The Subject Before the Judiciary Com- mittee. ‘The proposition to sell tho Lake-Front to the Iinols Central Railroad Company was before the Judiciary Committee yesterday, but no action was taken. Mr. Ayer appeared for the Company, and re- viewed the history of the negotiations which had been going on looking to the sale, end read a letter from the Mayor of date June 12, calling attention to the action of the Council of March 29. The Company had replied, offering the city $800,000 for the property if # satisfactory title could be given. The next step, be said, bad been a conference. when it was de- termined, if possible, to get a release from property-holders in the vicinity, which it was subsequently understood would cost about $75,000, which the city was to puy. Some $45,000 of this amount he regarded as legitimate, and pupers had becn drawn uc- knowleuging it, but the dispute yet remained unsettled with one of the property-holders. For the $80,000 the Company had only expected to gain a title to the turee blocks north of Monroe street, and the question of title to pubmenced lands had nor been broached until the day he- fore Thanksgiving, and when it was the whole question was’ cha: Tho next proposition ‘was that the city be paid $700,000, and that. it Should get the reicases from individuals, and, Jurthermore, that it should protect the Company ‘Lo the extent of one-third of the purchuse-money against any vested rightsof the State to any of the property. The final proposition of the Compu- hy, Bowever, was to take the property on the terms of the ordinance presented by it, leaving the question of the submerged lends and any vested rights therein to remain as they wore. ‘lo have agreed tothe Mayor's proposition about the submerged lands would have been to sur- render any rights the Company micht have to about forty acres of land, which was entirely ‘unnecessary and preposterous, especially since they had never contempluted the use of any lands east of the lako shore, and, furthermore, for the reason that the city had no proprictary interest in the land jt proposed to sell, and what- erent ge from the sale would be 50 much gain ‘Lhe President of the road, Mr. Ackerman, fol- Jowed in a brief statement, urging the necessity of the Council acting at once. If itdid not, he said, the releases might be withdrawn. and the Company would have to muke other arrange- ments for the erection of a passenger station. ‘Thomas Hoyne clatmed that the Company had no right or title to the submerred lands, and that the property-owners were in earnest and wanted to see the contemplated improvement made as early as possible. They were convinced that it would be to thcir interest to bnve the depot, and as to the question of submerged jands only asked the Cumpany to waive their supposed rights south of Monroe street Aid. Chirk submitted the following as an armendment to the ordinance, which was read: “The city to quit-cliim all rights ana tide it may haveto the three blocks, by metes and bounds. and to use its best eiforts to secure necessary Icgisiation from Congress, the Itail- rund Company, to pay to tho city a net sum of $750.00) (exving no contingent liability for the city as to defending title). and to quit-claim to the city ull right and ttle it may have to the submerged lands between the north line of Monroe strevt_and Park row, Monroe street to be opened to the water's edye.” Ald. Cullerton said ho bad not read the ordi- nance, whereupou It was read to him, with and ‘without the ameudments. Ald. Sinyth was not satisfied to make any re- port until he had had time to study the ordi- ance, and Ald. Cullerton agreed with bim, ‘Tne Committee then adjourned until 2 o'clock to-morrow. EDUCATIONAL.» Address by George C. Howland. Aepecial meeting of the Chicago Institute of Education wes held yesterday morning in Hershey Music-Hall, for the purpose of listen- ing tojan address by Prof. Howland, Superin- tendent of the Chicago Publle Schools. The house was crowded with an audience 95 per cent of which was ladies, The lecture was on the subject of the moral Getictenees of our puplic-school system. In judging of the morals of our public schools, thoy were bappily not divided by theories of the ab- tract thuughtsof philosophers. The boy was respectful to bis superiors, and the nice balanc- ing of the merits and demerits by tho boys and siris of @ new teacher might put an examining committee to blush, Though the National Commitice bad reported thnt no ;raduate of & High Sctool bad been found in Jaile. yet that was not all Ji all arse docks there mizht he some who were not what they should be. The schools bud never been Pervaced by a purer or more moral atmosphere There was a harmony necessary iu the yovernment of scbuols, but not uf ibe Martincl order, They were not w conform to rules bes of the rules, or obey orders be- cnuse they were orders, as if in a military life. The pupils of a weill-conducted school were all dearning persevonince and industry. ‘The grad- ‘uates of our High Schools could found not in the crowds of the idlers in ealoons, but iu the oounting-rooins, in business, and in many a cultl- vated, Bappy bome. ‘The schonibuy did not believe in preaching or a teacher who preacked. It was uot all of morals te moralize. They bud not attained the pinnacic of moral excellence by any means, The per- sonul character of the right-minded*man ‘and Woran who was teaching cast a vast influence over the children under them. As teachers, they were enguged in the development of chur- acter and munner, and their ditily conduct was imperceptibly tucuicated into the children. In the manugement and discipline of the schools the abolition of corporal punishment had been a forward movement, Afterull, it was but tho excrcise of brute furee.

The power of the teacher ehould not so beyond the schoal-room. ‘The guildren should he interested in the schools. ‘The schools should be made pleasant, ad the scbool-days nut be made irksome, and if 2 child Tolesed uw day at school it should feel that it bad missod a day of _ pleasure.

Although money, which was the chief factorof speculition, grew cheaper, and was offered at the close at J per cent, stocks did not Improve. At the last, after a day of undisguised feverish- ness, the market was weak and depressed. For- eigu exchange, too, did not reflect any certain c2se, as it was lower and depressed in the final dculings. Loans were in strong demand in’Chi- cago, but the country orders fur currency were not so heavy, and tkere was consequently a diminution in the drain of gold tw the country that may be soon felt —bene- Neialty in New Yori. “Powerful influences will naturally be called: into play from this time on twease the New York muney murket.

Thore was a partial rally towards noon, but tho markets again turned down. The vast quantities of stuff offered were, however, taken; muchof it was bought by local operators who had sold short the previous week when quo- tutions were nearly at tho top; and the freedom with which they took hold prevented a greater decline. As It was, a great many lots were forced on tho market, the drop having exhausted the margins advanced by tho parties on whoso account the proporty had been | bought. Of course, margins were called, right and ieft. The calls were generally respondod to, eithor by putting up or closing out, but one failure being reported. That was in provisions, and not n leading operator.

The people who have been buying hog ‘products and grain have, however, done it with surplus money, and many of them would not know whut to do with the cash if they should seli out, Possibly this fact will prove to be’ tho one preventive of the disastrous break which would otherwiso be 2 natural conscquonce of the widesprend distrust in tho situation.

Boots and shoes, clothing, hats, caps, und miilinery goods re- mained quict, There was a good general de- mand for staple and fancy groceries, and a firm set of prices, coffecs excepted. The driod-fruit trade was active, with prices ruling firm. Fish continue inactive and frm. In tho butter mar- ket there was an active demand for choice qualities, while low and medium grades wero neglected. Cheese remained quiet and unset- tled. Thore was a light movement in bagging atuachanged rates. Oijs were quict and steady. Coul was unchanged:. : Lumber was itr fairdemand and steady. The shipments are fair, and deniers say they would bo much larger if the ears could be obtained to forward the lumber in that has already been sold. Wool was quict and steady. Hay was less active. Timothy was salable to shippers at un- changed prices, while. prairie was slow and easy, being depressed by the increased offerings of loose hay. Tho sales of broom-corn, hides, and hops were up to the recent average. Sceds were in mioderate demand, clover being firmer. On the street, business wus light in poultry, game, and potatoes, and the two first-named were lower, the soft weather making holders anxious to close out what they had on hand. Groen fruits were in light local request. “No shipping movement to-day, I suppose?” “No: we cannot touch it; and if we could there are no cars to be obtained within the next two. wevks.” Thut is a terse and commonplace state- mentof the situation as made yesterday by 2 prominent party in tho erain shipping line. One of the prominent shippers of flax-seed states that his house has shipped 41,000 bu of dirt to tho East since Aug. 1. The treight on it amounted to about 35,740. If the farmers were toclean their seed thoroughly they would have received part of this money themselves(?}. The top of the boom in produce last winter was reached about Dec. 25.

He who taketh his ease in_bis inn, enjoying to tho full the luxuries of its parlors and living rooms and the delicacies of its table, bas but little idea, us a general rule, of the busy work which is carried on behind the scenes in which he plays such 2 plensant part. ‘This is especinlly the case with the gastronomical part of the en- tertainment he receives. la the purlors and sitting-rooms and bed-rooms he does now and thon witness the operations of the white-capped and, not unfrequently, comely chamber- maid, but the operations which re- sult in the production of his meals nreamystery which lie :-bas never solved, and in all probability does not wish to solve, The serious-fuced and sémbre-clad walter brings him what he wants of fish or fowl, of soup or entrée, und be never yives a thought as to where it comes from, perfectly satisticd with the effect ald not at all vurigus as to the cause. Yesterday afternoon, during the dinner-bour, a TrisgNk reporter paid 2 visit behind tho seenesof the Palmer House dining-room. and passed sn interesting half-hour in_an inspection or tho manner fa which the uriny of empluyés there ndminister to the wants of the guests of the hotel. “You should have come hore at tho timo of tho Conclave,” remarked Mr. Dodge, wko was acting as chavcrone, “ and then you would bave seen # Sight never to be forgotten. That was the time for n rush, wasn't it, Mr, Huckins?” Mr. Huckins. the steward of the hotel, being appenicd.to, indorsed the clork’s statement, and. recalled to mind the terribiestruggle which te, then hud three Umesaday wito the insatiaule appetites of the thuusunds who thronged the big hotel's dining-rooms and restaurants at that time, “At breakfast-tln be said, “it was awful. There are no joints to cut from then, us at dinner, and cvery range in the pince was kupt buys und yct the Wants of all could not be im- medintely supplied.” The steward then went oo. to explain that at presynt the house was doin comparatively light business, and that, especini- Jy ut dinuer-time, there was an absence of the rush which fs apparent at OTMER SEASONS OF THE YEAR. The scene wis nevertholess quite a busy one. Ranged beforg the steward and three assistants were sone fifteen covered dis! from which, as the orders came in, they curved the meut for .tho waiters. As the covers were lifted were re- vealed boiled aud buked fish, leg of mutton, corned bevf und eabbage, bain, Veal, turkey, beef, venison, and other roasts and bolls. At no time were the cirving-knives idle, and the ex- pertness with which the sbarp cutlery was inade to dissect the various joints was surprising. Op- itio the carvers were a dozen of young women, standing in front of an array of copper dishes sunken into a large neating-box, in euch of which was a quantity of vegetables. Direc! an order had had its carnal requirements filled, these were charged with tho londing of the small vegetable dishes in accordance with the orders of the guests, and, this done, the waiters frisked off With their louds to the ante- room of the dintng-hatl, whe they were handed over to the other waiters dealing directly with the publie. For an hour this went on; the carvers’ knives flashed among roasts of beef, dissected tho joints of tender turkeys, sliced off tempting ad- mixtures of fut and lean from the monstrous pieces of corned-beef, while the spoons of the merry maidens opposit delved into the dishes and scooped out musbed potatoes, boiled onions, cabbage, rice, squash, and other delectable vege- tables. - Everything was conducted on an enormous seale, and yot the operations were carried on with ag great vase as in the 12x10 kitchen where Bridget gots up her dinner far a bare half-dozen. In the course of his peregrinations the report- er met and waa Introduced to Sir. Joseph Sest, tho deus ex machina, .tho bead-cook of the pluee, who initiated him ia “the mysteries of the imonstrous kitchen.” The room covers an area of Iu0xt0 feet. and is divided into depart- ments, each of which js presided over by 2 sub- cook of acknowledged ability. The south end of the kitcien was found to be entirely occupied by 2 linc of ranges 100 feet in length, where, in the ovens below, 13 done ull the rousting, while the surface of the ranges is devoted to what is known as “ pan-cooking,” from which result the entrées, the fried dishes, the meat sauces, and other light articles of food. Inn cornerof the room at the end of the ranges hung three large copper boilers, filled to their $0-allon capacity with toothsome mouts simmering in their own Juivesandevolvingn most appetizing odor. In one of these the meats were of the stronger descrip- ton, such as beef and mutton, intended to pro- duce tho busis of a supply of ‘mock-turtle soup for Sunday’s dinner; in the others, portions of chicken and other light meats swam about gi in up of their delicate flavor forthe prepara- tion of @ bouillon. THE PLATE-HEATING APPARATUS . was tound worthy of inspection. Four long shelves of plate-stecl, resting upon coils of steum-pipo, formed u hollow square with a sur- fuce of about 500 square feet, almoat all of which was covered with piutes and dishes, heated to a comfortable degree. The potuto-masher used in the kitchen was a forty;rallon copper vessel. pierced with holes’ “‘and fitting into a hollow re- ceptucie. Into the former was plaecd about 2 bushel of steaming potatoes, which nu muscular fellow {mmediutely attacked with a inizxhty pestie of hard wood four feet in length and widening at its lower end to a width of six inches. Ina very few moments tho individual- ity of each potato was logt, und the lifting out of the vessel disclosed in the receptacle below a suow-white muss, which was taken off und, after being duly prepured, placed at the disposal of the young, women in charge of serving the veg- etables. As soon ns done with, the plates and dishes Were removed from the dining-room and recon- veyed to tho Kitchen, where x dozen women pre- pared chem for fresh employment. A couple of women were engzged in the work of tossing the “leavinges” into 2 retuse box; others took the disbes and cleaned them in long troughs of hot water Sying in front of them, Another relay then took thom, dried thom, and handed them over to attendunts who placed them upon the heating shelves to got ready for another trip to the din- iug-room. verywhere in the kitchen business was con- ducted with a rush and withbut any jar, and by 22h o'clock the appetites which had occasioned so much bard work seemed to have been satis- nd waiters and washers, rs and potute-mashers found rest from their Iaburs, Betore leaving the plies: the reporter paid 2 visit to 2 number of the subterranean depart ments of the giguntic hotel; to the ice-houses, ‘ where vast amounts of fish, flesh, and fowl were kept ready for service; to the relish corner, where the choicest vegetxbles of the sensou and the pickles ave kept on stock; to the brend. roorn, where he saw a baking of 109 loaves ta steaming and sevorr from tho ove 0 the wine-celiar, where $0,000 worth of choice liquors ure kept imprisoned: to the store room, where the groceries, ete.. aro on stock,—ull of which impressed him with the iden that, after all, the bourder who buys all these good things with only tho responsibility of a little bill to attend to every week hus the best of it, The caazm of such good things departs when they are looked upon us so much merchandise, and if my guest of the hotel fvels any desire to follow the track of the reporter and see where bis roust beef, turkey thizh, salmi of wild duck, spice-pudding, or pint bottle of Heidsick comes from, be had better restrain his curijusity. Seen in such pro- fusion, they become common and lose their appetizing power. a BLOSSOAI. » For The Chicago Tribune. “Riss me good-night!” Little lips are Itfted, + And little hands are folded over mine; ~Lbuby face is upturned; cyes are pleadmg— Eyes that mirror chiluish fuith divine. “ Kiss me goo-night!
