time We again secured our old seats,
and in due time found ourselves al the

fore the short hours commenced our
attention was attracted by a large
crowd in front Of the fremont House,

+ When Sol arose from his watery bed
the next morning he found us snugly
cnsconscd in the arms Of Morpheus
and from whose loving embrace We
were in no haste to tear ourselves.
Our second day was commenced by &
visit to what is said to be the largest
Depot in the world, the Illinois Cen.
trial, situated at the foot Of Lake street
and extending across Lake and two
entire blocks. 1t is built ofbrown ston,
and is truly a noble building. From
this We went down to the 4ake shor,
and to the tower Of a large Grain Ele
yator near. From this we had an ex
cellent view Of the lake for milei
around. We next wendell our way t,
Woods Museum. As we entered ",
saw over a door ut our right, the natiy,
Happy Family. AS it is such a rarit.
10 find anything answering this dcs
cription nowadays, we AZ once mad
for the passage determined to see thi
fortunate group if possible. Descend
+ one fight Of stairs, We find, to our dis
appointment that the Happy Family d
not belong to the human race, but +
the animal. Directly in front Of u
stands two white oxen, which, on in
quiry, we find to be twins, two year
old and weighing respectively 1886 an,
4,165 lbs. Around the room wer
, scattered birds, fishes, and animals &
various kinds, but the company VIII.

feet and 5 feet high and contained /
different kinds OF animals, the larges
Of which was a fawn and the smaller
mink. They were full Of play an
seemed TO enjoy themselves just as We
as though they had all belonged to tn
same specia- Truly this was a happ
family.
