For many long years, whisky has
waged a cruel and relentless war on
the women and children of this and
other places. Now the tide of battle
is turned, and the ladies here and else
where, propose to continue their eff
forts until the last enemy is conquered.
Whisky, in Wilmington, is on the de-
fensive, and fights from behind screens,
laVa-beds and jugs, the spiritual wea-
pons of the assaulting columns. The
Sword ofthe Lord, i" if rightly handled
and directed, will beat the Captain
Jacks and drive them from their lairs.

= A spiritualist, in this city, lately received
communication from little boy who died
some time ago, which was to the effect that he
was only sorry he had left the world, on one
account. He said some one had written an
obituary poem" making him the subject, and
that it had cut him up terribly. He could Mt
see, for his part, what great big "grown ups
wanted to string his name on poetry for. II
| only made him the laughing stock of his fel-
lows, and was shameful. He said he only
wished he was on earth once more, and man.
with big club. He said the author of that
poetry should receive a suita bic reward, al
once, and one he should not soon forget. Sen,
sible boy, that Columbus Gozette.
-J.Y .scammon, of Chiago, in May, 1872
| borrowed 100000 of the Mortgage Company,
giving for security a mortgage on certain
| property corner of Michigan avenue and
Congess street. Failing to pay the interest
the property was advertised and sold fol
one hundred thousand dollars--being on
half the amount Of the mortgage. 1t is said
that Mr.. Seammon owns improved property
that ought to yeild an inc ome of SIS, 900 PEI
annum, which is unoceupied and yields moth
ing. From this the condition of Chicago may
be inferred. The real estate and building
business has been vastly overdone, and loan
were made on property up on the bubble tina
had been inflated. Foreign capitalist ar
likely to be called upon to foot large proper
ton of the losses. ."--[ Cincinna ii Gazette.
