cage. the metropolis of the West is reach-
ed. Should it. perchance, be one‘s first
Visit to this modest city. there are reasons
for believing that the first impression will
not he a favorable one. But one is more
interested in and intent upon viewing the
attractions of a city rather than those
things which are offensive to the sight.
It will not be siniss. just here. if the writ-
er gives a brief history of the city and
describes the features which commend
themselves to a stranger visiting Chicago.

The first settlement was made in lSO-t.
at which time old Fort Desi-born. a block-
house. wss built. The massacre of the
.arrioon by the Indians. the destruction
of the fort. and the removal of all the res-
idents took place in 1812. and the site was

tioally abandoned until lSlB. The
ity was not favorably regarded by
maul. however. and it remained a more
Indian trading post long. after other
points had been quite extensively settled.
In the latter part of the year 1330 there
were but fifteen houses at the post. and
thesowere all log cabins. The regular
lation did not number over one hun-

ted persons. of whom. perhaps. one
third were half-breeds and negroes. The
first frame building was erected in 1832.
and the first brick building in thefollowing
year; the latter was still standing at the
time of the fire in lSTl. The town of
Chicago was organized in 1833. and the
city was incorporated March {1837. at
which time the population was 4.170.
Ten years later the population was four
times that number. and in 18-30 the cen-
sus showed a total of 28.269. Thencefor-
ward the increase was very much more
rapid. being at the rate of nearly twenty~
five per cent a yiar until 1355. when the
ulation was 80.023; in 1860 it was 199.~

; in “65. 178.539; in 1870. 299.370; in
1875. 400.000; and in lsStl it was 593.304.
The complete network of railroads
which center in Chicago enables a large
number of families whose business and
interests are in the city. to live in the sub-
urban towns. of which there are a great
number; these people. strictly speuking.
belong to Chicago. but they are not
counted in estimating the eiiy‘s popula~

ion. . _

The s read of the city has been in or
ecu of t e growth of population. since so
large it tion of the inhabitants own the
houses t iey occupy. The strwts are laid
out on A generous scale. and is iiiiuorit ‘
of the residences have grounds attache.
equal. at least. to the sluli‘r‘ occupied by
the building. For these reasons t e area
covered by the city proper \muld iii iuost
other cities contain more 1hipltlt‘lll.lfl. The

noral health of the city \svscelleut. and
t e death rule is voimvtrzitively small.

At the present time the grout features
of lnterv‘st in l'lllt‘ttgtl ow thiw which bin
long to the business life of the place.
Several prmnisiiig tirt collections were
totally tlvstt‘oyml at the time of the grunt
fire. and. since that llttlt‘. both the money
and the time necessary to replace them
have boon locking. Those things Will in.
evltahly {‘Hlllt‘. its time repairs the lossvs
of the grunt tire. The handsome build.
logs. the immense elevation and packing
establishments. the Union stock yards.
the great engineering works. and thosys-
tent of parks and boulevards constitute
the sights which Chicago has to snow to
the stranger. . .

The rebuilt portion of the citv Iii it com
tinuous object of interest. hos-"e who
looked on the waste of nmuldering ruins
extending for three miles through the
heart of the citv. on the tenth day of 0cto~
be: 1871. and who have since liemi absent.
out now hardly realize that this is the
same city. Ample triicus 01’ the tire yet
remain. In some localities there are com
siderable spaces vuczmt or covered by
merely temporary st.‘ucttll't38: but in the
South Division the burnt district has been
rebuilt with line. substantial buildings.
While in the Northern Division. which is
almost wholly devoted to residences and
retail business. the hand-tome dwellings
now outnumber the vacant lots.

The elevators are among the principal
sources of the business of the city. They
handle millions of bushels of grain every
season. and nothing gives a heticr idea of
the immensity of the groin interests than
to see one of these establishments in full
operation. receiving hunt the railroad
car: and canal boats and discharging into
vessels for shipment to the East. The
visitor Will be well reprint for devoting a.
day or two to the examination of these
great buildings.

The same may be said of the packing
houses. where live hogs go in at one side:
and come out :it the other in the shape of
ham. bacon. sides. lord and bristles. This
process cannot be \vitiiessed duringtlie
summer. as the packing is done only in
cold weather. A visit to the packing
house should be made after having gone
through the Union stock yards. where the
live stock is received and sold. The ar-
rnngement of this really wonderful place
cannot fail to excite a lively interest.

The system by which Chicago is sup.
plied with water is a very reinarkab e
one. When the city iii-st erected water-
works a large pumping engine was placed
in a convenient building on the lake shore
at the foot of Chicago avenue. and. the
necessary head to supply the highest build-
in wssohtained by limping toagieat
he ght in a tower. T e water was taken
from a basin extending only about two
hundred yards from the shore. and in the
spring and summer the stinioii drew in
millions of fish. varying in length from
one inch to two feet. The fish nuisance
who had enough, but soon a worse evil be-
come frequent. The Chicago river had
gradually become one of the foulest
streams on the continent. and the volume
of garbage which it emptied into the lake
was enormous. As the river's mouth was
In than a mile distance from the wster-
works basin. a strong south wind would
cause the putrifying filth of the river to
be driven up the shallow water along the

was in: ated. The nuisance lxlcame
intolers y offensive at times. and it was
evident that some lan was necessa to
furnish the city wit pure water. In 86!.

The in of parks and boulevards
adonted is one of its chief at-
tractions. The natural advantages of the

place are not great. owing to the level
country surrounding it. but a great deal
has been done to give the inhabitants sev-
eral attractive places of outdoor resorts.
and_ constant additional improvements
are in progress.

0n the north, Lincoln Park extends
alert the lake share for nearl a mile.
god it is s most delightful spot or walk-
ing. riding and driving.

It‘s southern entrance is only two
miles from the center of the city. and it
can be reached either b horse cars or by
driving out along the ks Shore drive.
Lincoln Park is a perfect gem. and it is
frequented by thousands of people during
warm weather. There are two shes con-
nected bv a broad canal. and they are
favorite places for boating parties. The
canal is crossed by several bridges of
tasteful and harmonious designs. which
add greatly to the picturesque air of the
place. Here. during the day tinie.groups
of merr children with their nurses stand
and f the swans and other waterfowl.
which are domesticated in a handsome
watcrvhouse on one of the lakes. The
walks and drives are very agreeably laid
out. and landscape gardenin has here
been carried to an universe degree of
perfection. Near the center of the park
is a boat-house and refreshment room
with every convenience for comfort. and
close by is the highest elevation in the
park. whence it general view of the whole
can be obtained. Two afternoons in ev-
ery week during the summer a band
plays in the park. and the attendance is
then enormous. Occasional moonlight
concerts are also given. Chicago is noted
for the number of private carriages owned
by her citizens. and for the amount of
driving done by the people there : hence.
whenever these concerts occur. there. is
always an immense assemblage of stylish
equipnges. and the scene is a very gay one.

(Erfmcf from Dr. Tulmage‘s Sermom dc-
lll‘t’f‘t‘tl Sunday Morning Nov. IS. 1881.
There sprang up in Yucatan. on this

continent. a weed which has bewitched

the world. It crossed the Atlantic Ocean
in the fifteenth century. and on tureil

Spain. Then it capturvd Portugnnaiid

then the French suibassadou took it to

donna. so all those poisons which lie di-

rectly created or bad man to extract. But

the same God who made the poisons also
created us with Coninionvseusc to know
how to use them. and how not to use
them.

“Uh!" say some of my friends. don't

themselves. and are there not cases of
plethora which absolutely need this dc-
pletion?" Uh you! Skilful and prudent
)hysicisiis have sometimes pn-scnbcd it
Just as they sometimes prescribe arsenic.
and they rescribe it we 1. There can be
no doubt axiom its being poisonous. There
was a case reported in which a little child

her pipe fell on the chil '3 hp. and it went
into convulsions and into death.

"But“ you sav. "don't peo is live on to

so I have seen an inebriate seventy years
old. There are some persons who. in spite
of all the outrages to their physical system
live on to old age. In the case of the man
of the jug. lie lasted so long because he
was pickled! In the case of the man of
the i ._ he lasted so long because he was
turn into smoked liver!

But. my friends, what advice had we
better give to our young people? I say.
in the first place. let us advise them to
abstain from this habit because all the
medical fraternity of the United States
and Great Britain pronounce it the
cause of widen read and terrific unhealth.

Dr. A cw. r. Hamilton, Olcot. Dr.
Barnes. 1'. Woodward. Dr. Rush. Dr.
Hosach. Dr. Harvey. Dr. Moth—all the
fraternity—allopathic. homeopathic. hy~
dropetbic. eclectic—denounce the habit,
and warn the community against it. One
distinguished pb sician says: "This
habit is the cause 0 seventy dflerent styles
of disease. This habit is the cause of
nearly all the cases of cancer of the mouth.
“limit is the testimony of the late Dr. John
C. Warren. of Boston. than whom there
is no higher authority? He says: "I- or
more than thirty years I have been in the
habit of inquiring of patients who came
to me with the cancer of the tongue and
lips whether they used tobacco, and if so
whether they chewed or smoked, and if
they have sometimes answeied in the
negative as to the first question. I can tru-
ly say that to the best of my knowled
and belief such cases are exceptions to t e
general rule. When. as is usual] the
case. one side of the tongue is a ected
with ulcerated cancer it arises from the
habitual retention of the tobacco in con-
tract with this part."

Their united testimony is that it de-
presses the vitals of the system and brings
on nervousness and dyspepsia and takes
oi! twent dive per cent of the physical
vigor oft e people of this country. and

an acmunt for what I say today. but I
stand in the presence of a great multitude
of youn men who are forming their
habits. ltween seventeen and twenty-

men damsgin themselves irrctrievably
by tobaico. ‘ou either use very good
tobacco or (‘llt'flp tobacco. If you use

you use costly tobacco. let me any. I do
not think you can afford it. You take
that which you expend and will expend.
if you keep the habit iillyour life. and put
it aside. and it will buy you it farm to

Oh. my ouii friends. if you will ex-

Here is a serfdoni which has it shackle
that it is almost impossible to break. Gi-
gantic intellects that could overcome
every other bud hiibit have been flung to
this and kept down. Some one is seeking
to persuades man from the habit. The
reply was. “Ask me to do anything under
the canopy of.heaven but this. This I
cannot give up. and won't give up.

I must have a Word also with all those
of my friends whom it does not hurt. who
can stop :my time they wont to. and who
can smoke most expensive cigars. My
Christian brother. what is your influence
in the matter? How much can you afford
:0 deny yourself for the good of others?
twasn great in story to many le
why Governor Briyggs. of Mmohmtz.
wore a crsvat. but no collar. Some peo-
pic thought it was an absurd eccentricny.
Ah no! This was the secret. Manv years
before. he was talking with an inebrinte
and telling him that his habit was un-
necessary, and the inebriate rctortcd upon
him and said: “We do a great many
things thatare not necessary. It is not
necessary for you to wear that collar."
"Well," said Governor Brig “I never
will wear a collar in i you won‘t
drink." “A ." said the inebriste.
Governor ri never were a collar.
They both kept tto the death. That is
the reason Governor Briggs did not wear
a collar. That is the Gospel of the Son of
God. Self-denial for the good and the
rescue of others.

Oh, my brother, we might b little
eflort now and then saves man. y how
little or by how much self-denial are we
willin to be influenced? I stop at this
point. use I have no more time to
pursue the subject. although I have much
more to say upo it. I stop at this point
by throwing all tmmions of my soul
into one prayer: help usl—Chn'sft‘an
