A MOTHERS TREASURE.

The Chicago Times of Friday says ::
Living at No. POP Erie-street is lady
whose name is Mrs Robert. Some months
ago she laid away to rest, under the grass
OF Graceland Cemetery, her little boy, to
whom she was fondly attached, and
around whose memo DRY she still twines her
hottest affections. Frequently since the
death aud burial of her boy, she has gone
TO his grave to scatter over it fresh flowers.
Now and then she weaves a cluster in
some curious shape and leaves it there at
twilight for the dews to moisten while she
is away. 1t is one of the misfortunes of
this lady that she is a somnambulist, and on
several occasions she has been detained
as she was leaving her home late in the
night. On Wednesday night last she elud-
ed the attention of any one about her own
premises, and had gone as far as No. 967
North Clark-street in her night dress be-
fore she was noticed. AT this number re-
sides Mrs. Mosher, who CHANGED to be at
the window when she saw the figure glide
by almost swiftly, the long hair falling up
on the shoulders and form OF the strange
looking sight. In most women, and some
men, such a scene would have caused the
blood to stand STILL But Mrs. Mosher,
guessing what it was. summoned her hus-
band. who pursued the moving figure and
escorted her into his house, where she re-
manned during the night. On the following
morning Mrs. Mosher had her sent to her
home in a carriage. When Mrs. Robert
was found she had under her arm budle
OF child's clothes, and in the other hand a
collection OF flowers. She said she had
gone to sleep at home and dreamed that
her little boy had come back to her and
took her by the hand, and asked her to go
with him to his grave. She arose and took
the clothes and the flowers, as stated, and
was found in her sleep, Fastening to the
spot in the silent city of the dead where
her own treasure was buried"

The mcHatton levee contract has not been
closed as yet, the surety offered not having re-
turned from st. Louis. BY referenc. to our ad-

tio1s made by Chief State Engineer Harrod,
relative to forfeit to be deposited when bids are
submitted, have been adopted, that determus-
ton having been arrived at by the Governor
and the board. The
FORFEIT OR DEPOSIT
decided upon must be one cent for each cubic
yard OF the estimated contents up to ten thou
sand yards, when an additional uu srter of one
cent will be required for each additional yard,
and this sum to be forfeited to the State In case
OF the failure Of the contractors or bondemen to
qualify within forty .eight hours after sdjudioa
ton.
This course was decided upon to prevent
"straw" bidding in the future, ne has been the
practice since the estimates were made.
