WHAT WAS DESTROYED IN CHICAGo.-we
have refrained publishing any map of the burnt
district. No map can impart the faintest con-
ceptiOn of the magnitude of the disaster which
has Overtaken the city. On the consumed por-
ton was concentrated the great bulk of the
wealth OF the city. 1t was also the most densely
populated part. The unconsumed part consists
chiefly Of private residences, multitudes of them
cheap wooden structures. A map of the CITY
plat exhibits a vast area untouched by fire; but
II does not convey the information that not less
than eighteen square miles of this space is open
prairie, on which scarcely a habitatiOn has vet
been erected. 1t was annexed from the adioin-
ing townships TO accommodate the future growth
OF the city and for park purposes. We think 1t
would be safe TO estimate that two-thirds of the
capital invested in buildings in the entire CITY
persisted on that dreadful Monday.-Ch Chicago Tn

GREAT NAVAL DRILL.-The combined SQUAD

great field day OFF the coast of Portugal Thi,

elected facts which are interesting as to the
capabilities of irOn-clads in warfare The roll.
ing OF some OF this class of vessels in a heavy
sea, as compared with the rolling of some OF the
old ships, is said to have been terrible. The
Monarch, one of the new vessels, had a maxi.
mum roll of sc degrees, while the less modern
PLANTATION from the designer of this vessel will
doubtless be called for by the Britishers. The
question as to whether England is poorer or
richer In her naval resources Is a difficult one
to answer. She has the material, but il is a
serious question whether it Is not misapplied.

ALL THAT THE CHICAGO NEWS Co savcl
from The fire was a single leaf Of a quartO Bible
charred around the edges containing the first
chapter OF the Lamentations of jeremiah, which
opens with these words:
|" How doth the city sit solitary that was fun
OF people! how Is she become as a widow she
that Was great among the nations and princess
among the provinces, how T. she become tribu-
taryl She wcepeth sore In the night and her
tears are on her cheeks; among all her lovers
she hath none 10 comfort her"
Well, the last words, at least, wonderful as the
text If, are not prophetic Of Chicago. Her COM
torters are legion. They come from all lands,
include all classes of people, all conditions and
ages OF life, from the infant just born b the aged
just ready for the grave. They come from the
richest and the very poorest, and through the
middle ranks OF life. So widespread a relief
