III the Union movement
The FOURTH passed OF without much noise
or confusion, except that produced by the
boys in their usual pastime of firing squibs,
crackers and immature cannon Steamboat
excursions seemed to be the order of the day,
and there was no lack of accommodation in
that line. Several large boats left the docks
for the different Islands within a few hours
ride Of the city, and large crowds awaited
themselves of the opportunity The day was
cloudy, but fine, and the air ON the river and
lake refreshing, and all seemed to enjoy it.
The early morning boat brought up the Cleve-
land Greys, . fine looking and well drilled
military company, of Cleveland, who pa
raded our streets, and remained through
the day. as the guests of the Detroit
Light Guard. The visitors left for home on
the evening boat, apparently well pleased ard

VISIT Of Mr.. SAYFIS Last Tuesday we
had the pleasure of . visit from Mr. Vim.
SAfhn. President Of the holders Interna.

and organization in Chicago and surrounding
towns. Joliet and Aurora received his at
tention, and the molders of the Garden City
also secured some fatherly advice. We were
pleased to learn that the ]. NJ L. was in a
healthy condition, which probably accounts
for the healthy appearance of our friend, who,
like the eagle, seems to renew his youth
Long may he wave.
THE CRIsPIS's LODGE, No. nm, OF CHICAGO.
This Lodge held its regular monthly meet
ing on last Saturday evening, at their hall, on
Dearborn street, near Randolph. It was one
Of the finest meetings they have had for some
time. The report Of trade Is quite favorable
in regard to factory work, though it is not as
good As it was in former seasons. In the
customer line, trade is reported to be very
dull, more So in fact, than it has been in Chi.
cago for several years. The only cause at
tributable for this, and the partial dizziness
which prevails in some of the factories, in the
unusual tightness of money.
TIE CHOLERA ScARE.-The threatened ap-
proach Of this dreadful scourge has almost
frightened the timid people Of Chicago out Of
their wits, and many of our good house-wi
have already laid in certain cures and proven
tatives. IAN ounce Of prevention" it il
said, lis worth q pound Of cure" The chol
era has not, Is yet, paid our Garden City 9

and decaying vegetable matter, and impru
dence in other ways. People cannot use toe
many precautions to prevent it, but they will
lind that those which cost less money and
more labor are the surest preventions. KeeI
the back yard clean Of Offal Of every descrip
tion. Keep the CUTTERS in front Of the hOuss
clear and free Of filth, and allow no decayinl
vegetable matter to lay about. Avoid al
unnecessary and excessive eating Eat nd

tables. Do not eat canned oysters, lobster
or fruits of any kind. Use camomile tea fire
quently, taking wine glass full every morn
ing before eating. People who viii follow
these rules need have but little fear Of choler'
or any other disease.

Their aggregate wages we're Sl ,O4J, 1888,
which is an average uf $40 per week.
Even the exemplary Kelley, 81 Pennsyl-

Ana 80 We find that $500 invested In the

$40 earn as much per annum as white

wages are considerably below the manual

shall saddle the trouble on the Khedive's
railroad and send out some of our Illinois
farmers to put down freights. 1t is much
easier to ride on railroad, and have it to
fetch things to us, and grumblc at it, than
ii is to build one.
The Khcdive's empire extends to the
equator, embracing country 1900 miles
long by 800 wide, and containing nearly
thirty millions of people, civilized and saw

The New York HeroM has mapped out
the region of new railroad development
careering in this wild way through that
strange old country, seven thousand miles
away from us. At such rate Central
Africa will soon lose all Its ancient mys-
terry. We shall know after awhile all
about the sources of the Nile, the haunts
and habits of the gorilla, the dwarfs, the
underground jewellers, the houses with
ivory pillars, and the men with tails.
The Khedvc's reliance for skilled labor
is on Europeans. The chief engineer is an
Englishman. The project, which is that
of a single Mohammcdan, would find no
skilled aid among the yiceroy's own people,
whose religion spreads in those luxurious
climates, crowding out ours and growing in

the imagination and favors case, while ours
is of sterner material. But in turn, We

Who is the coward that represents him

to his article headed 'Thc Man Who PAYS
But Very Little TAXI"
1t is with feelings of regret that am Oh

OF all contemptiblemeann the attack

has taken advantage of the widows and or
phans? II is true she signed an instru.

instrument was recorded in the Town
