THE NEWSPAPERS.
1t is not generally known, though it
is fact, that all Chicago newspapers
that have appeared since the calamity
in that city, have been printed upon the
presses of the Chicago NEWSPAPER
UNION. No other steam presses were
left from the flames ready for instant
operation. Besides doing the press
work for daily papers, the NEwsPApER
UNION printed, without delay, the reg
ular editions of 200 weekly newspapers,
not disappointing single one. The
first paper issued after the fire, and con-
tanning an account of it, was The News
PAPER UNION of Monday morning. Mr..
Aikens, President of the company, who
was in New York at the time of the
fire, upon learning of the calamity, pur-
chased full newspaper outfit, in addi-
ton to the large one now used bv the
UNION, and five fast presses, which were
shipped at once, and will be immediate
ly put in operation, and kept running
| night and day to their full capacity.
With view to increasing business and
assisting his unfortunate height bors, the
manager of the UNION, Mr.. Strong,
secured ample room, while the great
fire was raging, aud at the close of the
present week they will have their new
presses ready for operation. and be pre-
pared to fill all orders promptly, both
for papers and press work.

VISITING TIE RUINS.
The South Side for the last two day
has been decidedly the most promising
portion of the city. The magnifcen
residence portion of the city left un
burned has been rapidly turned into
city of the present, and the city of th'
past has shown encouraging signs o
recuperation. Sufficient time has nov
