A friend yesterday received letter from
his sister in Chicago, dated Tuesday, tenth
instant, in which she Gays:
"Of course you have extensive accounts
of the unprecedented calamity which has
befallea us; but when you read the very
worst about it, just remember that the true
state of things is far worse-worse than
anything you can imagine. All the elegant
business houses are gone; not a house is
standing from Congress street north to the
main river, and only one is left on the north
side to Lincoln Park. Hundreds and thous-
ands of people, rich three days ago and
living in ease, are now beggare, with no
business, no homes-all gone. Yet though
they know not what they are to do, all seem
to have hope. Our home is still spared,
though we feel little secure, as the opinion
is universal that incendiaries are still at
work. The citizens keep watch all night.
General Sheridan will have seven COM
panies of regulars here tomorrow morning,
after which the remains of the city will be
put in their charge. Of course we all have
lost not only by the general prostration OF
business, but my three sons are all burned
out perhaps and money all lost, and their
business all gone for the present. Still, l
guess we'll all get along
With such hopeful spirit, on euch day,
certainly they will.

One OF the most sacred privileges Of a
compositor on morning Newspaper. and
one in the exercise Of which lie is seldom
interrupted by the proof-readel is the use
ofthe comma. There are someFinters who
are not addicted to the comma and who do
not space their lines with it, b., no reader
ought 70 question their right to do so.
When it becomes necessary te announce
tina: Mr.. John Smith has always been a
good Democrat" few comas making the
expression read Mr.. John Smith, has, al
ways. been a good Democrat are orna-
mental. and never do any ham. There
seems to be an insane prejudre against
overworking the comma, bat time will
probably soften this feeling.-Louisei!le

OF the appropriation for the ninth census
there remains unexpended but about $lO9,-
600. sum not more than sutficielt to carry
en- the bureau until the meeting If Congress
in December. That body will, therefore, he
called upon early in the session for a de-
feiency appropriation to complete the
work. In view Of the elaborate and de-
tailed manner in which the reports have
been made up, and the promptitlde which
has characterized the labors of the census
Office. it is probable there will be but slight
opposition TO liberal appropriation Of
funds for the purpose.

A Mean Trick.

We are assured by DR.. E. S. Lewis that
the advertisement which appeared in the
Wants" column Of the Times On Friday
morning, purportiug to emanate from him,
was a forgery. He has also addressed a
note to the Times, in which he repudiates
not only the advertisement, but the practice
of demanding percentage on prescriptions
from druggists. The doctor is hotly in pur-
suit of the author of the mean trick prac-
ticed upon him, and Will 10 all in his power
to make him regret the liberties he has
taken with the name Of an honorable and
high.minded physician.

Local Intelligence.

AMONG TIE PUBLIC SCHoOLHoCsEs.-
Last Friday we passed a few hours IN look
ing at several schoolhouses. in company
with Mr.. T. Lynne and Mr.. J. L. Cook, in.
tending to make a note Of repairs recently
made on some of the buildings under Mr.
Cooks supervision. Our attention was az
much occupied by looking a: the children
as at the repairs.
The Webster School, Dryadee street, al.
though an old structure, is in tOlerably good
condition, but the teachers declare that q
few more benches are required, the number
of pupils, about five hundred, demanding
an addition. Good system prevails, and
the scholars wear tidy appearance and
cheerful faces, probably owing to an excel
lent corps Of teachers.
The Magnolia School, corner of Caron-
dele, and Philip streets. has received con.
siderable attention, mechanics having per
formed their labors thoroughly. We arrived
while the children were taking recess, so
saw little but heard much.
The Laurel has been well attended to,
decaying portions Of wood work removed,
and the place renovated generally, except
ing small building in the yard, used for
the primary department. 1t would be for
tunate if fire would destroy that. Paint,
whitewash and the carpenter could not bet
ter it. Good order prevails, ard the pupils
are improving.
The Girls High School, on Chestnut, near
jackson street, is worthy Of any city. AL
is bright and new, cheerful and clean.
The structure is all that could he demanded,
and speaks favorably for those who have
charge of it. The entire premises wear q
comfortable appearance, which has good
effect on the misses in attendance. The
amiable teachers speak in praise Of the
scholars and while there we listened to
portion Of Fridays exercises, and If our
judgment is correct, the young ladies will,
a: the end Of the session, prove that labor
has not been bestowed on them in vain. It
is safe to assert that thev viii bear conpar-
ison with the scholars Of any other similar
institution. or with other establishments
making greater pretent;ons.
REGULATIONS and compositions by the fol-
lowing named young ladies were far above
the ordinary, and delighted the few visitors
who were present: Misses NJ. Virgin, G.
S;lverstein. T. Rodgers, N. Bourdet, g. De
Castro, J. Guyther, A. Shields, F. Levy, r.
Philips. c. Kearnes, NJ. Bridgins, A. Pitcher,
Stafford, Ferguson, H. White, Goodrich and
Bridge, F. Landry, NJ. Mccullough, L.
Green.
A short call at the Madison Girls showed
us that the institution is tlourishing finely
and the pupils making excellent progress.
The building is in pretty fair condition, but
should cold weather come Unexpectedly no
fires could he made, as the stovepipes in
each room have disease that consumes
them. They are worthless as they are,
which fact is noted in order that the proper
person may remedy this evil before chilly
weather sets in. There is nothing else need
ing immediate attention. Teachers in each
school suggest that they and their scholars
would be delighted by visits from members
of the board occasionally.

THE JURY MUDDLE.-The case Of the
BOYD brothers is almost lost sight Of in
the jury middle. Attorneys on both sides,
and the court, consumed the time in rails
ing points or objections, and then knocking
them into pi. The question as to whether
John johnson had ever been pardoned,
and whether that fact could be proven, was
uppermost. Johnson's status was the pivot
on which everything turned. He ia an
elderly man with gray hair, and looks a
little troubled. Judge Abel, after the
court had taken two or three recesses, con-
cluded to discharge the present jury, and
so the trial OF the Boyd brothers is still in
ahevapca

The CENTRE OF EXCITEMENT IN DRY
GooDs.-No one can visit the store Of
Messrs. B. & w. Croner, corner Of Maya
zine and St. Mary streets, near the market,
without feeling perfectly convinced that it
is there the excitement about new goods
centres, especially since they have opened
their new stock. The crowds which con-
stantly are entering and going out, the alb
solute rush which is made for the elegant
new patterns Of dress goods, the eagerness
with which purchases are made, all announce
the fact. And the fact is, il is not surprising.
for the Croners' stock is amazingly beau,i
full. and sold astonishingly low.
