Fifty Years In Chicago.

II came to Chicago fifty years ago to-
day, said Mr.. Philo Carpenter yesterday.
"and no one ever dreamed then that it
would ever be the Chicago Of to-day. 1t
is almost as difficult for the generation
of to-day to realize that the city they see
around them, with it's immense business
blocks, its score of railway connections,
busy, rushing life, and population OF
over 600, 900, was only fifty years ago the
little trading village Of two hundred in
habitants to which Mr.. Carpenter came
in canoe around the head of the lake.
Right in the mostly thickly populated
portion of the West Division, between
Halsted. Kenzie, Madison and Ann
streets, Mr.. Carpenter paid ten shillings
an acre for 160 acres of government land.
That block of land is to-day worth $780,
DOC, 900 at o most moderate estimate.
About the same time Mr.. Carpenter
bought piece of land near his other
purchase, which he never expected to be
of any value for city property, "but
thought it would make desirable farm
outside the CITY," If Mr.. Carpenter still
owned the modest little farm through
which Ann, May and Ada streets run, he
would be the wealthiest farmer in the
world. In those days Chicago had to
depend on the corn fields of Ohio for its
Indian bread, while now its elevators
feed the world. 1t has generally been
charged that the continental observance
of the Sabbath in Chicago was br )ught
hither by our German citizens from the
fatherland. but, according to Mr.. Car
penter, II liberal Sunday grew up with
the city. He says that there was no
Sabbath out here fifty years ago. The
French and Indians, who constituted the
majority of the popul .tion at that time,
made it high day in trading and frolic.
But the youth of infant Chicago we're
not to be permitted to grow up in ignor-
ance of more worthy employment OF
the Sabbath. In connection with cap
tain of the troops then stationed here and
tho captains family, Sunday school
was started at which twelve or fourteen
children were present. This was the
nucleus of the present Presbyterian
Sunday school system in Chicago. Tho
signs OF progress were evident then.
Officers of the army threw up their COM
missions to settle here; traders came to
drive bargains with the Indians and
stopped to establish stores; tourists came
to look on, and stayed to be absorbed in
the whirl of enterprise which in half q
century has transformed trading post
to the third manufacturing city in Amer
lea. The signs of progress are as evident
and alert to day as they we're fifty years
ago. Chicago Herald.

brackish. He took one sip at the tea,
and then set the cup down forcibly on
the table, his face expressing his disgust.
Madam glanced up at him from under
her long eyelashes, slipping from her
cup industriously, that her facial
muscles might not betray the amuse-
ment she felt.
ST knew you would think the tea ex
cellent," she said.
This was too much. His rage and dis
gust fairly boiled over.
"Tea, madam, tea" he roared. "You
call such abomlnable stuff tea, do you?
Excellent, is it? Excellent
sis it excellent" said madam. sweetly
taking him at his word and ignoring the
exclamation points utterly. Mamma
taught me to make tea when
Major Flint had stood fire Tor three
whole days, but flesh and blood could
endure it no longer. Not waiting to
hear more he bounded to his feet aud
rushed into the hall. Here he seized
his hat in both hands, iammed it down
over his eyes, and started for the street.
Then, as if forgetful of something, he
retraced ais steps, and thrusting his
head in ut the open door, he shouted:
"Can you tell me where Mrs. Burns
went when she left here?"
~ think" said madam deliberately,
eff my memory serves me rightly, l
heard her speak of stopping with her
little girl at Mrs. Marsh's till she secured
a situation"
The major departed.
81 thought the tea would finish him, I"
said Mrs. Flint, amusedly. Watching
from the window her husbands retreat
ing figure, the click of his boot heels
ringing like bell as be brought his
feet down vigorously on the pavement,
the small boys eying him askance and
fastening out of his way, wondering ii
he was racing for wager.
1t Is, perhaps. needless to say that
before evening closed Mrs. Burns was
again installed at the Flint mansion.
"It is useless" said the major, mourn
fully, that evening, in the solitude Of
the apartment: II might as we'll attempt
to move the large boulders on yonder
mountain top as to contend with that
woman, wife number twov
And he never did. For whenever his
wife applied to him in regard to the
children or the domestic arrangements,
he would answer in the meekest man
ner:
"My dear, do as you think best"
And Mrs. Flint owed her success to
the fact that she never trenched upon
her husbands real prerogatives, but
respected them as she claimed respect
for her own.
"And that is how she managed him. u

lands, assisted by his native friends. He
remained on the island for some time
of necessity, but finally trading vessel
came along, on which he took passage
for Melbourne. There he strayed about
for some time, and one day, while stroll
ing about the docks with one of his old
trusty lieutenants, Mr.. Syl. Wright.
mentioned above, he saw his va, ht anch-
ored out at some distance. As several
men could he seen on board, no effort
was made TO retake it. After n time he
again returned to America, where for
time his identity was lost. The next
heard of him he was in Leadville, during
the early days, engaged in mining. He
made some money there, and has since
been engaged in mining in differents
parts of the State, and is now in the east
negotiating for the sale of some of his
properties.
The presiding elder who went to con-
duet the dedication Of a new Methodist
church at Grand Rapids did not do it.

he said he had promised God not to ded-
icate any more due bills, mechanics liens
and mortgages.

A Girl Fight.

Glare Belle gives the following de-
scription Of bonto fight by the MUIR
muring sea: "They were q short distance
away from me on the beach, which was
at the time almost deserted, and the first
thing knew they were at it like cats.
They wore o blonde and brunette, of
about equal size, and could have passed
for ladies' anywhere if they had tried.
They suarled little and then scratched.
A lot of sand was kicked up as they
scrambled around, their fnery was dis
ordered aud the clawed at each others
faces furiously. Then they drew back,
glaring like tigresses. The blonde had
probably been reading how Sullivan
"knocked out" Wilson. Tor didn't Sui
livan do it?) Anyhow, she doubled up
her right fist and drew it back as though
about to throw it at COW or something
ten yards away. 1t was nice, plump
little fist, and protruded prettily from
while silk mitt; but everybody knows
how funnily awkward q woman is when
she draws back her arm for q throw.
Well, she clenched her teeth and flung
that missile of flesh and bone with all
her might. Idon't know what she aimed
at, nor probably did she; but what she
hit was the brunette's rather spare figure
at point about four inches below the
belt. That wasn't pugilistically fair,
was il? Yet it must be taken into ac-
count that the belt in this instance was
pretty we'll up across the breast, the
dress being Of esthetic cut. The bru-
nette said "Oool' and sat down back
ward in the sand. Then she began to
ory, and her companion apparently
coaxed her to make up. This they did,
for after few minutes they walked away
together amicably toward their hotel.

Suddenly tho merry laughter and gen.
eral happiness was blighted by howl.
Not an ordinary howl that merely startles
the listener, but long howl full OF vary
ing cadence, shrill in the middle and
loud at both ends; at intervals its
symmetry was marred by . mufiied
sound, q though the howl was clogged
in the mouth OF the bowler. Sometimes
it swelled 70 SHREK, and then it changed
10 yell Of anger, and quivered away in
moans Of pain, mingled with happy
shouts of Joy that came from other voices.
And while every one wondered and all
the parents rushsd thither and yon, look
ing for their dArlings, and calling their
dear ones by many M endearing name,
the procession came out OF the woods
down by the creek--ten or fifteen boys
yelling, shouting and dancing with
wicked glos, grimacing and mocking.

fhe Verse Gray Crossed From His
"Elegy."

Take Gray's "Elegy'" No one, not
even Mr.. Gosse himself, sdmires this
noble poem more than we dos Yet its
great fault is lack Of individual human
ity. Who is this "me" to whom, in COM
pany with "Darkness," the homeward
plodding plowman ''leaves the world ?"
The thoughts are fine, but is the thinker
amorslizing ghost among the tom bstones
or is he q fleshy philosopher sitting upon
the churchyard wall2 The poem rolls
on sonorously, and the readers imagina-
ton yearns for a stanza full OF picture
and pathetic suggestion OF individual
life--full of those bevitching qualities,
in short, which are the characteristics of
all English poetry save that Of the Au-
GUSTAV era. At last, howe, er. the poet
does strik. out . stanza Of this kind, and
Immediately IL sheds Q warmth and .
glow upon all that has gone before
vitalizes the whole. in short. Describ-
ing the tomb Of the hitherto shadowy
moralixer, Gray says:
There ssseret OFT the earliest Of the year.
By hands uusceu ere shovers OF violeis found.
The Z dorsa-t I've. 10 ouisd ana warb'e there.
And ittl' footsteps softly print the ground.
Now, at last. we eco that the moralizer
is not a spectre whose bones are marrow
less and whose blood is cold, but man,
the homcly creature that Homer and
Shakespeare loved TO paint; man with
friends to scatter violets over his grave
and little children 70 come and mourn
by it; man 30 tender, genial aud good
that the very redbreasts loved him. And
having written this beautiful stanza,
having printed II in two editions, Gray
cancelled Il, and no doubt the eiehteenth
century approved the omission. For
what are children and vi,lsts and robins

"the muss'a fame" and "the eostacy' Of
the ''living lyre," and such elegant
