Sons l. Co., the most extensive manufacturers
Of ca,npaign uniforms, banners, etc, in the
West. They have just made elegant uniforms
for the staff Of Col. Bridges, VINO commands
the Minute Men Of the First Congressional Dis
trict- These uniforms exceed In clalorAteness
OF detail and style, and excellence OF fnisE, any
thing Of a similar character that has here
tofore been worn in campaign professions. An
opportunity to sec them will he afforded Thurs
d:y night, when there is to he Hayes aud
Wheeler parade, which will probably eclipse
any demonstration Of the kind heretofore wit
messed in Chicago. Many of the banners to be
carried iu the co.unn were made by this firm.
They have an immense stock on hand, and
their uniforms are so we'll made and reasonable
III price that they hare received large orders
from the city and adjacent States.

| PHOIOGRAF11NGT THE BABY.
! They came at 10 a. m.-the baby, his grand
mother, his pana, and mamma, and two aunties
They wanted to have his picture taken. Tie
oblicing artist got everything in readiness,
brought out the little velvet-lincd high-ehair In
which babies are usually photographed, and then
the trouble began. The baby's papa wanted to
take of its sacque because it had such pretty fat
arms, but its mamma was afraid that it might
take cold. Then one auntic Thought it would he
SO sweet to take of his little stockings and sit
him in big armchair, but his other auntie
thought that such performance would be very
immodcst indeed, and conflict seemed immi-
nent
Finally it was asreed that they should take
the artists advice aud strap him up in the high
chair. After much ringing Of bells the baby
Was induced to look with favor on the new state
Of affairs. The artist prepared to take the
negative, but just ut the critical moment the
infant doubled himself across the strap and
screamed Justify. His papa jinglcd the bells
anew, the artist set the music-box going, while
the mamma drew him out OF his chair, and enc
auntie called him stputzy utzy title sing"
Peace being restored, another negative was
taken, this time with tolerablc success. But
face, and the mamma thought that it did not do
Justice to his eyes. The next time he stuck
both fists into his mouth and shut one eye; and
the next time his grandma, who had been
watching him intentlr, ran hastily forward and
began shaking him and slapping him on the
back.
1t was 12 o'clock, aud the thermometer stood
at ninety-c;ght degrees In the shade, aud that
artist ground his teeth and looked to see how
far it was from the window to tho sidewalk.
Three or four more unsatisfactory attempts
were made, and at last the baby, who had been
taken out Of the chair so many times and was
not properly secured, slipped down on the floor
with thump. i grand hubbub followed;
everybody screamed; the timil auntie tainted
and the papa swore; while the trembling artist,
fearing for luis life, secrttcd himself behind
screen iu the corner, where he waited until he
was sure that no bones were broken, and then
he came forth, saving that lie had been sudden
ly called down stairs to see 1nan.
He Was so much relieved on being told that
they would not try again that day that he forgot
to live up to bis rules and demand sspay when
the negative is taken.'' As they started down
the stairs the head of the family Informed him
that they would call again in Z few days, and he
has hired small boy to sit at the foot of the
steps and bring him word ut their approach, SO
