CHICAGO, June ~, 1873.
THE idea of sitting by FIRE on June morn
ing! And yet we find it quite comfortable! So
much for the weather We close the doors to
keep in the warm weather and keep out, in Il
measure, the harsh changing of the BELLS which
tell us that somebody's place is on fire. The
thought is not pleasant one, and we gladly for
get it in taking little retrospect Of the past
week.
Our thought goes first to the temperance meet
ing, held in a Good Templar hail. 1t was led by
lady, Miss Hood; and then that springtly little
woman, Miss Lucia Kimball, addressed the audi
ence. A number Of reformed men made "a few
remarks" and each one referred TO the efforts Of
the women Of the Christian Temperance Union
as having brought about his reformation II is
very gratifying to those women to know that
their labors in -tllis glorious cause not lost.
Our short pleasure trip on grand old Lake
Michigan will be long remembered. We stopped
at the "Crib" about twenty minutes. Our curl
osty as to ITS internal arrangement and appear
ance was fully gratifed \ square structure of
masonry rises out OF the water, about three miles
from the shore. On the first floor, within the
heavy walls, is circular enclosure, rooted with
glass. Inside OF 1t are engines Tor forcing pure
water through the tunnels to different reservoirs
IN the city, which supply the hydrants. 1t is an
established fact that nowhere in the world 10
there better water than in Chicago.
Just here il occurs to us that there is no ex-
cuse for converting liquid so clear and pure in
TO that detestable brown frothy liquid which the
brewers call beer. Perhaps the water is too
cheap. Certain it is that with a great many here
it is not popular until it has passed through the
filthy tanks and watts Of some OF the breweries.
Some of the people here are almost as bad as the
French, who think water is poison, and never
use il as beverage, using instead their Rhine
wine and absynthe-a vile compound. We
think the man who said that the small towns were
going Ito drive all the drinking into Chicago"
knew something about the capacity Of this city.
