RECOVERING THEIR SPIRITS.
There is a marked change in the spirit of the
people. The first feeling, of utter prostration,
has given way to confidence. The burnt dis
trict is no longer an object of interest, save as
to the situation of sites for rebuilding. Every
business man who can find shed in which to
resume has begun business. Country debtors
are renting their claims, and insurance solyen-
cy becomes more and more promising.
NOT WANTED.
Gen. Sheridan makes request, through the
associated press, of people not to come there
anxious to visit Chicago from mere curiosity. |
Thousands of this class are here now, without
shelter Or accommodation, and must be fed and
cared for the same as the sufferers.
