CHICAGO. \ wr of the City_ The Ret Chics tent anal Reaive Nuisance—Tunne Newspapers—€ Patengs { Editorial Correspondence of the Star.} Surnway Hovse, Curcaso, September 18, 1505.4 Chicago does nothing by halves, and her new | park, designed to rival the New York Central Park, is to have artificial mountains thirty or | forty feet high. But meantime those who wish | to see Chicago from a commanding position climb to the dome of the Court House. The spiral stairway leading up the dome is much | frequented by the Children of the Prairie, who | clutch the hand-rail firmly, and vary their | dead-level experiences by looking out from an | swe and sublimity inspiring elevation dozens Of feet above the surrounding plain. It seems to be a favorite resort for courting couples, and | newly married couples—as are all dizzy ele- | ‘vations—probably because the two sexes are | thus brought into their natural relations of , protector and protected. The protecting male | arm naturally and rightfully finds its way ound the female waist; and the betrothed of Cook county are quite right in availing them- selves of the privileges of this siddy Chicago | height. Bird's-eye View of Chicage. From the Court House dome the visitor gets good general icea of the city—sees its mag- Bificent side and its mean side. It stretches slong the Lake altogether some twelve miles from Lake View to Hyde Park, but is only about two miles im depth. The city is divided into three parts, known as the North, South, and West Divisions. These divisions are formed by what is called the Chicago River, but which is 3 river orly im name, being nothing more than 8 currentless bayou, or inlet from the Lake, im the shape of the letter Y, with its base resting in the margin of the Lake, the stem ex. tending some three quarters of a mule west- ‘ward, and the arms spreading out north and south and disappearing m the marsby soil a few miles back. This inlet, thirty years ago a mere slough of the Lake, crossed by canoes, Sud with a sand-bar at its mouth, is now the | Scene of the busiest activity probably to be seen | on the same extent of water surface in the | world. In fact, it seems impossible te crowd more incessant and “red-hot” business activity | into the same space. The river, which by the ‘Way is, at its widest, Little wider than our ca. nal in Wasnington, and for the most part is | much narrower, is literally crowded with every variety of vessel, from the clumsy canal | boat to the stately three-master, that Sailing | from this river lands her cargo in Liverpool | Without breaking bulk. These vessels are | being snaked along with raflroad speea, up the river, head-first, and down the river stern- first, (for there is not room for them to turn,) by busy, snorting tugs, who thread their way hither and thither, making the most skillful hatr-breadth escapes for their tows from col- liding or getting into a lock with other vessels. Meantime there is a continuous tooting of horus | andYinging of bells, the first summoning the bridge-keepers to open the bridges for the pas- | sage of the vessels, and the latter being the signal warning people off the bridges while they are being opened. These draw-bridges— seventeen im Rumber—are placed at the river crossings of the principal streets. They are pivot-bridges in fact, though called dra: bridges, turning on the centre; and though | they are swung very readily by the two men | allotted to each bridge, yet in such a rushingly busy city as Chicago, even a momentary inter- ruption of the current of street business causes & Jam at each end of the bridge that almost immediately halts hundreds of yehicles, and crowds of pedestrians in procession. Aad when & tog appears dragging a long train of teu oF twenty vessels, threatening a consid- erable break im the bridge connection, it is | Amusing to see the stampede made to get to the other side of the bridge before the bell is rung: the signal for the bridge to commence its rey- olution. Passengers to the cars, business men on their way to the bank, expressmen, and all | others with pressing business on hand are | Liable to be put to the most serious inconveni- «ace by the delay at these bridges: and any Chicagoan with au important business engage- ment on Band allows at least one hour's time tor possible delay im crossing this river, which »© narrow that a biscuit may be fang across st. The nuisance of these bridges has got to be web an intolerable one that the people of Chi- ego have initiated a grand project for tunnel. ing the river at several points todo away with | the bridges. ‘The Tunnel under Chicago River, &c. A tunnel is now bemg constructed on Wash. | ington street, and though the distance is small, the mature of the soil is suc that the cost wiil be very Reavy. The tunnel out in the lake two and @ half miles to bring water to the city cost only $315,000, (contract price,) while the tunnel tor the short distance under the river at Wash- angton street will be over a million. The work of tunneling under the lake was very easy, as at was through @ layer of clay impervious to | the water from above. With the enlarged ideas of the Chicagoans in every matter relating to the improvement of thelr city—the great to be --Central City of the Continent” — the item of $20,000,000 for tan- nelwpg the river at various points to get rid ot the draw-bridges is s mere bagatelle. Draining the City on a Grand Scale. Im the same large-minded way they are a vcking out the work of draining the city. | ‘Chicago, situated on a dead level, originally at | the highest point only about eight inches above | the Ike, has been raised by successive changes of grade to am elevation about twelve feet above the level of the prairie. The sewage of the city Bas Deen heretofore directed to the river, | Which. having not particle of current save as ihe wind grves © little movement im oue direc- 8 cr the other, bas become a e=ss-pool of filta. The refuse and offal from the slaughter- houses, and pa king-bouses, also contribute to the fowl contents of this stream: which is well of the ne ils by Uy id Jake craft constantly | The resnlt is an almost in. | the ber naberiess steamtugs moving through wlerable stench, especially in the summer month: T home -sick Washingtonian, nding ove of the bridges and king down upcn the filthy stream, «an Peadily imagine himeelf on the borders 0 tis own well-remembered canal. But the Un1- uese are doing what we in Washington are | doing. They have not only raised the whole | <vy twelve feet, bat as the sewage will rot w into the lake, aud if i did would poison (ee Lake front, they are goimg to mak: a canal, sud carry it off ninety miles to Ottawa, on the iu. river. That is to say, the present ca- nal connecting Chics go with the 2ilimow river into which the water is now pamped by steam) is to be deepened six feet, giving a cure rent through the canal sufficient to carry the fhithoet the city far away to seeman outlet the Mississippi. This will not only afford a vent for the sewage of the city, but will carry out the progressive Chicagoan idea of provi- cong tor the passage of vessels direct from Chi- cago to the Mississipp: without loek-bindranes, ‘This wiil costa trifle of three or four millions ot dollars. Cutting a New River. Axother grand Chicago ides will soon be eorriea out in the same large-handed way. ‘Toe cy Bas BOW about eigategen miles of | diverted Chicago-ward by ber wide-1 dockage—one mile apon the main river, eight miles wpon the North Branch, and ten miles upon the South Branch. This extensivedock- age ts found to be utterly mmadequate to accom- modate the rapidly growing trade of the city. It is now proposed to open the Calumet River, S reedy inlet from the lake south of the city and cutachannel tor some distance through the marshy ground in that vicimity, to connect the Calumet with the South Branch of the Chicago River, thus supplyimg not only ac immense increase of Geakane hat also affording cireuit by which vessels entering the Catu met south of the city can find anexit by t Cuicago mver, and the reverse. This amount of dockage ts tobe yet farther increased by cutting a large number of slips to intersect the river. The bfick-makers will readily under- take to cut the slips without cost for the sake of obtaining the blue clay that underlies the | bisck prairie soil from two:te six feet below the surtace. Obieago issedulously cultivating the Lake ‘Superior trade, and this Calumet River improvement is with a sharp eye over the right im that direction. But Chicago 1s throwing out her arms in all directions, very much to the disgust of her riyal St. Louis, who | occasionally wakes up of a morning to find some important feeder of her own tapped. or ake competitor. Wonderful Grewth of Chicago. Itis 8 curious fact, told me by a prominent newspaper man of Chicago, as illastrating | how far Chicago bas shot ahead of the most inf ed suticipations in her behalf, that the rst Water Board of Chicago in 1550 provided fora population of 65,000 in 1°70, and this was deemed a wide margin at that time. Chicago has a population to-day of from 250,000 to 5,000, snd at the same rate of increase will have a population of 360,010 in 1570. Eight thousand buildings were erected in Chicago this summer at a cost of about $17,000,000. No Jess than 21 church edifices were erected, or in Progress of erection, this season in Chicago, several of them ai a cost exceeding $100,000 each, Palmer, the great real estate operator of | Chicago, who owns a mile of houses on one of the principal syeets,—State street, I believe,— is erecting @ block at the corner of State and Washington streets, which is rented to Leiter & Co., dry goods men, for $52,000 per year; and this is but & specimen of the magnificent style of enterprise noted in the operations of her business men. The Sh: Side of Chicage. But while these stately piles are rising in the Lake front portion of the city, Uhicago has miles of streets of the merest shed edifices. Take the muddiest portion of “Murder Bay,” in our esty, color the mud the complexion ot blacking, put the shanties there on stilts, line the streets with board side-walks, also on stilts, but at various elevations, reached by steps, and you have the style of buildings and street improvements of a large portion of the city ot Chicago. But the hopeful feature about this shabby side of Chicago is that all these mean frowzy buildings will be swept away within a number of years that can be counted on the fingers of one hand, and their places supplied by structures in keeping with those | now being built in the better part of the city. Chicago has a great reform to make in the matter of her foot-walks. Even upon her handsomest streets the foot-walks are a patch- work of incongruous materials—wood, stone, brick, as the case may be, wood prevailing. | This comes from the fact that every property- owner is allowed to put down his own side- walk, in such fashion and of such material as seems good to him. The result is a zebra pat- tern of cheap pine boards, handsome stone flagging, red brick and yellow brick, that du figures these streets greatly. Ltaffords a warn- ing tous in Washington not to adopt e similar plan, as has been proposed, permitting indi- viduals to choose their own materials and | style of construction im laying down foot- walks in front of their premises. The Nicholson Pavemen But if her foot-walks are not up to the mark, Chicago can boast the besi street pavements in the world. Noone who has driven over Wabash Avenue, or seen its magnificent perspective. but must admit that the wood pavement is the Perfection of pavement, as regards comfort for man and horse, beauty of surface, noiseless- ness and delight‘ul cleanliness. The advan- tages of wood pavement over stone pavement is shown most conclusively by the contrast of stone-paved Michigan Avenue to wood-paved Wabash Avenue, parallel and adjoining streets, Michigan Avenue, fronting on tne Lake and lined with handsome houses, is in many respects a finer street than Wabash Avenue, yet the Imtter simply by the advantages of its ‘wood pavement carries away the palm from its neighbor, and no visitor fails to notice how much the matter of pavement has to doas an essential toa first-class street. Wabash Avene is the favorite drive and promenade of Chi- cago, but the leading business streets of the city bear even more marked testimony to the value of the wood pavement. This pavement, laid | years ago in streets where it has had to stand the wear and tear for years of loads weighing from five to seven tons, is yet in excellent con- dition. In the start there was a warm contest upon the pavement question in Chicago, but now the merits of wood-pavement have been demonstrated so conclusively, that I have not met a single Chicagoan who is not warmly in favor of this style of pavement. It may be proper to state here that though the wood pave- ment of Chicago ts usually styled the Nichol. son pavement, the term is applied to three or four kinds in use here, only one of which is really the Nicholson pavement, and subject to his royalty. A Good Thing for Washington. In referring to the generally mean appear- ance of the footwatks of Chicago, credit should be given for the charming style of sidewalk ornamentation adopted in Michigan and Wa- bash avenues, where a portion of the stree, (between the footwalk and the carriageway) is devoted to grass-plats, trees, and shrabbery, in the manner advocated by Senator Sherman for our streets in Washington. The effect of a line of sidewalk in front of handsome bnild- ings. thus shaded, and made grateful to the eye by the bright green of its turf is most pleasin| and no Washingtonian can look upon it with- out feeling that it is just the thing needed tor our wide dusty streets. The hog:, geese, and cows running at large in Washington would, however, play the mischief with such side- walk adornments in our city. Chicago Newspapers. The Chicago newspapers are conducted with & degree of enterprise characteristic of the place. The Tribune makes the most money, having the monopoly of the short advertixe- ments—the “Wants,” the “Personals,” the “For Sale,” and “For Rent” advertisements— which, as in the case of the Stax in Washing. | tom. the Sun in Baltimere, the Ledger in Phila. delphia, the Zrrald in New York, etc. eic., 80 unerringly indicates the paper having the largest circulation. and the most profitable ad~ vertising patronag». The otaer Chicago pa- pers make money on their circulation. bat the Amount of generai advertising they contain tor ® bustling city of this size is singatarly smal Itis clear that the Chreago Bonners, Barnums. Townsends, Helmbold<, &c., who know the secret of making fortunes by the liberal ade of printer's ink, have yet 0 make their appear- ance. Atthe Tritune office I met Mr. James Sheahan, formerly of Washington, but for MANY years prominently connected with Cai- capo journalism. He is getting a trifle s‘outer About the waist-band than bis friends remem. ver him of old, bus is as keen, briery and origi. nal asever. He seems to have become a fix! ure in Chicago, and is not likely to come back to Washington to “Digest” our corporation laws again. Another ex-Washingtonian, Mr. Fred. erick Hall, phonographic clerk at the War La- partment during the war, is connected with the Triteme. 1 met here Governor Bross, oue of the pro- Prictors of the 7rilwnc, just returned from his Rocky Mountains excursion with Speaker(o fax. Mr. Broes is very earnest in denouncing the temporizing moral suasion polocy followed by the Government in dealing with the Indians, and thinks it about time to use stones instead of tufts of grass to make them “come down.” The Tritune is very ably couducted by Hor. ace White. I believe there was alittle disaf. fection on the part of some of the proprietors on accounteofhisrunming the Tribune against impeachment nd ia support of Mr Trumbull, but he seems to bave weathered it.

Let those laugh, however, who win; and Chicago is certainly making tremendous headway. She can point to her=,000 new houses (ifmany of them are frame shanties) built this season, and to the almost fabulous rise in the value of her real estate. It should be added, however, that the great rise in her real estate bas only been in particular localities; good judgment being as requisite in Chicago as in Washington or elsewhere, wo select ground likely to come in the track of improvement. In some localities in Chicago the value of real es- tate has increased very little, if at all, for years. co. 8. N. ‘of seth was ediourved.
