JoHNsroN's ART Tour OF .EURoPE.-We
paid several visits TO see this great work of
art now exhibiting at Institute Hall, and so
beautiful are the scenes portrayed, we almost
fancied we were taking the tour of Europe.
Colonel Johnston, the distinguished Ameri-
can artist who made Me sketches and delivers
the lecture, is a most humorous and why
character. His songs arc alone worth visit.
While the lecture abounds in information,
wit, sentiment and pathos, we arc happy in
saving there is nothing said or done TO wound
the feelings of the most fastidous. Our
citizens should not fail to hear the Colonels
humorous lecture hear his songs and see his
panorama of Europe. There is freshness in
Colonel Johnston's jokes that arc really re-
freshinr. There has not been lecturer here
who has met the appreciation ofour citizens so
fully as Col. ]. We find he is not only an
artist OF great merit, but as landscape and
portrait painter he has few equals Asa singer
he EQUALS the best as a humorous lecturer
none surpass him. Ills being taken for Horace
Greeley, by some of our citizens, is gooC
Joke. There is not the slightest resemblance
between the Colonel and Mr.. Grecley-thC
Colonel wears much better clothes, and is STYLED
handsome man
our citizens should not fail 10 see his heauii
full painting. As a work ofort it has not beel
surpassed by anything heretofore exhibited j
This city. The transformation scenes ar
worth the price of admission, to say nothing
the instructive character Of the lecture, an
the admirable singing that accompanies IT,
CmcAoo.-A correspondent OF the Phil
delphia Press, writing from Chicago, und'
date Of Nov. 9th, says:
Upon my arrival in this miorlu
ate city l expected TO see every count
nance depicting sorrow and fright al
a trembling apprehension in regard TO u
future. Instead, found people full OF WI
and snap, who now look upon me late lerIlt
confederation as a fatal event that could Il
be avoided. and That they must go 10 WORK
build up as soon as possible.
Chicago is city of wood, and as long
they build frame houses, and the lake a
prairie gales occur, immense fires mi
naturally occur. The past season was We
dry one, and the city Just in condition 10 pu
when once started under Roadway.
II is said that 800 persons were burned III
inc the prorrcss of the fire, but as yet o.
about 2jO bodies have been recovered. J
