X i BECURING THAT SALARY, Col, Oleary says that this monoy is due him as’ salary; that, if ho doos not get it while he holds it in "his hands, he may whistlo for it. .The Town of Bouth Ohicago boing ' heavily in_ dobt, thego orders which he holds may not be re- doomod for yours, \ithont expressing ' any opinion ns to the ‘propriety of his course it is vory plain that the only chianco of his getting his monoy is to do just what hois dning; Col. Olenry fools oxcoedingly irritated at this suit, not only on account of the xumors to which it gave rise, but because Thursdsy Mr, .Miller told bhim that ho would lot the matter go until Mr. Crulfiold, Mr, Cloary's lawyor, had roturned from 8t, Louis.

I have, in my mind's eyo, a way to utilize that property, fortho bonefit of tho largest number of rosidents.’ How would it do, mow, to cover thowo places with coloseal buildings, for tho ro— coption -of families, and- singlo persons, and business firms? Thousands of our citizous, now poorly housod, might establish thomsolves -in oue or wo mngnificont structures by combin-~ ing thoir means and chartering the ground and the advantages of thio position. For thosnke of & grand, cosmopolitan, if not & puroly co-opora- tivo, accomplishment of that kind, the requisite spaco would doubtloss bo sold at very ronsonable {igures, and proparations for building at an early period bo enterod upon. _A large number, intor- entod in'onjoying splondid quarters .aud valua- blo educative and social advantages,’. would onch contributo towards'tho gonoral and por- ticular purpose, 'and tho largest results woukd thus bo uou\_upfl at vory much less expenso than for each individual or soparato family to install itsolf in a honso on the plan of isolation. A thousand persons can live comforably and bappily in a singlo palace, and yot bo faitly iso- lated in goparate suites of rooms, One fire will warm & multitude, one lot will hold thom,—it ia a8 easy to buy provikions for & thousand as for a tamily of half-a-dozen. - In short, if the peoplo would dwoll in King's palaces, lot thom ndopt tho plan—thoe only plan among] men—whoreby thoy can accomplish the abjoct.
