CHICAGO, January 29, 1858.
EDS TRIBUNE:-
Such mild, pleasant weather, as we are
now being blessed with, is always taken
advantage of by everybody and every
thing. More sleighs were out yesterday
and to-day than any other time this sea-
son. It looks more like a picture than a
reality to see a gaily painted cutter,
prancing horses, finely dressed occupants
dash by at rapid pace, the reality is
proven however by being obliged to run
to escape being trodden under foot; we
sometimes are pleased to have these gay
turn-outs stopped for US by the police
men, at the busy part of the city.
The holidays have come and gone, the
lecturers, public readers and everything
of interest the same. Anna Dickinson
has spoken and not to q crowded house as
the Tribune of this city gravely asserted
the next morning. We we're very mach
surprised to see SO many vacant seats be-
fore such noted lecturess. The fact OF
it is the Americans are too fast a people
to be long taken up with one person, and
having once seen and heard, and satisfied
curiosity, clamor for something new. \
young lady in the time OF war, urging
the rescue Of our country when our sons
were fighting and our hearts were bleed
for it, would draw a crowded house, but
a young lady in the time of peace, urging
reconstruction, when we ourselves neef
it as individuals, after SO long a warfare
is quite another thing: even Vincent with
his readings drew more Of u house THAI
she.
The Young Mems Christian Associa
lion Building is still burning. IF any on'
wishes to contribute to christianity h
can do it on no broader platform than
this. Send your money to help build
again, and it will return as bread cas-
upon the water" When your sons an(
daughters come into this great wicked Cit.
in want Of friends, home and society. it
object is to supply them and many ;
young man has it saved from sin Of F.,
loathing kind, BY opening up to hin
path of responsibility and intelligence
The Sociables in this hall were not of th'
cold kind that are generally found witt
in the wallr Of Church; if you were ;
stranger it was known, you were intro
duced to others, asked TO join the band
come into the reading room and get ae
quainted All these wsre free, and open
ed ways and means for the thousands t
enjoy themselves who could not pay 70
it. Again this institution was the instru
mentality Of uniting the different d9nom
nations of this city. Clergymen of a
sects joined themselves together, droppet
all sectarianism and worked only to ad
vance the right and put down the wrong
We know all the colulnny tina, has beer
heaped upon this Association, but W
know at the same time the loose manner
and morals Of the persons that are guilt!
of such ingratitude TO humanity.
Business is, as you probably know duh
not dull only but dry aud pinched up
dare not expand itself lest it should cracl
and find in the fearful abyss OF g fail
ure, its grave. Stores are selling on
at cost closing up. sc, there IS feehn:
in moneyed circles that colcano is un
derneath and the only way to avoid it i
to tread lightly.
Ladies think as much as ever of dress
The hair is now generally worn without
net, being braided around a French twist
1t Is worn very high at parties but mode
rate for out door; bonnets are CROWNS
beautifully less aud soon there will b,
no need of any. Very long trails ar,
worn IN door and some are very elecan
Ia appearance. One of the neatest dres
ses we have seen this season, was a colder
brown silk, trimmed with costly lace i
the form of bertha, the skirt bein
plain. Loose fitting paletots withou
trimming are much worn at present.
