EniToit Sroirr, You will perhaps bo unable (o tin dorutaiul how u Chicago letter can be written from sucli an iucomnarifwn-1 nblo little town as Bangor, Jlioh., but tbc facta are it is an enterprising little place wilb Chicago characteristics and well it is not iicrcpsnry for you to know l any mors of thu facts, just believe anil pave the inconvenience of further explanation. Bangor is a nice, clean little city of about lfiOO inhabi tants, is located u few miles north of the lake, and about 100 miles from Chicago. The most unpleasant thing I have encountered in my three days residence norolias been a little enow storm yesterday, followed by a rain storm to-day, and as to-morrow is election day it is reasonable to predict a continuation of the panic. The coun try quietude of this village with its many features of clo.se resemblance to Union has caused mo to spend the day in dreamy review of other scenes and other days, and in listening to the country "hotel bar-room Oratory that is common to all such villago hotels as the one run by good naturcd John Sebring of whom we are a guest. Theto sociable town talkers will gather around the hotel stovo and occupy all the chairs and let you stand up and listen to him all day free of charge. Tho proprietor of the Souring House is M) well known and so popular that no one can hiicccfsfully operate a hotel in tho town against him. Hcie ib one instance wherein tho Louisana Lottery did a good work for a whole community. John Sebring, like Hen jamni Harrison, to that extent, at least, that he was a son of his fattier, if not his grandfather a time honored citizen of this locality, whoso ashes have boon for some years returned to dust was one of the hciis to his fath er's elate, consisting principally of tho Sebring House. Tho town was young, heuco tho house was nono too prospeious when it passed into the hands of our, subject and whilo attend ing to his daily routine of biifcinesa one day live years ago, Sebring was solici ted by tho popular villago barber, one Billy Martin by name, who was of a somewhat sportive disposition, to take a half interest in his seven dollars Worth of lottery tickets. Tho accom modating landlord, with tho character istic disposition of our old fellow townsman Dan J' Moore of the Cen tennial, in by-gono days, naturally replied "all right" and slashed out thu rcquiied three dollars and a half. ! Nothing more was thought of this little business transaction until John iSebring received a dispatch from his uncle, a telegraph operator in Chicago, stating that ticket No. XfiOO.'l, Louis iana Lottery, held by Billy .Martin of Bangor, .Mich., had drawn $ 15,000. Sebring in a quiet way remarked that he owned a half interest, in that, and, nfter an exchange of telegrams with hid uncle, took tho train to Kalamazoo to find his lucky partner Thev went together to New Orleans and plucked tho table and put Crciger in his stead, the boodle, returning to Bangor whore and another enthusiastic Kiwiibh yell the sudden acquired cash proved too 1 for the succes.i of Ceo. W. Hunt's rail much for the short-sighted colored road, that with a daily influx of three gentleman and in less than eighteen I or four hundred people to tho North months ho was penniless. John Se-' west, that tho time is not far distant bring did not lose his equilibrium, but when oven Baker City lots may be ndded a little banking oflico to his good property, I give way to "('. A. S." hotel, and in his gentleinanfy business I Hear him: way, with his wide circle of acquaint- j "The pampctcd man of luxury who liners, ho has prospered, not on tho I rides in tho Pullman t-leeper attracts iivaiieiuiH principle, hut with tho di KCclu?ion to-day that is 1 feel rather non-committal like 1 did not care to ?ay much for fear 1 might fay some thing. However, 1 will continue by informing you that it is the first day of April. Guess I'll fool you. More anon, V. H. McCo.mas. VirKSiiriiri, (Mich.,) April .'Ird. After reconsidering my boldness in so impudently cutting short my epis tle and carrying it u day or two in mv pocket while traversing tho country i on business, 1 thought I would mid a post-sciipt to let you know that I was j just in fun. I My travels to-day have been from Bangor to Grand Junction, a distance j of nine miles, and from Grand Junct tion to Vicksburg, forty-two miles. To make these Jifty-one miles by "narrow gouge" lines, stopping every four or five miles, has taken nearly all day, but if we had had nothing else on our mind but to admire the beauties of nature's handiwork, polished and improved by the hand of man, we would have been repaid. One of Michigan's proudest little cities is Kalamazoo wo spent two hours there to-day the same Kalamazoo-mazon of college song fame, and a prettier little city with prettier and more sub stantial surroundings would be hard to find in any country. Traveling from Grand Junction to Kalamazoo wo engaged in conversation uith a young man of the latter place who had become somewhat, acquainted with our old friend Kobinson and his daughter dining their recent visit to this state, and to see and actually talk with some one that had known somo ono that I had known made mo feel that history did actually repeat. Then again for further evidence of tho old adage, as J raise my eyes and glance over tho table on which 1 write, my eaglo eye is attracted to the word "Oregon," and wo eagerly peruse a two column article after tho following stylo If ho comes by the Union I 'matin ho takes breakfast at Huntinatoii, still among thu barren mountains winch have skirted his eour.se for nearly two whole days, ami ob serves unit tiie temperature lias (jrnwn milder.

I do not write this with the design of advertis ing the subject of this shoteh, but as a simple illustration of the rarity of tho case, prompted by my well-known rjinivoii.s-iKnim-.lisposition to lavish praise where it justly belongs. 1 will alto add in further proof of that last statement that before leaving town I intend to pay my hotel bill, an act whieh ne wspaper correspondents somo times overlook. While doing (ho "lavish net" I would stato for tho ediileation of the two-fnr-livc-ccnts itemizer and real es tate ajipraiiior of an enlerprising(Y) Raker City paper which recently at tempts to depreciate the value of its town property by accusing that noto rious brother of mine of hawking it through tho markets of Illinois and Indiana, that such tfliort-sighted jour unlismorita endorser.i do not merit success in any country, and if the illogical father of that illogical olFort had an infant's perception of tho im mensity of property tales and ex changes that are daily transacted in Chicago, the greatest rough-and-tumble trading city in tho world, involving property all over tho continent, title clear and title clouded, equities real nnd equities imaginable, ho would per haps not scud out such a nonsensical wail in behalf of the poor, unsophisti cated Chicago trader. Said Chicago trader may need 11 guardian, hut lie would soon stock that wise young man lip with a cargo of woreo property than ' Raker City lots and do it in a work-! iniin-like manner too. Ynttr correspondent having paused at the conclusion of (ho above on touee and spent the evening in ono of Jlangoi's institutions of worship, and having been treated to a srioutitio ex hortation by an old crank of tho old school Chribtiau faith on tho exact proceed and manner of proeccduro adopted by .N'oah and tho boys in tho construction nnd loading of that tradi tional old boat of whieh you have probably heard Mimething of in your far w stern homo brforo this, as ho said th" Hible tells all about it, and Talnuige says tho Hiblo is getting into tho humid of everybody and that thero aro being now ones made in tho pi lut ing oilhuns ovory day 1 bay having thuidy spent the evening in a thusly mniior, us it wore, or words to Unit cllcet, 1 feel somuwhat iuulinud toward very little attention 111 this country m comparison with the occupant of the tourist and emigrant carsVi Tho influ ential citizen, which every railroad village has, and who is always to be seen about the station at train time, wastes no time on him, and even the belle of tho town, who comes out to show her best dress and newest hat to the passengers, seems to earn very lit tle for tho man who is probably travel ing mlely for pleasure. Tho iulluen tial and well-informed citizen and the belle aro both numerous about these western stations, and the emigrant is glad to see them. As soon as tho mountains aro passed and the fertile valleys begin to appear he begins to exhibit thelivliest curiosity to learn all ho can about the country and tho ad vantages it all'ords. lie keeps tho well-informed citizen busy answering questions. 'What kin you raise here?' 'How much of itr and ' nat do you git for it?' are the questions he iuvari alily asks as soon as the train stops, and the well-informed citizen is ready to give the most tempting information he has got in reply, lie praises tho country in unsparing terms', and as the train moves away invariably winds up with : 'Well, we are willin' to see yo go, because, we know ye'll come back here after ye've seen all tho other places.' I think I must have heard this fame remark at least fifty times between the eastern lino of Oregon and Portland, whieh was the point to which most of tho emigrants weie ticketed. In most cases it seemed likely, at the time, that the prediction would bo verilied, if only tho emigrants had money enough left to get back, for the country is wonderfully beautiful and productive. After it week's stay in this region 1 am convinced that, had thu pilgrim fathers lauded on tho shores of l'uget Sound, Now Kngland would still have been in tho peaceful possess ion of tho IVquots and Narrngautjotts, ami I'lymoth rock would lay to-day un discovered in the depths of a howling wildernos."
