CHIoAeo, Ills, Feb. IL, 1873.
st. Valentines day is over, and lots
Of fun It produced for our boys and
girls. The market was flooded as usu-
al with fancy caricatures, and it is
poubtful IL a door-bell in Chicago es-
capped the fatal ring, OF the most mod
est maid or bachelor that trembled on
that particular day missed the dreadful
%portraiture.
There Is soon to be a contest for the
mayorality. The present incumbent
has positively refused q reelection and
n number of contestants are already in
the open field. Postmaster Palmer has
gone TO Washington. He received Or
ders from the head of the department
to report in person what kind Of quar-
tiers can be furnished the post Office at
the new custom house. This is a very
important matter us Chicago is so great
a mail centre, and u permanent location
for the post office is an urgent necessi-
ty.
Hon. Schuyler Colfax was expected
in the city last week to deliver a lee
ture but was unable to meet his en-
gagement on account of sickness.
One Of the greatest discoursers Of this
or any other age is in our midst. This
is DR.. U'Unger the discoverer of Cln-
chona, the great cure for inebriation.
Nothing could exceed the wonderful
Lcure that this simple herb is producing
among the unfortunate drinking class;
and the effect that the medicine has
upon their poor diseased systems is lit
tie short of miraculous, and to those
hearing of 1t for the first time the story
must seem incredulous.
This is not al age of wonders, nor a
superstitious age, but things do some
times occur which had us TO believe
that Divine Providence is shedding its
special favors around them. My indul-
gent reader will not think that I would
mention anything as truth that has
come directly under my own observa-
ton, and I put this item in my letter.
not as n sly advertisement, for DIR
D'Unger knows nothing of my inten-
tion to say anything about it, but l know
how much real genuine good has come
out Of his discovery, and it makes me
anxious to say to all that l am interest
ed in that this cure is infallible and its
simplicity makes it unobjectionable to
every one. If in n simple letter | could
convey u very long and important mes
sage should he glad to do it; but
must be brief and say-would to God
that the word might catch the cye--if
but poor soul that would free itself
from the chains, restraints and envir-
onments that encompass it; that is, If
n person should be benefited by what
my letter expresses, i should be made
happy. l feel that it is u glad tidings
which must help to spread, and l
know that the truth will take root
somewhere. But N thing more, in
this city of ours where the greatest
temptation is the wine cup, and where
cases are that hundreds. of men, yea and
even woman, too-are victims of the
dread disease which strong drink en-
genders, is where this remedy is doing
a good work. There are cases which
have come under our own observations,
some of our own dear friends who a few
weeks ago were on the verge Of ruin
n despair, and where are they now?
LOOK in the counting room, in the law
yer's Office and in the editorial chair
N You will-behold them; and whisper
IN their ear the question what causes
this wonderful change in yon man?',
and they will not hesitate % tell you
how they were restored to earth and
manhood. DIR. D'Unger is at the Pal
mer House and on visiting his rooms
the visitor can see thousands of letters
from his patients all over the United
States and many even from across the
water.
Now must say a word about what
new thing spring is bringing to us.
First of course in the line of fashion
comes the Importation Of millinery
which Is very beautiful this season, and
Tor n wonder very sensible. rs to style
and expense, then comes dress goods
which are NIL that we could desire in
style texture and price. The only
wonder is a that thing so pretty can 10
