Roundabout Chicago.

Chicago is a wonderful illustration OF
that vim-life of the west which copes
with great obstacles and conquors;
which reaps grain in spite of grass
hoppers, and raises corn to burn in the
midst of the hosts of the army worm;
which taps pay rock with a diamond
drill and rears national banks and
turns the horses all loose in the spring
and gathers ducats and takes in the
horses in the fall.
About the only guide one has nova
days in looking for the burned district
of the great Chicago ire is to look for
finest buildings, which are invariably
found reared above the ashes and
warped nails of that terrible confagra-
ton.
Someone has said some beautiful
things about some phoenix which are
apropos to the subject but we forget
who it was, and unlike the Boomerang
and Times, we always give credit and
expect to land on the bright side of
Jordan one Of these days, and We can't
use the sentiments.
ELECTION.
Last Tuesday in Chicago was election
day and 1t rained. Or course 1t rained;
It always does on election days, except
in Wyoming, where the sun reigns
supreme. The bulletin boards were

endless steel cable and a steam engine
The trains generally consist of three
cars and as they roll along State street
are we'll loaded with motley crowds of
variepated hats miscellaneous GOWNS
and muddy shoes.
The endless cable which moves with
out rest beneath the track, driven nv
steam. of course furnishes the MOTIVE
power. To this cable running under
meath the center of the road way. and
out of sight save as is seen through the
narrow slot through which the attach.
ing clamp runs. The train is attached
by a clamp of iron fastened at the will
of the operator. The machinery, not
very complex, is generally located in the
middle car in these trains of three,
winch serves as a sort OF an engine FOR
the whoie. But w'thail they look quite
strange IS they rush along the streets
minus engine horses or any visible
motive power.
