Suburban Homes.

Persons who are contemplating the purchase
of home site in the suburbs where they cap
have more room, purer air, better health and a
larger enjoyment of life, generally, than IN
the narrow accommodations of the city, and
and at the same time be near enough to give
the bushes man and the mechanic easy access
to every center of business and industry,
should acquaint themselves with the
location Of the lands of the West
Chicago Land Company, beginning at
the western limits, and including the
two splendid districts adjacent to the Central
Park and to the Northwestern Car Shops.
These lands are nearer the heart Of the city
than any other suburban district, and have
some general advantages Of location which
render them the best residence or business
property in the neighborhood of Chicago.
Lots range from $500 to 81, 900. A number OF
very handsome cottages and two-story dwell
ings, thoroughly finished inside and outside,
can be secured at low prices and on easy
terms at the office of the Secretary and Treas
urer, James b. Goodman, No. 70 Dearborn

WHAT WAS IN The BUNDLE-Just before
the passenger train No 4, OF the Chicago,
Rock Island 4 Pacific Railroad left Rock
Island for this city, Tuesday night, lady
and gentleman catered one Of the passen-
ger cars and took their seats IN quiet and
transformations manner. The lady had with
her good-sized bundle and a small basket,
which she placed carefully on the seat beside
her When the tram few miles out of
town the lady left her seat and went into the
next car. and after while the gentleman got
up and went into the smoking-car, leaving the
parcels Oh the seat. None Of the passengers
took aay Darticu lar notice OF tins. as they
thought that the lady and gentleman would
return III a short time.
At Tiskilwa the conductor, Charley FINLEY,
went through the cars To tell the passengers
to change cars for Peoria He inquired for the
lady and gentleman who left the parcels in
their seat, but no one could give any lnfOrma-
ton regarding them, neither Of them having
returned since they left their seat at Rockford.
The conductor took hold Of the bundle to take
care of it, but no sooner had lac taken it into
his hands than he dropped it again ON the
seat, as if something had stung him His
face became ashy pale and horror stricken as
he exclaimed My God, thers is something
kicking in this bundle!'
The passengers all stood amazed and their
amazement changed into wonder when the
bundle commenced screaming Having at
length recovered from hiS surprise, the con
ductor ventured u open the parcel, and
beautiful .qrl baby, about one month old
made its appearance, screaming As If for dear
life lie took 1t tenderly In hls arms, and
caressed the wee little thing, and, thinking it
must be hungry, procured a bottle and milk,
and fed it. tie then placed the baby in the
arms Of a Lady passenger and examined the
basket which Was left with the bundle, and
in il found several baby dresses, etc, ETC.,
and note containing the following request ::
To the Daughters Of RebeccG
Take good care Of my baby, it is desti-
tute Sisters child, fleeing from brutal hus-
band Its name is Virginia s., born May ~,
1874. MRS >.
When the train arrived at Blue Island,
where Conductor FINLEY lives, he took the
baby to his house, and had it cared for by his
wife. Several Of the citizens Of Blue Island,
who had heard Of the little wait, called at
Mr. Tinleys house, and signitied their willing
ness to adopt it. But Mr. FINLEY had to re-
fuse, as he had promised it TO Mr.. George
Briggs, breakesman on his train, who, be-
ing childless, was most happy to adopt the
little thing. and to-day will apply to the
Court to have it legally turned over to him,
and allow him to name it Virginia 5. Briggs.
Who the father and mother Of this little
wait are is shro sded in mystery, aud may re-
main 50 forever, but it is not believed that
the woman was fleeing from a brutal hus-
band" She was quite young and Of very
respectable appearance, and the gentleman
who accompanied her also looked as if he be-
longed to the better class.
