The following. we clip from the Chicago
Euening Journal Of April 28th
When hundreds are investing in Gift
Concerts every day, and thousands Of others
are intending to do SO, word about their
respective claims may he Of some import
ance We advise all our readers to govern
themselves by the following facts:
LIST. The National Gift Concert is the
only one owned and controlled by party
of established business reputation and abil-
ity. Martin O'Brien, the proprietor, car
ries on large legitimate wholesale and
retail business apart from this enterprise
and of ten times more value. Indeed, the
concert is used by him merely TO advertise
his regular business, and not as means Of
making money. On this account he is able
to give in prizes the money that the pro-
prietors Of other concerts must retain for
their own profits.
I'd. Mr.. O'Brien is the only party who is
vitality interested in making the drawing
and distribution of gifts fair and honest.
His success in using it for en- advertising
medium, and indeed his entire future bust
ness depends upon making his concert salts
factory to every ticket holder. His past
experience in these matters is the best
guaranty for the future. OF the three gift
enterprises already carried through by him,
we have never heard a word of dissatisfac-
ton. In every instance the prizes were
ready for delivery before the drawing, and
were all drawn and all delivered as fast as
called for And he is the only one who has
never postponed the time of drawing.
Sd. Mr.. O'Brien is the only proprietor of
the gift concerts who gives full list of his
prizes completely numbered, and who gives
a full and satisfactory explanation of the
manner in which the prizes will be drawn
and delivered This he does IN neatly
5ound book which, besides this, contains
many valuable statistics, and as sent free Of
charge aoith euery ticket
4th. Mr. O'Brien's concert offers better
inducements than any other concert or gift
enterprise in existence.
It gives larger proportion of its prizes
in money than any other.
1t is the only ore that gives its ticket
holders the privilege of exchanging their
prizes for other goods
1t is the only one whose small prizes are
not made up of cheap jewelry or other
worthless articles.
tits the only one that is extensively pat
ronized by the citizens of Chicago.
9Th If you are not satisfied Of these
faots, and that O'Brien's is the place to buy
tickets, we would suggest that you send
your money TO some friend, or to any relia-
bic merchant, banker or editor in Chicago,
with instructions to invest in the most relia-
BILE enc without naming any. In ninety
nine cases in g hundred they will buy at
oDriens.
9Th. There is no danger of losing money
in sending by mail. Address plainly, NJ.
O'Brian, 122 Dearborn Street, Chicago, and
You will receive tickets and book by return
mail
Read the advertisement on the third
page.
Remember the drawing takes place May
3Ist, and the tickets are nearly all sold
already.

Prof Albert Nobel Of Germany, the man
ufacturer and inventor of nitro -glycerine. is
in New York. He regrets profoundly the
accidents which have resulted from its trans
portation, but still insists that it is impossi-
bic for his oil 10 ignite under o temperature
of $50 degrees. He says The authorities Of
Hamburg entertained the same objections
sgainsti its use originally, but, after scientific
experiments, now consider ii safer and more
convenient than gunpowder He proposes
10 give, in few days, experiments to show
It's effectiveness, and harmlessless in transit.
He calls attention to the fact that the explo-
sion al Aspinwan was preceded by fire.
The coroner's jury, in the case Of the re-
cent fatal nitro glycerine explosion in San
Francisco, express the opinion that the ship
per of that destructive material is guilty of
man-slaughter.
Mayor Hoffman Of New York has ordered
all nitro-glycerine 10 be stored in vessels
filed with water.
Three more persons died in San Francisco
on the 18th. from the effects of the nitro
glyeerine explosion, making in all nineteen
deaths.
On the 18Th, some miners, near Colfax,
Cal, were blasting a rock with nitro -glycer-
inc. The compound premsturely exploded,

On ImmOrtaIIZing the Rebel
Dead.

/. Mr.. Raymond of New York, deliv-
cred a speech in Congress, in which
he used the language in the first par.
agrapb below. Mr.. Stevens, of Penn
sylvania, in a Speech quoted 1T and
made the remarks following, about
the policy of deifying the rebel dead
along side with the Unicn martyrs /:
"The gigantic contest is at an end.
The courage and devotion on either
side, which made it so terrible and so
long, no longer owe a divided duty,
but have become the common prop.
erty OF the American name, the price
less possession of the American Re-
public, through all time to come
The dead of the c%ontending hosts
sleep beneath the soil of a common
country, under their common flag
Their hostilities are hushed, ard they
are the dead of the nation forever
more"
Sir, much more than amiable, much
more than religious. must be the SEN
timent that would prompt any man
to say that "tbe courage and devo-
ton" which so long witbstood our
arms, prolonging the terrible conflict
of war, and sacrificing the lives of
thousands of our loyal men, are here
after to be the common boast of the
nation, ache priceless possession of the
American Republic through all time
to come )" that is the pride of our
country, so many infamous rebels
were so ferocious in their murders.
Sir, we are to consider these dead
on both sides, as the dead of the nation,
the common dead! And SO 1 suppose
we are to raise monuments to them
beside the monuments to our glorious
Reynolds and others to be erected in

They are, l suppose, to be raised and

through all time "the dead Of the na-
tion !" Sir, Uds there ever Hasphemy
before like hiS!?. He who burned the
temple at Ephesus blasphemed! He
whe initiated the thunder of Jove
blasphemed! and is now suffering his
punishment below. But all this was
tame and poor compared with the
blasphemy of the gentleman from
New York. If the loyal dead are
thus associated with the traitors who
murdered them-put By the gentleman
on the same footing with them, and
with them to be treated as "the COM
nor dead Of the nation,"-I say, sir,
