from 81 to 81 80 per line every issue

The masculines OF this city are de-
cidedly better looking than The other
SEX. The women's features are rough
and irregular, nothing to compare
with the Memphis ladies. Women
fill responsible positions as book keep
ers, cashiers and clerks, and no doubt
are as trusty as the males. They do
not get rs large pay for their services
as men, | am informed. ! can see no
reason why a woman filling a position
OF trust and performing the services fs
well should not receive pay equivalent
TO that paid to men. There is some-
thing wrong about II, and 1t looks as
though they were imposed upon by
their employers,
They have abandoned the practice
here Of milking cows ly lamp light, and
use the electric only. The ea1 Tecol-
lection OF Mrs. O'Leary's mishap in
1871 brings this change in this buti-
ness.
More vessels arrive at Chicago dur
ing the season of navigation than at
any port 10 the United States. And
with its vast number OF 'ships at sea"
they are never overawed by the APP
pearance OF the "sea serpent" showing
itself at the wharf. rs other cities are,
but what il is deficient in in the
way Of sea serpents in its lake, 1t mora
than makes up with her SerpentS within
her gates.
The summer packing OF hogs now
exceeds 100000. So yousee it's "hcg
killing" time always here. One estab.
lishment works 5000 men in this bust
ness. The lardmakers uss copper cent.
OF cotton seed oil in their beet grades.
So you see when we put Chicago lard
in our biscuit, we know we are using
one-fifth Of own home product 10
shorten with.
There is no "delay" to be seen in
Chicago in but one way only. When
the second bell rings for the bridges
over the river to swing around for the
vessels TO pass and repa,s all locomo.
ton on the streets crossing the river
comes 10 a halt for a few moments.
The pedestrians and vehicles block
I'D the streets 10 the very abutmentB
OF the bridges, and before the bridges
are In POSITION the moving a is
upon them. There are thirty-six OF
these bridges and two tunnels. The
Chicago rlver penetrating the city
with its two branches north and south
and uniting in the very c~enter!of the
city and flowing half a mile
into the lake furnishes arteries
within the city to bring in and send
out a vast volume OF business in addi-
lion to the twenty-six railroads center
ing here. The average Chicagoan 10
NOT given to blowing" about the won
ders OF his city, but my observation
and experience teaches me that 1t Is
windy" here at all times, rendered so
by the lake frontige and rear prairies.
While the city stands pre-eminently
the breadth and character OF its re-
for physical comfort and en-
.oyment, 1t has grand universities and
Ichools for the dispensation of mental
)abulum, and a microcosm OF church
