IHE receipts for wheat at Chicago, Aug. l 4, for
twenty-four hours, amounted to ls3, 1888 bush
els; of Indian corn, OIL $50; of other grains,
1909. Some of our readers perhaps imag-
inc that it takes an army Of men to handle
so much grain. But not SO. They have
what they call grain elevators, which do all
the work by steam. One of these, the gigan-
tic building b, in the series owned by Stur-
gees, Buckingham 4 Co., was visited by US
during our recent trip to Chicago. 1t has
about nine flights of steps between the ground
floor and the roof aud is the most solidly
compact building We ever saw. We were IN
formed that 49, 900 kegs of spikes and nails
were used in its construction. A long train
of cars may be run into tie building, and the
grain which they contain, is quickly emptied,
by men with huge shovels, into the receivers,
whence by machinery 1t is drawn up, as wa
ter in pump, to the bins prepared for it on
the different floors. Here it is weighed and
measured, and the pounds and bushels are
registered, all by machinery. Thence it is
conveyed, by troughs, to the holds of the
vessels waiting to receive it. The vessels
approach almost to the very walls. Some of
these elevators can receive, unload, weigh,
measure, and ship, in the twenty -four hours,
one hundred thousand bushels of wheat or
Indian corn.

CHNA.-Advices received by the overland
mail from China say that Loo ChOo has been
sacked and burned by the rebel army.
The imperial troops have joined the rebel ar

NAPLEs.-A telegraphic dispatch from Naples
says "The volunteer force of General Garibal-
dis army, in attempting to effect landing at
Reggie, were repulsed" The Geneva papers
state that Gen. Garibaldi disembarked at Reggie
on the night Of The 10th inst, and that the Ne
apolitans had evacuated Sciella.
These assertions are regarded as doubtful ru-
mors. It was expected that General Garibaldi
would attack Venice.
RoME.-The last accounts from Rome repre-
sent that the city was tranquil. The Pope has
prohibited the expectation of corn from the
States of the Church. on account of the drouth.
AusTRIA.-It was believed that Garibaldi in
tended to attack Austria on the Croatian coast at
Triene, and provoke revolution in Croatia and
Hungary. The imperial cruisers are watching
the coast with the greatest vigilance.
PRussIA.-Advices from Berlin represent that
Prussia will remain neutral on the Italian ques-
ton, while the other great powers do not inter-

How They Talk AT the North.

The Eastern papers inform US, among 9th
er important things, that the "Hon. J. NJ.
Cook, of Mississippi" made speech, few
days ago, before aBell-Everett Club in Phila-
delphia, in which he undertookto encourage
his listeners by promising that Mississippi
would go for Bell and Everett by several
thousand votes-prOUided, The Douglas or
gdRizdtiOn should be kept up until tie cleo
ton. Let every Democrat-ii, indeed, there
be any such-who thinks of voting for
Douglas, 'put that in his pipe and smoke it"
and, if he be man, who prefers to do things
in an open and direct manner, let him, il he
cannot support Breckenridge, go over to Bell
at once, aud not "make a judy of himself"
by committing Belleverettism in the second
degree. y

Aurora was beautiful, quite unusual for July /;

chile manner for which he is remarkable, the
questions at issue between the political par

Mr.. Lamar sustained his high reputation.

to vote for Breckenridge and Lane. If Mr..
