The following description of Chicago is
taken from an old Springfield directory
for 1923.
Chicago is a village in Pike county, sit
uated on Lake Michigan. at the mouth of
Chicago Creek. Tt contains twelve or
fifteen houses, and sixty or seventy inhab'
itants. The country around Chicago is
the most fertile and beautiful that can be
imagined. It consists of an intermixture
Of woods and prairie, diversified by gentle
slopes 1t is already the seat of several
fourishing plantations, and only requires
the extinCuishment of the Indian title to
the lands to become one Of the most at
tractive fields for the emigrant. To the
ordinary advantages of an agricultural
market town. it must hereafter add that Of
depot for inland commerce between the
Northern and Southern sections Of the
Union, and great thoroughfare for stran-
gers, merchants, and travellers. 1t is
feared however. that the construction of a
good harbor will be attended with much
and expense.

death brought out particulars that are
easily anticipated. The man who so very
closely resembled me at v had seduc>
ed the betrothed Of laborer, one Theo-
dore Vertot. This Theodore, reckless now
of life, and resolutely bent on vengeance,
swore to kill her seducer. Mistaking me
for his enemy, he attempted to shoot me.
This failing, he hung about the hotel,
armed with a stiletto, determined to stab
me whenever should appear in the street.
Hearing, however, that l was about leav-
ing for Paris, he perceived better and
safer means of prosecuting his design, by
stabbing me in the tunnel through which
he knew we would pass, and then eseap-
ing in the darkness. Reflection had
obviously taught him that revenge would
be none the less sweet because it did not
entail his destruction by the law.
Such is the simple but tragical story.
My prototype, who had been the means of
twice imperiling my life, | have never
seen since. | confess to no wish to see
him. 1t is bad enough to have to bear the
brunt of ones own follies it is altogether
miserable to suffer for the follies of others.
Ever since the occurrence of this small
episode, have always thought there is a
much wiser providence manifested in the
between man and pan than

Wall Street.

wan ctACCVs
A New York dispatch to the Chicago
Times, dated the 10th inst, draws the fol-
lowing thrilling picture Of the times that
are apprehended in Wall street:
The air is full Of rumors in regard to
coming difficulties in Wall street. The
extraordinary frauds of the past week, the
unsettled condition of financial prsspects
n Washington, the collapse of the paper
money and stock exchange bubbles, al
have combined to make the banks and
money lenders extremely careful Of their
collaterals for loans. Nobody wants Sc.
curitles in Wal street to-day; all want
meney. If the funding bill becomes law,
financiers fear violent contraction of the
greenback currency, and a disastrous fin
ancial and commercial panic. The weekly
bank statement shows bank expansion in
the face of decrease in specie, legal ten
ders and deposits. The bank loans show
an in, Grease of 81 ,S63,O79 in the face of q
decrease of s527 ,5s4 in legal tenders and
81, 1884, 1888 in specie, making the total loss
in what the banks call their legal reserve
1911, 900. During the coming three weeks
there will be wide fluctuations in gold and
stocks, aud it is felt all around that some
enormous blow will be struck which will
fall heavily in a quarter least anticipated.
The week opens in the midst of general
want of confidence, with the air full of
rumors of coming disaster.
ORIGIN OF BoTTLED BEER. Ale houses
we're first licensed in the reign Of King
Charles II. The origin of bottled beer is
thus quantity recorded by Fuller: "Dean
Newall, of St. Paul's, in the reign of
Queen Mary, was an excellent angler.
But while Newall was catching Of fishes,
Bishop Bonner was bent on catching New
all /; aud would certainly have sent him to
the shambles, bad not a good London
merchant conveyed him away across the
seas. Newall was fishing on the banks
of the Thames when he received the first
intimation of his danger. which was so
pressing that he dared not go back to his
own house 10 make preparations for his
fight. Like an honest angler he had ta-
ken provisions for the day; and when in
the first year of England's deliverance,
he returned to his own country and to his
old haunts, he remembered that on the
day of his fight he had left bottle of
beer in safe place on the banks of the
stream in which he had fshed. There he
looked for it, and found no bottle bat a
gun for such was the sound emitted at
the opening thereof, and this is supposed
to be the origin Of bottled beer"

Hogs Want sui phur.

Whether hogs require sulphur sa an
essential to their health, or whether it is
sought by them as condiment, may not
be known for certainty. But one thing is
sure, they devour it with greed whenever
it is to be found. 1t is for this purpose,
probably, teat they eat large quantities of
soft coal, which contains large amount
of sulphur. Perhaps this is the most
economical method Of supplying hegs,
with sulphur during the winter, when
they require good deal of carbon. But
in the summer it is better to feed it to
them in substances which contain less
carbon, on account Of their producing
less heat. Mustard is one of the best
things for this purpose, and on that ac-
count some of it should be sown in every
pasture into which hogs are turned. If
hogs are kept up, or are in small yards, it
is well to supply them with the wild
mustard that grows in the fields or highs
ways, or to cultivate some of the better
varieties for them. They will eat its
leaves, flowers, seeds, and stocks.

exhibited symptoms of hydrophobia. Upon
the strength Of these, tho boys parents
have sued the dogs owner. seeking to re.
cover the neat sum of $4,000. But this is
not all. The dogs owner and the afflicted
parents belong to the same church and
the whole subject has been transformed in.
to an ecclesiastical dispute. Good gracious

In the town of l. lived an old fel.
low who was known as drinking,
swearing old reprobate-and, some said,
given to stealing occasionally. During
the course of 'revival" in the vicinity,
"Old Joe" made professions of religion,
and was to be baptized. "Old Joe" hav-
ing expressed his preference for simmer
sion" instead of sprinkling, the ceremony
took place at a convenient spot near an
old saw.mill. While the congregation
were waiting expectant, an old Dutchman
was observed to Chamber up hastily among
the timbers Of the old mill. The ceremo-
ny proceeded with due solemnity till just
as the minister and convert were leaving
the water, when voice called out, far
above the crowd: ".Souse him again,
Elder! souse him again! he's dirty dog!'
Having spoken, the Dutchman scrambled
down and disappeared.-E1ch.

Seventeen Year Rarities.

seventeen lear h6r1tleSs
A daily paper tells US that an ice-house,
some where in Massachusetts,, contains
quantity of the solid luxury packed in it
seventeen years ago. We have heard that
story before. That seventeen year ice is
something like the ''seyenteen year To-
GUSTS we read so much about in the
newspapers, but never seen. We have half
a century's experience for our enlighten-
ment, and we have never seen those
locusts except in the journals. That's the
only place in which we ever expect to find
seventeen year old ice. If it were seven
teen year old hook, claret, sherry, or even
ale, the case would be altered. We have
encountered, now and then, aged marvels
of that sort, and we are not ashamed to
add that our lips paid, at every eligible
opportunity, proper homage to such ven
cradle acquaintances. But that was in
days gone by. In some part of Africa
old people are always put to death as
useless encumbrances. IF a similar de-
sire to set rid of old things in the shade
of ales, wines, &c., in this country has
not extensively prevailed, it might easily
be supposed to have prevailed for any
thing extremely Juvenile it would be
difficult to find amongst US now in the
liquid shape alluded to and hence it is
easy to imagine that all the old liquors
have been driven out by the ''unco' guild"
temperance folk, and throttled, j. e. pour
ed down dainty throats to get rid Of them
Seriously speaking, ice is luxury
which may possibly be kept for seventeen
years unused by the cold water throated
people of Massachusetts,, for summer in
the Bay State is a season neither very
long nor excessively fervid hut it would
never keep here over one year unless cob
blers had seen their ''last'' idolater Aoor'
ed, juleps had risen in cost until "mint''
of money could not purchase them, and
"smashes'' and "bosrbon sours" had gone
out to Alaska with Secretary Seward and
) forgotten to return with that distinguished
gentleman. No; we'll never believe that
ice seventeen years old lies perlu in any
Yankee storehouse, while that indispensi.
BILE article threatens to bring, this summer,
shilling pound-more or less-in the
New York market. We should incline to
suspect that it is not the seventeen yea,
ice, hut some faithless journalist that lie,
all this time in Massachusetts,
