CHICAGO Sept. le 1868.
The so-called convention of Trades
Unions on Saturday 18th inst has since
been repudiated by several of the socie
ties which it was claimed were present
and their ticket seems already to be quite
forgotten by every one. The papers even
refer to the existence of such ticket and
some OF the candidates upon it avow that
they do not themselves know that they
are in the field
There is even yet a furore of excite
ment among the billiard players over the
astonishing result of the champion game
between Dion and McDevitt on WedneS-
day evening last. Everybody knew that
McDevltt played good game but none
even his most enthusiastic hackers exe
pected HIM to make a run Of 1860 points
carrying him clear out of the game. as he
did. Poor Dion only made 4OS. The
stakes were | 200 aside and the champion

ophose of the Dntiv Recy,ti hotel and
trade paper hitherto only issued in the
business part of every year, by Mr. J. J.
w. ODonoghue who is also publisher
of the well known Banking and insurance
ChrnMtcle the best paper of its class in
the West. In it's new form 'thc record
will be enlarged re- arranged so as to hold
all the news of the day in the most con-

and ''spicy' in everything.
For little while past, Chicaso's "Sen
sations' have been rather small and not
very abundant. In fact there has been
4 lack of the emotional element. About
the best thing in this line that the mast
week has brought forth, was the item at

self Mr.. J. X. Nernon as he gentle
man in question was known, walked in
the path of the straige woman Nellie
Russell knowing not that the detectives
were there and that her paths led down
to the Armory. His wife had come in
from st Louis, heard of his tricks and
and his manners and she it was who sent
the spoilers of his peace after him. J.K.

Mont gomcry House, after he was through
his ardous duties on the little Museum
stage. The detectives looked through the
transom and doubtless were happy for

who watch o er what they want while his

Mama was incarceration of both the guilty
ones who loved not wisely and to } pul li,.ly.
in seperate cells in the Armory. By this
time they have been put under bonds for
trial on charge Of adultery, an offensc
which comes up in our Chicago courts
just about often enough to remind us
that there is a sin by that name. It is
punished still more seldom.
The finest Chromo-lithograph ever

perfect copy of the original painted by
Mrs. Oakly Of New York The original
was purchased from the artist by Mr..
Healey the eminent portrait painter of
the city, for $500 in gold and he was ac-
customed to regard it as the gem of all
his pictures. From him mainly through
the influence of personal friendship, Mr.
Froodsham obtained it and caused it to be
omo-llthographed work which was
performed by Mr.. Louis Kurz. Sixteen
stones, or successive re- eprintings in diff
erent shades were employed in the pro-
cess and the result achieved has been so
successful that except by close examina-
ton, so close as to detect the track of the
brush, the original cannot be picked out
when placed among several of the chro-
