Tho Country Thereabout Offered Few Fea ture, nail There Wm NotlihiE Worthy of Eulogy A Report That railed Com pletely ns n Prophecy. The Chicago of nearly 73 roars ago did not present an inviting nptxxinuicc. Xko .party of Keating ami Lang lcfj port ' Wavna in May to discover tho pourco of tho St. Peter's river. Tho ap proach to Chicago is thus described in the account published In 1825: "Wo m-ro near tho southern extremity of tho lake. Tho view toward tho north Tvns boundless, tho cyo meeting nothing but tho vast cxpanso of wnter which spread liko n two, its surfaco at that timo as calm mid unruffled na though it were a sheet of Ice. "Our path led us over thoscono of tho bloody massacre which occurred in 1812, when tho garrison of Chicago was de stroyed by tho Pottawatomies. No traces aro now to bo seen of tho massacre. 4 On tho af terucou of Jnno 5 wo reach ed Fort Dearborn (Chicago). Fort Dear born is on tho south Dank, near tho mouth of tho Chicago river. Tho post nt Chicago was abandoned n few months after the party visited it. Its establish ment liad been found necessary to intimi date the powerful tribes of Indians j which still inhabit this part of thoconn- try. "We were much disappointed nt tho appearance of Chicago and its vicinity. Wo found in it uothiug to Justify tho great eulogiura lavished upon it by Mr. Schoolcraft, a late traveler. "The best comment upon his descrip tion of tho climato and tho soil Ls the fact that, with tho most active vigilanco on tho port "of tho officers. It was impos sible for tho garrison, coasrsting of 70 to 00 men, to subsist ou tho grain raised in tho country. "Tuo appearance of tho country near Chicago offers but few features. There is too much uniformity in tho scenery. Tho extensive water pnvpoct is a wasto nncheckered by islands and unenlivened by spreading canvas. "Tho village presents no thrilling prospects, as notwithstanding its antiq alty it consists of but few lrats, inhab ited, by a miscrabloraco of men, scarcely equal to tho Inaians, from whom they are descended. Their log or bark houses aro low, filthy and disgusting, display ing not the least trace of comfort. "Chicago is perhaps ono of tho oldest settlements in the Indian country. Its name, derived from tho Pottawatnmlo language, signifies either 'skunk' or 'wild onion. ' Mention is made of tho place as having been visited in 1071 by Perot, who found "Chicgon to bo tho residenco cf a powerful chief of tho Mi amis. ""As a placo of business it offers no inducement to tho settler, for the wholo annual amount of trade ou tho kike did not exceed the cargoes of five schooners, even when the garrison received its sup plies from Mackinaw. "It is not impossiblo that at somo dis taut day, when tho banks of tho Illinois shal1 have been covered with a dense population and when the low prairies which extend between that river and Fort Warno shall havo acquired a popu lation prepare onate to the produce which therein yield, Chicago maybecomo one of the points in direct communication between tho northern lakes and tho Mis- sisaippL "Tho Indians were chiefly Pottawato mies, but intermixed with Ottowas and Chippewas. Among many charges against theso Indians there, is nono more horrible than the chargo of cannibalism. This has been denied, but it has been acknowledged by tho Indians themselves, and it has been uniformly admitted by the interpreters and traders who havo long resided with them. "It is a common superstition with them that ho that tastes of the body of a brave man acquires a part of his ralor. and if ho can eat of his heart, which by them is considered cs the seat of all courage, the share ol bravery which ar rives from it is still greater. "Captain Wells is still mentioned as the bravest white man with whom they ever met. Ho had almost become ono of their number and had united himself to a descendant of Little Turtle. "At tho commencement of hostilities between the British and Americans he sided with his own countrymen, while the Indians of this vicinity all passed into tho British service. Wells was killed. After the action his body was divided, and his heart was shared, as be ing tho most certain spell far courage, and part of it was sent to the rarious tribes in alliance with the Pottawato mies, whilo they themselves feasted up on the rest. " Chicago Times-Herald. StrHetratly Bcwzrded. The latest joke at the expense of the French Society For the Protection of Animals is to the following effect : A countryman, armed with an immense club, presents himself before tho presi dent of the society and claims the first prize. He is asked to desert bo the act of humanity on which he founds the claim: "I saved the life of a wolf," replies the countryman. "I might easily liavo killed him with this bludgeon," aud he swings his weapon in the nir, to tho im mense discomfort of tho president, "But where was this wolf ' inquires the latter. "Whathad ho done to vouJ" "He had just dcroured my wife," was tho reply. Tho president reflects an instant and then says, "My friend, I am of opinion that you havo been sufficiently reward ed.
