Our Chicago Letter.
CniCAoo, Oct. 20, 1877.
We hivo taken In hand the work of
civilizing the Chinaman, and are mak
Ing fair progress, tliourjh somo may
think that the results aro not pcrma
nent enough. Two years ago one Mnn
collan who has lived here for some time
was naturalized, and cast his vote for
the ticket of his choice, Since then he
has made progress In the ways of the
Americans, dlscrudlng his pigtail and
donning a stovepipe hat. Still furthet
forgetful of the land of bis nativity,
and Its almond eyed, small-tooted
daughters, lie fell In lovo with a girl of
American birth, named Celln, and aft
er a long courtship was able to win her
promlso that she would marry blm.
All the arrangements were made for
the wedding day. He bought her a
watch and wedding ring, and she had
all her clothes In readiness. A day
hufuro tlio one set for the ceremony
she disappeared, but not alone, the
ring the watch and raiment went with
her. Then sorrow came In a black tide
over the heart of the Mongolian. He
did not shrugh his shouKiers, and re
Blgn himself to his fate, nor did he look
around for some one to fill the vacant
place; ho retired to his boarding house,
kept by a German woman with whom he
was wont to have long talks she speak
ing Germau and he broken English
nnd then he hung himself. It Is re
spectfully submitted that no Caucasian
could have done any better under the
circumstances, and that here is or was
at least one Chinamen who had bo
come thoroughly Americanized. As
for bis countiymen, of whom there are
a number in the city, they looked up
on him as a traitor, who had sacrificed
his pin tail and deseited tho manners
and customs of the Flowery Kingdom
for the ways of tho foreign devils. So
he was not sent back to his native land,
but hurled here by his employer.
Bob Ingersoll lias Just ended his vin
dication of the diameter of tho late
Tom Patne.concemlng which lie gotlnto
a row with the New York Observer,
which had republished thestatement that
Paine died a drunkard and In despair.
So Ingersoll delivered a lecture ot sev
eral columns last week, in which he col
lected all I l.o testimony on his side of
the case, and wound up with a fervid
eulogy of the ability and patriotism of
Thomas. There is so little interest
taken in the dead man that the long
array of evidence lias created no sensa
tion Here the only persons who swear
by Tn I ne are a few Scandinavians, who
celebrate the day of his death with
speech aud song, winding up the per
formances witli a supper and a dance.
Germans and Americans alike disre
gard tho author of the Age of Reason,
but Swedes and Norwegians for some
inexplicable reason have made a pro
phet out of lil tn . Ingersoll originally
offeied $1,000 in gold to the editor of
the Observer If he would make good his
charges, but the parties were never able
to coiuo to a square issue, so that no
money will change hands.
Tbe farmers of Illinois have had the
moot extraordinary harvest known for
ytais. Neither drought nor frost has
interfered with their happiness. More
over, there Is an Europeau war, and a
market for all that they can produce,
and yet they are not happy. They are
worrying themselves over the recent ac
tion ot the railroad companies, In put
ting up rates to the East, and fear that
there will be another Increase tho mo
ment that tbe lake navigation is at an
eud. This is altogether likely. So
since they apprehend that their expect
ed pronts are going Into the pockets of
the railroad companies, they are talk
lug of beginning another Granger war,
and seeing If they cannct get the better J
ui mo uiunupuues. iiierc uru ou me
statute books laws to regulate railroad
charges, and there are commissioners
to see that they are executed. Rut
they move too slowly to suit die agri
cuhurlsts, some of whom are now talk
ing gloomily of tearing up tracks In
case the rates are put up. They admit
that such a policy would not help them
any, but then it would hurt tho rail
roads, which Is the main thing they aro
after. So it Is not unlikely that the
railroad troubles of last summer may
break out again In a fresh place.
The criminal folly of man was beau
tifully illustrated Wednesday. An ex
press messenger named Price, who runs
between here and Pittsburg, was arrest
ed for stealing money packages, and the
property was fouud upon him. Near
ly three years ago this same man, while
on his run to the East, killed an ex
conductor who had sought to rob the
car. Price bad a desperate fight with
tbe man, and received a bullet wound
lu his shoulder which Invalided liliu for
some time. Tbe Express Company
was grateful, and showed it by giving
him 1 1,000 In gold, and a leave of ab
sence until he was cured. He has been
In the Company's employ over since,
an honest an trusted servant. Dut tbe
man In spite of bis bravery tviust have
been absolutely dishonest, and have
deemed his name valuable rhletly be
cause it secured him Immunity from
suspicion For some time back pack
ages have been missing on the route be
tween here and Pittsburg, but nobody
thought of suspecting Price. Marked
packages were resorted to, and were
put In the way of all the other employ
es, who refused Die bait. Finally as a
fort of last resurt, but with uo idea It
would amount to anything, Prlco was
tried, and was caught lu tbe act ot rob
bery, The discovery was a very pain
ful one to the officers of th Company.
who had put such absolute confidence
in Ills honesty. It appears from his
statement that the money ulven him
led hlin Into temptation. He bought
real estate with It nnd took to stealing
to make up tne remainder ot tue pur'
chasd money.
Politics hero are gradually assnmlng
definite shape. Tho Republicans will
run a straight ticket, and ll tney nomi
nate the best men, will probably elect
It, Tho Democrats and Worklngmeu
have very nearly fused, the former to
take three profitable olllces, and, trie
latter seven which are of secondary Im
portance so far as salary and patronage
co, the Judges are, It Is pretty gen
erally agreed, to be non-pattizane. Tho
Greenbackers were at one time on the
point of uniting with the Worklngmen,
but have finally decided to retain their
individuality, llie socialists cannot,
at the outside, cast mure than 2,000
votes, and the chances are that they
Mil sell out to one or tne otner parly
before election dav. If men of equal
capacity tire nominated, the fusion tick
et of Worklngmen and Democrats will
doubtless be successful.
The Job of gathering up tho relics of
tho broken banks goes slowly onward.
A receiver is, of all creatures, tlie.ono
who eoes slow and sure. He Is so on
his guard against an imprudence, that
he would rather postpone a dividend a
year, than allow five cents of the assets
to be sacrificed. Ho Is careful to givo
no Information, lest It may be slightly
out of the way, and mislead the expect
ant creditor ; and he is, If anything,
more caieful to draw tils allowance
every month, oven if It takes the last
cent In the treasury. From present
appearances one of the banks will pay
SO per cent , another about 00, and an
other about 20. There are beginning
to be fears that tho trouble Is not yet
over here.and that In a short.tlme some
of the National Ranks; will go to the
wall. Such fears nre apt to cause tho
mischief that Is apprehended, and so
another smash is by no means unlikely.

Our Boston Letter.
Boston, Oct. 22, 1877.
Our lecture courses, which usually
opens In September, are quite late this
season, but they are Just out with their
programmes, which commences early In
November and continues Into January.
The announcements are quite attrac
tive, especially when the low price of $3
and $1 for the best seats for twelve lec
tures Is considered.
We bavo had one thing in tho way of
a " show" the past week which I must
not pa's by unnoticed and that Is Dr.
S. M. Landi9, who was announced to
appear at Beethoven Hall in "Hamlet"
and " Richard IIL," supported by an
'imaetnary company," This man, who
we are very much Inclined to think Is a
triUe " loony," did not meet with suc
cess, and discontinued bis " performan
ces" after two nights. As he has been
well ndvertised.one of our little variety
theatres has picked him up, and will
bring him out to night as a " star." As
I believe the " Doctor" Is somewhat
known in your region. I append a brief
correspondence between him and tho
manager ot tne variety theatre, which
I believe is absurd enough to deserve
ptinting :

Our Montreal Letter.
Montreal, Oct. 10.
In leading social circles of this city
the busy tongue of scandal has run rife
about ajscandolous affalro de cosur which
occurred upwards of a year ago, and
which also stirred to Its Innermost
depths tho "uppertendom" ot Boston
society. It will be necessary, by way
of prelude, to refer to the events which
culminated the other day In a divorce
being obtained In Chicago, and tbo
celebration ot a marriage ceremony In
Boston on tho 13th last.
When Montreal awoke out ot Its
slumbers one Sabbath morning tho
news spread like wild fire that the wlfo
of William Mackenzie Esq., the, daugh
ter of Andrew Allen, Esq., the well
known millionaire, had taken the eve
ning train for New York with Freder
ick Brydges.soo of C. J. Brydges. The
runaway couple put up at a leading
hotel In Now York, and the press of
that city, the next day, vied with each
other In describing the social stand inn
of the truants and the furore created In
Montreal society. It subsequently
leaked out that Mrs. Mackenzie had
been deeply wronged by her dissipated
husband, whose career since their nup
tials had been a downward one. It ap
pears that Frederick Biydges was a
"first lovo" or Mrs. Mackenzie.snd had
visited her at her residence during her
husband's absence on the most intimate
terms. One evening she accompanied
him to a theatre, where a drama was
enacted that depicted tho sufferings of
a wronged wife who as a last extremi
ty determined to run away from her
liege lord.
The play so deeply moved Mrs. Mac
kenzie that she resolved to follow tho
example of the wronged wife depicted
In the drama, and that night she desert
ed her husband and two children, and
took the midnight train for New York.
In company with Fred. Brydges, Tho
father of the latter pursued the fugltivo
couplo in a special train, and succeeded
In stifling scandal and arranging mat
ters to the satisfaction of both families.
About a week ago Mr. Mackensle suc
ceeded In obtaining a divorce In Chica
go. Tne harrier being removed, Mr.
Brydges lost no time in arranging for
his marriage with Mrs. Mackenzie,
which topk place on the 13th Inst., in
Park street church, Boston.
A melancholy accident occur reil nn
Saturday night in the St. John, N. B ,
River through a collision between tho
steamer "Soulanges" and a wood boat
uoid under." The first Intimation
received by the passengers of the oc
currence was a terrible crash, which ap
peared as If it had rent the steamer In
twain. Twenty feetof tbo "Soulanges"
starboard was carried away by the col
llslon. Two gentlemen and two lariiM
cabin passengers, on deck at the time,
were carried overboard. The two
ladles were drowned, whllo the two
gentlemen were rescued. Thedeceased
ladles were a Mrs. Trecanture. leaving
a husband and nine children, and a
Mrs. J. Carter, of Long Branch. Mr,
Carter bad hold ot his wife, but was
made to let co bis hold bv comimr In
contact with fragments ot tho debris.

ed at the foot of Mount Royal, has at
