sE- Seven months ago, Chicago was al
most obliterated from the face of the earth
by one Of the most terrible confagrations
Of modern times; one who saw it then
would hardly recognize it now. The rap
idity with which it has been rebuilt is
marvellous the unsightly ruins made by
fire are almost entirely replaced by fine
blocks of buildings, more substantial and
beautiful than those which occupied their
sites, aud the value Of property is rapidly
rising in all parts of tho city. On Wa
bash avenue and in jackson, Adams. Mon.
roe, and Jefferson streets. the price of
land has, advanced from $1,000 per front
foot to $1,000, and in some instances to
$500. The Grand Pacific Hotel is the
fiuest and largest of the new buildings,
and has 500 rooms it is rebuilding on its
old site and will cost one million dollars.
The Republican Life Insurance building,
which was badly damaged by the fire, is
rebuilding with stone, iron and brick, aud
the many public edifices in process of
erection will make Chicago much finer
and better city than it ever was before.
As may readily be believed, in al! build
ings great precautions are taken against
danger Of FIRE, Chicago being "burnt
child"

A few days afterwards the young lady
returned. She was mystrriou>y v received
by the lawyer, who scarcely gave her time
to seat herself, aud questioned her with
the most lively curiosity.
Capital, capital !"
"Pcr>cvere in your design. madamoi-

Knocked Mt the door Of the cOunsel's room
No sooner was she in than she flung
herself into chair, saying, that the walk

might get sick, and be enabled tho more

UNIFORMS FOR GIRLs.-A writer in
Scribncr's Monthly does not know why it
is not just as well for school girls to dress
in uniforms as for boys. There are many
excellent schools in England where the
girls dress in uniform throughout the cn-
tire period spent in their education. BY
dressing iD uniform the thoughts of all the
pupils are released from the consideration
Of dress; there is 20 show Of wealth, and
no confession Of poverty. Girls from
widely separated localities aud classes come
together and stand or fall by scholarship,
character, disposition and manners. The
term Of study could be heightened BY the
use of the money that would thus be
saved; and while a thousand cousidcra-
tions favor such a change, wc are unable
to think Of one that makes against it.
These reflections are suggested by tho fact
that in some of our schools the mere item
Of dress for young ladies is often over ono
thousand dollars year.

CATTLE RAISING IN TEXAS.

Cattle raising in Texas is characterized
by features peculiar to that State. The
business is principally in the hands If
comparatively few men, who conduct
their operations on a scale Of grea, ma.ni-
tude. In 1860, 10000 head Of cattle con-
stitn'cd large stock; now $4,000 and
10000 are not uncommonly owned by one
man, while in the brands Cf some individ-
uals are included as many as $4,000 or
$4,000. 1t is said that an unassuming
Irishman named Tom ,O'Conner, living in
Re'nso county, is the lurscst cattle owner
in Texas. He does not know precisely
how many he owns, but his stock is csti-
mated at about $4,000. In Texas when
calf is weaned from its dam and cannot
be identified as the property Of anybody,
it becomes the chatt.c of whoever first
brands it. This gives great advantage
to the large owners, as small stock rasers
are not able to employ the necessary labor
to keep their stock branded up, and what
they lose usually becomes incorporated in
the herds Of wealthier men, During the
war, when nearly all the able-bodicd men
in the State were either in the Confeder-
ate army or driven to take refuge in Mex
leo, the wealthy stock owners employed
Mexican vanqueros, who were exempt
from the draft, to look after their herds,
while the cattle belonging to poor men
strayed wherever they liked. The con.
sequence was that the small stocks became
to great extent absorbed in the larger
ones. Over one million cattle were shipped
or driven from Texas during the past
year, but the trade is in very depressed
condition now. Owing t" the low rates
paid in the Northern markets, great pro.
portion Of the droves started last year have
been held over and wintered in Kansas.
waiting improvement in prices. Several
million dollars vorth Of cattle. it is esti-
mated, have been stolen and driven over,
the line into Mexico by organized bands
of thieves, who have pursued their rob-
berries with impuuity. The Mexican Gov
nrnmcnt has notoriously encouraged these
raids. Our own Government has done
nothing worth mention to guard against
them, but has been energetic to prevent
the Texans from following the robbers
across tha limo. No end of petitions for
protection against these robberies have
been sent to Washington. In answer to
them Grant withdrew troops from Texas
and sent them to New Orleans to overawe
Republican Convention which he feared
was unfricndly to his personal interests.
