The City of New York.
New York City, the first city of the
Western Hemisphere in popnlation,
wealth, and commerce, and destined
to be the metropolis of the civilized
world, is situated on Manhattan Island,
fifteen miles in length, and from one
to two miles in breadth. On the
west is the Hudson river, and on
the east the East river, which latter
is in fact only a strait connecting
the Atlantic Ocean and Long Island
sound ; the northern boundary of
the island is formed by the Har¬
lem river and Spuyten Duyvil creek,
two names for different portions of
the same narrow creek, which unites
the Hudson river with the East river.
At the southern extremity of Manhat¬
tan island is the Bay of New York,
universally acknowledged to be one of
the finest harbors in the world. Stand¬
ing on the Battery and looking south¬
east, the view is one of exceeding
beauty, as well as of unsurpassed bustle
and activity. Directly in front of the
spectator, and about two-thirds of a
mile from the city, is Governor's Island,
a nearly circular piece of land, about
half a mile in circumference, and con¬
taining seventy-two acres of land. It
belongs to the Federal Government,
who use it as a military station. It is
a beautiful spot, sloping on all sides
towards the water. Fort Columbus
occupies the centre of the island,
mounting 120 heavy guns. Castle
William, a circular tower, sixty feet in
height, and 600 feet in circumference,
is on the north-west border of the
island. It has three tiers of port-holes,
and is well supplied with cannon. A
battery on the south-west part com¬
mands Buttermilk channel, between
the island and Long Island. A garri¬
son is constantly kept up here. To
visit this island, go to the South Ferry,
at the foot of Whitehall street, and take
passage in a small boat, numbers of
which are constantly in waiting for that
purpose. To the south-west, and about
one mile and a half from the Battery,
are Ellis and Bedlow's Islands, both
of which are strongly fortified. Five
and a half miles southward is the
beautiful Staten Island, dotted from
end to end with elegant residences
and tasteful grounds and gardens.
Looking eastward, the spectator be¬
holds the city of Brooklyn, sitting
proudly on its far-famed heights,
and westward the Jersey shore, with
Jersey City to the northward. With
such natural beauty of location and
remarkable facilities for commerce,
what wonder that New York should
have distanced all its competitors
on the Atlantic coast of the new
world ?
HISTOKICAL SKETCH.
Manhattan Island was first discover¬
ed by. Jean Verranzani, a skilful Flo¬
rentine navigator, whom Francis I.
had despatched in 1524 to explore the
coast of North America. As he did not
stop here, the honor of the discovery
of the island was awarded to Hendrick
Hudson, a navigator in the employ of
the Dutch East India Company, who,
in a yacht called the Half Moon, en¬
tered New York bay in the fall of 1609,
and subsequently sailed up the river
which now bears his name. The name
Manhattan is said to signify " the place
where we all got drunk," and to have
been bestowed upon the island to com¬
memorate the festivities which took
place on the first reception by the In¬
dians of the white explorers under
Hendrick Hudson. (It is not impos¬
sible that more recent visitors to the
city may have recollections of con¬
vivialities of a similar nature.) The
Dutch claimed the new territory by
right of discovery ; and a few years later
a company was formed in Holland to
encourage emigration hither. In 1625,
a permanent settlement was made ; and
in 1626, Peter Minuit, the Director of
the New Amsterdam Company, pur¬
chased Manhattan Island for 60 guil¬
ders, or I24. On the 4th of April,
1652, a "burgher government " was
established, and the city was then
incorporated under the name of New
Amsterdam. Twelve years later the
English captured it and changed its
name to New York, in honor of the
Duke of York ; in 1673 it was recap¬
tured by the Dutch, and its name
changed to New Orange; but a year
later it reverted to the English by
treaty, who held it until 1783, when the
independence of the United States was
established. At this time the popula¬
tion of the city was 23,000. In 1789
Washington was inaugurated as first
President of the United States at the
old city hall, the site of the present
office of the assistant-treasurer of the
United States, Wall street, north-east
comer of Nassau street. Free schools
were established in the city in 1797,
and incorporated in 1805. In 1807
steam navigation was first accomplish¬
ed on the Hudson river ; the first
steam-ferry to Brooklyn was establish¬
ed in 1814 ; in 1817 the first regular line
of packet-ships to Liverpool was start¬
ed, and in 1819 the first savings-bank
was opened. Gas was introduced into
the city in 1825, and water from the
Croton river in 1842. The first clergy¬
man was Everardus Bogardus, and the
first schoolmaster was Adam Roeland-
sen, both of whom arrived from Hol¬
land in April, 1633. In this connection
is given the following table of census
returns of the population of the city
fi-om 1653 to 1865 :
1653 1,120
1661 1,743

The census returns of 1865 are uni¬
versally acknowledged to have been
inaccurate, and it is believed that the
present population of the city is at least
1,000,000.
TOPOGKAPHY-LOCATION OF
THE SISEEIS.
By referring to the map, the reader
will see that the lower end of the city is
very narrow, that the western shore
of the island is free from indentations,
while the eastern shore is quite irregu¬
lar. The island rapidly widens from the
Battery to Corlear's Hook, near the
foot of Grand street, where it is abdjlt
two miles wide. It maintains this
width to Harlem, eight and a half
miles from the Battery. Then it di¬
minishes to less than a mile in width
for the remainder of the distance to
Spuyten Dujwil creek, thirteen and a
half miles from the Battery. Broad¬
way, which begins at the Battery, runs
northward through the centre and
highest portion of the island, as far as
Tenth street, where it bends to the
westward, and finally runs close to
and nearly parallel with the Hudson
river bank. At Twenty-third street,
Fifth avenue crosses Broadway to the
east and continues in a straight line
along the centre of the island. On the
eastern side, commencing at the head
of Chatham square, and ending at
Fourth street, the main thoroughfare is
the Bowery, the widest street in the
city. Below Fourteenth street the
streets are somewhat irregularly laid
out, this being the older portion of
the city ; but above that point the
avenues and streets run at right-angles
to each other, the direction of the
former being nearly north and south,
and the latter east and west, from
river to river. From the commence¬
ment of Fifth avenue, at Waverly
place, the streets are numbered from
it in each direction, and are designated
East and West, according to their po¬
sition relative to the avenues, ^.f..
East Fourteenth street being that por¬
tion of the street between Fifth avenue
and the East river, and West Four¬
teenth that portion between Fifth
avenue and the Hudson river. Atten¬
tion is called to this statement, as it is
of especial interest to strangers, who,
in the event of losing their way, have
only to remember the facts mentioned
to ascertain their bearings at once.
BROADWAY.
It would be impossible, in a book of
the size of this, to take the reader
through a minute exploration of the
city, calling his attention to every point
of interest. Only the more prominent
can be mentioned, and perhaps the
best introduction for a traveller visiting
New York will be gained by a preli¬
minary walk or ride from the Battery
to Madison Square.
THE BATTERY,
Situated at the southern extremity of
the city, is a beautiful crescent-shaped
plot of ground, containing ten and a
half acres, and covered with large
shade-trees. It derives its name from
being the site of the battery and rave¬
lins of old Fort George. Years ago it
was a place of resort for the citizens ;
now it is little else than an emigrant
depot. On its edge stands Casde
Garden, originally a detached fort,
surrounded by water, and called Castle
Clinton, in honor of the first republican
governor of the State. It was built in
1807 by the Federal Government as a
fortification, and ceded to the city in
1823. Subsequently it was converted
into a nlace of amusement, and was the
opera-house of the city, and the scene
of Jenny Lind's first triumph in this
country. The grounds of the Battery
have been extended to it, and at pre¬
sent it is used as an emigrant depot,
where foreigners, landing in New York
and intending to settle at the west or
elsewhere, are provided with tickets
and started on their way without any
unnecessary expense, and are protected
from the swindling and thievery by
which they were beset in former years.
It is under the management of com¬
missioners appointed and paid by the
State. Nearly adjoining the Battery
on the north is
THE BOWLING GREEN,
A small enclosure, around which were
once the residences of the aristo¬
cracy. Prior to the Revolution it con¬
tained a leaden statue of George III.,
erected in 1770, which the people pa¬
triotically melted into bullets in July,
1776, Fronting this green, on the
west, was formerly the " King's Arms
Tavern," the headquarters of Gen.
Gage, the commander of the British
forces at the time of the breaking out
of the Revolution ; this tavern, it
may be added, was built on the
site of " Kriger's Tavern," the fash¬
ionable hotel of the earlier Dutch
settlers.
TRINITY CHURCH.
The next building of special public
interest is Trinity Church, on Broad¬
way, at the head of Wall street. The
corporation is the richest and one of
the oldest in the United States. In
1696 an Episcopal Church was erect¬
ed upon tire site of the old Trinity,
which was enlarged in 1735, and again
in 1737. In 1776 it was consumed in
the great conflagration of that year, and
rebuilt in 1790; the new church was
torn down in 1839, the present im¬
posing edifice begun ; it was finished
in 1846. The structure is 192 feet long,
80 feet wide, with walls 60 feet high ;
the height of the tower and spire is 284
feet Visitors may ascend by an easy
stairway to the height of 250 feet, where
a commanding view of the city and
bay can be obtained.
H ST. PAUL'S CHAPEL.
Still strolling along, we come to St.
Paul's Chapel, on the western side of
Broadway, between Fulton and Vesey
streets. It was built in 1766 ; its length
is 151 feet, its width, 73 feet, and its
steeple is 203 feet high. In a niche
in the fi-ont of the church is a white
marble statue of St. Paul, and in the
front part of the niche is a slab to the
memory of Gen. Montgomery, who fell
at Quebec, and whose remains were re¬
moved to this city in 1818. Directly
opposite St. Paul's Chapel is the new
building erected and occupied by the
New York Herald. It was opened
for occupancy on the ist of May, 1867.
THE BROADWAY BRIDGE.
Spanning Broadway at its intersec¬
tion with Fulton street, is the Broad¬
way Bridge, a graceful structure erected
in the early part of 1867. Its cost was
$i5jOOO, and it was open to the public
for the first time May i6, 1867. As the
first bridge of its kind in the country, it
has an interest aside firom its intrinsic
value to the public.
THE CITY HALL PARK.
We have now reached the City Hall
Park, or the Park, as it is usually call¬
ed, since, next to the Battery, it was the
first enclosure of its kind on the island.
Until 1780 it was without the limits of
the city, aiid was called the " Com¬
mons," or the " Fields." It was here
that the first brigade of the American
army was assembled to hear the decla¬
ration of independence, July 9, 1776.
As may be seen by the map, it is nearly
triangular in shape, and bounded by
Park Row and Centre street on the
east. Chambers street on the north, and
Broadway on the west. It covers
about ten acres, and in it are the City
Hall, the new Court House, the Hall
of Records, and the Rotunda. At the
lower end of the Park the new post-
office is to be built. During the war,
large barracks for the accommodation
of soldiers passing through the city
were erected in this enclosure.
. THE CITY HALL.
This is the southernmost building in
the park, and is one of the finest speci¬
mens of architectural beauty in the
country. It was nine years in building,
and was finished in 1810 at a cost of
$583'734- It is 2i6 feet long, 105
broad, and 65 high. At the celebra¬
tion of the completion of the first At¬
lantic Telegraph, in 1858, the clock-
tower was consumed by fire, but was
speedily replaced. The mayor has his
office in this building, and here the
boards of Aldermen and Councilmen
hold their regular meetings. A special
place of interest to strangers is tlie
Governor's room, on the second story,
wherein may be found portraits of
many distinguished statesmen, and the
desk on which Washington wrote his
first message to Congress. In the
aldermen's chamber are the chairs
used in the first Congress, and in the
mayor's room is the chair in which
Washington was inaugurated first Pre¬
sident of the United States. North¬
west of the City Hall is the
NEW COURT-HOUSE,
The eastern wing of which was opened
for the first time in the spring of 1867
for the accommodation of the Court of
Appeals, the highest tribunal in the
State, which for several years previous
had sat in Albany. This building, be¬
gun in 1861, is 350 feet long, and 150
feet wide, and when completed will be
surmounted by a dome 170 feet high.
Its estimated cost was $1,500,000, but
more than that sum has already been
expended upon it. When completed,
it will be one of the finest buildings in
the city. A little to the east of the
New Court-House is the
HALL OF RECORDS,
A stone building, originally the city
prison, then (1B32) a cholera hospi¬
tal, and subsequently remodelled for
its present uses." The British once
used this as a provost jail for the con¬
finement of American prisoners cap¬
tured in this vicinity. Here Nathan
Hale was incarcerated prior to his exe¬
cution on the site of what is now the
United States Marshalls office in
Chambers street, directly in the rear
of the Park. The next building of
interest is
THE ROTUNDA,
A circular edifice, just south of the
north-east angle of the Park, which is
occupied by the Croton Aqueduct De¬
partment. It is 54 feet in diameter,
and was erected in 1818 by John
Vandeilyn, the noted painter, for
the exhibition of panoramas. Upon
his leaving this country, to reside in
Europe, the building was purchased by
the city. The two brown stone build¬
ings in the rear of the Rotunda are
occupied by sundry courts, and muni¬
cipal officers.
THE BUILDINGS AROUND
THE PARK,
Are of quite as much interest as those
within it, mainly by reason of the his¬
torical associations which cluster about
the grounds upon which they stand.
The triangular block bounded by Park
Row, Beekman and Nassau streets, is
the site of the old Brick Church. The
church was erected in 1767, was used
by the British soldiers as a prison, and
subsequently as a hospital, in 1776; it
was torn down a few years since, and
the congregation erected a new edifice
on Fifth avenue, corner of Thirty-
seventh street. The site of the old
Brick Church is now occupied by the
Times and buildings, and just
above them, on Printing House square,
are the Tribune building, and on Park
Row, between Beekman and Ann
streets, was the old Park Theatre.
This was built in 1798, burned in 1820,
rebuilt and reopened within a year af¬
terwards, and again burned in 1849,
when its site was covered with ware¬
houses ; it was the theatre of the city in
its day, and was the scene of the first
performance of the Italian opera in
this country, in 1825. At the corner
of Ann street and Broadway, where
now stands the new Herald building,
was the old American Museum, the
first marble-front structure erected in
the city ; it was built in 1824, in 1840
was purchased by P. T. Barnum, and
was burned in 1865. The Astor House,
occupying the entire block on Broad¬
way between Vesey and Barclay streets,
was built nearly thirty years ago, and
for a long time was the leading hotel in
the city, and was always the favorite
stopping-place of Daniel Webster. On
the upper comer of Broadway and
Barclay street was the American hotel,
a noted public house, but used for
business purposes many years prior to
its destruction by fire in 1865. The
elegant free stone front building,
which was built in 1866 upon the site,
is occupied by the North America
Life Insurance Company, and other
offices. At the north-east comer of
Broadway and Chambers street is
Stewarts marble store, now used ex¬
clusively for the wholesale branch of
Mr. Stewart's business. In olden
times the site was the negro burial-
ground of the city. Directly opposite,
on Broadway, was the Irving House,
for a long time the hotel of the city ; a
portion of the old hotel building is now
occupied by one of the four restaurants
kept by the Delmonico brothers, whose
fame has extended not only over the
United States, but to England as well,
and within two years a restaurant com¬
pany has been incorporated in London
under the name of the " Delmonico
Restaurant Company."
FROM THE PARK TO UNION
SQUARE.
As we continue our walk up Broad¬
way, the first object of interest above
the City Hall Park is the New York
Hospital, on the western side of the
street, between Duane and Worth
streets. Its corner-stone was laid
September 12, 1773, but before the
building was completed it was partially
consumed by fire ; in 1783 the British
used it for ban-acks for their soldiers,
and it was not until 1791 that it was
formally opened as a hospital. In 1807
a Lunatic Asylum was erected on the
Hospital grounds, but in 1821 the pa¬
tients were removed to a new building
at Bloomingdale. This hospital is ad¬
mirably conducted, though the funds
at its control are small in amount.
The grounds upon which it stands are
immensely valuable, and if sold the
proceeds would support an extensive
institution, which might be erected
further up town. Some provision,
however, is needed in this crowded
part of the great city for prompt atten¬
tion to cases of accidents, and when
transportation to any considerable dis¬
tance might prove hazardous. On the
other side of Broadway, between Pearl
and Worth streets, and nearly opposite
the City Hospital, stood the Broad¬
way Theatre, the scene of Edwin
Forrest's earlier triumphs in this city ;
and on the block above, on the same
side of the street, was the old Taber¬
nacle, in which, for so many years,
were held great religious meetings.
Both these places are now gone, and
their places occupied by stores. The
large brown stone building on the
north-western corner of Broadway and
Franklin street, now the office of the
Merchants' Union Express Co., was,
until 1866, the Inter7iational Hotel,
of which the ground floor and basement
were occupied by Taylor's Saloon,
first opened in 1853, simultaneously
with the Ciystal Palace. Between
Broome and Spring streets, on the
western side of Broadway, is the St,
Nicholas Hotel, erected in 1854 at a
cost of $1,000,000 ; and the large brown
stone building on the eastern side, be¬
tween Prince and Houston streets, is
the Metropolitan Hotel, which was
built at a cost of $800,000. It contains
twelve mfles of gas and water-pipes.
The large iron building on the south¬
eastern corner of Broadway and Tenth
street, bearing no sign whatever, is
Stewart's retail store, and the impos¬
ing white marble edifice directly across
Tenth street, is Grace Church. It was
built in 1845, and cost $145,000, an
enormous sum for that time.
UNION SQUARE.
A few steps more bring us to Union
Square, bounded by East Fourteenth
street on the south. Fourth avenue on
the east. East Seventeenth street on
the north, and Broadway on the west.
In the centre of the square is Union
Park, an oval enclosure, filled with
trees, and containing a beautiful foun¬
tain. The imposing equestrian statue
of Washington in the south-eastern
part of the square is the work of Mr.
H. K. Brown, of Brooklyn. It is
fourteen feet high, and mounted on a
granite pedestal of the same height.
Its cost was $30,000, which sum was
contributed by forty-six gentlemen of
this city. The statue weighs four tons,
and the metal of which it is made, con¬
sists of eighty-eight parts of copper,
nine of tin, two of zinc, and one of
lead. The white marble building on
the corner of Broadway and East
Fifteenth street is the Church of the
Puritans, of which Dr. Geo. B. Cheever
was for many years the pastor ; but in
7
1867 it was sold for business purposes.
The yellow building on Seventeenth
street, two doors east of Broadway, is
the Union League Club House, and
that on the north-west corner of Seven¬
teenth street and Fourth avenue is the
Everett House. Still continuing up
Jroadway, we come to
MADISON SQUARE,
Bounded on the south by East Twenty-
third street, on the east by Madison
avenue, on the north by East Twenty-
sixth street, and on the west by Fifth
avenue and Broadway, which two latter
thoroughfares here cross, as has already
been noted. This is one of the newest
public squares in the city, having been
as late as 1845 an open common ; it
covers ten acres. The Fifth Avenue
Hotel, which occupies the entire block
on Broadway between Twenty-third
and Twenty-fourth streets, is built
on the site of the famous hippo¬
drome, which was opened in 1853.
A fine ornament to the square is
the monument to Gen. Worth, erect¬
ed at the intersection of Broad¬
way, Fifth avenue, and Twenty-fourth
street. On the corner of Madison
avenue and T wenty-fourth street is
the Madison Square Presbyterian
Church, Rev. Wm. Adams, D.D.,
pastor. The white marble structure
on the south-east corner of Madison
avenue and Twenty-sixth street is the
American Jockey Club house, built by
Mr. Leonard W Jerome.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
A number of the leading public
buildings in New York City have al¬
ready been noted ; there remain, how¬
ever, others of equal importance. We
begin with the
CUSTOM HOUSE,
Which occupies the old Merchants'
Exchange, having been purchased by
the Federal Government during the
late war for $1,000,000. It is located
on the block bounded by Wall, Wil¬
liam and Hanover streets, and Ex¬
change place. The building, which
was erected upon the site of the Ex¬
change that was burned in 1835, is
200 feet long by 171 wide; its height
is 77 feet to the cornice, and 124
feet to the top of the dome. On
the front is a portico in which are
eighteen Grecian columns, 38 feet
high, and 4^ feet in diameter at the
base, each of which is formed from
a single block of granite, and weighs
about forty-five tons ; their cost was
$5S,ooo ; that of the building, including
the ground, was |i,800,000. Open to
visitors from 8 a.m. to s p.m.
THE U. S. TREASURY AND
ASSAY OFFICE,
On the corner of Wall and Nassau
streets, and running through to Pine
street, is a massive white marble build¬
ing, 200 feet long, 80 feet wide, and 80
feet high, which is modeled after the
Parthenon at Athens. At either end
is a portico supported by eight Doric
columns, 32 feet high, and 5 feet 10
inches in diameter. The cost of the
building and the ground on which it
stands was $1,195,000. Open to visi¬
tors from id a.m. to 3 p.m.
THE POST-OFFICE.
This was formerly the Middle Dutch
Church, and was finished in 1726, three
years having been occupied in building
it. lu 1776 the British tore out the
pews and used them for fuel, prepara¬
tory for the confinement of American
prisoners ; when no longer needed for
that piupose they converted it into a
riding-school for their cavalry. In
1784 it was refitted as a church, and
continued unaltered until 1844, when it
was purchased by the United States
Government for a post-office, for which
it will be used until the new post-office
at the lower angle of the City Hall
Park is erected. The present location
is on Nassau street, between Liberty
and Cedar streets.
Office Hours.—The post-office is
open continuously night and day, ex¬
cept on Sundays^ when it is open from
g to id a.m., and from 123^ to iX P-M-
The Money Order Department is en¬
tered from Cedar street, and is open
from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on week days.
There are five deliveries each day by
carriers. Collections are made from
each and every lamp-post box (585 in
number) six times a day. On Sunday
but one collection is made at 8.15 a.m.

THE STOCK EXCHANGE.
The new Stock Exchange is a mag¬
nificent white marble building on the
western side of Broad street, just south
of Wall street ; it runs through to New
street, and has an L-fronting on Wall
street. It was opened in 1866, and is
acknowledged to be the finest building
for the purpose in the country.
THE HALLS OF JUSTICE AND
CITY PRISON.
This building, fronting on Centre
street, covers the entire block bounded
by Centre, Leonard, Elm, and Frank¬
lin streets, and was completed in 1838.
It is of Maine granite, and in the Egyp¬
tian order of architecture. From its
gloomy appearance it is popularly
known as "the Tombs." Its form
is that of a hollow square ; in the front
are police court-rooms, and fronting on
the square within are cells to the num¬
ber of 173. There is a wing from the
main prison which is used as a prison
for females. Within this enclosure
State criminals convicted in this city
of capital offenses are executed. The
building is open to visitors from 10
a.m. to 3 p.m.
THE POLICE HEADQUAR¬
TERS.
This building, situated on Mulberry
street, between Houston and Bleecker
streets, and running through to Mott
street, was occupied December ig,
1862 ; it is 70 feet wide by 187 feet
deep, and is five stories high. It is
of Westchester white marble, and of
a simple style of architecture. It con¬
tains rooms for the Police Commis
sioners, the General Superintendent,
the Detective force, a room for the trial
of policemen, and all the conveniences
necessary for the centrál office of the
Metropolitan Police. In the basement
are a number of cells in which prison¬
ers are temporarily confined.
THE ASTOR LIBRARY
Is situated on the eastern side of La¬
fayette place, near Astor place. The
late John Jacob Astor founded it with
an endowment of ¿400,000, which sum
has been materially increased by his
son, William B. Astor. It contains
over 100,000 volumes, many of which
are very rare, and is open to all per¬
sons over sixteen years of age, for
eo7isultation only^ from 10 a.m. to
p.m. in summer, and 4 in winter.
THE MERCANTILE LIBRARY.
The library of the Mercantile Li¬
brary Association, founded in 1820, is
located in Astor place, at the junction
of Eighth street, a few steps east of
Broadway. It was formerly located
in Nassau street, but a few years since
the Association purchased the Astor
Place Opera-House for ¿140,000. This
was the scene of the Astor-place riot,
in May, 1849, on the occasion of the
performance of "Macbeth," by the
English tragedian, Macready. The
reading-room of the Association is the
best, and the library one of the largest
in the city : both are open to all per¬
sons upon the payment of a small sura
annually—three dollars by clerks, and
five dollars by all others.
THE COOPER UNION
Occupies the block bounded by St.
Mark's place (Eighth street), Fourth
avenue, Seventh street, and Third
avenue. It was erected by Peter
Cooper, Esq., a few years since, at
a cost of ¿630,000, and is under the
control of a Board of Directors. It
contains a very la,rge and well sup¬
plied reading-room, a library, art gal¬
lery, and a number of instruction and
lecture rooms, all of which are free to
all who choose to avail themselves of
the advantages therein offered. A por¬
tion of the building is rented for stores,
and one large hall and several small
ones are let for public meetings ; the
annual income from these sources is
about ¿50,000. The building is of
brown stone, and is five stories high.
In the building are the rooms of the
AMERICAN INSTITUTE,
Incorporated May 2, 1829, for the pur¬
pose of encouraging and promoting
domestic industry in this State and in
the United States, and in disseminat¬
ing useful knowledge relative to agri¬
culture, commerce, manufactures, and
the arts and sciences. Annual fairs,
on a grand scale, are held in this
city, and large sums of money dis¬
tributed in the form of premiums,
medals, etc. This important Asso¬
ciation has become identified witli
the growth and prosperity of tihe
city, and its usefulness is likely to
be largely augmented by a move¬
ment now on foot to raise a large
amount of money by subscription
among the liberal capitalists of the
city. It has become the nucleus of
several scientific departments, and has
a section of Agriculture, and another
of Machinery and the Arts and Sci¬
ences, called the Polytechnic Associa¬
tion. Regular weekly meetings of
great interest are held by the former
on Tuesday afternoons, and by the
latter on Thursday evenings, at the
rooms in the Cooper Union Building.
Strangers are invited to attend. Ad-
mission free. Recently a section of
Photography has been added, which
will hold weekly meetings.
THE BIBLE HOUSE,
Occupying the block bounded by
Fourth avenue, Ninth street, Third
avenue and Stuyvesant street, was
erected by the American Bible Society,
at a cost of about $300,000. Here are
printed all the Bibles and Testaments
which bear the imprint of this Society.
In tliis spacious building are the rooms
of a number of the leading religious
benevolent societies, which have their
headquarters in New York.
N. Y. HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
This institution, founded in 1804,
erected a few years since a very taste¬
ful edifice, on the south-eastern corner
of Second avenue and Eleventh street.
It has a very valuable library (open to
members for consultation only), and a
fine-art gallery. The society owns
and has on exhibition, in its building,
the Bryan Collection of the old mas¬
ters, the Abbott Collection of Egyp¬
tian Curiosities, and the Crawford
Marbles. The building is not open to
the general public, but strangers can
visit it by obtaining a note of introduc¬
tion from a member of the society.
THE SOCIETY LIBRARY,
the oldest public library in the United
States, is situated on the eastern side
of University place, between Twelfth
and Thirteenth streets. It was incor¬
porated in 1700, under the name of
" The Public Library of New York,"
which name was changed to " The
New York Society Library " in 1754.
The library is open from 8 a. m. until
sunset, and the reading room until
10 p. M. Only members are admitted
to the privileges of the institution.
NATIONAL ACADEMY OF
DESIGN.
This building, on the north-western
comer of Twenty-third street and
Fourth avenue, was opened in 1865.
Its peculiar style of architecture, cop¬
ied from a building on the Rialto, in
Venice, makes it an object of interest
to all strangers. In it are held, twice
a year, exhibitions of the works of the
artists of the National Academy of
Design, at which times the building is
open to all visitors. The cost of the
building was about $150,000.
BELLEVUE HOSPITAL
Occupies the main portion of the area
bounded by East Twenty-sixth street,
First avenue, East Twenty-eighth
street, and the East river. It is un¬
der the charge of the Commissioners
of Charities and Correction. It may
be visited daily, from ii a.m. to 2 p.m.
In 1866 a Morgue, or Dead-House,
modeled after the Morgue in Paris,
was opened in connection with it,
where dead bodies that are found are
taken. These bodies are kept seventy-
two hours, and if not identified at the
expiration of that time are buried.
EDUCATIONAL INSTITU¬
TIONS.
Under this title are included only
chartered institutions, thus, of course,
excluding the public schools, for which
New York city is justly celebrated.
The first to be mentioned, as it is the
oldest, is
COLUMBIA COLLEGE.
This institution, chartered by George
II., in 1754, stood on a hill in what is
now Park place until a few years since,
when it was removed to the old Deaf
and Dumb Asylum building, East Fif¬
tieth street, between Fourth and Fifth
avenues. It was originally called
King's College, which name was
changed to Columbia College in 1781.
The corporation has become very
wealthy from the enormous advance
in the value of the real estate which it
has owned for many years. Its present
location is regarded as temporary, it
being the design of the corporation to
erect, at no distant day, a number of
buildings worthy of the name and fame
of the college.
COLUMBIA COLLEGE LAW
SCHOOL.
This school, opened in 1S58, has
met with remarkable success, and now
ranks with the first institutions of the
kind in the country. As evidence of
its prosperity, it may be stated that
the first class to graduate from it num¬
bered nine, while that of 1867 num¬
bered seventy-seven.
THE UNIVERSITY OF THE
- CITY OF NEW YORK
Is located on the eastern side of Wash¬
ington square, between Washington
and Waverley places. The building is
of the Gothic order of architecture,
and measures r8o by 100 feet. The
institution was incorporated in 1831,
and the edifice was completed in 1836.
THE COLLEGE OF THE CITY
OF NEW YORK,
Until recently called the New York
Free Academy, was established in
1848, by the Board of Education, in
pursuance of an act passed by the Le¬
gislature the year previous. It occu¬
pies a handsome edifice in East Twen¬
ty-third street, corner of Lexington
avenue, which, with the furniture, ap¬
paratus, &c., cost nearly ^150,000.
The institution is open to all graduates
from the public schools of the city, free
of all expense to the students. It was
the first and is still the only institution
of the kind in the country.
COLLEGE OF ST. FRANCIS
XAVIER.
This college, under the charge of
the Jesuits, was founded in 1850, and
is situated in West Fifteenth street,
between Fifth and Sixth avenues.
N. Y. COLLEGE OF PHYSI¬
CIANS AND SURGEONS.
This institution, founded in 1791,
and chartered in 1801, is located on
the north-eastern corner of Fourth
avenue and East Twenty-third street,
and is in a very prosperous condition.
UNIVERSITY MEDICAL COL¬
LEGE.
The building occupied by this insti¬
tution was destroyed at the great fire
in 1866 with the Academy of Music.
A valuable library and cabinet, and
the large collection of anatomical pre¬
parations contributed by the late dis¬
tinguished Dr. Valentine Mott, were
destroyed. The college is temporarily
located in the N. Y. Hospital building
on Worth street, near Church street.
Besides the above mentioned there
are several
OTHER MEDICAL COLLEGES,
which space will only permit us to give
the names and locations.
Bcllevjte Hospital Medical College.,
foot East Twenty-sixth street.
College of Pharmacy of the City of
New York, at N. Y. University.
Hahnetnann Academy of Medi¬
cine, 105 Fourth avenue.

cal Seminary (New School Presbyte¬
rian), incorporated in 1836, and lo¬
cated at No. 9 University place ; the
General Theological Seminary (Prot¬
estant Episcopal), West Twentieth
street, corner of Ninth avenue ; and
the Seminary of St. Francis Xavier
(Roman Catholic), West Fifteenth
street, between Fifth and Sixth ave¬
nues.
CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS.
Whatever may be said of the vices
of New York—and it has its full share
of them—the stranger cannot fail to
note the great number of charitable
institutions in the city. Some of the
principal of these will be briefly de¬
scribed.
N. Y. LUNATIC ASYLUM,
Located at Bloomingdale, a little
south of Manhattanville, between One
Hundred and Fifteenth and One Hun¬
dred and Twentieth streets, and be¬
tween Tenth and Eleventh avenues.
It is conveniently reached by the Hud¬
son River Railroad. (See " Walling's
Hudson River Route Guide.") The
grounds include about forty acres,
with trees, walks, shrubbery and flow¬
ers, laid out in a tasteful and pictu¬
resque manner, the utmost regard be¬
ing paid in all the arrangements of the
institution and its surroundings to
make it a pleasant home for its unfor¬
tunate inmates. A visit to this insti¬
tution will well repay the tourist or
philanthropist. The scenery in the
vicinity is very beautiful, and there
are many other objects of interest.
Applications for admission of patients
should be addressed to the Physician
of the New York Lunatic Asylum,
Manhattanville Post-office, New York.
(Dr. D. T. Brown acts in that capacity
at present.) Letters or packages for
patients or other inmates may be left
at the New York Hospital, Broadway,
New York, and they will be duly for¬
warded.
N. Y. ORPHAN ASYLUM.
This noble institution is beautifully
situated on the bank of the Hudson
River, between Seventy-third and Sev¬
enty-fourth streets, and between the
Bloomingdale road and the river. It
commands a fine view of the river and
surrounding scenery. Its grounds oc¬
cupy about nine acres. The building,
erected in 1840, is of stone, in Gothic
style, one hundred and twenty feet
long, fifty feet wide, and three stories
in height. It contains accommoda¬
tions for two hundred orphans. In
1806 a " Society for the Relief of Poor
Widows with Small Children " was
organized by Mrs. Isabella Graham,
Mrs. Elizabeth Hamilton (widow of
Gen. Alexander Hamilton, killed in a
duel at Weehawken, by Aaron Burr),
and Mrs. Joanna Bethune. Addition¬
al contributions and bequests were
subsequently made, and in 1807 the
present institution was incorporated.
Visitors are very kindly received by
the obliging matron, and cannot fail
to be strongly interested in the suc¬
cessful administration of this admira¬
ble charity.
LEAKE AND WATTS' OR¬
PHAN HOUSE.
Named for the original founders. It
is located between One Hundred and
Eleventh and One Hundred and
Twelfth streets, and Ninth and Tenth
avenues. The main building and its
wings are two hundred and six feet in
length, and the grounds cover twenty-
six acres. It has an income capable
of supporting from two hundred to
two hundred and fifty children. It is
well conducted, and open to visitors.
INSTITUTION FOR THE DEAF
AND DUMB.
This noble institution is situated
on Washington Heights, near the
Carmanville station of the Hudson
River Railroad. (See Walling's Hud¬
son River Route Guide.) The build¬
ing is in the form of a hollow square.
The front or main building is one
hundred and fifty feet long by fifty-
five feet wide, and four stories high,
including the basement. The wings
at each end are one 'hundred and
twenty by forty-six feet, and the
school-house, in the rear, one hun¬
dred and fifty by eighty-five feet,
completes the square. It is capable
of accommodating two hundred to
three hundred pupils, and is one of the
most liberally endowed charitable in¬
stitutions in the State. Indigent deaf
mutes are supported here at the ex¬
pense of the State ; others pay a mod¬
erate sum for board and tuition. Dr.
Peet, the Superintendent, has an hon¬
orable reputation for ability and good
management. The institution is open
for visitors from 1.30 to 4 p.m. every
day except Sunday.
INSTITUTION FOR THE
BLIND.
The grounds of this institution oc¬
cupy the entire block between Thirty-
third and Thirty-fourth streets, and
Eighth and Ninth avenues. The
building is of granite, in the castellat¬
ed Gothic style of architecture, and
cost about $95,000, which was partly
raised by private donations, and the ba¬
lance by legislative appropriation. A
certain number of indigent pupils are
supported and educated gratuitously.
Others at a moderate charge. Visitors
are received from one to six p.m. Cars
run on both avenues, starting from
Broadway near the City Hall Park ;
and omnibuses from the South ferry
pass up Broadway to Twenty-third
street, and thence to and up Eighth
avenue.
FIVE POINTS HOUSE OF IN¬
DUSTRY.
Five Points was formerly the centre
of the vilest and most squalid section of
the city. The House of Industry is lo¬
cated at 155,157, and 159 Worth street,
a little east of Broadway, in what was
once the worst part of this plague-
spot of the city. The building is fifty-
four feet wide and seven stories high,
and has constantly from loo to 200
inmates, many of whom are rescued
from their vicious courses, and from
time to time sent to good homes in the
country. Daily religious services are
held morning and evening. Visitors
always welcome.
FIVE POINTS MISSION.
Another institution of similar cha¬
racter, under the management of the
Ladies' Home Missionary Society of

tenements for twenty families. Reli¬
gious services three times on Sundays,

PUBLIC PARKS.
In addition to the Battery, Bowhng
Green, City Hall Park, and Union and
Madison squares, of which descrip¬
tions have already been given, there
remain ten others, exclusive of the
Central Park, to which the attention of
visitors to the city should be called.
ST. JOHN'S PARK.
It may seem to be a solecism to call
this a park, since, in 1867, it was sold
to Cornelius Vanderbilt, President of
the Hudson River Railroad Company,
and a freight-depot for that railroad is
now being built upon it, but its fine
large trees are so familiar to New
Yorkers that it would be wrong to ex¬
clude it from the list This plot of
ground is bounded by Hudson, Beach,
Varick, and Laight streets, and was
originally the property of Trinity
Church, though each owner of pro¬
perty about it had an interest in it
The price paid for the park was
|i,ooo,ooo, and it may be stated here
as a curious fact that on the day that
Mr. Vanderbilt purchased it he drew
a single check for the whole amount,
and deposited it to be divided propor¬
tionally among the owners of the
square. Since the purchase, all the
trees have been cut down, and work¬
men are busily engaged in building a
new freight-depot.
WASHINGTON SQUARE. "
Bounded by Waverly place, Macdou-
gal. Fourth, and Wooster streets, and
containing 9X acres, is one of the larg¬
est of the older public parks of New
York. In the early part of the present
century it was set apart for the Potter's
Field, and was used for that purpose
until 1832, when it was converted into
a park. It is estimated that 125,000
bodies rest within its limits. For years
it was the most aristocratic portion of
the city, as the style of the houses
around it still attests. At present,
however, it is decidedly "down-town,"
and may yet be sold like St. John's
Park.
TOMPKINS SQUARE.
This is bounded by avenues A and
B, and Seventh and Tenth streets.
Formerly it was used solely as a parade-
ground, but is now a pleasant place of
resort for the people who live on the
extreme eastern side of the city.
STUYVESANT SQUARE.
This is a portion of old Peter Stuyve-
sant's farm, and was given to the city
by one of his descendants, on condi¬
tion of its being enclosed with a strong
iron fence. Its eastern and western
boundaries are respectively Stuyve-
sant place and Rutherford place, and
its northern and southern boundaries
are East Fifteenth and East Seven¬
teenth streets. The Second avenue
runs through it, thus dividing it into
two distinct parks.
GRAMERCY PARK,
Is a charming little square lying be¬
tween Third and Fourth avenues and
East Twentieth and East Twenty-first
streets. It is owned by the property
owners around it, each of whom contri¬
butes to keeping it in order. It is
strictly a private park, the gates being
always locked, and keys furnished to
only those who reside around it.
RESERVOIR SQUARE,
On Sixth avenue, between West For¬
tieth and West Forty-second streets, is
the site of the Crystal Palace, which
was destroyed by fire in 1858. Imme¬
diately adjacent to its eastern border
is the distributing reservoir of the Cro¬
tón water.
OTHER SQUARES.
The four remaning squares may be
dismissed with the mere mention of
their boundaries, as they are not yet
fully laid out. They are as follows :
—Hamilton square, situated between
East Sixty-sixth and East Sixty-ninth
streets, and Third and Fifth avenues;
Bloomingdale square, between Eighth
and Ninth avenues, and West Fifty-
third and West Fifty-seventh streets ;
Manhattan square, between Eighth
and Ninth avenues, and West Sev¬
enty-seventh and West Eighty-first
streets ; and Mount Morris square,
bounded north and south respectively
by One Hundred and Twenty-fourth
and One Hundred and Twentieth
streets, and extending on each side
of Fifth avenue.
CENTRAL PARK.
This, the great pleasure ground of the
city, covers the land bounded On the
south by West Fifty-ninth street, on
the east by Fifth avenue, on the north
by One Hundred and Tenth street, and
on the west by Eighth avenue. It is
two and a half miles long, about half a
mile wide, and contains 843 acres, in¬
cluding the two reservoirs. When work
was commenced upon it in 1858, it was
one of the most forbidding spots that
can be conceived, being little else than
a huge marsh, relieved here and there
by patches of trap rock, and utterly
destitute of natural beauty ; now it is as
attractive a spot as can be found in the
country, and is excelled by few parks of
its kind in the world. It contains about
fifteen miles of carriage roads, eight
miles of bridle paths, and twenty-five
miles of walks. No trade-carts or
wagons are allowed on its drives,
but by an ingenious device four streets
cross it from Fifth to Eighth avenue
under the park roads ; these streets
are Sixty-fifth, Seventy-ninth, Eighty-
fifth, and Ninety-seventh. There are
two ponds in the park, a small one
near the entrance at the intersection
of Fifth avenue and Fifty-ninth street.
and a large one, called "The Lake,"
between lines drawn through Seventy-
third and Seventy-eighth streets.—
Boats ply on these in the summer ;
and in the winter, when the ice is good,
they are open to skaters. At the lower
end, near Fifth avenue, is the old arse¬
nal, now used as an art gallery, and
a place for the animals during the
cold weather.
SPECIAL OBJECTS OF IN¬
TEREST.
With this general description of the
Central Park, the visitor is ready to be
informed of some of the objects of spe¬
cial interest within it. The first to be
mentioned is
THE MALL,
A spacious promenade, running due
north and south, and terminated on the
north by an attractive architectural
structure called the Terrace. On
either side of the mall is a beautiful
lawn, and on a pleasant Saturday af¬
ternoon, when the band is playing, it
is sure to be filled with people, while
the adjacent carriage-ways are crowded
with elegant equipages, the whole form¬
ing a spectacle to be witnessed nowhere
else in America.
THE TERRACE,
Is a series of steps leading from the
mall to the border of the main lake,
and is the most imposing specimen of
architecture in the park, and the finest
of its kind in the country. The view
from its upper part is unsurpassed. A
little to the right of the northern end of
the mall is
THE CASINO,
A restaurant, under the control of the
Park Commissioners. Nothing strong¬
er than malt liquors or light wines is
allowed to be sold here.
THE RAMBLE,
Is between the Lake and the lower
Reservoir, a portion of the Park de¬
voted entirely to walks, which are laid
out with skill and taste—hills and
dales, winding among rocks and caves,
shaded and bordered with forest-trees,
shrubbery and flowers.
THE RESERVOIRS.
There are two reservoirs in the Park,
the old one between Eightieth and
Eighty-fifth streets, and the new one a
few steps north of it. The capacity of
the former is 150,000,000 gallons ; that
of the latter is more than twice as
great. The new reservoir was first
used in 1862.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Besides these objects of interest,
there are also the playground, the
green, the flower-garden, and a num¬
ber of minor spots which the visitor
can hardly fail to notice. A special
feature of the Park are the archways
and bridges, of which there are over
thirty, and which are universally ad¬
mired for their architectural beauty ;
it should be added that no two of
them are alike.
HOW TO GO TO THE PARK.
To go from the eastern side of the
city, take the SeconcÄr Third avenue
cars, and stop at Sixty-fifth or Seventy-
ninth street, the former of which leads
to the " Green " and the latter to the
" Ramble." To go from the western
side of the city, take the Sixth, Sev¬
enth, or Eighth avenue cars, and stop
;8
at Fifty-ninth street, which forms the
lower boundary of the Park.
The Park is open every day in the
year as follows : During December,
January, and February, from 7 a.m.
to 8 p.m. ; during March, April, May,
June, October, and November, from 6
a.m. to 9 p.m. ; during July, August,
and September, from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m.
The best time to visit the Park, if
one would see the display of equip¬
ages, is after three o'clock in the after¬
noon. Carriages can be hired within
the Park for a reasonable sum, the
rate of fare being fixed by the Park
Commissioners. At four o'clock on
Saturday afternoons fine open-air con¬
certs are given by Dodworth's Band.
THE ISLANDS.
A guide-book of this character would
be incomplete without some notice of
the islands which cluster about New
York like satellites around a planet
Three have been mentioned, leaving
to be noticed Blackwell's Island,
Ward's Island, and Randall's Island.
BLACKWELL'S ISLAND,
A narrow strip of land, one and three-
quarter miles long, containing one
hundred and twenty acres, is situated
in the East River, and extends from
opposite East Forty-eighth to Eighty-
third street. The channel on either
side is quite deep, and navigable by
the largest vessels. On the island are
the following buildings, all under the
charge of the Commissioners of Chari¬
ties and Correction : Charity Hospital,
Small-pox Hospital, Fever Hospital,
Infant Hospital, Hospital for Incura¬
bles, Hospital for Epileptics, Hospital
for Paralytics, Penitentiary, Alms¬
house, Workhouse, and Lunatic Asy¬
lum. The island is kept in perfect
order, and will well repay one for the
trouble of visiting it.
WARD'S ISLAND,
Covering two hundred and twenty
acres, is situated at the junction of the
East and Harlem rivers, opposite One
Hundred and One Hundred and Four¬
teenth streets. It contains a hospital
for emigrants, and there is now erect¬
ing on it a lunatic asylum. Here, also,
is the Potter's Field, but the Commis¬
sioners have already asked permission
to purchase land elsewhere for this
use.
RANDALL'S ISLAND,
Is a short distance north of Ward's
Island. On it is a nursery, in which
children over two years old committed
to the Commissioners are placed and
kept until their parents or guardians
are able to provide for them. If not.
claimed, they are indentured, at a
suitable age, to respectable citizens, to
learn some useful pursuit. There are
now in the nursery 642 boys and 321
girls. A school for idiot children is
also located on this island.
HOW TO SEE THE ISLANDS;-
Persons desirous of visiting the
islands in the East river can obtain
permits upon application to the Com¬
missioners of Public Charities and
CoiTection, at their office, No. i Bond
street. The easiest way to obtain a
view of them is to take one of the
steamboats which leave Peck Slip
every hour for Harlem.
CEMETERIES.
The cemeteries where the myriad
dead of the great metropolis find their
last and final resting-place, are, with
one or two exceptions, located at a con¬
venient distance in the suburbs. These
are interesting places to visit, as they
indicate the growth in the noble senti¬
ments and refined taste which lead us
to honor and respect the memory of
those who have departed from us.
GREENWOOD.
The grounds of Greenwood, of all
our cemeteries the fir%t in importance,
in beauty of location and the adorn¬
ment of art, comprise four hundred
and ten acres. They are situated on
Gowanus Heights, Brooklyn, are un¬
dulating in surface, forming, even if
unadorned by art, the most romantic
and beautiful of burial-places. From
the breezy knolls which adorn its broad
area is obtained a view of the beautiful
bay of New York, the picturesque hills
of Staten Island and Bergen Heights,
the Narrows opening into the Atlan¬
tic, the distant ocean itself, from Sandy
Hook to Rockaway beach, and the
smoky and busy, but at this distance
noiseless emporium of the ever eager
and restless multitudes of the living.
No more enchanting spot could have
been selected for the great necropolis of
the city. Its vast extent of forest-trees,
its swelling hills, crested with luxuriant
shrubbery, its valleys, ridges, lanes,
and shady groves, the labyrinth of av¬
enues and lanes, broad carriage-ways
and footpaths turning among the hum¬
ble and unlettered graves, or lost in
thick mazes of sculptured stone, ren¬
der this home of the dead an attrac¬
tive resort. In the laying out of
these grounds the best artistic and
engineering talent has been employ¬
ed, and the result has been the
establishment, within the twenty-two
years during which Greenwood hits
been in existence, of a cemetery un¬
equalled by any other in the country
for beauty of plan and thorough excel¬
lence of the artistic adaptation of its
natural advantages to subserve its sol¬
emn purposes with the greatest effect
of beauty. The various avenues which
twine about the grounds in every im¬
aginable direction, penetrating the sha¬
dy groves, delving into the valleys,
and winding about the hills, are of a
total length of sixteen miles. This is
exclusive of the many small footpaths
which conduct to remote points of in¬
terest through valleys, over hill-tops,
or along the borders of the several
lakes with which the grounds are em¬
bellished.
The whole number of interments in
this cemetery from the time of its first
establishment, twenty-two years ago,
up to the 28th day of May, 1867, is
shown by the official records to have
been 125,721, making an average of
5,714 burials a year, about no a week,
or 15 a day throughout that time. The
whole number of burial lots sold up to
the 26th ult. was 17,408, and the finan¬
cial condition of the institution is
shown in the annual report to be as
flourishing as are its groves, walks,
drives, and well kept lots. All sums
received for lots are expended in im¬
proving the grounds. To visit this
cemetery, cross Fulton or South fer¬
ries, and take Greenwood cars. Fare,
six cents.
THE EVERGREENS.
The Cemetery of the Evergreens is
located iu the most easterly corner of
Brooklyn, and its grounds comprise
upwards of two hundred acres, lying in
Brooklyn, Newtown and New Lots.
It is very favorably situated, within
easy reach of Brooklyn by the main
lines of railway respectively from At¬
lantic, Fulton, and the South Seventh
street ferries. These grounds have
long been noted for their great beauty
and the solemn grandeur of the effects
produced by their romantic situation,
and the care with which art conduces
to the perfection of nature. The gate¬
ways, arches, buildings, and ornament¬
al work of the grounds are all in rustic
style, and present a remarkably unique
and pleasing appearance from this pe¬
culiarity. The monuments and pri¬
vate grounds within this enclosure are
/emarkable for unusual beauty, and
the latter especially for the good order
in which they are kept. Obelisks and
statues, shattered shafts and stately
tombs, at once adorn the scene and
give their solemn honors to the dead.
The avenues are broad, smooth, and
well kept ; the flowers spring up luxu¬
riantly on all sides over the sodded
graves and beside the tall monuments ;
and though the scene is bright with
nature's smiling features, the stately
trees cast a decorous gloom around, in
keeping with the solemn consecration
of the spot.
CYPRESS HILLS.
These grounds contain about four
hundred acres, and are situated a short
distance east of the Evergreens, and
just east of the Ridgewood Reservoir,
where the water is pumped up from
the aqueduct which supplies the city
of Brooklyn.
In the location of this cemetery re¬
markable good taste and apprecia¬
tion of the solemn grandeur of na¬
ture have been manifested. A large
tract of land, fertile and beautiful
in its natural state, presenting an ad¬
mirable diversity of hill and dale,
shady wood and flowery valley, con¬
stitutes this well kept domain of the
dead. Its site is a romantic range of
hills, or rather the salient points of a
long ridge on the Jamaica turnpike,
about frve miles from the Williams¬
burg ferries, over a direct and well
regulated road. The picturesqueness
and variety of its landscape, the com¬
manding view from its lofty eminences,
its cool, sequestered groves, and the
impressive solemnity of its forest shades
give it a character fully worthy of the
best intentions of its originators. To
visit it take city railroad cars from Ful¬
ton, South, and Williamsburg ferries.
WOODLAWN CEMETERY.
The location of these grounds is just
above Fordham, on the west bank of
the Bronx, about seven miles from
Harlem bridge. The cemetery is si¬
tuated on a swelling wooded ridge,
whose broad plateau and fertile sides
are thickly wooded, and fresh strewn
with graves and tombstones of unique
design and artistic finish. The ap¬
proach is by a winding carriage-way up
the hill-side, and passing through a
commanding gateway supported by a
fine stone lodge. Although the ceme¬
tery is only thr'"'i years old, it vies in
point of beauty and fine monuments
with the most celebrated and complete
of our older burial-places. It has al¬
ready, with the aid of art and enterpris¬
ing labor, brushed away the roughness
of nature, transformed the tangle of the
forest into the labyrinth of the cemetery.
and changed the unsightly swamps into
ornamental lakes, where drooping trees
and sombre waters lend their gloomy
impressiveness to the home of the dead.
There are about five thousand graves
already in these grounds, and many of
the monuments are splendid works of
art, in addition to their appropriateness
to the locality, and the solemn purpose
they subserve. To visit this cemetery
take Harlem Railroad cars, Fourth
avenue, corner East Twenty-sixth st.
(See WalHng's Harlem Railroad Route
Guide.)
NEW YORK BAY CEMETERY,
Located on the west bank of New
York bay, two and a half miles below
Jersey City, on a high ridge, sloping
gradually in a fertile stretch of land to¬
wards the waters of the bay, and afford¬
ing from every part a splendid view of
its verdant shores, busy traffic, and
the towering spires of the twin cities.
The grounds are reached either by the
cars, a well regulated plank-road, or by
steamer, a fine wharf having been built
for the accommodation of those desir¬
ing to avail themselves of this means
of conveyance during the summer
months, when the trip by water is
more convenient and pleasant
CALVARY CEMETERY.
This cemetery is very finely located
at Newtown, L. L, and distant two
and a half miles from the Tenth street
ferry. This is the principal, in fact the
only extensive burial-ground of our
Catholic population, although there
are several other similar institutions in
the immediate suburbs of Brooklyn.
Calvary is the property of the trustees
of St. Patrick's Cathedral in this city,
and contains about eighty acres of
land, laid out with the best view to
adaptation of the tract to its solemn
purposes. An officiating clergyman
resides on the ground, and attends the
needs of the numbers who daily seek
sepulture in these consecrated grounds.
The cemetery has been in existence
nineteen years, having been first open¬
ed in the year 1848 ; and since that
time it has been constantly improving
in beauty of appearance and the deco¬
rations of art.
TRINITY CHURCH CEME¬
TERY,
Between One Hundred and Fifty-third
and One Hundred and Fifty-fourth
streets and Tenth avenue and the
Hudson river, contains twenty-five
acres, and is tastefully laid out and
well kept. To visit it take Hudson
river cars to Carmansville station.
MOUNT OLIVET CEMETERY,
Situated near Maspeth, L. I.-, three
and a half miles from Grand and
Houston street ferries, contains about
fifty acres. It is well laid out, and
presents an agreeable diversity of sur¬
face. It is accessible by different roads
leading out from Williamsburg.
Besides the cemeteries above men¬
tioned, there are numerous smaller
ones in the city and its suburbs, belong¬
ing to different religious societies, etc.,
some of which are neat and well kept,
while others are gradually falling into
decay, and will probably be removed
ere long to more suitable locations, to
make way for the erection of build¬
ings, etc.

After a thorough trial of the American Polygrade Lead Pencils, "I find
them superior to any pencil in use, even to the F aber or the old English
Cumberland Lead Pencil, being a superior pencil for sketching, ornamen¬
tal and mechanical drawing, and all the ordinary uses of a lead pencil.
