Of valuable gifts, TO be distributed among
ticket holders, TO every one Of whom will be
| given something Of WORTH, as there are no
blanks, and every ticket draws prize. AS
may be seen BY reference to their advertise
ment in another column the highest prize is
SIS 900 in greenbacks, which most persons
of speculative turn Of mind would probably
prefer, or even one Of the smaller cash
prizes Of 5000, $4,000, 81 900, or $500

Chicago would prediSpose many with large
families in .,vor Of the two fHe residences.
Gentlemen with an eye to ''tne team"
would uaaoubtedly choose the matched

Others less aspiring would be content with
some Of the other good things on their list

ample time to enable them to make tho

Of the tickets being sold long before that

Bricklayers Of Boston and vicinity had a
meeting, last evening, at Stacy Hall, 70 dis-
cuss the question Of stopping work at i've

Mr. Smith, the Chief Of the Bureau of Yards

Reader, as the above is from the father Of
lies ii is needless to tell you 1t is false in
every respect. No one knows better than
the old scallawag himself that the union
mechanics Of Chicago allow no one to
dictate TO them, what the rate of wages shall
be or the remuneration they shall receive
for their services. That is a matter over
which they claim Jurisdiction. But be that
as it may, if there is workingman in this
city despicable enough to allow the above
sheet to cross the threshold OF bis door
shun him as you would pestilence, no
matter what excuse may be offered.
