Then Henry look' ed at Sallie with an interrogation in his eye, which was. partly dispelled by the fair -maid murn-uring, "It's all right," Ilenry said of course it was all rigth; that he had long known 1 o'clock was her bedtimo, and he thought it was plenty late enough too, for a young girl to bo out of bed but what business, no said had Washington's portrait to be flopping about in that way? Then Sallio ex explained, - plained, explained, and the twain resumed work on the problem, Henry putting his arm around Sallie to prevent her falling off the chair. Meantime the old man was listón ing for the front door to open, and his would-be son in law's footsteps pattering over the pavement with the toes of his boots pointing from the house. These sounds not falliría on his ears, and thinking the old thing j:i.. i . i., k tl. uiuu i woia. nyut, lie gavu uio suing another pull, and George W. again faced the audience. Then he listened, but ho beard no footsteps nothing but a peculiar sound, -something re sembhng tho popping of champagne corks. Then he crew cross, and gave tho strinsr another iork, causing G, W. to turn about with violent suddenness just as if he was dreadfully out of numor, too. And still all is quiet below ex cept that popping sound. Then the striris was pulled asruin and again and again indicating that the old fellow was just ready to explode with rage.

The next mornincr her father cx- amined that portrait, and when he fully understood tho situation, he was pained. He shed a silent tear, detached the Firing, sponged out the inscription, and walked with the weight of fifty-fivo years on his shoulders that beins his age. He says a girl who will go back on her father in that way would just as lief a3 not disgrace her parents by mar rying a Congressman.

corresponding increase in popula tion. Ic June 1870, the federal census gave us a population of 299, 227, and a vear later the directory census gave us 33-1,279. When it is remembered all that has been done in Chicago since January last, and the increase of trade ia everv branch of industry, it will not surprise any person to know that our population tosday,)is at least 400,000, a part of which, however, is probably tran sient.

This will give to nun residents a faint idea of Chicago one year after the Great Fire. ' Chicago Tribune. SAME'S BEDTIME. A father not very far from here, read in tho paper tho other morning, that the "Utica girls.who want their beaux to go home the same night they call, pull ft string at the proper Lour, which reverses a picture, on the back of which appears the words, Ten o'clock is my bedtime. " This father, who had a daughter given to late hours when a certain youth sits up and helps her keep them, thought he would try this Utica plan; so he wrote in large characters on tho back of a huge portrait of George Washington this inscription: "10 o'clock iá salue's bedtime." Then ho arranged tho picture so that whin ho attached a string to the frame he could reverse it from his bed chamber. But when Saliie en entered - tered entered the rooia an hour later, scstho. tic eye was outra' ed by observing the portrait of George hanging slightly out of plumb, so to speak, and in adjusting it her father's little gatee was revealed in all its subtle ingenuity. iSallie was not a Utica girl, how however, - ever, however, so she just went ta work and neatly effaced the figuro "0," leaving the 1 standing solitary ami upright which, you will observe, made a few hours difference in her bedtime. That night, as U3ual, Sallie received a visit from her young man nhicli his front name it was Henry and her paternal parent attached lis string to G. iV.'s poitrait and retired to his downy couch. About 10 o'clock, while Ilenry and Sallio were, deeply absorbed iu some Inottjr problem, with their hesds so contiguous that you could not insert a piece of tissue paper be Uecn thctn, the Father ot his Coun Country - try Country suddenly turned his face to the wall, as if he waj ashamed to gaze upoa inch doings, llewj, with a

fice?; tho proportion of stone fronts has largely increased that material superceding in many cases the iron fronts. Another peculiarity oí the new buildings is the greatly increased number of double and treble stores; that ia slurc3 Laving 50 and 75 feet, and in many cases, 100 iect front. While this rebuilding ha3 been going on, the business oí Chicago has grown with marvellous rapidity, it has not been confined to any one branch of trade. Excluding the immense trade in building materials, the regular commerce of the city has surpassed even the increase of the past, lt is not extravagant to say that the dry goods trade of 1872 will be 50 per cent, greater than that of anv vcar before ,he lire. We have increased by many additions the number of wholesale dealers in dry goodi and yet thue is no old house that has not nearly doubled its trade and no new" house that has not en tend upon a prosperous business. Thesame maybe said of all brandi brandies - es brandies cf tho whoiesole trade. In boots and aho.es, millinery, straw goods, hats, caps, fars, cloths and clo'hiug, groceries, oils. paii.t3, glas3, crock crock-try - try crock-try and glass ware, iron, steel and hollow-ware, and, in fact in every branch of wholesale trade, tho sales of Chicago have never equalled those which have followed tho resumption of business after tho fire. The general branch of our trade has been attended with an increase oí all branches of manufacture; new shops, foundries, and all kinds of cstaMiihrriPfits for skilled labor have multiplied, giving the character of busy Lives to many districts which, before the fire vere unoccupied prai ri. A result of this increase in trade it shown in the rentals of the new build buildings, - ings, buildings, although tbere is son.o back wardncsa about moving back on tbi part of merchant who male new and cheaper locations immediately after the fire.

CMCACO.-A YEAR'S WORK. V7 e know of no words winch will convey to persons residing outside of Chicago au idea of what has been done in the way of rebuilding tho city, than to say that, beginning on April 15, 1872, and ending Dec. 1, 1872, excluding Sundays, couuting 200 Working days, and each day of eight hours, tliore will be completed one brick, stone, or iron building, 25 feet front; and from 4 to 6 stories high, for each hour of that time. In other words the buildings of that size and character completed and that will bo completed by Dec. 1, will average one for each GO minutes of 200 days of 8 hours each. This estimate, which will fall be- low the actual fact, does not include tho many stone, brick, iron, arid wooden buildings built outside of the burned district, and which alone equal the ordinary new buildings put ujiiu Chicago annually. There is no precedent in the world's history of 6ucii a growth; no precedent for such energy and bravery by a people who, withm the year had seen $200, 000,000 of their propery destroyed by fire. 1 The extraordinary achievement in rebuilding Chicago is not confined to the number of new buildings, but applies equally to their sizo and their supenority in construction and materials, lt will strike those famil familiar - iar familiar w.th Chicago before the fire that, while four stories wiu the general height of business blocks at that time, the present buildings, as a general thing, are at least one story Higher, thus adding one-fifth to the ware warehouse - house warehouse capacity. While the brick structures still bear a large propor t'.Oii to the whqle number of new edix

PREMATURE 1XTERMEXT. Thera has been hanging around the quiet little villngu of Aullville, for some time, a man by the name of Rogers, who is very much addicted to drinking, and, in fact, to such an excess that he becomes a boro to the town. In order to rt rid of him a plan was devised by some ol the fun-loving boys of that place, and it was decided that when next found drunk he should be placed iu a box aud shipped per express. , They had not long to wait for the oppor tunity, and lio was given the lit of a very neat pine box, wliich coutainod a few holes sufficient for ventilation.
