TEE CHICAGO SOUVENIR,

TIE CHICAGO SOUVENIR.
The TRIBUNE recently published m account OF
tho unfortunate man who pa.Yned his fathers
ring from door to door through the West Side.
To-day the Bcono changes, and a narrowing story
OF misplaced confidence On the south Side Inns
to be related. Tile oitizens Of that division of
the city, especially in tho neighbolhood Of the
Univorsity, affect literature and subscribe to
magazines and things, which do not coat over
90 q year. While on tho West Side tho strolling
fsh-aeller and choap.potato man do good busi-
hess; on ths South Side it is tho book
agont, tho nun Of superbly illustrated specimen
copies, who has tho popular favor.
Last week q black-hnircd young fellow began
working IN that field, soaking subscriptions for
the Chicago Souvenir, o monthly publication
supofbly illustrated, and specially intended for
tho instruction and pleasure Of yontb Ho had
with him copies which boro date prior to tho
tire. which had ncatly-exccutod mechanical en-
gravnga, such as . plow, etc. and pathetic
"aa 81 O year, payable down, aud emitting tho
subscriber to the back numbers since tho begin
ming OF this year. The price was so small, and
the Inducements go great. that many individuals
paid their dollars and waited patiently for tho
back Numbers, which. however, hayo mover
coma, and probably uevcr will como.
Ordinarily, when q person is thus viotimlzed,
his noighbors should be also beguica, aud pos
sibly nothing would hive been heard for some
4 time about tho Chicago Sourenir but for ono lit
to ine.dent- a gentloman living near tho Uni
Verbty paid his dollar, and was to rocoiyo hiH
baek nnn,b ers the next day. They did not come,
and lie unde up Ills mind TINT le Wns dofraudcl
but Kept mum, wishing his wife not to know Of
IL Hut aso, it Boens mot this agent on the street
out visiting somewhere, met the Souce,ir man
md also subscribed. THO lead OF tho fnmily
!or11l out tho extent to which his people had
boonvicttmizod, and, having two OF threo moro

uinkt thc' mntter public.
Therefore, il people are solicited to take the
SSourntr, published at Nos. 80 and 81 Monroe
stree, "a vacant lot, lardly fitted for publishing
purplses they will do well to got their back
numbers before they pay that dollar, or, what il
bettF still, let them call the police.
