At LaFnv-•ette we met a grand reoop tion. The people turned out with a brass band and cheered with welcomes of applause. LaFa\etto contains 20,000 people, and is not, far from the battle grounds of Tippecanoe. We are now in In-dinnnpefis—the greatest railroad city in America.

To show the amount of travel 011 this road, when wo left Cairo our sleeping car was the only one attach-ed, when we reached Chicago we had seven large sleeping cars.Chicago is a great city. Phoenix like, it has loomed to greater proportions than before the disastrous fire.—Large iron and marble block*;seven and eight have risen up on every snU. The hotels arc said to bo the finest outside of the European cities. We were quartered at the Grand Pacific. Splendid carriages met us at the depot and gave a free ride to ourquarters. AVe were received by the proprietors, Messrs. Drake Ob., wifli the greatest kindness. At a cost of fifty dollars lie furnished carriages and gave rhe excursion ists a free ride over city. This hotel must have cost millions. Elevators hoist you to the seventh story; the dining room is adorned with marble columns; fine parlors and reception rooms, and faro good enoogb for kings. The Palmer house is said to be even finer than the Pacific. Among the places of inferest visited were the waterat that place.
