CHICAGO, June 23.--The wigwam, which
is now 10 be pulled down, has passed sue
cessfiIlly through fearful ordeal, and,
now that it is over it may be said, con-
trary to the expectations Of most every
one. No thinking person could enter its
portals without being impressed with that
sense Of danger which viii At times pass
through the minds of the brayest. To
glance over the vast sea of human heads
and hands in perpetual motion, TO listen to
the dcatening sound OF thousands of feet
driving their nailed heels IN the floor like
the beating Of horses hoOfs, was To suggest
ut once the calamity which would olsuc
chould the pillars of the frail temple give
away.
AN EXCITING MOMENT.
While General Collins was in the midst
of sentence in his protest against future
conventions holding their sessions in these
large halls, cord suspending one of the
flaming electric lights gave way and the
lamp came down almost on the heads Of
the delegates who were sitting under it.
An omnous terrifying sound like the
cracking of timburs fell upon the ear,
While at the same instant the rain poured
in torrents through the leaks in the roof.
The lightning flashed blindness into thou
sands Of eyes and the deep solemn roll OF
the thunder made the earth trcmblc. In
an instant men rose up i'll black columns,
through which no space could be seen
and with rush like the tramp of startled
buifaloes bounded over chars, benches
aud barriers, animated only by the in.
stinct common to man and animal, OF
escape before unknown peril, of eScape
guided not ny reason, but only by fear
cooL HEADS SAVED THEM.
II was an awful sight and one at which
the stoutcst heart might quail Just for
one critical second or two life or death for
countless numbers hung in the balance.
Had II not been for 4 few cool headed men
OF nerve, who stummed the tide and
waved it back in stentorian tones of con
iidence and assurance of no danger, it
would have gathered pace which nothing
could stop, and the mind sickens at The
contemplation of the consequences which
would inevitably have ensued. The repre-
sentatiycs of the press had much to dc
with stilling the alarm. IL was in the d.
rection uf their quarters that the tide was
directed, as that seemed to offer the most
speedy means of egress. Fifty men wcr,
already clambering over the desks, whei

and beat back the storning party without
ceremony. Oh, it was Gods blessing
which brought security in the place OF dis
may.
