SUNDAY LIFE IN CHICAGO. Here is
a picture of Sunday life 10 Chicago,
a city now and for some time under
Republican administration. 1t is
furnished by the Times:
Here in Chicago on Sunday we
we have fifty-six churches open du-
ring the forenoon aud evening; but
at the same time there are no less
than eighty ball rooms, in each OF
which the band plays from morning
till midnight, and Waiting goes on
without intermission. In addition
to these festivities, we have two the
aires, each with its performers in
tights and very short garments, rlv-
alIing Elsler in their graceful evoIu-
lions. Saloons have their front
doors closed by proclamation, but do
a thriving business through side en-
frances.
The prosperity Of Chicago is in a
good degree of the sham order, judg-
ing by he papers of that city congrat-
ulaiing the merchants and business
men, that, although the fourth of
April was an extraordinary pinching
day, 10 note papers, 'three-tourshs OF
allthe collections on Eastern accounts
were paid, and that only about one
half of the domestic paper falling due
ON that day went To proteSii
