This same condition obtains at Cincin Uati, where, from October i to November 9, 249 died of smallpox, and of these 209 were Germans For this periodwe have had only twelve deaths by this disease, mclndtag two that were not retorted. Small-pox Is alae quite prevalent at St. Loan. In both eitaes ths death rate for the butt four years, by smallpox, has beta much greater than in this city. I deem it my duty to call attention to Dr. M. O.

I im- mediately sens a message to Dr. Springer, who re- (hiring my absence, and ackuowl- wae one of small -pox, whereupon brought against him, but, as I said before, he has left the city.

Last season aa effort was made by owners of brick-yards to combine for the purpose of keeping up the rates, but the effort was a failure. An attempt to s uiiaish the number manutac tm-ed provi futile. Now the brlckmakers purpose to reim- burse themselves, ths prices oeing greatly en- hanced, and the prospestlve supplybeing so lim- ited- The present modest demand is tl*—an ex- aggerated rate, which vftaaot be maintained after the season opene again. . v , . OUTSIDE MUCK. If builders cannot obtain brick made in the city,is is of prime importance that they should be obliged to go no further than is absolutely necessary beyond the city limits. All the brick n e e^ e dJ o r, t h , 9 1E* c o l l B t r u ct«n ot Chicago can be eaMly obtatoedky those who have purses of suffi- cient length. The nearest place* to this ©fty where bricks are now made, are Willow-Spring, Jefferssn, Niles, Winetka, Waukegan, MoHenry, Dunton, and Desplaines, all of wkichvUlages are within a radius of a few miles of us. From these villages transportation will not add materially to the cost of the article. In Wisconsin bricks are made all the way from Kaoine to Sheboygan. Those of Milwaukee have the best reputation, be- ing of regulation sine, durable, and of handsome color. The other Wisconsin brick are of smaller else, and of leas handsome appearace. The light- colored brick will no doubt be in great demand either for trimming or for entire fronts of build- ings. Brick are also made to a greater or less extent in every town and village in this and the adjoin- ing States. Agents from various places have been here with their wares, and have met with *onie success in selling them, although the supply ou hand here happened to bo enough for the im- mediate demand. Wisconsin biiok could be ob- tained here last week for a little more than the price naked for Chicago brick, For fronts of buildings, considerable pressed brick will doubtoss come rrom New Tork, Phila- delphia, and Baltimore, that of the two cities last mentioned being the best. The cost here is tee. A beautiful enamelled brick from Philadelphia is offered for fTO per thousand, suitable for rotun- das and iataftor walls where exposed. Nearly all ths hsseks made at a distance must come by rail, and railroad transportation is ex- pensive. Tharefore,tbe Chicago rebuildera desire that; the manufacture in tins vicinity, where ma- terial is abundant, should be mdeanitely ia- creased, \ * COST OF MACHrWBBT, ETC. The writer hae been at the trouble to compile some figures in regard to the expenditures inci- dental to the commencement of the business of brick manufacture, which may be of interest to those Interested in money getting. The calcula- tion is designed for a yard capable of making 4,GOu,ooo of brick in the season. The estimated expenditures are liberal: HO:-"'ill Were Emptied of PSBcesnd Fire Commissioners, rammed their examination, with re- gard to the causes of l b s burning of the city.

When pumping into tee pipes on Mon- day a line of hose wassent across the river. No in- ducement was offered to force a stream on the coal pile from the engine—none to him positively. Tke Chief told Mr. Bradly he eould have a stream of water on the coal pile for an hour. He let the stream run for an hoar longer, and then turned it on to the water mains. He denies having heard of any money being paid to bis men for a diver- sion of the stream. Mr. Sheridan said citizens were complaining teat such was the case, but the witness denied it most unqualifiedly. The water was sent across the coal pile oa Wednesday. On that morning he had received his orders to get to work at the foot of Washington street to pump into the water mains, and there the line was at- tached to the coal piles. The horses attached to the Long John were found at Riverside. All his men were with him except Coffin, who did not re- S ort until Tuesday morning at the Williams' ouse. He believed that he had been working with some other company, having been told that his engine was burned. All the rest of his men were with him, and sober since the first alarm. He knew that in all tke alleys at the back of the banks and big buildings there were very many frame buildings containing carpenter's shops, en- graver's rooms, and so forth. Such was the ease with the Oriental Budding, and these caught the sparks shed by the loftier buildings. HKNBY DLIUCH, a policeman, stationed at the Armory, was caned to give his statement of the turning off of the gas at the works. A frame building opposite the gas works took fire, and a shed of the gas works followed. Aneffioer of tee works said, "Boys, let the gas out of tee big tank before it explodes," but the policeman eould not state how it was done. The retort house took fire before the Monroe street building. He had seen the big tank go down pretty rapidly, and the smell of the gas was very strong. As soon as the gas was let go, everything took fire in the neighborhood,—tee gas works and the Armory and all the buildings. The Armory burned very rapidly. The fire struck the frame building ad- joining the gas works first on tke north g$e of Adams street. As sooa as the gas was turned off V:a fire spread agatast tee wind. He had not heard anything explode except a little powder in the Armory. John Doyle, engineer sf the steamer Jake Benin,was examined, but his testimony was of no great value. NICHOLAS DDBACH, Foreman of the Economy, No, 8, was called upon. His testimony was to the effect that a quantity of moss in the Sherman House was on fire, proba blybsed for bedding. He reached the scene of the original conflagration in about eight minutes. One man had offered to go shares with him if he would put out his eeaL He was a Jew. The Foreman replied that tee oity had paid him, and he would not work on shares. Beyond this no offer had bean made. When he reached the fire there were four buildings on fire. It was about an hour and a half after he arrived there that he had orders to go ahead of tee tire. No one had sent him to the South Side, but he had gone over there on his own responsibility when he saw the fire near the Armory. JOUNCAMTION, of the Little Giant, did not know anything of tee origin or progress of tee fire. His engine was the first there. There Were three barns and two houses on fire. Bennar ordered him back to tee alley. He believed that the fire was pat out to oue barn, and left it. Benner worked with toe pipe for half a minute or less. » 4, HA. FSTfta T.

The Lectare ef Jtadnh W a l s s B a e r s t s en wOree or ; The lecture of Ralph Waldo Emerson on Mon- day night, at tee Wabash A venne Baptist Church, was wen attended. The building is one of the handsomest religious edifices In the city, aad, be- ing itself an artistic model, was fitted far the delivery af a lecture on a r t The audience gathered was well-bred, well-dressed, quiet, and coldly -in tellect ual enough te pass for a select gathering of people la Boston. Through the hush and dimness that preceded tke coming of the lecturer, the organ played, first a classic overture upon some grand and noisy theme, teen a quiet number suited to religious meditations, and had commenced on one of Strauss'irreverent waltzes, when Mr. Emerson was quietly ushered to the stand. Mild applause greeted his appearance. The church at once became a place of light, and, while tee brief speech of introduction was being uttered, ladles and gentlemen studied the exte- rior appearance of tee the thoughtful New Eug- lander. The Concord philosopher is tall, spare, and verging on three score and ten. But for an ungraceful curve, his nose would be as Grecian as his philosophy is Platonic. His shoes were neatly polished. His clothes were clerical, aad without wrinkle. His linen was with- out spot. The buttons were - pearl. His hair was long, white,1 thin, and combed closely to his head, as in early colon!- cal days. His manner was slightly stiff aad awk. ward, bnt that ot the true gentleman. The introductory effect ended, tee lecturer drew a handkerchief of immaculate whiteness from his pocket, one that he had taken from bis carpetbag at the latest moment possible before leaving his hotel, blew his philosophic nose, and, rising quieUy.said: GEKTLEHKN ANO LADIES : In seeing, this morn- ing, the ruins whish the late calamity has wrought on your young but huge oity, and which have interested the whole civilised world, I hare vivid desorli'tion of Pope stxttts V., formerly an Egyptian obelisk: brought to of Caligula.] ., h The works of tbeGrsetaand * * ™t , * » 8 £ r t l l been studied H ail egw.

Bnt the archi- tect fluds kUneeif helped on, when once com- menced to all this myriad detail. Art toves chance, and chance loves art. Chance la a pro- hflc inventor. Gourmands say ihat the Bourga- hnfie (f) pear is perfect only ten minutes. Nature is in perfection but one moment. In this mo- " toe artist mrat withdraw the object from and transmit itto eternity. a lecturer read a brief extract from Sehell- ing, commenting briefly thereon. Art rests on a foundation of the necessary and useful. The plumage of the bird and the bilght colors of in- sects nave a reason to the condition of the animal. The powers of every animal are pre- dicted to the slrsleton, and beauty is Inseparable from the original use and design. Everyone has noted the beauty of toe harp shell. But every minor string of the harp was honestly gained. Necessity as another suggesting cause of art. The first ship was a raft of logs. Then the sides rose into the scow. Then came the natural thought of protecting it from the weather; then the sharp- ening of the oows and the adding of the keel, and, finally, the perfect vessel moved by steam. The architect deals with strict conditions. The dur- able stone has a beauty not possessed by that which is soft and friable. Swedenborg said that the organic form resem- bles the end inscribed on it. The wings indicste the character of the bird. There should be no building which does not tell its use to its design. Houses are built too often to this country in toe fashion of pagan temples. People erect buildings for sell- ing goods to theGothie form, like a church. Noth- ing in art will atone for the lack of manual labor. In nature there is always a rigid economy of ma- terial; but no economy of workmanship. There is the most lavish amount of effect, but the, smallest saving of materials. The whole theory of nature la the removing of matter to de- sign inessential to atreagto and adapta- bility. The artist meets with constant surprises, Uke children who dlseereaad that sand assumed In accord with harmonious innds, but fell tote shapeless pitas when dis- Artatoae saltl® that shipbuilding was all the dp bet sks wood. It is an inteUigent imitation or nature. It i s true that the design is all. A grand ftfslga is better than any skid to execution. It ts the controlling thought Of every good work. The nature and purpose the work to the meat minute de- toffs. Tnat was A true saying of Swedenborg's 1 " The organic form resembles the end inscribed on it." An axeess of finishing always Indicates the decline af art. Greatness in art is not In size but to proportions. A gigantic figure may look mean, while a diminutive figure may be great and god like.
