THE LITERATURE


THE LITERATURE
is of that kind that can be read aloud in the
family circle, and the clergy in immense num-
bers are subscribers for the Book.
THE MUSIC
is all original, and would cost 25 cents uhe
price of the Book in the music stores but
most of it is copyrighted, and cannot be obta-
ined except in " Cooley
OUR STEEL ENGRAVINGS. a4a
All efforts to rival us in this have ceased. aud
we now stand alone in this department, giving,
as we do, many more and infinitely better en-
cravings than are published in any other work
IMMENSE DOUBLE SHEET FASHION PLATES.
CONTAINING
From. fire to secen full length Colored Fashions on
each plate. Other magazines giue only tro.
FAR AHEAD OF ANY FASHIONS IN EUROPE on
AMERICA.
Godey's is the only work in the world that
gives these immense plates, and they are such s
as to have excited the wonder of publishers and
the public. The publication of these plates
cost
$4,000 MORE
than Fashion plates of the old style, and moth
ing but our wonderfully large circulation en-
ables us to give them. Other magazines can
not afford it. We never spare money when the
public can be benefited.
These fashions may be relied on. Dresses
may be made after them, and the wearer will
not subject herself to ridicule, as would be the :
case if she visited the large cities dressed after
the style of the plates given in some of our SO
called fashion magazines.
OUR WOOD ENGRAVINGS, ..-H

improvements.

After respite OF three years, during
which we have been able to chronicle the
erection o. very few indeed new buildings
Of any sort in this city beyond small
dwellings, it is quite relief, and full o1
encouragement, to be able to note sub
stantial revival in the way Of erecting ne"
buildings this season.
Mr. JOSEPH MEYER, on La Sale street
south of Main, has just put up very
handsome three story, 20 it. front by some
40 to 60 deep. The front is being finished
in style Of great neatness, SO that the
building will really be an ornament TO
that part of the city, as well as a credit to
the taste and enterprise of the owner
Messrs KING j. Hamilton have put up a
new building on Main street, few doors
ives. of their present locality in Armour 5
block The building is of wood, stories,
90 feet front by 50 deep. The structure
is designated TO be only temporary, on
| account of the difficulty of procuring
| brick in season to have it done by the
time they propose to occupy it. The ul-
innate design is to occupy the ground
with three or four story brick structure.
They are. however, finishing up the front
! with great neatness, so that the building
| will add to appearances in that quarter.
Within a month, probably, they will re-
move their extensive hardware and tin
establishment to the new building.
Mr. JEREMIAH W ooD Is making extensive
improvements and additions to the Eagle
Mills. A story and a wing have been ad-
ded to the main building, SO that it is now
four stories high, and as roomy as any mil!
in the city. But this outward addition is
really but small part of the improv ement
he is making in that quarter The machi-
merry of the mill has all been reconstructed
and renewsd to double its former capacity.
New stones, new bolts, new cleaners, in
deed everything nearly is new and of the
latest and most approved patterns, When
completed, which will take a month or
two yet, the Eagle Mill will be the most
perfect institution Of that sor. in this re.
gion The whole building will then be
occupied by the mill alone. That part of
it now devoted to the mar ufacture of az
ricultural implements is to be removed,
and the extensive machinery IN that wing
is for sale.
Mr.. JONI MANLY is erecting a very hand
some brick residence on the East sioe of
Fox River, which, when completed, will
be the finest structure of that sort, except
perhaps one other, in Ottawa. 1t is yet
too early to speek of the architectural
design, ground plan and dimensions Of this
building. but a man with half an eye can
see, from the progress already made, that
1t will be structure of which our city will
have abundant occasion to be proud.
To be continued.

SUICIDE.-A man named Harrison Nc
| about noon, in the daguerrean car standing
on the north end of the Court House
square in this city. A farmer from the
town of Norway, named AustiH Hyer, with
some ladies, had stepped into the car
to have some pictures taken. McClana
chan commenced by taking that of a
child FIVE or six years old, and after three
or four attempts met with but Indifferent
success. He then essayed to take the
picture of young lady, in which he made
two failures Stepping behind the screen
at the end of the second failure to finish
the picture, as Mr.. Hyer supposed, he re-
appeared in some ten minutes. saying he
had taken his last picture, and that he
had taken deadly poison, from the effects
of which no doctor could save him, nor
did he wish to be saved, if it were possible.
Mr.. Hyer at once left the car and gave
the alarm; and in a few minutes several
physicians with a crowd of citizens were
in the car, but it was too late. The man
had swallowed cyanide of potassium, and
died in ten minutes.
McClanachan was a single man, about
80 years of age. He was a relative of, and
came to this country in 1876 from New
York, with Bronson Murray. Esq, with
whom he lived until lS49, when he went
to California with Green's company. He
seems to have met with little success
there, and a few years ago returned to
Illinois. He was of moody temperament,
easily discouraged, and succeeded poorly
in nearly anythin: he undertook Having
followed the daguerrean business for
some time, he was out of sorts" on
account of his continued i'll success in that
business, and finally in fit Of extreme
depression ended his earthly trouble. as
above described. His body was taken
charge of, and yesterday buried by Tho NJ.
Mason, Esq, distant relative. He was a
native of Germantown, Pa, but most of
his relatives live in New York city, and
are wealthy.

The MADISON ST BRIDGE-We are graft
fed to note the rapid,y with which the
work on this most needed improvement
= being driven, aud in a week or two hope
to be able TO chronicle ITS completion.
There has been a good deal of street
talk, and little newspaper grumbiing,
about the letting of the contract for the
bridge, but on inquiring into the facts, we
can find no just ground for complaint
against either the City Council or the con-
tractors 1t appears the Council invited
plans, specifications, and bids Two firms
presented specifications &c, embracing
plans for different kinds of bridges, at
prices varying from $500 to $500 The
Council, after exa.ni'.ing all Of them, voted
to Adopt plan presented by the Colwells s.
at $500 We believe there is no dispute
but their plan is good one. and that the
contractors are unexceptionable men,
The only question for dispute is, whether
cheaper and inferior bridge would no,
have answered the purpose. Reduced to
so narrow a point, the discussion is hardly
worth pursuing.

1t is asserted by correspondent of the
st. Louis Democrat that a regular express
to the rebel States runs from Southern Illi-
noie, by way of Cave-in-the. Rock, and va
riOus towns in North western Kentucky.
''The traitors in Southern Illinois" says this
correspondent, "are not all dead or sleeping
by any means" -Why," said a Federal
scout to me, over three weeks since, "that
country is full of them" This same scout
had at that time discovered the modus oper-
Gndiof contraband trade, the principal haunts

it altogether. 1t seems fully time, when

II is said that General Jim Lane is actively
making preparations for his campaign in the
South West. It is understood that the
Administration will not embarrass him in
his plans of its conduct according to his own
peculiar ideas. He intends that the whole
of the work about camp, or that may be made
necessary In his preparations, shall be per-
formed by contrabands." Every mess will
have one to do its cooking. General Lane
asks nothing in the way of subsistence or
means of transportation. These will be
drawn from the country in which he shall
operate. A supply of coffee-mills, and mills
for grinding corn, and the necessary arms
and equipments, are all that he requires
from Government. He already has, it is
said, company Of colored men under drill
and in his progress southwsrd he will no
hesitate to turn against the rebels whateve
epginery he finds most effective. The Gen
ersl is no "emancipationist," but he is a firm
believer in the obligation to suppress th'
rebellion at whatever cost to the rebels, an(
with as little as possible to loyal citizens
Some days ago Lane made application 70

Instead of postponiDg his further preparation

The Cabinet.

Since the retirement of Secretary Cam
eron it SO announced that other changes in
the Cabinet are expected. 1t is thought
Postmaster Ger eral Blair will be superseded,
and that Hon. G. B. Smith, who seeks a seat
on the Supreme Court Bench, will leave the
Interior Department, An entire reconstruc-
tion of the Cabinet is urged by some.
Since writing the above, the telegraph
announces that Washington is full of rumors
of changes in the Cabinet. 1t is said that
should Postmaster Blair go out, Hon. Schuy
Ter Oolfax, member of Congress from Indi-
ana, will take his place. 1t will be remem-
bered that Mr.. c. was strongly pressed for
that position about the time Mr.. Lincon's
Cabinet was formed. His appointment
would give great satisfaction. "Honest Joe
Holt" of Kentucky, is mentioned as likely
to be called to the Cabinet should there be
further change.
