ALONG THE AVENUES, TOE BETCRN OF SPLING frings out in freshor tints than ever one of tho prettieet street pictures that our people see. It joa glimpse of Michigan svenuo on & pleasant atiernoon, sod who that baa happened to be fhera at tho Tight time bas not been charmed by sppprospect? Naturo is, mo doubt, very well jnitawey. Art can also prodace a fino effect. Yet, after all, it takes a combination of Nature sod Art, in proporzion, to enturall the sensce. The lsaies undesstand the principlo when they {r thair most dalicate of silks with simple rosebuds, the contrast never failing to enrapture e msle vision. So with the scene presented br tho avenue avceortaia timos. Thero 1a a con- gally changing throng of equipages, coming 12d going, with & rattle of wheels and a swift- pess of motion that ia exhilarating. The ve- tides aro of 8ll etyles, from the grace- @ phseron to the stately barouche, wd by their very variety add to the stirchiveness Of tho scene. Of course, the looker-0n is more interested in the occu- pants thania the carriages, 2od here, too, is vast ecopefor the admiring faculties. As tho vehi- cles aro whirled past one catches a brief glimpse of fair faces, bright eyes, many-hued feathers, Soazces, avd frills,—the whole lenving & some- what nodefined image upon the mitror of ‘ro- membrance. but yet causiag & thrill of pleasura by ta goneral loveliness. Porhaps tho porpoa- gicular indisidual with tho black cockade, who +its on the box, i3 unpleasantly prominent some- times ; but the effect 15 not easily spoiled, espe- cially as peoplo ace accustomed to that arrange- ment. The earroundings muat not be overlooked. ‘Tho avenus itsall is 3noble thoranghfare, beiit- ting ite anstoczatic charactor. Thero are fine mazeions oo oither hand, many of them display- iog 8 seasslip of lawn io front, whilo the side- waiks are sbaded sith tine old trees. Then, for 5 barkground, thero is tho lake, rising up as far &8 the ore can reach to meet tho bluo sky. Aod. xs if this wero uot enough, the lower end of the rouse is bordered by the park, with 1ts well-kept walke and level lawns, and its modaat little sum- mer boase, festing in the middle of the minia- fare vale. Troo, there is rotenough verdure rettoeausfy all tho propristies of the land- Scare, the Rrass mot having recovored from its wister stupor, and tho trees projecting their spectral booghs tco apgularly, but thora is enough left to give expression to the features of the scaoe. Anotable_instance of tho mutabflity of fash- Jonis wisiblein Wabash avenue, where yet re- main many fine but faded old mausions, to at- testite former graodenr. Timo was when the svenne was arrayed in all the gav attire of fash- ion. Begioning with the old Chifton Ilouse on she corner of Madison streot, therg Was an im- posing succession of marble snd brown-stone Toutsall the wav up to Twenty-second street, wearing in their aspect all the insignis of wealtn. Then, the broad, cleauly-swept pavement. with the rown of stately treos on either side, formed one of the finest diives and promenades in the sty Buo misfortuno overtook it. The lower »nd, twice devastated by fire, has pever been ro- bmit except for purposes of trade. The trocs, which Wers ita chief or- pamoit, were singed beyond rosuscitation. snd, worse than all, the spirit of rotrogression seized ali that part of the avenue uudostroyed ; #0tha: to-dsy thera is oniy a dreary line of laun- iries, haberdasheries, cigar shops, and boarding- houses left to hold sway in the once aristocratic residences of that thoroughfare, If some later Brron, standing amid the ruins of the old Post- Dffice, shomld chapt a lament for tho departod Flories of the avenue, it is to ba hoped that he will nos forget the havoc that hsa been caased by desertion no iess than by fire. - The week bas been unnsually lively, 88 might : expected. Prominent among the events was a FIRST REGIMENT RECEPTION. Withoat doubt the ball given by the members of the First Regiment of the Illinois State Goards at thie Grand Pacific, Thuraday eveiog, w1, numerically considered, one of the grandest affairs that bas ever taken place in thecity. No Isss thian 1,400 people wera gatlered togetherin the corridors and parlors of the hotel. and, as a natural consequence, there was a little more trush than comfort. 1t was uofortunate that the dining-hall happened to be undergoing re- pairs at the time, elss thero would have beeo mple room forall. Notwithstanding the die- Mvantages, however, nnder which the large ompany labored, the affair passed off very suc- tessfally. It was fully descrived in~ Tae sk of Friduy. THE CHAEITY PARTY. . The sals of tickets for tue grand charity party, 30 much taltod of, to be given at the Grand Paaific Hotel to-morrow evening, for the benofit of the Woman's Hospital of the State of Ilunois, has alresdy reached s figure which 1usuces far it 3 success 2s regards numbers; and there can be 20 doubt thst it will also be a success in all other respects. One generous gentleman has paid §100 for his ticket. There are fifteen capable and epergetic lndies on the Committee of Ar- nngements, The Reception Committes consista of five,—Mrs. Louis Wahi, Mra.

THE WATER-WORKS PUMPING ENGINES. 7o the Editor of The Chicago Tribuns 2 CmicaGo, Feb. 26.—A littls more than a year ago & Board of Engineers investigated and re- ported upon the capacity, duty, and efficiency of the Chicago Water-Works engines. In toat rée- port, page 22, occurs this statemont : Tt has been generally sdmitted that toe aftainment of ahigh duty was not Apecially nimed at in the con- struction of thiese cngines, and the fmpression among engineers acquainted with the Chicago Water-Works, 30 7ar 58 vonr Committes are informed upon tho sub- Joct, is, that tho principal object bad 1n view in the do- sign of them was to provide s retishls pumping ms- Cine; conaequently it is not surprising that the duty attained i3 not an excoptionally high one. Tho capac~ ity of the machine being about double that of sny ‘previously constructed would naturally tend or cause the designer toaim s¢ success rather than ecozomy. This statoment was made s little more than one ghort year ago, What are the facta to-day ? Two Knowles pumps arc being put into the Water-Warks to sapply or aid in supplyiog our city with water ; while * theso engines whose designer's principal object was to provido o re- liablo pumping engne ™ are being repeired. The point I wish to raisoia: Are these engines swell copstructed, or, more properly, is the prin- ciplo & correct one on which the eqf structod and worked ?

A careful exami- nation of all,the visiblo portions of the engins whila doing this mazimum duty disclosed no_defect in strength that gavo any reason for apprehending troublo in the futare, The examiuation, however, seemed to discloss the fact that the weaker portion of the machine was in the column supports of the beams, 18 not this just what might be expected ? Tho 278-horae power was being dissipated and used upin tearing the engine to pieces, and e now gee with what good offect—if good caa b used in this connection—it certainly was doing, has done, and will continue to do its work, unless & bettor use of this wasted power can be made. But consider fora_moment the scatement that these engines are doing a8 well as two-thirds the Jarger pumping-engines in the country. Csn this be 603 Are we so far behind our English cot:ins that we cannot build s $6,000,000-gellon pumping-eogine that will last' threo years, while they boild engines of equal or greator eapacity thas have been running thirty years, are 1n zood order now, and are giving a duty of 105,000,000, and bid fair to be good engines for thirty years to come? It this statoment is correcs that these broken-down Chicago engines are but s fair sample of two- thirds the Iarge pumping-engines in the country, it would scem that true economy would lead us to amploy the English manufacturers to build our engines. We cannot efford to spend $300,000 and find at the end of three years that wa hayo nothing but » broken-down engine to show for it, Buot this report goes farther. A quotation from psge 24 says : The engines ot the peesent pumping station, with those in procesa of construction for the pumping sta- tion in the Weat Division, when all completed and fu operation, will not, in the opiuion of the Committee, be amply suflicsent for the needs of the city under alf contingencies, In our opinion, the mmediato con- struction and ercction of a third palr of engines, of equal capacity with either tho south engines or the proposed West Division engines, 1s au absolute Decessity, if the water supply of ' Chicago is to be bronght £ 8 stato of officiency and amplitude com- ‘parable with the supplics in citles having large raser- Voirs, always providing, however, that the present r=ta of water consumption in Chicago is not attended by needless or unavoldable waste, ‘The plain inforence from this must be that, it wo caunot safely get along without thres en- gines equal in eflicioncy to the sonth engines, waare nowin & very unsafe condition, _ And this L consider to bo empbatically true.

Would it not be well for the city to employ some competent engineer from the East—such can be found—to examine the en- ginea carefally to ses if they are capsble of being changed #0 a# to avoid the heavy stresa upon them?

Tu view of these facts, does not this extract, taken from the Cuizens' report, ‘‘that the ca- pacity of the machine being about doubla thatof sny previously constructed, would natarally tend or cause the desigoer to aum at succeas rather than econowmy,” read like & buge joke.

The men who traly represent the solid mer- cantile character snd growth of Chicago are not inclmed to overstate the extent and emccess of their business, for, to slow, plodding outsiders, the truth often Eeems like exaggeration. And this is eminently true of the popular clothing house of CLEMENT & SAYEE, Nos. 284 and 286 Milwaukeg avonue, who, whilo politicians have been puzzling their brains over the currency question, have enccesstully estab- lished the fact that greenbacks will purchase ‘more gds at their store than can be boaght for gold disewhere. The history of thia firm seems like a romance, and shows the marvelons changes a few years of bosiness life can effect in Chiczgo. Six yoars ugo they began business here in & amall wcore, with oue floor, on the ope- prico, cash principle, snd hsve uniformly ad- Rored to it. The first day they sold only ons gar~ ment for 2.75; the secand day & suit of clothes for §18, and these first castomers conuuue to buy of them, as do almost all persons who once begin to trade with them.

Inall the principsl cities of the conntry the rates of insurance are largely controlled by the local companies, which, by carefully selectiog risks, are enabled 1o make money at tates which prove ruinous to companies which sccopt risks withoat the same scratiny; snd probably toe principal reason why we in Chicsgo are forced to pay higher rates than the same class of risks are insured for in other cities with inferior facilities for oxtinguishing fires is becanse there are so fow local companies here. We wish to call at- tention, however, to one local company that is in every way worthy of public confdence, sod whose rates sre moderate. We refer to the Globe, 110 LaSalle street, orzanized in 1871, end which has paid aince that time nexrly #850,000 for losses. 1t is the anly local company that paid all its lossea by the great fires of 1871 508 1374 in fall and withost delay, - Iis record1a ooe that sny insurance company might feel proad of.
