The Professor sud he supposed the limbs in this case wers the low- er extremities, for Job speaks of the moon as +walking in darknees.” The reply. for an im- prompta, was very nest. Three young girls of Greenfield, Mo., who set fireto the Mcullen school-house last April, ‘were up for trial at the October term of ocourt. Oneof them was sentenced to two hours in jail, one turned State’s evideace, and the third, who pleadod not guilty, was bound over to the mext term of court. They are botwcen 14 and 15 years of age. The local prinis refer to these hardened characters as “ young ladies.” The Englieh Bishop of Ripon refused to allow the words ** Beguiescat in pace ” to be placed on a tombstone in a church-yard in his. diocese. Mr. David Hoyle, of New York, preferred the re- quest, and the Bishop in rofusing it expressed his extreme regret at not being able to cotpiy. His reason was that the words are generally held to be a prayer for the dead, which all true Prot- estants believe is unavailing and inappropriate. An fateresiing event took place st Oxford University oo Oct. 20, when Mr. Goschen, who was First Lord of the Admirelty in Mr. Glad- stone’s Cabinet, was admitted to the two do- greesof B. A. and M. A. at once. He went through the regular courso ot the University twenty-five years ago, and at the final examuna- tions took a First Claee, but did not then take his degres becauso the religious tests as that time required were 100 strict for him as & Dis- senter 10 subscribe to. An editor in Marshalltown, Ia, who scems by bis works to be a brave fellow, writesof & contemporary at Eldora in the following terms : “*The last Eldora Zedger, the cess-pool of El- dora vileness,—the slum-gatherer of loathing nastiness and obscenity,—emarged from the bed of rottenness into which 1t bad been plunged by ita insane editor (poor Bob) last week, reeking with the vilest ravings of a disordered brain pos- sible to conceive of, and surprising to all well- disposed sane persons. Some rude boys broke into the hall of the Vincennes Spiritual Associstion, where Mr. Green was giving seances, and captured the fol- lowing articles, viz.: Ono trap-door throngh which tho epirits passed upward in their flight; one rope-ladder on which the spirits ascended and descended; also two ladiea’ dress-skirts used by the epirit forms when they desired to appear in respectable society. Mr. Green was bronght to grief by the unexpected exhibition of these articlos at his last seance. Naehvillo has had a smiliog contest, a8 oa ad- junct to a Presbyterian charch fair. There wera thres competitors, young men, and a judgs to decide which of them smiled most sweetly. Three trials were had, the contestants standing on 2 platform in full view of the assembly, with o strong light thrown on their faces. Louis Tallichet was the winner of tbe prize, which was ths privilege of kissing any one of the girls at- tending the candy counter, where tho prettiest daughters of the church were engsged. Eato Field, not a mighty critic, takes an unfa- vorsble view of Holman Hunt's *S8hadow of Death.” Her objection to the painting is that it is realistio to the verge of distraction and un- sympathetic in tone. Tne Shadow of Death, it will be remembered, is the picture made by the shadow of Jesus, in te living-room of bis boy- hood, of the cross and the crucifixion, The de- tails of the pictare, and especially the anstomy of Jesus, Miss Field thinks, are marvelous. Buat an ounce of imagingtion—to her at least—is not worth a ponnd of realism. The method of the famous professional rat- catcher, Dick Toner, bas been described by sn Esstern newspsper. He catzhes rats in hotels and sisnghter-houses, or in private houses, by chirruping for them, and then throwing tho strong glaro of a dark lantern in their eyes. One night at the Astor House he caught 350 rats, and he can take conntless numbers at any slaughter- house. The rats eell for £20 per 100 to baiting establishments. Dick says that rats livingin granaries are not poisonous, but those which feed on refuso master inflict pamnful, sometimea serions, wounds. ¢ Mr. W. W. Story'a new play, *Nero,’ * is dedi- cated to Mrs. Kemble. He says in the notice of dedication that the play waa written in the sum- merof 1872, and remained in his desk until the winter of 1873-'74, when he was encouraged by Mrs. Kemble, after a private reading, to print it. The New York Post, which has recently under taken to review Mr. Storv'a effort at tragedy, de- cides that it is respoctable,—bighly respectable, —*but lacking in the final merit of real dramatic power.” Poppea is not represented in the play as cruel and abandoned, bat as a gentle and mor- c:ful, if somowhat weak avd vain, person; and we gather from other sousces that she is a favor- ite historical character of Mr. Story. Prof. Proctor is to deliver four Sunday lec- tures in Boston. Ina card to the mowspapers bhesays: *Iwish to indicate the relation of modern astronomy to the great questions at present sgitsting the scientific and religions world. It has pechaps become manifest toread- ers of my latest works on science that I view these questions differently now than a few years or even a yesr or two ago. My present position bas indeed been reschod by progress in ove direction il the time. The views I now enter- tain on such subjeots as the plurality of worlds, cosmic evolution, the supervision and control of the universe, the infinities amidst which we are placed, and g0 forth, are altogether unlike thoss which I indicated in my *Other Worlds than Ours,’ and othérs of my earlier works.” The piano-manufsctarers are baving another pretty row over Von Bulow. The Chickerings snd the Steinways have each a hall in New York. Yon Bulow uses the Chickering piano just as Rubinstein and many others used the Bteinway. Von Bulow cannot play as he would like toin Steinway Hall with a Chickering piano. Tho Chickerings, however, offer to let their ball without regard to the instruments that may be ‘used on the premisea. 1tis a very nasty sort of quarrel as it stands. Eminent musicians from abroad wonld consult their dignity and repnta- tion by refusing to assist in any of these miser- able sdvertising schemes. Persons of common wense will view with more than ordinary sus- vicion all indorsements of musical instruments by professional artists until the present ussge is discontinued.

Blan A GREAT CORPORATION. What the City Railway Company Has Been Doing the Past Year. The Wabash Avenus Line Our Greatest Internal Improvement Sincs the Great Fire. A Description of the Magnificent Cars Being Placed on the Avenue. The Handsomest Uars Ever Bun on Any Strest in the World In no respect is the prosperity of Chicago more clearly sbown than in the remarkable 1m- provements during the past year of the City TRatlway Company 1a the extension of tho tracks, the constraction of new and elegant cars, and the provision of facilities for comfortable travel, which the patrous of street-car lines do not often enjoy. Since the rebuilding after tho great fire no one thing has contributed more to the growth of the Scuth Division than the re- ‘paving of Wabash avenue and the placing of street-cars on that great thoroughfare. On this account, and in order to lay before the readers of Tae TrmUNE a statement of the work that has been accomplished in this direo- tion ducng the past few. months, a vepre- sentative of thus paper yesterday paid s visit 1o the goneral ottices. the stables, and the con- structionshops recently erected by the Company. Yery few people have & correct understanding of the LAEGE ANOUNT OF CAPITAL EMPLOYRD in this single branch of our intramural transit system, or what ertensive snd never-ending outlsys aro pecessary in order to keep the varions lines in good condition for nse, and, wo might add, what a continual drain there is upon the inveutive facuities of the officors that the public may be served Lo their satisfaction and with profit. This i8 especially onerous in the case of tho City Rsilway Company of Chicago, for there probably cannot be found & street car company anywhere which has to serve FEOFLE §0 DIVERSE in their habits sod conditions of life a3 nde upon the various lines of City Railyay Compaoy. One line passes through the most sristocratic portion of Clucago, over streets walled 1n with palaces of marble and brick, where wealth is the rule sud moderate competence the oniy exception, Ab- other lme reaches the most -densely populated portion of the aity, inbabited by Jaboring people and the rough element. Between theae sxirenies there iaa section iuhabited by people in mode- 1ate circnmstances. and here, too, the City Rail- way Company has one of its lines. The reader oy well imiagino that to conserve the interesta and accommodate each -of these Classes isno easy task for the otlicers of the Company. If their patrons wera all of one ciass, there wonld be no difficulty. If all were of the wealthy or midle classes, one kind of cars and conductors would sugwer for all. Or, if ouly laboring peo- ple had to be accommodated, there would be no difficulty. THE ANNOYANCES WNICH THE COMPANY HAS HAD TO OVERCOME will be readily understood and apprecisted by all ‘who bavo been accustomed to ride on the South Side oars prior to the opening of the Wabash avenne line. Ladios can testify to the ruin of their clegant dresees by contact with the un- clesnly sitire of careless packing-house ployes, and many gentlemen will rememoer ba |10g to submit to insults from intoxicated Toughs, or invite s flsticaff in & crowded car. These couflicts between the classos were una-~ Yoidable, and although the Company sought by changiog the etyle of the cars and running them oftener 10 obviate the difficulty, it never fully succeeded until the Wabashavenue lins was apened. p The City Bailway Compsny was the FIRST T0 LAY DOWN & TIACK IN THE STREETS OF CRICAGO. ‘There are many peoplo living in Chicago now who can remember with what exclamations of joy the inhabitants of the more soutberiy T.or tion of the Soatn Diviston heiled the copstruo~ tiou of the line down State street to Twenty- second street. We do not design to follow the copstruction of the various lines of this com- pauy year by yeor as they were laid down, but e will say that the Company has ever been on the alert to accommodate the people of tue Sonth Division, and whewever there has_been & demand for a new hine, as in the case of Wabash avenus, or for the extension of an existing line, the Compoany has always been resdy to mest it. The Coitage ve, Indiana avenus, State stroet, snd Archer avenue lines are lopger than the lices of eitber of tbe other railway com- pasies. They extend south trom Lake strect istance of from 414 1o 5 miles, which gives the passenger a longer ride for his nickel than he can go: on any other streev-car line in this country. THE OPENING OF THE WABASH AVENUE LINE was in compliance with the general demand from the poople residing on that thorougnfare, and on the tine avenues to the eastward. The task of buiding and equipping 2 miles of double track is o ordinary one, 1t calls for an enormous ont- 18y of capiial. Realizing that this line would be paironized by the very best peonle of Chicago, Do expense was spared to make it worihy of their patronage, sod, in order that the public might be accommodated, Cars Were run imme- distely, and have contioned to run ever since, notwithstanding the repaving of the avenue hes occasioned much addibional annoyance and expense. Now that tbe repaving is mearly or quito complete, there is & smooth unbroken line of 2miles over the finest avenus in the world. PASENGERS BY THIS LINE cannot heve failed to notice the elegance of the cars which have been put upon it. Their equal cannos be seen iu Chicago, and it is doabtful if street-cars of eaperior construction can be found anywhere. They ate twenty in number, and were built by J. M. Joves & Co., of West Troy, N. Y., and John Stephenson & Co., of New York, who siay thoy are the nneat ever turned out of their shovs. A lady may enter them withoat fear of soiling heF garments, for they are kept sorupulously clean. The upholstery is equal to that of the Pullman palsace car, the only differ- ence being that a street-car does not afford as good an opportunity for ornamentation, and may be less sbowy ou that account. The inside 18 finished in black walout and ash, asd trimmed with nickel platiug. Each car 18 provided with 1 lantern-dome, A RECERT ISVENTION, which sheds abundance of light on the interior. The cars hove the ordinsry head and end lights beaides. ’assengers can read their newspapers on these cars after dark as easly 08 they could in their own nbrary st home. ‘fhe lantern domes cost ome $200 éach—an importantitem. Another importaot purpose which they serve is to aesist people on the street to tell the stroet a car runs oo, The lantern dome from the outeide is an illuminated sign. Tho extra finish on the cers will cost fully 8500, making the cost of each cax complete about $1,500. e must not forget to mention that eachcar is provided with the Higley rauniog gear attachment, which slmost eatirely does away with the joltand jar generally inci- dent o streot-car travel. The Wabash avenus lineis largely patronized by the very best class of iadies of Chicago. fact theso cars are_the fushionahle vehicles of travel of the Sonti Division. _ IN DAYS PAST the avanue 'bus wes cousidered the only proper mesus of cheap traomt by the denizeus of the avenues to and from the business portion of the city. There was more seciusion in_them, it was thought, and less danger of conmtact with tho rough element. Now all this is changed. The ‘Wabash cars are more elegantly finished, more conveient, and {reer from _contact with roughs than the ’buses ever were. We noed not mention the preater security of the car. Runaway 'buses snd gtoflclt&d drivers were features pecaliar to the 'bus eystem. ‘The opeming of the avenue strest-car-travel, and the elegant manner in which it has been cquipped by the City Railway Compauy, is of great benefit to thereal estate interests of the Boath Division. THR COMPANY own over 40 miles of track, ran 150 cars, have 1,000 h sud cany on au averago 40,000 pas- sepgers daily. Cars leave Lake strest Guring the morning and ovening hoars, when travel is groatest, overy fiftecn seconda. The rest of the duya car leaves Lake street once every forty- five secortds. 5 GRUMBLERS. After considering the great responsibility s corporation assumes when it undertakes to so- commodate a section like the Soutn Divigion of Chicago, embracing upwards of 100,000 people, and “when we realize tho enormous expense attending it, We shonld have some chanty if the Compauy does not always meet the requirements of the rublicin every particnlar. Tha officers claim s sheir iutezests And she publio's interests ars identics), and that they endeavor, and always have endeavored io all cases, to accommodate their patrons. In proof of which they refer to rhe extension of their lines, the building of new lines, and to tho excellent equipmant of all thair lines. There atwaya will be grumblors to com- pian of street-cars and streat~car compantes. It 18 a favorite sabject with certain peopla who are chronic gumblers. S0, no matter what efforts tbe City Rulway Company make for the accom- ‘modation of the public, they cannot expect to please everybody.

A Qommunity which Seems to Admire a Really Good Article, A Baunter Among the Best Estab- lishments. It in no easy thiog to enumerate all the many virtues of & good cigar. Writers have attemptod many times. They have told what a consoler it ia in affliction, what a comfort in sickness, what a fmhtnl companion in distress, but they io- variably end with the brond generalism that it 18 & balm to every grief and the partner of every joy. To those who have never experienced the great pleasure there is in the moderate nse of the fragrant weed, this tnbute of praise may Beem extravagant, but to the avarage emoker, a3 he quetly enjoys his evening Vartaga aud lightly puffa away the cares and anziety “of the day, no language seems too strong with which to pronounce its eunlogy. It 13 Lardly necessary for us to add thet thera is 8 vaat diferenca in cigars, and consequen:ly a difference in the degree of enjuyment the use of the articles afford. Aduiteration of lats years has entered into almost evers_article of man: facture, g0 much 80 that it is difficult to obtain anything pure. Tha same mey ba said of cigars, 8s'of arnicles of food. Certain manufactarers, in order to reduce the price of their goods, em- Pploy tho poorer quauties of tobsceo in the man- ufacture of cigars, and, by means of chemicals, try to give them the sppearaace and flavor of the beat. quality of goods. Taoere is a certain class of trade utterly mdiscrimiosting and des- titate of good taste that'will buy thesa cigars be- causo theyare chesp. To thia we raise no ovjection although we will predict that theso people who, are content to smoke poor cigazs would find it economy of healtu and doctor’s billsin the end it they were to use only the best brands, tha: is to 8ay. the pure leaf-cigars, unconterminated with chemicals, _ Up to the me of the great fire there was vory tittle dono in this city in the way of the adalter- ation of cigars and tobacco. Nocity on the con- tinent could boast more reputable cigar dealers or u better quality of cigors in the market. This was because Chicago people had good judgmont and a diacnmlnnllr;fi taste in such matters. "They could tell & 4ood cigar from a poor one on sight, and it was raioous to the business of any dealer who would offer for sale anything below tho popular standard of tasto. Whatever cigars wers made here of an_inforior quality were sent to other citias for sale. It is not 80 now. Our market now, as ever, is stocked with a most excellent quality of cigars, probably better than any Western city, but the mania for ** cheap " cigars which set in last June has not yet run ica course, and sundry establish- ments, together with certain drug-stores, whose intorest it is to physic the commonitp, Are en- doavoring to floca tho city with chesp trash, Aoybody,who knows the vaiue of tobscco must know that it is imposaible to make 3 good cigar for 5 cents. If tho reiuse tobacco-sialke and worthlees stuff which is thrown away by the rep- utable manufacturer is mado use of and secret- ed beneath s fair-looking wrapper, it can doubtless be sold for b cents, and the manufacturer would probably be making a £00d profit if he sells his **ch2ap” wares at any price. And this is just what thev do. The rafuse tobacco, are worked over and colored up by some process Becrat to the manufacturers, and given an artificial flavor by means of chemicals; then wrapped in a fair looking outside leaf to deccive the cye. Repuiable drug-etores, whose Imission ix is to heal and care, should have too moch re- gard for the public health to be instrumental in originating discase in this way. Theaction of certain drng-stores is the most serions phase of the subject. Everybody bas contidence in the goods sold by & drug-store, for the very nature of the business is such 28 to inspire confidance ; but with second-vlass cigar- denlers the case is different. The best class of custom will not patronize them asyway. Tho fsct that a cigar-dewler sells 5-cent cigars is evi~ dence in itself that he is & sccond-class desler, sod that his patrons are of the same grade. ‘TRIBUNE reprosontative has recently besn de- voting somo attention to the subject, and he berewith appends sowe individusl ‘mention of s pumber of teading first-class cigar-deelors of Chicago, such as J. ii. Mora & Co., of Na. 88 Medigon street ; Edwards Brothers, 275 Madison street, and the following : BEOCEWAT 4 SCHAFFNER. ‘The Grand Pacitic Hotsl has a celebrity coex- tensive almost with the crcoit of the entire globe, Hardlysecond in reputation to the hotel itself is the cigar, tobacco, and news store con- nected with 1t.
