The Poll Icai Mil EMU IN d.

Is the Millennium coming? An old
time Democrat out West, who is decided
ly mixed, thinks it has. Hear him -
"Whcreas, the Millennium has dawned,
and the wolf is lying down with the
lamb, and the lion is eating staw like an
OK, and the abolitionsts and secessionists
march under the same flag, and the RAIDS
and Rebs are arm in arm, free protec-
ZIONIST are one in one the Irish aud Ne
groes eat out OF the same dish, and Hor-
ace Greeley and jeff Davis sleep in the
same bed, and women vote aud ride
astradde, and everything is lovely and
the goose hangs high" Therefore-Re-
solved, that, inasmuch as the time has
come for all men to eat dirt, and turn
summcrsets, and no man thinks what he
says, or says what he thinks, we unani
mously recognize the absolute equality of
men, including women, children and
Chinese that we believe mules ears as
short as horses, and leopards can change
their spots, and that the negro is man
and brother, that we have something of
an idea that man was born of monkey
and things are not what they used to be,
aud that there is great deal Of upside
down-ness, aud down-side-up.ncss, and a
bewild,riug mixed-up-cretve-ness gener-
alIy.-Rcsolved, ID, that we let bygones
be by gunes-that the South was either
right or wrong, aud the North wrong or
ri!ht. that We will mix three parts OF
Dixie aud two parts Of Yankee
Doodle" together, and marry the Union
Eagle to the Rebel Buzzard, etc. etc"
The poor fellow is as near right as the
rest OF US.

ANOTHER STORY OF THE IEACE NEdO-
r1ArioNs Mr.. George n. Saunders tells
his story about the negotiations for peace
in the latter years of the rebellion. 1t
seems frank and truthful, as we have no
doubt it substantially is,-though every
thing that Mr.. Saunders says is not nee
essarily so,-but it adds little or nothing
to our previous stock Of knowledge on
the subject, and compromises no one on
either side in any unpatriotic or improp-
er proceedings. There were, however, a
good many wheels within the wheels
the negotiations of those years, and Mr..
Stanton, with his usual distrust of Mr.
Lincolu's peace.tendiug and peace-seek-
lug nature, seems to have contemplated
either to prevent the success Of what Mr.
Lincoln aud Mr.. Greeley were doing, or
to direct the course Of things more ac-
cording to his judgment. Mr.. Saunders
makes these statements on this point, and
we believe they are new, and presume
they are correct -
1t would appear that Mr. Stanton had,
with ambitious envy, put stop to Presl-
dent Lincoln's negotiations, that he might
himself send an envoy to his old friend
Thompson. The envoy Judge Jere
Black arriving at the Falls in search OF
Thompson, saw me for moment. and
hurried on to Toronto. OF the purposes
Of these three cabinet counselors of Pres.
ident uchanau-Back, Stanton, and
Thompson-l am still ignorant. Perhaps
the pigeon holes Of the war department
hide some light on the subject. The
Judges patriotism will no doubt prove to
have been equal to the perilous position
OF being between Stanton and Thompson
Mr.. Seward also sent his ENJOYS to us
But his efforts were negatived by Mr.
Stewards caution is not allowed to be con.
veyed to US the authoritative character Of
their mission.

A Bridal Dinner.

A dinner party given by wealthy
citizen of New York to bride and her
bridesmaids, is thus described: The
table seated sixteen, served on each
side, with the lady and gentleman OF
the house at head and foot. The table
cloth VAS of rich, heavy white silk,
with fringe half a yard deep, and was
elegantly embossed. Along the edges
of the table, under the plates of the
guests, were spread lengths of the
finest and costiiest linen damask, the
width of napkin. There were no
meats or vegetables ON the board. It
was set and ornamented for dessert.
At each place was small silver vase.
OF exquisite pattern, holding few rare
flowers. These, with knife and fork,
the five wine-glasses Of different sizes
and patterns, and the bill of fare, print
ed III gold on white satin, were ALL
In the center of the table was richly
chased plated tank, filed with moss
and flowers. Running up from this
was stem which was twined with
vines and held stand a little less in
size than the tank, which was perforated
with holes. On this stand stood a
block Of the clcarest ice, which spark
eled and looked rainbow~hued in the
numerous gaslights, and rs it melted

down among the plants, making a
beautiful fountain. The fruits were in
elegant stands, garnislled with the most
beautiful flowers. Tho whole table
presented a very ell gait appearance.
There were five courses, 1T the end of
which the narrow table cloths on the
edge OF the table were ticxterously

The Persian Famine.

The following from the Bombay Ga.
zette OF the 2Sth of October, gives the
latest details of the fearful mortality
and suffering in Persia, resulting from
the combined effects of famine, cholera
and crime. The Gazette says that in
the Persian Gulf the people continue
to be much distressed by famine. Char.
liable funds from India are being
eagerly used. News from Bunder
Abbas, in the Persian Gulf, in.imates
the reappearance of cholera, and more
starving Zorea trains have left for
Bombay. Letters from Yezd are full
OF distressing details. Famine, want
Of employment, cholera and lawiess-
ness, induced by desperation, contin-
ues. At the beginning of last month,
the inhabitants Of Ispallan were dying
OF starvation, and it is said that
matters will, in all probability,
grow worse till next June. At
Meschid, the capital of the province of
Khorassan, and a town of $4,000 in
habitants, $4,000 people are said, in
letters received from India up to the
date of August Z, to have died from
starvation, $4,000 have fled the CITY,
and those who remained have for the
most part been seized and carried away
into slavery by the Afghan hordes.
Great complaints are made because the
monopoly of the sale of corn is in the
hands Of the grandecs. The Shaw of
Persia IS said to be becoming very i'm
popular. On the news of his return to
his capital from rent hunting OK
cursion, thousands ON eople covered
themselves with dust and ashes. and
raised seditious cries before the palace,
These proceedings SO alarmed the Shah
that for the time being he would not
venture int" his capital, but aftcrwarl
he committed several atrocities.

Among the distinguished pcrsonarrs
who visited police headq llartcrs on
Monday was Mr.. Sofdatkoif, a Russian,
w" js ono of Prince Alexis party
While viewing tl,e objects OF interest
about the rogue's gallery, III" listing-
'llslled foreigner was struck by the idc''
OF one of the females in the frame. If
his recollection served him right, he
knew the woman and of course insti-
gated SONS, inqniries. Upon consult
ing the book containing the names of
the persons represented: il was fonnd
that the face identified by the stranger
was sat down as Madame Gratowski,
which was an alias. She was arrested
on the charge of shop lifting at the
stores of several merchants, and after
tr'ai was sent to Sing Sing prison for
three years and ak p,onths, The stran-
ger said the woman was a ratise of his
country, that her name was Radetsky,
and was the daughter ol one of the first
families of the Empire and what mole,
SINCE her departure, having by the way
eloped, Her father died. leaving her n
immense fortune.
Chief Maloy and Capt. Hale both re-
collected the woman we'll, and her gen
eral description given by the stranger
eorresPonded with their impression ex-
actly. These officials also assert that
tt.e woman served out her time at Sing
Sing, but has been arrested within q
year at New York, and is now at Sing
Sing serving out another term. The
stranger made memorandum of all
the chief and Capt. Hale said, and in
formed those officers that he would
make the fact known to the Prince who
was acquainted with the circumstances
connected with the case, and between
them an effort would be made to secure
the pardon of Madame Radetsky.

4 Singular Phenomenon.

It is possible that some portion of
the wealth Of Chicago that melted into
thin air on the 9th OF October was seen
again before it reached ultimate dis
persion. \ paper recently read before
the royal geological society of Dublin
stated that Capt. Edwards Of the Ncp-
tune, III Il passage from Quebec to
Liverpool, found his vessel envclopcel
in the smoke and ashes, as he believes,
Of tho burnt city. His report of the
facts certainly indicates plausible oc-
casiun for his belief. On the 18th of
October, ut sea, in lat. IL % N long.

cloud of fog arise on the western hori-
zon, which gradually came up with and
surrounded the vessel, and so contin-
uc.l until midnight. From first COM
ing up with the ship until clearing of,
there prevailed very strong smell Of
burning wood, both the captain and
crew felt their eyes much irritated by
the smoke, and the decks were strewll
with fine dust. At the time, the ship
was more than 1000 miles from CHI
.'ago. The former owners of frame
houses in that city can therefore have
the consolation which Pat offered to

During the prevalence of the fierce
ea)e Saturday evening one of the huge
chiuneys OF The Eddie House was
blown down, and falling upon the roof
went crashing through with noise
that was heard all over the block.
Tearing It's way through the room OF
! one of the serving girls named Mary
Fitzgerald. 1t reached the linen room,
below, thence int; th" ordinary. and

by the solid earth The young woman
Fitzgerald was carried along with the
bricks, broken tilnbers, and other de
hris, including stove, falling nearly
fifty feet. The bulk Of the ruins reach
ed the bapement before her, there
fore her fall was somewhat broken,
nevertheless she was wedgcd in so tight
ly that it was some time before she
could be rescued. DR.. Book was sum-
moned, and upon examination of her
injuries found thet no bones had been
fractured. She HAD a severe ecalp
wound and a cut of considerable mag
nitnde on one temple. Her face, body
and limbs were bruised, cut and torn i'll a
shocking manner, but it is believed that
her wounds will not prove fatal. The
engineer, Charles Gates, was setting
within a foot Of where tho mass struck
at the moment the crash came, and was
the first to hear the girl scream, but for
the moment he was so blinded with
dust and bewildered with the extraordi.
nary visitation as not to be able to read
lly comprehend what had occurred.
Tho building, in the track Of the
falling ruins, looked rs though it had
been torn by an explosion, and those
who have viewed the scene agree that
the escape Of Miss Fitzgerald was
miraculous.
About half-past four o'clock terrific
gust Of wind caught the roof of the
Republic brewery, on ElmSoou ave-
nue., and wrenched it oil as though it
had been paper. The brick walls of
the upper story tumbled in at the same
moment, instantly killing man named
Ernst Miller and seriously injuring one
Jacobs, brewer. Miller's body was
subsequently taken out of the ruins
and carried to his late residence at 149

ile|d next Tuesday.
The livery stable owned by Daniel
Connor, on Jefferson avenue, between
Cass and First streets, also suffered Sc
verely. The brick front was blown
down, filling the sidewalk with debris
and creating ncighborhood panic, but
happily no pers,,n was Injured by the
occurrence.
