YuE MARKET
always take great pleasure in visiting
a market. for in market we may obtain
an insight ii tle civilization Of commu-
nifty quite as well AZ in school house on
y church There we see thr different
strata of sueicty The rich, the intelli-
gent, the refined. those who walk the high
plane of life come to market 10 purchase
their dinner. The mechanic, the common
laborcr, the doctor, lawyer, minister, or
their wives, are sure to be there to pur-
chase and there all the country is repre-
scnted by farmers and gardeners, or their
wives and children, who bring III their
turkeys, chickens, onions, apple sauce and
straw berries. You see at glance society
in the concrete.
Here at Detroit We see the cosmopoli-
tan character of 4 american Society. Ina
Asinc u long shed in wide street. The
butcher and fish men have their stalls at
one end, and the centre we have Germany
and England represented. In those coun-
tries we may purchase in the market any
thing from a thimble to u hoop skirt, from
Il bit OF tape to u silk dress. from tea
spoon to a shovel, from porringer to a
cauldrou kettle 1t Is so here. Every
thing raised on the farm, III the garden,
in tlo hot-house or conservatory
thing in the hardware line, in the crock
cry line. with great variety in the dry
goods and ready-made clothing depart
ments, may be obtained under the De-
troit market shed. The little chubby
faced frauline who smiles so pleasantly
as we purchase nosegay, came over two
years ago in an emgrant ship from Bre-
men, with her father and mother and a
thousand OF her countrymen, who looked
with wondering eyes up to the grand old
oaks, such AS she never saw in the Fa.
theriand, who could not speak word OF
our language when she landed, now ans
wers our every question. She is clearly
Amerlcanized.
I Here, in the market, we can see at 1
glance the future composite man of Amer
I ica-the citizen with half-dozen differ
ent bloods in his veins and conglomer
ate language on his tongue.
\ GREAT PROJECT.
The Michigan Central Railroad Com
pany have great project in view-th,
construction of tunnel under the De
troit river, so as to make unbroken rail
way connection between Chicago ane
/ Boston.
Mr.. Chesbrough, the engineer of th'
Chicago lake tunnel and that under th'
Chicago river. is employed on the survey
| and will soon have an estimate of its cost
The project is feasible, and when complet
ed will be far better than bridge. Th'
success of the Chicago tunnels warrant
the undertaking.
