercial metropolis of the West; hui
I believe Chicago now sets up rival claim,
To that distinction.
Cleveland, O., is the Forest City,
from the peculiarly rural aspect of its
streets, squares and private groanls
which makes ii one of the most delightful
cities i'll the United States.
Columbus, o.. is tho Fossil City,
from the beautiful fossil limestone whicl
ahounds in its locality. and Of which mucl
of the city is built.

The war its Donc.

The Cincinnati Times nearly every
evening, has statements respecting votes
alleged to have en- taken in hotels and.
drinking saloons, for candidates for the
Presidency, oil of them being nearly
unanimous in favor of Fillmore. The
following is said to be the way in wlliok,
these statements are gotten up:
One of the Tines ,.localsn goes into 3.
low hotel where he is acquainted. and Just
as the gong sounds, steps into the door.
and announces that "all in favor of Fin.
more will dine at the FIRST table, which 10
now Teadyl" Ofcourse, the hungry crowd
go in, and tins is the result attained.
The Times man then starts towards his
office, and being dry, and desirous Of get.
ting drink at the expense of the estab-
lishment, steps into saloon where theirs
is score of thirsty loafers, and going to-
ward the counter says in loud tone Of
voice, "all in favor of Fillmore come up.
and take a drinkr' All so whe0 thus in--

dependent or choice in his company than

sake Of the vote, the local has bis drink
and the "item, the public are humbuggsd,
and all, including consciences, are satisfied.
This method of ascertaiping the prefers
ence of the people for President, we con-
fess, is rather original, and we are alsse
willing to concede its ingenuity in . nea-
sure rv,leems its impudence.-C Gin. Eao.
