ADMIRATION.

,ery rightthinking workingman, a,
employer and the community a
icluded, will agree with us thai
u plan could be adopted whereby
difficulties occurring SO frequently
between the operators and their work
men could be avoided, it would be q
blessing, the contamination of which
Duld be hailed with pleasure by all
Wties in the coal regions.
We cannot see much difficulty IN
adop ting some means or plan for the
purpose just named, provided both the
partiesz HectlY /. interested are willing
90 cooperate together for the desired
object. We have thought of plan,
which we will here state and then leave
llr readers to think Of it, and ifsome
me can improve on it we shall be glad
receive their suggestions, &c,
neither they be operators or working
1en. We earnestly wish that the
bubbles which have prevailed formerly
sould cease. We see that in England
icy are endeavoring TO arbitrate on
heir difiulties with a good deal of sue
cess, let us try what can be done here.
We shall not loose much by trial,
md probably may find out, if not pan
Icea, At least palliative.
Our proposition is, that a committee
Of four or six be chosen from among
the operators and the workingmen, said
committee to be equally divided be
tween both parties, who shall have the
power delegated TO them by both par
les, in the event of difficulty arising
on wages or any other matter connect
d with the mines, to meet together and
nVeBtlgate the same, and after. a
b~rsngh and fair investigation to give
decision on the case that decision
Obe accepted as final by employee and
nplNfer And should thu committee
II boable to agree, they shall ther
we &c power to call in another man
10 hhan be dsinterested in the matter
an3telce or umpire, and thus the
houity shall be arranged.
This plan we merely offer as a sugges

THE TERRIBLE CoNTLAGRArIos AND rBE LESSON.
Last Sunday evening. Chicago was visited
with one of the most terrible con HAgratioDs
which has ever afflicted a city. The finest
block in the west, containing property to the
amount of 100000 was, in the course Of a
couple Of hours laid in ruins, attended With a
trghtful loss Of hte. Those who were witnesses
OF the conhsgratOn could not help remarking
that If the Mansard Roof with which it was
covered, had been built a FIRE trap, it could
not have succeeded more admirably in its design
Unpalatable as Il is TO Chicago pride, the truth
may as well he told the whole structure was a
mere shell, sham, a whitened scpulchurc. We
happened to be in London when the celebrated
factory of Day & Martin, the backing manu-
fac turers, was destroyed BY fire, in Sept. last
Although filled with the most combustible
chemical preparations, its ravages we're stayed,
and the walls remained intact, a strange con
trast with the Chicago fraud While on this
subject we cannot help referring to the building
erected on the corner Of Quincy aud State
Streets The Potter Palmer Hotel, 70
which the cooking is to be done in the top Of
the building, structure which has the 5th.
9th, and 7th stories built Of woodland if ever
the fire king gets his clutches on them no
human power can avert the destruction Of the
block. The man who designed it is knave
the man Who sanctioned its structure is little
better. aud the public who will patrouizc It,
knowing its character, would BE- a pack Of
fools

SAVE THE PENCE AND THE PONDS WILL TAKE

which this or any other country has ever pro-

being developed in every grade of life aud IN
every State Of the Union Show US the mechan-
ic, the clerk, the workman who looks at penny

NAV not be reckoned a hale fellow well INST,

Of his own, while others are crying out about
hard times. But the reason Of such succes g
will be found in the fact that the Savings
Bank rather than the saloon receives his sur
plus earnings. His weekly or monthly pay day
finds him, book in hand, vending his steps
to the Prairie State Loan and Trust Company
Savings Bank 5 West Randolph Street, or some
equally reliao' institution. Ia the course Of
time principal and interest present goodly ac-
count on the right side Of the ledger. An in
vestment is made; rise in property follows,
and the result is that thrift is followed BY opu-

will soon save another. Try il and see.

ANFcDoTE OF BALFE, THE CoMPosER.-The
following anecdote is told of Balfe, the COM
poser, who died few days ago in London
At the first rehearsal, which took place at
Pavia, of Rossini's Nose IN EgittO, SigRor
Rolla, brother of the celebrated Alessandro
Rolla, leader of the orchestra of La Scala at
Milan, was leader of the orchestra at Pavia,
and having perez ived that Balfe was taking
upon himself to give directions, not only to
the chorus, but to the musicians, became an
noyed and discon certed at his interference.
At passage for the violin, which occurs
in the first act, Rolla said-'It was not
written for the instrument" and being
SO difficult was impossible to play;
at which Balfe exclaimed, "Rossini was
a violin player, and knew what he wrote The
passage is easy enough Shift your hand
higher up and you will do it! J" On hearing
this poor Rolla could contain himself no
longer, but bursting into torrent of passion
looked up at Balfe and exclaimed "Signor
Dottore, venite qua suonate per me, ed 10
audero cantame per vol" Learned sir, come
aud play for me and will sing for you The
challenge was at once accepted down Balfe
Jumped into the orchestra, took up a violin,
and played the disputed passage in such a
mastery manner that he was applauded by
every one present. SO deep was the impress
sion made on Rollas mind by this discom-
fiture thst he took 20 his bed and in few
weeks died.
