The attondance was not large, meither was tho hail very attractive, being practically devoid of light and as cold as the weather would permit. Ald.

To the report to that effect made in Txe Tals- oNE, Mr. John O'Neill, City Oil Inspector, took exception, and maintained in a communication to the paper that_the tests were not properly made. He agreed to make a test of the oils himself before the Board of Underwriters, and it was done yesterday, with the same results produced by P’rof. Lambert.

One of the best conductea charitable institn- tions in thie cityis Mercy Hoepital, located at the corner of Twenty-mxth street and Calumet ave- pue. There seems to bea popular beliof that ‘hospitals are only dezigued forthe caxe of the indigent. This is mot the case. While tho Sisters of Mercy are trly hospit- able and ready 0 assist gratuitously those who ars especialiy unfortunate, they yeb require a fair romuneration from those who are abls to pay for their services. They Lave always apartments that are comfortablo sod ventilaed in accordance with the most scientiflc priociples for tho uso of freo patients, upon whom they be- stow the same attention and suxions solicitndo given to those who pay the highest _price. But they aro at great expenso In maiutaining the in- stitution, and therefore are spIious to receive patients who are able to pay sometaing towards its eupport. Gentlemen of the best standing have heretofore availed themselves of the de- cidedly valuable treatmont of the medical corps Sttached to the Hospital, and have been highly gratified with thelr oxporience. Especially can the institutien be recommended to those who are suffering from habiis of intemperanco. The Hospital can scommoddate sbout 309 pa- tients, thoso with meaus beiug assigned to the most commodious and best private furnished rooms, and treated to the finest delicactes tust the market aifords, provided they are conaistent wich the patients’ health. All contagious dis- enses are rigidly excluded fiom the hospital. The location 18 near the lako shore, and 83 Lealtny a8 soy part of tho city. The grices, in- clading overything except extra med:csl ap- parazus, range from $5 to £15 a week, aecording 10 tho style of the room occupied. A NABROW LSCAPE. Speech is silvoin, silence goidon.

Sl A SERIOUS CHARGE. . A PROMINENT DRI-GOODS FIEN ACCUSED OF DLACEMAILING A FEMALE EMPLOYE. A rather eengational bill in o small way was filed Saturdsy by Elizabeth M. Thompson against C. M. Hotchkin and Eugene P. Palmer. The complainant states that in the snmmer of 1373 Hotchkin, Palmer & Co. applied to ber, sho being a skilled dressmakor, to take cbarge of their dressmaking department. They promised thot sae should have the sole management _cr that depariment, and that she shonld hava lib- erty to do all necessary work for hemel_r 2o0d dangliter, and occasionaliy .s0mo friead, io tho some mazner 28 though sho was doing business alone. Thoy also represented that thoy (?n|y wished that dspartmout to bo self-sustaising, and did not expect to make mouey outof 1t farther than to stunulato au increzsod esle of dressmaking materialy. - She Accord:ngly on- tered their employ in_Septomber, 1873, and threw all ber patronage info theic hands. Her kil and taate wore §0 satisfactory that, in June, by, which sho should remein another vear, or until tus spring of 1875, when she contemplatod going California, and at that time she was again lo- duced to stay still longer, TIn June, 1375, the firm, learning that shs was diesatisfied at the troatment some of her custom- ora had received from thom in the way of ovarcharges, charged her with having exposed their method of doing businoss, aad charging for things which had not boon doliverad. Sho 9 admitted that shs had done so, and claimod that sho had repoatedly made up to her customers their ov reharges in order to retan such pstrens. They then charged her with swiudling and etealing, and spocttically aliogod toat she bad made dresses for har danzhter aand one or &wo friands, and had used the firm's material. She, in_turn, clsimed that sbe had o rizht to make ber daughser's dressess withoat chacge, but proved that shehad used . hor own minterials in tbem. They thoa took hor into s crivate room aud’. attompted to frighten har into silerco in rozard’to thoir al- leged crooked deslags.

Rathor thansafer tho diszrace of beingac- cused of theft. the complamaut states, sho was induced to make a note for €539, solaly oa ao- connt of the ihreats of Hotehkin & Palmar, ‘which note was mado June 30, 1875, 2nd payablo in weekly installments of 910, end she wag then released from the room. Vheo sbe bad paid 20, nowever, sho declined to stay longer in their employ than to the ond of tho season, and they thereupon discharged her paremptorily. Soon aftor shat she received a notice from a lawyer who raid he hed received her note for $5uD for collection. She now charges that ehe foars the defendants will cranefer the notae to some inoocent party, 8o that bor defense to it will be cut off, and sho will be oblized to pay it. She therefors praya that an injunction mav be issued restraining Messrs. Hochkin & Palmer from selling or otharwise disposing of the note, that they may be comoelled to surrender it to her, and also repay the &20 she has paid them. : —_— EDWIN AND ANGELINA, THEY ARE “‘SURPRISED" ON THE ANNIVERSABY OF THEIR WEDDING. Edwin and Agelina were married two years on Thursday. Abont Tuesday Edwin received in- formation, from & source which left little doubt in hie mindas to its accuracy, to the offect that the Vigilantes of Rogers Park were about to pay him a visit. Accordingly he sent to town for bis gister-in-law, Florence, a girl of singular intre- pidity and presence of mind. She went out on the funeral ‘rain on Wednesday, and the devoted family at once made all preparations that wero possidle to receive the sarprise party. . . . Jus after dark the Vigilantes, to tho numboer of somo thirty, accompanied by two fiddlers and armed with jelly-csko, cold ronst tarkey, chichen-galad, Bourbon whisky, rolls, jce-cream, ham, preserves, sandwiches, oranges, and other deadly weapons, et out on their noc- turnral mission. 1t was cloud.y and one of tha party carried a dark-lantern, which was provi- dentisl becsuse Edwin's homs lies at some littlo distauce from that centre of civilization, the depot, and the streots are very rongh in places. When they reached ‘‘Sweet Home,” Ldwin's residence, they were pleased to find the housein perfoct sileace and darkoess. ‘T tell, you boys,” said one of the leaders, ‘‘this is a reg'lar surprise, they don’t expect us no omore than mothing.” Since those cows broke into bis front yard and licked all that patent whitowash mixed with salt off of the railings Edwin has kept the front gate nailed up, €0 the rigilantes had to go round to the side- door, 8o they clattered along the plaok-walk ana smote vehemently ot the door, Receiving no roply, and the housa remaining in darkness aad silonce, thay. smose vehemently at the door again, and one of ths party, who knows where Edwia sleeps, cast the vivid glare of his dark lantern on the bedroom window. Tho effect was electrical, The sash was thrown up and Edwia's face appeared. *-Hello!” he cried, *‘who's that?” *It's us,” they all replied, ‘‘and we'va come over——"_ *‘I seo, I gee,” he shouted ; “ihin in indeed ncighborly. TFiro! Fire!l Fire!!!" and Iike lightning he disappeare: Meanwhils the Vigilantes had effeoted a lodg. ment on the side-stoop. A fat, olderly lady with o tin-can full of ico-cream fn ono hand and n roast turkey under her arm, was just opposite ths door; & plump married womaa of middle age had sat down oo the top step, and placed a cocoanut ¢cake beside her, and two young con- spirators were flirting at the bottom of tho flight, when the door was thrown opes. ** We'll wave thig first,” cried Edwin, a8 ho pushed out through the portal a long kitchen table, oa whieh were soveral stove jars and a big iron pot rail of digh-water, The fat, elderly lagy liad just timo to chango front and retiro by sections, and foll back in a confused mass, aod-sat down on the heed of the plump middle- aged married womap, vainly endeavoriog to tind rest for the sole of her foot in tho cocosnut cake. The tabla bore on inexoraoly and, with a shriek, the tat elderly lady threw a handspring beckwards down the steps, falling upon the voung Iady lover and crushing poor Susan ns lat es o book-marker, while she hit the young gontleman lover ovor the head with o three- quart pail of ice-cream. The plnmp middle- aged woman bad risen to fly when tho tabla caught her io tho small of the back. bowling her over hke a nioc-pin. She made a tremendous spring through tho air and fit on a couple of voung men who went to ocarth with 3 dull thud, and ero they could disentangle themsolves tho big table, iron pot. and stone jars camo ricocheting dowa the steps and ground them to atams. Angelina’ 2t this momoat. threw up the bedroom windos, and, sholly crying ‘‘Casch this!” flung out a bedroom set. It fell upon o group of voung ‘mon, most of whom were named Jim, and abol- ished them from the face of the earth, the jug rebotmdiog and flooring a fiddler, wao tumbled u{:an his musical instrumwent with a fearful crash of »pliutenug wood and enayping caigus. The chief conspirator with the dark-lanern and wome of his friends, finding their retreat in this direction cnt off, atole round by the other sido of the houee and clambered alongz the fence. But the vigilant sister-in-law saw tne gleam of tbo dark-lsatern, and erying alond: “I see the flames, Edwin, but don't be slermed—I'll pui them out,” launched a pail-full of water on the fagitives. Tue bucket shipped frem ber hand and bit the man with the dark-laotern oo the head justas Lie bad draan his revolver to shoot Edwin down, and the weapon was discharced et random, the oall taking ths second fiddier under the coat- tai, ntlicting = paiotul but not necesearily fatal wound. Br this time the Vigilantes were routed end in faltretreat, and the victorious garrison sailied forth totind the battle-field abandoned and strewn with fiddles, fruit-cakes. cream- freczers, preserves, sandwiches, pickles, cold fowls, awitches, genl-skin caps, etc., efc. . . .
