Chicago:
=. Chicago il 8 city Of wooden shautiee. This
big fire consumed only structures of pine. Its
people are lnfdels and wife-sse.1ers by pro
fession. Dire will be- the misfortunes Of any
gentleman who takes his wife to that city. Soma

This, Of course. is tho verdict of Ignorance,

even her staid wisdom, Of 200 years accumula-
tion, can learn a few things from the woo1en
city Of the prairies. For instance, how to pare
her Streets, md how to clean then.-not to mon-
tion what she might learn from wide-awake dry,
goods dealers ami hotel-keepers+

Another pleasant thing about life in this placid
old city ia, that people
TAKE THE WORLD EAsT.
One evidence Of this is the absence Of hurry and
anxious faces and another is the great number
OF feshy people. Go where you will, you SEQ
dozens who will weigh over 200. Even the
tailors advertise ready-made clothes for 1000

sgAn LECTURE COURSE
The event of the week in connection with
literary affairs is the lecture to DO given Tuesday
night at Mccormick Hall by Schuyler Colfa1.
Many things conspire to make this memorable
event. First, it is the debut OF the e1-Vice-
President in Chicago as q lecturer, his few gre
vious engagements IN the provinces being only a
kind Of rehearsal. Next, it is not every day
tlat an ex-Yice-President OF the United States

again ia it 9 rare thing to have brought into
conjunction such . lecturer with such subject.
For from the confidential relations that existed
betwesu Mr. Colfax and Mr. Lincoln, as we'll rs
from the intimate personal knowledge Of the lee
turer regarding ali the inner impulses and mo-
tiyes of the Government daring the most trying
period OF our eountry's history, there attaches
to this lecture of Mr.. Colfax on 'tLincou and
His Times an importance that reaches beyond
mere literary entertainment, and becomes of
political and historical significance. Erom the
large sale Of tickets already, the widespread in
terest manifested in the event is apparent; but

Cincinnati Commercial (Iad.)
Mr.. William Lloyd Garrison has written
letter to one of the Communistic labor re-
formers, in which he bluntly tells him that
he has no fears of any bloody struggle SO long
as the people make their own laws, repudiate
union OF Church and state, exercise liberty
OF speech and OF the press, make their own
contracts, and buy and sell according to the
law OF supply and demand.
If the Democrats carry Ohio and PC nnsyl-
vania-and it is evident that these two States
are mutually helping each other-Two things
may be accepted as settled; first, that the
West will control the Presidential election I;
and second, that. anti-resumption and the
abolition OF the National bank system will be
the leading plank in the National Democratic
platform. Louis Republican. (Iad.)
All depends on Ohio. If that state goes
Democratic in October it will be next to inn
possible for the Republicans to carry Pensyl
vania in November; and if Democracy and
initiation should sweep both these great
central states of the Union, the outlook for
honest finance is dark indeed. But should
the initiation Democracy receive decided
check at the Ohio election, their fate in PEN
sylvania is sealed. The action of the Pensyl-
vania Democracy, therefore, will increase the
already intense interest which is felt in the
Ohio election.-Detroit Tribune.

SAMUEL j. Randall, promising Demo-
cratic candidate for speaker, says that the
Pennsylvania Democratic platform sin its
most vital particulars is everything honest
men could wish" As the financial question
is about as ''vitap' as anything, Mr.. Randall
may safely be put down as an infationist.
Other remarks of his go to confirm this view.
He is quoted as saying that there is "a deter
mined feeling against the New York infu-
ence," and that pennsylvania will unite
with the West in the selection of candi-
date" As the New York influence is in IA
vor CT hard-money, and as the Western can
didate will be an infationist, the position of
Mr.. Randall and The Pennsylvania "hard-
money Democrats" is pretty evident.

In Vassar College a custom called "smash-
ing" prevails. When Vassar girl sees an
other whose appearance she admires she an
nounces that she is "utterly smashed" and
"dead-gone," and begins to make eyes and
send presents to the smasher. The common
way of expressing this affection seems to be,
81 have the palps so when see Miss -
that can scarcely stand up" 1t is great
thing at Vassar to be successful smasher.
One young woman, said to be from Maine,
counts $50 victims. A Vassar correspondent
who furnishes these interesting facts severely
condemns the practice. But there seems TO
be nothing very bad about it. We are as
sured that the presents frequently assume
the form of fried oysters or sweet potatoes.
These dishes are certainly improvements up.
on the cheap gift-books and unhealthy con-
dictionary so much in demand as gifts. 1t is
surely quite as sensible and far less dangerous
for girl to shave the palps'' over another
girl than over a goodlooking idiot of the
male sex.
