A Curiosity of Figures.

As n matter of local curiosity and a
species of puzzle for our friends, we pub
lish the following singular manner in
which a Dublin chambermaid is said to
have got twelve commercial travellers into
eleven bed rooms, aud yet to have given
each a separate room. Here we have the
eleven bedrooms

NEW CHICAGO.

The Chicago Times of the 29th Sept. says:
The query "Will Chicago be rebuil6?'
Has been answered in miles of enduring mar
bic that shall stand till the ages fall, on the
day of the anniversary Chicago will behold
different light. She will see 400, ,0O0, 600 where
there were but 100000 before. She will see
marble erected on the ruins Of brick. She will
see her business district extended to double It's
former proportions, and with few exceptions,
rebuilding or entirely rebuilt. The whole num-
Der OF permane ut buildings, built and being
built in the South division alone is 637 valued
at over forty millions dollars, this is only in
that portion of the burnt district. In the
North division vast number of permanent
buildings have been compIeted-fre proof and
Infinitely superior in every respect to that de-
stroyed. This estimate does not include an i'm
mense amount of building and other improve
ments, that has been done outside the burnt
district during the last year.
The celebration of the anniversary is post
poned until 1878, at that time it is thought that
the entire city will be Iecuperated, and not a
vestige of the fire remain.
The case has no parallel in the history of the
world, and is it any wonder there that the citi-
zens of Chicago should feel proud of their own
efforts, combined with the encouragement and
sympathy of the outer world in rebuilding and
re-establishing a whole city in only two years
time"

The Garden of Childhood.

know garden of fragrance,
A garden of golden bloom,
There is sunshine wreathed in the roses,
And stars aglow in the gloom
l know the pathways turn by turn,
For back in the long ago
l used to chase the butterflies there,
And watch for the roses to blow.
How balmy sweet, in the olden time,
The breath of those dainty flowers;
The moments follow with silvery chime,
To sleep in the golden hours
And the lilies used to love me then
As they leaned across my feet,
To hold me back in the pathways fair,
For they know the days were feet
AS thelillies paled and died away,
And the roses side by side
Have faded year by year, to-day
am left in the eventide;
If | know the garden so we'll,
never may enter there,
But morn by morn at the gateway still,
l can see the children fair,
Step down through the gilded blossoms,
With their faces all aglow,
And l look back through the broken days
10 that time when nine was 50,
And | wonder oft and oft again,
If the lilies bend as fair
To the little children in their flight
AS they cid when l was there.
I wonder now if the yellow gold
On the wings of the butterflies
Il used to think them floating stars
Astray in the silvery skies)-
Spills down on the lily cups of dew,
As they drift away in the light,
To find their homes in the isles of blue,
Asleep on the verge of night.
o. I am sad, so sad at heart,
For they cannot bring me back
What the lilies say to the roses now,
Or the sweetness life may lack.
l know the path to the garden,
But the children can only go,
Passing me by as I sit alone,
And weep in the evenings glow.

Grant as an Abolitionist.
What. He Said About Joining the Other
Side
From the Rardolph fMo.) Cilizen.I

|
From the Randolph (Mo.) Citizen
In the Summer of 1861 Gen. Grant, then
Colonel of the 2lst Illinois Regiment of Iufau-
try, was stationed at Mexico, on the North
Missouri Railroad, and had command of the
post de remained several months, mingling
freeiey with the people regardless of the pecu-
iiar shade OF any ones political opinions, and,
as the distinguished Colonel had no thoughts
OF aspiring to the Presidency or Dictatorship.
no occasion existed for the reticence to which
latterly he owes the greater part of his popu-
| larlty. In a public conversation in Ringo's
banking house sterling Union man put this
question to him: What do you honestly
think was the real object of this war on the
part of the Federal Government
''Sir," said Grant, 81 have no doubt in the
world that the sole object is the restoration of
the Union. | will say further, thougl, that I
am Democrat-every man IN M nent is
a Democrat-and whenever convinced
that this war has for its o.jsct anything else
than what have mentioned, or that the Gov
ernment designs using its soldiers to execute
the purposes of the Abolitionists L pledge you

not only resign my commission, bat will carry
my sword to the other side and cast my lot

GRANT BELIEF THAT NEGRO SUFFRAGE WOULD
LEAD TO A WAR OF RACES.
Esctract from Senator Doolitae's Speech at
Mtlacautee, Oct 2, 1872.
The other day, when General was here,
spending several hours with him In free con-
versation upon this subject among others, he
expressed to me the same opinion. Said I -
General Grant, never quote private con-
versaticn without express permission am /
permitted to state what you now state to me |"
Said he: Certainly; there is no concealment
On my part. And he stated to me- in the con-
versation, that considerable portion of the
trouble between the whites and the blacks that
had already occurred was in consequence of the
unwlse attempt to force negro suffrage in these
States He said further, that if the Federal
Government were to attempt to do it, it would
undoubtedly produce war between the two
races,

Chairman National Democratic Committee.

The Work OF THE HoUR.-When re-
verse has been encountered, soldiers sometimes
begin firing into their own ranks. But we have
never heard that reverses were that way re-
trieved; and we protest most earnestly against
any yielding to such temptation now. We can
throw away the Presidential election, or we can
carry it. The way to either result is clear
Every politician knows that it is in the power
of the cards, fairly played, to win the Presi-
dental game. Or, to resume the nobler figure,
the forces in the field are amply sufficient to
win the victory. That the Liberal party is as
certain now to rule the country in the near fu-
ture as was the coalition called the Republican
party, after and in spite of its great defeat in
1856, we take as one Of the palpable facts of
the situation. But it has in the present strug-
gle this great advantage as compared with the
first national struggle of the party it is to sue
ceed-that it has an impregnabe basis of 123
Southern votes on which to start, with major
tiles at the late elections in enough of the 9th
ers to bring victory within its grasp. The cam
paign for the next three weeks can be so order
ed as to put these latter States beyond doubt.

The Radical leaders are now making every
possible exertion to obtain triumph in Vir-
ginia at the Presidential election. Nothing is
to be left undone to accomplish that result. To
be fore warned is to be fore-armed. Let our
conservative friends, therefore, bear this in
mind, that even with the large majority they
have in the State, it will require all their ener-
gy and zeal to counteract the efforts Of the Ad-
mnistration party. 1t will not to do be supine or
lukewarm, in contest which involves the poll
tical stability of Virginia. We have evidence
that since the recent elections the managers of

Address Of the National Democratic Com
mittee to the People of the
Unjtad Stales.

United States.
The following address of the National Dem
ocratic Committee to the people of the United
States has been issued:
The October elections are over. They ena-
BILE US to form tolerably accurate idea Of the
true political situation of the country.
In Georgia we have to recount victory for
the liberal ticket so unexampled as to take her
out Of the list of doubtful States, and practi
cally to pronounce in advance the decision of
at least l25 votes in the electoral college. To
this number it is only necessary to add sixty
votes to elect Greeley and Brown
La Pennsylvania the distinguished chairman
OF the liberal committee has eloquently charac-
terized the methods by which the result of the
election there was accomplished. We COM
mend his statement to the thoughtful attention
of the country.
In OHIO, despite most unprecedented gains
for the lberal-democratic ticket, the Grant
managers have carried the election By redu
ced majority, having brought to the polls their
entire reserve vote. Had cur democratic
friends in certain localities of that great COM
monwealth shown the same earnestness and ac-
tivlty, and enabled US, like our enemies, to re-
cord our entire strength, they would now be
ezuting over brilliant victory. ln Indiana
the democratic and liberal forces have achieved
most important success over Pennsylvania
tactics most unscrupulously employed by the
administration and its allies, showing thus that
free people when aroused know their rights
and dare maintain them. Indiana has fairly
demonstrated that she can neither be bought
nor bullied" The moral of these results is
that victory is still in plain view for our nation
al ticket, and that energy and courage will as
sure it. That victory must be won. If we
mean to preserve free institutions on this con-
tlnent We must assure it.
The event in Pennsylvania On Tuesday week,
when considered in its causes, is the most ap-
palling political catastrophe that has ever taken
place IN this country. Should the system thro'
which this catastrophe was brought about be
condoned by the people and foisted on the 9TH
er States, it seals the doom Of freedom in
America. A sad contrast it is surely that the
city in which our Republic was born amid the
anthems of free people should now be the
first to toll the knell of its liberties. 1t is for
the free, unbought people of all the States to
calmly review the fearful crime against suffrage
in Pennsylvania, and to decide whether it shall
be repeated within their own borders.
For the first time the system Of free govern
on trial in the United States. From this hour
integrity dwarfs all other issues.
Let our friends in each Of the States catch
inspiration from the heroic conduct of our fel-
w-citizens in Georgia and in Indiana, and
from now till November let their struggle be
manful and unceasing for liberty and an untain-
ted ballot-box, for reform and an honest ad-
ministraton of the government.
