Tpis important suburb, lying immediately north of Humboldt Park, is justly attracting con- siderable attention. It is only about 4 miles from the Court House, and has 2 bigh and pless- ant location. The Chicago & Pacific trains furnish frequont access to the city, and as Humboldt Sta- tion is only a few minutes in time distant, it is a beautiful and very desirable location for business men.

From an article in the Waukegan Gazelle we Tearn that the Compauy whopuichased the lands of the Lake Forest University have sold their Lotel aud several lots adjoining the hotel prop- erty to the Truetees of that institution, who proposs to open it for a coliego at po distant day.

The National Sunday-School As- sembly at Chautauqua Lake. A Beautifal Camp-Ground --- Filtesn Thousand People Expected. Correspondenee of The Chicago Tridune, CIAUTAUQUA LAXS, N. Y., Aug, 6, 1874, In spite of = few gencrations of civilization, the spirit of our savage ancostors is strong with- in us, and wo take readily to waya that are wild. Tents, and booths, and wildernesses, have an in- herited charm for us,—a charm in which lies heal- ing. For, if we may believe the doctors, nearly ailtbe ills which civilized flesh ie heir to are owing to the artificial conditons with which wo surround ourselves, and their cars wonld natu- rally be found in a relapso into barbarism. The troublo is to induce people to tske the simon- pure article. We like our medicines sugar—osted, and drag with us on our pilgrimages the burdens without which we have never learned to oxist. Every year, bold exporimenters open new routes into fresh, untamed regions; but no sooner do they tell of their delights than ariticial life crowds into these wilderness-retreats, spoiling them for all purposes of frec, indoleut health-seeking. It in comforting to reflect npon the vastuess of the country, aud remember that there are yet miles enough of nnclaimed forest, and coast, and ‘mountaip, £o give us all fres rangs for a genera- tionor two. We need not go to Colorado either, or lis down in our tents in harrowing uncertainty a1 to our scalps. Someof tho frevnest and love- liest haunts lie within easy reach of our homes, and within the jurisdiction of police-courts. Baratoga and Switzerland exhausted, the New Yorkers sighed for new worlds, and discovered CHAUTAUQUA. Only a dropif you measare it by the great lakes, yot porfoct as & gem in its green setting of mountains, it lies 70D feet above the level of the sea,—clear, glittering water, fed by living springs. Twenty-two miles, from end to end, you may ride on the little pleasure-bonts; or, it you are & good oarsman, may paddle your own capoe, fishing by the way, hunting in the woods, and camping on the fine, gravelly shore. The tourists have been here in small force for several years. Mayville, at the mortbern, and Jamestown, st the southiern, extremity of the lake, have several hotels of considerable pretensions; but there is abundant opportunity in the vicinity for the freest camp-life. One of tho vdry fiuest open- ings on the lake is Fair Point, 3 miles from Mlayville ; and, campiay under ity glorious trees about a year ag0, the good genius of the Sun- day-school, in tho' form of some of its wisest workore, was suddenly inspired with s golden thouglic. “\Why should not we busy people, who feel our work too eacred ever to be laid down, even for vacations, come together here and take counsel, getting new strength by the exchaugo of thought sud expertence, and new wisdom by united study ? Let us bave, at the same time, plenty of rest and recreation, plenty of health- ful, out-door life; and so make two weeks of genune refreshment and groywth.” Tho idea bhas been gradually carried out. Enough bhas been done to make the ground available for tha lezitimate purposcs of tuo As- sembly, withont robbing it of its nataral charms. ZEvery dotail of business has been carefully man- sged snd the enthusiasm of tho whole country enlisted to make a splendid ruccess of this NATIONAL SUNDAY-SCHOOL ASSEMDLY. The powmt itsclf is sbsolutely perfect as s camp-ground. A denso growth of magnificent timber crowds to tho very water's edge, from which there i8 3 gradual slope upward for long distance. A sufficient area has been cleared of undetgrowth, and from the boat-landing a broad drive winds up to the centre of the encamp- ment. Somo 200 pretty cottages, and nearly as many tents, are scattored among the trees; sad rustic foaces, moss-covered Stumps, ana masses ‘of luxnriant ferns, give a charm to the tiny yards. Hero aud thers are life-sizo pieces of statuary; and everywhere the most ingenious rustic seats, manufsctured from old logs and sections of trees. At vour left, a “ Park of Palestine” gives you the Holy-Laud in miviature. It is all there,— mountaine, rivers. seas; Jerusalom snd the billy country round sbout; ot n burlesque, as somo of us were inclined to_suticipate, but a perfcct and_belpfal representation,—the work of W. W. Wytho, of Mendville, Ta., who, by the way, manages the department of Recreation, in con- nection with which, Frank Beard, the artist, is togive two caricature clialk lectures. Every night the finest photographic views of Igypt, Synn, Greece, &c., are to be exhibited by the stereopticon and calcium-light. In the Musenm, books, maps, pictares, and curiosities of all kinds. are on exhibition, and attract a coustant crowd. The speakers’ stand is » model of besuty ; snd circling in front of it are ranged seats foran audience aa Inrge 28 any human voice can reach, —even » Metbodist minister's with years of re- vival practice. Uncle Sam bas a branch of his Post-Oilice here, under legitimate supervision ; and a telegraph office accommodstes peoplo whose messaxes require swifter carrions than steamboats or stesm-cars. Croquot, swiugs, poats, bathing-houses, are alt available ; and ex- cellent dining-halla and_restaurants minister to the bungr at rates which make it extravagant for Chicagoans to etay at home. AS POR THE PEOPLE HERE, every scction of the country is repre- gonted by its best thinkers and work- ers. It would be too much to expect that the genus bore should bo entirely excluded from an sssembly which bids fair to resch 15,000 1n point of numbers; Lut he will Dave emall opportunity to inflict himeelf upon others, sinco s carcful programme for eve hour's work was prepared beforehand, and eacl speaker chosen with Teference to his adaptation to his specific topic. Sach men a8 Bishop Simpson, Dr. E. 0. Haven, C. H. Fowler, A. L. Cbapin, Joseph Alden, Daniel Curry, H. W. Warren, and a dozea other D.D.’s, arc sufficient assursnce that learniog and eloquence will not bo lacking; while among lay-workers I might write names by the score of men and women whose successful work has enti- tled them to & higher honorary degree than any “University can bestow. ‘Some of the most celebrated Sunday-echools of the country are represented by their Saperin- tendents; among them B. F. Jacobs. of sour own city; Sevmour Doxter, from Thomas K. Deecher's church, at Elmira; Lewis Miller, from Akron, O.; and 2any others, The singers are here in force,—Philip Phillips, Chaplain McCabe, Dr. Eben' Tourjee, W. B. Westlake, and many others; and one of the pleasantest features of the Assembly ia the fino music constantly interspersed with other exer- ciscs. Institute ana mormal excrcises of all kinas vary the etated addresscs, and there can bo Do que-tion of tho real gain which must result to the Sunday-rchool cause. The absence of for- mality, and the free, familiar intercourse, are all in your favor. Truths MAKY A DEEPER INPRESSION IN THE WOODS. Having left behind the pioce of lsod and the voke of oxan, on account of which you have been saying, **I pray thee have me excused.” they look quite coutemptiblein the distance, and you aro ready to look fairly at something else. Dress a man in broadcloth, and put bim in a cusbioned snd carpeted powt for which he pays bard cash, and he may respond datifally when you catl bim a miserablo snner; but he feels in I bheart tbat a miserable sinner may be a very importsut member of commanity, and bas a vague idea that he must bo as respect- able in the oyes of the Lord s Lo is in those of his peighbors. But take him in tho woods, with a shabby coat on, and a bard plank for a eeat, and fire your plain truths at him, and be is apt to linch. He misses his armor of custom and decorum, He doesn't feel respectable, and hs is very easily convinced that he is not. But, while I write, tho familiar perfume of coffee and fried potatoes begins to float on tha breeze, and, whatever else people do_at Chatau- qus, they are always hungry, and putio & prompt appearanre at meals. E.H.M. Breach~of-Promisc Suit for $40,000. From the Dunille (IUL.) Times. S Bome months siuy & suit was commenced in the Edzar County Circait Conrt by Jennie Maun against David S. Blackburn, in which Mias Mann < that Mr. Biackburn promised to marry ber, and afterward broke that promise, for which sbe Wants him to psy ber the sum of £40,000. Mr. Blackburn evidently thought that the courts and juries of Edgar County, out of sympathy for Jeouie, might fail to do bim justice, and so moved & change of venue to this county. The case will come up for trial ia the first week of the ‘August termof the Vermilion Circnit Court, aod is already attractiog considerable attention. Miss Mana has coafided her causa to no Jess able counsel than Dan Voorhees, of Terre Haute, R. N. Bishop, of Paris, ana J. B. Mann, of thia wisdom of Col. Beard, of Torre Hauto, Col. Scll- ers, and Judge Tanner, of Poris. It 1s probable that tho trial will occupy & whole week, possibly more, 23 ncarly 100 witnesses are to be examined. Both the parties, through their able counsel, expect to present the strongest case thev can, and the conflict ill be no child's play on either side, They are both well-known and occupy conspicuous places in the society of Fdgar County. From s financial point of view, the lady is woll-to-do and the gentleman wealthy —able, it is said, to stand a draft of 240,000, thould the jury, after heanng the evidence, agree that his once-affisnced had had her affec- tions injured to that amount. . DORE AND HIS WORKS. An American Woman’s Visit to the Great Erench Artist. Mrs, L. H. Hoopor contnbutes the following interesting sccount of & visit to Gustave Dore to Appletons' Journal : 1t waa upon a day of almost trovical heat that our party set off to pay our long-auticipated vie- it to the studio of Gustave Doe. Farmithed with a lotter from a personal friend of the great artist, we promisod ourselvos no less ploasure in our introduction to him than {rom sn inspection of his Intest pictares. It is always a keen source of gratification to me to bebold the ereator of uy great work of art which bas filled my soul with delight and thoroughly gratified my tastes; and 5o, having appicciated and delighted in the genius of Dore, from the moment that tho % Wandering Jew,” the first of his works that gained universal acceptance in America, was laid bofore me, it was with cousideruble cagerness that I looked forward to the coming interview. Hot und white aud silent lay the Rue Bayard un- der the noenday sun as we drove up to the door of No. 3 and iuquired if its mater wore at home. *‘Movsieur 18 Dot here yot,” answered the conrteous concierge; “but will the ladies and gentlemen give themselves the trouble to como in? He will return dircctly, and meanwhile thoy can amuse themsclves by looking at the pictures.” He unlocked and threw open an ioner door as he spoke. We entered in respoose to his - vitation avd found ourselves in the studio of Gustave Dore. It is & squre zoom of hugo dimensions, lighted by a skylight, and sufliciently lofty to accommo- dto the gigantic cauvases whoreon the arcist is accustomed to work out his vast conceptions, A square moyable platform on wheels, adapted 1o bo raised or lowered at pleasure, siood in the centre of the room. It is on this that Dore stzuds when at work on one of the colossal pictures which seem to spring into Dbeing 80 readily beuoath bis skillfal and rapid brush. A tablo loaded with brashes of every dimension, from the most delicate pencil to a Luge, overgrown muslroom of hair, another sirewed with books, ail bearing the inkcription, 4To M. Gustave Dore, with compliments of the author,” and with papers, letters, and visiting- cards, and scraps of drawings (ob, how my fiu- gers ttcned to appropriste one of these Inst!), a few cbairs, and 3 sofa mado up the furniture. No scraps of bric-a brac, no pieces of old armor or aatique furniture, no lay-figures or lengtis of colored drapery, the usual picturesque litter of au artis's studio, were visible, Tha foot slpped upou polished flooring guiltless of carpet. 1iuge green curtainy, intended to bide unfinished works from the gaze of vistors, hung from the walls,—olse all was bure, severo, yet_ zrandiose, trom thesizo and perfect adapiitude of the room to the uriist’s uses. 0f course, our first objects of intercst were the pictures. Of these there was no lack—Euished and unSnisbed, sketches dashied off secmingly with & few vigorons utrokes of the genius-direct- ed brusb, carefully-finished canvases framed and ready for exlubition, mighty and gigantic paiut- ings crowded with life-uize fgures. Tho work of Lialf au ordinary lifetime seomed concentrated iu thut one 100m, whose contents, Lowever, bear 80 8mal! 8 proportion to what the painter bas dono in the brief years of s lifo that has barely reachoed the warnuty of maubocd. My head fairly ached as I glaaced around me and thought of the gallery at London and thoe enormous Tist of his published illustrations—Dante, the Bible, Don Quixote, Milton, etc., to ay nothing of the yriad designs which he exccuted for_the illus- trated papers and tho liko, before Famo and Fortune came baad in hand to ecek out the gifted Loy. Dore is, 1u bis matchloss fertility and inex- haustible powers of imagination and 1nveution, the Alexandre Dumas of the brush, but Alexan- dre Dumas without a collaborateur. Our first object of attention was one of the huge cauvases which occupiod haif of onegide of the room, aud wkich was a scene from the ** In- ferno,” representing the hell of tho Liars tortured by serpents, The design was familiar to mo {from tho print in tho illustrations to Dante, and the picture displayed all that marvelous mastery of light and shade, and the power of indicating vast distances snd an ionumerable multtnde, wich which his wood-engravings bave made us acquainted. It is = tearful preture—the writhing, tortured forme, the scaly, glistening coils of the reptiles, the mighty multitude of sufferers that stretch away into the background, are all painful 0 contemplate. A smaller picture in oils stood near 2t band on an essel. It was the dream of the wifo of Poutius Pilate on the night preced- ing the crucitixion of our Savior. 0 nithe other eide of the room from the great picture which I first described (the scene frowm the “luferno’"), bung that ternble paioting, tuo ““ Massacro of the Innocents,” 1f ever man ninted sheer sgony, Dore has done it in that wreful picture, One young motber struggles madly to resch a baby, whom a brawny soldier holds aloftin bis pitiless grasp. Another clutcacs her intant to her breast, whilo the strong hand of one of the slayers is closed upon the little ehoulder, and opo’ secs that in apother moment the child will bo torn from her clasp. Prone upon the earth lies, in merciful insensibility, one hapless motber with ber babe, a bleeding corpse, beside her. But most dreadful of all 182 group in too background. One wrotched woman holds haddled up in ono arm tho crodle that containg ber chld, while with ber other srm sbie etrives to embraco its would-be mur- derer; and, with a look and gesture too painful for description, sho_offers Ler lipa to bis kies. *Take mo—take body and soul alike—but spare my child!” So eay her expression aud ber gesture. The borrible esgerness and the blended agony and offort at blendisbment of her face, contrasted with the brutal insensibility of the Eolaier, only intent on seizing bis prey, were something agonizing to conteniplate. In avotber part of the room haugs the fouch- ing picture of ** The Nountebanlks,” ove of the very few creatures of the pencil that ever drew. tears from my eyes. The rceno is the outside of a strolling player's tent, and in the distanco may be seeu s tight-rope, aud a crowd of peo- ple, and & little group of dressed-up daucing- dozs. In the foregrouad, in the shadow of tho teut, sits a woman weariug the tinsel crown and tawdry robes of cotton velvet and shably gauze of s player-queen. She holds to ler breast a poor, muscrable-looking starved little boy in the dress of an acrobat,with blood stream- ing from under » bandage round his head ; the poor littlo creaturo had fallen in somo oue of bis feats, and is badly ivjured—perhaps dyiog. Wonderful is the look of pain and misery on the shrapken little face, aud wonderful, too, the maternal anguish and solicitude in the mother's countenance. Beside the pair sits the father, & circus-clown in full aresy of white-daubed visage and comical three-corncred scarlet wig and spangled garment liis poor, pamted face is tho very picture of misery, and two largo tears are slowly making their way through the chalk that smears his cheeks, In the foreground one of the dancing-dogs, gotten up in a red bodice aud s yellow shirt for the performance, stands on Lis bind legs pawing and pulling at the Tuothor's dress and Lrying to win a recogmition from the dying child. it is a picture to break oue’s heart over in 1ts unutterable pathos. o sirango contrast to the forcgoing there hangs near it a lovely fairy ecene, wherein thoe frolic pencil of the artist that illustrated so ex- sitely the *‘Conter des Fees” has run 1oz, ‘he #cene 18 a mooulit forest-glide where nymphs aud fairies bave met to hold "bigh carnival.

Doro, with a1l his genius, nsually fails in depicting fe- malc beauty, but notalways, 23 witnees hisgrest picture of the *Gambling-Table at Baden-Ba- den.” The sirens e has pamnted there are fair enough in all conscience. Itwas to ihisim- mense and wonderfal painting that we next turned. It stretches across one ide of his large stadio, 30d it seemed to me asIstood would be necessary in order to enable me to ful- 1y sppreciate it, and_to master all those varied faces with their weslth of expression. I believe the picture is suficiently familiar to our public through the medium of photograghs to noed o apecial description from me. - Besides, it is not a new work; it was exhibited some time ago in London, aund then very fully described and com- meuted upon. A gentleman faultlessly attired, and with the red ribbon of the Legionof Honor at his button- holo, young-looking enongh to have beon thoughit the son of the artist who stirred the world of art with s new sensation, by the publi- cation of the * Wandering Jew," o many years ago—a short, yet maseive and powerful-looking figure, s full, broad, brow, a mass of dark hair pushed pegligently back, & brght complexion al- 1nost boyish in its freshness of coloring, a pair of dack, bright eves, » dark mustache—such is the outward aspect of Gustave Dore. In physique, complexion, and general appearance he is far mors Gorman _tban French (ke i, indecd, an Alsatiau). and the weird fervor of his imagina- tiou, recallivg as it does o often the strange canceptions of Atbrecht Durer, has always seemn- ed to me far more Teutonic than Gallic. But I took particular care to give no andible expression to my opinion, knowing as I did the fervid pature of the artiat’s pattiot~ iem. His manners are singularly frank aud sim- ple, and hoseemy in nowise oppreased by tho woight of his world-wide celebrity. We chatted for somo moments about indifferent subjects, and then the conversation reverted to bis works. Hoveral favorite oncs were mentioned by differ- ent persons io the party, aod then turning to that picture of ** The Mountebanks » which had 80 struck me, I asked if the poor wounded chud were guing to die. “Yes,” answored M. Dore ; “hois dying. I wished to depict the tardy awakening of naturo in those two hardened, almost brutalized beings, To gain money they bave killed their child, and in Killing him they have found out thay they had hearis.” - ** Ta it to be exhibited 2" I aaked. I think of sending it to London to be ex- bibited and engraved there,” he answered. + Had it been finished I should have seut 1t to the Salon, where it would bave made a gond con- trast with *The Chnstisn Martyrs,' being in 80 entirely different & style. The English engraver wishes me to call it * Behind the Scenes,’ but its French title will be, I thwk, smply ¢ Agonie.' " It mattors little what it is called,” I said, “ittells its own story; but, were it mine, I should call it in English * Heartoreax. He had some dilliculty in comprehiending tho snggosted title, for he speais very litile En- glish, and_our conversaticn had been carried on wholly in French, And * caur brise ™ or ** une ceenr qui o brise ™ translutes but ill the brief puthos of the compound Euglish word. Ho pointed out to us the fuce of one of the slayers in the “llassacro of the Innocents.” * He hates his task,” ho remarked.

Itis “ A Tnieves' Collar in Whitechapel,” ascene by candlelight showing s crowd ot de- based and hideous beings in their noctarpal baunt, groups of lascars, thieves playing carde, women with horrid faces, muscrable-looking chil- dron, brussl-looking met ; und whe red rays of a soltary candle lighting up the whole with a sort of dim yet lwid radiance. s singular mastery of light and shado was marvelously dmplayed w that small bt unpleasant picture. 1 asked M. Doreif ho was fond of London. # I like it very much,” he auswered, *‘ partica- latly the Euglish socicty.

Gusiavo Aimard (who located tigers in Mexico i one of hus plays, aud made_one of his heroes bear the sobriqaot of tiger-slayer. by reason of tho number of those feroions auimals he bad slain in that country) koesw rather more about the lawlese inbabitauts and savage cus- toms of San Francisco thau I did. “Ta it true, AL Dore," asked one of tha party, *{liat, as the papers continually assert, you are now engagzd upon & sexiea of iliustrations to ianeate H true,” he made answer; “but itis an undertaking that Ido no:mean to basten, nei- ther will I dispore of the work before it 18 fin- ished, Wheu I bave to work to order,—when I know that I must finish a picture at a cerrain time, all inepuration deserts me.

Another picture which we bad not before ob- served was that of ** The Outcast"—a woman Iying aslcep on & stone bench in_ the moonlight, wrapped in a tarian shawl, ter bead resting ou s coil of rope, and her baby folded to Lier breass. The couvertation then turned upon Doie's great picture of * The Curistiau Marsyrs,” 0w on exbibition ut the Salon, which represcuts tho Colosseum by mooulight, sad the wiid beasts prowliug amud the dead bodies of the mariyrs they have slaiu, white overhead hoveis a train of silver-shining, whaite-winged angels—the ono workiin the whole exbibition that shows real imagnation or fervor of feehng, Some one made the artist laugh very bLeartily by quoting 1o bim & mot of Canstisn’s, the actor, who isat present playing Juptler st the Gaicte, in the grund_reproduction of Offenbach's ** Orphze sitx Enfers.” Christian went one day to the Salon with a party of his fellow-artists, When they cameo to * The Christian Mariyre actress among them askod Vizentini what the picture represented. ‘- Don't you ses" 2a- swered Jupin, it is a party of actons taking supper atter a first representstion?” Ax I threw a farewell glance around the studio before taking leave, a feeling of astonishmens at the marvelons versatilits, as well as the fertilicy, of the artist’s genius filled my miod.

It was the press of ideas that bad forced on that busy band,—the uncon- trollable impulse of the creative power. “And of all my pictures bere,” ho said, * you were mos¢ struck with ‘The Mountopanks,’ I perceive. Well, it is one of my own favoritea also, and I think it will be popalar.” ““Of that I do not think there is auy doubt,” Ireplied. “Itis apicture to chain the senses and to touch the heart. It must be popular if intellect and feeling be not banished from the public mind."” As I turned to take leave my eye fell upon & blackboard in one corner, whereon Dore dashed a few careless Jines in chalk. Seen near at hand the sketch gcemed like s confnsed mass of scratches; but, from the distance where I 8tood, I beheld1n it amooulit forest-glade, while among the dark trunks of treeain tho foreground flitted fairy shapes, each with a star of intense light upon her brow.

Reeder was very small, not over 4 foet 6 1aches in Leight, singularly youthful in appest- suce, and given to a pompaus, overwheiming, einborate politeness, which, in connection with bix-diminutive stature and Mmaguiticent costume, gchally reminded one of & beuevolent bui Iuguly diplomatie tomtit. Apait from his jour- palistic pursuits, Reeder hea qaite a name inthe tacatrical line, being a dilettante comedian of coosiderable merit. Everybody lked him, laughed kindly at his little peculiarities, and re- epected the brave and clivalrous spirit which they bad found to be amoug his characteristics. To eee Reeder in tie editorial room, receiving an irate party, and particularly oue of the rouglior species, was & privileyo to be eterually grateful tor. His microscopic bize, bis gorgeous toilet, his profuse courtesy, and s grandilo- quent addrees were simply smusing. ~Callers with well detined injuries, but limited intellect, went away in the firm conviction that Reeder thought them the purest, loftiest, and most per- secuted of mortals. Entering the Picayune of- fice with the rooted purpose of mangling and bruising the chbroniclers of their complications, they would reciro belioving thet Reeder was too sogelic for this world, and that his references to them were only made after a bitter struggle with remorseless duty and at the expense of a bleed- ing heart. fio was perfectly resdy to fight, however, whenever the case demasded it; and thereby haogs s tale. Oue day an enormous, rough, ferocious-look- ing man eutered tbe oflice and_inquired for the editor. Much to his sorrow, Reeder had to say that the editor was abseut. “T'm sorry o' that,” said the big man, sitting down, and depositing a large, mangy carpot-bag near his chair. *1 stopped over ope day just tosoe him.
