Life In Chicago tends to level mans

past. The fact Is, that the family relations are
80 unsettled in that prosperous and progress
slve city that people have no time to assort
their kinship with the various ascendants,

There is at present on exhibition in New
York novel and very interesting work ofart,
for such 1t may well be called. This is an ex-
act model, executed in zinc, Of the City OF
Paris as it appeared before German shells and
Communist vandalism despoiled 1t OF so much
of Its beauty aud attractiveness. The model
covers 400 square feet, and is marvellously ac-
curate, geographically, showing the exact
location and proportionate height of the Buttes
Montmartre and ;other points that have so re-
Gently become Of historical interest, or had
added to what interest they formerly possess
ed, BIZ The fell doings of the exploded ~ Com
mime. All the monuments and public build
inss are reproduced with fidelity that causes
them to be instantly recognized; welEknoWn
resorts and popular places of amusement bring
forth the sudden ejaculation of many an ''ah J"
from the heholder, and altogether the model Is
an exact reproduction and perfect Paris, as
we used to know 1t, In miniature.

struction at Nashville, under the direction OF
President Morgan and Mr.. Prior, the engin.
Ger, which will, when completed, run 1900
spindles, that may be increased to $4,000, for
which the building has been designed. Some
of the machinery has been imported from well
known English firms, who make that kind of
work specially, and part of 1t comes from
the Saco machine shop, at Biddeford, Maine,
while the looms, which will number between
three and four hundred, each with capacity
osfrom i(ty to flty-ive yards of cloth per
diem, are all manufactured upon improved
principles by the Lowell Machine Company OF
Massachusetts. 1t is expected that the factory
will be sufficiently near its final completion in
the coming fall to permit of operations being
commenced, and seventy sets of cards have
been already received, Of which twenty are
now clothed and fitted, ready for the cotton.
When all the spindles are running, as contem-
plated, the factory will give occupation to
about six hundred machinists and operatives.
"A New York letter, of Tuesday, says:
'sThe Tanmany leaders, 1t is understood, have
concluded TO refrain from active political
movements, with reference to the Presidency,
until the summer Is over. They had resolved
to have demonstration In Union Square to
endorse the new departure of the Western
brethren. and Friday next was the day ap-
pointed. but owing to the absence Of so many
prominent Democrats in Europe, and the
speech-making necessarily Involved in cele-
brating the 4tn of July, the resolution has
been rescinded, and so from now I'LL about
the end of August the Tammany policy will
be one OF mastery inactivity Another in
teresting political fact worth mentioning is an
earnest movement, on the part of Mr.. Gree
ley's personal friends, to bring him out as
Presidential candidate. People seem to look
upon the whole thing in the light Of joke;
