LAKE WATER TRIUAPHANT.-Ihe deep
cut of the canal to allow the draining OF the
Chicago river into the Illinois, which was
comuleted and the water let in on Saturday
last, has already proved decided success.
Ihe spectacle Of river flowing up stream
is strange characteristic Of this locality,
and it is doubtful if another example can
be found in any other country. 1t is as no.
vel and original a conception as the lake
tunnel for the water works, and great
many other improvements with which the
CITY abounds. The flow toward the land
gives, at present writing, a weil-defined cur
rent the black composition has given way
to the green and fresh waters Of Lake Mich
igan, and the change has been so marked ss
to give immediate relief. The, event Is one
of the most important that will ever mark
the, history of the eity.-Chcd3o Post.
The Philadelphia Bulletin gives the fol-
lowiDg: interesting description Of the great
work: Ssi'r< SO -
The Illinois and Michigan canal afforded
n water communication between the Chi
cago and Illinois rivers, but its level was
too high to carry water enough to make
the desired change Of current. So the peo-
pie got q law passed authorizing the deep:
ening of the summit level OF the Canal, so
as to bring it below the level of Lake Mich.
iean. and this work has just been finished
at i cost of several millions of, dollars, On
SATURDAY. morning last, the water was let
into the deepened canal at Bridgeport, and
Immediately the current OF the river was
reversed, and the clear waters OF the lake
began to drive the foul waters of the river
through and out Of the city, and down
through the prairie lands to the Illinois.
Thousands of people gathered on the
bridge to witness the phenomenon of clear
water running up, stream.,r. ..f3ss :n.ss. - !:
by Monday morning last the main river
and the north branch, in which the main
bulk Of the commerce OF. Chicago Is har-
bored, had become almost as clear as the
lake, the water assuming the color Of that
vast inland sea: Along the line Of this, deep
ened canal the progress Of this lake water is
watched with great interest. It's approach
is announced at each place by foul odor,
Fas: thea accumulate tons from Chicago are
pushed forward. 8 At Lock port, twenty six
miles ,aWay, they: smelt it:0n Monday after
noon, and the advance column of pure wa
ter was only mile or two behind. People
ali along the Illinois, and perhaps down. the
Mississippi to New Orleans, will smell Chi
cago for 8 time; andWill have to hold their
noses until lake and river are fairly inter
mingled. - 80 - : : = =,

Paris Under Bombardment.

The public has become gradually
familiarized with the idea OF The bonn.
bardment of Paris, which ut first
startled every ~.efecting mind, and we
now read the successive telegrams
announcing the effects of the shot and
shell thrown upon the city of cities
with hardly more concern than we
would Of artillery practice on targets
made for the nccasion. The cable
dispatches CURLY repUrt that the sub
urbs Of Paris are ltopelessly gwen up
to the range of the frussian FIRE /; that
the fire OF the beiegers is marked by
great accuracy. and that the shells
reach the Palace of,Laxemboarg and
the Place de la Coneorde that IS, the
center of Paris, If the Pfussian ar
~tillerists wish to set Paris ON fire,
they can do SO without in the least
pretending to the honor of good
marksmen. Rows of houses stretch
ing Tor miles are not the kind of
targets that require much aiming ;
and King William, whose appetite
seems to have been nourished for such
work, can, without the slightest expo
SIRE either OF himself or those who
direct the besleging guns, lay in ruins
the beautiful suburbs of Passy, Auteuil
and Vanguard, and destroy. besides,
everything that is precious in the
palace of Luxembourg. The shots
are sure to mike nc distinction be-
tween the ancient statues OF Aristides,
Pericies, Cicero. tie paintings OF
Titan, and those Of Horace yernet ;
and Luxembourg, with Its precious
galleries of art, its valuable collection
of books and manuscripts, will yield
to the shells as well rs a common
factory Or a livery stable. Success in
the destruction of lite and works of
art Is q certainty; the experiment
can not possibly fail but we have,
somehow, strong doubts of its justice.

Whatever they may think of these

be regarded with detestation. Though
engaged in a war in which the life'nof
our commonwealth was at stake The
Government of the United States
furnished the world an example wor-
thy OF q free people, from which the
Prussian monarch and his advisers
might we'll rave profted. In no in-i

our own armies rendered every facil-

position of the Prussians, will spread

and this effective warfare on women,
children and other non combatants' IS,
expected to force the defenders of
Paris TO surrender. This cold-blooded
calculation may perhaps succeed but
the aged King and his knighted agents
are gricvously mistaken if they think
the reduction OF Paris by such means
