QUE COUNTRY FRIENDS.
Tho day Of Jubilee hns como, and with 1t our
Country Oousln and his wifo, rutdy and radiant,
1.-the of atop, honest Of purpose, and eroot OF
form, Thoro ia nobody whom wo MI 500 60 |
gladly, whoso froshneHs wo 10 uniformly envy
vl,ogo foroo wo respect so much, and upon whom
no 30 gonorally depend. It is lo wllo acnds us
our food, buys our goods, roads our newspapers,
oloots our Presidents. aud makoa our LAWS 30
wo glyo him hearty welcome
II anybody auppoacs that our Country Oous-
ins havo turnod out In such force aB they pro-
sontcd yesterday, md will pronont to-day, on our
atroote, moroly for tho purpose Of hoaring tho
gtar-spanglod Dannor and tho Anvil Ohorua, In
the Michigan Southern Depot, ho Is worry much
mistaken. Our country friend cnn 500 as fur
into .ailletono as tho next ono, mud ho has un-
dornsood all along that tho Jubi1oo was playing
the pnrt tho big drum plays IN tho travelling
show, that 1t haa moroly boon tho means Of an-
nounoing to tho outside world that Rebuilt Chi
cago Is now in proper trim to roooivo its friends
Ho has known all along that thcro was no pro-
tension to groat musical gymnastics, md
that, II thoro had boon suoh protonsion, ii
could not havo boon roafizel In tho briof time
set npart for preparation, Tho Jubilee, though
fully up to tho measure Of any reasonable OK
poctation, ID tho occasion Of drawing Ill audi-
onco which haB como to Heo tho most wonderful
growth Of modern tin1oa. It is little proma-
tnre, perhaps and it would havo boon better to
doatpone tho gathering I'LL tho AUTUMN ESpoai-
ton, whom another summon soason'a application
will have finished up and rounded OH tho onor-
mous work which has beon done within oightoen
months and with only ono building season. But
this was tho timo fixed for tho opening Of ono Of
tho largest railrond dopots in tho ooun-
try, md tho most elegant and apaolous
hotel In tho world, tho Grand Pacific. Tho
dedication OF tho Pacific Hotol is vol worth tho
attention that has boon drawn to it. It is
enough to repay tho visitof tho crowds that havo
gathered at half-faro ratos, and 40 our Country
Cousin looks it over, whlo Gimoro'B band is play
ing across tho street, ho may confidently assure
himself that lo is inspecting tho most gorgeous
hostolry undor tho sun. Having done this, lo
! will start out in search Of the p1aco whero tho
fro was, md find himsolf as porplexel aa tho
Irlshmau, Oh his first visit to London,
who couldn't 300 tho town for tho
houses. To properly appreciate tho. difficulty
hc has in discovering tho burnt-district, he must
romombor that tho Fl 10 covered I'LL aroa Of about
| 2,50o ncpcs of donsoly-sottlod territory. During
tho short season Of oightosn months, tho work
| he finds completed roprosonts, not only tho
building Of the houaoB which he strains liB oyo
to measure, but tho clearing away Of tho deoris'
| Of tho old city. Thls work has boon demo, not
| by new-comers, but by tho men whoao fortunes
wero swept away and whose lifo-worh was
| laid low whom the fro cano Tho marvel
OF energy which Inns produced it is
scarcely creator than tho marvel Of
physical force that has boon expended in gath-
ering together aud putting in shapo tho wood,
and brick, and mortar, and stono, an1 iron,
aud marble that mako Zip Now Chicago. Behind
both these marvols is tho great support Of our
Country Cousins who ,aro visiting ue to.dny
who demanded nn Immediate resurrection, and
promised to give 1t moro vitality than thoy in-
fused into tho old life. They havo kept their
promise, and thoy may look upon Chicago aa
mainly their own production.
It ia not impossible tl,at our country frionds
now in Chicago fondly imagine that thoy have
brought with them tho busy rush and turmoil
which thoy 500 everywhere about them in ouE
crowded strcots. This is mistake 1t iB prob
ably largo estimate to soy that thero arc $4,000
moro st1angors than usual in Chicago OF this
time, There arc always enough Of them to
koop tho hotels full. Such number, in a city Of
between 300, 900 and 100000 inhabitants, acous-
toned to crowded thoroughfaros and q rushing
community, would mako but q small impression
On tho general inspect Of the city, There may be
ono or two moro hanging on to tho back
stop Of every horse-car, little moro olbowing
on tho sidewalks, busior clorks in the dry-goods
stores aud m oxtra. effort On the part Of Chica-
90 people to keep their places in tho stroets but

tho aamo turmoil of people. attire, and noiaoa;
courtosios and discourtoses, workers and loaf.

niflcent etoros aud heterogeneous junk-shops,
marble monuments, and dirty strcots,-aud that
