Woe subjoin two of these articles, which will bo found quite amuing. THE OHIOAGO OF TiIE “BOOIETIST." Tho wrlter ouco knew a Bishop who looked Yory lilte a barbor, and & barbor wlo looked very ke a Bishop. The Bishop who_looked like n ‘barbor was o Gorman, and spoke English like an Italinn ; the barbor who looked like o Blshop “was an Ttalian, and spoko English liko o Gor- man, Tho only certain menns of dislingulshing those two important porsonages was toqu for a hngo smothyat ring aud a purple scarf on tho Bishop, ond an immonso_ Alnska dlamond and flowing red cravat on tho barber. If tho Bishop and barber had evor by chance, or with malico aforethought, axchanged jowels and neckties, it would not hava beon strangoe if I ind gono_to the Bishop to get shuved, or asked tho barber for n._boncdiction. If the rendor con imagino tho hopeless mental confurion L suffered from an_occosfonal interconreo with these two worthy and cach-in-his-own-way usoful membors of al;ciahy, lio can form some adequnto conception of THE STATE OF JIND with which the subject of Socinl Chiengo is op- proached. A suceession of barbers is encounter~ od whero ishops wero awaitod, and Disbops turn up where naught but barbers were expoct- od. Tomake confusion worge confounded, thoy Eut their jowels and colors eo fearfully and won- lorfully mixed, that it would bo necessary to sccure the sorvices of o professional Inpidary, und constontly carr; o spoctroscope, to analyze tho ronl condition of things, And if, at last, tho barbers and the Biskiops, aud their fominine pro- totypos, slould bo carofully sorted out and pinced on oxhibition, the sight would bear tha samo relations to Chloago socioty in its normal condition of promiscuity ns a row of captured buttorilics, impaiod on crooked pins snd shut up in n cabinat, would bonr to their glittoring bonnty whon fluttoring in the soft summerair. Tho ‘procoss is neccesarily crucl, 2 There is ronson to suspect that society Is prot- ty much the sameall over thoe “‘m’l({; but I should say that it is ovon more so in Chicago. Perbaps this isn't vory clear ; but thero Is con~ solation in tho fact that it wasn't futended to bo. There aro so many natural classifleations of Chicago soclety, that ono Lardly knows whero to begin in an offort to describo if. It may bo GLABHIFIED BY DIVISIONS OF THE OITY, of which thiere are threo. The Wost Sido, North Bide, and South Iwcplo might as woll live in tbrea separute citles, for all socinl purposcs, Outside of business intercourso, they greot vach othor about once a year, the South-Sider aecretly wondering how the West-Sidor can oxist on tho rivo gauche ; the West-Sidor inwardly commis- sorafing the Snuth-sidor_condemnod to livo on the rive droifc; and the Nortb-Sider looking down upon both witi mingled foolings of pity and coutompt they should forever be shut off from bench and blufls, the parks and graveyards, the gardons nnd beor-snloons of the original sots tlomont of this groat city of ours, Then, thore nro the Old Citizens, who have lived hore moro thon sovou yearss and tho Now-Comors, who haven't enjoyed the special privilege of watch- ing the city grow up. Thero are ANTE-FIBE PEOTLE AND POST-FIRE PEOTLE; those who suffered, und those who gained by the vigitation of man's' improvidenca two yonrs ago. Thore aro tho church sots, the exclusivos, the clubg, and all the woell-known ramilications of socloty lifa 03 found in other citios, with the dif- ferencs, in Chicngo, that thoy are further rami~ fied by tho oharacteristic chauges of a population fmwlng at the rate of 50,000 a year, und gathor- fug in its nccrotions from all quarters of tha globo. Thore is no roason to wonder at tho chameleon-liko nspect of Chicago socioty, then ; end it would bo o great mistako tonttempt to do- fine it, Porhaps the Lest genoral uoeinl division over mndo was that of Dyron, whoso obsorvation in his day was— Bocloty 18 now ono polished horde, Forméd of two mighty tribes, the Dores and the Ttored, In Byron's day wo imagine that the fivst tribe was the more numerous ; in Chicago, it would be hard to eay which of the two prodominatos. ARISTOCRACY, in s community of au averago age of not more than twonty yenrs, is necessarily peculiar; still, no community would be completo without it; end, as Chicayo is ahead of most other commu- nities, it rojoices in several kinds of aristooracy. Our gonuine blue-blood was Iarmbrl{ found on tho North Sido, It was fouuded in the days of Waubun, which Mre. Kinzio tells abont, when the original seitlera loft tho south side of tho craoked creek to tho Indinug and goldiers, turnod up their noses at tho swamp, now kuown s Lako stroot, and nover went out as far as Monroo stroob oxcopt in armed bands, The North Bide nrl‘nlucrncr sncceeded in mnintaining its supori- ority admirably until the great fira cumo, which drova tho household gods to tho south and west, and ruthlesely seattored the cherished associa- tions of the ‘aristocracy of location. Thore is olso an aristocracy of : OLD BETTLERS, distinet from tbo former *North Bide Set,” which abounds in reminisconces of early days, and has gatbored moss in its constancy. The wealthy old gentloman who formerly kept a dro- ver's tavern, nnd bout his customera at draw- oker, with the nid of his wifo, who promptd Eim from over Liis opponent’s shoulders, belongs to this class of Chicago aristoorats. Another wery rich and aristocratic old sottler once lodged in Fort Dearborn, at the oxpense of the Govern- ment, until the commanding oflicer drove him away. o then squatted on some ground a fow milas sonth, which did not fail to make him wealthy and corrospondingly high-tonod, A third vory aristocratio family is tho product of a grecn- grocer in a emall way, who married & servant- girl on u(qht. and who has loft broad dowains and marble mansions to his haughty decondants, Thoso are mere isolated oxanmplos of & very worthy, vory closo, and excnnfllng&y arlatocratio - eircle of old sottlors, TUL MONEYED ARISTOORACY 18 rather largo in numbor than magnificont in tho amount of wenlth it ropresents. It iy natu- ruu that tho Nouveaux Riches should be numerous, where everything is now and almost everything productive. m&ymg proporty at 100 ah ucro, and solllug it off at 3100 & front foot, has beon o Tawiliar process of Obicago entorprise ; and it is one woll caloniated to produce a Moneyed Aris- tocraoy, As o natural consequence, tho Voneor- Ing family is large, and there is an axtensive do- mand for such works of art as aro turned out b; the dozen uudor the auspices of the Nat{onol Aendun:f for tho Doyelopment of American Art, and sold to tho hlé;llent bidder at public auction. The young man of woderato meaus, who shrowd- 1y traded off o couple of oll paintings which a frlend (not & connoissonr) had givon him, for n couplo ‘of reapectable prints, ought not to hava ‘boeen surprised when he found tho original daubs banging on the walls of u fashionable houss, at o fashionablo recu‘)flfln. Toor painters and pic- turo-denlers must live ; and the Nouveauz Riches are always doing unconscious charity in this now capital of our Woslorn world. Parhaps an appropriato general titlo for Chi- tago HBooicty would bo TIY GREAT UNMIXED ; for tho renson that its constituonts have boon !urnhlud togethor by rapid immngration, and hero has nover ful hoen uny procoss of sopara- tion.

'LI'ho way of the con- solor is bord | THE OHUROL isn uupplnf-nunu to society as woll 88 to Henven, It [s alrondy very gonerally underatood, and I think I botray nonoe of the socrots of tho socinl circlo in mentioning it, that the first thing for an ambitious now-camer to do Is to sccure & pow in church, Honeo, porhnps, the Iarga do- mand for pews; and houce, also perhaps, tho Inrgo number of churchos in Chicago. At all ovents, thero is no city in the country that cau point to so many churches, and chapels, and missions of all kids, in proportion to the popu- lation, nor show the snme amount of capital in- vestod in tho causo of roligion and the servico of Soclety. No people bavo been more liberal in this direction. The Ohurch hns been mado at- tractive from overy point of view. The Buccess of Chicago Society in this direction has not been confined to any one donomiuation, but includes Jow and Gentlle, Untliolic and Protestant, ortho- dox and hotorodox, Baptist, Mothodist, Episco- palian, Congregational, Presbyterian, U’nlmrlnn, aod all. Fortunos liavo boon permanontly ine vosted in mngnificent temples. Pews alwaya command a premium, Ministors of national fome have had calls to come to Ohicago which tlm{ could not rosist; sod othors hiave bocome natjonally famous during their sojourn horo. 'Tho choira aro as atiractivo as tho biggest orgaus, tho swootost singers, and tho highost prices can. make thom ; the proachers as eloquent ns good puy, Iargo congrogations, lively approciation and pleasant surroundings can inspiro; the society 88 compnot and self-sustaining as denominational emulntion can encourage. It would be wrong to withhold the fuct that tho churches have beon THE MOST INPORTANT AGENOY in the rapid erystallization of Ohicago Society. The varions congrogations aro as strongly cemonted togethor s tho atonos that form their fifll‘gcuufl edifices. The influenco of tho churchos ns heon Eood in moro ways than ono, Thoy Dbave not been discriminating, it is trao, nor have they always escaped imposition, DBut the; have providod, a8 o rule, n good moral standard, by which, rathor than by edncation, cultivation, Dbirth, family or money, the social status of Ohi- cago is 1egulated. They have made thelr im- press upon the character of Socioty o8 & public ingtitution, Chicago 13 XOT TIIE IMMORAY, AND WICKED OITY which it Is gonerally thought tobe clsowhore, and which it would have been, by ronson of its rapid rowth nud hoterogencous population, had t not been for tho strong detorrent jullioncos of tho churches. 1t would bo out of place in the rosont article to produce tho statistics thut lemonstrato this, ‘© may only recall the gen- eral fact that there i8 no ‘city whore, notwilh- standing tho rush and turmoil of the wouk, the Sundays aro so uniformly quiet, the mghis so orderly, nud the open offonses against tho nenso of deconoy 80 fow. A Boston editor bas recently made o rovelation that must havo astonished tho rightoous of thot community, Though tho {mpnlmfiou of Chicago exceods that of Boston by 00,000 people, tho number of nrrests for dranl- ‘ouneas {n the latter clg. in 1872, was doublo tho number of arrests in Chicago for the samo vice, and during the same time; and thore wero over ouo_thousand more fiucs for disorderly conduct in Doston thamin Chicago during that yenr, There are also good reasons to hbelieve that licentiousnces is less gonoral in Chicago than in older cities in this country, of oven un smaller population. The subjeck is ono which it is neither plensant nor profitable to examino in dotail. THEBE 18 A NOTABLE REASON why Chicago Lins earned a rcputution abroad for vico that it does not deserve, viz: our homo nowepapors havebeen in tho habit of making tho most of everything which contains tho ole- ments of sonsation ; and tho nowapapors abrond find o special iutorest in, aud give particular prominenco to, ovents ihat happon iu Chicago, whicl would be passed over unnoticed in other cities. Tho result hns been an association of Chicngo, in tho minds of the elest of tho Lord elsewhore, with all the wickedness of the day. One important check on the growth and dissom- inatlon of tho vices peoulinr to largo citics, has boen the pushing, rushing character of our busi- ness. Poople in Ohiongo, as a rule, HAVEN'T A8 MUGH TIME TO BE WIORED 08 the peoplo of other citios, Another doterront influance of groat force, as alroady intimatad, 18 thie large number and clogo organization of tho church sots, Itistrue that thore have been in- staucos in which offonders againat the social codo bave sought and found rofuge in & church-pew, and strict attontion at tho parson- age soolubles, though thoy were not nltogathor contrite of hoart; but bypocrisy i not Rlwaye 80 baneful to the intorests of Socloty as it is ob- noxlous to peraoval coutemplation. Conceul- ment of vice is an ovidence of restraint; and it is botter to nffoct rospectability, even whore it does not oxist, than to flaunt vice bofore the world, and advertiso our social doformities.

I have hoard it remarked that Chi- cago Indies are homoly, 08 a clasa ; but L nover Toard o man say it in Cbieago to ono of his own sizo. 1havo also heard that tho Chicago girls aro misorable flirts ; but the romark always came from a woman whoso lllrflnidn '8 _Wore over, or from & mau who could not liold his own at that wort of thing. Of ono thing Iam cortain; ov- erybody can find FRETTY MUCH BVERY KIND OF SOCIETY in Chieago that cau bo found nuywhoro lso; and ho can becomo one of 'em, if ho knowa how to adapt himself to ciroumstances, Another thing I know: that thoro are as delightful, good- natured, jolly, and bright littlo sots of fricuds, who como togother and have o good time, a8 can be found this side of the Atlantic or Pacifle Oconn. Poople who come to Ohicago to meke somo monoy, with the intontion of golng somo- whoro olse to live aud spoud It, I have noticed, nover go. This ia why Chicago now has o pop- ulation of about 450,000 souls.
