WAsHINGruN HALL, LAST EVENING =
This Exhibition, which opened at Wash
ington Hall last evening, is one OF the
finest things it has ever been onr1 lot 70
witness It is got up on scale OF mag
nificence aud splendor we have never
seen equallel. Commencing with q pic
ture of the gstheringeof the angels
around the Almighty's throne to hear q
new decree, it illustrates Milton's imm9rT
tai poem,of Paradise, Lost, from Begin
ming to end. The scenes representing
heaven, the war OF the angels, and the
casting out of heaven of Satan and his
hosts, are perfectly sublime- The scenes
representing the creation are gotten up
in a style and manner different from any
thing we have everseen We would call
attention to the beautiful sunrise upon
the young earth for the first time. The
moonrise and the creation of fowls, fishes,
and insects, and finally the creation OF
animals, and man, are all pictures worthy
the study of an artist. The next fifteen
scenes represent He'll and the pas
sage of Satan through Chaos to
this earth. They are of immense power,
and convey to the mind an awful and
impressive idea of the Internal regions
below The last section, which repre-
sents the garden of Eden, and Adam and
Eve, clothed in naked majesty divine"
is beyond description the best thing we
have ever witnessed. In fact, the whole
exhibition is one of marked excellence,
and should be seen by all We doubt
whether Washington Hall will hold all
the people who will endeavor to gain en-
trance this evening. Go early, if yon
wish for seat.
An entertainment will be, given this
afternoon at three o'clock. Parents will
do well to have their little ones attend
this chaste, attractive and pleasing exhi-
bition, and have impressed upon their
Youthful minds the solemn and sublime
truths of mans disobedience and fall,
and Gods omnipotence.

WE see that Messrs. Euston & Story
have removed their brewing establish
ment from Ritchietown to the south side
of the new four-story brick building re-
Gently erected by Messrs. M. & j. Pollock,
on the corner of Market and Quincy
streets. Here the enterprising firm have
fitted up their stablishment'with all the
modern improvements. and they are now
manufacturing their superior ales, aud
filling orders with their usual prompt
ness. The building they now occupy is
very large and commodious, and being
centrally located will add much to their
brewing facilities. Progress and i'm
provement seem to be the order of the
day from one end of the city to the other.

WESTERN CATTLE.-The Chicago cat
tie market may be regarded as one OF the
fountains from which our market is fed.
Its prices have or should have early in
fluence here. We notice that the receipts
of beef cattle there, for the week ending
the 9Th, are stated to have been ,O75 head
more than the week previous, and 2,9Ol
more than the week before that The
prices we're weak and depressed, and the
demand, which was chiefly for Govern
ment use, was limited by want OF sufn-
Gent transportation. The market de-
clined from fifty cents to one dollar per
hundred pounds, and this though the
cattle were unusually good. The week
before first quality of beef sold at ~ 25a
900. The same article ranged as high as
30 so the last week. Second quality fell
from SO to 81; third from 81 to IS SO, and
"scallawags'' from $5a2 SO. These facts
seem to show that, at least temporarily,
there will be a fall in the expense OF ilV-
ing alb soon as the army is disbsnded and
affairs revert to their natural condition
"a not nnwelcome change.

DR.. G. W. ROBACK--!Sir: Your Blood Pur
fer and Pills sell better here than any other
medicines could keep. They are just the med
icine for the people, peculiarly adapted for the
cure of Fever and Ague but the people use them
as general medicine.
To break an attack of the Ague take table
spoonful of the Blood Purifier every hour, and
then cleanse the stomach and bowels well with
your Pills, n three days the complaint will
be removed and permanent cure effected,
A who try this treatment before applying to a
physician will be saved much cost and suffering.

the largest that are used, the wearers

valuable than the circles that should sur

that were it possible to make it of spun
diamonds or woven pearls, it wonld yet
be far superior in itself to the materials
of which it should be wrought.

THE FENIAN BALL.

The Fenian ball, to come off at Scheers Hall
on Tuesday evening next, promises to be the
great affair of the season. From the names OF
the lady managers, no doubt need be enter
tanned that the ball will be one of the most
recherche of the year. Mrs. Cream is Lady
Directress'' of Cairo, and she with Miss Ella Nc
Donough, Miss Maggie O'Callahan and Miss
Mary O Council, assisted by numerous other
Irish ladies of our city, are interchangeable in
their exertions to render the occasion a trium
plant success. Bunker Hill monument was
erected through the efforts of American ladies.
Other famous enterprises owe their existence
to the exertions and influence of women, and
we feel assured that when the Irish ladies of a
place resolve to consummate a commendable
purpose they will succeed In their lexicon
there is no such word as ''fail''
Miss Ellen O. Mahony, OF Chicago, lady di!
rectress of the West, sends her greetings to the
Cairo Fenians, and expresses her interest in the
success Of the coming ball
The receipts of the last fair of the Fenian
ladies' of Cairo, amounted 81 300, from whic b
they Melted 5000 This handsome sum has
been duly acknowledged by the recipients at
Chicago.
We really hope to see q large crowd at
Scheels Hall Tuesday eyening-not alone of
Irish but Americans ard those of other nation
allties. Let our people demonstrate their o.
tentation of hypocritcal, tyrannical England,
and sympathy for the Celtic race.

EXTENSIVE FIRE.

THE EFFICIENCY OF THE FIRE DE-
PARTMENT.
Origin of the Fire.

Last evening about half-past nine o'clock,
the bells rung out the alarm of fire, ard in
moment thereafter the flames as they reached
up from the coutlagration appeared to lick
the clouds, plainly indicating to our populace
where the fire was. The large livery stable,
corner of Tenth street and Commercial Az
enue, owned by Perry Powers, was in flames.
Passing people rushed into the building and
cutting the horses loose from their stalls liber-
ated and drove them from the scene. The
buggies, harness, saddles, &C., were all saved,
but the building was totally destroyed.
Loss about $1,000; insured for So, 900 in the
Illinois Mutual Insurance Company.
| The flames from the stable crossed 10th
street and communicated with Shines Hall,
and speedily consumed it, not however, be
| fore the contents were saved. No insurance.
The adjoining building, owned and occupied
by r. G.. Jamison, was, to the establishment
all, saved from the devouring element, not
however, until the roof was burnt to a cinder
South, the flames ignited the shingles of thu
roof of the dwelling and carpenter shop OF w
c. James, but they, too, were preserved, bu
sustained considerable damage. Insured TO
ST, 800 in the Illinois Central Insurance Com
pany, which will fully cover the loss sustained
The FIRE companies worked with commenda
BILE vigor and efficiency. and we feel impellet
to say that, were it not for the services of tn
Arab Fire Company, the ravages Of the dc
vouring element would not have been stage
until the Perry House. on the South, and ]un
Der yard, on the North, had been destroyed
The other companies worked as faithful an
energetically as the Arab, but steam will tie
above muscle. .....
Various rumors are afloat as to the origin
the fire, but we were unable to trace it to
positive source. The general report how
ever, was that hostler dropped cand
amongst some trunks and was unable to extil
/ guish it.
