L 5 PUBLIC INTEREST IN CEICAGO. On Wednesdaylast weprinted a large edition of the srticle giving the history of Chicago from the date of the fire, Oct. 9, 1871, to ita frst sn- niversary, but the demand was not supplied, snd on Fridsy we issued amother edition, carrying ‘the entire issue to SIXTY THOUSAND. It is interesting to motice the destination of these papers. There is bardly a city in the conntry to which these pspers have not been mailed; andeveninremotevillages THE TRIBUXE, “with the wonderfal history of the New Chicago, jstobefound. A resultis, that from various places where 8 few copies of the papers hsve _Leen received, there are orders already coming for others, showing that all over theland there in 2 sivong and deep-felt interest in eversthing _that relates to Chicago. Nor is the interest confined to this country. Thousands of copies have been mailed toall parts of the ‘British Empire, to the German States, to France, o the Austrian Kingdome, toall parts of Scan- dinaviz, and even to the cities and towns of re- mote Polend. All over Continental Europe, Chicago i8 regarded” as the marvel of tie present age, to which all ‘eyes are turned, and in which s multi- tude of hopes are centered. IWherever want, poverty, or political oppression is felt, the hope of emigration to Americs is general, and among these people Chicago is Tegarded asthe point in America to which the emigrant is first to direct _bis steps. In our city we have the pioneers of this migration. There is hardly a nationality, which has not or division of nationslity, jts representative here. When the fire occurred, the event wss felt in all Enrope, for each place and workshop had its representatives in the already wonderful city of Chicego. In many villages of Europe, the work- ing classes depied themselves their ordinary food, thet they might give one or more dsy's earnings to feed their distressed counirymen +who had gone to Chicago. The interest in this city became deeper because of our calamity, and to these people their friends and countrymes, who share in our municipal prosperity, have gent back the full story of the fire, its wide- sprend destruction, the struggle to overcome the desolation, 2nd also of the grand victory which is shotn in the rebuilding of the city in mobler and grander proportions than before. The sebuilding of Chicsgo is astoniching even to ourown people, who are daily witnessesto the progress of the work; it is, of course, more wonderful to the people of all partsof the coun- try who are less familiar with the story ; but, to 4the slower and more plodding people of Europe, the history of what has been sccomplished by one yesr's labor in Chicago will be consideredas rivelling the extravsgant works of Aladdin and ‘s obedient Genil. This interest in the story of Chicago’s success= £al restoration, and her incressed trade, com- merce, and productions, indicztes, also, how strong is the financial concern in sli that per- tains £ the city. Following the fire there was -~ flow of capital to the city, mot be lomned, but to be invested Loroprietors. This money is now here Z in lots covered with warehouses and “r in stocks of goods.” There has never ?; dificnlty, since the fire, in obtaining " 4oney needed for improvements in this ad to these who have come here with their ., and to those who have sent their capital “the story of the eventfnl year has a pecu- _interest, and must prove satisfectory. It .ows that the faith which risked capital to raise + city from its ashes haa not been misplaced, and hat Chicego, instaed of being ruined by the slamity of a yesr 8go, has both increased her nsiness and put on new and more substantial evidences of her stability, weaith, and power. { __ THE MAYOR'S ORDER. ; Tbbtlfsyarhm issued an order that to-day all eaipona of the city shall be closed, and we - the whole power of the police will be ughWz0 bear for its enforcement. The lan- guage of the law is plain, and the theory on ‘which the Mayor is called upon to enforce it is, that the law ought to be either enforced or re- pealed. From this standpoint even one ‘who, ‘2s & legialator, would vote against the law, has, as an executive, no choice bnt to enforceit. o those cities in which such & 1aw has been peacefully enforced it bas been attended bya ronsiderable diminution of arrests for crimes growing out of druokenness, and on this ac- rount it has been advocated in the interests of public morsls by many who have no zeligious re- fpectfor one day above another. In Chicago, we truet that the dissatisfaction of any whose fnterests or habits maybe invaded by the en- #orcement of the law will submit quietly for the sake of the preservation of the public order and peace of the city, and that the dissatisfection, ‘whatever it may be, will make itself felt at the ballott-box alone. As arule, it may be 1aid down that the intro- duction of uncompromising religjons infiuences into politics, or into the making and administra- tion of the law, is unfavarsble to the peace and welfare of all communities. We need go mo farther back in history than to our late struggle over the Slavery question for & practicsl proof that, very often, those Who aim to promote only the interests of the Gospel of Peaceand Reform may unloose forces which more than nentralized the good results for which they Were striving. We trnst that, in the present instance, the for- ward movement of the clergymen for reform sy prove to be more folly in harmony with the genios 6f our population as & whole, and that the Mayor's ordar will be quietly and universslly obeyed. — The saleof an old honee at Newburyport, asa., recalla to the Boston Post the quesrantics of the man who once owned it. This was “Lord” Timothy Dexter, a Yankee with just wit enough 10 make money and beafool. When hisfortune +was gained, he bought this place, then a square mansion of the sober type that crowdsthe streets of the sea-port towns of New England. Dexter, now farnished with 2 self-made cost-of- arms and a self-given title, transformed the house, doubtless to its own intense estonish- * zment, into & gaily-painted castfe, with pinnacles, =nd turrete, and nymphs, goddesses, men, -women, lions, and Iambs stuck all overit. The furniture was megnificent; 8o was the library. th were bought in a lump, for Lord Dexter, of ‘Dexter Hll, only wanted 2 show for his money. He adorned himself as fantastically ms he did his house, and strutted aronnd in the style of a century =go. 3Many current xnecdotes were first told of this strange char- .tacter, . Hamss the man who sent warming-pens Tndies, and made 2 small fortano by 1 for suger-ladles. He, also, was the “at book that lives in tradition, “A & Enowing Ones,” in which all the * bearks were left out tbrough the . aftped tpgethes W @ By-lead stihe end. He was the first American to engineera 4 garner,” selecting Whalebone as the staple of the speculation, and clearing thousands of dollars. Every event of hig life, inclading the end of it, was celebrated in endless rhymes, for Tord Dexter, like the grest English brewer, kept 8 poet.” A PLEASART CONGRATULATIOR. The sympathy which was manifested in Chi- cago at the time of the great fire, expression to which was given by the geaerous contribution of money and eupplies, has not yet died away. It is evident that the rebuilding of the city and ita gemeral reconstruction have been closely watched abroad, and that there i8 a feeling of national pride in the energy snd enterprice which have been displayed here. On Thursday Iast, nearly all of the New York journals had con- grstulatory editorial notices of the results af the year, and from these we select a fow para- graphs which indicate the feeling in that city. The Tribune says: Chicago celebrated the first anniverasry of its great cally, No sackcloth, no ashes, built af- firms 5 i 3 magnificent that outshines in splendor the one which went down in the great fire of 167L This is the way Cl ‘moat any other city in the warld. Ths best of itis, 100, that, as Chicago had the sympathies of the conntry in {18 desolation, there will be o boundary to the sai- isfaction which its prasperous rebuliding Xkindles, The Herald grows poetical over if ‘The notes of thankfulness and rejoicing over the new city rising from the sshes of old_will be bailed all ‘over the world with a heartfelt sympathy for the Queen of the West and her dauntless children. The magnlfi- cent building of the new Chamber of Comimerce was thrown open with appropriate ceremonies; the people appesred in their holidsy hsbit, and the journals of the city came out in new and_enlarged dresscs also. This, indeed, is something to be gratefulfor. _Ciriliza- tion rushed with one accord to the Talief of the city in ite hour of agony; but the greatest triumph of all for n is that which shows in the rising stractures on every side how nobly, determinedly, and_uadis- Tusyed the sufferers applied the words of Loagfellow: Trust not the {ature, howe'er plastaats e doad P bty s G A aot n the Hiviug preseat— “Hpart withtn and God o'erhead. The World looks upon the marvel with won- dering eyes, and exclaims: ‘Wonderful as was the rise of Chicago, and wondcrful 28 was its fall, the rebuiidicg of3t has been more won- derfulstill. “The buildiog of CAtthage wasnateo fita subject for an epic 2 the Tepsir of Chicago. It lacks the eric-maker, though the inclination to sing ita praises is rife enough in_Chicago, But we must ail be Troud as well ¢ astonished tolook atthe greatcity hich has sprung up from the rubbish-heap of 3 year g0, and own that the Chicgo beaster is entitled to his boast, however untuneful it may be. The Nation, which i never poetical, talks in 3 plain matter-of-fact way, and says : Everybody whom business or ealled to Chicago has been struck with the enormous made toward s complete restoration, aud the resd Ioaong which those of the fArst-clssn aloe are val ‘5 $40,000,000, and they are so numerous that the aver- agea) of the gtreets £alls little if at slf short of that of the best parts of Broadway. In placeof the wooden sidewalks of old, the sidewalts in Lusiness _ blocks andin ‘most other respects regard has beea bad n the recon- struction to protection sgainst fire, The rapidity with ‘which all this s 1aken place bas, of course, not been favorzble to the best workmanship berond tHerequire- ments of the fire-laws znd the vigilant supervision of the Board of Public Works, Neither of these eon- trolled the architectural designs extercally, aad the smusing confusion of arders” and schoolsin the New Chicago has not escaped comment. But this was sim- ply inesitable, and it does not prevent the revival af the city from being, wkat we 5aid 3 year ago it prom- ised to be, more startling than jts original growtl, Tt would be the height of ingratitude for Chi- cago to pretend that ehe is insensible to such handsome words of congratulation as these. Therefore, she is once more the debtor to the East, and, as one year ago she tcok the hand of svmpathy which was extended so kindly, she pow takes the hand of congratulation 2o grace- fully offered, and is thankful that her efforts to show hereelf worthy of the aid thet wes granted are apprecisted. OUR MUSICAL SEASON. The Thomas Orchestral season has come to a close. 1tis unnecessary to say thet it hes been & musical success, for, 28 & lender, Mr. Thomas stands norivalied, and bis musical temperament jasuch that he will not abide an ignorant or careless player in his orchestra. It hss slso been a financial success, aud has called ont au- diences who were in the exact temper to receive 2nd enjoy whet Mr. Thomss had provided. In one respect it has been the most rotable sea- gon of masic Chicago has ever hed, namely, in the prominence which has been given to Richard Wagner's music. It will bano rews to state that Mr. Thomas is an ardent admirer of Wagner andhismusic. Allthe best musiciensin this coun- try are. Wagner's first conquestsin Earope have always been the orchestral conductors. Itisim- Possible for them to read his music and master it 80 thoronghly that they can impart his grand ideas to others without acknowledging his trans- cending genine. The musicians and musical connoissenrs come next. The people mustbe educated. They must first understand the poetical text, for Wagner's music is £o intimate- 1y connected with the poetry of the libretto, that the one cannot be understood withoat the other. Once having mastered the poetry, it is not difi- cult to grasp the music, for the rhythm and motives of the poetry and the music areiden- tical. In giving the pubiic this music, Mr. Thomas has done & grateful work. He has presented extracts from five of his operas. The overture from ¢ Tannhauser,” prominent themes from * Der Fliegende Hollander, including the exquisite epinning soog, the Vospiel, and much of the muosic of the firat and second 2cts of * Lohengrin,” the introduc- tion and finale to * Tristan and Isolde.” and the «Ritt der Walkueren,” from “ Der Walkueren.” «Tanphanser,” the ¢ Flying Dutchmen,” snd :Tohengrin™ belong to Wagners first ern, vwritten when all the world, except a few of his faithfol Bavariane, were assailing him with de- nunciation, Tidicule, and sarccsm. In these op- eres he yielded somewhat to the popalar clamor, and secrificed his theory in 2 slight degree, or yielded what he knew to be true to what he knew io be popnlar. There is no difficalty in comprehending these works at the first hearing. The most persistent stickler for melody must be satisfied, for both the vocal scores and the in- stromentation are replete with delicions melo- dies. But, while he yielded in the appli- cation of his theories somewhat, he never yielded a whit in the determination to eventuslly compel the world to aclnowledge that he was right. What wonld have killed ordi- nary men only hardened hir for the battle. Ridicule, sarcasm, poverty, expulsion from one conntry to another, even personal melignity, hed no effect upon this gallant musician fighting single-handed. He foughton, and one after the other he has put all his enemies under his feet, rallied faithful friends about him, and now those who are not prepared to applaud are st least ready to listen with honest purpose. *Tristen and Isolde” and “Der Walkueren” belong to thisers. They wero written when it Wes no longer necessary for him to consult any popular prejudice or whim. He wroie purely ont of himself, and, therefore, we hsve the full development of his theories in these two operss, and to develop them he has chosen the grandest and most ro- maptic episodes in German literaturo. These two operas compose & part of the Nibelungen Trilogy, the others being “Siegfried” znd “«Gotterdammerung,” which will bebroaght out 2t Beyreuth in 1674, They re based upoa tho Nibelungen Lied, and ebound in the romance of the 0ld German mythology and the revels and feasts of ihe Walhalla. The old Norse gods of land and ses, the Erlkings and the Vikings, the grimand gigeatic Germen warriors, the strolling Troubadors, 2nd the stately medieval women all pass in procession through these great operas, and love, and revel, and fight ss fiercely as they @id in life. The episodesfrom * Tristanznd Isolde™ which 3AMr. Thomas has given cover the denouement of that opera. Triatan is bearing Isolde on his vessel to the King of Cornwall, to be his bride: A msgic arink which they have taken, however, reveals their waival lsven The Qripk jasfats one, and Izolde dies of grief on the body of Tristan, and the two are united in death. It is the old etory of Romeo and Juliet over again, and it is told by Wegner with consummate power, znd with & crescendo of passion which has never been equalled in music. The Ride of the Walkneren is still more graphic in its wey; and, in the strange, weird rhythm of the music, youcanboth see and hear the furions ride of Odin's fatefal maidens through the clouds, above the roar and crash of the battle. Descriptive mesic is noth- ing new under the sun. Beethoven hes used it in the “Pastoral Symphony;” Hedyn in “The Creation;” Chopin in his Polonaises, and Rubenstein and Liszt in their Symphonic poems, but, tothe clear description, Wagner adds the power of producing the very emotions which grow out of the scenes described. His descrip- tive music is both objective sud subjective. Itis fortunate that the time isnearst hand when these works can be heard. After their produc- tionsat Bayrenth adetermined effort will bemade to give them s world-wide hearing. A Wagner Vereinhasbeen already formed in New York, and another is under way in Chicago, which will be put into operation as soon 28 the necessary forma can be received. 1t is unnecessary to enter into detail concern- ingthe remainder of the music which Thomas has given ue. It was all choice; but the Seventh Sympkony .of Beethoven and the First Symphony. of Schumann will long be remembered bygjhose who had the pleasure of hearing them. Mr. Osgood, too, should come in for & share of credit. Althongh many great- er tenors have been here, and his forte lies in chamber music, atill he has introduced songs of & higher order than we usually get in the concert-room, and has made the public better acquainted with the great song-writers of Ger- ‘many,—Schubert, Schumann and Robert Franz,— than it hes been before. Such concerts as these cannot but have a healthy effect upon music. They produce more refined and elevated taste, and establish s higker standard, by which to estimate other productions, other singers, and players. Aftersuch concerts as these, paople will have little patience with trash in music or charlataniem in musicians. THE POW ER OF FRAYER. A chorch-member suggests, in Zion's Herald, a pew test of the eficacy of prayer, which he ‘believes the Church in genersl will be willing to accept. He proposes that some one sha’l se- lect ity abandoned wretches; that their names and sketches of their characters shall be given to a number of Christian men and women; end that these Iatter, withoat the knowledge of the subjects of the experiment, skall pray for their conversion every day for a year. The proposer says: 1 would like to join in such a test as this, and should have no fears as to the result of such 2n experiwent. ‘Will those who challenge the faith of the Church ac- cept the conditions, and bide the isse, and scoept s The fact that such & scheme has been suggest- edia 3 pleasing incident in this somewhat em- bittered controversy. Both parties have been to blame. The men who indorsed the test pro- posed by Professor Tyndalls friend have too often done g0 in an arrogant, gneering msn- ner, that wes sufficient in itself to prevent the trial. Then, again, they have boasted of the ‘unwillingness of Christians to submit to such a test, arguing thst tke latter were unwilling be- cause they were afraif, and that this proved their side of the question. Of course, it really proved nothing. It would have been strange if 2 single plan, withont modification, had pleased everybody. Neither the rejection of this nor of all others wonld show fear. Thera 2re some thorough beliefs which men have, and which they would yet be loth to submit to a test, how- eversure of the resnlt. An English review illustrates this by saying that s suggestion to a husband to test his wife's honor would be bitter- 1y rezented as an insult. Yet a man’s love for his wife and his belief in her are often excelled brs Christian's love far, and belief in, his creed, down to its minutest part. Ina failure to comprehend this fact, and its consequences, Les the chisf error of the innovators. On the other hend, the tone taken in reply to the proposed innovation hss ofien been need- lesly offensive. It is denomaced, sgain and again, 25 *impious.” Thisis absurd. No hon- est search for truth can ever be impious, no matter how far from the truth the seeker may stray. The Bible maintsins also, by implication, at least, that the sun revolves aronnd the earth. No one objects now to an allegorical interprota- tion of the passsges concerning the latter state- menit, and in this way science and revelafion are reconciled. But when Galileo wrote, he com- ‘batted as deeply-fixed & belief s that of to-dny in the efficacy of prayer. It was not hia- hitting upon the trath that kept him from impiety. If he had been wrong, he would still have been free from that reproach. And so, whether right or Wrong in fact, the believers in Tyndall are right in maintaining what they believe to be the truth, 2nd should have a fair hearing from the believers in prayer. The suggestion of this new scheme ghows that some, at least, of the latter are ready to give the former such a hearing. We therefore regret the more that the new echeme seems scarcely as fair a test as the old one. The curious influence of one mind upon znother, althongh many miles spact (shown by ‘prophetic dreams, by the so-called spiritusl man- ifestations, and by mesmerism), is acknowledgzd. Every man who geins power over_his fellows is aman of strong will. There can be no greater strengthener of the will thana belief in -ome religion. 'In every age, delicate women and timid children have dared to diefor belief's se3e. Their feith made them etrong. Their will, usually worthless &s 3 force, carried them through honrs of agony withont a or a tear. The party of prayer might, then, by mere foree of will, get emch 2 meemeric mastery over the mindsof those prayed for, that the mestal change of conversion would takie place simply es & result of the now imperfectis-understood laws of mird-connection. In the case of the hospital-test, & physical change wonld haveto be produced. To besure, the knowledge of the patients that their recovery was an especisl object of prayer wonld tend to csuse amental condition favoreblisto thatre- covers. The powerfal infiuenco of mind apon body has just been resttested, once more, by the “miracnlous” restorztion to health of French pilgrims, stthe shrinesof La Saleite and Loardes. Nevertheless, the physical change +would be harder to compass than the mental one. The will-power wouldbe for wesker inregard to several hundred patients, rost of whom would be unknown, than if only ffty, allof whom were known, wers concerned. In the lattercase, the will, in the former, prayer, would apparently have the bulk of the work to do. Now that 2 disposition has been manifested on one side to go half way, itis to be hoped that the other perty. which boaste of its liberality, will notre- fuse to respond. This important suggestion ghonld not be sitowed to drop ont of sight, leav~ ing only asting benind. Let us bave some compromise test, accoptable, 23 far as possibla. o both parties to the dispute. 'Then let the test be spplied, as rigoronsly and s reverently a3 maybe. Truth cen alwaya afford to be tried. A Mormon Elder, who recently opposed the sending of Mormon childrento Methodist, Epis- copal, Presbyterian, and other Orthodox. schoola, Lias been severely rebuked by Brighem Young, who dectaves that he isvery giad to see them go. This is liberality in an unexpected quarter, not- withetanding the rather presumptnons cond- dencs it expresses in the infallibility of or- mon teachings. Whatever mey be the grounds for this removalof an old berrier, the anti- Aormon teachers caght to go in and occupy the pastures where the Mormon Ismbsare browsing, and get 28 many of them away from the. old Mormon hell-wethers as possible. No sironger or more telling blows corld be struck at Afor- monism than to influence thexising generation, and set their feet in the right paths. Timeis thrown awsy upon Brighem Young er eny ofhis apostles. They are hard and calious, and have growm old in thejr sins ; bub to neglect the op- i portrnities to gather in the young and impres- the height of folly. The Tennessee trio of eandidates for Con- gressman-at-Large,—Johneon, Maynard, and Cheatham,—are on the stump together. The moral sense of Tennessee frowns upon political oratory on the Sabbath, especially daring “*camp-meetin’ time,” so that the three were forced to rest from their lsbors, on & recent .Sonday, at Enoxville. As luck would have it, there was = camp-meeting near at hand. The chancs for cornering the Methodist vote was not. to be lost. The ex-President managed to get the savor of godliness with the minimum of trouble, by carefully missing the train. The other two got to the field in good time, and wrestled with the adversary in a deeply soul- stirring and vote-winning manner. Cheatham is s1id to have become fatigued by the novel ex~ ertion, and to have slily crawled out of the ten® ‘before the entertsininent was over, but Maynaxd persevered nobly to the bitter end. Chicago has good resson to congratulate her- £elf that the latest instance of aunthorship which has made a enccess in a foreign country msy be claimed by her, in Miss Mary Fiealy, the daugh- ter of George P. A. Healy, th portrait-painter, now in Rome, but who resided here so many years and contemplates retarning here soon. A year or more ago, Miss Healy published, in Lon-~ don, her first book, a novel called “ Lakerille,” which was received very favorably, and passed to a third edition. The book gave jzreat prom- ise, and that promise has been morse brilliantly sustained in the publication of her second work, 4 A Summer’s Romance,” a story of lifein the Littlo Island of Capri, which is just how receis- ing very handsome compliments froin such vet- eran reviewers as the Spectator ara Saturday Review. Alarge circle of her fyjemds in this «ity will be glad to hear of her success. Thepoet Cowper’s last home was st East Dare- bam, in Norfols. He lived there “with his king- man, Rov.

A great many men on ’Change are indignsnt about the terminztion of the Hug;h Maher case, and say it ought to be ventilated.
