POLITICALLY,

CHICAGO, July Ia, 1872.
POLITICALLY,
things are moving along about as usual,
only that the number of Greeley and
Brown men is becoming more and more
numerous every day since the Baltimore
convention. There can be no question
but that there are thousands of men who
now do not hesitate to come out boldly in
favor of the reform movement, who one
week ago were non-committal and had the
Baltimore convention refused to endorse
Greeley would have given the Grant tick
cts their influence and votes.
Even the Chicago Times seems 10 be
in quandary as to what it had better do.
1t can't support Grant and don't want to
60 with the Greeley party. The Times
has said so many mean things about Hor-
ace Greeley that it can hardly persuade it's
self to take them back, and assume its DO
stion among the advocates of the reform
movement.
But, whatever may be said Of the
Times, politically or otherwise, it can
not be denied that 1t is the best newspaper
published in the West. Its news is gotten
up in better style, and it has more of it
than any OF its contemporaries. Every
body reads the Times
, MISS. DIR. MARY J. sAFFoRD.
This busy little woman has her Office at
No. 1913 Wabash avenue, and, if there is
any thing in appearances, she is building
up large and paying practice. l have
been up and down this popular and fash
ionable thoroughfare quite frequently Of
late, and on such occasions have noticed
that there were number of persons in
her rooms awaiting the attentions Of the
Doctor. 1t is pity the world has not
/ more just such women as Miss Stafford,
, If there were more like her, the world at
, large, and woman in particular, would be
better off.
LAscIvIoUs LETTER CARRIER.
To use the expression, the 'devi has
been to pay" among the letter carriers Of
this city for a few days past. One A. L.
Kerr, who has been in the employ of the
post office about year bachelor, rather
good looking, and spry, nearly at any or
all times ready to laugh at joke at a
seconds notice, the pink of politeness to
women, is the cause of all this hubbub
among the carriers Since the fire A. L..
KS. beat has included Fifth street, and
Fifth street includes as nice little piece
Of married calico as Kerr had ever act eve
upon. To make long story short, it was
Kerr's luck-or ill-luck-to deliver to Mrs.
Jones the many illusions which passed
through the post Office addressed TO her
name. Mrs. Jones and Mr.. Kerr became
friendly. In fact they became so friendly
that Mr.. Jones, whe is a respectable ma
chinist, began to suspicion that their
friendliness was going little too far, and
concluded to lay "about work" for day
or two in order to satisfy himself of what
was going on Accordingly, on Friday
morning, he left home ostensibly to 20 to
work-at least Mrs. Jones believed he had
gone to work. About the betwitching
hour of II o'clock in the forenoon, when
the sun was shining down hotter than
blazes Mr.. A. l.. K, the hero Of this item
put In an appearance carrying his leather

wherein dwelt the little piece of calico, be

her; she stepped aside and Kerr stepped
