oUR CHICAGO LETTER.
From our own Correspondent

One of the FIRST fruits of the suffrage
convention and the agitation of the ques-
ton of woman's rights, is the admission
of female type-setters to all the privileges
of the Chicago Typographical Union, II
has been generally conceded that women
could "stick" type just as well as mer
and no one can advance good reason
why they should not be as literally paid.
The avenues of employment open to
women have been very limited, and those
girls and women who have to support
themselves were forced to take such wa.
ges as they could obtain. The Chicago
Printers have boldly asserted that the
two sexes shall hereafter stand on an
equal foo.ing, as far as they can contro
the trade. This is only one step, but II
forshadows what lies in store for the per
severing woman. s
What is Chicago coming to? is the
most pertinent question now asked by the
citizens of this city. The plentiful sup
ply of murders has now been supplimen
ted with some infamous acts Of medl'
cal gentleman of the scalawag spe'
cies. The whole community was startlo
yesterday by the revelations made before
a justice by the former wife of this human
demon. She testifs that he produced
abortion in several cases and destroyed
the infants. The trial is unfinished, but
enough is known to stamp the man as a
contemplate, villainous wretch.
While this subject is before me | wish
to give an opinion on the representatives
of the medical profession in this city.
There are many ACKNOWLEDGMENT mer
who are credit to themselves and the
city, but there is whole herd of spccl
alists and others who are running, ur
large accounts to be paid hereafter. Mon

and it does not take large amount II
most cases.
There is a reverend gentleman on tria
here for improper conduct in his minis.
terial Office. He is from GAINESVILLE and
has held a ministerial position in the
Universalist Church. Not being posted
in the internal economy Of the church
am unable to detail the manner of trial
but there is a commission Of some kinc
appointed, to which he is amenable.
There is one class of men who call fol-
the commiseration of all good citizens
I refer to the coal dealers. The whole
winter has been so mild that the sales O.
fuel were unusually light. This is crafty
ing when we look at the state of the
weather in the neighboring Dominion
The latest kilograms received here say
that the old city of Quebec is blessed
with full eight feet Of snow.
The popular Warrell sisters Of New
York, are playing their fist Chicago en-
gagement at McVicker's. 8. There are
three of these young ladies all equally
prominent in the pieces they present
They have earned an envia5le reputation
as managers and actresses in New York
and therefore started under favorable
auspices in the West. In Opera Boufft
and burlesoues of all description they
have few equals and no superiors. a
week from Saturday closes their engage
ment.
The mass meeting in Farwell Hall las
night was in Que sense 4 failure, but II
anoeher partially a success. There were
so many opinions as to what should b

committee was appointed however, to op
pose the passage of the bill now before
