as much as was needed for reguilding, & reestablishing themselves in business. Repayment was not to be thought of till the recovery of their affairs conveniently admitted of it.

On Sunday evening I attended a Service at Trinity Church, having been attracted by the exterior of the building which is a conspicuous object from some points in Michigan Avenue. I mention this because I observed a peculiarity in the means used for lighting it, which might occasionally be adopted with advantage in London, and large cities where sites are costly. I suppose the space was so confined by dwelling houses on the north & south sides that windows in the wall of the aisles were in-admissible?. This difficulty has be met boldly by enlarging the clesesotry? windows, & adding in the roof rows of quatre-foil sky-lights, filled with very dark stained glass. I sd have been glad to have seen the effect of this by daylight. Nine tenths of the congregation I saw in this Church that evening were Gentlemen, from which I inferred that the Service was intended mainly for the rougher sex.

What is conventionally regarded by us as the American type of features is not uncommon on the Eastern sea-bord, but is seldom seen in the West. The Clergyman whom I saw officiating in Trinity Church might have sate for the bust of a Greek Philosopher. He had a unclear head with much refinement about it; a lofty forehead, a straight nose, & a magnificent beard. He spoke in a manly & soldierly way of what he had unclear on the battle-fields of the late war.
