Mn. EpIroR:

and some another. There YOU see a
gay party going down the boulevard
and yondcr merry urchin having a

For the past two weeks IL has snow
cd almost every day, IA total full OF
somc twelve inches: but that is moth
Ing compared to the fall Of the thcr-
mometcr, which took tumble down

II IL = wonder. 10 even n resident.
to sec the r.pidi,y Of growth OF this

ty million dollars is the value Ofbuild-
ings erected. within few weeks,

Gle OF lights which il visible TO the

the second highest tower in tie United

as il he had been lifelong resident.
We have Democratic mayor for one
more term, a. tie Republican candi-
date has given up conicsting for the
seat.
Although Chicago Is called the
"wickcd city, We think. in many
respects, this is n miSno,ncr. Sir.
Mocdy has been conducting series .!
very successful meeting here and hiS
practical christianity. and earnest.
heartfelt words were the means Of
winning many converts.
Sam Jones, yonr great Southern
evangelist, Is preaching this week in
the Indiana Avenue church. We have
had two weeks Of Salyiri, WHO il per-
haps the greatest living exponent Of
Shakcspcar' plays, and - he SPEAKS
entirely in Italian, hi. success !, NIL
the more remarkable. His ron Is a
wonderful actor, and will unloubtrd-
ly take the place Of his father, Who ia
getting somewhat advanced in years.
Salyini's life Is said to have been u
very romantic one, a. lac Tough, with
Garibaldi aud has lad many thrilling
adventures. There is report, the
truth of which we cannot voucll for.
that one Of the iicatcr managers Ina,
advertised for two thousand cats. and
that al advertising card Of Il new play
is 10 be fastened about the meek Of

ma:cle, are nov the aesthetic species
OF entertainment dcliglting the citi-
zcns of Chicago. Thur.day evening
more than 2jvO mcn and boy, were
crowded in Music Hall To witness wha,
proved To be, Kind Of wrestling and
choking contest, between a muscular
farm lianh from The Wolverine state
and Ma,.ada Soracli, the renowned
Japanese athlete. One Of the dailics,
in u humorous little article next day.
says, that within u short time there
will be M arena erected in Chicago
and revival Of true Olympian games,
on scale Of Roman magniiiccncc.
which would meet with profitable on
enlargement. Many people conf
IDENTIFY predict that Til. will be the
greatest city OF our United States, and
az II can boast Of the largest grain
market in the world, the largest siocl,
marx and the greatest lumber bust
ness, il would not be at all surprising
IL the prediction should be realized.
