"Carletonp (Mr. Charles O. Cohin)1 writes in this interesting way, to the Bos- ton Herald, about thu. marvellous growth | of Chicago Sitting here iu southern Wisconsin, beholding the newly -9raveled track, the heavy steel rail on this new thoroughfare between Chicago and the twin metropolitan cities uf Minne,oia, the thought arises tlrit ,hn old styIng is no longer true, that all roada lead t0 Rome. It would be nearer thu truth to cay that they lead to Chicago It is a dull week that does not zee soma new project for a railroad leading toward that city. am toleTably we'll acquainted with Chicago,
 but its marvelous growth amazes me. The buildings now under construction are mas sive piles, ornate, elaborate, built for all Iime. We read of the hanging gardens of Babylon, but what were they in conlpari- son with the edifices now rising along the streets of this city of the hkes7 Slaves constructed for Nebnchadnezzar free men, impelled by the mighty ideas of a civilization undreamed of in the past, are building city on the shore of this inland sea which is to rank AS one of the greatest cities of the world. Within it's streets you feel the heart throbs of the entire oonti- neut. It Is as cosmopolitan as New York.
 A great pushing throng of all nationali- ties--tha worlds young blood-surges through it's streets. The crowd lis larger to-day than it was yesterday, and there will be more tomorrow than there has
 been to-day. The next census will give we'll on to a million of people. The time will come when Chicago will be one of the largest cities on the face of the world.

 in the interior rather than on the seaboard,
 for the reason that the domestic commerce
 of a nation far exceeds it's foreign trade China IS dotted over with great cities of
 which we know very little. How many of
 your readers ever heard of Soochow, with
 two million people, or Wuchang, with
 nearly as many? or score of cities con-
 taining half a million? You see the same
 process going on in this country. Chica-
 go, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Plttsburg, Ro-
 chester, Buffalo, Cleveland, Milwaukee,
 St. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth, Kansas
 City, Omaha, Denver, Atlanta, Richmond,
 Chattanooga. A century hence, the re-
 public will be sprinkled with great centers
 of trade. The Atlantic seaboGrd will have
 its chain of cihes-Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Norfolk, Charles
 ton and Savannah. New York, by it's po-
 sition, its relations with Europe on the
 one hand, and the interior on the other, bids fair to wrench the sceptre from Lon.
 don, and to become the worlds banking house. Qnite likely it may always main
 tain it's supremacy as the metropolis of the republic, aud by and by become the chief city of the world. That Chicago is to stand next in rank, seems to be certain. ty, rather than probability. To-day it is the worlds cesspool. The scum of Europe floats upon the surface of society, but , those who think that Anarchism is the snbstratum of society in Chicago are very much mistaken. On the contrary doubt if society has ever been on 90 firm a basis in that city as it is to-day.
