As to the Festival orchestra, the Cincinnati Gazette says: During Mr. Thomas’ visit. to New York next week and the week ‘after, he will organize tho orchestra for our Muy Festival. His scheme is already matured, but the choice of men requires his personal attention, and this 1s facilitated by his work: in connection with the art concerts of Philbarmonte Societies, and tho fact that the departure of Col. Mapleson_ within a short time will leave the best musteians in New York at liberty, The orchestra, as plinned,will be a mag- nificent organization,—by ull odds the finest that has ever been gathered together in this country. There will be twenty-six first violins, twenty six seconds, and the remaining strings in pro- ortion, 80 that the string chuir alone will num- Berio.’ Think of the inanificent volume of tone which this number of picked artists will give out, and how they will buoy up and inspire the..chorus!. The promise of the three, sym- honies, Schumann's in D minor, Mozurt’s- Jupiter. and Beethoven's Fifth. from such band, is alone sutticient to stamp the next festi- yal ag. a magnificent advance on its predecessors. Mr. Thomas, too, has secured four barpists, who will furnish'a factor that hitherto has been in- adequately represented. Their influence will be felt in the selection from Wagner's “Gotter- dinnmerung.” One hundred of the musicians will come from New York. LOCAL MISCELLANY. Mrs. Kempton’s pyipiis will give a soirée musicale at her residence on next Thursday evening, Mine. Rive-King played in Boston on the 3d and 5tirand in Providence, R. I., on the 4th, at both places with great success. Mr. Towlins has secured the English translation of ‘“ Berlioz’s “Damnation of Faust,” and has this very important work in preparation for rehearsal. The Mendelssohn Club of: Wyde Park will give Mendélssohn’s oratorio of “St. Paul” to-morrow evening ‘at Flood’s Ifall, the prin- . cipal parts being assigned to Miss Root, Miss Cornell, Miss Wilson, Mr. Frank Loot, and A.

The excellent reputation this Club has gained for part singing and_the attrac- tions offered by the assistance of Mrs. O. K. Johnson, contralto, and Mine.

Carleton, baritone, and W. Conly, basso, are the only two en- gagginents settled thus far for the Strakosch & Hess nglish opera company for in. The question of prima donna, divided between Kelloge, Uauck, a Ktozé. If a manager wants divis- ions and dissonances that would make his hair stand up, let him take all three. Mr. J. Maurice Hubbard, the well-known musician of this city, has-nearly completed. al cantata, which, we understand, will be brought out shortly by the Beethoven Society. The text is an anonymous poem, “The Fisherman’s Grave.” which first ap- peared on the Dublin Uninersity Magazine, and the music is set for tenor and contralto solos, quartet solo: and chorus, and fuli or- chestra, .

On the 15th inst., Miss Owen, the soprano of the Plymouth Congregational Church in this city, will have a benefit in Milwaukee, at which Mine. Rice will also play, which will give the public of that city the opportunity to hear this exeel- lent artist. ‘The testimonial concert by the old citizens of Chicago to Mr. Nathan Dye will take place on the 19th inst. at the Central Musicdiall, and ought to result in a substantial benefitto the old veteran, who for more than thirty years has taught music in our midst. Upon this interesting occasion Mr; Dye will have the assistance of Mrs. Clara D. Stacy, Mrs. J. A. Farwell, Mrs. O. K. Johnson, Mr. W. C. Coffin, Mr. J. G. Lumbard, Air, Christian Ba- lathe, Mr. F.

The subscription price is but 50 cents a month. 4 . The sixteenth chamber concert of what, fora ‘of 2 distinctive title, we may call the Lewis serics, was given last Thursday at Fairbank Hall, the program including the Beethoven trio, op. 1, No. 2 (Miss Ingersoll and Messrs. Lewis and Eichheim); Romance from Wieniawski’s Second Concerto (fr. Lewis) ; Fesca’s “* Barcarole” (Miss Ingersoll and Messrs.

On Thursday evening last the pupils of the Chicago Musical College gave a soirée mu- sicale, under Dr. ¥. Ziegfeld’s direction, at No. 44 Loomis street. The parlors of the ‘West Side College were completely thronged with an enthusiastic audience, conrposed of the friends of the College and the pupils. The program was rich and varied, and affor ed the amateurs excellent scope for the dis- play of their fine abilities. A degree of talent was displayed by all that speaks well for the future of the pupils, while their ac- complishments were such as to reflect credit upon Dr. Ziegfeld and his thorough corps of assistants. The concert given last Thursday_evening at Fairbank Wall by the pupils of N. Ledo- chowski and James Gill was a very enjoyable entertainment. The program, an excellent one, included among other numbers the Liszt Polonaise in E, the G minor Concerto of Mendelssohn, the Chopin Ballade in G@ minor, the “ Shadow Song” from ‘ Dinorah,” and an aria from “Elijal.” The instrumental numbers were played by Miss Dollie Atwood, Ars. A. C. Knapp, Miss Marie Haag, and the Misses P. Liberman, C. Clark, M. Prindiville, and E. Busby. ‘The vocal selections were given by Mrs. Stewart, the Misses C. Han- cock, Alice Wilder, Eva. Adams, and Messrs. Dawson and James Gill. MR. MAPLESON’S PLANS. At the recent benefit given to Mr, Mapleson in New York he was called before the cur- tain, and, in his reply to the eall, said: Yam happy to state that my arrangements with the Directors as to the future have been settled to our inutuai satisfaction, and will be made known in due course. T huve retngaged for next scuson all the most favorit artists, in- cluding Signor Campanini, Signor Galassi, ‘and others, not forgetting my celebrated chief, Ar- diti. Ihave this moment received a enable from Mme. Gerster (who desires to be remembered to allof you) informing me of her acceptance of the contract for next season.. I have alrendy signed Mile. Christine Nilsson’s contracts and re- tured them to her. MUSICAL MISCELLANY. Campanini is spoken of as the Faust for the next representation of Berlioz’s “ Damn- nation of Faust? in New York. Lecoq’s new opera, whicly is to open the coming season at the Renaissance, will be entitled “ Le Marquis de Windsor.” M. Alexandre Guilmant, one of the ‘first of French organists, has just completed a “symphony-cantata,” called “ Ariane.” ‘At the next concert of the Cecilia Club, to be given at Boston Music-Hall April 12, Schumann’s music to “ Manfred” will be finished her engagement ew York, having to appear shortly in London with Mr. Gye’s company, which opens earlier than Mr. Mapleson’s. W. A. Croflurt and Dudley Buck have about finished their new, comic opera. It deals with Mormons and fae United States army, and is said to be satizically pointed. Wagner is looking remarkably well, ac- cording to Miss Minnie Hauk, and finds that the air of Naples, where he has been spend- ing tne winter, has done him a world of O0U. The report that Miss Blanche Davenport has given up, or suspended, her operatic career is contradicted. She has left the Strakosch company, and is about going abroad, to sing at Naples and Milan. The report that Rubinstein’s “Nero” was tobe given at Covent Garden,,during the coming season has been contradicted. It seems that there is nothing for the soprano to sing, and the plot is quite too full of ar- sons and assasinations to suit the British palate. Pet : ‘The celebrated tenor Fra Giovanni Papa, of the Franciscan Order. whose singing in the. Lateran and other. choirs has these list two years been so great an attraction to strangers visiting Rome, died on the 19th wt. in the Convent of AraCali, after a short illness. A manuscript violin concerto, by Herman “"Guétz, composer of the “Taming of the Shrew,” was performed for the first time in Hngland at a Crystal Palace, concert a few weeks ago. It is spoken of as melodious, symmetrical, and well orchestrated, but not ainbitious, Gounod is very busy correcting and in part rewriting “ La Tribut de Zamorra,” which is to be the great event next year at the Paris Opera, eis also engaged in finishing an opera begun long ago, * Héloise et Abelard,” and has in_ccstemplation a grand opera, “Henry VILL,” of which M. Detroyat has written the libretto. Dr. Frederick Louis Ritter, Vassar Col- lege, Poughkeepsie, N. Y., has made ar- rangements with the firm of Edward Schu- -berth & Co., New York, to prepare anEn- glish edition of Schuberth’s Musical Dic- tionary. Musicians are requested to send in- formation regarding themselves and their labors to Dr. Ritter. The monument to Chopin in St, Cross Church, Warsaw, was unveiled on the. 6th ult. The bust of the composer is in white marble, and is the work of Leonard Marconi, a Warsaw sculptor, The inser! m_is as follows: “Frederick Chopin $ Polish, Szopen), from his countrymen. Born March 2, 1809, in Zelazona Wola} died in Paris Oct. i, ssh, Under the. monument is interred Chopin’s heart, exhumed from Pére Lachaise, ‘A. religious service was held, at which some of his relatives were present. M. Wilhelnj is rather indefinit and a little unpleasant in his opinion of the American inusical public. 'To the question of what he thought of it, put by the San Francisco Chronicle, he replied: “ Well, that is a long question to answer. I would merely say that bad teachers are responsible for bad taste. ‘You should hold teachers accountable as we lo, and treat music as one of the arts, not as an accomplishment for young girls, There is always more or less tendency to misunder- stand the artist, but he must never cease to Yespect his art.” NEW MUSIC.

The it Sprague case has at last found a tribunal before whieh it can be heard, Judge ‘Potter, of the Rhode Island Supreme Court, having aualited after onsiderubie efforts, He was trustee of some estates which Included Sprague paper, and his brother held stock in several Providence. bunks that were interested in the flouting notes of the once fumous house. ‘The creditors of the Sprague estate now pro- pose to test the validity of Mr. Z. Chateo’s title as tho trustee of the urge property. which rep- resents, Dear a valuo of $10,000,000. The cu- fire affair is somewhat tesque in its huge confusion. The nominal owners of tho estate have formerly treated it as @family concern, and no one knows what proportion, if any, may belong to the various members of the fami’ The creditors, on the other hand, are in- dignant that for years they have recelyed no dividends, no interest, and no account such as thoy think thomselves entitled to. Mr. Chafee, the trustee, meanwhile has administered the estate to suit himself. He has paid very little attention to the brothers Sprague, and be appa- rently believes in the principle that possession is nine points of. the law. He has once or twice been asked to resign his position ns trustee, but calmly answered that he could not very well entertain such a proposition. Nor had any court thus far succeeded in. Taaking. tho slightest impression upon this confusion. {tis certainly strange that n caso of insolvency involving many millions of dollars has so far baffled the law, the courts, and the creditors. The history of tho rise and fali of the Rhode Island Spragues will ultimately muke 2 very curious chupter in the causes celébres of the country. THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. “Render Unto Cresar,”? Etc. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. Cnicaqo, Aprii 10.—We inserted in Tay Trrp- UNE and Times of this city, last Sunday’s issue, an advertisement similarly worded in both cascs. We received twonty replies through THE TRIB- UNE, and five through the Times. BR Scarlot-Fever Preventives. ‘To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. Curcaqo, April 10.—Will you publish tho fol- lowing: An eminent physician says he will cure ninety-nine out of every hundred cases of scar let fever by giving the patient warm lemonade, with gree arabs dissolved in ft. A cloth wrung outof hot water and ‘placed on the stomuch should be removed us rapidly as it becomes cool, For prevention of contugion of scarlet fever, four or five drops of carbolic acid, dissolved in half a pint of water, a teaspoonful to be en three or four times # day, hus been recommend- ed. A competent physiefiin should be consulted Defore taking these remedies, a3 the writer knows nothing of their efficacy. RL. Presbyterian Theological Seminary. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune, Crtcaco, Apri 10.—Three of the Professors of this Seminary have been requested to resign. The reason assigned is, that the income of the Seminary is inadequate to pay them. Were they asked whether they would consent to tuke what tho Seminary is ablo to pay? The Professors of the Congregational Seminary remained on less income than tho Presbyterian is able to pay, and iustend of diminishing its Faculty it added to it.

Denver, Col:, to better their fiuancial condition:.. In all departments of business the supply of help exceeds the demand ten to one;. the necessaries of life are one-third higher than in the East, house rents alarmingly 80,—a furnished housg of three rooms com- manding £60 per month, single rooms $25 and $30. Hundreds of people arrive daily with no idea of the conditions they ure obliged to sub- Ject themselves to. Many land here with no money, among strangers, terribly, deceived by the statements of those who induced them to come here. Those who are fortunate enough to secure a chance to tirjve a street-cur, work on a tarm, dig in the ditches, receive such small wages and pay so much for groceries, provisions, and room rent that it:is but a starvation life. If the tide of immigration continues the poor deluded victims wil need to bring tents and lead a camp life. Sooner or later lawlesness must follow this state of things.

The Channing Celebration. To thé Editar of The Chicago Tribune, CnrcaGo, April 8.—It is to be regretted that no Presbyterian divine took part in the great meeting: in Central Hall last evening, and that no notice was. taken of Channing's work in bringing Protestantism back to the old Reforma- tion standards, when preachers were statesmen, when religiun was the motive power of political action,and men were held responsible to Divine authority for their action at the council board, orin the iegislative hall as much as for their forms of Sunday service. Channing in his own fe revived the old iden of the Rev. John Ren- wick, one of Scotland's martyrs, who, when he lay in Edinburg jail under sentence of death, was importuned by his friends to conform and live.” They said, while weeping around bi “Dinna ye think that we, who ha’ con tormit, can be saved?” “Oh yes!:Oh yes! God forbid that I should limit Tis grace!” “Dinna yo think that you could be saved if ye should conform?" “Oh, yes; oh, yes. For the blood of Christ, eleunscth from ull sin!" Then whxt muir do ye wanf than the salva- tion o" your soul?” a, honor my “Mair! <Mickel mair! I want Master dnd bear witness to the truth! In this spirit he died, on the scaffold, and that spirit waa crystallized by tho Westminster di- vines, in the Shorter Catechism: “Man's chief end is to glorify God.” Aftcr this comes the clause, “* Enjoy Him forever!” é Protestants in general had fallen away from this grand old hero-muking creed, and sunk down {ato a self-secking, soul-saying slum, where men crawl and grovel in crime as worms of the dust, and crawl into Heaven on a dead- head ticket, without ever having felt a2 noble impulse, and where they ure to contemplate themselves as incapable of any nobility, and their efforts are paralyzed by » profound muperism. From this slough thoy are to crawl, yy neubalistic faith, and sit down on thrones, and the nastier they are tho brihter-the throne prepared for them. Channing came to lift them out of this volun- tary self-nhagement and set them upon the rock of ‘the old Scottish reformers, to stand beside Renwick, honor the Master und bear witness to the truth; to rule the world by the divine right of rectitude! It is quite time the descendants of Jobn Knox wero ready to recognize the s ice rendered to the cause of Christianity by this statesman, who promulgated, from_the pulpit, the policy which should govern the State,—who stood for Christ's crown and kingdom asa moral ruler of the world when the General Assembly Assembly was indorsing slavery and stultifying the record of the Church it misrepresented. The bearing out of this idea of his work of a restorer of tho old faith, and the representing him asa discover, x pioneer, was a blemish on the proceedings. There was also one othersense in which the mecting thought right. Tt has come to be pretty generally understood it “Lives of great men all remind us We may make our lives sublime!” but most people spend time in vain longings, while golden opportunities steal awuy like the Arabs. What sublimity the managers might have reached by regurding their_advertisement ag 2 contract with the public, and one they were ound in equity to observe to the letter. How sublime it would have been in those speakers who have not yet achieved greatness, if each one bad brought his hot thought, in 2 carefully prepared muniscript, confined himself to the Rubicetussiened bimand stopped when his fifteen mipates hud exnired! And oh, think of the sublime hight to which a choir might have risen by assuming that its performance was not the object of the meeting. f that meeting had begun at the time adver- tised und ended before one-third or one-half the audience were driven off by weariness, it might have inaugurated 2 new éra and started a uew crop of great men. As it now is, the public have no rights which manzgers ure bound torespect. Bpenkers, on pretext of tniking a few moments on some one subject, get before un audience forthwith, proud to strike un attitude and harangue it for an in- definit period, on some totally irrelevant matter. ‘Those who sat it out to hear Mr. Horford’s excellent address have reason to thank him for saying there is 2 10-cent pamphlet which gives relinble information. on Channing; for. after “Bob Ingersoll” had been dra; in and tlage- lated, and Edward Everett Hale culogized, Chi- eago glorified, and the people pleaded with not to pull down the churches, but to rally and make it a university city, after a large sarplusine of words on many subjects during the short inter- vals between the music, there was little time lett for hearing much about eee Bs even 4 the bundred who staid eo leng they did not reac home until after midnight. JANE GREY SWISSHELM. Chicago Woman’s Christian Associa- tion. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. CHICAGO, April10.—In your issue of Sunday, April 4, an anonymous writer, “J. F. 7." under the head of “ Home for Incurables,” makes some suggestions and untruthful statements which we desire to correct in regard to the bearding- house of the Woman's Christian Association. The writer says that “the bonrding-house isa failure,” a statement which we who know best emphatically deny. He says truly that “it was experimental"? it is also true that such experi- ments nover become at once self-sustaining or pecuniarily profitable. “J. F. 1.” says that “the deficits at the boarding-house have all been paid by charitable contributions.” Let the complete refutation of this be the record of the $1,830 “Carnival” fund for which the lady managers gare, so unstintedly their time, strength, and t enaeavor. This enemy also says that "there aro no working-girls in the Home.” Whether this enemy is a rejected boarder ora friend of one we have no means of knowing, but this wo do know, that every person at present in the Home is self-supporting, or fitting to become 60, and several of them have others dependent upon them. “J. ¥F. 1." further says that “it is a fail- ure, because women past the moridiun of life are there, instend of young girls.” Arule requiring that no person over 25 years of a should be admitted was enacted a few weeks since, although it met with opposition from some who knew well the workings of the house, and intimately woll the circumstances of many of the bearders, and whose warm hearts grieved to say to ill-paid, struggling women, “Be- cause you do not nced our Home morally, on ac- count of youth and inexperience, neither shall you have its grently-necded pecuniary bene- fits.” To mect the wants of such aplicunts, the Board has asked through the press for the pro- prietors of Gro eerie bourding-houses to fur- nish to them thelr names and location; and, in order tobe able to vouch for the comfort and respectability of these houses, the ladies expect to devote to it much time and investigation. “J. F. T.” says that “ the Association employs a sal- aried solicitor.” It employed onconty fore short time; three months since her services were dis- pensed with, the ladics themselves volunteering to do the work needed in that direction. The finan- cial exhibit of the boarding-house for the pres- ent year is very greatly improved, and the house very nearly filled, meeting an urgent existing want not met elsewhere. In conclusion, we would say that the Chicago Christian Woman's Association hus in its record of dd necom= pisses: and its unwritten history of shadows ifted from durkened pathways, « showing of which many an older association might be proud. It has given patient investigution te the varied detail of its work, instituted the most Senrebing inquiries alike Into, ita manugemont and usefulness, proved itself ready to make changes and improvements whenever deemed best, and shown itself thoroughly awake and thoroughly in earnest. Therefore, while invit- ing the fullest investigation, and’ being ever reudy to receive suggestions from friends, yet so long as it is managed by as talented, zealous, and devotdd u bund of Christian ladies as it isat tho present time, it regards itself fully capable of administering ‘ite own xffuirs without sug- gestions and unrellable statements from irre- sponsible enemies. = Murs. T. A. Hitt, President, Tlie Paving Puzzic. ‘Tb the Editor of The Chicago Tribune, Cmicaco, April 10.—At a time like the present, when the public mind is all at sca in doubt and quandary over the solution of the paving puz- zle,un astute Park Board sit in dally and nightly session oyer the relative merits of syenite and soupstono a3 a paving material, it behooves every citizen who has given thought and: re~ search to these oecuit problems to offer his re- sults for public consideration. - While public sentiment is in violent conflict as to the most desirable street surface, a compara- tive unanimity of opinion bas been reached to the offect that no style of pavement can be of permanent value that is not laid upon a solid, imperishable foundation. Admitting this prime necessity of an enduring base, opinion divides into partinlity for three very different methods a8 well as materials for such structure. Many people still think that pine boards and plunk aro sutficiently solid and durable for this purpose. Itis easy to comprehend why pine block-heads and cedar sap-heads whose craft consists of triennial contracts to pave the city anew should favor so insecure and perishable a base. But why any disinterested taxpaying citi- zen should favor so transient a material is past alldiyination. But some do. It is cheap to- duy;- dear to-morrow. A two or three inch phink certainly bears up a pavement more evenly than an inch board, but it is asserted by those having experience that a turred bourd will eonnsty tarred plank when planted in moist earth. -A wooden foundation to any kind of paving material lacks every element of permanency and suitability. The great and substantial in- terests of the city-have outgrown all such tem- porary and faulty expedicnts. We must look for something more enduring. The uttention of our citizens is challenged just now by anew device (patent secured) for 2 pav- ing buse named “the fingstone foundation,” which seems to have won same temporary favor, perhaps perinanent. This iden is to lny 4 close- jointed, cemented, water-tight floor of three- inch flagging on n bed of sand, as a base, on which to plant paving-biocks. A small patch or two of this flag foundation is now under trial, and premature certification of its permancut yaluc haye been extracted from some reputable citizens and published to influence public action in its favor. Time and accumulated experience alene will determine its value and defects asa universal foundation. Ascrious sanitary objection to such impervi- ous floor lies in the fact that it will catch and hold all the foul seepage that percolates down from the street surface, there to ferment and rot tho wooden .blocks aud emit its fatal carbonic oxide up into the breuthing resorvoir of the peopic. The scien- Ulfic requirement for a good street would seem to ben closc—if possible, water-tight—top sur- face, with foundation sufficiently open to per- mit the precipitation of all seepage into the dis- infecting earth below. If our patenteo would upset his specifications he would approximate a better street. The cost of the fing foundation,” with 00 cents per superticinl yard for stone, plus haul- ing, fitting, laying, and patent royalty, can hurd- ly be less than $1.25 per yurd of street surface. ‘nen comes the perhaps equal or larger cost of superstructure. But, whatever may be the vir- tues, vices, or cost of this device, its quictus is found in the statement, if true, that the requirc- ments of » five-mile street will exhaust all of the necessible supply of this gradcof stonealong the line ot the canal. ‘This statement fs made on the very best of authority. The third—the oldest, and time-certified ma- terial and method for street and road founda- tion—is that of broken stone. ‘This is at once the chenpest, most solid, serviceable, and enduring material und structure for a street or rondway foundation that hus as yet been devised by man. has the certitication of centuries of exposure and the unznimous testimony of all scientific engincers of all countries and ages, Twolve inches of such approved foundation will cost but 8 cents per yard, will endure to the limit of time, and ought to be satisfactory to all, save only patentecs of inferior and ephemeral de- vices. Upon such & foundation may be securely placed your weuring surfuce of perishable wood, smooth usphalt, or eternally-enduring porphyry, syenite, or granit, as the parties in interest may prefer. * Pro Boso Prsrico.

New Yonx, April 8—By private correspond- ence I discover that my letters to Tae Tripune on the subject of drainaze, so far as they apply to health, are misapprehended. Now,I do not say, nor do I admit,.thet the “odors arising from the Chicago River, however pungent and unpleasant they may be, are materially detri- mental to the public health. It {s true there may be individual instances where, to persons of impaired health and strength, those odors may be injurious. Such persons, however, and in fact healthy people, might also ‘be injured by the pure, cool, and health-zivibg lake winds which often sweep over Chicago in summer, if not prepared for them when they come suddenly. But the danger to public health is to be appre- hended from the contamination of the water- supply by the poisonous sewage which is contained in the river. That sewage does already ' occasionally reach = the crib, and I hoid that it wilt steadily increase in volume until the whole neighborhood about the erib is pervaded by it, unless the-outtlow is ar- rested; and it enn only be arrested by inducing ® constant inflow from the lake into and through the river. This would accomplish the essentiul of preserving the water-supply uncontami- nated, and the non-cssential—so Speak—of purifying the river. Were the luke a sweeping and constant enr- rent passing the city toward the north, the Failerton-avenue conduit would mensurably ac- complish the obiect.by drawing a current, be } the tween tho piers and forcing the foul water to the northward, beyond the reach of the crib, through that conduit.’ But there is no current inthe lake. Whichever way the river water is foreed by those pumping-works into the like, whether from botween the piers or through as conduir, it must still, ‘iecording to varying winds, reach the crib, and thus return tho po oo to the city. In fact, the process will probably hasten the attainment of that end. Honce in this changing process, so far ns the interests of the city are concarned, it matters not whether tho rock strikes the pitcher, or the pitcherstrikes the rock, it goes ill with the pitcher. Therefore the only possible way out of the difficulty is a conduit to the Desplaines River, below Jolict. This I broposed three years ago in ‘THE TRIB- UNE, and I have scen nothing ice to change the opinion: Suppose acanal were constructed that would bring ut Blississippt steamer to Chicago. Such a canal would serve no better purpose for drain- uge than the present canal. The idea of a navig- able canal is to maintain the water therein at alevel. Thisisaccomplished by means of iocks, the gates of which are, to all intents and pur- poses, except for pecsing boats, 2 permanent dam.’ To open the locks and Ict the water flow would put an end to navigation. Why, there is nfall between Lockport and Jolict of nearly fifty feet. Without locks, steamboats could as easily ascend the Falls of St. Anthony as there. And with locks there could be no adequate drainage,—that is, no more than with the resent canal. And now, notwithstanding all it hus been sald about the necessity for umps, and notwithstanding what has been said yy Mr. Thomas about the folly of. attempeing. to get Chicago River wuter through the canal, I assert that if tho water is permitted to tow at Lockport to the utmost that is consistent with tho passage of boats, allowing that navigation is slightly inconvenienced thereby, that a meas- urable and temporarily sufficient | drainage would be effected. For the water that thus es- capes, be it more or less, must be replaced from the river, and that must again be replaced from the lake; and thus the flow into the Iake would be checked, if not wholly arrested. Now, if Mr. Thomas, or any other engineer, will explnin away this displace- ment of river water by the escape through the gates, nnd its replacement from the lake. it will be interesting scientific Information. Of course, the effort would require care and peatcaing: While northerly winds prevail and the Inke high the flow can be increased, and while south- erly winds prevail the flow can be checked or stopped entirely. ~ : thus a strong current is created, steam-tug towing may, take the place of mules, and the difference in cost, if increased, may be made up tothe canalers by the city. This cost will be slight as compared with that of a lock and pumping-works at Bridgeport. And in the use of pumps there must be a current all the same; and it would be equally interesting scientific information to know how to get wuter from the Chicago River to Lockport, whether with pump or otherwise, without creating a current. But ns tho good German Justice remarked, Nothing is impossible mit God, the man may have bit his, own nose off. If the mills at Lockport have a valid contract that a given head of water shall be maintained in the canal for their benefit, let the contract be bought up, or Ict it be declared void, as in con- trayention of-the vested rights of the city inthe canal, or as against public policy. ‘To construct and operute pumping-works for no other object thun to maintain n head of water for the Lock- port millers would be like some of the Quarter- cae operations that I saw at theSouth during e War. Had the water been permitted to run during the winter instead of holding it for no other ap- parent reason than for milling purposes, there would have been a constant stream pure water coursing through the city, besides wash- ing out tho of the canal, and thus benetiting navigation. That the water was thus held was an outrage. And now, should the canal authori- ties fail to codperate in such an endeavor, or should they oppose it, it will be a wanton and tnexensable neglect and disregard of the heaith, comfort, and well being of the half million in- habitants of Chicago. J. M. HANNABS. ‘The Boulevards. ‘To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune, Cutcaco, April 10.—It seems to be time for the Park Commissioners of Lincoln Park and the west parks to pay a littie more attention to the completion of the boulevards connecting the purks, and iet the work on the parks rest for a while. Enough has been done in the Parks to satisfy everybody; and if for next two years nothing was done except to keep the present completed park grounds in order, and only.to make such im- provements as may be necessary for that put- pose, the Commissioners would find that the people would appreciate their action. The West Chicugo Park Commissioners have, 2s I under- stand, resolved to connect Central Park with Douglas Park, as they lust year connected Hum- boldt Park with Centra Park, and the people applaud their action; but would it not seem wise to immediately complete the boulevard from Douglas Park to connect with the . Western venue boulevard? And would it not be equally as wise for the Lincoln Park Commissioners to begin the connection of that park with Hum- boldt Park? If Iam not mistaken Hoy have not ‘or this even secured the groun connecting link from the park to the Chicago River, end should. at least do that much. The idea to connect all our pirks wtth elegant drives is such a grand one that it ought to be carried out at once, especial- ly now that cach park bus something to show up that is worth seoinz. No city has such a sys- tem of parks and boulevards, and the sooner we complete the whole system’ the sooner will we have another great attraction forstrangers, and People who have contributed their share of the Immense amounts used for park purposes for the last twelve or fourteen years will at least have the satisfaction to see the beginning of the completion of the great work before they die. Tam not quite certain that the West Park rd have secured the grounds south of Douglis Park, but if they have not they ought to doit atonce. I am no land owner in either locality, neither west of Lincoln Park nor south of Dou; Park, and bave no ax to grind, but simply express the wishes of large numbers of our tax- payers. In my opinion, the’ South Park Com- missioners did the right thing in at least finish- ing one rond-bed on all their boulevards. The North and West Park Boards ought to do like- wise,twithout deluy, and before they break’a foot of new ground in any of the parks. Having once struck the eubject of parks, the question occurs to me, What is to become of Union Park? Tt was once a safe resort of women and children; - put since some of our City Fathers got it in their wise heads that the fence must be removed it is open from all sides to runaway horses, and it bas happened amore than onee that runaway teams scared the women and caildren out of their wits, and enme very near injuring some of the children. Whoever proposed and carried through the tak- ing downof the fence inclosing Union Park without providing for a new stone and iron fence (if the old fence was not good enough) deserves aleather medul, and ought to have it, Tf the city cannot afford to take such care of Union Park as to make it 2 place where women and children may breathe without endangering life and limb, let the ground be sold, and the money used to pay debts, Union Park ought to be pro- vided with a fence, and no driving allowed through it, as itis altogether too small; or.the poe should be turned over to tho West ark Commissioners, and, if they — lead the Washington street boulevard through it, both sides of the drive should be provided with fences, although this would actually cut the purk in two. ‘The people who haye enjoyed their Sunday afternoons in Union Park when the old fence was still there and all the gates closed would like to sce the beautiful tittle purk made as siife a place as it used to be, and there is no reason why this should not be dove. Tne Trrb- UNE is doing a good thing in advocating- the paving of streets and alleys in whole sections of the city at one time, and Will be entitled tothe thanks of every taxpayer if it will, with tho same energy, ndvocute the final completion of our grand and beuutiful boulevard system.
