RELIABILITY AND SAFETY.
How to Save and Where to Deposit
the Savings.
THE STATE SAVINGS.


The history % Chicago is the history Of
world in miniature. Every class, every ma
tionality and characteristic is represented in
this, the most cosmopolitan Of cities. And
yet, it will be found Oh Investigation that
men Of frugahty, economy, perseverance and
diligence, no matter Of what nationality,
have invariably sprung to the front, amassed
q competency If not a fortune, and com
manded the respect and esteem Of their
fellow-citlzers, while those Of a spendthrift
tendency, no matter how brilliant the oppor-
tunities furnished, have almost invariably
proven lamentabls failures as citizens and
men oftbusiness. This simple fact contains
a volume Of meaning II proves the rewards
tIent effort can accomplish what the srratic,
spasmodic effort Of the so-called genius often
fails to accomplish-sUccess III the race Of lie.
As an incentive and medium to such frugalIty
the Savings Bank becomes an import factor
The first dollar deposited furnishes a nucleus
and incentive to further saving. It instilli
new hopes and aspirations. 1t leads in the
right direction. Aman who has accumulated
twenty dollars will strive to double and
treble the amount. but the great object is t.

The Deceased Wife,s Sister.

The deceased wifes sister has again
vexed the British House of Commons.
AS everybody knows, marriage with a
deceased wife's sister is unlawful in
Great Britain, but the Australian colo
MES have legalized such marriages, and
the Queen, as supreme head of the en-
pire, has given sanction to this colonial
usage. The anomaly is thus presented
of different and antagonistic laws pre-
vailing in different parts of the same
empire. But now the colonists wish to
go step further, and to secure for per-
sons married according to their laws
of consanguinity the same privileges
within the mother country. If the mar
riage took place in England the children
would be illegitimate but if the cere-
mony was performed in Australia they
would be Legitimate. The object of the
new bill is to declare that the children
of such marriages born in Australia
shall be exposed to no disabilities in
Great Britain in other words, that they
shall be treated as legitimate in En-.
gland The Attorney General for En-.
gland, and also the Attorney General
for Ireland, opposed the measure on
legal grounds. The House, however
passed the second reading by a majority
of 1872 to al.

Claim.J umping I'm the Black Hills.

A letter from Deadwood says: "Great
excitement prevails throughout the min
ing districts relative to the validity of
titles to claims. Miners who located
prior to the extinguishment of the Indian
treaty contend that the occupancy of the
land guarantees to them valid title
until proper record can be fled. This
pretension is disputed by non-claimants,
who are jumping mining claims by the
wholesale. The Deadwood Theatre pro-
perry was jumped last night, and the
building is now being transferred into a
business place. The streets were block
AIDED to-day by buildings being erected
by jumpers. A body of armed men left
here last midnight, and to-day jumped
the very valuable Elrefugal silver mine
at Bear Buttes, eight miles from here.
Serious difficulty is apprehended all
through the H1ls.

pounds, or nearly 1000 carloads, the
most of which has gone forward in the
past two years.
The fact is apparent that the wanton
slaughter of buffaloes by sportsmen, dur
ing the three or four years Immediately
after the opening of the Union Pacific to
Cheyenne and the Kansas Pacific to Kit
Carson, and again from the influx of
tourists and hunting parties from the
East, and even from Europe, during
1870 to 1874, has almost amounted to ex-
termination. The results are more
clearly seen this year than ever before.
There are now no buffaloes ut all west of
the Rocky mountains. None are seen in
the vicinity of Mcpherson or Julesburg
and hunters from the North Platte coun-
try, heretofore favorite ground, where
the Grand Duke Alexis, Gems. Sheridan
and Custer, and party, had their famous
hunt in the winter of 1871, report very
little success. Along the line of the
Kansas Pacific none at all have been
seen. Their place seems to have been
taken by antelope, who have pushed
out on the plains further than usual, and
focked about the stations and settle
ments. The Upper Republican, where
buffaloes ranged i'll great numbers and

Slavery i'm Cuba.

Some statistics are published by the
Spanish Government to show that the
number of slaves in Cuba is gradually
decreasing, under the operation of the
Gradual Emancipation law. The fact is,
the revolution has a good deal to do with
the diminution of the slave population.
Many colored men have escaped from
their masters to enter the patriot ranks.
and all of them who have lived within.
or can get within, the patriot lines, are
thereby emancipated.

Brief COurtship.

Charles O'Conors peculiar wooing is
thus told by the Washington correspond
ent of the Cleveland Herald: "The
young and beautiful widow of Commo-
dore McCracken, of our navy, returned
from abroad, and, finding her financial
affairs in n complicated state, went to
Mr.. OConor to get his legal advice.
Mr.. O'Conor discovered that the Commo-
dore had died insolvent, and the beauti-
ful widow was left to the cold mercies OF
a selfish world without penny to call
her own. This he was obliged to break
to her, whereupon she held up her
hands in piteous dismay, crying: oh,
Mr.. OConor, what shall do? L, who
have lived in luxury all my life !
Madam, said the great lawyer, the
best advice 1 can give you is to marry
me- They were married"

A Young Poetess.

tie Taylor, girl scarcely II years of age.
She was born and reared on farm il
Perry county, Ohio, and her education
has been confined entirely to a country
district school, She is healthy and
sprightly brunette, with black hair and
the deepest brown eyes, Her only pecul
iarities are profound depth of thought
and expression for one so young, anC
what may be called an undertone of sad
ness running through an otherwise
wonderfully sunny nature. While it viii

LOVES SURRENDER.
Under my window, under my window,
All in the midsummer weather,
Three little girls, with hutterng curls
Fit TO and fro together;
There's Mary with her bonnet Of satin sheen,
And Emma with her mantle of silver-green,
And Kate with her scarlet feather.
Under my window, under my window,
Leaning steathily over,
Merry and clear the voice hear
| OF each gad-hearted rover.
All sly little Kate she steals my roses,
And Emma and Mary Irvine wreaths and poses,
As merry bees in clover.
Under my window, under'ny window,
In the blue midsummer weather,
Stealing slow on hush'd tip-toc,
| catch them all together;
Mary with her bonnet of satin sheen,
And Emma with her mantle of silver-green,
And Kate with her scarlet feather.
Under my window, under my window,
And of through the orchard closes;
While Emma she houts, and Mary she pouts,
They scampcr and drop their posies
But dear little Kate takes naught amiss,
And leaps in my arms with a loving kiss,
And give her all my roses.

Half a dozen children
Quiet a. a mouse,
Quiet as a moonbeam,
You could hear pin
Waiting for the party
To begin.
Such mood of founcesl
% dear me-
Such a surge of sashes,
Like silken sea.
Little eyes demurely
Cast upon the ground,
Little airs and graces
All around.
High time for that party
To begin
To sit 40 any longer
Were a sort of sin;
As If You weren't acquainted
With society!
What "A thing TO tell of
That would be!
Up spoke little lady
Aged five;
- I've tumbled up my over-dress
Sure a. Pm alive!
M dress came from Paris;
We sent To Worth for it
Mother says she calls il
Such a fit!"
Quick there piped another
Little voice:
40 didn't send for dresses,
Though / had my choice;
have got a doll that
Came from Paris, too;
II can walk and talk as
Well as youw
Stir TIL now, there sat one
Little girl;
Simple a. a snow-drop,
without fiounce or curl,
Modest as primrose,
Soft, plain hair brushed back,
But the color of her dress was
Black-all black.
Swift she glanced around with
Sweet surprise;
Bright and grave the look that
Widened in her eyes.
To entertain the party
She must do her share,
AS If God had sent her
Stood she there
Stood minute thinking,
With crossed hands,
How she best might meet the
Company's demands.
Grave and sweet the purpose
To the child's voice given;
80 have little brother
Gone to heaven!"
On the little party
Dropped spell;
All the little fiounces
Rustled where they fell;
But the modest maiden,
In her mourning gown,
Unconscious as a flower
Looketh down.
Quick my heart besought her,
silently;
- Happy little maiden,
Give, o give TO me
The highness of your courage,
The sweetness of your grace,
To speak d large word, in
Little place ~
