The CLic0go PAPERS, =

The Chicago Papers. of the
most remarkable Phoenix-lile performances
of the age is that shown by the revival OF
the Chicago papers so soon after their Offices
had been destroyed. Mondays mail brought
to hand the Chicago Tribune, nearly as
large as formerly, looking thrifty and Wig
orous, and bearing evile zee of vitality and
enterprise in every column.
The Evening Journal is now issued reg
ularly on a somewhat smaller scale, bat fuil
of interesting matter. The Journal will
doubtless be enlarged to It's former size be-
fore many days.
The ever welcome Post has risen from i IS
ashes, and displays considerable life and
energy, although greatly contracted in size
Nearly all the other papers Of Chicago, suf-
fering from the fire, have made their ap
pearance in some form or other, with the
exception of the Times, which will not be
revived for several weeks

The latest thing in music, and one OF the
evidences constantly transpirlng OF the near

IS he attachment to the cabinet 0rgan-the

Woods organ 1t consists of an additional
set of reeds in separate wind chest, eX-
quisitely voiced and having the effect of
SOftenng the tone TO a sweet whisper, which
gives the very perfection of melody, and is
rightly named A)ine as an exact imitation
of the A1oline harp. In combination with
other stops, particularly the exquisite Vox
humana, of the Wood organ, it is capable Of
great and most pleasing variety of effect.
Letters from Mr.. W. Ii. Clarke, the well
known organst and musical writer, as well
as from many others, have been received

breathing which give it such well chosen
name, combinations, weird, startling and
pathetic may be produced, and then sud-

C03JseIes8 44ItJr13s.-Our city was rife
with the rnmor Sunday last that a serious
copfagration had occurred in Milwaukee,
passengers on the night train from there
seeing fire raging when starting away.
Some had the news that the city had been
fred ty incendiaries in eight places The
telegraph being down by the storm,
communication was cut off, aud contra
dictiop or confirmation of the intelligence
could not be obtained. Mondays Sentinel
came 20 our relief, bringing the following
account Of fire on Saturday night, which
doubtless gave rise TO the story of the great
couhagration.
The dense, dark clouds which yelled the
heavens on Saturday night magui(ied Il small
fire on the Kinnickjnuick into alarming pro-
portions This WAS about nine clock, and
though drizz!iu. rain was prevailing, the
streets were soon filled by multitude Of our
people hundreds hurrying after he steamers
as they Tumhjcd on 70 ths rescue.
a .ong aud urest me ran brought The de
par,meu and those in its wake TO the Kin
Hickiuujci where The slave works of Wal
ter 5 King were found IN blaze. The fire
had made great progress and when our. fire.
men reached the place the works were " hol-
| ~ envelope IN the flames and but little
could be done beyond saving stock piled up
in their vicinity.
There is no doubt that the fire was the
work OF an incendiary, who. finding the
heart Of the city TOO well guarded, chose that
distant quarter for the accomplishment Of his
oefarious design. The loss on building,
stock aud machinery is estimated at 50, 90,
on which Mr. King had an insurance Of
s. 900.

THE SINS OF THE ToNGUE.-The tongue
may be employed about and made to serve
all purposes of vice, in tempting and
deceiving, in perjury and in justice. But
the thing here referred to is talkativeness
disposition to be talking, distracted from
the consideration of what is said with
very little or no regard to, or thought Of
doing, either good or harm. And let not
any imagine this to be slight matter, and
that it deserves not to have SO great weight
laid upon it, till he has considered what
evil is implied in it, and the bad effects
which follow from it. 1t is perhaps true,
that they who are addicted to this folly
would choose to confine themselves to tri-
files and Indifferent subjects, and so intend
only to be guilty of being impertinent, but
as they go on forever talking OF nothing,
as common matters will not afford sufficient
fund for perpetual, continued discourse
when subjects of this kind are exhausted,
they will go on to defamation, scandal,
divulging of secrets, their own secrets as
we'll as those of others, anything rather
than be silent.-Bishop Butler.

travelled through fairy land,
A wand rer from the fold of God,
False lights appeared on every hand
And led me many devious road
Through fields profusely deck'd with flow

Through groves melodious with song,
BY winding streams and sylvan bowers,
Isported with the giddy throng.
| Guild those flowers | loved so much,
To weave me garlands rare and grand;

And turned to ashes in my hand.
l drank those waters, clear and bright,
But, Oh how bitter to the taste.
Their poison struck my soul with blight,
And left it all a dark ming waste.
I fingered near those groves and bowers,
Enchanted with their swelling song,
And numbered not the golden hours
That swept necessarily along.
| followed in each phantOm's train,
But mainly fame and fortune sought;
/ now pronounce them vile and vain,
Unworthy of a passing thought.
To purer joys now ASPIRE
To joys more worthy mortal'S love;
My treasure and my hearts desire,
Are tending toward the world above,
Where life's broad river ever flowes
Mid banks in fadeless flowers array'd,
The tree of life immortal grows,
And angels worship in its shade.

BIsMARCK's BABY.-At the Prussian
headquarters in Meux the King occupied
the front and Count Bismarck the back
rooms of the Archbishop's palace. The
apartments of the Count were on the
ground floor, and looked out on the extern
sive gardens to the rear of the palace
The 10th of September had been a very
busy day to many of the prussians, and
not least of all to the Count. He was rid
ing all day, and in the evening he had a
long conference with the King. Tired
with these difficult labors he hastened,
when he reached his room, to prepare for
bed. He had scarcely, however, begun to
undress himself when he heard rustling
among the bed clothes, and on searching
found there, to his astonishment, an infant
not more than four weeks old. On looking
closer he found by the side of this enfant
trouce the following note:-" My husband
fell at Sedan; have nothing to eat. Des-
pair forces me to part with my only child.
1t has been babtized Vincent Nor does
this curious story end here. To make it
dramatically complete and symmetrical,
the unfortunate mother committed suicide.
The matter is said to have reached the ears
of the King, and orders were given that
the desolate infant should be sent to Berlin.
Was ever life so curiously begun?
