\iuwe wo Lus ute WS 118 Bylvan rural charactes. Trees of respectable size shaded all the best 10%i- dence streets, and in the open squares, occupied in meny instances by e single houge, trees of tho original forest, trees of sixty and Eeventy feet bigh, and of two feet and more in diameter, ‘were not uncommon. In the immediate vicinity of St. James’ Charch were trees which lifted their hieads neatly as high as its bell-tower. In the square in which W. B. Ogden built in 1836-7 —the then finest house in the city, and which when burned was not surpassed in comfort by any—were elms, oaks, and cottonwood, with broad, magestic heads, and sprerding_out far above the observatory of the house. Few will have forgotten the magnificent elm near the cor- Zer of Ontarioand Stata streets,on Magee's block. . Tho . Sturgess cottonwood, standing in Huron street, - nearly opposite the residence of Mr. Buckingham, was 2 noble tree, up which the late Mr. Jonathan Sturges built a staircase and seats, giving a fine lookout upon Lake Michi- gan. ' As you atood in the front door of the late residence of I. N. Arnold, on Erie street, look- ing towards the city, although g0 near that you could hear the rumble of wheels on Lake strect, and within six or eight minutes’ walk of the old Tremont, such was the density of the foliage in smmer that ro house was visible; and only two or three chimney-tops could be seen above the surrounding verdura, Alresdy the most vigorons efforts are being mede to_ réstore this old characteristic of the North Side. Before the fire this was most emphatically a city, of trees and flow- ers and fountaine, TLast spring, before the de- arture of the frost, the workof tree-plantin, gegun. Many hundred fine elms, thirty an forty feet high, and from six to ten inches in diameter were planted on Dearborn street and elsewhere, and mads a vigorous growth. This winter the work is beiog vigorously rosecuted,” and there is much competition smong’ the planters. - Fine, large trees, with halls of earth often weifihi%; & ton, are being set out, Messrs. Biark, Douglas, Winston, 3icCagg, Nixon, Arnold, King, Lall, an&‘ indeed, nearly all tho owners and Tesidents’of the North Side, are active in this work of restoration. And now a few words abouttrecs.

Therois an_elm umile below Dixon, on the farm of Dr. Everett, which is fairly entitled to the name ef ‘The Big Elm of Rock River.” I doubt if there is 2 finer specimen on the conti- pent. Ihadheard of it, and, going down the Dank of Rock River last June, I saw many fine ‘izees, but, as Oliver Wendell Holmes says, **all af once I faw 2 great green clond swelling in the horizon, so vast, 50, symmetrical, of such ajesty and imperial supremacy,” that I at once excloimed, “Hereitis.” And there it was, an elm which for the size of its trunk, its vast spread of branches and density of foliage, I verily beliove hns no peer. I instinetively took off my hat, 2s youdo on entering some grand old cathedral. ~Here was the sublime in & tree. Vastness, height, shade, a ‘“dim, religious light,” znd venerable antiquity. Who cencount its circle of years? It is prehistoric. Itwasa “hale green tree” long befors Columbus sought |the Indies by :sailing West. Dusky maidens listened to words of love, beneath its shadowy canopy, centuries before the prow of LeSale cut the waters of Lake Michigan. Such a tree is an_object 23 msjestic and as veuerable as any old temple or cathedrel. Its £ge cuns back to the days of fable. “ But how old is it reslly 2™ T venture to en- sver * many centuries, How bigisit?" Ask Dr. Everett, of Dixon, or old Father Dizon. They say - * thirty-thres feet B g ten = feet sbove the gronnd. - Lonly know that it takes ten long, Yery long steps to pass around its base—as close tothe trunk as youcan place your foof. Ita branches cover zn area of 100 feet in diameter. Now, tell us—who can—where is there a tree of equal size this eide of the Rocky Moantsing? TENEMENTS IN BUSINESS BLOCES.

Additional Details of the Surrender of Jay Gould. . Special Despatch to The Chicago Trivune. New Yorg, Dec. 21.—Jay Gould, Mrs. Gould, and Mrs, James Fisk, Jr., were at Mr. Barlow's office, to-day, to eign the deeds transferring the Grand Opera House and other real estate to the Erie Company. MMr. Barlow ezid to a re- porter; “We have been engaged all day in ex-- amining and valuing the securities. About six million dollars heve been given, and the ‘whole amount to be surrendered is about nine million dollars, which will bring in the market, if sold, about seven million dollars. Many of them consist of shares of stock in small rail- ro8ds, - coal mines and the like, and, to make them valuable to the Erie Company it is necessary to g it possible, enough of the stock to control those roads aud other concerns. To publish, therefore, the amount of stock which the Cumgenny has ac- quired by this transaction, would defest the ob- ject sought. The Opera House property, with much other property along Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth stroefs, and along the North River; has been transferred to us, but then there is real estate in New Jersey and in three or four other States, and probably tho deeds of this cannot be perfected for seven or eight weeks to come. I presume, Mr. Gould knowing that he contemplated this ‘“restitu- tion,” and calculating that the stock would be fs\'orlnhly affected thereby, may have purchased largely,” oporter—' What agreement has been mado between the Directors and 3r. Gould ?” Mr. Barlow—* None ; except that in consi eration of this transier of securities we with- draw ali suits I.Qflinst him.” Beporter—‘ Can you give mo a copy of that sgreement 2 3 Mr. Barlow— No; but thero is nothing in it more than I have epid. He gives us the secyri- ities and we withdraw the snits.” ™ """ - [ 7o the Associated Prese.] New Yorg, Dec. 21.—The settlement of Jay Gould with the Erie Railway Company wes con- summated to-day. Among the property revert- ing to the Company are tle Grand Opera House, 1 in whick Fisk's widow was intex‘estm{ and build- inga on Duane street. SPRINGFIELD. The Coal Miners? Strike—Their Card tothe Public—Changes of Name—New Corporations—The Industrial Uni- versjity—Teaclers’ Association. Spectal Despateh to The Chicago Tribune, SprxGrIELD, Dec. 21.—There is no change in | the situation of the miners’ strike. However, the miners published ihe grievances this morn- ing at length. They say: * In the gpring and summer months the demand for coal in this vicinity is quite limited, and mosf of the miners are thrown out of employment, The propsictors | are compelled to-reduce the priee of conl, and the miners who aro £o fortunate as toget em- ployment are compelled to take such prices as ho proprictors are pleased to give, or else bs withost work and without ‘the mosps of sup- port for thejr families. In tho fall and winter months the demand for coa! becomes greater, wnd the miners, many of whom have been with- ouf work for the Aummer, find employment, ‘The prpprietors advancé their prits for coal from 8 cepts to 11 and 12 cemd Per But whils'th advance their selling rates of coal 83 o 40 per cent, they are unwilling to advance tho Tates of mining at sll. 'The miner gats 4 conts, . the proprietor 11 cents per bushel ; or, the miner gets 96 cents por ton, the proprie- for gets 275 or a ' Dot profit of $L.73 per ton, when it is well known that 50 cents per top js regarded everywhere as a large profit. ‘The mincr simply wishes to have his pay increased in & efell flproportion to the in- -An the winter over that of symmer. 1s this unfair or Gnjust?” Again, the miper is regarded not 28 a°hited mgx by the Pproprietors. but as a customet, to he'fleecag angd gkinned. -For'inatance, heis riot ‘alloived to go in the market gnd purchase of.the propriotors at .ench ‘pricéz “as may be - demanded:: To o to the propristor, 60c per gallon, S60.

The miners pay & net profit of £500, or on oil and powder, $650 per month, enough to -pey the interest oy the cost of the mine, per- haps, and euperintendents and clerk hire. Nor is thiy The cars are loaded as dictated by the proprietors, The miners get pay for ten tons” of coul. ‘Tho proprietors eell (he coal for twelve tons. Your correspondent in an interview with IMr. Starne, one of the proprietors of the principal coal shaft, learned that the miner is perfectly free to buy his supplies, whersver he desires, and that the price charged was no more than the miner would heve to pay in the market, if he could go into it to buy. The supplies are not kept with & view to traffic, but rather as a convenience to the miners. In each case, & magazino is built at the cost of the proprietor, and he carries his stock at such risks as are incident to’ explosive and combustible matter. One of the effects of the strike is to_advance coal from 12 to 15 cents. At the conl yards there is a very limited supply on_hand, and, if the demand continues equal'to that of to-day, the price will go above these figures. Wood sold at the rate of 39 per cord on the street to-dey, and at this price the demand was not supplied. Serrxorrerp, Ill., Dec. 21.—Certificates to change the names, otc., of the following'com- panies have been filed in the office of the Secro- tary of State.

New Yorxk, Dec. 21.—During the past week money has been very stringent. There have been exceptional loans at 7 por cent to first~ class bankers and brokers of gilt-cdged reputa~ tion, but the general average of borrowers on call have been forced to pay from 1-32 to 3¢ per diem, or from about 12 per cent to 137 per cent por annum. The stringency during the week has been equel to anything previously experienced this season, and is largely due to the TUnited States Treasury continuing to withdraw currency from the depositaries in this city. Ono of the large city banks has been forced to call in & considerable amount of money to meet revenue bouds and other obligations of the City of New York. Upto Friday, this bank had paidout about £1,500,000 in checks on account of revenue bonds, and the recipients of these checks were savings bunks, imsurance and trust companies, and estates; but by far the greater portion of the checks peid out has been to the savings banks in this and adjoining cities. The savings banks are restricted by law to loaning on secur- ities to United States bonds, New York State, connty, city, and town bonds, =and the bonds of other States. The savings bank mansgers for several days past Yiave been offering money quite freeley at 7 por cent to len.dini banking houses, on pledge of Government bonds, but these_securities aro scarce here. During the coming week, many corporations will begin to call in_their money preparatory to disbursing early in January on account of interest and dividends. These facts explain the natural causesat work in making money scarce, and dear. The discount market is close; scarcely any primo paper passes under 12 per cent. 14 ‘oreign oxchanges have graduslly improved. The continued scercity of commereial bills and the demand from German bankers for exchange on accounc of imports of Erie stock caused rates to advance to the highest point forsomo timo pest. Gold specalation has been weak, and the price hos declined from 11234 to 11133, on the pros- pective outflow from the Treasury, on account of the January iaterest. The ‘stringency in money, 2nd the docline in gold, havo_prodaced s declino of - 3¢ to §{ per cent’ in Government bonds, but other invest- ment securities have been firm. Tho railway and miscellaneous - speculation has presentod some curious and cxciting_features, snd, taken eltogether, the ovents of the week on the Stock Exchange aro among the most remerkable in the history of the institution, The general list Das advanced steadily. Gould's disgorging has Lifted Erie about 9 per cent. Tho baok statement is again unfavorsble. Tho foreign commerce of thoe port for the weok is as follows: Geueral merchandize im- ports, including_ dry goods, $6,912,075; produce exports, £5,702,541; specic exports, $485,392. MONEY. Money was in better eupply to-day, and call losns were easier. Early in the day 3¢ was paid, and then the rate declined to 7 gold. In the of- ternoon thero was an advance to 1-16, and a large business wes trausacted ab this Tate, al- though just previous to tho close, money grad- ually declined to 7 currency. GOLD AND EXCHANGE.

THE CHATTANOOGA POST OFFICE. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune, ‘WasmNGTox, Dec. 21.—There was considers- ble felicitation indulged in, to-dny, over the fact that Sam Bard had been accorded an unanimous confirmation by the Benate for the Chattsnooga Postmastership, but now, comes Senstor Brown- Iow, Represontatives Meynard and Crutchfield. Tho Iattor, the Davy Crockettof Tennesses, conld tell storythatis not somuch to tha credit of this appointee. According to those gentlemen, Bards newspaper enterprise at Chattancoga having proved a foilure after the campaign was over, he'was given lettors of recommendation from General ‘Wilder, Ropresentative Crutchfield, and other prominent Republicans of that locality, asking the President to give tho ex-editor an appoint- ment. The understanding was_first had among all the parties, however, that Bard should not ask for any office in the Third Congressional District of Tennesseo, the field then being considered_ thoroughly presmpted. It is al- leged that in violation of this sgreement, Bard came here and procured the - appointment to the Chattanooga Postmastership ; &athe then went to the Chairman of the Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads, Senator Ramsey, and showed him the papers of recommendsation on which the President had made the appoint- ment, whereupon Ramsey moved a sus- peneion of the rules in ecxecutive ees- sion. The nomination was _wnanimously confirmed as sforesaid, Senator Brownlow not being in his seat at the time. Brownlow, May- nard, Roderick, and Butler have entered their protest, and tho former has filed & motion to ro- consider the confirmation.

A delogation from Arkansas, accompanied by Senator Rice, called on the Attorney General, this morning, for the purposo of ascertaining what would be the policy of the Govern- ment on its uwse of troops in case tronble should arise in the inauguration of the Governor, on the 6th of January next. It will be remembered that both arties claim the olection. The Republicans, )y throwing out the votes of five counties, claim a2 majority of 3,000 on the whole State ficket, while conceding the election of the Liberal Congreesman-at-Large. = On tho other hand, the Liborals rely upon the votes of the discarded countics, the counting of which gives them o majority of & few thousand on tho ato ticket. ‘They claim that particular pains were taken to bave a_fair election in these dis- puted counties, and that the semawas conducted Birictly in accordance with the provi- sions of the law. In reply to the delegation the Attorney Genersl said that the President would sustain’ the majority, and that Federal troo{i:s would only be used to preserve eace and order, or if necessary to enforca the ecrees of tho United States Confts, It may be stated that the discussion in the Senate, on the resolution to appointa Com- mittes’ to go to Arkansss, has had & good offect, both upon Republican Senators and the Preeident and Cabinet. It seems to be the impression that this Committee will be appointed after the recess, os there is & strong. dosire here to get the real facts in the com- plications of this State. A letter was received here to-day from Montgomery, Als., which states that & move- ment is nmow on foot there, on tho part of tho Democratic branch of the rival Logislature, to elect Judge Busteed to the United States Senate to contest the cleims of Spencer, recently olected by tho Republican branch. The letter also states that 2 considera- ble number of Republicans will come over to the Democrats for this purpose. [T the Associated Press.) 5 THE LAST BOND.

Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune, Maprsox, Wis., Dec. 21.~The city sensatian, to-day, was an article in the Democral, of last night, charging all gorts of abuses and mal-ad- ministration at the Soldiers’ Orphans’ Home, The fscts, 80 far as can be learned, are that there has been discord in the institution since soon after the present Superintendent.was in- stalled ; also, & quarrel between the Trustees, originating in & difference between the daughter of one of the Trustees, who was & toschen at_the Home, and Superintendent Burton, 2nd criminations and recriminations have led to gross exaggerations of foults in the mannge. ment of Homo, That the children are ingufhi- ciently fed or clothed, as charged, is denied by those who often viéit the Home. It is trme however, that the Superintendent and his wity ‘have o 'grest deal of troublo in getting along with the teachers, and that some of the childreg have been pretty severaly punished for faults. . The Journal, to-night, calls for a thorongh investigation, which will ‘doubtless be made as 8oon a8 the Legislature convenes. Inthe mean~ time, the public are requested to suspend judg- men_‘.

Egotism, Atheism, and Obscenity. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. New Yonx, Dec. 21.—Though George Francis Train failed’to become President, he has accom- plislied the noxt dearest wish of his heart, by getting into an American Bastile. Train has been issuing hers. recently his Littlo weckly, called The Train Ligue, which he started origi- nally at Omaha. Thelast copy of it fell into the hands of Anthony Comstock, whose self- chosen mission is to stamp out obscene litera~ ture, and who has succeeded in convieting more offenders than any of his predecessors. Train was arrested at his residence, up town, last night, and went peacesbly to Mercer Street Juil, where he spent -the night. The number of his paper seized is tho fifth published in this city. It consists mainly of Train’s letters of condolence to Woodhull & Claflin, while in prison, end denunciations of the Bible. For some time pust Train has been busy upon avolume with which he threatens the public, bringing together all the coarso words and phrases of the Bible narratives admitted by the tranelators. He has deemed the present an o portunity to put his beastly work in _print. He claims to have no religious belief, and holds that there i8 nothing after death ; that man is only 2n animal, and must share the fate of the ani- mals, a very natural idea for Train, which ar- gues self-knowledge at least, This morning he was arraigned before Justice Boardman. Hoe appeared in Court fashionsbly attired, with hair wildly tambled. A crowd of about twenty of his eccentric friends were preseat, including o lank femaie carrying the ag of the Interuationals. Train pleaded guilty to, ublishin;f an obscena paper, providing, he said, his Bible quotations are obscene. The Jus- tice Wwas about to enter his plea of guilty, when Train saw his blunder and pleaded - not guilty. He was then consigned to the Tombs without beil, as he didn’t want any bail. His assistant, 2 young man named Nichols, wasalso committed in default of 3500 bail. Train bossts that this nillakes the thirteenth time he has been in a Bas- tile.

A number of gamblers and vagrants, who were arrested by the Central Station detectives some days ago, and whose cases have been con- tinuéd at the Police Courts several times, were bronght before Justice Banyon yesterdsy, for & final hearing. The witnesses were Detectives Dixon, Elliott, and Ellis, The first vagrant called claimed a trial by jury, and it was accorded him, 88 s matter of course. Mzjor Tunnison, the Constable of the Courf, was despatched to seleot & jury. . He returned with Bix rare specimens of intelligent ‘manhood. It is safo to say that none of them had the most rem.ote idea of a juryman’s duty, and it is donbt- fulif any of them had ever been in a court be- {ore excopt in the capacity of prisoners. . The trial proceeded, and at the conclusion of the arguments of counsel the “ peers” were takon ot £3 agree upon a verdict. They, returned in about fifteen minutes, and one of the number ‘handed the Justice a scrap of Ppaper upon which was written the following grammatical sentence: ‘‘The noshen of the men of the jury is the prisner go free.” This eleganfly—sgbllefl produc- tion was eigned by four jurymen, but there was 10 minority report. The Justico addressed a few brief sentences to the remarkable haif: dozen, informing them that it was the custom of well-regulated juries either to agree or dis- agree in some sort of legal fashion, He advised them to retire once more, and endeayor to ar- rive at some definite conclusion with regard to the prisoner. They retired, and in the conrse Of twenty minites reappeared again. “Well, gentlemen,” said the Justice, * what is your verdict this time. I trust the decision is TUnanimous, and ia_conformity with the evis dence.” A youthful Germsn juryman arose, and gaid to the Court: I dinks a3 how one of the churymen is & pigger tam loaver as the bris- ner!” The ““briener” under discussion, and all the other prisoners, and all the spectators, and the Conrt and all its officers, burat into a roar of laughter, which continued for some -time. Jus- tice Banyon csme to_the conclusion that it would be a waste of time to try the jury for a third time, and he sccordingly discharged it, The prisoner then submitted his clse“%o the Court, and was discharged for want of sufficient evidence to convict under the State law and city ordinance. The other prisoners followed bis example in submitting their cases to tha Justice. ‘They were &lso discharged on the same grounds, THE SCRIPTURES. Printers’ Errors in the English Bible. The errors of the foreign editions of the Datch and Scotch Bibles are almost innamersble. Ina black-letter testament of 1664, printed at either Ed.inbm‘fih or in Holland, a mistake may be met with in ‘nearly overy column. In England iteelf, & vigorous attempt to insure correctness wes made by the restriction of the right of publishing Bibles to the King's printers; and no more curious proof of the perpetuity of Eng- lish usages could be found thanin the history of this mflnog‘oli. The house of Christopher Barker, to which the patent_was_granted in 1577, went/on steadily printing it until 1709. The right was held for 60 years by Thomas Baskett, and purchased in 1769 by_Charles Eyre, whose Tepresentative, Messrs, Eyre & Spottiswoods, ‘‘continue s succession which hasbeen unbroken since 1865.” < But the monopoly failed in securing the vari- ons editions from even ludicrous and profane blunders. In one of the earlier issues, the sec- ond folio of 1611, in which the mistakes of the first were supposed to have been corrected, we find, “Then cometh Judas with them unto a place called Gethsemane.” A folio of 1717 has received its name of ‘“the Vinegar Bible,” from o misprint in the heading of the parable of the Vineyard. In two quartos of. the pre- sent century we sze told that ‘“the blast of thy terrible ones is as & sfone against the wall,” and that, * the dogs liked his blood.” We may per- haps expect a listlo irony in the compositor of 1638 (he may have been an scquaintance of Milton's), who makes the heathen vex the Israelites, not with their wiles,” but with their “wives,” or in the &x’inter of 1640, who snbstituted ‘““rulers in the wilderness” for “mules.” But the real mischief of such blunders lay in their tendemcy to perpetuation. The omission in the first folio of- two important words in the fifth chapter of 3t. John's First Epistle is still perpetusted in our _prayer-books, though it hans. been corrected in the text of our Biblee. “ Strain afa t” was prob- ably a typographical blunder in the firat issues of iin ame’s Bible for the “strain out” of the Bishops’ and Genovan versions; but it “re- mains to this day. So & misprint in the First Epistle to Timothy, which originated at Cam- bridge about 1629, went on mncorrect: edition after edition, till 1803. The fine of £3,000 inflict~ ed by the Star Chember qn Baxter for his omis- gion of the probibitory “not”in the Seventh Commendment is a well-known instance of the fruitless efforts to obtain correctness ; the fine, however, as we hear from Mr. Loftie, dwindles on investigation to £300, and this again is com- pounded for by tho pregentation of & set of Greek types to ona of the Tniversities.” Nor was freo trade more conduciys to correct- ness than monopoly. The great rebellion for & time threw open the merket, but the popular editions of Ffeld and Hill were disfigured with a greater number of blunders than had sppeared before. Their defects aro mercilessly exposed in 2 rare tractby Mr. Kelbourne, which Mr. Loftie has reprinted in the preface, Besides the _greater _errors, however, _which wo have moticed, wo find an to number of pmaller modifications going om in spellivg and punctuation, During "the first centuery whichis comprised in Afr. Loftie's list the spelling of no two editions id the same. In such a change as of * gometimes " for *“some $ime ” spelling becomes an important organ of revision, “Woe still,” says Mr. Loftie, +have such words as ‘astonied,’ ‘throughly,’ ‘pran- sings,’ ‘sope,” although tho suthority by which they are retained has no more existence in reali- ty then that by which such words as ‘shames fastness’ or ‘unpossible’ were eltered.” ‘Women as They Were. “Young ladies of the time of Edward IV.,’ says & recent writer, ‘‘ were brought up with greater strictness than their descendants under Yictoria. Mammas in those days_kept their daughters a g‘reater part of the day at hard work, exacted almost slavish deference from them, and even, as an able antiquarian states, counted upon fheir earnings.
