12 THE CHICAGO DALY TRIB ‘E: SUNDAY, JAXUARY 3, = THE LOST GITY. A Vicw from tire Old Comrg _Kiouse im 1S60. The Great Picture in the Trib- une Counting-Room. Old Clark Street--=The Old Trib- £ une Building, &c., &c. a Spirit of Prophecy ihat Might Have Been Uttered Twelve Years Ago. ‘Thore hangs on the wall of the new TRIBUNE counting-room a picture of a city loat and van- iched from the earth, and from before the face of men. Those walk among us who remembor it, and have grown but ‘ velve years older since they looked upon it < .sely as Shaw's camersa. fixed it upon this great panoramic photograph, twelve feet in longth and four feet in breadth. And yet the city has gone, never to appear agein. Don't tell us here of the great rebuild- ing or of reatoration. We are writing of the city that islost. Rebuilding can never bring it agnin, As impossible as to bring back n dead friend. Asfor the city that wedwell in, und about the streets of which wo a1l walk stringely, it is mew tous all. Have yon thought of the fact, which certainlyis a fact, that it will take us Iongor to get used to our new city than o re- build it? To-day it is like the fresh diary for 1873 you opened s few Cays since, or the new ledger with its crisp, freeh, blank pages, A his- tory it is to have, precisely as a history these books are to bear and record; but ime must miske the history. The entire heart and contre of Chicago, overy building that pertains in size and character to metropolitan growth, aro as yet without associations. No human memories nor annals attach to them. We go into stores as new tons as the shops of Paris the day after amival, and sit in new {leatres among Shicago audiences, all the surroundings as stange and novel tous as if, ten minates from ‘owthomes, we had come into an unknown city. No Bxanger in Chicago can experienco grester sirangwmess of feeling than onr own citizens on ‘our 08Ctmogt familiar streets. Clark and Lake streets 0o made their intersection the busiest and most nmiliar spot in Chicago. There aro thousands 0» gober citizens to-day who would ‘panse there am 1ook for the land-marks of the forlorn 0ld reunant of & Court Houso before they could declaniheir whereabouts. They go blundering througi Randolph street for Lake, mistake Clark forDedhorn, got muddled in their intellects inthe vicinly of Fifth Avonue and LaSalle, and, whab with tag neck-ache fromlook- ing up at the new structilg and perhaps s fall or twe for & counter imant, they come to their homes in the residenq quarter of the city with & dazed and lost sensition,—» sense of goneness. Well, something is gone that wo ‘ghall never get back. We shall (et nsed to the ‘new,be proud of the new,—~wonde: porhaps, how we were 80 prond of the old citybehre the fire,— and finally the sense of bereavemut will wear, out. The now will replace tli6 oll. It isthe order of nature. Yes, dear, quait Rip Van ‘Winkle Jeffersbn, we are *‘s0 soon fegot when Wwe aro gono." In the great ses of tho past great craft and smalllie in the solem, depths side by side, .the gunboat and tly cock- boat, and waves roll, and navig ride overhead, unknowing and unbeeding tlo lost. 8o wa look up 2t tha great picture and bek we g0 twelve years, and stand, as the camera $ood, In the topmost tower of the old Court Houe of 1860. Before us is the old first bluo.kick Sherman House, its windows all oat, and wek- ‘men on its roof tearing down the grubby litle pigeon-house of a cupola. It is to bo robut into the new Sherman Houso in white lime stone, trim and beautiful, and for so many years the pride of our city; yet the new Sher- xman House is 28 completely lost s tho old Bherman House, and that equally with the pristine City Hotel and the squatter's cabin that preceded all on the sama site. Opposite to where wo stand stretches the long, ow, red brick block, best known aa the quarters Tor 80 many years of THE CH1cAG0 TRIBUSE and he Chicago Post Office. And as we look at it cer- tain once familiar figures come back to peoplo with life the old newspaper premisee, though all of them preceded among the “ passea away,” the old TriBUNE Block. We can see again the slen- der, active form of Thomas A. Stewart, and the early sssocistes with the prosent proprietors that succeeded him, John L. Scripps, dark- eyed, with' eilver hoir and beard, and Eilver- headed cano, ond the fall and vigorous figure of Dr. Ray, earnest, with & power of expreesion with tongue and’ pen that never missed its mark, kindly when kindliness was most -beantiful, resistless when worthy ocea- Eion was offered and wrath Was righteous. Itis easy to live over again in memory the thronging nssociations of the old newspaper offico, but they will fade, 80 much has memory to do with local associations, It is for this that the sons of men pile batile monuments and rear memo- rials totheir desd. The worldis fall of name- less, forgotten graves,—namoless because men 3id not put up, or because time pulled down, the headstones. Hore is an old friond, indeed, for the formida- blo presentment of the Fat Woman swings on the canvas screen over Randolph street in front of Wood's Museum. Inthat long, low, wooden ‘building on the corner of Clark and Randolph streats, where later stood A. IL. Miller's jewelry store, wero & nest of easy-going magistrates, with Constables as thick as fleas, in attendance upon tho retail justice shops of D'Wolf, and Hoisington, and Barnum. That skeleton roof frame grew into the roof of our nmew Bryan Hall, andtherein, evon beforo the Great Sanitary Fair, Douglas 1oy in state, precisely as below us, here we now stand on thoroof of the old Court ‘House, s sorrowing nation lentusthemartyr Pres- ident for a few hours on that sad funeral march toSpringfield. Andif you turn tothenorthwes there in the picture ia shown an angle of the Great Wigwam where Abraliam Lincoln was nominated last year to an office he will assume next month, for We are standing beside- the man with & camera in a bright, clear day in February, 1860. Over yonder gleams, white and tall, among tho darker and lesser buildings that surround it, the new Post Office building, tho external walls just Gnished and the community just getting over the ague of wroth and disgust at the s.heming trick of Tke Cook, P. M. (wich wuz Postmaster) in carrying the Government building dmrn?& the lot of sly Doctor Dyer, on Nonroe strest, so euburban, 80 out of town, that, of course, small boys could nover eafely be sent for letters. And over and beyond thi on Michigan avenue, at an Buren street, Terrace Ror, the pride of the city and tho marvel of all visitors from abroad,—which, after all, nover be- came the Terrace Row it et out to bo, becauso J. Y. Scammon, kaving gotten his neighbors wall into the job of building, changed: his' mind, in violation of a pledge 60 solems that it came hear getting into the courts, showing from later in- stances how a man may go on from bed to worse who once begins to triflo with things *‘Mutaal.” Confronting us on Washington streot, the two old-time brick churches, First Presbyterian an First gépb.atiunrl cosily nestled abont the Iatter in loafy lLaSallo dtrcet the homes of well-known citizens, long since _driven from the busy vicinity of the Chamber of Commerce. And betwoen the churches the ground in the pictura is scarred by a circus ring, for there it was our little boys and er boys used to Ipugh at Dan Rice, and joy to listen to the gorgoous ringmaster’s ‘ Well, here wo are ain, M.

FEnow-CouNTRYMEN: A gentleman from Tippenry, representing tho Irish National party, is amorg us, Ho comes, accredited, from our compatiots at home, to plead the cause of our nativelnd, Thenational struggle insuguratod by the peovh of Tipperary in electing O'Donovan Rozss, ant in sceking to elect Charles Kickham, to the Engish Parlinment, involved them ina debt which hasnot yet been liquidated. The Bum requirel, to satisfy all demsads, is not of suflicient mamitude to tax heavily the Irish peo- ple in Ameria, who are called upon to subscribe their portion toward the Indemnity Fund. Hitherto Chictgo has not been last in this Irish movement. Never were our Irish citizens af pealed to for a cause more deserving of their support. The weight of theloss, if the dabt re- mains unpaid, mest fall upon an Irish gentleman, who, moved by a generous impulse, snd relying ‘upon the honor of nis countrymen, subscribed the Dulk of the election expenses out of his private fortune. Toincreaze the obligation under which Lie hos Inid the National party, this gentloman has not been allied to the majority. of the Irish Eeuple in 8 religious or traditional scnse. Like mmot, Smith O'Brier, John Mitchel, and John Martin, he hzs triumphed over a false political edncation, and stands with us on the broad plat- form of Irieh liberty for Irishmen of every creed and class.

An lnjunctx:on Issucd Restraining Taxa« tion on the Prescnt Assessment in Cook County. An Account of Cars, Roads, and Miles.

MONETARY. EATURDAY EVENING, Jan. 4. An agproximate notion of the amourt of money set afloat in the first half of January in tho chief financial centres may be arrived at by tlie facts that the January interest ou the Public Debt amounts 1o $23,619,553. This is tho total semi-nnnual interest on §904,935,212 of the debt. As nearly $400,000,000 of {his amount coasists of registered bonds on which the semi-annual intorest is duo Jenuary 1, it is Lo be presamed that at least £12,000,000 of the $23,619,553 will bo psid to American holders, and tho money will be kopt into circulation in this country. In ad- dition to this are thodividends on bank and other local stocks,%which in New York city will amount to 84,000,000, besides $5,000,000 dne on various State debta of which the interest is pay- sble in Now York. Tho total amountof divi- dends disbursed at Baston (not including any on the public debt) will bo*$4,000,000. The Janua- ry dividends on railroad stocks are estimated at $20,000,000. Including all the local stocks of tho principz cities, tho smount of dividends set afloat and paid to owners of stocks in tho United States will be_nesr $60,000,000. This amount of money et in motion and retained in this country, caunot fail to have a great effect on tho money market in the direction of making funds abundant. In tho local market, money is easier than it was & fow days ago. The total amount of divi- dends disburved on local stocks hera is probably §600,000, and haa had soma effect on the market, in the direction of case. The demand for exchangecontinues unusually large.
