-V'The Chicago Tribune is taking a
gloomy view of things ut present II
says: 'Unless every respectable citizen
does his duty on election day--perhaps
with revolver in his hand--it needs no
prophet TO predict that the city of Chi
cage will be bound hand and foot, and
delivered over to the rapscallions and
thugs even more completely than it is
now; that worse confusion and more de
strnctive counsels will prevail than now :;
and that we shall enter upon an era of
rullianism, corruption, intimidation and
violence. in comparison with which our
present sufferings will seem light in
deed"

dignantly responded the little lsiss, IN
the most emphatic manner.
AS both question and ansuer were
distinctly heard by those around. every
one burst into laughter, which so fright
ened the little maid that she cried.
Tho same little miss upon being one
day bantercd because she was girl, and
having represented to her that boys were
usually more trouble, was asked if size
did not wish she we're not p boy. "No,
indeed" she quietly replied: Use
