Bowen Again on the Stand. “Do the defense wish to have the witness Bowen summoned again. If go he is over inmy office,” continued Mr. Wells. “Bring him over and let us look at him,” said Mr. Smith. The witness was sent for. In reply to a question, Mr. Cuppy said, that if Bowen was on hand they did wish to push a motion to have him placed under bonds for his appearance. While waiting for Bowen, Mr. Cuppy asked Mr. Cameron when Bowen had reported to him that he sent for Mr. Dickson to come to Driver's at 8 o'clock. Mr. Cameron said that Bowen told him at aes the evening that he started for the west. Mr. Cuppy asked Mr. Bowen who had come in if hehad been in court and heard the evi- dence since his testimony. The witness said he had not, and knew nothing of the evi. dence, except what he saw in the papers- He had been in the city all the time. The court excluded the question as to whether he was staying at a boarding house in this city under an assumed name. Mr. Bowen was asked some question about his message to Dickson without eliciting any- thing new. Mr. Cuppy inquired of the witness if he could remain here till the close of the trial. Mr. Bowen said he would like to goto New York before answering the question. Mr. Cuppy sald he would like to have the witness remain, but he would not ask that he be put under bond. ir.

Lip- fert, from Montgomery county, Md. A young man came to him and represented himself asa son of a lady on the Avenue who desired to pur- chase some potatoes. The :ccommodating young man helped the farmer with the potatoes in the wagon, and drove down the Avenue to Mrs. Lynn’s, who keeps the Keystone house. They took the potatoes into the house and the lady bt the young man, who was a stranger to her, 50, when he walked out of the house without paying the farmer a cent. The case was re- ported to police headquarters, and the police are now looking for the sharper. sisi Nanieol sts THE Court OF CLarus met to-day and adjourned ull January 2d next. Wm.

THE TOWN OF PULLMAN, AND ITS PECULIARITIES. jath" in the Cincinnati Eugnirer. About noon on Sunday I started from Chi- cago down the Tilinois Central railroad with Mr. Pullman and & gentleman and his wife, who were old friends of the car-builder, 2-2 ta nar an hour or so yseume to the town bearing his ; Tame, which is on a swell in the prairie, at the side of a long, large lake. which I was told had adepth of four or five feet, and which has a town called South Chicago on the opposite shore, where the strand between this lake (which I think is called Calumet) and Lake Michigan is hardly half a mile wide. The high swell in the prairie approaching Pullman ts dedicated to vil- las, which were to be built next year. The town, ou get toit,is seen to be composed alto- gether ot brick, some in white or yellow, other portions in red brick. The houses are not built in a low, flat uniformity like those in Philadel- i They have an architectural outiine, are bly clean, and the brick is much better than Chicago brick, generally speaking. We firs ¢ to a great factory of metal car- wheels, and next to a factory of paper car- wheels, and then to the mighty shops ot the Pullman comp: at the center of which isa splendid tower of yellow brick just 200 feet high, and near it is the great Corliss engine which ran the Centennial Exhibition This vast tower, which is nine or ten stories high, disposes of the sewerage of the town, which all runs into metal pipes, and is drawn by suction tothe tower andtorced to the top of it, and then it tails over an area of three miles, manur- ing certain fields which belong to the associated company. Pullman was legally advised that his Sleeping-car company could not hold more than 300acres of ground. So he bought more than 2,000 acres besides, and has created it into a Land Improvement company. He says that Calumet Lake willbe the principal manufactur- ing center of the world. A few such men as himself would speedily make it so. We got out of the cars at a brick station of uwreeable style and comfortable interior, and w then carried to the Pullan Hotel, which is one of the best in America. Mr. Puilman : “Suppose [had let this hotel to any- t havezspoiled the entire town. I are thousands of tastes to be con- sidered in this world. For instance, the Duke of Westminster came here to see Pullman town. was a little curious to know what he thought about it, and was told afterward the thing which struck the most was the flne quality of claret which he got at dinner. So I have put my gov- ernness in one part of this establishment, and rk in this dining room. in the town of Pullman that does not read that It can be cancelled at two weeks by notice from either side. My ten- auts can discharge me, or I can discharge any ofthem. At the same time I never interfere in There is not a lease town. We depend here on example. When Pullman I went personally through the hous aud the indifference tocleanliness made me sick. In these same houses to-day there are flowers in the window, and a sense ef ambition which is most grateful to all. According to my belief, man is an imitative animal, and will seek high conditionsif he has a chance. We are very par- ticular her not to make visible any power re- siding In this corporation. Nobody ts encour- aged here by money to exalt himself. But we do give them certain things to raise the mind and the taste, and a splendid improvement is noticeable all round.” The Pullman Hotel is a little gem. containing about 37 rooms. In one corner of the building isa small lor, bedroom, bathroom, &c., for the Pullman family. Like all people with a great deal on their minds, it is convenient tor them to run down sometimes and hide from re- sponsibility and society. Perhaps the best din- ner the west, at any hotel, is to be found here. the Pullman children. Isaid to Mr. Pullman: “What is the govern- ment of the town?” “Why said he, “it has no government but the will of the controling power in the Pullman comp: We had to build shops to make our cars. We have factories in Detroit, Hestonville, Elnira and other places, but our business was increasing, and we required some central spc I chose this place as convenient to Chicago. The original purpose is to accommodate our workingmen. We furnish ar upward. A great deal of the trou- ess and manufacturing corporations is because there are no adequate. respectable hie for the operatives. I thought a company like ours, which has labored to give taste and comfort to travelers, could afford to be equally magnanimous with its operatives. We do not interfere In the least with any person in this vi . but we see that no nuisances are allowed to begin here. All our citizens belong to our police force. Everyboay here is interested in seeing the town become a joy, and an elegance to itself and to strangers.” We soon departed for the Arcade, which is about 250 feet long by 200 feet broad, covered with glass, and having four entrances, like a cathedral. The lower floor is given up to stores and shops, the post office included. In the upper floor, among many offices, is a library with 10,000 volumes, one of the most model institutions of its kind in the world; and Mrs. She ‘is about to have n of this building. tints of wall paper, & an art school in one por adornments are of a Turl three private boxes on each side of the mosque kind. The drop curtain represents a scene on the Bosphorus, with a Saracenic cafe or divan in | the fereground. Electricity is used to light it up. A formal opening of this theater is to take place about New Year's. John McCullougi and Barrett pronounce the theater the most perfect in the world. This arcade and hotel front a public square, in the center of which is a great inusic stand of stone, and on the opposite side are the great market-honuse and the model church, which is built of Pennsylvania serpen- tine or green stone, in the Gothic style. One end of the square shows the facade of the shops and the splendid Spanish-looking tower. artificial lake comes up to this square, which was fuil of skaters when we entered it. The market-house is better than any in New York. The church has a noble organ. whose moan and tone bend the mind to reverence. Fronting the lake, which was but a little w from the center of the town, is a splendid stand to observe regattas. In the shops is the splendid Corliss engine which moved the Exhibition at Philadelphia, and it has connected with it one of the most wonderful boiler-rooms in the world, I understand that the main portion of the town is heated by fire sent from these boilers. Mr. Pullman told me that ne meant to have a school of improved mechanics in the village assembled in the great tower. That afternoon we heard a young minister deliver his model sermon, to see if he could suit the audiences. Pullman sald, in his quiet way, that the preacher must fill the require- ments of the town. Another feature of this place is the Pullman __ railroad, which extends around the sides of the lake, a distance of perhaps five miles, and is meant to be the feeder to a tuture grand manufacturing interest. 1 style. There are —— Bless His Dear Heart. From the Peoria Call. In a very elegant palace car entered a weary- faced, poorly dressed womgn with three littlé children—one a babe in her arms. A look of Joy crept into her face as she settled down into one of the luxurious chairs, but it was quickly dispelled as she was asked rudely to ‘start her boot.” A smile of amusement was seen on several faces as the frightened group hurried out to enter one of the common cars. Upon one young face, however, there was a look which shamed the countenance of the others. “Auntie,” said the boy to the lady beside him, “Lam golag to carry my basket of fruit and this box of sandwiches to the poor woman in the next car. You are willing of course?” He spoke eagerly, but she answered: ‘Don't be foolish, dear, you may need them yourself, and perhaps the woman is an impostor.” ‘No, I'll not need them,” he answet decidedly, but in a very low tone. “You know I had a hearty breakiast and don’t need alunch. The woman looked ln . auntie, and so tired, too, with those three little babies clinging to her.

Time was when they built ships and bought and sold rum, soap and other gro- | ceries at Portsmouth: when there were greasy mechanics on her streets, and women in. ca! gowns in her houses, and dirty-faced children in her yards: bat this has gone by.
