I roaif In tho Trilmua the other day that ovor (1,000 retail clerks alone with out of employment, and tit lit as the ilauunry days rolled ly this number would doubt, loss lio added to. On top of this, rumor says that tho (treat ptilliitithroplHt, Mar Hhall l-'lold, will either dlschargo MX) dorks (In both rotail and wholosalo Htorott) or lay olT all clerks from onn to thioodaya ,ior week. Schloslngor A Mayor havo mado a cut throughout their oHtabllHhmont, In hoiiio depart ments reducing tho nuuibor of clerks and In all onsen cutting down salaries IK) percent. Doubtless Mnndol HroR. Sob gel Cooper A- Co. and others havo done likowiHo, for trade has boon singularly dull for Chicago, Solgol Cooper A Co. aro Jtmt now having an Immense trado aud advertising him done It all by tho way. Last week thoy bought tho ro iiiaiiiR of tho Jiih. Walker A Co'h stock, and after advertising it liberally for throo dayH opened up Monday morning, and tho peoplo could not got breathing space. Hut all this talk of Chicago being tho dullest place in America Ih sheer non sense. Chicago, today, notwithstanding tho hard timeti and tho great strain of the world's fair, in fully abreast with tho largest cities In tho country.

Sff THE PEERLESS CORINNE. liko all grout cities, has u great specula tive element, but ono thing that can bo said in her favor ia that for a western city sho takes but little stock in wild cat Bcheiuos and investments. For in stance as u place to tloat mining stocks -it's not tho market. St, Louis, St Paul, Minneapolis und other cities aro fur better places to get rid of such pa Ir. Tho theatres hero havo generally dono a fair business since tho close of the fair und many of tho houses huvo dono big business, notably Hooley's, whoro Mr. and Mrs. Kondal aro now closing their seventh week to crowded houses nightly. Sot hern bus closed a very proiitublo engagement ut tho Col umblu in "Sheridan or tho Muid of Hath," and tho "black Crook" has re. peated its former success at MuVickor's. "Texas Stoer" at tho Grand has mot with popular favor and Russell's Come dians have made a great hit in u new farce called "About Town," a play writ ten with tho bcodos laid in Chicago, Milwaukee uvenuo being the central point of viow. Tho .Chicago Oporu house has held enthusiastic audiences nightly and Johnny Russell will doubt less secure a ropitltion of the success mado by tho "City Directory." Felix Morris,that superb champion of tine dra matic art.has been acting teveral weeksat theSchiller.preseutlng two or more potlto plays each evening. Ho appears to ex cellent advantago in three different characters, fully showing his capability in a wide range of work. On his final week the bill was "A Game of Cards," "The Vagabond" and "Moses," tho latter a new production in two acts, in which Mr, Morris appears as a Hebrew and hows a most excellent conception of a part that ia brim full of bright comedy. Corlnno after a five months stay iu Chi- cngo has plnjod her limit engagement, tho long run coining to an end at tho Alliambra Haturday evening of last week. "Ilondrlck lludsoii"has received a most gorgeous presentation, and really tho play Is one of tho big lilts of tho sen. son. One feature In particular is par. excellence. Tho tableau and grand aimixoulau drill In tho last act, shows many Intricate movements, while tho costumes, whlto satin with white beaded and sliver olToots, aro tho llnest seen In Chicago In a long time. Corlnno as usual carries out her part well and has several now and catchy songs that never fall to return her to tho footlights.. Corlnno Is a veritable child of fortune. She Is always receiving miiiiii splendid honor or gift. Tho last is another token from her devoted mother. Corlnno does a neat little specialty with a mandolin in tho new piece and in it uses an instru ment, tho handsomest and costliest in existence. While at tho fair last sum mor Mrs. Kimball observed and took quite a fancy to the prlo mandolin ex hibited by Lyon A Healy. It was en tirely covered with pearl and ornament ed gold fastenings. It took llrst honors and was Immediately entered for tho exK)sition at Antwerp, Mrs. Kimball, however negotiated for It at tlm close of tho fair and Dually bought it for $1,500. Tliis is tho mandolin that Corlnno uses in "Htndrloklludson." Now a beautiful monouram "V, K. is Doing made, sol in diamonds, which will bo placed on tho linger loard and whou Corlnno appears in Lincoln next week Mrs. Kimball will place it on exhibition for a few hours during tho day. Of course all lovers of tho mandolin will go wild ovor it. Mean whlloLyon A llenly aro constucting a duplicate to send to Antwerp. L. W. y.

SI When Leonard Mori Is, of Cliico, went into a French restaurant on Lukin Street, near Grove, at 7 o'clock last night, he had lovely red whiskers a foot long and an appetite of which any man might be proud. Half an hour later Mr. , Morris appealed In tho receiving hospl-i tal us bald an a now squash and his face ! full of blisters. Ho also had shrimps j down ins hacK, ami was altogether as uncomfortable as a person could lie. Tho only object Mr. Morris had in going to the restaurant was to eat something. Ho had no Idea of committing arson on himself, but that dire misfortune over took tho unhappy person from Chlco. "Will you havo tobblo doto?" Inquired the waiter, an ho slapped a moist napkin down iu front of Mr. Morris. "Well, no," ho replied, In a hesitating manner. "Von can just fetch me iu something to eat." Tho waiter smiled ami opened out with soup. The man from Chico was at homo in that department, and the llsh and en trees stood no show with him whatever. Ho also called for a bottle of brandy, and spilled several "ponies" of ho liquor among his luxuriant whiskors. When the dessert came on Mr. Morris was feeling llrst-rale, but as tho waiter placed on tho table a plate of plum pudding from which leaped forked tongues of hluo Ilamo the diner grew uneasy. Ho said nothing, however, but when tho waiter turned his back Mr. Morrip, of Chlco, bent over and tried to blow out tho ilamo on tho burning sauce. As ho did so tho tip of his brandy-soaked whiskers came in' contact with tho bluo Ilamo and Morris at once resolved him self into u No,v Year's torchlight proces sion of ono. With a wild shriek ho aroso and start ed for tho kitchen, passing between two rows of tables tilled with startled feed- ore. nil Tor nenvon s siiko put mo out, some body!" yelled Mr. 'Morris, clawing wildly ut his illuminated hair and whiskers. A couple of waiters started in pursuit us tho living holocnst turned tho lower ond of tho dining room und took tho buck trnil. Tho odor of burning whisk ers wus suffocating, nnd a cloud of black smoke hovored Jn tho wako of Mr. Mor ris. As ho ncured tho cushior's desk tho proprietor, with grout presence of mind, grubbed tho soltzer bottlo und turned u stream on Ids sizzling customer. At tho sumo moment a quick wittcd wuiter dumped a hugo bowl of shrimp salad ovor tho head und shoulders of Morritf, which acted us u complete oxtinguishori "Hub tho lire department been Bout for yotY" faintly inquired tho victim of brandy sauce, us ho wiped tho salad dressing out of his oyos und drew a hundfull of shrimps from his bosom. Morris wus not seriously burned, but ho wub somewhat oxcltod. After his wounds hud been dressed ho said: "Hereafter cold grub will do for mo. I'm no Bidamnnder." Smi Francisco Ciro. icle. ON SLIPPERY PUCES. And then sho fell into his arnm. But it wasn't in tho hut chapter of tho novel. It wus in real life along the capital to boggan slido, park street, ono day last week. And sho weighed a great dsal more than tho heroines in novels ovor woigh und she wus neither young nor beauti ful. And it wus bo entirely unexpected, for ho wus ubsorbed in picking his danger ous but dignified way up tho icy stretch towurd the stuto house und guvo no heed to tho avalanche that wub sliding down upon him. And then ho was buried under it und two fruntic nrms wore excitedly ut tached to his neck in whut should huvo been u rapturous embrace. But it wasn't. , Sho tottorcd to her feet and caught at tho side of a building with what wub mount to bo it posture of haughty indig nation, nnd, as impressively as u woman whoso hut Ih crooked and whoso buck hair is fulling down may deliver herself, sho pronounced ono freozinc word: "Sir!" Tho thormomotora nil over tlio city felt tho depression in ho utmosphoro. Ho wus ojcupied iiufeollng tho depres sion in his now dorbj Ho drew Uiim solf up with as much dignity as was compatible with tho retention of his equilibrium, and with u pained accent in his voice ho suid: "Mudum, I assure you,' und then he sat down on tho pavement ut hor foot suddenly und impressively. Nut she hud discreetly unfurled tho screen of hor big umbrella und tukoi to tho mlddlo of tho street, lcuvlng him tho cynosure of ull tho smiles in tho vicinity. And then ho picked himself up und started towurd tho stuto house, Baying things that immodiutely made tho mer cury rise to tho top of Deacon Hill.
