slstence, in the face of adversity anu
skepticism sufficient to dishearten any
bnt superior man. and it is estimated
that on existing rails in England alone
there is, by this means, saving of a
capital sum of $40, 000,0 900. In lines
other than invention, which is admitted
to involve certain kind of genius, we
may with no difficulty find evidences
OF the same superior character of mind
That enables one man to tower above
his fellows. A walk down any promi-
nent thoroughfare of Chicago will lead
past from one TO adozen monuments
OF this material romanticisa in the
ways OF trade. One of the mere liant
princes of America, a man vet young in
years, with scarcely line in his face or
bend in the 1.-THE, graceful form, began
his career in this city as clerk, with
no money but his salary, and to-day he
is the dry goods magnate of Chicago,
doing a business said to involve $60,-
O00,000 year. The life of this man is
vcritable romance, with touches of
olor here and there like the pigments
of fiction. Within stones throw
from his principal establishment is an
other king of trade, who from an
equally humble beginning has reaped q
fortune almost as ample, and gained
public repute into the bargain.
The hotel that is one of the wonders
OF the new world sprung from the mea-
ger counter of diminutive store, with
immediate trials and hardships that
gave marvel to the present stupendous
success. The history of the men who
now control the large manufactures in
this city. and whose famous stock and
provision concerns in the south part OF
the city would need little establishment
to give them all incredible fascination of
vital romance. Even now, when some
one well informed of the facts contrasts
the conditions of this or that favorite
OF trade, describing the early nothing
wits the present every thing, the hear
er takes the story with fair allowance
OF salt. unwilling to believe that indie
fatlga.ble industry, determined energy,
indomitable courage are the Aladdin
lamp of the business world, and that
, with them wonders may be accom-
plished Chicago Inter Ocean.

Here We Come Again.

Please allow me to saythrough your columns
that | beg to bcexcuscd from placing myself
upon the plane of controversy invited by Hon.
Charles Pelham in his lawycr-like and high
toned production, introduced by such startling
headlines in your issue of the 9th instant. As
he seems to fear, however, that he may be
provoked to some violent act, and wants to be
restrained. and may need assurances upon that
point, beg leave to assure him, for myself
and 'cO.cOnspirator," that we have no
expectation of settling the questions which
may arise rs to the administration of the Belts
cstatc by newspaper articles or violence, or in
any other way than by the legally constituted
modes known to the law and supposed to be
known by lawyers. The suggestion of robbery
of a dead mans estate comes moro naturally
to those who seek to prevent administration
under the protection of the law than to those
who invoke such administration.

the money the poor old fellow had left, and he
innocently inquired from n member of one. of

lower half of PENNSYLVANIA avenue how he
could get Il ticket ut less than the full rates TO
New York The fellow said that he was going
TO New York too, and was just going to see II
friend OF his in the railroad office to get
cheap ticket. The two went across TO the
Baltimore and Potomac railroad depot, where
the old man was told to wait down stairs and
hold his new-iound companions baggage

their tickets. Telling his victim that the regu-
