Especial Correspondence OF the Chicago Trlhnae.1
The last week in May is always an important
onc in HoEton's calendar. It is the week of
Anniversaries. It's standing joke is umbe1
los, and white crayats, and rural districts. All
the Tcek is rainy, or misty, or drizzleT. An
exception to this rule occurs once In q decade,
and this week has been the exception. Though
there VAS much talk when the war broke out
Of Gefeniug tho Anniversaries, the Cles5gmen
srd Laity and Delegates wisely determined 10
bold them, and 10 discontinue cnty the tessa!
occcEians which commonly make an attractive
Part Of the weeks ceremonies. So this weak
NC lave been blessed with our usual visitation
Of broadcloth and white neckcloth, and the
sun has smiled upon us the while. It is curl
GUS to read the reports Of the various meet-
ings, aud TO trace the influence Of the w1r up
on the deliberations Of each. Whatever the

bej1jgerent result, and ended ii an appeal to
arms. Not an Association that has not emphat-
iCally put on record its devotion to the cOun-
try and the flag; not a speaker who has not
been earnest il professions of patriotism, and
expressions Of deaire to serve the cause Of
ciety seemed esger to prove that the 1nagnl-
fude of the crisis now upon us, had driven
from their minds all thoughts Of adhering to
professions which they have been SO stoutly
making lor many yeara. Their first speaker
Know What ground liz advocate Of peaee
could ttand on in q time Ike this;

old:time principles, Immediately launched

Cameron himself might make The other
| speakers followed in the same stEain, and the
general sum Of the Peace meeting would f1s
| ure up more 1orudly On tho side Of War than
| that Of any meeting Of the week. This shows,
| significantly enough, the absorbing interest Of
| to wage it vigorously. Beyond their imoor-'
tance a5 lending the formal clerical sanction
| 10 the war, the Anniversaries have not been
prolific in incidents Of general interest. Their
| chief attraction to the unfhinAlng public is
| the crowd Of people whom they bring into
the city. TIE hare had the most delightful
weather during the week, and Washington
! kt1eet has been dense with human mob of
! MI SORTS and conditions. Military movements
have been rather mere the order Of the day
| Than in the past week or two, and patriotism
and love Of military disnlsy has helped to
d; What with these elements Of attractiven25s,

indeed. The Iu1nber Of flags IL Ing from roof,

ten strest between Sta:o street and the Boyis-

! something astounding. It think it might be

this do not include tho little 1laglets which
| pIotrGde from windows, In dozens, scores
