4 THE CHICAGO DAILY 1TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, JANUARY 19, 1873. CITY VS. COUNTRY. . *A Comparison from a City Standpoint. Something for City Readers Only And Consoling to Those Who Have No _Place to Go to in the Country. There are days in our ‘lives that rouse all the vaurien in ove’s nature, and make us wish that, with a fow civilized accessories, including £ damesk towel and o cako of Lubin sosp in our pockets, we might luxuriato as vagabonds upon tho face of the earth, Lovely June oud Oc- tober days, in which simply to live and breathe, o cestatic happiness ; *and one would gladly bo tho idlest nomad that ever wandered unfettered Dby tho cares of civilized lifc, or tho laziest of Lotou:oaters drifting down the stream of Time. TThese, howaver, sra very few, sud “the cares that infest the dsy " press upon us, urging us to decisite action, and, in order to accomplish any- thing well, it is necossery to havo some perma- ncat standpoint, from which sll our ventures eball be mado, and bo which all the returns shall bo brought. This brings us at onco to the qv v~ tion which we wish to congider, a8 to where that standpoint, to which we give that good old Eng- Jish name of Homo, can be most advantageous- Iy situated. With maturer years, and a8 our children grow np around us, wo ara led to consider where they can bo bronght up, with tho most beneficial in- stuences acting upon their phyaical, moral, and futellectual status. HEALTH. < Formerly the cry was, ¢ Take your children tnto - tha country if you would hsvo thém lealthy ; Jet them hiave pure air, and plenty of it ; plain country fare ; and go to bed and get up wi(h the birds. Tho city reeks with diséase ; it {8 overcrowded, and the little onos cannot play ont of doors.” The populer fallacy that the country is moro healthy than the city is, except in the minds of those who deliberately shut their eves to plsin facts, completely exposed. Did vou ever go into tho country in sutumn months that you did not hear warning rumors of fevdr ? You, city-bred, to whom fever means gomo imported epidemic, open your cyes ond sek, “What kind#' The usual answer s, Typhoid, occasionally ~varied with Spotted; or, 83 wa should say, Ce- rebro-Spinal-Moningites. Theso, the effects of dampness, frequently assume an epidemic form, end if, in the typhoid condition, they are not us- uslly fatel, they weaken the constitution, and factas an admirrble fertilizer to nid the growth of ech other seeds of disease a8 accident or in- Leritance may have planted in the system. No place seems geographically exempt from this unhealthy influence. Prairie, sca-shore, or mountein-side appesr to suffer ayualiy from this conditionel melaria; whilo well-pated atreets of- for an almost insuperable obstacls to the dissem- ination of its malignant action. There are seasons, of course, when, sweeping over the land, Pestilence comes with her death-- doaling power, and eeemingly ber harrest is ‘mauch larger in the city than 1 country byways; Lut people sesm” to forget the immenso differ- cuce in population. Five hundred deaths per woek in & city having & population of half a mi_jon’ would bo a very large estimato, and yot it would only bo equivalent to two desths per <weels in g country-place whose inhabitants num- Dored 2,000, which, we think, i3 quite as much below the aversge as the former is beyond. With tho intelligent application of scientific dis- coverics to the prevention and cure of disesse, which finds ita sblest interpreters within the confines of city, there is no doubt that, physic- ally, peoplo ero better off there than in the country. = : GOING INTO THE COUNIRY. A mutual interchange of courtesies lefween tho residents of tewn and country is undoubted- 1y advantageous to both, for acertain amount of change isnceessary to invigorateone. Undertho Droiling sun of Jaly and August, one gladly flees from the eight of baked bricks and mortar to the view of green fields, and we were alout 10 =ay salt waters, but we think Chicagoans get ewrfeit of that in their own river, which might be lees objectionable it it could be distilled ; so veo will suggest instoad. a babbling brook, pel- Iueid stream, or picturesque iske, Still, even then, what city-brod person does not miss his home-comforts, his morning paper, warm bath, andever-roady gas, to say nothing of the tender- Ioin ateak, the fusciona coffee that knoweth not tio eromatic fiaver of the spicy fishskin, and iho appetizing fruit, the choicest specimens of which have beon chilled into delicions voolness by en_abundant supply of ico? The wonderful eanties of Nature, at & geason whep sho - show- with lavish handa her wealth of summer erduro over hill and valo, is the only attraction tiat can induce ome accusiomed 'to the con- venionces of nitj‘y:fil‘e to take up his abodo for & 1;):1::[ soason whore he must forego most of e, BAINGING U OF CUILDREX, In regard to the bringing up of children, it wifo feadily concodod that tho gume pareital vill produce the same results, wherover it 1y be exorcised. Generally a mother hss moro tinio to devoto to the care of her children in the iy tha in the country. Help of somo kind is alivays obtainable, and the rongher obligations of housework ' aro mot so often im- posod upon the houscheeper in large communitics, whero all classes gather fo find © market for their labor as well ts their produce, as in thinly-fottled districts, In- dividuel solicitudo upon the parents’ part must maturally bo tho prizcipal agent in the proper dovelopment of tho rising generstion, and this, couree, is altogether dopendont upon a con- ntions coneideration of the wmatter, The motler who has the intorest of hor children at iscatwill bo crrnest in her endeavors to procure For them tho best sucial, moral, and intellactual influonces that can bo obtained, no matter whore &hio may find it nocesesry to make her home. If, Lowover, ebo does live in the city, sho will bo far more spt to hiavo ber attention called to the yari- ons progressive attsinments in eech of thoso spheres, and alfo hiave en opportunity to soe them practically ilustrated. FISTCAL EXERCISE. Tu regard to mere physical ezerciso, the city- bred child acems to hove an advantage over the onc Drought up in the country. Even during the jutenso heats of summer, there is al- wava a ehady side of the street, whera the little ones can waik, and, when cao) cnough, trandle their Loops. of learn practically to reslize tho truth of rany propositions in natursl science, £uch as (he poxorful nitraction of gravitation und cohesion, fores, compound motion, equilib~ rium, ctc., whilo thep endanger the limbs of -odcetrisna wills bicyclo or_tricyclo. These iencs conniry Toads forbid; nor is the g-rope of mose svail, for noithier mud nor rticalarly pleasent for th children to ap. : It wintar, it the police properly aitend to their dntics, thero ara clean, dry pavements, over cu the littlo. ones can ruu to school; while ti:c continuons block of houses which belped to byt off soma of the blezing sunshine in summer egually tempers tho keon blests of the cold season, and the extremes of tomperaturo are nover o vividly realized in the city 28 out of it. Vebicular locomotion is_also much easicr, for one can hardly bo snowed in in a city, tho constznt necessitics of travel keeping tLe 6treets all opan; thersfore, to those who en- jor driving, or who make thst their usual mode of inheling tho air out-of-doors, tho_city still <cents Letter opportunitios for 80 doing than tue conatry. Many a farmer’s wife especially, in the spring of the year, is shub within doors on cczount of the impassable state of the roads, -:ile the childron havs to plow. throngh mud or £20% on ibeir way to the gistx—ict school.

Wo didnot seek the country sgain thal season. i WATER. Again, thero is the unlimited supply of water whicl i8 availablo for every cily resident, iutros: duced 85 it i2 into dwellings, untll it Lins becomo such & necessity that o honse without a bath- room is Jooked upon 25 a xelic of tho barbarons ages. Even tho poorest classes learn to realizo tlio influonce of this elemeat, and spply it freely to thoir persons, in the raral districts, unlesy thero is & stream or pond whero the boys can swim (the girls aro prohibited from such au indnlgonce), it 1s quita possible thet only twico in their lifefimo does water reach the entire sur- face of the bodics of certain individuala who live far awsy from the largo centres of civiliza- tion, This 18 not & frro-wall ablution either, but sdministered when fhey aro bom, orbefore they are buried, by people who consider it a gort of appropriate rite for these special occasions, EDUCATION: Having thus shown that tho city-bred child will probably take more regular: exerciso than the ono who lives in the conntry, and can reach school with infinitely grestor easo, let us louls 8t tho educational advantages which predominato. The best talent invariably sceka tho great con- tres, nssured of more gencrous recognition, ta well as » wider scope for ihe dovelopment of its specizlty. Honce, the best teachers ato to bo found within the limits of large citics, whils their_instructions are supplemented by freo libsaries, geological collections, musoums of natural bistory, fine-art gellerics, and many otfior scurses wheacs ere devoloped culture and refineragnt, . ‘The Kindergarten for the little ones is s happy importation from over-ses, in which thero is such a happy intermarrizge of pley snd work that the woo ones learn the first principles of acholastic knawledge almost withoat knowing i, —certainly with swils instosd of tears. Thero is fraquont change of potition, light cslisthenic exercicey porformed o concert, merry liltlo songs, 8 system of object-tosching, and, above all, a realization of the fact that constout ting on Lard bonches without backs is cor- iainly provocatiye of curvature of the spine, dis- forted forms, snd is totally at verlsuce with Nature’s plan, which urges coustsut action in avory growing muscle, Honce, # is possiblo £ ond oven tho very little onoy fo school in the city, tho Kindergarien being 2 sort of Minor- sa's playhouss, in which they gain kuowladge without detriment toheslth. As thoy advance in_years, tho grest variety of solect schoola suited to all agos offer their differing sdvan- tagos to differing tastos, while the public schools open their doors to thoso who, from prefercuce or lack of meaus, seels this avenuo Lo learning. DANCING. The dancing-achool also embraces tho best talent in the city, 2ud uncouth boys hiave loarned Low to disposs of their los and arms, tho usual numbor of which genorally scom to bo just Eo many more than théy know what to do with. Hors, also, tho little girls gain 2dded graco of 'motion; and, while it iy bost’ for them, when it s possible to do 8o, to form = class omong Ouo's person- &1 friends, and havo thom meet at some private residence, engaging the the teacher to attend them thers, let them, when it is necessary that ey should alied the publio classes, always be accompanicd by 2omo older member of the fom- ily. Especially is this desirable among people of moderate income, who must sead thair chil- dren out for their lessons, - Excellont teachers can be procured at moderate rates, and it is only requisito to mako_their gorvices availablo that the children should bo properly atteued whon they go to their lessons, The gymnasium also offers its adventages for hysical development, producing supplencss of b, grace of motion, and elogaut carriage. ALUSIC. d In respect to musical education, tho city not only offers tho best musical tajent, but thatat a rate whichs renders it available to poople of very moderate incomo. ‘The eatablishment of Con- eervataries, where papils aro tanght in claases 2t 3 minimum price, or individually st a slight advance, aud whero, instesd of a mero ‘smattes- ing, thoy gain acompleto mastery of the scionce of music, is on immeuso jmptovement upon thio old systom. Formerly, oxcept in isolated cases, the pupil, after strumming & fow exercises, was taught to play suudry popular airs in a kind of jogetrot stylo, and voila tout. o, o knowledgo of harmony aud thorough-bass 3 'ndded to the gkilled inatruction sud exhaustive practice tlat are considored requizite for the pupil wke lezrns ‘music, while sccees to a library containing tha ‘best criticisme and essays upon the subject ia made available, #nd recognized 2 a necessary neceesory to the proper acquirement of this vory | dosirble sccamplishment, & Opera and concert, in which the rarest talent gratifick the zonsen and refines tho taste, 2o 8dd their cducational advantages to the more advanced student. 4 FEE LYGEW AND THEATRE. Popular lectuzes from the most brilliant ora- {ors of tho day tend ta & production of intelfec- ‘tual superiority, aud the fact of Laving seen and heard some of the grest contgmporaneous thinkers naturally tends to a epecial intorest in the written exposition of their theoriea, and we are lod to peruse works which otlierwise we might talke littls interest in. %ku drama offers its Jessons, at timea instruct- ing, anon diverting us; whilo tho truly great getor and actress show us living tablesux of his- torical characters, or Rmusing porsonifications of different nationalities. THR PULTIT AND SUNDAY SCHOOL. The city also is tho magnet that aitracts the popular proscher, sud the broad 25 woll as deap thinker here finds each Sundsy an attontive and appreciative audicnco to_listen to lis theories £nd arguments, Tho adult certainly is not obliged to sin through ignorance, for hore all crceds find aq exponent, and he of 2n inquiring ‘mind may listen to an exposition of their differ- ont view from the ablest and most intelligent tenchors. E Tho Sunday School gathers in tho littlo onos, and makes its exercises attractive to them with pleasant musio, addresson suited to thoir unde- veloped intellect; to eay nothing of the social gatlierings, and the msmmoth Christmas trec. - THE COUNTRY. What has the country to offer us a5 a subati- tate for those pogitive advantages of city fife ? Its district-school, whero tro gethered all ages and both sexcs under therale of a singleteecher, and she frequontly & young girl. Often inacces- sible in wiuter, on account of the driftiug snow, sud only gained o summer Dy a tiresome wallk throngl dusty roads uader 8 broling sun. Tia very best advantages pot reaching those of the ordinary grammar-achool in the city. Or the oc- casfonal lecture by some long-winded individual whose nemo has never been heard outaido of Lis own_townehip, or, very raroly porbaps, some really-famous orator who makes au angels visit. The travolling show, with ila company of eix of oight people, cither Tuardering Shakspoare, or representing such scepic dramas s *'Ali Daba and the Forty Thieves,” whon tho robber-chicf, owing to the lack of individusl accessorics, i8 obliged to reqmest s band to remain hid- don in the woods. The amatour -concert where no two voices accord, aud cach one is at Jeast dotermined to bo heard. Tho abzence of & circulating Lbrary, whero one can kesp au couranl with tho Jight literature of the day with- out being obliged to buy it all. The crnde dancos, whore encrgy, instead of graco, obtnins, or the jog-trot stylo of musical educstion. Wo must confess this enumeration leads us to be thankfu)l that we at least are among the fortu- Date residents of alarge city. H MODAL INFLUENCE. In respect to moral influence, wo must slso assort our bolief that the city is moro favored then the country. While the libertine and rous, tho gambler sud debsuches, no doabt exist, slill " they bear the stamp of their dogredation so thoroughly impressed npon them that to ayoid them is €imply & natural action. Tho verions legitimate and improving sousces of smusement that aro always svailable to the resi- dont fn & city, snd of which we have already spoken, tend to leasen the influence of such charactors, and they pusaue their vile wags without touching tna sphore of the respectable portion of the community, Itis the stranger from the rural district who is im- poeed upon by them, or drawn into their shame- ful resorts. And whence does the facility with which this is accomplished too often arise? From the Munchauseniams of tho village loafar ywho, i his own phrase, hss “seen life.” Loi toring in the bar-room of tho country tavern, or lounging in front of the country store, this icdividual, sosked in rum, pours iuto the listan- ing ezra Of cager youth, or perbaps not losa attentive manhood, an exaggeratod account of the possibilities of catering to low appotites ‘which he has acquired in visiis to the couuty to or occasionally to gome larger place. Tainfing young minds with the plague-spot of curiosity, is wretched bar-room loafer lerds the visitor to the city to soek not the best society he can find, but the worst; and when, fieeced by sberpors, he is led to cry ont against the vileness of tho town. he forgots that it was Jessona learned in the country, de- gires swakened thero, that led him, in his sxiety also to see life, into_ slippery ways and objectionsble company, which ™ the city-bred youth has learned to tato stits propor waluy ‘nd, if ho desirea to retsin & rospoctable soci status, o avoid and ignors. . 5 giyo ns a continnons Congidering 8l things, : residence in & well-psvod, thorouzhly-drained, abondantly-wetered. and brilliantly-lizhted city “SIMONDS AND SON.” How a Pittsburgh Reporter Man- ufactured a Sensation.

Alise Foster, the notorious young person who eseaped from tho Springfield newspaper men (a8 #ho says), aud camo to Chicago in malo attire, hay ot last creuted s decided mensation, and placed o Chicago policeman in n vory ombarrsss- ing position. She had no fominino attire with her when she arrived in Chieago. Her valive contained only male shirts, which €aa probably carried for tho samo reason that the Vasear College young ladies smoked, poor cigars—to sustein the allasion “that thoro was s msn around.” BShe was friendless, reckless, and, to all appearances, un- trustworthy, .ond the Chief of Tolice was roluctent to send her home alone, especially in her agsumed aitire. It 80 happened {hat Dotective Simonds was about to atart for Bos- ton to spend & furlough with his relatives in thay city. Superiutondent, Washburn thought this & good opportunity to send tho reckless girl home, and consigned Lerto tho charge of the venerablo detective. ‘Thio peir started on their way, tuo girl was loft with hor rela- iives, and Simonds reachod bis Tastern friends, y unconscious of the yam that the Pitfe- burgh Qazelle had spun out of tho names on the registor of the Union Depot Hotel—* Simonds aud Son.” This was all that the reportor had to concoct his story from, and tho %ool mendncity with which he wont to work marks Lim pa the nest eandidate for the congenial task of work- ing up tice, utale joles, and insipid articles for tho Cliicago Times.

On examination; the startling fact was dieclosed that the University had been on fire, and goue quistly out without sny human aid or knowledge. A portion of - the wainacoling, over @ yard squaro, under tho point whore the stove-pipe entred the chimnoy, had caught fire, consumed, and fallgn down on to the floor; and why the floor did not ignite Providence alono canexplain, The chimney had been .60 constructed that a largo holo was left just above tho baso of the floor for o register, which tho carponter had sitnply covered with the wainscoting.
