tenplated Menagerie.

Yesterday Aurora visited tho Exposition, and
found It satisfactory. Tho inhabitants Of that
city suspended business for q dny mud came to
Chicago, Bringing their wivos, tlioir Jaughtors,
aud their luuull-haskcts. This iB but tho begin-
ming Of tho stream which ia to Bot this way ovor
tho Burlington l. Quincy Road, mud 1t will not bo
long before tho tlwclerB on tho banks Of tho
Mississippi como to drink tho clear wators Of
Lake Michigan, 500 tho Exposition, and 1oarn
something Of tho Sports and pastimos Of Chica-
20, including gambling on 'Chango and Bpocu-
latton ut bunko. lilo co,u,trymnn is the foro-
orlainod prey Of tho bunko operator,
and, by mcallu Of tho seductive
language of the managers Of the gatno,
leave much money lloro which thoy intended
taking away with them. It Is FOOD for trade,
but 1t sours tho temper aud tho victims loao
faith i'll Chicago, aud compare themselves to
that man who fell a1nong thievos.
Now wo want our visitors to tako sunny
Wow Of Chicago, to 60 away with money enough
to buy prizo-p packages On their why home aud
with n belief TINT thero nro moro than ton
righteous mon within our coniinoB. Therefore q
hint. Iu every village in Illinois, north Of
Springfield ut loRst, some ono man can be found
who has boon to Chicago, aud has tested tho
thoroughncsB aud, completeness Of bunko. They
arc valuable mon at tis titno. Thoy have had
thetr cyo-teeth cut. Bring thom to tho front.
When Kankakoe, or Lincoln, or Ottawa, Elgin.
or Evanston organizes to vieit tho Exposition,
they must do like Christians family when
they Het out on their pilgrimage.
They must get their townslnau who
knows bunko, and who can herd tho lambs dur
ing their sojourn among tho dangers Of this
city. Call him out. Ho may bo modest. Ho
lnay not think ho Is entitled to tho prominence
1t is proposed to give him, but ho must sacrifice
those feelings for the sake Of the village Par-
son or laynan, ho must guide his band past tho
tempting bazaars Of Vanity Fair, nor must ho
allow Don,as. who Aas been baptized and is
called Mike Mcdonald, to run thom OF into his
bogus silyor-mine.
sSoot sight to SEQ tho procession as 1t moves
through the street, in compact order. while the
guido hoyors nround on tho outskirts, now on
tho right, now On tho loft flank. II any ono
bowB to one Of his pilgrims, and aoems
to want to enter into swoet converse with
him, no rushes to tho spot, and bida him
bownre OF tho wolf In shoop's clothing. The
proprietor of cheap restaurant out soliciting
custom, the runner for tho noigAboring peanut
stand, tho drivers Of omnibusce, will all have
thoir gentle advances met bya repulss from the
guide. or course tho pilgrims will think this o
little too much caution but
"1Io jcsts at Gears, who mover fot wound,"
aud It is better to follow tho advice Of man
who has been through the fire, and whose gar
mentB have boon signed.
City generosity and rural credulity, when
brought in contact, generally lead to IN exchange
Of money, without IN equivalent. Ropl gonerosi-
ty is a lost art just now. It is one Of those
potty vices which everybody shuts down On
in hard times. Smoking may DO rotainad, but
generosity must go. There are not half aa
many people III Chicago who ask friend to
take drink now as thoro were two weeks ago.

So, when pcrson processes to bo generous,

accept bis generosity. Grow noble minded III

made btforo, but they como in apropoB just now,

gant generosity Of Jones.

Sometimes Jones dlspoBeR Of eligible partner-
ships for nothing. Sometimes ho tosees away

bers in a lottory or q sweet plan for breaking
faro baul. Unwilling that bis good deeds should
DO known among men, he sails under n falso
uamo, aud the charitable Jones Of to-day is the
eympathizing Smith Of tomorrow.
