ENGINE TRIAL.-Washington Fire Com
pany, No. 5, made a trial of their engine on
the Public Square yesterday evening, throw
ing one hundred and eighty-six feet, through
5-inch nozzle. This is probably not fair
test of her power, as the machine is entirely
new, and may work better after she has been
awhile in active service. She is a beautiful
machine, and we have no doubt the gallant
Elves will bear her nobly in the "thickest of
the fight" when occasion presents.

paragraph Of prose:
"In this article. we would be understood to
be speaking of the Colonel" as government
official and not as q journalist. Should he see
fit to keep the "pen in hand" he may be assur-
ed that, contrary to his opinion, we have been
here long enough to have cultivated all the
moustache that is necessary for tilt with
him.
We would 60 all the way to Dubuque to see
a fight between the pugnacious editors of that

enough and it is to be hoped that q fight will
come of a. soon as the Col. has cultivated all
the moustache' necessary to Sampsonize him
for the contest. Try Woods Restorative"

Mr.. Douglas, in matters of fact. One one Occa-

Capital Coming Wea-Very large amounts
of capital will seek investment in Chicago this
Spring. Agents for Eastern capitalists are busy
making preparations to loan all the money that
may be wanted for term of years, upon real
estate security. The rate of interest is ten per
cent, with commissions added, and we have
no doubt but before June there will be plenty of
money deposited in this city by New England
ers and New Workers, which can be had for
eight per cent. and commissions. Six Per cent.
is the highest rate that it will command in the
