Yards. ~
To complete this most admirable system, 80
that it shall include the Water-course (Wltnout
which it would, indeed, be circumscribeD. the
Stock Yard Company are now bul!dlng canal
Of ample depth and width, which shall run from
the South Branch east to Halsted street. Upon
tie banks Of this canal will be built, By. the
Company this gigantic Tansfcr-house and an
elevator OF greater capacity than any now N the M
world. The transfer-hopse will be at least ], ,2oo
the centre, aud yard OF .suficient size to do all
switching with great expedition :.
Thus. in simple statement, is the proposed
system, which, when its practicahility is seen on
our accompanying map, will persuade the most
preiudiced mind that, while it is feasible and
EASY Of accomplishment, it is a system Of local
transfer that can not fail to be Ct incalculable
benefit to Chicago, and alike the great North
west, Of which she is the metropolis.
Although the simple statement OF this system
the present, yet it may be well to state, specific
ally, few Of the benefits that would result from
it's adoption In the first place, the reader must
recall what WAS stated as the defects OF the
present mode. and then be informed that the
proposed plan does away with all. Tho central
storehouse, for either tie storage Of merchan-
disc OF grain, during. the busy. seasons, would
then be provided; the expensive heavy team
hauling on our streets would be done away with
The transfer would be made in just half the

you'd be in greater proportion decreased.
Through frsghts east east and Tes M o Tona ans be e.
least, when brought by the way Of Chicago:
Thus our city would become known east and
west as place Of easy, expeditions, and econon-
ical transfer, and the bulk Of the through
freight pass over the roads centering here, much
to tie detriment Of other cities, and our own
merited advantage.
Again, it is veil known that all the roads Of
the city arc daily running stock trains to the
Stock Yards. This being so, how much Of time
and money would be saved in the transferring
Of cars from one road to another, by. attaching
to these stock trains the cars containing freight
to be transferred, and taking them to the trans
Ter yards, where the work could be quickly done.
To quote . familiar saying, this would be kill
ing two birds With one stone" which always
results in economy, either Of time, money, or
strength.
But this superb system speaks for itself, ard
it Is therefore unnecessary to multiply words
upon it. Once inan angnrated, the various rail- rail-
roads and heavy freighters will wonder how
the7 got along without it, and the commercial
interests Of our city will be improved tenfold.

, 1872-11-04

Some fifty years ago one Lee, manager OF the
Edinburgh Theatre with view to improving
the thunder Of his stage, ventured upon re-
turn to the Elizabethan system Of representing
suits at once 1udicrous and disastrous. He
placed Lodges here and there along the back Of
his stage, and, obtaining parcel Of nine-pound
cannon-balls, packed these in q wheel-barrow,
which the carpenter Was instructed to wheel to
and fro over the lodges, The play was g Lear, :"
trundled along it's uneven path over the
hollow stage, and the rumblings and re-
verberations thus produced eounterfeited most
effectively the raging OF the tempest in the third
act. Unfortunately, however, while the King
was Drawing, in front OF the scene, the pitiless
storm at the back, the carpenter missed his foot
ing, tripped over one OF the ledges, and fell
down.. whee1baErow, cannon, balls, and all,
The stage being On declvity, tho csnnon-
toard balls cane ne rolling rapidly and neis down
advanced, and, overcoming the feeble resist
ance offered by the scene, struck it down. passed
over it's PROSTATE form, and made their
way toward the foot-lights and the Addlels,
amid the amusement and wonder Of the audi
ence, and the amazement and alarm Of the Lear
Of the night. As the nige-pounders advanced
toward him, and rolled about in all directions,
he was compelled to display an activity in avoid
ing them slngularly inappropriate to the age
and condition Of the character he Was person
sting: He vas eyan said to resemble a dancer
achieving the terpsichorean feat known as the
eegg-hornpiipe. Presently, ten, the musicians
became alarmed for tho safety Of them
selves and their instruments, and
deemed it advisable to scale the spiked
partition which divided them from the pit for
the cannon-balls we're upon them, smashing the
lamps, ard falling heavily into the orchestra.
MeanThile, exposed to the full gaze of the
house, lay prone. beside his empty barrow, the
carpenter, the innocent provoker Of the storm
he had boen unable to allay or direct, not at all
hurt, but exceedingly frightened and bewildered.
After this unlucky experiment the manager
abandoned his wheelbarrow end cannon-baus
and reverted to more received methods Of pro-
ducips stage storms,

THE GRAVE


From. the German of Sails.
The grave, all still aad shadowy, lies
Beneath its hallowed ground;
And dark the mists to human eyes
That float its precincts round. -,
No music OF thesgroye invades
That dark and weary way;
And fast the votiye dowTet fades
Upon it's heaVing clay.
And win the tear in beauty's eye
The orphans groan In vain;
No sound OF clamorous agony
Shall pierce its gloomy reign.
Tet that oblivion Of the tomb
Shall suffering Man desire
And through that shadowy gate Of gloom,
The weary Soul retire.
The bark, By ceaseless storms oppressed,
Runs madly to the shore;
And there the grief-worn heart shall rest
There, where 1t beats no more.
