A pleasant drive on the following morning
showed us Chicago in its best and busiest aspect.
The streets are broad and not too compactly built
up, and the city generally is spacious and open,
and has an airy appearance-albeit, the plank
streets in it's business part are far from clean.
The Chicago River winds its serPentlne course
through the midst, and vessels sail on its bosom,
the bridges opening TO let them pass through, and
closing immediately for the passage OF carriages.
The most desirable and fashionable residences are
on Mchigan-avenue, a fine street fronting the
Lake. between which and it is an inclosed strip OF
pubIic land set out with trees it will form IN
time one of the most magnificent drives IN any
CITY or the continent. There are several gardens

these gardens we visited in the afternoon, and had
many Identities pointed out by its intelligent pro-
prietor. The city limits extend 50 far out as to
afford room for vast increase of population II
few wears, however, may see them filed up. Great
numbers of cattle may be seen feeding on the
prairie and we were informed that il is customary
for those residents who keep cows, to give them
every morning into the charge of a heTdsman, who
takes them out, tends them while they feed all
! day, and brings them home at night. Far as the
eve can reach, a slightly elevated ridge may be
seen. on which part the streams whose waters
are to flow into the st. Lawrence, or find their
rest in the Gulf Of Mexico and so near are the
sources of each that at the breaking up of winter
an accident may lead either way the contribution
of a chance riguet.
One of the prettiest sights in Chicago is a
Church built Of kind of yariegated stone brought
from the prairles. 4 splendid panoramic view o.
the city and surrounding country can be had from
an observatory on the top Of the fremont House
