Stories about Trappers. The following stories about trappers in tbe Far West are told by a writer in All the ' Year Kouna: "I fonnd in Puget Sound a last connect ing link between his day and ours, in the person of an old chie- What thoughts uiuBt have been runniDg through the mind of that old man as he glanced over the - wonderful story of the seventy years which , had come and gone since John Vancouver ailed with his stately 6hip up Pnget Sound, I know not; lor the leathern conn tenances of the Indians, like dead men, . tell no tales. Tbe medals that Lewis and Clarke distributed among tbe Indians at the mouth of the Columbia river could still be sometimes seen i tb Chinook lodges, thouch that trib had long disappeared, wi:h all the Columbia and Willamette r tribes, from their old homes. Old Astoria voyagers I sometimes came r across. . Toe sou ol tu at Fierre Uonon, whose escape with Lis heroic Indian moth er, after the murder ot his lather, is so graphically portrayed by Irving, was my fellow-traveler for weeks together before I - knew how historically interesting he was; and the crrandson of one-eved (Joncomoly, : ehiel of the Chinooks, ' the marriage of whose daughter to the factor of Astor is so amuseingly related, trudged side by side with me for many a Bummer's day. . Cap tain Bonneville wag not to me, as he is to many, a shadowy absti action, invented by the novelist, on which to hang many a auaint tale of love and war; but was a hearty, genial veteran, no way backward to fight his battles over again 'when he got a ready listener. "Some of the trappers whom I knew are old men, and it has been my lot to know, among others, such men as the celebrated Kit Carson, Jim Baker, Jim Bridger and ethers. Such men were al most universally Americans; and though thev were not at all inimical to the female Indian, yet they invariably entertained im placable feud against some particular tribe. They had also their favorite tribe, against whom it was rank sedition to say a single word. 'Crows kin be trusted, an old fel low would say round the camp, his mouth filled wif.h tobacco; 'bnaEes am t no such 1 "count; tut if ye wantu to get the meanest pizen-bad lot of Injuns, just trap a fall down to the Washoe country, just'' And afterward you would hear some other man nive exactly an opposite opinion. On closer 11 observation yon would generally find that the landed tribe was the one whom he had lived longest among, to which his sojiaw belonged, of which was the easiest to strike a bargain with; for, generally epeaking, these mountain men are a very unreason able set when speaking on Indian matters. "Old 'IVpieg' Smith was 60 called, to distinguish him from the numerous Smiths of the Weht, on account of a wood en leg, which he had worn ever since any body remembered him. Old Tegleg's day was over before -1 knew him, and all I re member ried, ly who time of him was a garrulous old fellow in San Francisco, no way backward to iake a drink when Le found any one willies to invite him. His adventures formed the subject matter of a book published some years ago; and it I recollect rightly, an ar ticle appeared in one of the English maga zines, about tbe same period. On one oc casion old Pegieg came down to a frontier brandy port, and there in a few weeks not only epent all the earnings of the past sea son, but had also run so far in debt that his fine white horsa, which bad been his com panion for years, Was placed in pawn in the trader's siables. It was. in vain that Smith begged itp release. Tleading prov ing vain, Pegieg tried to get possession ot the stable-key, bnfc that attempt also proved futile, until at Lut, all pacific methods fail ing, he resorted, as a last expedient, to force. Waiting nntil the trader was asleep, he bopped to the stable door, applied his loaded rifle to the key-hole, and in a crack blew the lock oft In another crack the trader, aroused by the noise, was on the ground; but only just in time to see his debtor careering joyously, on the back of the whiie horse, over the prairie, waving his cap, and galloping at each a rate as to put pursuit out t.l the question. 'A remarkable man, but one much less known, was Albert PfeifFer. Like Carson, he was in the irregular Mexican cavalry; indeed, he was lieutenant colonel of the same regiment He was a man of a very singular appearance. His red beard grew in patches, the intervening space appear ing burned and discolored. This was owing to his having been poisoned by some of the Indians' arrow-poisons years before. He wore blue goggles to shield his weak eyes; yet, though they were weak, they were bright, clear and quick. His was al most ghastily in its signs of suffering, and he walked stiff, with a cane, being rcarred with nearly twenty wounds, carrying in his body some Indian souvenirs of bullets, and bearing two frightful marks where an arrow had pierced directly through his body, just below the heart. A native of Frissland, he came to the United States some 30 years ago, and during all that time served as an Indian pacificdtor.Sghter and trapper, oras a guide to passes in the mountains known only to himself and the Indians. An ac quaintance of mine used to r late an anec dote of Pfeiffer. They had started on a tour together, and as tliey rode along, 'the colonel' gave him various directions how to behave in case they were attacked by In dians; finishing by saying, in his broken English: 'And now, don'torget, if me be wounded, you kill me ot once, lor I will not fall alive into dere infernoZ hands; dey tor fare one horrt&ly. And if you be wounded, I kill vou, you see. Don't faill "I write of Albert Pfeiffer as he was four years ago. For all I know to the contrary he is stall living; one of the last and the bravest of the mountain men. "Another specimen of the mountain man wasan old fellow whom I may call Seth r e iilifseth was ratheran intelligent man, and during our rambles I used to be amused to hear his opinion on men and things, all of which he rjrononneed with the utmost confidence, though his ducation as far as book learning was concerned) was limited, and his range of observation equally so. Still, like western folks, he looked upon himself as particular smart,' and a right smart chance' of an argifier.'

'Are there any fails about here, Baillie?' the major asked. Oh, yes; the falls of the Columbia were not over a mile. Well, then,' the major thought. 'Well build a raft; the road's pretty bad. On the raft was placed a broken wagon, a three legged mule, five or six broken caribines, an empty cak, an.l a few more such valu ables. The major wished to guide it along with ropes, and though Baillie assured him that the current was so strong that this was impracticable, he insisted. At last the men shouted that they could hold on no longer. Wall, then, let gor was the answer; and over the fall in a few minutes went the raft and its contents.

From the Iron and Steel Bulletin. It is conceded Wy the principal builder of this and other couutnes, tuat the atje of wooden sbips i passing away, and that hereaittr iron will be u-t d almost exclusively in the construciiuii c f s'eameiu and sailmor vessels, tiarucuiariy the se em ployed in ocean tr.insit. At te present time, owing to various causes iron snip building is confined to tue Clyde, lyue and Mersey, England, aad the business is now exceedingly active at those places, thousands of workmen being fully employ ed in constructing vessels lor all parts ot the world. The reports that reach us of the activity of sevral branchr s ot the iron business in Eaglaud, caused by the heavy demand for plates, angle-iron, ic, ou tue part of ship builders, should lead us to do all in our power to develop that branch of business within our own tt-rritcry. There is no part of the world that promises better fa cilities for the construction of vessels of all kinds, iron, wooden and composite, than the vast stretch of coast lying between Nor folk, -Va., and Maine. Timber in vabt Quantities, and of the bst qualities is lound here, while good iron can be made ad libitum. American shipbuilders, we pre sume, without an exception will admit that our iron is vastly superior to jr-gnsn iron for their purpose, while the lar-seeiiig among them agree that a reduction of the duty on iron will by no means result to their advantage. A policy that will cripple or close the world upon which they must rely lor their materials, can only result to their disadvantage. Nevertheless it seems absolutely accessary that the Government should come at once to the aid of our ship builders, in order that the . business may not be driven irrevocably from our bhore. It would appear that the necessary aid need be extended for a few years only. While various opinions exist as to the best means for aiding this important interest, perhaps the least objectionable and most efficient would be a bounty or drawback, based upon tonnage, in the case ol all ves sels built here of American material. About Dinners. A gentleman Washington thus discourses about dinners and social life at the national capital: "I can fancy that a man may live here (Washington) a luxurious and in'.ellectnid life on ten thousand dollars a year. He could bring about him the elite of society ; foreign and domestic talent, and the clever of every profession; for it is a fact, whether admitted or not in the highest circles, that no matter what amount of knowledge may be crowded into a mail's brain, he cannot withstand a gcod dinner. It conquers asperities, neutralizes prejudices, and lets in the mellowing sun ef gcod fellow ship, to make the -diverse elements of our nature harmonize with the spheres, and, of course, with himself. A Congressman that gives good dinners is almost 6ure to be returned; for, the fact that he dots do it U strong evidence that he is in favor of good things, and may be trusted in matters connected with the good of the country. We apprehend that it will be found that this sort of man, though be may not be over-clever, is rartly astaik-d; and if he is, he stands invincibie in the midst of his so cial artillery. When he retires he is very likely to be come the Governor of his Sute or an Am bassador. Such are some of the inHutnc s that elevate the character of knives and loi'l.s.

Heating Railroad Cars by Electricity A statement has been going the rouads of the newspapers for some time that elec tricity has been applied successfully as a heating medium at tne iioiei ivieu iiobj.iuu in Paris, and it i3 said the other large hos pital of that city will be warmed by it in stead of coaL Th Wflliinrrton Republican says: "Of course we know nothing of the apparatus by which this result 13 accomplished in Paris, but we had the opportunity of wit nMTif on Wednesday last at tho Winter buildics, the experiments of Dr. Leigh Bur- ton in applying electricity for warming rail'oadcars, which were entirely success ful and satisfactory. The invention con sists of a chain made up of alternate ob- Etrnctions and free conductors, arrangea compactly by being re flexed in grooves.and the apparatus covered by a metallic plate and placed in front of each set, in order that the leet 01 passengers maj ieoi, them. When a current of electricity is sent through these heaters it is obstructed by the intervening non conductors, of small diameter, and the evolution of heat is the result;. and cfter the chain has be nm warm, the heat is radiated to the metallic plate.

Billiards in England—The Largest Break on Record. The Bucks (Eugland) Herald of March 1 says: On Friday eveiiing the inhabitants of Ayieruryund its neij hboihood were ena bled to witness some ot the most brilliant playing at this fashionable game that has ever been displayed. The occasion was a grand match between W. Cook, the cham pion of England, and W. Dufton,instruetor to the Prince of Wales, and took p'ace in the Corn Exchange, which was fitted es pecially for the occasion. The seats were amphitbeatricaily arranged, which enabled ail present to witness the play advanta geously. The game took place on a new table made by Messrs. Burroughs & Watts.. The pockets were 3i inches, the bulls 2 1-6 inchts, and the spot was 12J inches lrom tho top cushion. There tv-re about two hundred present to witness the entertain ment. The match was remarkable for the wonderful break made by Cook, viz., 417, which is the largest ever made, and this splendid score included 137 of his favorite roots, which he made very quickly and with such certainty that it became almost monotonous to the unprofessional eye. The champion was recorded the winner by the large majority of 540, in an unfinished break. The champion resumed his play and made fo;ty-two more spots, but in a; tempting another left the ball lingering on the edge of the pocket - This last great break was made thus: A losing hazard off the red, followed by "pot ting" the red, making six and giving him his pet stroke, from which he played the unprecedented number of 137 spots, mak ing it the largest break on record, viz., 417. Both players were loudly cheered. Xte-eania occupied exactly one hour and forty minutes, which of itself will speak for the fast play of the champion. A Young Lady's Hair Torn Out. From the Worcester Spy. A young lady by the name of Williams, employed in the hoop skirt factory of D. H Fanning, met with an accident on Fri day, by which she - lost hej. front hir, and was injured about the head.' She was down upon the floor, engaged in cleaning up around a revolving shaft which runs under a table or bench, and a lew hairs on the front of her head got eutaigled and wound up with the shaft without her knowledge, until so muck of it had caught tuat she could not free herself. Her cries brought the other girls of the room to her aid, and while some of them were engaged in try ing to throw off the belt that turned tha shaft, one, with quick thought as to what mnst be done, seized a knife and cut off the bair before it had torn the poor girl's scalp off though it had raised it up in an nly manner, and drawn her head so near that a set-screw struck her on the face at each revolution and cut a bad gash. She was taken to her home on JSouthbriilge street aud medical aid procured. An East Method of Contkaction. Con gress should authorize the issue of legal tender notes timilar to those put in circu lation daring the war, and to an extent equ d to the greenbacks now in use Fay three hundred and City-six millions, haying three years to run, at six per cent These notes should be dated on the first of each month, as Lisucd, and paid out lor all dues of the government except coin ob lieMtious. uutd the entire quantity has been disposed of. They should be made conver tible, at the end of two years, iuto ten-forty bonJs at five per cent, principal and inter est payable in coin greenbacks to an equ;J amount with the compound notes to be destroyed each month until none are left This process would complete the work in thr-e years. Tue result would be, that the new cotes, being widely diffused by the disbursements of the Treasury, would fall into the hands of all classes of persons, aud those disposed to hoard them would do 60. Expeueuce has shown us, in the case of the lormer is sue, tbat these notes would rapidly tiiap pear ani be finally couveited into bonds, extraction effected iu this manner would be entirely voluntary on the part of the people, taking place only when they had a surplus of currency.

Dftitli or sir. Hulisn C. Yt rplanck. Mr. Gulian C. Ycrplanck, the well kown author, politic. and philanthropist, died at his residence in Fourteenth street this morning, in the eighty-fourth year of hi age. ... Mr. Verplanck was of an old Dutch fam ily, and was born in this city in August 1786. Before he was twelve years of age,, he entered ou a collegiate course of study in Colum! i t Co'lece, where he was cradn-j ated in 1S0L He then studied law, ra'h no a sr-iVim tlmn ns ft bnsinf-ss: and. after t,io m,co;-, tr. tho !,,, cnonf RATuril years iu travel in Europe. Upon his re lU-Ui'01V14 S.V VV -' turn he entered into pohtieal 1116 B skirmisher, and soon distinguished him self bv some pamphlets of temporary in erest; bat still more by an address, before the Historical Society of Isew lork, on "The Early European Friends of America, which was publisl ed in 1818. In in 1820 Mr. Yer planck was a member of tue state le's atuTfc; and was mwtfcj chairman ol the coui'nittee on rjaucauon. A year later, he accepted the. clmir of thr Evidences of Christianity in the Theolot. ical Seminary of the Protestant Episcopal chunm in this city; and in lo2l pn bushed the results of his professional studies in a volume of "Essays on thexsature and uses of the Various Evidences rf Kevealed Ke ligion," the style of which was much ad mired. In the following year, Mr. Yerplanck i work on contracts appeared. It is a curi ous discussion on the verge between law and morals, acd including many applica lions of the principles of both; under the title, "Essay on tha Doctrine ot Uontracts, beina an inqnirv how contracts are affect ed, in law and morals, by concealment, error or inadequate price. In IS'Jo Mr. VerpiancK was elected to Congress from this city, and held his seat for eight years. He identified himself with the principle of protecting the rights of authors by laws, and took a prominent part in promoting the copyright act of 1831. It was m a measure, as a recognition oi nis services in this respect that many literary men joined in a i ublio dinner to him at the close of the session of CoDgress. During his Congressional service he had leisure to pursue his own literary nsies; and in concection with JUessrs. w. U. Uryant and K. C. Sands he pu'ihnhed for three years an annual called "Ihe Talisman, contein irg prose and vers-e, which was afterwards republished under the title ot "ilibcelia- nies. ' Mr. Verplanck aho published a col lection of hi8 own addresses in 18JJ. In 1814 Mr. Yerplanck began to publish in numbers aq edition of Shakspeare, a re vised text, with rotes written under his supervision, which was completed three years Jater. In several minor literary labors, as a member for many years of the . .- ... State Senfite, aad as the first president of the Stite Board of Commit6ior.ers of Lm: cration. Lis active mind found constint employment. After his active life had in most respects ceasud. he continued to act as president of theCenturv Club, of which he had been one of the founders, and in which ke never ceased to take a lively in terest Mr. Varp'anck was Yice-Chancellor of the Ur.'iversity of the tt.te, and has heid the t.flie'e of Benefit fr forty one years, having succeeded ilntthew CiarVson, who had filled the same place for forty years. In the death of Mr. Yerplanck the conn try has lost one of its most accomplished scholars one of its abkst writers, ard one of its wisest ft ueui;;a. Tho greater part of his lil.3 has been devotd iu some way, either as au aut hor or as a legislator, or sa a public oHicer i'i an a'litinistrative capaci ty, to labors which eoDteni plated the public good. His few public addresses are among the finest of their kind; his rork on the Evidences of the Christian lleligion is one of the ablest treatises which hue appeared on that sutj.-ct, and his book on the Doc trine of Contracts is at least creditable to hid s ill as a rer.soucr, and to the value placed by him on a scrupulous and high toned integrity in matters of trade. He was one of our best prose writers, and, if he had addicted, hiaself more sedulously to lit;rary pursuits, would have won for himself a . distinguibhed name in the lifvrp.tnro cf hi time. Although taking a decided part in politics, and sev eral times a mt mber of Congress and the state Se-nate, he never stooped to any of the arts by whie-h niouina'ions are obtained and elections carried. What public trust was given him wiis simply a tribute to his acknowledged merit. Although his man ners were quite undemonstrative, his per sonal attachments were shown to be strong by tho services which he quietly and silently rendered to his friends. He was sincere and outspoken iu his opinions, and never abstained lrom their full expression by any fear of unpopularity. For more than half a century he has been one of the ornaments of the public aud social life of New York, and we cannot but feel that notwithstanding the great age to which his life was prolonged, with some infirmities iu its latter stage, his removal is a loss not to be eatiiy supplied. X. Y. Post, 19th. a How Much Should Mothers be Doctors! - The old adage, "every man to his trade," ba- a sharp value and something of the old Anglo-S.ixon ring. But in the sub-division cf 1 ibor, incident to civilization and refinement, every mother btcomes a nurse. If not always practically, yet always theo retically, and though in some cases 6he may delegate the office to her husband, yet the supreme authority vests in her, and in an mer?ency "the crptain takes the helm." If the mother is always nurse, she is also always more or less the doctor. She decides whether the little one is 6ick, and at the moment prescribes rest and ab stinence, "enstor-oil and quietude," or her hot tea, or other iavorito mixture. Usually the mother is successful. Her intuitism, keen perception and ready adaptation of meaus to ends, reneler her generally a safe adviser in these matters. Sometimes she is at fault, and her liability to error is pre cisely in the ratio of her want of informa tion. Given a fair amount of knowledge, which many women attain by sheer expe rience a modicum of good common sense, and a little magnzine ot 6imple curatives and her success in keeping the little ones well almost surpasses comprehension. Tbe question is not shall mothers pre scribe for their children. This they have done, and always will do. The only ques tion is shall th-y do it intelligently, and with remedies that only cure and cannot harm, or ignoraLtly and oftentimes with very crude and un.-afo means We are led to these remarks by seeing one of Dr. Humphrey's admiriUo cases of Homoepftthi5 sVernth'S fjr family use.

On Saturday, late in the afternoon, it began to snow very fast, and on I Sunday morning the snow was eight or ten inches deep, the heaviest single fnowfallof I 1L . W 1 the season.

In the mid.et of the Saturdaji storm we had a catasirophe, which camo near being a tragedy, wmch ws repeated not by request late in the evening. For a vear and a half he city and county have been building two wings to t ne Oiit tourt iicuse at a cos or oyer ksuu.uuu. At a quarter past one o'clock on Saturday afternoon tho greater portion or tne roor or tne west wing feu in, injuring eight workmen in tbe rooms below, two of them seriously. At 4$ p. m. a meet ing of the Mayor, Common Council. Building Committee, aud Board of Public Works was held, to investigate the cause of the accident, at which meeting Mr. Rose, the architect, assured the meeting that the roof of th other (east) wing was perfectly safe. Bnt at half-past eleven that night the east roof fell in with a crash that was heard half a mile, with a rumbling sound liks thunder. A com mittee of investigation has been appointed to examine aud report on the matter, and, strange to say, four of this committee are architectswho have professionally eudortfd the work as safe alter examination, and some of these spoke contemptuously of inJi -idua's nd newspapers for suggesting fears that the building was unsafe. One of t hese, after cer tifying tothe supervising architect that there we're "no indications of instability in any part of th structure" added: "Trustinsr that you will hereafter treat item-gatherer for nr papers with the eon' empt they dexerve, I remain truly yours, John Bl. Van Osdel." I name Mr. 6. because not knowing his animus to ward newspaper men, I have recently epokoo of him as architect of one of the finest blocks of Chicago. Another architect concluded lus certirica'e in this wise: "Iaffiim that the building will stenJ a tasting monument, pointing with scorn to the bare falsifications uttered so ve- mentlybvafew over-eelous, bieoted in dividuals, who report that it is in dancer of laliinsr. lone alter their remains lay moulder ing in the dust and their names have passed into oblivion." iwo other professionals rive similar testimony, one of them declaring that he "conldnt see how the cracks in the inte rior walls (which had given rise to apprehen sion and criticism) could work any injury to tho building." He can now probably xee how :t KwHreo. At least the public can. The loss is said to be 120,000. THE OLD COURT HOUSE seems to have been endangered by the set tling of the walls of the nw wings, and a meeting of the judges and of the lawyers t racticirtr in the courts in this county has been called to determine whether it is safe to transact business hereafter in the old court house. FARMING—HOW TO INSURE GOOD CROPS. As the season of seeding approaches the moit important question with farmers, is, how to make thpir fields produce the bpfc crops at the least exoense. Tho diminishing yield per I 're of cereals, roots and grasses, eTnse-qnnt on the exhauetion of the soil by contiTiued cropping, has led all intelligent farmers to the conviction that the onlv wav to restore their farms to thir original fertility is to return to them, in some shape, tho elts menU of which they have been deprived. Every crop of wheat or other grain., or -rape taken from the soil dimininbes its orodutiveness becanse it takes from it por- ions of those elements essential to tho rowth and m-itunty of perfect crop And f this process is continued long eiiough, the oil becomes wirn out and worthless. Many if the carlv settlers of the west, especially on prairie iarnin, imiuui me huh inexnaiiM- - - a .LI .1.1 .1 :1 r . , . ble, and were in tne nDit or burning their straw, as a useless incumbrance. Manure was not thought worth the trouble of carting the fields; for why should soil already rich nough be rurthfor enriched, lint a lew years experience or impoverished soil has taught them the great law that the only way to make or keep the soil fertile is to return to it, in some form, the constituent elements drawn from it that they must give bt k to it what they take from it. Tho chief exports of the west are the eereais, beer and pork, which rcb the soil of phosphates and other lenients necessary to th growth ot good crops. w neat tue leading crop is the most exhaustive. Every year tho wheat belt is movincWestward; Western New York. Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, owa anu aunneHuia, exe-u m mm presenin.g he same spectacle ot exhausted wheat fields. the vi&ld rtr acre diminishing to two-thirds. une-half, or one-third the original prodnet, as the rroces of repeated cropping contin ues. I hange, rest and rotation of crops will o something, but there is only one method f making worn out or unproductive lands fertile, and that is to impart t the soil the lements essential to the vigorons growth of plants. For von can no more mcke a plant han an animal grow witnout its appropriate XKl. mere is one source ot manniiai sup ly greatly neglected by Western Hrmers be bones and offal of auimals. England ends across the Atlantic and gathers no the bones of our animals and converts them into bone dust to enrich her .fields. The Ea-t, too. wiser in this respect than the West. draws largely upon this snpply, and if tho six thousand tons of BAUGH'S RAW BONE SUPER-PHOSPHATE. mannfactured yearly by the Xorth-Western Fertilizing Company of this city, from the bones and blood of the alanghler-houes the product of Western farmers the greater part is shipped East, at a high price, including freight a most unnatural direction, when it is so much needed at home. Five hundred pounds of this Phosphate is worth thirty loads of stable manure. A ton costing 45 auals 120 loads and will suffice for five or six acres, and will more than repay its cost the firut yea. I used a ton of it last year on an f ere of grapes and five acres of heat seede'd to clover, and it wronght wonders. The wheat crop was excellent, the clover superb. The grape vme-e last set made a remarkably vigorous growth. I also used 100 lbs. on my garden ot 20 square rods, an4 the product was so unnsml as to xe-ite the remarks or ail tne nrignbors. it is the cheapest fertilizer for its intrinsic alue. has a laicer per cent, ot ammonia, and its phosphate is a'.l derived from the bones of animals. Sot a ton of it should go east. THE PROGRESS OF CIVILIZATION shown not more by the quality of tho gar ments we wear man by ttio style and mate rial of the dishes from which we eat. Wealth and refinement create new uses and make new demands, and supply always follow de mand. The improvements fn convenience aiid comlort of household utensils, especially those belonging to tho culinary depart ment, sincn my remembrance, is very great. An inspee-tion of the leading wholesale croe-k-ery houses in Chicago would surprise one un acquainted with the extent and charact rof this trade whie-h keeps pace with the advanc ing prosperity of tho country and wou.d sat isfy tna nioet m&tiiuous that there is no need going tisewiieio lor el--gaiit and costly ware; that the rich and the poor can here meet and bo saU.tied, and that while common area can VP had in tho crcatest abundance t the lowest prices, the richest and most aristocratic can here find a dih fit to set be fore a king. The sor.g of the blackbirds oc curred to me while looking through tho lead ing wholesale stole of IRA P. BOWEN & CO. importers and jobbers of crockery, trlassware, lamp"., ami K"roseuo goodj, at 107 Wabsi-h avenue. Their new store of s:x stories Is fiil- 1 with the larzest stock of domestic and foreign goods of the latest styles aud be-t qualities. As they import their own goods, easterners can purchase coods here in ontri- nal packages. Their lamp department is vcry.large. Th y have 250 different kinds of lamps, many of them of the moi-t elegjnt patterns. With tho sagacity and enterprise ot yomig men the class who have made Chicago believing la quick sales and small profit, and in giving every purchaser his money's worth, and determined to lead in their line of goods, they offer tho most de sirablo bargains ta the trade of the Northwest. A SUPERVISOR IN TROUBLE. J. earney, chairman of tho Board of Supervisors for Cook county, has been inves tigated by his fellow supervisors, and asked to resign as chairman, because he received a lot of land for his vote and influence in locating the normal school at Knglewood. He has refusH to resign, and he Is now charged SDcitJcally with receiving money for his vote, etc., in addition to the land, aud is to be further investigated . The Board are in very bad odor, and eaat well afford to keep fellowship with those proved to have received bribes.
