4 BeansifM Piciwys is THE Home Of WASH
ingtou after the War; now on exhibition at
Mechanics Institute Hall, and we really feel
surprised that SO few Of our citizens have
visited it, Apart from the historical recoliec-
tiOns which cluster around the home of FASH
ingtOn, the painting, as work Of art, is Of
the most attractive character. Every figure
on the canvas seems imbued with life, and
one car readily imagine that he hears the mu-
steal voice OF that great and good man. as he
earnestly talks 10 Lafayette Of the times in
which they lived. But apart from the figures 3,
each of which is admirable in coloring and
proportions, the landscape is beautiful beyond
comparison. We a.sure our readers that a
visit will be we'll repaid, and that they will
not regret it.

THE GREAT JoB-That job OF Jobs, the rails.
ing OF the entire block OF buildings on the north
side OF Lake street, from Clark to La Sale
streets. is progressing rapidly. The buildings
are being undermined, and the huge timbers
got under. and to some extent, the screws have
been in operation. Persons unacquain ted with
the details of raising entire blocks of massive
masonry, can form no adequate idea of the
stupendous enterprise. A very short time ago,
when we first read of the raising of brick and
stone buildings, we were struck with amaze
ment. Wooden buildings were raised every
day but this getting under solid walls and
raising them without shivering the super
structure into thousands Of fragments, was
quite another thing. We regarded it In the
light ofan untested and speculative theory-a
bubble, which would burst and end in rothng-
ness. But, "facts are stubborn things" AS the
trite adage expresses it ; and the fact is that
ocular demons nstration the great leveler of un.
belief and incredulity, has lef. us no possible
chance for doubt. We have seen huge brick
and stone edifices going right up before our
eyes, several feet in the air, propelled by the
power OF the mighty screw. livery day in
Chicago, may be witnessed this spec tacle. The
greater portion of the buildings in our most
public streets have been raised in this manner
from two TO eight feet; and those which have
not been raised, must sooner or later come sup
to grade Chicago HeYaid.
