Morals in Chicago.

Chicago like like most other Atlantic
cities, has been overrun with prostitutes and
their supporters, since the second year Of the
war. A Chicago paper says:
"Great excitement was produced last week
among the immense number of unfortunate
women in Chicago, by the appearance of an
'order" from the Police Commissioners,
against disorderly and disreputable houses
and their female inmates.
They were requested to close their houses
within 48 hours, under certain penalties
that appear to have been misconstrued by
the class against which it was directed. The
widest CONSERVATION at once set in among
them, and great number hastily left the
city by train and steamboat. Bewildred and
confounded by the mysterious skirmishing
of the police in the neighborhood Of their
houses, others gave way to terror and
sought relief in death.
A young woman eighteen years of age,
named Anna Wallace, native Of Bridge
port, Conn, who had arrived in the city four
months ago, evidently in great distress, and
entered life of shame, in which she sue
ceeded in concealing her real name until her
death, took poison on Friday evening, and
died within few hours Another woman,
whose real name was Maggie Glynn, took
laudanum and died
On Sunday six women took hack, drove
some distance outside of the town, when
they discharged the driver and drowned
themselves in the lake. The police have as
certained that a number have left the city.
Sixty are known to have gone to St. Louis
thirty to Cincinnati; tweny-eight to Pitts
burgh and it is to be hoped that others found
refuge in their homes to lead in future bet
ter life
A family in this city lost daughter of
seventeen years of age about two months
ago. They could obtain no clue to her
whereabouts. The other night a hearse
was driven to their door, coffin was taken
out and placed in the hall, with the simple
remark: "There is your daughter" Ac-
companying the remains was the keeper Of
house of ill-fame.
These proceedings have caused immense
excitement in Chicago, and double patrols
have been placed in a number Of streets. 1t
is regarded as singular that, as yet, the po-
lice have made no descent upon the male ras-
cality of Chicago.

SIGNs.-IFs good sign to see a man do
ing an act of charity to his fellows; it's
bad sign to hear him boasting of it. It's
good sign to see the color Of health in mans
face; it's a bad sign to see it all in his nose.
It's good sign to see an honest man wear
ing old clothes; it's bad sign to see them
filing holes in his windows. It's good
sign to see a woman dressed with taste and
neatness; its a bad sign to see her husband
sued for feathers and foolery, gems and jew
elry. It's good sign to see woman have
bloom in her cheeks; its bad sign to see it
painted there It's a good sign to see a man
advertise in the papers; its a bad sign to
see the Sheriff doing it for him.

CHOW are you off for soap?" The miners
in California, some Of them have given up
digging gold, and are after new mineral.
1t is authoritatively asserted that a verita-
Bile soap-mine has been discovered in Esmer-
elda, California The vein is ten feet wide,
six hundred feet long, and runs very deep.
The soap, when taken from the mine, is as
soft as putty, but hardens on exposure to
the air.

It is noticed as a remarkable feature Of trade
Just now, that an active demand exists in the
East for sugar for the New Orleans market. Be-
fore the rebellion this would have been looked
upon as carrying Goals to New Castle;' but as it
is, the destruction of the sugar plantations in
that region makes it a buyer instead of seller.

CHATS WHATs THE MATTER. "A Young
Mems Club is being organized in Marysville, and
according to its Constitution it is to furnish each
member, as soon as married, with complete set
of bedroom furniture. A friend Of ours, says
the Napa Reporter, says he was speaking Of this
association to young lady in Napa, when she,
signing, said, 81 do wish the young men here
get up one of the clubs; maybe some of them
would be induced to get married" After study
ing over the matter we have come to the conclu-
sion that "thats what's the matter" with the
young men in Napa-they haven'tmoney enough
to buy a bed l-MargsgiMe appeal.
