ously about this being sort OF Sodom
for l have spent one Sabbath in tn
city and had an opportunity OF ascel
tanning II there were any Christians i
il. Ny footsteps wendell their way
1880 o'clock am. to the First Metho
dist Church, the Rev. II. w. Bolton
pastor, and there / heard a gospel ser
mon by him TO a large and intelligen
congregation from the text, "Go VI
Into All the World and Preach th,
Gospel" The pastor is q splendit
specimen Of humanity aud one o
eloquence and intellectually. At thu
same church at 2 o'clock pm, tht
venerable and profound Bishop Eos
ter of the Methodist Episcopal Church
preached TO an immense audience
His theme wss the timple story o.
Jesus. The numerous hearty smens
and the flow OF tears from hundreds in
that audience, was evidence that Jesus
was there. Col. Bob Ingersoll could
not have answered that ermon o
Bishop Foster'e. The music was grand,
rendered by a choir OF sixteen voices.
Chicago has its good citizens and its
bad. The good ones predominate
Her thousands Of church goers on
Sabbath is an evidence OF their
Christian faith. But while these good
people are doing their duty there is
another immoral element on the road
to perdition, as in any other city
whose population is numbered by its
thousands. Thousands avail them
selves OF the Sabbath TO attend the va
rious parks eleven OF them around
about the city. Lincoln Park 10 the
favorite resorf, and the most notable.
Here may be seen all ages, sizes and
of human beings enjoying this
delightful place, and may slso be seen
q great variety of animals, fowls,
q%uadrupeds and varmints Gagged. The
lake view and scenery is charming.
Those who have had the task OF lay
ing out Chicago and shaping lis
streets and everything pertaining to it
have had but me idea about it, 10
make 1t ON the most extensive scale aud
with magnificent proportions. There
is no pent up Utica about 1t. Rapid
transit through and around the city
by one OF the most perfect systems Of
street railways in America probably is
one Of the features OF Chicago. The
Gurnay cab is a high success here,
though 1t did not take in other places.
1t carries n or two passengers and
the driver rides in the rear and handles
the reirs over the top. A city where
there is at all times 10000 or 10000
trsDsienis within it's gates must have
easy and rapid movement OF vehicles
and horse cars to get the throng
around. The Douglas monument was
an object OF interest to me, who used
to believe that the Little Giant was
one OF the greatest statesmen America
ever had. Away back in the fities,
how the APPEAL used to pay homage
10 this departed patriot and statesman
and advocate his political opinions
above al Others. This monument Is
4 column rising from a quadrangular
which incloses the tomb Of the
preat patriot and is surmounted by q
OF him. II is surrounded by
ornaments and improved
grounds.
The condemned anarchists attract
but little attention. That they bave
sympathizers there is no doubt. Rel.
atiyes and friends were permitted to
visit item Saturday. Their counsel
g working very hard to get them a
lew trisl. Chicago ought to feel an
interest in these dynamiters, for bills
or expenses during the trial were
presented a few days ago amounting
o $500. The assistant attorney asks
or $500 and the hotel man for feed
ng the jury asks for S2640, while the
writers want $1,000. The
Armours and Palmers are not ready

ret.
The newspapers keep apace with
he growth OF the city. The Tribune, |
Times, News, Herald, Inter- Ocean and
are lively prints. The
papers are OF huge pro-
portions. The Times had yester.
lay twenty pages, while the
Tribune Jaw the twenty and went
our better. The Times is not what
I used TO be under the guidance of
he deceased Storey. 1t is valuable
property, though, yet. The NetcS Is
all its contemporaries in
circulation. 1t is printed morn, noon
md evening, and is chuck full Of alb.
Dreviated news, short, spicy para.

he run, the items being boiled down
% the fewest number OF lines, The
Tribune is a model get up, aud Is the
Bible OF many an one who sucks his
pabulum from its columns. 1t is a
reflection to me to stand Chi.
,ago off by knowing that out Of its
names in the directory no one
bearing my own occurs.
Mr.. Franklin d. Cossstt, known to
many Memphians, who formerly mer-
at Lagrange, Tenn, came
here Just at the close Of the war, and
by judicious investments is now pos-
Iessed OF a handsome fortune. A doc

doctor procured a bondsmau under
The following conditions: That he
should be accompanied by n guard OF
The Veteran Army Corps until his APP
pearance in cour, and that he should
pay the guard for his services in watch

Swallowed two days. When his
oondsman was asked why he de-
mauded such ri espionage OF his friend
