Take notice: The said snipes was

Its to your patrona &c and coun.

Fearful, indeed, must be your re-

She was stern as Roman Cato, she
had studied Kant and Plato, and
for "Wisdom's old potato" dug
in every soil and slime;
Yes, she dug the glitterlng tuber,
from Kamschatka down to Cuba
from the Gauges to the Yuba,
and in every land and cline.
She could lecture on Plotinus, Ath.
anasius and Aquinas, and Semi
ramis and Minus were familiar
on her lips;
She'd 10 time for beads and bangles
and for silk and worsted tangles
while by logarithmic angles she
ioretold the next eclipse;
She could lecture by the hour, and
with much forensic power, upon
Locke and Schopenhaner and tho
medieval munks:
And she thought it was her mission
and the height of her ambition
Just to scatter erudition, aud Ia
leave it round in chunks;
She was like a knowledge bottle from
which poured, as from throttle
viewed of Bacon, Aristotle, Reed,
Ricardo and Renan.
But no crazed swain tried to get her,
for she couldn't fry fritter
dress or cook leg of mutton,
broil fish, or sew button, fol
she never was constructed OH
that good old-fashioned plan.

In New Quarters.

Messrs. Lord Il Thomas, of Chica-
go, the well-known and popular Adj
vertising Agents are about to move
into their new quarters, which are SO
spacious, so elegant, and so original
and novel III their appointments, that
they deserve more than passing no.
tice.
The building, Nos. 40, Al and 40
Randolph ST., between State and
Wabash We, is at once the most
striking in appearance and the most
elegant in Chicago; built of sand
stone, it is 70 by ia feet, practically
fire proof, and lighted on four sides.
Three large elevators and two spac-
ious stairways, give abundant facili-
ties for passengers and freight.
Messrs. Lord II Thomas will occu-
py the entire third floor, giving them
superficial area of nearly $4,000
square feet. This beautifully lighted
room is unbroken by partitions, save
a private Office in one corner, thus
bringing the entire working force of
about sixty clerks into one spacious
room, certainly the largest Office OF
any advertising agency in the coun-
try, if not the largest business office
of any kind on the continent.
The various departments are so ar
ranged, that the work passes along
with almost mechanical regularity.
While the entire appointments are
elegant, the filing department if ar
ranged on an entirely new principle,
which amounts TO an important in
vention. Heretofore Advertising
Agents haye filed their newspapers
in wooden pigeon holes, with not on
lY excluded the light, but caught and
retained the dust, and thus proved a
nuisance. The new filing depart
ment of Messrs. Lord IL Thomas is
