The Temperance Burcau Protests Against the Personal Liberty Leagues’ Proposed New Sunday Liguor Law. The Tomperance Bureau has promulgated the following PROTEST : To e Crrzzess oF Cricaco: Ts this a Christian ora pagan city? Are wo living in Christendom or 3 heathen countrv ? A stranger who should visit the Common Council of our_ city might well ask these Questions. - A few months ago crime stalked in our streets with unbluching front, and horrid murders foliowed with startling regularity each Sabbath desecration. In an- swer to a popular demand the excetive officers of the city enforced tho Sunday ordinance. With what ro- suit? No more crimes are committed upon that day, but are transferred to week days. The liquors dealers, fearful of loosing the profits of their trade on the seventh day, rallied to the contlict on cloction dsy for the purpose of carrying the city in their interests, Beaten at the polls, where the issue was dircetly mado, thoy have corrupted thoso Who, previous to the clection, pledged themselves to oppoke the repeal of the Sunday ordinsnce. Membera of Christian churches voted last night in the Common Council to violate,in a secret, hypocritical manner, tho day beld sacred by all churchies to_the memory of the Savior of mankind and representative of the holy Test of Heaven. At whoso instigation have Christians 80 far_forgot their ‘manhood 1s to stultify themselvea before God and_their fellow-men? At the flhest of liquor dealers! ith a great flourish the “Dursonal Liberty League,” an association of sa- Ioon-eepers, presentéd an ordinance, drawn by their Dired attornéy, providing for tho secrct violation of tho Sebbath, 10d by their presence in great pumbers overawed these men to refer it to a select committee of their own choosing, instead of the regular cammittes Tefore whom it should properly come, with instructions to report jt reads for passage in two’ wieks. Withont doult, when reported, it will be passed: Tho liquor Qealers rule Chicago, ’ They have blinded the eyes and corrupted the consclence of o majority of its Com- mon Council. Will the order-loving citizens of Chi- cago tamely submit? Can they desirs the repetition cf the drunken murders of August and September? Aro the lovers of order and morality in & minority? Is a majority of tho people of Chicago in favor of Tree license, freo whiskey, freo crime, and free wor- ship of Bacchue, Gumbrinus, and a host of tippling, ecosuous, licentious gods? On every day of ho week aro tho citizens of our mnoble resur- rected city resdy to placo their necks wndor iho foot of King Alconol? If not, then awake to the truo condition of things and recognize the fact that thero can be o compromise yith the Satan of etrong drink; and Jet not the cchoes of tho syes and noes of the pas~ sage of this ordinance die away until tho Legisleture, so0m to meet, 18 asked, with the voice of many peoplc, £oprohibit the sale of ‘intoxicating liquors as a bever- ago throughout the limils of the State, ’ "The people of the country, away from the citics, ara temperate, true, and patriofic, and ready to sustain Buch 3 law, Wo meed not doubt its enforcoment if properly framed.

Ellking’ Great Picturz of Hount Shasta, on the Pacific Coast. The pictures of Western scenory presented to the world by Bierstadt and Church awakened-a new interest in that most picturesque region of the United States, and directed the footsteps of adventurous artists toward the mountains of the Pacific slope in search of new subjects. Among the few who braved the toil and danger incident- 2l to a journey to the Far West, was Mr. H. A. Elkins, of this city. Fascinated by the fame of Mount Shasta, in Northern California, he made & pilgrimage thereto, and brought back with him eixty different studies, which he has combined in one grand picture, known a8 “ Shasta Butte.” It is the labor of threelong years. The founda- Yion of the work was begun previous to the fire, but the canvas was torn and scorched in an attempt to save it from the [fiames, and the artist was com- pelled to begin denovo. Fortunately, bisstudies “wero rescued unscathed, and, nothing dsunted, ho commenced again, and has continued indus- triously at his eagel ever since. The result of ‘his labor is now before the public, and a picture of such magnitude and pretension cannot fail to attract considerable attention, wherever exhib- ited. Clarence King, in his “Mounteineering in the Biorra Nevads,” devotes pages to descriptions of the scenery around this gigantic upheaval of Nature, and the following from his pen will give an idea of the scene which the painter has more ~ividly portrayed with his pencil Shasta, from Sissons, js 8 broad, triplo moun tain, {ho central summit being flanked on the west by s largeand quite porfoct crater, whose rim resches about twolyo thoussnd feet altitudo; on tho westa broad shoulder-like spur_juts from the gencral slope. Tho cone riges, from its Lase, elosen thousand feet one sweep. Dnder this high &ky and a pure quality of Tight, the whole varied foreground of green and gold sizetclies out toward tho rocky mountain base in - charming contrast, Brooks from tho emow thread thefr woy through open meadow, waving _overhead = o tent-work of willows, silvery and cool. Shasta, 18 2 whole, is the single cono of an immanse cxtinct ‘voleano. It occupies almost precisely the axial line of the Sierra Nevada, but the Tange, instead of carrsing its great wavesiike ridge through his region, breaks dows in the Delghborhood of Lassen's Butte, and for cighty mniles northward is only represented by low, confused masscs of moun- tain, cut through and through by tho_canons of the MeCloud, Pitt, and Sacramento, A broad voleanio ‘plain, inferrupfed hero znd thero by inconsiderablo Chsins, occuples tho country east -of Scott’d Mountain. From this general plain, whoso altitudo is from twenty-five ‘hundred to thirty-five hundred fect, riscs M. Shasta. ‘About its baso cluster hillocks of & hundred littlo vol- canocs, but they are utterly inconspicyong under the ghadow of the great peak, The Yolcani plain land is partly overgrown by forest,and in part covers itself with fields of grass or sage.’ Riding over it, in slmost any part, tho one great point in the landscape is the cono of Shasta, Its crest of solid white, ita vast. altitude, the pale gray or rosy Uints of its lavas, ond the dark girdle of forest which swells up over canon-carved foot-nills, give it o grandeur cqualed by hardly any American mountain, iy Tmagine the forogoing picture_transferred to the canvag by an artist who has been extremely conscientious in the translation. An elaborate description of its beauties cannot convey to the eye an adequato ides of the picture as & whols, 1t must be seen and stndied in order to be ap- reciated, The dimensions aro 72x120 inches. t is a mass of shadow and & mass of light, filled in with detail. The shadow of an impending storm casts into relief and strongly defines the outlines of the mountain to the left. The light breaking from tho_clouds strikes between that and the pummit of Shcsts, and floods with light the valloy below. In this vally are tho remains of extinct volcanoes, tho craters being executed in detail. A miniature lake formed by the snow drifts, shimmers on ouo side of the valley, ita shora being fringed with forests. To the right of the foreground aro the everlasting rocks, a stream winding in and out, and onthe other side of the valley in tho foreground are more rocks, studded with cedar and fir trees. The rocks an the foliage, the result of infinite paivs, are won- derfully faithful to nature. E In the centre of the picture rises the summit of the mountain shrouded in everlasting snow, The light and shade of the summit and the con- figuration of the clouds are ss notsble as any part of the picture. The shading is delicate, and the effect of the light on_ the whole scene ig eingularly fortunate. ~Much study produced what is almost perfection in this ime ortant element of tbe painting. 3Ir. Elkins, in addition to tho sketches takon on the spot, studied sunsets for cight months at Riverside from the top of Mr. Ford's houso. One ray of light accupied two months’ time to meke it pro- duco the’ effect desired, and tho pains-taking iutlizst has achioved & triumph that amply repays The picturo_should be seen. It promisos to rank high, and to redound to the glory of its author. The oxecution is fres _and easy almost throughout the entire work. There is hardly n traco of stiffness. The lines are generally bold and elegant and tho coloring rich. Those who have seen Mount Shaste testify to the absolute faithfulness of the drawing. This is the work of a young artist—whose homo is in Chicago, and it goes forth to tho world, tho critical and captiousworld of New York and London, to astonish those whoimagine that nothing great in art can come out of this ‘Western town. We believe it will be commend- ed, wherover it goes; by the fair-minded, and wo trust that bis success’ will not turn Mr. Elking {rom continued study, which will insure him fur- ther triumphs in his profession. The picturg will be on exhibition for one month at No. 364 Wabash avenue. and for 25 cents it can be seen. Tvery one should honor it with & visit. OTHER JATTERS. In the room adjoining that in which * Shasts Butto ¥ is hung is a portrait of Joaquin Miller, the Paet of the Sierras, by Tracy, o California artist. It is a fino painting. The lair is long and flowing arnund the poeticshoulders, and the lower portion of tho faceis hidden in brown whiskers. Tho conntenance is pleasing. Tho nose is of the Grecian type, the eyes bluo, with o cold, grayish tinge, tho forchead is lofty, though not broad. As a curiosity, it is worth looking at. Mr. Julius Gallman, who hes his studio in Tne TrUNE Building, has on his easels somo heads which indicate his power as o portrait painter. As a wielder of the crayon he is emongst the moet successful_ertists of tho day, and hifs studio is o gallery of heads which will bg easily recognized by every citizen of Chicago. SANITARY MATTERS.

For tho last six weeks, the temporature has been un- usually slow, and the great change last week ‘in- creased tho mortality among young and old, and wiil be marked, this week, by the ‘number of deaths by inflamimatory diseases. | CASES OF SMALL-POX and varioloid have been reported at Nos. 375 South Canal, 108 Weat I’on, 263 Twentioth street, Blodge street, - 48 Crosby, 135 _ Cornelia, 16 Fifth, 239 Rucker, 111 North Elizaboth, 19, 75, and 333 Hubbard, 155 North Ada, 206 Nortl) Halsted, 119 North LaSalle, 1020 South Halsted, 140 Corpalia, 18 Twomey, 139 and 93 West Kinzie, 118 West Indiana, 161 North Union, 295 Third avenue, 187 West flzgkhnwk. ‘155 First, 12 Cleaver, 51 John- sou, 201 West Washington, 40 Temple, 278 South Clinton, 93 Ontario, 85 Fourth, 15 Fay, and 118 Clybourne avenue. There is & slight decroase in the numbor of . infected houses reported, compared with the previous weck, the greatest change-occurring in the district south of Twelfth street, where there isa_decrease of eight and north 'of Twelfth on the West Side, whora thete was one of six ; on the South Side fhera wag da- crease of six, aud on iha North Side au increase of five, the number being greater than for any weel in five montks. In the last two months the disease has made but little pregress, By tho Exompt ‘enforcement of {le Togulations u{fim onrd, With ho co-operation of the citizens in being revaccinated, it is expected that thoe disease will soon be comperatively wiped out. {123 There -died in Chicago 14 lag; ok, in Bt. Louis in Boston 03, id in Duffala 33, 8% Louis lost 539 in four months, about as many as Chicago n the wholoyear. Otwingto the inténse coldthe disease may, however, increase this weel. The practice of carrying the remains of those who died of this disease into churches, to hold religions services, still continues, two instances having occurred during the week. BIRTH STATISIICS. Owing to the imperfect regisiration of births, e has decided to publish monthly the name, residenco, and number reported by each physician and midwifo, hoping thus to stimulate the report- ing of births, R HOW TO SETTLE THE QUESTION. The Mayor Proposes to Leave the Matter of the Repeal of the Sunday Liguor Ordinance to the Popular Volce to Decide. As several ablo-bodied persons nearly caught cold yesterdsy in giving vent to a Isugh at the expense of the Common Council for endeasor- ing to rescind the Sunday ordinance, &nd With it the statute, areporter betook himself to the ond source of information in the City Hall ‘building—the Meyor's office,—and interviewed Mr. Medill. The information ho received 'was abont as follows: The only way in which the repeal of the ordinance can be effected, is an application to the Legislature for authority,em- powering the Mayor and Common Council of cities, and the Boards of Townships, to submit the question to a voto of all legal and qualified voters within tho city limits, upon the question a8 follows : ¢ For the repeal of the Sunday liquor ordinance,” and ‘“Againstthe repeal of the Sunday liquor ordinance.” If a majority de- clared for the repeal, the ordinance wuufd be repesled, otherwise, it womdd not. There is a recedent for such a disposition of the question in other Stabes. . Itis.a Jaw in Massachusetts to<dsy. They are there compelled to take = a_ popular -~ vote every spring whether liquor” shall* be sold “in _ the cities and townships or not. About ane half of the cities and townships vote in the affirmative, and the remainder in the negative. Boston vates for licensing the sale of liquor; some cities prohibit its sale. Thevoteis taken in the spring, 80 a5 not to influence the elections in any way. 1t is no longer a political tbllzeat‘mn the people Yoting yes or no as they individually think _fit. This system was proposed to the New York Legislature, butno action has yet been taken upon it. The Mayor thinks such & thing should be done. If o mejority of the people demand its repea), it is contrary to eound democratic princi- ples for » minority fo enforce it, and vice zersa. MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH. New York Financial News.
