OUR CHICAGO LETTER.
The Everlasting ..Firs'-Ehat the
People are Dsing-How Many Suffer
Some Manage to Make il Psy-Seme
glimpses st Real Life.

4 - : =.
Notwithstanding the generous as
sistanee rendered by the world there
is vast deal of suffering in this
city to-day. Much of it is among the
class who were formerly wealthy.
Many families on the Avenue have
rented their parIors for store rooms,
their chambers for offices, boarders
occupy the remaining rooms, and the
DELICATE MOTHERS AND YOUNG
who formerly queened it in Chica-
go,s first circles occupy cattle and
dining room. They are wearing
last winters rigs, working hard, and
giving all they can to their
poorer neighbors. The very poor
go boldly forward and claim their
share of the aRelief Fund" Others
stand timidIy back and suffer
for help.
Private donations sent here to
friends and churches reach many of
this class.
1t does ones heart good to see the
effect of a gift delicately bestowed
where it is SO much needed.
THE INDIRECT INFLUENCES
of the fire are terrible. 81 was
burned out" does not always mean
the most. A man owns a hand
some property In an adjoining town,
leaves his best furniture there, goes
to the city for the winter, lives in
rented rooms, has little furniture
burned, proves he is "burned out"
is helped generously from the re-
lief fund. The fire increases his
business, and he goes on his way
rejoicing that he has only lost few
tools, which were rather the worse
for wear any way. Hundreds of
clerks, teachers, and those employ
ed in other large establishments are
worse than poor to-day. Many of
them sick and homeless.
HARD WORKING MAN
said to a kind employer the other
day, "Sir, have never had the heart
to tell you of our sufferings until
now, for you have had enough
trouble to bear with out mine; but
1 want you TO come home with me
to-day"
He found them in small room, a
broken stove, a three quarter bed
stead, on which a family of seven
slept, or rather lay, with their feet
on chairs. and their clothes for COW
ering. The fathers wages had bare
ly fed them; the scanty fuel was
gathered by delicate children from
the street; the mother and babe,
who a month before were in COM
Portable home, were
DYING FOR FOOD AND FIRE.
Bnt why need I write more of this
sad story.
The wheat piles are blazing still,
but building is progressing rapidly.
All who wish to visit the ruins must
coma speedily. The relic business
has lost its novelty.
The New Chicago will be more
beautiful than the first and on
firmer foundation. 2. E. n.

During the late war, the city of
Boston established recruiting quar-
tiers on the com Lon. On Flag Staff
hill was tent in which parties could
enlist: and on the parade ground
was a speakers stand. from which
earnest appeals were made for per-
SONS to go up into said tent and en-
list.
Among the speakers who held
fourth from day to day, was the
Hon. (since GeneraD John L. Swift,
and it was the good fortune of your
humble servant to listen to his re-
marks. Well, the General (you know
the General always did warm up
to his subject)iwas exhorting his
hearers to go up and enlist "NOw,"
said he, sis the appointed time"
Some one in the crowd cries out,
"Why don't you go?" Another fol-
lows in the same strain, ''Yes !! that's
it, why don't you go ?"
The General turned his smiling
face, (who can forget his smile ?)and
pointing to his questioner, said:
81 shall reply, to you my friend,
in those good old words,
IF you get there before do,
just wait awhile, Pm coming too"
The result was lots of recruits
were seen vending their way up the
hill.

COUNCIL GROVE ON THE HERD LAW.


Council Grove, Feb. Sth, 1872.
The subject of Herd Law being
open for discussion it will perhaps,
not be amiss, for me to give my
views.
The herd law virtually
EXCLUDES STOCK GROWING
from the state. Men of moderate
means cannot keep cattle or horses,
with profit, if not allowed to run at
large on the commons. No man
can afford to keep q herdsman,
with 8 less number of stock than
$50 head.
Men of small means will be COM
PEELED to abandon the most profitable
part of their business.
1t is said that citizens, may join
their several stocks inone herd, and
employ herdsman jointly, or that
herdmen will take stock for 80 cents
per head per month. Take them at
the CORRAL in the morning, and de-
liver them in the evening. Thus it
will cost $3.50 per head for seven
months; add $500 per head for
wintering and so cents per head for
salt, and you have $500 per head
per annum. e
With the herd law you must keep
your stock confined, summer and
winter, making the actual cost more
than the animal will bring when
matured.
WE INVITE EMIGRATION
to Kansas, as one of the great stock
growing states, and pass laws, max
ing it exclusively grain growing
state.
1t is well known that our up lands
are much better for small grain,
than for corn or potatoes.
1 consider straw worth S3.00 per
acre when 1 have stock to consume
it, equal to one-fourth of the crop.
lido not consider small grain a
profitable crop, unless, ] have stock
to consume the straw.
think that we have to
CHOOSE WHICH WERE BEST:
To food the country with men OF
little or no experience, to cultivate
our high lands without fence, and
without stock, to starve out within
two or three years, leaving their i'm
provements as lasting disgrace, to
the men who pass the herd law, and
those who advise them to try the ex-
pertinent; or, to take the more slow
and sure way of fencing small fields
and keeping large herds of horses
and cattle, and thereby enable them
with patience and perseverance, to
make valuable improvements and
comfortable, happy homes.
