A story of solace Of how the Customer had to pay For the Pharmacist's show-case, i 2 It fell townrds the honr of 6, There entered 2t the door A Custymer the Pharmacist ‘Had pever seen before. He was 3 zoodly man and tall, And well-dresscd, too, i'fegs, Ana, wow! bet be was the drunkest man That ever walked on legs. He was as drank ae Jords, or loons, Orfiddler's dogs might be, 'Tight 25 a brick, or as old nick, Or other simile; ‘18 tongue it was foar inches thick, Aund on his face, the waile He strove 1o frame a gentence, was A monster maudim emile. ‘And he leaned upon the g00d show-case And the Pharmacist unto ‘821G something, althoogh what it was ‘The Drugziet never knes. . . IL *‘What would yon?" said the Pharmacist. * And from a gentle sleep Awaking, ssid the Customer Atier reflection deep, Precisely what he'd eaid before, But not a whit more piain, Then leaned his head npon his arms And went o eleep amin. And while he snored a gentle snore Like an apoplectic fit, There came 2 barat of crackling sound, — That sbow-case, whers was it? . Then up and spoke the Pharmacist, *+ Hi, wake up there, Iss%, Bello, you, ho! Itell you, wake, - . And for that show-case pay,— “That show-case thou hast broken in Thy sorry drupken prank, — With red, red zold or green, greenbacks, Or potes of the National Bank." And the Costomer half wakened up, And strove to wink his eye. And said unto the Pharmacist This word, **ThashishuliriT This #2id he to the Pharmacist, And he said no less, no more, But turned him round unsteadily, And lurched towards the Goor. V. Then up and spoke the pharmacist, “*Thoa leavest not this place 7411 thon hasc paid $12 good,— The cost of this show-case.” Ana the costomer be blandly smiled And made no more reply Bat to mutzer that cabalistic word Agam, ** Thashishalln?” And the druggist said unto himself, ++Hig clothes I will go through, And see if he nath the wherewithal To render me my due, ™ " And he had not searched but one pocket, One pocket, or barely two, ‘When from the clothes of his customer A wad of bills be drew, A couple of one-dollas notes, Some ficdler's change as well, And three crisp, nice, new, clean greenbacks 1In the corner marked with L.

And mattered that wyeterious word Again, **Thashiehali?® And be furched like ehip unseaworthy Unto the open door. And staggered off atong the sireet And they never eaw him more. VII.

Holden, well-known to the Fnblic as a writer under the name.of “Amber,” ectured Tuesday evening at the Sherman House 10 au aporeciative and highly-pleased audience. Mrs. Holden’s lecture, * The Yosemite," is one well calculated to display to great advantage ber love of the beauuful in pature and her fine descriptiue powers. It was admirably deliver- ’ ed, with fine intonation and deep feeling, and av its close the ledy received hearty compliments sud a c\&ale of thanks from the society she ad- ressed. ‘The second annual reception and banauet of the Second Regiment, I. N. G., which, is to be beld at the Palwer House to-morrow evening, ‘promises to be a bizhiy-enjovable and snccess- ful affair. Col.

She was the only daugnter of the Jate James F. Ballan- tyne, for many years the commercial editor of Tnz TRIBONE, and _subsequently editor of the Hepublican. Miss Ballantyoe was an accom- plished and astractiye erirl,—only 20 years old,— and ber desth will leave a terrible vold in an already much-bereaved household. Mrs. Bal- Jantyne bas the siucere sympathy of her many friends in her deep affliction. Friday afternoon it was reported at the Hin- man-Strect Station that there was a mad horse in an inclosurejat No. 276 Henry strect. Station- Keeper Brietzke wvestigated and found that the horse was owned by Jobn White, an express- man living at No. 230 on. the same street. ‘The animal was prancing about the foclosure at arapid rate, and was violently as- saulting all the cats and dogs that showed up, and when not doing that was tearing the flesh from off its breast. At the owner's request it was permitted to live until yesterday morning, and no chanee then appearing it was shot. 1t1s currently reported awong lhe neighbors that: the horse was bitten some three weeks ago by a do supposed to be rabid, and the animal cer- tainly did_exhibit most of the symptoms of tydrophobia.

A foud sud pious fatber from Red Wing, Mina., a Deacon of a church and local merchant of long-standing, reccived a_telegram from his son in this ¢city the other day, saying thatthe Foung man was ill,—to come “on at once. On cowming on at once the veucrable gentleman dis- covered that the only medicine that could do his uaworthy offsprine” any zovd would be an embrocation vf bail-bonds, foliowed by a hunz jury, the yonng man having had a rush of other Deopie’s property to the pocket, of snch severity that he bad been voufined to his room at the County Hotel. ** Alas,” moaned the good old geotlemay, “that a son of mine should ever be focked up 8s a thief.

O, Robert, Robert, why didnt you bekave like an honest wan, and, if you rély wanted the things, buy them and never pay 101 them Mr. Flower, the Receiver of the German Na- tional Bank, who took charge of its affairs a short time a0, sugs that the assets, nominally, amount 1o shout 300,000, dug are really worth $142,000. The liabilicies are $200,000. So the stocknolders will have to ake good a deficien- ¢y of about $60,000. He has reported tnis to the Cowmptrolier, who will decide as to the as- sessment to be fevied upon the stockholders. He bas seen - nothing in bis investization of the affairs of the bauk, which, previous to his tak- ing hold of them, had been in the hands of a Trastee, to show him that the assets had been squandered, or that the process of liquidation had been an cxpewsive onc. A dividend of about 25 per ceut bad been paid, and an asess- went of {rom 13 to 220 per cent will have to be levied on the stockholders. A deeply affecting spectacle was' witnessed at the Cuicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad de- pot last night,~the meeting of two luvers who had made éach other’s acauaiutance through the wedm of e Weekly Zlogtrough, an Eastern journul devated to sentimental literature from amateur contributors, a correspondence 1ollow- ing, ending with a betrothal, aud an, agrecment 10 meet 2t Chicago and huve their- sympachetic hearts welded into one. ‘The pleased surprise with which Zeplyr Zuletka Sniges discovered that Mr. Reminald Moutgomeric Sontacute, ftead of being 27, tall, dark, and aristocratic, was 46, stumpy, red-lieaded, fat, and vow-leg- gred. was only equalled by the rapturous amaze- meat with which he discovered that Miss Sniges, instead of veing willowy of fizure, Just 13, with swarw grolden hair, an opalescent complexion, and blue eyes e limpid lakes, was six feetone, if she was un ineh, 32 1 she was a day, weighing 300 pounds if she. id au ounce, und with no warm yeliow or auy other hair of ber own, ex- cept, a prosperous mustache. A practical but esthetic father of several Jovely daughters up iu_the Wesc Division, hav- ing Iurvisbed his parlors with the spindle- shanked antique furniture so much in vogue nowadays, was much_disgusted to find 2 larze Rl for repairs to rociing and casy-chairs seut in as regulary as the montb came round, and equilly surprised to find that no one could ac- count for the_catastrophes. 1 was sitting in the easy chair by the fire,” said bis cldest daushter, Julis, on one occasion, which may serve as a type for all the otbers, * aud Charl— that i5 to ‘say Mr. Smith—was sittiog on the sofa by the window, when suddenis—erack, down went the little rocking-chair il no one was sitting on ag all. It must be the poor glue they use, or perhaps it was the frost.” Finally the old gentleman took counsel of Lis despair, and at Christmas preseuted each of bis six daughters with a baudsome locket on which was iuscribed in pearls und rabies her weight— 109 pounds, 131 pounds, ete. Then he had a little silver piate let into the back of each chair, inscribed taken thesc simy Having tak marked 10 his offsp: No, girls, if there’s any more chairs broken it is because your youug men caw’t doa sum in simple subtraction, or clse because they are bent on. malicious and wantou mischief and destraction of property, and the next time a chair succumbs Il kick the youny, man out foranadjectived tool, or have him arrested and given the bust-end of the law, Tel ‘em that.” The girls apparenily did, for during the past six Weeks there Wasn’t so muchas a leg sprung, and whitc-winged peace broods over the housebold twenty-four bours to the day. B OATES AND “ PINAFORE." The Oates troupe last evening, as the final performance of their season, zave “Her Ma- Jesty’s Ship Pinafore.”” Mrs. Oates was the Fealph Rackstraw, apd did preity weil vocally, cousidering that the part belongs to a tenor. The ibrettist intended the character to be at least a semi-serious one;- but the natural vi- vauty of Mrs. O. would not be restraincd, and the sentimeptal toowan was, if anvthing, a Tittle livetier than the rest of the crew. Asa whole, the piece was acted better than it was when presented by the so-called Boston com- pany; but, musically, there was but little jm- provement. ‘The Dick Deadeye of Jast night couldn’t sing av all; and Sir Jo Porter (dove so well by Mr. Digby Bell) was & 1failare in both voice and manner,—=is two songs of the first act, which embrace the motive of the whole work, falling ss flat as fiounders. 3r. . | Beverlos had a role interpolated for him; which interpolation was anything but a success, The conductor of the troupe wust think that we are still in the Middle Ages, or be would never have stricken 6ut the pretty song of Capt. Corcoran, “\yhy ‘is everything either at sixes or at sevens?? and the succeeding very elfective duet between the Captainand Little Buttercup, and substituted therefor such relics of antiquity as “Foeland, Home, nnd Beauty,” “Good-Bye, Sweetheart, Good-Bye.” _* Larboard Wateh, Abog,” and * The Bay of Biscay 0,”—especial- 15 as these venerable dittics could not be made 0 assume the slizhtest relevance to the subject~ niaiter of the play. - Mrs. Oates’ gcasun of two weeks has been uite successful financially, aud she hersclf has gul]y maintalned the ood artistic position she ns 50 long enjoyed ; but hercompany is a weak one vocally, and only respectable dramatically. No one takes the piace of Crane, Howson, or Drew. And besides, Haverly’s is much too Jarge for _the eilective presentation of opéra- Dboutle, which, with_the limited voices of its in- terpreters, appears to best advantage in a thea- tro having not more than half the auditorium- space of that building.

The Committee appointed at the bricklayers’ mecting Friday night got .together at No.7 Clark strect_yesterday afternoon, talked four hours, and thep adjourned, declining to reveal whether they had come to a conclusion, ‘There are two frctions,—German and Amer- icap,—and the pomnt in dispute is a3 to @ basis for _uniting,—acrecing upon s constitution for the Dnion which will be satisfactory atl around. A general meeting is to be held to-morrow evening, by which time it is expected the Committee Wwill be prepared to report. While the men have notitied their bosses of their demand for au incrense of 50 cents a day in their wages, to take effect Mon- pay, they say they have no disposition to go on a strike. All they desire is that the bosses shall figure the advance in contracts fornext season’s work so that the bricklayers will be able to earn enongh to taske care of their families. The wages at present are 15 cents an bour, or §1.50 a day, which is what is usually pad for au- skilled labor. s THIRD NATIONAL BANK. The attention of capitalists aud others desir- ing o invest in real estate is called to the land assets of the Third National Bauk, for which sealed proposals will be received until the 25th inst. The property embraces the Hyde Park Hotel site, down-town Ktores, desirable resi- dences on the South Side avenues and else- where, and_some suburban lots. ~ \While this real estate s not to be eacrificed, bargains can undoubtedly be had, since the creditors prefer money in band. Receiver Jackson will furnish all the information desired. MILITIA NOTES. S Capt. H. G. Purrington, commanding A Com- pany, Sisth Battalion Infautry, I. N. G., having made a written statement and asked thata number of enlisted men in his Company be dis- charged for the good of the service,” and the request being approved by intermediate com- ‘manders, the folloiwing enlisted ‘men have been discharged “ for the good of the service,.excent in case of insurrcction or invasion,” by order of the Governor, Commauder-iu-Chicf, through Adjt-Gen. Il Hilliard: Serwt. Joseph . Graham; Privates Horace Walff, John J. O'Reilly, H. Sanborn Smith, Austin T. Holman, W. L. Warner, E. Warswick, Robert Rae, Jr., and J. A. Alexander. ‘At g meeting of the members of E Company, First Regiment, held last Friday night for the election of oflicers, First Lieut. Shea Smith was clected Captain, vice Lange, resicned. Sergt. H. II. Basseit was clected First Licutenant, and Private Fraok B. Lane Second Licutenant. TO BREAK A WILL. A bill was filed Saturday by Danicl and Mark Underhill and others azaiust Susannak AL and Thomas Underhill and Harrjes Cortis, to set aside the will of the late Edward Underhill. They state that in January Jast Edward Under- hill dicd leaving a lust will, by which he devised his whole estate to his wife Susannab. The will was duly probated, and John Buckland and Mrs. Underhill apooiuted execators. Com- plainants think that Edward Underhill, at the time he made bis will, was_ 1ot of sound mind and memory, but was in his dotage, and that his wife “exervised Many undue acts and frand- ulent practices™ to get him to make his will in her fayor. When he married her he was be- tween 70 and U years or age, and she soon be- an to starve him and abuse him in order to malce him obey her, and so reduced his mind to a condition bordering on imbecility. Itis further allezea that she marricd him golely for bis moncy, and eince his_death she has the estate invencoried at only $7,000, when it was worth much more, with intent to sell the real estate and get out of the State. Shebas been arrested for Jarceny. The complainants think she is Dardly a fit person to be executrix, und thiey ask that z{:e may be removed, and also that the will mey be set aside and declared voi THE CHANDLER CASE. The faterminable Chandler case was up again before Judee Farwell Saturday morning. Mrs. - Chandler’s attorney wanted to know if the Judge was prepared to aispose of the mo- tion to commit Chaudler for contempt_for not paying the alimony decreed. The Judge said he was not prepared. Mr. Siecper then asked for au exccation against Chandier’s salary for Jannory and Febuary, to make him pay the slimon¥ as it came due. TheJudge declined to make such an order. He said that he had committed one man for not paying alimony in a similar case, and the Supreme Court had reversed his raling, and he did pot pronose to make another deciston of the kind. This scemed to put & dimper on the hope of gesting anything out of Chandler, and, after some further talk, the argument came 1o alame and impocant conclusion wihout any order being made. THE CITY-HALL. The scrip clerk got rid of S800. 4 The Collector took 1 $1,700 for special assess- ments and $100 for licenses. - The deaths last week numbered 140, a slight decrease from that of the preceding one. One case of scarlet fever was reported to the Healtn authorities, making vine for the week. ‘The redemptions of scrip last week amounted to $4.562.42, making tbus far abouta third of the $30,000 called in. The Areasurer’s receipts yesterday were: Town Cellectors, $2,457.45; Water-Office, 32,555.85; Comptroller, $502.58; total, $23- 514.92. te paid out about $1,300. The country smelling Committee will have o conference with the Mayoraud Commissioner of Public Works Wednesday afternoon to sec ‘what can be done toward purifying the canal, The Town Collectors turned over §33,518.41 last week, Avers contribliting $3S;: i Cassleman, $11,230.64; and . Miller $3,752.45. All of dm was scrip, except $15,000, which Ayers secured. 5 Policeman Jones, of the Twenty-second Street Station, who shot _young O’Brien snd was in- dicted therefor and resigned from the force, was recommended for immediate reinstatement by Mayor Heath. Bis star and club were restored to him yesterday. Engine Companies}Nos. 3 and 12 recently bad & trial huteh, the laticr winning in fourteen aud three-quarter seconds, beating the former four and a balf scconds. The men started from their beds, the time being kept until the hind wheels of whe engine crossed the Goor, the cart going out first. This is nndoabtedly the fastest time ou record. - Several property-owners who called in to see., Assessment-Clerk” Jones were made bappy by receiving a rebate, the existence of which they bado’t dreamed of until they saw the news- paper statements regarding the matter. No notices have been sent out yet to those to whomhrebnxes are due, but they will be within a week. ¥ n effort is makiog to contract the fire limits, and in the outlying Waras the fight oo Alder- men in the coming election wili donbtless be wade on that issue.” T order to gain friends for the measure it is proposed to make & concession to those who sre ‘‘afraid of fire.” This is to up 8 block for a divid- live, and permit only brick ll:.fildhzgs to be constructed on_it, thus makin 2 barrier. For instance, say Thirty-first nrce% was sclected 83 the limit; the block between that strect and Thirty-second wounld be brick, while beyond frame structures could be erected. This scheme catehes some, but, in view of the | faifure of the dozen hlocks of brick between the river and Harrison street to protect the North ‘Side in 1871, its weakness can readily be seen. THE COUNTY BUILDING. The murderers of Officer Race will be tried fn the Criminal Court to-morrow. The South Town Collector turned $13,000 over to the County Treasurer yesterday. The Commissioners have accepted an fnvita- tion to visit the flouring milis of the bread con- tractor Tuesday morning. ‘The Finance Committee vesterday instructed the Treasurer to transfer $13,000 from the Col- lector’s, Treasurer’s, and_cash account to the General Fund. Those holding November or- ders should take hape. In the Criminal Court yesterday, Frank Ray was found guilty of larceny, and given ooe vear in the Penitentiory, and Jobn Smith, rather than riska trigl, pleaded guilty to the sume offense and was remanded. The Judiciary Committee and several attor- neys wipstled with ex-Sheriff Kern's claim for $1,000 fdr finishing up the business of his office, and, aftera lenzthy palaver, substaucially agreed to allow the charze. That1s, they decided that under the law Mr. Kern was_entitled to pay for the time he was employed at the rate of $6,000 er year. The Chairman was_appointed to sce g{ern and ascertain how much he bad given to the work; and, siuce he claims two months’ pay in his bil, and is not the kind of man to recede a wreat deal, it is presumed that he wiil be paid his claim to-morrow. The Committee on Public Charities examived proposals yesterday for supplying the county in- stitutions with groceries and dry zoods to fill ursent requisitions. There was scarcely a choice between the bidders in their prices, aud the February supply of groceries was given to William Stewart & Co., with the understanding that the March supply was to be given to Frauklin MacVeagh, provided he would furnish the goods at bis bid. ‘The dry goods was_siven. to_ Field, Leiter & Co., with"the un- dersanding that A, T. Stewart & Co. was to furnish the March supoly, and J. V. Farweil & Co. the April supply. Allof these firms arc to furanish the goods at once,~that is, the present requisitions are to be dupicated for March and Am&l}, and at once given to the houses named to em. ‘The Finance Committee vesterday morning locked themselves up and procecded to open bids for the sale of the new boods to be issued to complete the new Court-House. The bids were few, from what can be learned, which was po less astonishing than the fact that six- sevenths of the bidders offered & premitm of from 1102 per cent. The Committee had ex- pected to recetve several bids to take the entire iseue—$300,000—at par, but swere disappojut.-d, for the largest bid was for 330,000, und it was withdrawn for some reason or another. The other bids were*for. §4,000 at 1 per cent pre- mium, $2,000 2t 2 per cent premium, and two others tor $500 each at par, makiog the total bids $7,000, all of which were accepted. The Committee would not give the vames of the bidders, snd were very reticent on the whole subject. All they would say was that they were contident that there would be no trouble in sell- ing thebonds at par, and they authorized the reporters to annousce that on and after to-mor- row the boods would be on sale at the County Treasurer’s office, They ascribe the failure of capitalists to bid to a disposition to force the sulé of the bonds at a discount, but say that they will never be sold below par. They be- lieve that those holding orders against the Court-House Fund will lose oo time in exchang- ing them for bonds, and are determined that if aov discounts are made the county shall nos be the loser. T. 8. GOVERNMENT. Five hundred and fifty barrels of alcohol were exported from this city yesterday. The 4-per<ent subscriptions at the Sub- Treasury yesterday amounted fo 31,750, and the currency disbursements to $15,000. Coliector Harvey's internal-revenue receipts esterday amounted to $25,063, of which $21,- 03 was for tax-paid spirits, $2,998 for tobacco and cigars, and $582 for becr. Collector Smith was deluged with dispatches from Stock-Yards people yesterdsy indignantly denying the statement that there is pleuro-pneu- monia among the cattle there, or, in fact, any otber disease. ¥ John Sylvester and Frank Grav were before Commissioner Hoyne yesterday on the charge of selling liquors and cigars without possessing alicepse 50 to do. As it turned out, there was o evidence agaiust them, and the case was dis- missed. Chicf Deputy-Marshal John Stillwell sold to the representatives of the Connecticat Mutual Life-Insurance Company yesterday for the sum of 3250 the trunk which onmce belonzed to Elisha C. Sprague, and which contained certain papers that the Company longed to possess. ‘The Sub-Treasurer has received the following circular from Secrctary Sherman, dated Feb. 12, in relation to the redemption of 520 bonds of 1865 and consols of 1867: By virtue of the authority given by the act of Congress approved July 14, 1870, entitled ** An act to autiorize .the refundinz of the national debt, " 1 hereby give notice that the principal and accrued interest of the bonds herein below : desiz- nated, known as ** 5-20 bonds ™ of the act of March 3, 1865, consols of 1867, will be paid at the Tress- ury of the United States. in the City of_Wasning- tom, oo and after the 12th day of May, 1870, and that tie interest on said bonds wiil ccase on that day: Coupon bonds, dated Julsl, 1567—350—No. 80,001 to No. 85,000, both inclusive; §100—N 130,001 to No. 146,000, both ‘inclugive; S500—No. 81,001 _ to No. $7,000, both clusive; $1,000—XNo. 129,001 to No. 144,000, voth inclusive.

Postmaster Palmer was in receipt of tele- grams yesterday from the Post-Office Depart- ment at Washington requesting his presence fn that city, for the purpose of consulting with the Postmaster-General in relation to the proposed aceupancy by the Chicago Post-Oftice of a_por- tion of the new Government Building. Upon receipt of the ieleerams he visited the new building, and, uoder the guidance of Assistant- Superiutendent King, went over the basement and the first story, saw how much room could be placed at his disposal, and obtained sll the other information necessary to a2 full report usi;.!n the subject at headquarters. ‘The space whicil cau be given him, without interfering to any ereap extent with the completion of the building, is nearly two-thirds of the basement and four rooms at the north end of the first floor, together with the entrance on the Adams street frout, Ciphered out, this means an area of 50,000 square feet, or about twice the space at preseut occupied in the basement of the Singer Butld- ing. ‘The proposed new quariers can_be jotten ready for ocenpancy by April 1, and at am.ex- pense somewhere in thie neizhborhood of $30,- 00 Of the necessary work to be donc io fitting them up abour two-thirds will beof a perma- nent character, for which the reeular building appropriation fund can be Teaitimately drawn upoa. The bLataoce, of course. will have to come. out of Post-Office moneys. Mr. Palmer intend- cd to leave for Washington last nizht, in accord- ance with the aforesaid telezraphic instructions. THE POSTMASTERSHIP. The rumor that there might be achauge in the Chicago Postmastership before the ides of March was a subject of mno_little street gossip yesterday, and natorally enough the talk din't cod there, buy found its way into official circles, where the usual difference of opinion_as to its prob- abjlity prevailed. There were those who didn't believe Cnarler Farwell bad signed a petition for the appoinfment of Ald. Rawleizh to the seat now filled by Frapk W. Pahner, and there were those who did. Others scoffed at the whole thing, and insisted and somebody had put up a huwe stiff on Rawleigh, who, unsuspecting, had taken ft all fn. Others, again, believed that Ravwleich bad been offered it, but had declined, and that the movement to _displace the present Postmaster and give the office to somebody else was anything but deaa, the two renrlemen who were most “in the hauds of their friends” for this occasion only beipr Ald. Gilbert aud - ex-Ald. Gill. The cxcuse for a change, as geocrally given, was that ‘the present occupant Of " the' office had succeeded in filling up the shop with a Iot of politicians who bad displaved their usefuiness iv one way or another, particularly during the late Sen- atorial fight, and that, in view of the import- ance of Chicago as one of the largest mail cen- tres in the country, it was necessary to bave a man at the helm who would run more to busi- ness and less to politics. Thatall this did no merely come from the “outs” in coutradis- tluclk{n from the “ins,” was evident from the fact that the propriety of a change was dtcuss::d by business-men_snd _citizens eperally, who were free from all Enfl(k‘a‘ biag in this matter either one way or the other, and among l,\\ese the genera) verdict was that if there waso t a0 effort making to secure a change, tnere ought to be. Otbers, however, ‘pointed to what they laimed to be tbe present efliciency of the office, and depounced the alleged scheme to oust, Mr. P“‘m;& a8 a0 onmxge,b—a uz%vbeogox purely polity purposes, and born !e?llu.":; of soreness a;_Oglesby’s and Farwell’s defeat and Logan’s triumpb. During the day a reporter called upon Mr. Palmer, who did little more than to state that he had heard the rumor for two or threc davs past, supposed it grew out of something said or done during the Senatorfal campaign, had paid no attention toit, and didn’t attach any importance whatever to it. Knowing that be 136 pzolug to \Washington to consult’the Post- Office suthorities in relation to the provosed move into the ne¥ building, the reporter vent- ured to remark that, on arriving at Washington, be would no doubt learn just how much truth or falsity there was _in the rumored change. To which Mr Palmer gravely asseuted without intimating that his expedition might be of the duplex sort commonly known 8s killing two birds with oue stone. Mr. Farwell was in decided demand yesterday among the newspaper men of Chicaeo, but kept out of their reach until it was too late for any- thing like an extended interview with him on the pressing subject of the nour. In fact, he hove in sicht of his dry-goods store just as the carriage drew up to convey him and Jobn V. to the train, [ate in the aftérnoon, and what was said was necessarily brief. The publication of the rumor in & morning paper was the first he had heard of it. He koew nothing of any petition in favor_of Ald. Raw- leigh’s appointment as Postmaster, cer- tainly badn’t evolved anytbing of the kind himself, und the whole story was, in fact, ut- terly and_entirely news, as far as he was con- cerned. Having said which Mr. Farwell jumped into the carriage and was whirled away to the depot. HOTEL ARRIVALS. GRAND PACIFIC HOTEL. F. Oppenheimer, SanFran E.A.Fisk, Lawr'ce, Mags. 3 Clias.

The thonsands of patrons of the Chicago Public Produce Exchange, Nos. 139 1o 141 Madi- son street, will be interested in the addition of apew department for trading in all the stocks dealtin by the New York Stock Exchange. The Public Produce Exchange is the pioneer institu- tion of the kind in Chicazo. Its firm financial standing and strictly bonorable dealings ap- pealed to the public confidence from the start, and although its wonderful success has en- couraged a number of imttators, yet the con- stantly-increasing patronage is the best oroof of the perfectly satisfactory character of its deal- ings. Io the new department, which will be opencd Monday, the same facilities for trading in stocks will be offered that have made the trading in produce und provisions so popular, Ofticial quotatious of stocks will be received and poated constantly, and the same security and satisfoction witl be guaranteed asin the other departments of the Exchange.

There is an irrepressible conflict roing on in the horse-cars between the hater of cold dranghts and the contemner of camp-meeting smell. The subject of adulteration in baking-powder is attracting a large share of the public atten- tion just now, and some twenty of the leading brands are condemned by Eastern chemists 28 containing alum in injurious quantities. In this connection it was a pleasure to note that Dr. Price’s celebrated Cream Baking-Powder is above suspicion. The fact that Dr. Price is himself a practical chemist enables bim to guard agalost anything that is in the slightest degree injuri- ous, and his Cream Baking-Powder is acknowl- edged by all chemists, as well as all housewives, to be unquestionably the best in the market. 1t conlains ro aum.
