ENrERTATNIN' REMARKS"

1t is not the correct thing at all to
laugh at the misfortune of people; but
what can one do when placed in the
position narrated in the following by a
Connecticut correspondent:
In the procession following good
Deacon Jones to the grave last summer,
Rev. -, tho new minister of East
Town, found himself in the carriage with
an elderly man whom he had never be-
fore met. They rode in silence for
few moments, when the clergyman en-
deavor to improve the occasion by serl-
Gus conversation.
"This is a solemn duty in which We
arc engaged my friend" he said. 'HeyS
what did you say sir ~ the old man re-
turned. "Can't yo speak louderY I'm
hard of hcarin."
81 was remarking,' shouted tho min
lister, "that this is solemn road we arc
travelling to-day.
"Sandy road! You don't call this ere
sandy, do you? / guess | amt been
down to the South Distrio. Theirs a
stretch of road on the pike that beats all
| every sec for hard travelin." Only a
week aforc Deacon Jones tuck sick met
him drivin' his OK team along there, and
the sand was pretty nigh up to tho hubs
of the wheels. The Deacon used to get
dretful rilid bout that piece of road, and
East Town does SO ahead of all creation
for sand"
The young minister leaked blank at
the unexpected turn given to his re-
marks; but quickly recovering himself,
and raising his voice to the highest pitch,
he resumed the conversation.
"Our friend has done with all the dis
comforts" he said solemn!y ga small
spot of ground will soon cover his sense
less clay"
"Did you say clay, sir y said the old
man eagerly, "Tain't nigh SO good to
cover sand with as mcdcr loan. SEE |
to Mr.. Brown, last town-mcetin' day, eff
you'd cart on few dozen loads-and
there's acres of it on the river bank"
seq I, "you'd make as pretty piece of
road as there is in Hartford county
But we are slow folks in East Town, sir"
1t was perhaps fortunate for the min
lister at that moment that the smell of the
now-made hay from neighboring field
suggested fresh train of thought.
''Look," said he with graceful wavc
Of the hand "what an emblem of tho
brevity ofhuman life ! As the grass of
the field so man hoursheth, and to-mor-
row he is cut down.
~ don't calculate to cut mine till next
week. said his companion. "You
mustn't cut grass too airly and then
again you must not cut it too late"
'My friend" shricked the minister,
in last desperate attempt to make
himself understood, "this is no place for
vain conversation. We are approaching
the narrow house appointed Ter all the
living"
They were entering the grave yard
but the old man stretched his neck from
the carriage window in the opposite di-
rection.
'Do you mean Squire Hubbard's
over .yonder3 IT'S rather narrOtc.
They build all them new tangled houses
that way nowadays. To my mind they
amt nigh so handsome, nor so handy TO
do chores in, as the old fashioned square
ones, with broad entry runnin' clear

The public have been led to suppose that
there would be practically no opposition to
the election OF Hon. Charles Hitchcock as
Judge of the Supreme Court in the district
composed of the counties of Cook, Lake,
kankakee, Dupage, and VIII. The dis
tinguished services OF Mr. Hitchcock as
President of the late Constitutional Con-
vention, no less than his high standing as
lawyer and his eminently judicial turn
Of mind, all seem 10 point to him
as the man whom it would be most fo1tu-
nate for the people to put upon the Su-
preme Bench. The simultaneous endorse
rnent which he received from all the lead
ing newspapers of the city was the result
of no preconcert, but rather response to
nearly universal public sentiment that be
was the best man for the place. Since it
has been determined to hold Republican
Convention Of the district, and since Nh.
Hitchcock cannot, in the nature of things,
assume the attitude Of seeker after the
Office, we hope that the evident wishes of
the great body Of the people in regard to
his election may be respected by that body

Two years ago We called tho attention of
the health md pleasure-seeke1s of the
country to the advantages of Chicago as
place Of resort, during the heated term.
The newspapers of other cities affected to
ridicule the notion that Chicago offered
any inducements to those seeking health
and rest and pure mir and comfort, and an
escape from the torrid heats and unhealthy
atmosphere Of other places. But our eff
forts to set forth the salubrity of Chicago
were not without effect. Last year there
we're hundreds OF visitors who spent the
summer months in Chicago; and this year
the throng of tourists and p1easure-seekers
will be doubled. The fact is, there is no
other place in the country which affords
such advantages. Chicago offers what can
not be found anywhere else, all the luxu-
1ies of metropolis, with purity of air
and water, and absence of excessive heats.
Here we are, almost in the middle of June,
with the thermometer struggling to get
above co, and with fires in our CRATES every
night and morning while those who have
unluckily taken down their stoves are COM
pe1led to 20 to bed at sundown to Keep
warm.
Visitors to Chicago, during the summer
season, can enjoy all the comforts Of spa
cious and well-appoiuted hotels which do
not feel it to be part Of their business to
e1tort, during season Of two months, the
profits of whole year. The city is con-
nected by rail with every part Of the land.
The fruits of California and Havana are re-
ceived daily; the lakes and streams of the
Northwest pour into Chicago, three times
day, every variety Of fresh water fish, as
sweet as when first taken from their native
element The plains and prairies, which
extend from Chicago to the Missouri River,
are under tribute to supply us with every
kind Of game, There is no delicacy that
the most fastidious appetite can demand
that may not be had in Chicago, as fresh
and as pure as can be obtained on any other
part OF the continent.
In another respect, Chicago has peculiar
advantages to the summer visitor and to the
tourist It is in the heart Of the country,
and from it, by few hours' excursion, the
visitor can reach almost any other place
In si1 hours he can find himself in the re-
gion Of grouse and quail, and be home
aea'n at night. In two hours he can put
hlmset where ducks aid other aquatic fowl
may be found without number. II he feel
disposed to hunt the dee1, he can, in three
days excursion, have all the sport he needs
and be back again in Chicago. Keeping
Chicago as base, he may visit Niagara. or
he msy enjoy the story Of Hiawatha by q

Mr.. D. J. Morrell, in his letter to Mr.
Samuel J. Reeves, begging the latter indi-
vidual not to oabandon the Republican party,
Schenck Tariff bill was not passed, says that
there should be "a thorough organiza-
ton of all the tndustriaz interests of the
country" with view to secure the triumph
of the sublime doctrine of protection in the
mex Congress. It is plain that the phrase
!" industrial interests" as employed by Mr..
Morrell, refers to those branches of in
dustry which claim that they cannot sup
port themselves, and, therefore, ask that
laws be enacted to support them at the pub,
lie expense, as,' for instance, q law compell-
ingA B, and to contribute the products
of two days labor to obtain, from the
Cambria Works, Of Pennsylvania, q
given quantity Of steel, which
might otherwise be obtained with
one days labor. These establishments
being called industrial interests, it is i'm
piled, of course, that the interests which do
not live upon the poor rates, but, on the
contrary, make good the losses said to be
are not industrial interests, but are some
thing else. In order to establish for any
trade or occupation the right to be called
an industrial interest, it is necessary, there
fore, to show that it il in condition Of
mendicancy; that it cannot pay its own
way that every time its wheels 60 around
1t consumes capital which somebody else
has produced that if it should happen to
lose the power to tax the public to the ex-
tent, at least, of making goodits OWL losses,
it would give up the ghost Mr. Moue1l
and his clan are constantly striving, but
with Indifferent success, to prove that they
belong to the category Of paupers for
whom the contribution box ought to be
regularly passed around. And, having
come as near as they can to proving that
they are burden to the community, they
style themselves tho ''industrial Interests :"
of the country. Was there ever more

disposed to make more extended visits,
Chicago offers him the facilities of viewing
the grand highway to the Pacific, OF
dropping in upon the Saints at Salt
Lake, crossing the Sierra Nevada,
and of looking out through the
Golden Gate upon the road to China
and Japnn. But in Chicago itself there is
an ine1haustible fund Of interest. Within
an area of thirty miles there is q succession
of rural precincts, blooming with fruits
and flowers, and smiling in peaceful quiet
upon the edge of the metropolis. To all
these, north, and south, and west along
the shores Of the lake, OF out on the flower
decked prairies there will soon be drives,
compared to which those of Saratoga, New
port, and Long Branch will be but village
by-waya. In fact, visitors to Chicago will
ind here every comfort and luxury of
metropolitan life, with all the hea1th-givine
enjoyments of pure air. pure water, cool
nights, and m absence Of those excessive
midday heats which render life intolerable
elsewhere But if they come in June they
should not forget to bring their oyercoats
and furs.
To those who have not seen Chicago dur
ing the last two years, the progress of this
city in all that pleasure-seekers desire has
kept pace with its commercial advance.
Compared with other cities, read this faint
ly-d1awn picture by an unwilling witness,
in the Cincinnati Commercial. He writes:
