In a moment, aa if by enchantment, the prosaic West meits into thin air aod vaoishes. With it vanishes those Western abominations,—stove- plpe bats, thirteco-and-sixpenny trowers, shoddy tourist suits, and generallyall thatdistinguishes the clvilized European from hismore simule and pieturesque brethern of tho East. At cvery turn you come upon atrange forms and hesr strapge sounds, such as wo bave often heard of in travelers' tales, but pever Lknown til now. The anclent civilizations of Chiva ond Arabia live and flour- 1sh before us, Here may bo scen the wore bar- parous forms of modern Egvpt and Persia, yaloly aplng the West, while elinging tanacious- 1r to tho old traditions of 4,000 years.

The front has three, of which the highest rises some eighty or uloety feet, and is surmounted Ly the usual tiny spire with thrce golden balls, Below the middle tower Is a Mauresque gateway, shaped like n polnted horseshoe, aud beautifully adorned by a baud of mosaie, blue, yellow, and red, but chiely light-blue, which controsts booplly with tho gleaming-white walls of tho towers, You pass through this gateway up some steps into a square Moorish court or ante-ruow, with four claborate Maur- esque doorways, and o lofty glass dome, tinted light-blue, and slmost hidden by exquisite white tracery in troot of it. Tho walls of the court aro pink,~the plok of a dellcate blush- ruse,—crossed and recrossed by elaborate white moldings tn rvelief.

TYesterday afterncon at 4 o'clock 8 number of large property-holders met n a gort of infor- mal session in the Palner Iouse elnb-room for the purposo of discussing the present proposed hich real-catato asscasment on the Bouth Eide, Amoug those present wera Judie L. B, Otls, LI B, Wiltiams, Isaac N. Arnold, Robert Law, Joel Walters, E. K. Rogers, Malcolm McNell, Eugene 8. Pike, Milton Palmer, E. 8. 1iurluut, Fordl L.

Upon taking the thalr, Judzo Otls stated the object of the meeting, as hie understood it, to ba tu take into conelderation the proposed enormous fncreascd asscasinent property in the Bouth Town bythe present Asseseor, now making the asscesment. That there was reason tolielleve, from {informatlon recetved from different sources, that the increase will be from 100 to B00 per cent on the former vatuation, and that, 80 fur a8 known, ncitl-r e North ‘Town nor West "Lown Assessors, nor any other Town Asgessor In Cook County, was inaking any tn- cresse whatever, but fu somno cases they were actunlly reducing former mssessments. That tho Assessor of South Chicago clalimed be was going to put Lho proverty at sh value, and that the other Assessors’ had ngreed to do the samej and if this wers earried out there would be no fncrease in thu amount of taxation. But they hau no goaranted that the Asscesnr of South Chicagowould have any Intluence boyona his own territory to haveother Assessors enuul- 1y ralsc property hnruml the present valuaiions, He hiad lieard that tho northweat corner of State and Madison streets, known as the Dore Block, had been assessed or was propused tu be amssesscd at $1,50 per front fuot on 1and by the prescnt Assessor, That the nurth- west corper of Clark and Adawms streets, just sold by Hubert Porter to Marshall Field at about $111,000 or 8112,000, was valued by the Assessor for taxable purposeaat £107,000. There were large tracta alongz State, Madison, Waeh- inglon, LaSulle, aud Dearborn strects which were asacsscd Ju the nelghborhood of 81,000 and upwards per front fout. II this valuution was adhured to and conforined to by the Township and County Boards, and then the State Board of Equalization should do as they had dune for the pnst binif-dozen years,—ralse Cook Couuty property fu the nzeregato by adding from 35 to 00 per cent, and the rate of taxatiou should Le as it bad been for the last three years,—cach twonty-five-foot lot, with a four-tory stone front huilaing ou it, in the districts above re. ferred to, would be taxed fromn $1,600 to 82,300 cacl, which would be practical confiseation sud a goud deal more than some of the vroperty reuted for. M. RODERT LAW zave a statement of several pieces of his own %gpcny swhere the Increnze was from 800 to per cent In tho valuation. One pieee, which was nsscssed last year ot $4,000, was nsscssed this year at $25,000, and several other picces in similar proportion. He also stated that by had Information that both the North and West Tow: Assessors wero reducing last year's asscas. men Mr. fsaoc N, Arnold noxt spoke, Io dls- cussed solely the legal view of the case. For more than thirty$ycars in Ilnols, though the language of the law bad been that tho Asscssor should assess ot o cash value, practico had gottled a uuiform construction which was as much apart of the law ntthe present thne ms 1 printed in the text, that the Assessor discharged Ius duty by assessing property at one-third ot what its owners called it worth, Hedid nut belleve that the present Assessor of South Chicago wus any moro houest or vonscientious than the 10,000 men befors him who hud done assessiug in this Btate for the past, thirty{‘un. Th late Thom- 2s Church and Willlam 8. ii.

If this schewe was currledout, he fearod that there would be such enarmy of tax-ighters ns Chicago had never before seen. It was no time now to make an increased ssscasnient or try nmew cxperiments, He would co-operate with the citizens ot Chicago in most energetie measures to defeat its accomplishment, Mr. Joel Walters stated that he had heard of a number of casos where the asscasinents were perteetly frightful. o bad seen the Assessor of ono or two towns Inthe country (and he named Ezra 8herman, of Riverside, as one), and none of them were {ncreasing the nascssment, axcept tho Assessor of Bouth Chicago.
