There must be something in the atmosphere
OF Chicago that is fatal to tue internal harmony
Of visiting opera troupes.
4 large majority of persons who skate do so
under the evident impression that the skates
are strapped to the back Of the head; but that
is not the proper waF.
There are times when the formality OF an in
PRODUCTION can be dispensed with. One these
times is when you meet two Young ladies who
have tipped over into snow-bank and are un-
able to extrcatc themselves or turn their cutter

merchants for the superior work Of His firm.

1ng the debris ami preparing for the workmen.
Steam and charcoal brazicrs are employed to
thaw out the walls and dry the plastering, which
is being laid on the TWO lower stories. The
most rapid work is being done in the rooms for
mcrly occupied by the Post-Ottice, which will
be ready for occupation within very short
time, No effort has yet been made to
remove the ice from the exterior Of
the building, although the recent warm weather

Precisely how mach he stolen had,

And having bound each othert to

And the thought they had the softest sort,

But the peuitcnt Director sent

And the hearts of all the shareholders
Did sing aloud for joy.
And that Director penitent

Nor would be tread the golden stat

Honesty was, he had found out
The very best policy.
For he had bought up all the stock

And unawsres had taken the "bears"

appears, however, that mystery is necessity in
this bargain. NO Information On the subject
could be CLEANED from the Postmaster or
