Prestding.Elder Mitebell and a Religions Revivale The *‘Repabliean’s ® Praer, For The Tribune. Often, during the past summner, I have revert- cd to the good old days of yore; tothe acqualnt- ances of those golden happy days of 1833-'40, when a restidence of one winter fu Chicago was sufliciont to make one acquainted with nearly everybody of any account. In the first year nbove alluded to, I had heen sailing & toprall schooner of 550 tons burden; quite a large ves- sel In those days, though sho would pass for nothing but a small lumber-droger now. I lald my vessel up in Chicazo late In the fall; and there was vothing to do hut to cnjoy myself, and spend the hard-carned wages of the sum- mer fu the winter-dissipations whichwere enter- edinto by nearly all of the **lakers," as well ns by the more_refined fnhabitauts of the city in those early days. THR LAKE HOUSE, was tho first really grand hotel of those times; and I boarded there for o short time, rooming with that glorlous Fuml fetlow and accomplish- cd physieian, Dr, John J. Stuart, Who that eyer knew him but Joved him? ITe was a model of a man physieally, with a countenance that plainly indicated a warm and loving heart, and a deep sympathy with suffer- Ing humanity, Long since he went to his rest; and I know of many of his unostentatious acts of benevolenca that T am sure were found to his eredit when the fashions and tho follles of this world had passed awny. Requiescat in ace. 4 I rememUer perfectly well how the old farmers from “ Indeayna '’ and the Rock-River border, used to bring their wives and daughters, nnd their long, lean, lauky sons, up to thie city to gaze upon its wonders, and primarily to sce tho * Big lotel.” Ike Coul, n notability of those days, kept THE “RIALTO," which was the “ Tattersulls™ and Delmonico’s of those times; and there gathered, almost every morning, some men who would have inméu their mark fu any community or inany and. There wos that glorious representative of “ould Ircland," the genlal, witty, whole-souled Dr. Egan; the counterpart of hin, the fat and happy (exmrt when Stunrt beat him at billiards) Dr. Maxwell; and now and then the wonderful Dr, Dyer,—the only oue of the two now stand- ing on the hither side of the dark and flowing nyer, Dr. Dyer was then buslly engaged fn the work of Freedom, running the flying fugitives from Bouthern slavery to Impllflucu and liberty by his * Underground Railroad,” e was oftén seen I close and carne nverse with the colored barbers of the town; though very few of us imagined then the Importance of his work, Still he wus bitterly denounced by mearly all the whites, aud I have heard many” such rémarks as these: *Thero goes the d—d nlzger, Dr, Dyer!™ “Don't speak to thet d—d white nigger, Dr, Dyer!" cte, ete.y—aa nauscam, Whio, then, of oll that denunciatory crowd, fnagined for nmo- ment that_the Doctor was hut the plongor of that grand work of human _emancipatiun that was only to be perfected by the olood of thousands of our countrymen; and what onc of his early maligners but would gludly shake his land to-day ns one of the true benefactors of lis sgal Imet him the other dnf, in front of the Palmor Ilouse, and he readily recognized me, though luu‘g Fm“ of world-wide roamfug hind intervened stnce 1 only knew him ns that " d—l nigger, D, Dyer.” He too, has traveled since tuens and, though on the down-hill of life, Inin told that his indomitable pluck and his unappronchable manner of story-telllng arc still as stroug ond freshas ever. Il funny story about his glass eye (for hohas oue) s worth all tho other witticisms of the day. 1 began this nrticle with the idea of relating some perhaps nigh-forpotten data of the early saflors of the Lakes. [do think that, after long years of travel und sojourn fu distant and for- eign lands, these inland waters brought Into sallor-service a class of men without paraltel as to bravery, magnanimity, and real satlor accom- plishments.
