The language of the caveat which has been
filed before the Geneva conference on the con-
sequcntial claim for damages has excited gen.
eral comment, and is regarded in very infuen-

issue between the two governments to the point
that one or the other must promptly recede
from the position it has taken. or the treaty
must be abandoned.

THE NEW CHICAGO.

A year ago on the 9th inst, occurred
the greatest confiagration ever known
on this continent, and scarcely paral-
leled in modern histOry-the burning
of the city of Chicago, when in a few
short hours over two hundred million
dollars worth of property was licked
up by the flames, thousands of people
rendered homeless and destitute, and
the greater part of the city laid in Tu-
ins. But, notwithstanding the vitals
OF the city were, So to speak, eaten out
of her, the same wonderful spirit
which conquered the proud mart from
the marshy waste, made il TEEN with
riches and industry, and filed il with
the commerce of the world, will bv
found rs elastic in the future as it has
been aggressive in the past. The
courage of her People will prove TO be
still more superb than their calamity
was great, and her awful catastrophe
will develop new energies and active
ness which in the end will bring her
out of her ashes clothed with compile
ter triumph and mastery than she has
ever before known.
The manner in which Chicago has
recovered from her devastation has
been even more wonderful than the
devastation itself. Beginning on the
18th of April, of the present year,
which was the earliest date at which
the winter had sufficiently moderated
to permit the building of permanent
structures, aud ending with the first
of next December, excluding Sun
days, and counting each day Of eight
working hours, there will have been

building, twenty five feet front and
from four to six stories high, for each
hour of that time. Nor does this esti-
mate, which, it is stated by the papers
of that city, falls below the actual |
fact, include the many stone, brick, |
iron and wooden buildings erected |
outside of the burned district, and |
which alone equal the ordinary new
structures put up in Chicago annu |
ally.
History affords no precedent of such /
a growth, or of such energy and bra
very on the part ofa people who with
IN the brief space of year have suf-
fered the loss ofsuch a vast amount of
their property by fire. Moreover, this
recuperatiOn has been al
tended with corresponding increase
Of all branches of manufacture: ofthe
business of all the great transpOrta-
lion companies tributary to the city;
Of large augmentation of populations;
Ofa marked advance in real estate in
short, of all the elements of metro
politan greatness, magniicence and
pride. In everything that pertain to
lrt, philosophy, science, literature,
he culture, refinement and relaxation
If the mind, the progress has also been
marked and wonderful. In none OF
hese important essentials of modern
civilization has the marvellous city
)eeG thrown permanently back, but,
IN the contrary, has advanced to a
position that is long way ahead of !
which year ago it could
lave hoped to attain inside of a gene

IMMIGRATION FROM EUROPE.

every day. lhe emigration from for

wards is growing so large as to have
attracted official attention. In some
parts of Prussia whole villages have
been almost depOpulaied-Old and
young, rich aud poor betaking them
selves to this land of promise. We
now hear that as measure intended
for the repression of emigration, the
Prussian government has enjoined
school masters generally. who have
been to great extent employed as
sub-agehts, to report every offer of
sub agencies, or OF commissions to be
paid for securing emigrants, immedi-
ately to the p Jlice authorities in their
district. Much of this influx of Ger
man population is due to the efforts of
land and railroad corporations; to the
free publication of American news in
the foreign papers to the constant
correspondence kept up between Ger
mans already in AmerIca-very many
of whom transmit considerable mon
ey-and their friends and relatives in
Europe, but also to the rigors Of the
draft and the military service, which
grasps all the youth Of the land.

Why Some Always Take Cold.

If the supply of air which the hu-
man lungs need every hour TO feed
and cleanse them, is impure or i'm
pOverished by repeated use. or by
vapOrs arising from collections of de
composing matters upon every side,
in court yards, streets and alleys, the
lungs and blood must partake of this
inIpurity and of this impoveTishment.
With impure and impoverished
blood no one can long maintain his
healthfuineSs. The slightest irregu-
larity of temperature. or the slightest
deviation from the most orderly and
regular habits. will give rise to de-
rangement. There are few who have
not experienced, when not quite as
well as usual. the extreme readiness
with which slight shivering chills are
produced. To blame the weather in
stead of the state of the system for
this extreme susceptibility, is contra
ry to all the rules of sound reasoning.
But it is precisely what is commonly
done. Headaches, coughs, fevers,
pains, are almost universally attribu-
ted to taking cold, as it is termed. If
the blood were pure, such an effect
could not occur, but in an impure
state no degree OF care can prevent it.
No care will prevent the consumptive
taking cold, simply because the blood
is in such a state that the weight of a
hair, so to Speak, suffices- to derange !
the harmonious action of the vital
affinities. Such sick ones and their |
friends talk and seem TO think that IL |
the taking of colds could only be pre-
they might get well. 1t is a
great delusion. As well think of one |
sick with hydrophobia getting well /
by keeping from him every drop of |
water, as for the consumptive to re-
cover by preventing the slightest rise
and fall of heat or cold. The cause
1f each is in the body, in the blood;
1nce get rid of this, and and drink
IF water or exposure to q nipping
wind, would only give rise to feelings
lf healthIul exhilaratlon. Healthy
DeIson, or persons with strong, pure
blood, do not take colds, simp ly be-
;ause they cannot; they cannot be
blown over by every puff of wind but
he weakly or impure are at the mer-
y OF every current.-The Ten LGiOs

SY8IPATHY.-Till we have reflected
on it, we are scarcely aware how much
the sum of human happiness in the
world is indebted to this one feeling,
sympathy. We get eheerfulness and
vigor, we scarcely know how orwhen
from mere association with our fellow
men. and from the looks reflected on
us Of gladness and enjoyment. We
catch Inspiration and power to go on,
from human presence and from cheer
full looks. The workman works with
added energy from having others by.
The full family circle has a strength
and life peculiar to its own. The
substantial good and the effectual re-
lief which men extend to one is tri-
fling. 1t is not by those, but by
something far less eOstlier, that the
work is done. God has insured it by
much more simple machinery. He
has given 10 the weakest and poorest
power to contribute largely to the
common stock of gladness. The
ehild's smile and laugh are mighty
powers in this world. When be-
reavement has left you desolate, what
substantial benefit is there which
makes condolences acceptable? 1t
can bestow upon you nothing per-
manent- But q warm hand has
touched yours, and its thrill told you
that there was living response there
to your emotion. One look, one hu-
man sigh, has done more for you
than the cOstliest present could con-
vey.
