OUR CHICAGO LETTER

| II III yOul OtISOllS. hcliiCG
| Monday last it has reigned with despotic
power and as national consequence has
been the prevailing topic-Our olfactories
have had trying time and most paIpa-
bly, shown due proportion of disgust
and our optics have overaowed with
| tears because of its obstinacy.
| Dust like fiend where'er tits ME.
| Bears i'll to optics dear,
| And flies regardless of our threats
| In orifce and beer
Last evening, however, Jupiter Pluvi-
Us came to OUT rescue and kindly condo
scended to sprinkle our streets and refresh
US with his ethereal fluid. We are in
deed grateful to this Olympian for giving
US chance to employ the parapluie-
The Fenians are not yet discouraged
but are actively and silently working
The Fenian Congress comprising one
hundred delegates are in this city in Sc
cret session assembled and undoubtedly
entering into the act of prospective ex-
tirpation with all the zeal their impulsive
natures are capable Of. They deem it a
holy cause aud have vowed to release the
Emerald Isle from the English yoke, to
conquer back the land of their ancestors
from under the despotic sway of power
which they universally hate. It is a
great design and subject to inconceiyable
perils. The difficulties are many and
appear almost invincible England, rich
and powerful nation. is cruel and merci-
less when she overcomes. Yet the Fe-
mans stand resolute, fear does not chill
their hearts nor doubt paralyze their
nerves. Sheathed in the panoply of their
principles and busted in the multifarious
activities of their daily employments they
solace themselves with the thought Of one
day setting their people free.
The falling of the Court House and the
vacancy of the Shrievalty are still mat
ters for gossip. Communications to the
people through the press are matters of
daily occurrence and we cannot decide
which party is right, whether in the case
of the Court House it is the fault of the
architect, builder, or the ground on which
it is built, or in the Shrievalty whether
the Coroner Cleayes is ex-ofIicio sheriff or
not.
One by one the chosen conservers of
the public conscience drop off the stage
of superyisional action. First Keamey,
then Wagner withdrew from the honored
Board of Supervisors and retire to private
Life. keamey was fond of jokes and in
situations in regard to a bay colt with
black name and tail, for this he forfeited
the illustrious name of Supervisor Pat
rick Magner' s career was cut short by the
Grand Jury by being indicted for larceny.
These and many more if they had their
deserts would fall under the same ban.
! Alas that such men should be allowed
to hold Office! it were far better we're they
allowed to remain in their own legitimate
| sphere than to disgrace the annals of our
city history with names blackened with
| crime
The ladies are not alone in their love of
display and dress. Neither are the
Openings" confined to the Millinery es-
adjustments. Gentlemen are on the or,
yirc concerning the fashions Of spring.
| Prominent amongst the recent openings
in Merchant Tailor's Establishments is
that of Messrs Brown & Mathews on
the corner of Washington street and
Wabash avenue. This is the leading
fashionable place in the city. These
gentlemen are courteous and obhging,
their work is par-excellence..in all respects:
they have ample facilities for manufac-
| turing and thorough appreciation of their
customers wants. They import their own
goods and have just received fresh i'm
portation of cloths, cassimers, yestinr
Sc. IF any one wants anything recherche
their is the place. LEON.
The Fenian Congress has adjourned
