Timely Remarks.

The " y Tribune, though it's
present political complexion is by DO
means unimpeaehable, must be cred,
tied for the following good hints:
"Chicago being burned, of course
it occurred to the minds Of mechan-
les throughout the country that it
must be rebuilt and 80 it must, but
net generally during the winter sea-
son. Forgetting this, persons out Of
employment have rushed to Chicago
in great numbers, eagerly anticipate
ing immediate work at enormous
wages 1t follows, now, that the
supply of labor there is greatly in ex-
cess of the demand, and il likely TO
be until Spring. Even then the de-
mand will not be unlimited, and the
greater the supply of workmen tho
lower will be the wages. The city
has enough to do in taking care of its
own mechanics out Of work, without
being saddled with the relief of emil
grant sufferers and our advice to
every laborer who thinks Of going to
Chicago for work is, that he find out
beforehand whether or no his SER
vices will be in demand there"

kiss each other. They then sing a

brother breaches from the Book Of

has commissions, apparently epilep.
