A LOST OPPORTUNITY,

thusiastic admirers, regarding him as a
man Of high aims and the lottiest political
moraiity-a man whose rule Of conduct

man, irrespective Of Interior views, and
whose character is an honor not only to
the party of which he is a member, but

CHICAGO ITEMs.-The Chicago Democrat has
re-apeared in the form of a half sheet, and fur
nishes the annexed interesting breyities:
Rents since the fire are simply awful. The
writer saw two hundred dollars month offered
for single room in q private house on Wabash
Avenue, but that price was no inducement.
One man on the North-side lighted match
at lumber yard and was Instantly shot dead
by policeman, and when parties came to him
it was found that he had pipe in one hand
and the burning match in the other, he having
lighted match with no more wicked intention
than lighting his pipe, but he suffered the death
penalty for his indiscretion.
In the excitement of the fire draymen were
in great demand and fabulous sums given for
the Transportation of single loads. We know of
one instance where a man paid 500 cash IN
advance to have load of goods hauled away,
but they were burned up before they were un-
loaded. Mr.. Drake of the fremont House,
after his own hotel, and all the other hotels in
the business part were destroyed, went to the
southern, terminus of the fire on the South side,
and bought the Michigan Avenue Hotel while
the flames were raging on two sides of it, know
ing that II il would be saved he would have a
good thing, and strange to say the flames went
no further, and to-day the Michigan Avenue
Hotel stands on the corner of Michigan Avenue
and Congress street, a monument to the enter
prise of Mr.. Drake, the world renowned hotel
keeper.
The proprietors of the Sherman House also
bought hotel building on the West side on
the same night of the fire.

$AICoRREcr1oN.-In our issue Of the 18th,
xe published an article headed care we in
Peace or War7" which we find did much injus.
tice to the soldiers who were sent to arrest Capt.
J. Banks Lyle; and as We have no inclination
to make false statements against any one, we
deem it our duty to correct those in the article
alluded to. We thought the source from
whence we obtained the information perfectly
reliable, or we should not have published it.
"A gentleman who was present when the sol.
diers went to Capt Lyle's house, and in whom
the utmost reliance can be placed, informs US
that it is not true that the soldiers eat the break
fast prepared for the students, nor did they
hitch their horses in the front yard among the
shrubbery. While there they did nothing to
injure the premises, or that was discourteous to
the inmates of the house. That they fed their
horses from Capt Lyle's crib is true, but they
say they are ready to pay for the corn when
the Captain presents his bill.
They paid colored woman to cook their
breakfast for them-the officers eating in the
negro quarters.
We ask those Of our contemporaries who pub
lished our former statement, to publish this as
an act of justice to the parties wronged.-- W-
ION Tines.

How TO BE AN ED1roR.-A good editor must
combine the loquacity of magician with the
impudence of the devil. He must know how
to time horse-race, teach Sunday-school,
preach charity sermon, run saw-mill, keep
o hotel and brew whiskey. He must be insen-
sible to the cruelest snubs, and manifest no
sense of anger when kicked down stairs. He
must throw modesty to the dogs, and let the ii:
gers howl. But above all things else, he must
Be an adept of putting. He must be enthusias-
tic on the subject of hams, verbose in extolling
hardware and highly imaginative in the mat
ter Of dry goods. He must talk leaTne1y Of
programmes, with liberal mixture of glowing
words. He must be heavy on concert, with
capacity to appreciate Miss Squeak's execution
of difficult feats in the upper strata, and ecstat-
ic and eloquent in behalf of every one connec-
ted with it.

A DISTRESSING CoNUNDRUM.-A New Or
leans paper tells of an ambitious young debater
in village society who propounded this alb
istruse conundrum:
''Eff'r man plants watermillion seed next
to his fence; and this 'ere watermillion seed
sprouts up into watermillion vine; and that
pere watermillion vine grows and meanders
through that 'ar fence into another mans lot
adjacent that 'ere watermillion vine that
sprouted from that watermillion seed and
meandered thro' that ar fence into this ERE
other mans lot adjacent; tharin consolidates
and homologates into watermillion, the ques-
ition, feller citizens and ladies' is: To which of
these 'ere men did that ar watermillion, so ho-
molgated and promulgated, belong? To the
man who planted that 'ar watermillion seed
that meandered thro' that ar fence into this
'ere mans lot adjacent and thar consolidated
into. a watermillion; or to the man who owned
this 'ere lot adjacent, whar was SO promulga-
ted the watermillion that 30 exerggitated from

ADRo1rLY H1r.-A correspondent of the
Herald and Pres6yter, writing from Minnesota,
tells the following, II have picked up a little
story which think too good reproof for dis
turbers of the peace in churches to be lost. A
presiding elder of the United Brethren Church
was preaching in this same neighborhood, and
was much annoyed by persons talking and
laughing. Hepaused, looked at the disturbers,
and said, I am always afraid to reprove those
who misbehave in churcE. In the early part
of my ministry I made great mistake. AS I
was preaching, young man who sat just be-
fore me was constantly laughing and making
uncouth grimaces. paused and administered
a severe rebuke. After the close of the service,
one of the official members came and said to
me, Brother ~, you made a great mistake.
That young man whom you reproved is an idi-
ot.' Since then have always been afraid to
reprove those who misbehaye in church, lest
should repeat that mistake, and reprove another
idiot During the rest Of that service, at least,
there was good order"
