16 THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1874, THE EXPOSITION. A Beview of the Situation Yesterday. Increasing Attractiveness of All the Departments Continuation of the Criticism of the Paintings. The Figure Pieces. IN GENERAL. Up to yesterday the public mind had be?‘} fall of misgivings and more than ordinarily solicitous about the saceess of Chicago’s socond L.nduntn:d Exposition. This came of tho fact that xnlundc_d exhibitors were slow, not only in claiming posi- tions, but also in presenting their wares. Tho rolicitude, not only of the management, but of the public, was materially eased yesterday by THE UNEXPECTED INFLUX of articles for exhibition from almost every sec- tion of the countrs, and of almast every conceiv- sble character. Befors tho opening of the doors of tho bailding a large quantity of tho products of theskill and industry of Western mabufac- turers wero in waiting to be placed in position, aod to share in tho approvals of the thonsands who flock hither to ses and be scen. No words can portray the delight of the mansgement at every new acceesion Lo the Exposition. During the entiro day smile fol- lowed smile 88 room was made for the new at- tractions that came pouring in. While every articlo has an intrinsic valuo to the exhibitor, it bas an increased valuo to the managers, who hevo their thousands invested in catering to the pablic appetite, and doing an honor to the heart of tho Great West,—our own Chicago! But tho delight at the growth of the exhibi- tion was by no means confined to tho managers. Tho cmployes take an equal pride in the growth, 8 the probability of the Exposition being con- tinued two months instead of one is heightened by evers addilion to the collection. Some of them were 80 pleased yesterday afternoon that they were actually civil to inquirers, and goner- ally respectful to all visitors. Among the departments to which interest was added yesterday, none improved on the provious days at a greater ratio than the - AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY AND IMPLEMENT DE- PARTMENT. This department was, for the first time, présent- able and creditable. Although it is as yot far be- hind what it was o yearago in extent, it onjoya several features that canuot fail to please. The articles on exhibition are eathered from a wider rsage of territory than last vear, which is cer- tainly very favorable to the permanency of tho Exposition. Another feature is the competition of exhibitors. It matters not what is the gen- eral reputation of the manalacturers for their roducts, each scems to be par excellorce, at Fens&i.n tho finith of thie machines presented. Especially is this the caso in THE REAPER AND MOWER DEPARTMENTS, in which New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Tows, AMichigan, Wiszonsin, snd our own State aro fully represented. The most astuto Granger would find himself Enuled if calied to pass upon this movement or that. Here is ono that reaps only, while beside it is another that both reaps sod mows. Hear is snother that reapsand rakes, while boside it is an_equslly simplo ma- chino that reaps, rakes, and binds! From tho Larvesters, if you turn to tho throehers, the ri- Valry is slmost equal—at lonst sufficient to convince ope tbat s great . many things oxist without his knowledge. And turn- ing to the plow, in imitation of tho thousends of bankrupt politicians vow seattered over tho prarics of thia West, but with an entirels differ- ent purposo, one is in an instent almost con- vinced that the swords of tie late rebellion have oll been transformed into plowahares. Tho va- riety of plows is beyond count, and the peculiar virtuos claimed for each would makea bappy appendage to last year's almanac. All the aver- ago looker-on knows about a plow is that it plows, and with this limited information most of the viitors vesterday seomed content. Dut the agricultural department is far from being full. A great deal of vacant spaco yet re- mains—every article on exhibition might duplicated without overcrowding the department. Much that is slready i the building is boxed up or Inving around in an omwviting shape. By the middle of the coming week it is anticipated that this department will present its best appearance. The sttractiveness of THE MACHINE DEPABTMENT, ‘which is not purely agricultural, was also great- 1y enhanced cduring theday. Local manufac- turers, a8 well as many from abroad, were busy all day in getting their products in shape. With- out doubt this department is sccond only in completeness to the Art-Gallery. Almost every imsginable machine ia already on thoground, and the £kill of the country at largo is well ropre- eented. This departmeut ia rogarded a3 shesd of what it was last year now. but it will not be completo for several days. Without enumornt- ing auy of the special attractions, it is safe to £ay that this department alone js worth 2 visit to the Exposition. TIE OTHER DEPARTAENTS are steadily improving. Large aud iumm rdditions wero mado to the Art-Gallery later in tho afternoon. A box was received. from G- P, A. Healey, Paris, containing throc portraits and five figure-pieces. 1t may bo a day or two beforo theso pictures will be ready -for exhibition, as tho frames were damaged in traneportation. It is certain that they cannot. be seen on Mondsy. Workmen are engaged day and night in making needed improvements, and in contributing to the polish, neatnees, and newness of the Exhibition. On the whole, tho Exhibition yesterday and Jast night wasa great improvement over the preceding days. The crowd in attendance, too, was lerger, and the indications were on all bands that the Exposition of 1874 will provo aliko profitable aud pleasing to the public and its managers. §o far, the attendance has increased with the attraction, which is very natural. The management 18 determined to do all in its power 1o gratify the public expectation. —_— THE ART DEPARTMENT. ANIMAL PIECES. The animal paintiogs in the Exposition collec- tion are not very numerous, bat fortunately they possess unusual excellonce. 1t may be said that there is not a poor picture in this department, and some of them as works of art will rank su- perior to anything elsein the exhibition. Among the works of thus kind is No. 35, *‘ LANUSCAPE AND CATTLE,” by L. S. Voliz, of Muanich,—a very largo picture owned by Gov. Morgan, before which artists aud . connoisseurs love to linger. The scene is not < only remarkable for its animals, but also for its Jandscape. In the latter respect it shows the hand of amaster. A broad, sweeping stretch of country is before us, painted in the most vigor- ous manner, with superb effects of light and ebode. A storm is gathering in tho west, and lowering upon the distant horizon. Tho atmos- phere is eo transparent and almost palpiiating that the cattle hastening to shelter seem almost tomove through it. Altbough it isa large herd, every snimal has been made a separate sad careful study 1n color and action, and evory faco bas been given s distinct and characteris- tic cxpression, sbowing the closest studs, and most intimate scquaintauce with the peculiari- ties of cattle. It is a vigorous, broad, sad noble, and yet peculiarly unostentatious, work, whicl: bught to be lefs here for a8 permanent etudy, 28 a model of purc art m all its sim- plicity and grandeur. The same_artist has an- otber smaller cattle-scene, No. 95, * Lundscapa and Cattle,”in which the general features of landscape-work rescmble the foregoing. The cattle, however, are painted in more positive aud varied action, giving the spoctator a closer study of animal peculiarities. No. 175, *‘THE BISON BULL AT BAY,” by W. J. Hays. New York. It is not very likely that any one will lose this bold and vizoious pic- ture, as it forces itself upon attention in any part of the galiery. Tho sizo and strength of the animal are apily cusracterized in the etyle of the painter. Tho leader of the herd has been pierced with an arrow, and has been brought to & dead etand-utill, wiule the rest ot the herd ato moking off in safety. The hugo brute stands reeling, his mouth dropping foum, sud his eves glaring, and bebind Lim the eager, steslthy wolves are creepiug up through the thick fgrces swaiting he moment when he shall fall. Brorything in the wark i3 sacrificed fo sireogth. The graes and herbage are put in with a few bold touches, and the distant sunset is heavy and lurid, eimply forming & powerful background agunst which to set tho towering bulk of the dying monster. The animal iteelf 15 painted in the enme general manner,—huge, coarse, and swrong. In this way the artist Las obtained a powerfal effect, and has made s scene in keeping with the sentiment he wisbed to obtain of brute rtrength aud bruto fear. The same artist sontribites two small pictures,—No. 32 “Herd of Cariboo,” and No. 164, “Mule Deor,"—which ase interesting rather as close studies in natural history than as artistic stud- ieg, both of them being cold and hard mn color. No. 445, “ LANDECAPE AND CATTLE,™ by Constant ‘Troyon (decoased), of Paris. Al- though this picture by the greac Freuch artist is a small one, and may escape the attontion of the . geueral erowd, no connoisseur should pass it by withont study. Of its kinditisa perfectgem. The littlo canvas is crowded with excellence both in lundscape sud the figures, which are models of absolutely correct drawing, vigorous and char- acteristic _action, and perfoct finish. There is another picture by the same artist, No. 27, ** Cat- tle 10 aP00l," of the sanie general quulity as tho above, except that the effect i sketchier, and the Jandscape more picturesque. No. 113 and No. 241, * Dogs Dolight " and “The Friendiy Meal,” by Z. Noterman, Paris, very pleasant little animal-studics. The latter 13 o vory unique scene, several dogs of differont breeds awaitig thoir meal beforo a soup-kettle, before which s moukey sits with 1adle in band, the very personitication of culinary diguity. No. 117, “ TIHE NOONDAT BEST,” and No.223, “The Shephierdess,” by Techagreny, of Bruseels (deccased). Small pictures by this artist have been exhibited here before, but none g0 important e theso. The first represents a peasaut resting from bis work and quafling his beer by the side of his rude plow, onoof the cattle lymng down, and tho other standing ; tho second, a pretty little sheperdess, who might serve for o portrait of Bopeep, with staff and basket in baund, trudging along over tho sand- hills towards the distant water, surrounded by her little flock of sheep, some of them meekly following the dignitied old ram, andsome of thom stopping to nibble at the scanty sand-grass. Both pictures are quiet scenos, and beautifuily painted. ‘The latter is especially noticeablo, for the faith- fulness with which the bleak sand-lulls are given 23 well as the life-like picture of tho sheep. No. 272, i “ BROOK TROUT," by W. Holberton, New York, a_group of tront very siff and woody, but good iu color. A much bettor sample of troni-painting is No. 80, by 8. A. Kilbourne, of New York, » trout’ hang- ing from the hook in a clump of clover, which 18 magniticently arawn and colored. No. 131, * Sheep,” by Van Severdonk, of Brus- sola. This sitist’s sleop are 8o well known bero that it is hardly necessury to do moro thun al- Jude to the present one. ~Almost every one who has seen pictures ai all knows tho Van Sever- donk sheap as far as he can 660 them. Nos. 132 and 146, ** Fowls," by Willis, of Lon- don. Companion picces, and very careful and fughly finished sketek No. 2, ¥ A STAMER PASTOB&L." by Verbockhoven, of Brussels, s vory happy name for this quiet snd beautitul sumuier story by the Nesior of aviwal-painters, whostill in his 824 yoar Iabors with_all the enthasiasm and in- dnstry of youth. His pictures aro well known here, but this is tho largest oo that has ever foundits way to Chicago, and brings out ot only- his wonderfui deawing, but the cxpressions in theirscemingly cxpressionless faces. His keen oy has discovered what others have failed to find, namely, that ono_sheep's head differs from anothar as one star differcth from snother in glory. The picturo is o charming surprise, as nearly ail of his works which bavo been shown | Dere hitherto bavo been small. Thero is alsoa goat piece, No. 211, by tho samo artist. No. 183, ** Cattla,” by Robbe, of Lrussels, A very pretiy and close study of catclo in various | attitudes. No. 191, *‘Game,” by G. N. Cass, of New York. A very close, still lifestudy of grouse, tho plumage of which 13 very delicately and care- fally managed. No. 263, **Game," by Matthias Leyenaecker. Acloso and beautiful drawing in undertones, Ccharacterized by vers smooth finish, No. 228, “Tne Pets,” by A. I. Tait, of New York. Itisa long time since any of Mr. Tait's works have been ecen bere, excopt in the inovit- able chromos. Iu this picture wo have not only agroup of his iuimitzble chickeus just cut of thio shell, but also some young rabuifs for their companions, which, in grouping, sction, and texture e has never excelle: No. 233, ‘IsIlo Dead or Onlv Fooling ?” by ‘W. Holberton, of New York; a littlo canvas on which the artist has told a characteristic story. On ono sido the brook, the cunning fox is pro- tending to bo stvetched out dead on the grass. On the other side tho ducks sre holding a con- sultation over the situation, with the prospect that they will crors, and meet their inevitablo destiny. There is a fine veiu of quiot bumor in the work, and good painting. No. 224, ** THE REJECTED,” by J. IL. Beard, of New York. Mr. Beard, who once bad & studio 1a tho Crosby Opera-Houso in the good old days, is weil known horo as & dog- painter, and *“The tejected ™ is one of his best. The terrier, who has cted s fawn-colored beauty, eita upon a mat with a bit of blue ribbon about his neck, the very imago of pride and scorn, while the one who is rejected is sneaking away ' sbjectly and vet norrowfully,—a picture of humility, notwithstanding bis gay caparisons ing, which has Liad no effact upon tho scornfal heauty. There is also avpther picture of his, No. 317, ** Peep at the Comiag Danger,” group of rats studying come slesping puppies. it bo- longs to Mr. Safford. of tbis city. In his specialty of dogs. Mr. Borrd stands unrivaled, as well 88 in his kecn sens» of humor in impart- mi human chaacteristics to them. No. 323, *“Trout,” by H. L.

No. 369, “ FLEEING FROM TRE FIRE,” anold picture by Adolph Schreyer,of Paris, representing a drove of Lorsos flceing in terror from & bmuinf barn. The figures of the horses are very small, but tho action is wonderfully powerful and graphic. Althoagh an old and toned-down _picture, it i8 ove of the most im- pressive and masterly in the whole collection, aud should not be neglected. The touch and general handling are full of lifo and power. FRUITS AND FLOWERS. The fruit and flower pieces &ro not very nu- morous, but, Like the animal-pieces, are almost universally oxcellent, d No. 65, *“ Fruit and Flowers,” by Van Oss, of Dueseldorf, low-tonced in color, but the flowers and fruits aro finely drawn, and very gracefully grouped nbouts large vase, the cool gray of which makes an sdwmirable reliof. No. 276, * Crown of the Vintage,” and No. 76, “Grapes,” by George H. Hale, of Now York, who Lias made grapes a specialty, and whose pic. tures aro well known bero. The first is a clus- terof purple, white, and bluo grapes, with s spray of leaves above tbem ; and the eecond, which has been seen here before, a bunch hang- ing from a grotesque head oo a column. Thoy wre temptingly ripo and pulpy. No. 213, * Pine-Apples,” by C. Millor, of New York, one of the closest and most faithful cop- ies of fruit in the collection. C. P. Ream, of New York, contribuzes several fruit-pieces which are very showy. and yot very truthful, bits of color. Among them are No. 77, “ Fruit*; No. 239, -* Autumnal Fruit "; No. 260, “ Golden Penches™; No. 273, “ Raspberrica " ; and No. 287, * A Xegal Dessert,” No. 6, “ Fruit," by J. W.

THE ATHLETICS DEFEAT THE BOSTONS, Bpecial Dispatch to Tne Chicago Tribune. Bostox, Sopt. 12.—The Bostons had & warm welcome this afternoon. Every preparation had boen made to receive them. DBrown's Bri- gade Band occupied the staud, aud there wore almost 4,000 people prosont, filling up all the ‘seats. Aa the two nines came on the field they were received with music by the band, and loud cheers from the crowd, the blue-legs having no reason to complain of indifferenca. The game was opened promptly, and it was soon evident that the Bostons were pnof in luck., They lost the toss to begin with, and for four innings were unable to score. Each player as ho stepped to tho bat got his round of applauso, but tho first thirteen strikors, with the exception of Leon- ard, wero retired in one, two, threo order, with- out reaching first base. The Athletics, on the coutrary, brought their two first strikers inm, one of them earning his ran, sod in the third inning McGeary adaed another run to bis score just before George, Barnes, and O'Rourke had doubled up his successor. Iu the fifth inning the Bostous first broke the ico, McVeyand Leon- ard each earning first base, and O'Rourke second before the side was sent out consocn- tively a8 usual, This inning also gave the Ath- letica two runs, ono earned. The gamo wag lost for the DBostons in the sixth 1oning, when four men got to the firet baso, but mono of them resched home. White, Spalding and McVoy were on the bases, when Leovard forced White at home, taking first, whero he and the others wero left by 0'Rourke's foul-bound to Clapp. In the seventh the *old man " hit a two-bager, and Schaffor a good one for tho fiml, and’ both scored, bringing the eides fivo and five; bui Reach, by a maguificent crack to ri%‘hb field. oz lus second, and subsequently went home, giving themn a lead of ove. This way the las run scored on either sido. Tho visitors got two men oa the bases, and succceded in entching O'Rourko at third while making o vigorous effort to tio the game. The plaring on both sides was very nine, ond showed conclusively that their right hands bad Dot lost their cunning. A'total of eixht errois, with no passed ball, is s record which few clabs can match. Fusler, Aneon, Sutton. aud Clapp wera always on hand iu the tield, whilo McGeary was sure both at tho | bat and at short-stop. The Bustons played well, the only arrors being three fumbles by Whize, McVoy, O'Tonrke, aud Schaffer. ''ho band did its dutv very well, and created much amuse- ! ment by the antness of its selections. * O, dear, what can the matter be,” scomed very ap- | Propriate when tho Bostons ciosed their inning without o run, and - Sce, the conquering hero comes,” was given when {arry Wricht stepped out.

A Singular Accident. The Providence Press contains the following account of a very singular accident and narrow escape from death: “ A remarkable accident, which come mear resulting in the death of a young lady, occurred st the Delaine Mill in Ol- neyville to-day. Margaret Donnelly, aged 18 years, of No. 10 Howard streot, is_emploved in the sewing-room, snd runs s sewing-machine, Abont half-past 9 o'clock this moring, one of the young men at work in this room took up & { Topo somo 20 feet in length, for the purposo of i throwing it over one of the rails snspended from the celling, n order that he might *pull’ some | cloth over it. A noose was fixed at the end of the ropo in which one of the ends of the cloth is placed, and by this process tho cloth is drawn } over to another machine, situated some 30 or 40 feet away. Therope was coiled up like a lasso, but in throwing it from him the young man miscalculated tho distance, snd it was sent over ome of the main shafts, which passes throngh the sewing-room | into ona of the adjoining rooms. The nooss | caught Miss Donnelly firrly around the uveck, | and, befors she was aware of it sbe was drawa { euddenly upward. Her assistant. 8 young woman | some years her senior, took in the situstion at a | glance. and grasved her by the waist, meanwhilo screaming loudly for assistance. A vonng man standing near by ran to aid the mnfortunate young woman. and grabbed her by tho dress. i All three were pulled up some 10 feet or more, when Miss Donvelly's head came in contact with 3 board dpmjecriug near the shaft, the rope gave way, and they wero violentiy precipitated to the floor. Miss Donnelly was picked up in an in- seusiblo condltion and conveyed to hor residence. Dr. J. B. Greene was summoned, snd. on exat ination, ::was found that her neck had been seriousiy bruised, and sho had sustained other severo injories. It is expected that sho will re- cover. lcr companion slso received n severs wound on the head. Wo learn that no blame is attached to the young man who bad charge of the rope. The escaps was & miraculous one.™ CHIC;‘L—(;O UNIVERSITY. An Appeal to the Alumni Association. Tho following interesting corrospondence be- tween Dr. Burroughs, Chancellor of the Univer- sity of Chicaro, and the Rev. Mr. Mabie, Presi- dent of the Alumni Association, will explain it~ self : Creano, Sopt, 12, 1874, The Rev. Fenry C. Mabie, Premdent of the Alumnt Assoctation : Dean Sin: Yon are aware that the managers of the University are determined that the present year shall mark on ern of fresh activity and progress in every dcpartment of its intercsts, sud especidlly in the en- Targement of its financial resources. Withant procrens in this direction, go one scquainted with the affairs of the University necd be told that it 1a vain ln expect progress of any kind. Unless the University can to relieved of the burden of dobt which bns long welghed | it down, and provided with something like respoctablo endowmenta and apparatus of instruction, and that without much delay, it is_plain that it must bo hope- lessly dwarfed, if not wholly rained. The time for such an effort i3 doubtlem in many reapects inauspicious; bat yon and all who know ths exigency of the situstion will agree thatto wait for more favorable conditions, beforo at lesnt beginning to zct, would be fatal. On tho other hand, two circum- stancea clearly indicate the prosent as the time for no- tion. I allude to the acquisition which the University haa secured n the snccessdon of 60 able & man sa Dr. oms to the Presidency, and the awakened attention of the public to the interests of edacation, connected with the approaching Nafonal Centennial Tho ‘Trustecs, thercfors, cannot but hopo that nothwith— standing the depression of the country, the friends of education thronghout the Northwest' will recognizo the occarjon 83 a fitting one for a frash exprearion of their intereat fo_the Universitr. And in this oort may we not, first of sll, look confidently to the grad- uates, of whoso coustant and gonerous confidence the University has alrerdy had o many proofa? 1am awaro that your Association ix comparatively small, and that even the oldest graduates are yet soung o their professions, At tho same timo when I sce what, within fifteen years, tho graduates of the University of Chicago have done for themselvos, the positions to which they have réscn. and the character and influ- enico which they have aftained, I feel zsaured that they have alro energy and ability, as T know they have good- will, to give to an effart for tho relief and expansion of their Alma Mater. What form their co-operatim may best take they will defermine, Tne endowmont of n professorship {0 be filled by one of their pumber, and on their nom- ination, hias been mentioned ; and I_can tuink of no form af aid which would eeem to bo more appropriste, o7 nne woull be more ncceptablo to the Trustees, But in rogard to tho whole matter, it is very desirahio that your Associstion should havo full conenltation. Will you not, as Prosident, call a mesting for rhat pose’?

Butchers’ Meat, An interesting light, says the Pall Mall Gazette, is thrown on the mysteries of the slaughter- house by a memorial just presented by Dr. Yeld, Mecdical Officer of Health for Sunderland, to the Health Committeo of that town, against the “blowing and stufling of meats.” Tho practice of *‘blowing ™ is described as follows: ‘‘ A tuba or pip is thrus: under the ekin of the meat. and tho butcher or dresser then blows the foul air from his own lungs iuto the cellular tiksuo of the meat, tho effect being that a deceptive ap- pearance of plumpness or fatnces is piven to the meat, and in tnany cases it becomes tainted with the ecent of rum, tobacco, etc.” This is pleasant_for meat-consumers, and. whers igno- rance is bliss, it ia perliaps folly to bo wiee ; and, now that public attention bas been called to the “blowing” practice, it mighs perhaps be as well for butchers ®o far to meet the wishes of the fast:dious, as to use 2 pair of bellows for the purpose of giving & gracefal embonsoint to the carcasses of aniwals they kiil. Even for their own sakes they will act prudently by discontinn- ing tho use of tho lungs in tile rrocess.

His suggestions were adopted unanimously by the Health Com- mittee, at Sunderland, and it is to be hoped that Dot only in that town, but elsewbere, artificial fatness will at least bo produced by less disagreeable means than those mentioned by Dr. Yeld. LOCAL POLITICS. The Contest in the First Con- gressional District. Charley Kern and the Shrievalty. THE FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DIS- TRICT. i The sspect of affairs in the First Congression- al District is, to say the least of it, unsettled. There i, indeed. no lack of candidates, or of probable candidases, but there aproars to be au uncertainty of policy very hard to understand. OX THE REPUBLICAN SIDE of the house Joun B. Rice appears to be the fa- vorite, although Arthur Dixon is making great excrtions, however they may result, to control the primaries and secure the nomination. Mr. Dixon served a term in the Legislature, where ho was no more stupld than nine-tonths of his confreres. His career in the Council has besn respectabls enough, but, while be- may know how to vote on a sewerage appropriation, oron tho appointment of bridge-tenders, Mr, Dixon's early training bas bhardly fitted him to rapplo with questions of a grave national char- acter, and in Washington he would undoubtedly be a £:sh out of water. _But there is very little danger, indeed, of Mr. Dixon being placed in & position so trying to himself no less thaa to his constituents, Another gentleman spoken of among the Re- publicaus, and wbo, it is 2aid, has a groat many warm backers w the Citizens' Assocuution, iy MR. SIDNEY BTTH, well known in this community as a saccosafal lawser. Mr. Smith is a gentemsn of high re- spectability, and, as an oflice-secker, bas not been industrious. Ou the oppusition side of the line, M1, B. G. CAULFIELD appears to b, so far, first choice. Evervbody Luows Mr. Caulfield. His nationality is Amen- can—his blood is 1rish—his religion is Catholic. 1o was born in Kentucky.

He issued a proclamation to that effect and soon crossed the Itio Grande, whero ho eottled down as an ap- prencice giazier. The Mexicans, howerer, soon settled with the foreign Ewmperor, and Mr. Caulticld thought it best to retusn to the wither~ ivg despotima which. in a moment of proud duvotion t tho principles of human freedom, he bad abandoned. Consequently he bas sinco resided in the United States. day, he wisbes to form n unit of the Congressional body and with that object in view is before the people. He has not yet publicly declared himsolf, but it is about 1 time that he should.

To the Fditor of The Chicago Triounz: Siz: In your last Sunday's TninuNe, nnder the head of * Local Politics,” you speak of prominent men fur the office of Sheriff at our coming election. Six of those named are Irish- men, and you say it is conceded that the odico of Sheriff must be given to tho Irish element. ‘Thousands of Americans, Germans, Irish, and men of all nationalities, only ask for the nomination of a good man, they care not of what nationality, and they will cheerfully support him in opposition to the nominee of the Republican party. After giving the peculiarities of the Irish clement, you mention the name of Charley Kern 28 a sort of political ninepin, et up for several wuccessive years, only to be knocked down, as also n candidate for Sheriff. The writer of this article has known Charles Kern over since 1350. He came to Terre Haute, Ind., in 1849, a poor German orphan boy. He got work in a hotel, and made himself genorally useful, making friends of all who knew bim and about bm. Io & few years he was in business for himself. In 1362 ko was nomimated for the ofico of Shenif by a Democratic Convention of Vigo County, Ind., by acclamation against his will or wisaes. Vigo Counnty, tho year previous, gave a Republican majority of over 2,000 votes. It looked an up- hill business for a Democrat to take the field for an ofiice, but Kern, after much persaavion, made the raco and beat the strongest man the Repub- licans could get up for Sheriil, ruuning a long, ways ahead of bis ticket, and after ho was elect ed made one of tho very best Sheriffs, or amongst the best, in Indiana. In 1855 he came to Chicazo to live. He soon became known, and, 88 in bis old Lome, made friends, and became_very popular. In 1863 he was nominated for Sheriff m a Cookx County Convention by acclammation. He wna defeated with the reat of tho ticket, but, as in Indiana, ran far ahead of his ticket. and reduced the ma- jority of tho Kopublican candidate several hundred votes. In 1870 he was again nominated in a Democratic Convention by scclammation, and, being better known than in 1863, reduc- ed ' his opponents' majority 2,700 ~ votes, and raa. ahead of John Wentworth, who was on the seme ticket, for Congress 3,500 votes. 1n 1872 ho was again nominated by acclammation. Judgo Otis, Car- tcr, Harrison, and others of our best citizens, wefo on ths ticket for Congress and other of: fices. As usual, Kern ran ahead of his ticket by several thousand votes, and reduced his oppo- nent's, Tim Bradley's, majority 3.472 votes. [n this election ko gave evidence of popularity be- yond the expectations of his best and warmest Iriends. In a vear of Presidential election, with lines closely drawn, men generaily go tbe wholo hog, and thero is o time for scratching tickets. No other man in Cook County could buve begun to change &s many votes as Charley Kern aid. Now a word to the County Conservative Con- part veutton. Sclect good. reliable men toplace upon your ticket. In doing so have an eye also to avalability. Tho souve figures show Charley Kern o great favorite with tho people. Lo has eacificed Lis time aud means ' several times at the demand of his party, when the great Kepub- Tican mojority in the county made it impossible Zor n Deinocrat to bucceed in an clectioa for any oftice when on # straight ticket. Things havo chaoged : several thonsand voters heretoforo acting with tho Tiepublican party will. in the comiug election, vote with the Opposition, or Couservative party. If you place beloro them & good ticket, make Charléy Kern one of the nom- 1nees ; he will run _ahead of his ticket several thousand votce, and will beat Tim Bradley, or any man upoa the Kepublican ticket for Skeriff, so badly ho'will not know he was & candidate. He will make a Sheriff that will give satiefaction tosll. He is ncqnainted with the dities of ths office, and will Liave none but competent men for Deputies and Bailiffs. No Deputy of hs will dare to demand extra fees before necving a writ_or levying an execu- tion. Lawyers practicing in Cook County Courts will not bo compelled to gec one of these clerka deputized. io order to got a process served. When needed, Mr. Kern will be on band, and do his duty. TavTH. CmcdGo, Bapt. 13, 1674, HAYDEN’S SURVEY. The Three Divisions of the Organization. b Modus-Operandi of Carrying an the Work, Daily Life of the Surveying Party. Correspondenre of The Chicago Tribune. IN GANY ON A SMALL TRIBUTALY OF THE GuaND Liven, Aug, 20, 1574. The surveys ot the Western Territories, which have been carried on for several years by Dr. Hayden, are widely known through the publish- ed reports and through the press of the country. Owing to the long session of Congress the past winter and_spring, the commencement of field- work by this organization was delayed to 2 lata date. Usually getting the parties into the field as oarly as the season -would permit, in most cases during the moath of May, this year they were delayed until the middle of July. The organization for fisld-work this year is very noarly the same as last year. There are THREE WOEKING DIVISIONS, to each of which is assigned a defimte district to be worked up. Eachof these parties conslsts essentially of a geologist and topographer (one of whom is in charge of tho party), with assist- | ants, packers, and a cool. The Northern Divis- ion has a district bounded on the north by the 40th parallel of latitude; on the east, generally, by the west boundary of Aiddlo Park; on the south, by the Esgle and Grand Rivers; and, on tho west, by ths western boundary of Colorado. The district assigned to the Mid- dle Divivion is limited on the uorth oy the Eagle and Grand Rivers; east by the 107:h meridian; eouth vy the parallel of 3§ doz. 30 min.; west by tho west line of the Territory. The Southern Divigion has the southwestern corper of tho Territory, lying south of the district of the Mid- dle Division. Of the natural features of this vast arca, very littlo 1s known. & few oxplorers have crossed il, giving us its geverul feasures, Lut nothing is known at all accurately or ir. de- tail, In 1850-'51, Capt. Gunnison crossed it, fol- Jowing down Cochetopa Creck and the river that beers his name. Fremont crossed it farther north. Varions explorations of parts of tho country, for laying out wagon-roads, bave been made, but without enriching our kuowledge of tho coantry materiatly. . Settlements aro fow and small. With the ex- ception of those in the mowly-discovered San Juan mining district, thero ARE FRACTICALLY NOSE. Nesrly the whole of the couniry lies in the reservation of the Ute Indizus, ana the vily set- tlements there are the two Agencies,—the White River and the Los Pinos. Ou the eastern edgo of the district, at the mouth of Cocbetops Creek, there is an embryo town, known as Guo- nison City. Besides the working divisions, Dr. Haydon has personal charge of u party for guuoral oversight ; Mr. Gardner, of & party for carryiug ou the prumary triangulation ; and the photographer has & party, to which are attathed the naturalists. The working divisions and the photographer's party started from Daaver on or about the mid- dle of July for their respective ficlds of labor. Your correspondent is attuched to the Middle Diyision, and it is with its fortanes that ho has chiefly to deal, This parsy numbers eight men, all told, snd started from Douver with eightoen aonimals, nd. ing and pack. It travelod to Pairplay, Scath park, by the regular stage-road ; theuce crossed to the head of the Arkansas River by tho Moa- quito tral, and crossed the main divide by Ten- nessee Pass,—commencing_work & few miles north of the pass, near the Mount of the Holy Cross. Now, o8 we aroabout to commonce work, let mo give ashort sketch of tho modue-operandi of carrying on topographical and geological work in 2 new country aud on a large seale. First, TOFOGLAPHICAL, a8 it is with that brauch thut I am best acquaini- ed. Lmprimis comes the prunary trisngulation. From a base meusured as sccuratoly as the necensizies of the work will allow, a “series of tr.angles 18 expaoded and oxtendod until it covers the whole area to be surveyed, and a fow of the most importsut peaks are located with extreme accuracy. The aagles aro, in thie work, measured with Jargo theodolices, and artificial giguals are used. The work is checked at suit- zble points by a second base-line, and by the satronomical location of certain points. Thus much by the primary triangulation party. Fol- lowing it come the working division. Their perc of tho work is to £l up the pri- ‘many triangles with smaller secondary triangles, and fill io.the topography by sketches, con- nectod by located pointa. The topographor has, in goneral, to scck the highest points, from which ke can overlook the surrounding country, 0 a3 to be able to trace out tho drainage, and the contoursof the hills and mountalos. ~ From this point, located in most cases by angles from other stations, ho measures angles from promi- nent points within the range of vision, to assisc in locating them, and eketches the drainago and monntain-and-hnll-forms in his neighborbood,— that is, within a radius of 5 or 10 miles, depend- ing upon the character of tho country, whrther cut up into emall detals, or carved into large, bold features, and of tho relative height of tho station above the surronnding country. THE ODSECT OF THE GEOLOGIST is, primarily, to make a map of the surface- Reology of the country. For this purpose, he accompanies the topographer on most of his sta- tions, to follow the line of outcrop of the forma- tions over the country. He locates these lines at certain points, and sketches them between thestations. To assistin the work, geological sectiona are mado when opportunity offers, and collections of fossils and rocks are made. Our genera! route of travel has been down the sle (marked on some maps a8 the “ Piney!’) to 1ts mouth ; thence down the Grand River to s point & few miles below the mouth of Roaring Fork: thencs up this emall branch of the Grand. At the head of tho Arkansas River, jthe Cup- tinental dividing ridgo, which, throughout its course across Colorado, falls below 13,000 feet in but few places, bere drops to an elevation of Litle more than 10,000 feet, and the nn[mmcbm to it aro 50 gradual that one cannot tell whero one water-shed ends and the other begins. Hesd- ing in tho pass is the Eagle River, which, with & courso gradually bendig from morth to wost, flows into the Grand. It course is alternatoly in open, beautiful meadows, and deep, gloomy canons, where the-trail climbe high up on tho walls, or is built on benches along the side. Many large tributaries pour iuto this stream during its course; ood ab its mouth it isa brawling, roaring_torrent, 200 feet wide, and fordable with diticulty at tho lowest stage of water. FIST— tho Iarge mountain-trout—aro abundant in this stream throuzhous the greater part of its course ; trout which are not educated up to the level of the artificial fly, but will jump at a grasshopper, or even a piece of bacon ; trout which scofll’ at a small hook and catgut, bite 1t off and swallow it. From the mouth of the Eaglo River down to near this place, tho Grand River is in a close cauon, with the exception of a bit of meadow at the mouth of Roaring Fork. Bulow the mouth of the strzam oo which wo_encamped the valley widens into s broad meadow, st least 20 miies loog, and folly as much in width. Ruoning down iuto it are long tongues of mesa from the hills ; and crossing it and the river, in 3 long fweeping curve, i3 a range of bills (in the East they would be mountains) of the true hog-back type, of etrata pitched up ata high anzle, and broken off, lesving & sharp ridgs ou top, and al- most & precipice on tho brokex side. OUR DAILY LIPE. Daylight finds camp astir ; the cook getting ‘breakfast, the packers catching up the paci- mules and puttinz on the aparajos; the others striking tents, rolliog up blaakets, and saddling riding mules and ponies. PBreakfast over, the chief of the party teils the hLead packer wheie tocamp at night; and the topographer and geologist, with such aseistants ss they may need for the work, start from camp, leaving the rest to pack and move on.
