1.-THE TOiLING MASSES"

Lecture by Miss Emily Faithful, ut the Union
Park Congregational Church, Last Even
ing.
Miss Emily Faithful, the eminsnt English phi
lanthropist, 1ectured last evening, in the Union
Park Congregational Church, under the auspices
OF the Star Lecture Course, her subject being
ssThe Toiling Masses" The auditorium was COM
p1etely filled with large and fashionable audi
ence, who listened with the closest attention to
the lecture, frequently applauding the speaker.
After two fine organ solos, the over
lures to "William Tell" and the
"Poot and Peasant" by Louis Falk
Miss Faithful made her appearance upon the
rostrum, and opened her lecture by afluding to
matter which weighed upon every mind,-the
burning Of Boston, saying that no heart in the
audience beat more deeply for the stricken city
than her OWL.
There was time, she said, when English
women could not be designated as 'sThe Toiling
Masses" but no one familiar with the subject
would deny that they should now be so c1assed.
In 1851, the census showed that the number Of
women dependent upon their own resources, in
England, was 900; in 1861, SOC, 900, while
in 1871 still larger increase was shown. The
idea that man must take care Of woman

It is gratifying to learn that Secretary Bout
well is in no haste to add q pail Of wafer to the
barrel of sugar which constitutes tho currency
Of the United States. We are assured that he
will not do this until it becomes necessary. The
tenor of the Washington dispatches rendered
into good English is something like this: 1.-THE
Government will not deprecate tho currency
till it ought to be deprecated. 1t has NO prop
erty to throw into the gap made by the Boston
fire, but it has some Of the finest soap bubbles
in tho world. II there should be scramble tor
the property not destroyed by the Boston fire, it
will set some Of these bubbles going; and, prob
ably in choosing them, the public will forget the
fire and recover their sonses." 1t is to be re-
marked that the public and especially the Bos-
ton public, have shown an uncommon degree Of
sclt-posscsson in the presence of this calamity.
They have not lost their senses, and are in no
danger Of losing them.

Miss Emily Faithful who delivered her lecture
on 90 The Toling English Masses " at the Union
Park Congregational Church, on last evening,
and who is expected to lecture again in Chicago
on the 10th inst, is a lady who has won claim
to the public hearing through her public works.
She has been not only an earnest advocate, but
an active worker in the cause of opening new
fields for female employment. OF good family,
and favored with an excellent education, she
entered upon the gayest Of London life, but
soon deserted its superfcialities for sphere
more serious and better suited to her own inde-
pss,dence Of character. In 1860, she founded
typographical institute for women, which sue
ceeded 81 well that she Was appointed printer
and pubishe- in ordinary to the Queen. In 1863,
she commenced the pubGcat,on of the Victorla
Magazine which she still edits and controls in
the interests Of working women, advocating
their claims to more remunerative employment
She entered the lecture field some four years
since, and has attained q marked success. Her
reception in this country has e7erywbere shown
the most cordial appreciation Of her merits.

The Erening Journal sayH that '' Chief Justice
Lawrence has shown himself to be an audacious,
arbitrary, and infamous tyrant, and man whose
ideas are totally at variance with the spirit Of
our free institutions, and person in no wise fit
to be intrusted with the power of IN official Of
his present high position" We rather like
pluck in newspaper, and We arc more gratided
at its exhibition in this instance, as it is the first
time in several years that the Journal has
shown any. But we think that the epithcts
which it applies to Judge Lawrence are calculat-
ed to neutralize rather than to awaken sympa-
thy for itself. Instead of railing at the Court,
the Journal should urge the State Legislature
to amend the law Of contempts, and bring it into
conformity with the law OF the United States in
that behalf

The st. Louis Globe, in summing up the ef-
fects of the Boston fire, says: The Interrupt
ton to business in Chicago will be more serious
than year ago; the failures will be more nu-
merous. The whole country will suffer Chicago
will be ruined" This is comprehensive state
ment Of the case, which does vastly more credit
Of the Globe than toits
discernment or Judgment. We have no doubt
that these sad words are written in gorrow, and
therefore hasten to assure the Globe and its
editors, who evidently need the informa-
tion more than its readers, that Chi
cago will not be ruined On account Of the Bos-
ton fire. a city which could subscribe so large q
sum the morning after the reception Of tho news
OF the Boston fire does not stand in imminent
danger Of financial annihilation. St. Louis
would rejoice at this for with the destruction Of
Chicago, which the Globe thus confidently pre-
diets, the stable topic OF St. Louis newspaper
comment would be withdrawn; and the incon-
tive to enterprise which st. Louis merchants
have found in Chicago's SUCCESS would be taken
away, and might materially damage the prospects
Of q city that are otherwise good.

STEEET CARS BY STEAM.

The prevalence Of the horse disease caused
two of our city Cur companies to substitute
steam dummies for horses, with results that,
if not completely satisfactory at present, yet
promise an important revolution in city locomo-
attached four or five heanly-1aden cars to d
"dummy," and made the trips between Ran
dolph street and Twenty~second street in about
half an hour, as often US the two ss dummies " at
their disposal could make them. The rate Of
motion is considerably faster than that made by
horses but subject to somo drawback owing to
the frequency with which the '' dummy" gets of
the track. The North Side Company, we

A LUCKY MAN,

The Congregation OF Centenary Methodist
Church Present Dr.. Fowler with an $500
Library.
The monthly social Of the Centenary Metho-
dist Episcopal Church (Dr. Fowler's), last even
ing, WAS made the occasion OF most pleasing
ceremony. To evidence their appreciation for
DR.. Fowler, and as emblematic of their re-
gard for him as pastor and gentleman, his con-
gregation, with many outside friends, yesterday
evening presented him, through the Rev. ". G..
Dandy, Presiding Elder of the Chicago District,
with splendid library, costing $500.
Dr.. Fowler on last Sabbath announced the So
cial, as usual, and said that it WAS the last time
he would meet them all in social communion as
past or little suspecting that the social had been
long held in prospect by his loving people as an
occasion when they would DO able to testify
their affection for him.
The church parlors were filed at an early hour,
and the social went on as usual. It was evi-
dently not in the Reverend Doctors mind that
before the close Of the evening, he would be the
recipient of so costly present.
About o'clock the Rev. ". G. Dandy ascended
the rostrum, aud, removing some spreads from
q number Of tables which we're ranged around
among which we're the following: 1Iotley's
works, Robinson's works, March on the English
Language, Froude's works, Bryant's Had Of
Homer, with many other most valuable publica-
tions.
The presentation speech was very happy, and
the reply was neat, racy, and pathetic. By the
resignation Of DR.. Fowler, the City Of Chicago is
deprived OF d man whose rare ability and culture
have done it great honor. It is not often
that an educational institution is so fortunate es
to secure for its head gentleman so great,
alike as preacher and scholar, us Dr.. Fowler.
After the presentation of the library, Mrs.
Fowler was called forward and presented with
an envelope containing handsome sum OF
money. The Doctor replied, in humorous
style, for his worthy lady.
1t is seldom that the separation Of pastor and
people carries with it 30 much of good feeling
as the separation Of DR.. Fowler from the Cen
teuary Methodist Church.

The horse disease, which is happily disap-
pearing among us under the genial influence
of our Incompatible weather, vas responsible
for considerable proportion Of the losses sus-
tanned in the Boston fire. To begin with, its
prevalence there had rendered it impossible to
move the goods which had been sold. In a sin
gle instance, 100000 Of goods were burned
which had already been sold, and which would
have been sent away had not the horses been
disabled. When the fire came, the lack Of
horses formed serious obstacle in the way Of
the Fire Department, and it was also impossible
to move of valuable stocks Of goods that
seldom come singly.

The horse distemper is progressing. 1t has
reached Milwaukee on the north. and Aurora
Morris, Ottawa, and LaSalo in this State. 1t
will probably pass through the whole State
especially tho cities aud large towns where
horses arc kept in numbers. 1t has attacked the
horses belonging to the towing companies On
the Illinois l. Michigan Canal. After having
seriously interrupted business in this city for
two weeks. it is about disappearing. There was
no help for it. and our people Lad to bear tho
af1ction with such patience IA they could COM
mand. Now that it las attacked the horses in
the interior Of the State. the effects in suspend
ing business there will be felt here, perhaps for
ten days longer. An interruption to transporta-
tion in tho cities, towns, villages. and farms Of
the Northwest must be loss to the traffic of
Chicago; but, as was the case when tho afflic-
ton was upon us, there is 10 remedy other than
to endure, and wait until the malady las run its
course.

It appears that, while there las been ten
dcncy in Chicago to complain Of the exercise Of
tho rights that belong to tho higher Courts in

mete out to criminals. writer in the London

While the Chicago subscription Of S150,000
was prompt and appropriate expression OF the
sympathy and gratitude which Chicago enter
tains for Boston, it should bo remembered that
the Boston fire has furnished no parallel to that
Of Chicago in the suffering Of tho poor and
homeless. It would be high estimate to say
that 10000 had been thrown out Of en-
ploynent by the Boston fire. Thcse
must bo cared for; but there arc not
$4,000 or 75, 5,000 people thrown out of employ
ment and shelter ut tho same timo as among us.
For tho large class Of Chicago people who have
been unable to recover aud who arc still needy,
relief will be- as necessary this second winter,
and oven during the third winter, as it was i'm
mcdiatcly after the fire. It was for this reason,
We presume, that the Chicago Kelicf and Aid

rev persons can witness these trains OF passen-
gers gliding smoothly and rather rapidly through
our Streets at an evident great saving Of cost to
life, without feeling that, sooner or later, this
temporary mode of 1ocomotion will be made uni
7ersally preferable, and will be permanent. We
concede that there are mechanical and equine
glnes now in use have not weight enough to hold
the track as firmly as they need to, and the track
is not well adapted to their wheels. Moreover,
the horses who havo become educated to the
locomotive, with it's noise, and smoke,
and putting, apparently see sufficient
resemblance in the rallway-engiue to them
selves to understand it. But they do not yet
comprehend the dummy. The very effort which
has been made to conceal the source Of motion
and to consume the steam and smoke render
The invention all the more mysterious to its
equine brother, whom it superscdes. Whether
horses would not become accustomed to the
dummy in time, if they should see it as often as
the locomotive, may be doubted by some, but
the weight of veterinarian counsels is against it.
All those difficulties, however, are those of de-
tail. They can be overcome it it is once estab-
lshed that passenger cars can bo drawn through
cities moro economically, safely, swiftly,
cheaply, and conveniently by steam than by
horsepower. OF the economy Of the use Of
steam there can be no doubt. The dummy re-
quires no ca1ding down it feeds itself while on
its journey ; it involves no expense when not at
work +; 1t almost never wears out; when broken it
can bo mended; il is never sick and it can be fed
on coal, which is infinitely cheaper than hay,
outs, bran-mash, and condition powders. The
dummy takes its five or ak cars at time, ac-
cording to tie demand, and, getting them
quickly out of the way, relieves the streets,
where the drawing OF an equal num-
ber of cars by horses would
block them up. It WAS objected to the street
cars. on thei, introduction, that they would
result proved that, by conveying more passen-
gers in less space, they relieved them. So it is
now objected to the dummy system that it OBJ
structs the streets; but, in fact, whatever sys-
TEN Of transit conveys the greatest number OF
passengers most rapidly and at least expense,
affords greatest relief to all our thoroughfares.
As to constructing dummy that will hold the
track, or track that will hold the dummy, We
cannot think Of these details as very difficult
amons people who daily ride behind 1ocomo-
tives at the rate of mile in minute and half
without thought of getting off the track.
The only serious objection is the tendency
Of the dummy to scare the horses, and this, re
doubt not, will be found to disappear as the
horses get over their scare. With proper tracks
and dummies, We believe rate Of motion two
or three times as great as our present horso-
car rate would be feasible, thousands OF horses
would be saved to other and humaner uses, and
the cost Of fares would in time be diminished
one-half, first to the companies, but ultimately
to the public.
