PREFACE. 
 
 The Cincinnati Exposition Guide, 
 For 1875, which we this day publish, is a work more unique, 
 than any of the kind that has hitherto appeared. It is illus- 
 trated more fully than any other work published on Cincin- 
 nati. It embraces a catalogue of all the departments of the 
 Exposition, a concise history of the City from its earliest set- 
 tlement to the present time, with a review of its location, 
 business, manufactories, etc., as well as a description of all 
 the principal buildings, and objects of interest. 
 
 We take this opportunity of expressing our grateful thanks 
 to all the Commissioners of the Exposition, as well as to the 
 Secretary, and especially to its President, Mr. John J. Hender- 
 son, for the facilities granted to us for the publication of the 
 work, they having freely given us all the information in their 
 possession in reference to the details of the Exposition. 
 
 We submit this work to the public, with a full assurance 
 that our labors will be appreciated, and that it will meet with 
 a commensurate sale. 
 
 We have not deemed it necessary to describe the various ex- 
 hibitions that took place in London and Paris, prior to the 
 great, and the first international exhibition that took place 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 in Hyde Park, Loudon, in 1S51, which was opened on the 1st 
 of May of that year, and which was the prelude to all the na- 
 tional aud international exhibitions that the world has since 
 witnessed. Suffice it to say, that since 1S51, exhibitions on a 
 grand scale have been held in Cork, Dublin, New York, 
 Paris, Manchester, Florence, and Vienna. 
 
 We are principally interested in the Expositions of Cincin- 
 nati, and successful as they have been in the past, we believe 
 the Exposition of 1S75 will be the grandest and most magnifi- 
 cent, that has been witnessed on the continent of America. 
 In writing this work we have spared no labor, and in its pub- 
 lication we have spared no expense, believing that a discern-' 
 ing public will not foil to appreciate a work that gives such 
 a faithful description of Cincinnati, and which is at the same 
 time the most complete guide to a National Exposition, ever 
 published in this country.

REVIEW 
 
 OF 
 
 CINCINNATI EXPOSITIONS. 
 
 ^lthough under the auspices of the Ohio Mechanic's 
 Institute, various exhibitions were held in Cincinnati, 
 of arts and manufactures, at various intervals since the year 
 1838, with more or less success, it was not until the year 
 1869, that anything was attempted, worthy to be called an ex- 
 hibition in the true sense of the word. But owing to the 
 grand success of the Paris International Exhibition of 1S67, 
 an impetus was given to such displays, giving as they do an 
 opportunity for manufacturers to exhibit the progress that is 
 made in the various departments of handicraft and industry 
 from year to year. It was owing principally to the energy of 
 Mr. G. W. Jones, that an exhibition of Textile Fabric's of 
 American manufacture was held in this city in the year 1S69. 
 It took place in the warehouse now occupied by Pearce, Tolle 
 & Holton, on Vine street, and at its close, all the goods exhib- 
 ited were disposed of by public auction. So marked was its 
 success, and so highly was it appreciated by our citizens, ex- 
 hibiting as it did such a marvellous progress in our manufac- 
 tures— so wonderful, as to astonish the men of trade and com- 
 merce throughout the country, that Major A. T. Goshorn, 
 (Director General of the Centennial Exposition at Philadel- 
 phia,) proposed in September 1S60, a resolution at the meet- 
 ing of the Board of Trade, calling for an exhibition on a 
 
REVIEW OF CINCINNATI EXPOSITIONS. 13 
 
 grand scale in the following year, and the resolution was 
 unanimously adopted. In 1870. 187 1, 1S72, 1S73 and 1S74, 
 national exhibitions have been held in Cincinnati; that held 
 last year, having been most unquestionably the largest, most 
 successful, and most magnificent ever held in the United 
 States. 
 
 It has been mainly owing to the energy displayed by the 
 Board of Trade, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Ohio 
 Mechanic's Institute, that the success of the Expositions that 
 have been held in past years has been assured. The Com- 
 missioners that have been elected year after year, have been 
 exceedingly well chosen, and the benefit of the experience 
 that their predecessors have had, has been freely given to 
 their successors. 
 
 Thev receive no remuneration for their services, but thev 
 are freely given, knowing that they will reap the highest re- 
 ward that can be given, the approbation and applause of 
 their fellow-citizens for duties faithfully performed. And con- 
 sidering the immense difficulties they have had at times to 
 encounter, which sometimes appeared almost insurmountable, 
 and the number of exhibitors whose wishes they had to grat- 
 ify, it is almost a miracle that every year they have given uni- 
 versal satisfaction, and gone out of office to receive that meed 
 of praise to which they were pre-eminently entitled, for their 
 indefatigable labor. But not only have the Chamber of Com- 
 merce, the Board of Trade, and the Ohio Mechanic's Insti- 
 tute, labored in the good cause; but the citizens of Cincinnati 
 have year after year, come forward in a noble manner, with 
 subscriptions for large amounts, to guarantee the success of 
 the annual exhibitions. Every Exposition has been an im- 
 provement on the preceding one, and greater perfection has 
 been the result, owing to the more complete classification of 
 the goods exhibited. 
 
14 REVIEW OF CINCINNATI EXPOSITIONS. 
 
 It has been acknowledged by the hundreds of thousands 
 who have visited Cincinnati, during these annual shows, that 
 it is not only in name, but in reality, the Queen of the West; 
 and they have been the means, the best means that could pos- 
 sibly have been devised, of advertising to the world the pe- 
 culiar advantages that Cincinnati possesses as a great manu- 
 facturing city. 
 
 The Exposition will be open to the public, from 9 A. M., 
 to 10 P. M., from September Sth to October 9th. 
 
 The buildings in which it is held are situated on the west 
 side of Elm, between Twelfth and Fourteenth streets, and 
 the Art Gallery is on the opposite side of the same street. 
 The space occupied by the buildings covers an area of about 
 eight acres of ground. There are three entrances to the main 
 building, namely the Main Hall, Horticultural Hall, and North 
 Hall. Fronting the main building, is a beautiful fountain, 
 which refreshes and cools the surrounding atmosphere. 
 
 For adults the price of admission is 25 cents; and for child- 
 ren under 12 years of age, 15 cents. The price of tickets, 
 admitting the bearer during the whole time the Exposition 
 will be open, is two dollars. 
 
 In the Main Hall, a large Restaurant is fitted up, by the 
 proprietor of the St. Charles Restaurant, of 112 and 114 West 
 Fourth Street, where meals arc served up in good style at 
 moderate prices. 
 
 Arrangements of a most liberal kind have been made with 
 all the railways having termini in Cincinnati, for the trans- 
 portation of visitors at reduced rates. A circular giving all ne- 
 cessary information as to railway fares has been prepared by or- 
 der of the Exposition Commissioners, for the benefit of those 
 desirous of visiting the city during the time the Exposition is 
 open, and will be forwarded on application by letter to Frank 
 Milward Esq., the Secretary of the Exposition for 1875.

18 RULES AND REGULATIONS. 
 
 will be furnished by the Secretary. Space will be awarded 
 as early as practicable (after the application has been received), 
 consistent with the plans for the classification and proper ar- 
 rangement of the goods. Notice of the award of space will 
 be mailed to the applicant. Space alloted to applicants and

20 RULES AND REGULATIONS. 
 
 No premiums will be awarded in any class were there is no 
 competition (save in the Horticultural Department), except 
 for articles or inventions of great merit and utility, and by the 
 unanimous award of the jurors. Jurors may refuse to award 
 any premium where all articles competing are not meritorious. 
 
 In any and every case, where the jurors have reached a 
 decision, they shall file with the Secretary a report giving the 
 names of the exhibitors, the articles examined, and the num- 
 ber of the class in which it is entered. The jurors shall there- 
 upon secure from the Secretary, who alone shall be the cus- 
 todian thereof, a premium badge which they shall at once 
 place prominently upon the article to which the award has 
 been made. 
 
 In cases where it is not practicable for jurors to test or ex- 
 amine machines, when the model only can be and is exhibited 
 in the buildings of the Exposition, they may go outside of 
 the building, but within the limits of the city, to make such 
 examination or test ; but they must first procure the consent 
 in writing of the Committee on Jurors and Awards, which 
 written consent must be attached to their award when filed 
 with the Secretary. 
 
 The placing of premium badges upon articles upon exhi- 
 biton, shs^l not entitle the owner of such article to the pre- 
 mium or medal until the award has been confirmed by the 
 Board ; and in any case when the premium badge has 
 been so attached, and the Board h&s refused to confirm 
 award, the exhibitor shall return the badge to the Sec- 
 retary, who shall hold it subject to the order of the Board. 
 
 Should any juror, either before entering upon the examin- 
 ation, or while it is in progress, die, or become for any reason 
 incapacitated from serving, the Board shall select another 
 juror. 
 
RULES AND REGULATIONS. 
 
 21 
 
 There shall be no appeal from the decision of the jurors, 
 except in cases where the award has been made in direct 
 violation of the printed rules. 
 
 RULE VIII. 
 
 The Board shall appoint a committee of three, composed of 
 experts of known reputation for skill in mechanics, whose duty 
 it shall be to examine such machinery, new inventions, and 
 other articles, as may be worthy of special notice, which have 
 been entered for competition or exhibition. They shall make 
 such tests and experiments as may be practicable, and pre- 
 pare such reports upon the merits of the articles as in their 
 judgment they deserve, which report shall be presented to the 
 Board for consideration, and if approved, may be published 
 in the annual report. 
 
 RULE IX. 
 
 The premium list will be published, and all awards shall be 
 
 for the first degree of merit in each class. No second-class 
 awards or decisions will be made or reported in any case, 
 
 excepting in the Horticultural and Tobacco (Department. 
 
 RULE X. 
 
 The four lines of shafting, from which power will be fur- 
 nished for machinery in operation, are each 27-16 inches in 
 diameter. Three of these lines will be driven at a speed of 
 200 revolutions per minute ; and the fourth, for wood-work- 
 ing machinery, etc., at 300 revolutions. Driving pulleys of 
 any required diameter, also counter shafts and pulleys, and 
 belts and hangers, will be furnished to exhibitors at cost, if 
 timely arrangements for them are made. Pulleys for the main 
 line of shafting, if furnished by exhibitors, must be accurately 
 
22 RULES AND REGULATIONS. 
 
 balanced, and must have the exhibitor's name plainly marked 
 upon them, and should be received before the 25th of August, 
 to enable them to be put in place on the shaft without un- 
 necessary labor and inconvenience. 
 
 RULE XI. 
 
 No article on exhibition can be removed from any depart- 
 ment during the Exposition ; but all appropriate facilities for 
 making sale of articles, for delivery at the close of the Expo- 
 sition, will be afforded. 
 
 RULE XII. 
 
 An adequate police force will be in attendance upon the 
 premises during the day and night ; but all articles on exhi- 
 bition will be at the risk of the owner. Insurance against 
 loss by fire will be effected by the Board in behalf of all ex- 
 hibitors who apply and pay for the same. 
 
 RULE XIII. 
 
 In order to preserve the general harmony of the Expo- 
 sition, and to make the display of goods attractive, the Board 
 reserve the right to direct the general arrangement of all arti- 
 cles on exhibition, and to regulate the dimensions of all signs 
 and advertisements. All drapery and coverings for counters 
 will be furnished by the Board, and charged to exhibitors at 
 cost ; the object of this regulation being to secure uniformity 
 in the decoration of the different aisles. 
 
 RULE xiv. 
 
 Each exhibitor may procure for himself and one employe 
 (when it can be shown that such employe is absolutely 
 necessary for the care of exhibitor's articles), season Tickets

 for which they were issued will be forfeited. 
 
 Every ticket for general admission will be registered, and

 Note.— The great abuse in the use of exhibitors' and employes' tickets during 
 former Expositions, compels the rigid enforcement of this rule.

 All packages and articles upon which the freight has been 
 prepaid, will be taken in charge by the Board of commission-

 of the exhibitors. 
 
 Any goods left uncalled for in one month after the close of 
 the Exposition, will be stored and disposed of according to

EXPOSITION GUIDE. 25 
 
 THE EXPOSITION. 
 
 It is expected this year from various circumstances that 
 the display in all parts of the Exposition Building will be un- 
 usually grand and of the most complete and novel description 
 in all its several departments. As a preliminary, the interior 
 of the building has almost been remodeled and looks much 
 better than it did last year. The main entrance is on Elm 
 Street, and the visitor by the present arrangements on enter- 
 ing the Main or Central Hall, will have a view of a consider- 
 able portion of each of the other halls. The Main or Cen- 
 tral hall will contain displays of jewelry, china-ware, notions, 
 fancy dress goods, and all the showy articles, and at night, 
 particularly, the effect will be very imposing and brilliant. 
 
 Burkhardt, the celebrated hatter of Fourth street will carry 
 on in full blast an extensive fur factory, and the Paris Kid 
 Glove Company of New York will manufacture kid gloves. 
 Lippincott has already erected his magnificent palace foun- 
 tain for soda syrups, and all the Arctic drinks known to 
 science ; it is really a show in itself. The galleries will con- 
 tain a great furniture exhibition ; tasteful and gorgeous rooms 
 are prepared to show the perfection and elegance to which 
 the furniture manufacturers and upholsterers have arrived. 
 Also, in the gallery of this hall, there will be a grand display 
 of plain furniture, billiard tables, marble, and other highly 
 finished mantels, light articles of hardware, and a display u\' 
 
26 
 
 CINCINNATI. 
 
 MAIN ENTRANCE. 
 
 natural history, and a host of other things attractive and ele- 
 gant. 
 
 After getting a good impression of the extent of the Ex- 
 position as before mentioned, the visitor may go into Power 
 Hall where he will find one of the grandest displays of mod- 
 ern science it would be possible to get up elsewhere. The 
 hall will be crowded. Safety elevators, wood working ma- 
 chines, by Lane & J Bodley of this city, as well as lathe drills, 
 presses, and the like. A boot and shoe sewing machine will 
 
EXPOSITION GUIDE. 27 
 
 be in full operation, and many novel and interesting features 
 will be on view. 
 
 Passing from Power Hall and its noise and jar of ponder- 
 ous machinery and shafting, we enter Horticultural Hall ; it 
 is situated as before, but somewhat changed in appearance. 
 The bridge which led from the second story of Power Hall 
 to the Elm street bridge on the way to the Art Gallery has 
 been removed and no one would imagine the effect it has had 
 in the appearance of this department, giving a larger and 
 much more charming appearance. 
 
 The winding avenues, mossy dells, rustic bridge, cascades 
 of water over moss covered rocks, lovely grottoes now made 
 more beautiful than ever for this occasion. Even now, with- 
 out the plants for exhibition, the hall is alive w r ith luxuriant 
 vegetation, vines, lichens, mosses, ferns, and other plants 
 grow in wild profusion from the margin of the lakes and in 
 the rock work. This will be truly natures gallery without 
 sham or vanity. 
 
 The competition for the floral display on the 24th inst. w r ill 
 be grand in the extreme, and J. Fick, of Rochester, promises 
 to outrival himself in the aesthetic display he intends to make 
 in cut flowers. 
 
 We are glad to see that the liberal premiums of our citizens 
 have awakened some enthusiasm through the country and 
 well they ought to, as the amounts offered exceed by four 
 times those offered in London at the exposition. The next 
 object of interest is the North Hall, including among many 
 of the most interesting features of the Exposition, the ladies 
 department.

 HORTICULTURAL. 
 
 It is almost needless to repeat what has been said on fre- 
 quent occasions during preceding Expositions about the ex- 
 tent, beauty, and attractiveness of the floral displays, and yet 
 there still remains something interesting to say about that im- 
 portant feature. 
 
 IIOKTICULTUKAL HALL. 
 
42 EXPOSITION GUIDE. 
 
 In the first place the hall has been greatly improved in con- 
 dition and appearance by the removal of the causeway over- 
 head and the re-arrangement of the tables for exhiting cut 
 flowers, and of the exits and entrances. And in the second 
 place, the grotto, cascade, and miniature lake have been en- 
 larged and beautified, and a substantial rustic bridge is thrown 
 across the latter, which not only adds to the attractiveness of 
 the place, but will greatly facilitate the movements of visitors, 
 besides affording an elevating point of view in passing. 
 
 The first floral exhibition will be on Friday, September 10; 
 the second, September 14; third, September 17; fourth, Sep- 
 tember 21 ; fifth, September 28 ; sixth, October 1 ; seventh,

 department. The Tobacco branch will be in a section by 
 itself, and it is expected there will be a very fine display al- 
 together.

 FINE iJRT DEPARTMENT, 
 
 With a Critical Notice of the Paintings, Works of Art, &c. 
 
 Next to the Horticultural Hall, which is doubtless the pri- 
 mary attraction of the Exposition, the Fine Arts Department 
 takes precedence. Here the tired and weary after examining 
 the mechanical wonders of the Main Hall and its surround- 
 ings, and inhaling the fragrance of the floral beauties of the 
 Horticultural show, can rest their tired limbs and at same time 
 feast their eyes and satisfy their tastes with the rich gifts of 
 art so lavishly provided for their gaze. The splendid speci- 
 mens of the various European as well as the American schools 
 which cover the walls of the Art Gallery, are such as the 
 critic loves to gaze on, and even the unitiated in artistic lore 
 can feel delight in contemplating. Some of the best artists of 
 France, Italy, Germany and Spain are well represented, 
 while many of our American artists resident and abroad, 
 show considerable evidence of close treading on the heels of 
 their trans-atlantic brethren. The galleries of the Exposition 
 are filled not only with paintings and engravings of beauty 
 and variety but they also contain articles of vert u and speci- 
 
56 EXPOSITION GUIDE. 
 
 mens of house-hold art that are alone a scholastic study. We 
 cannot particularize all that fill these rooms, but we assure our 
 readers that they can hardly err in taking any article as a study 
 or an object of consideration. We especially designate No. 169 
 in the gallery of house-hold Art, a piece of genuine Gobelin 
 Tapestry, unique and matchless and to those who have never 
 seen such work, worthy of close inspection ; many persons 
 who look on it can hardly believe it is a piece of woven work 
 and not a painting ; as a specimen it is simply marvelous. 
 No. 193 in same department is a splendid specimen said to be 
 the work of Paul Veronese, and is worthy of attention from 
 its frame, which is a most wonderful specimen of fine carved 
 work. We will not however go wandering hap hazard 
 through the rooms, but will try to give a cursory glance at the 
 contents of the entire gallery, pointing out as we go on those 
 works which we recommend as most worthy of attention. 
 This we think will materially assist those whose limited time 
 will not permit repeated visits to the Exposition. The pictures 
 begin at what is known as the 
 
 EAST ROOM 
 
 No. 8 in which a landscape by Daubigny is fine and shows 
 study in a good school. No. 14. A procession of Cardinals 
 by Isabey is remarkable as a specimen of style now passe. 
 The artist was a favorite at the court of the first Napoleon 
 and was inclined somewhat to be courtly and extravagant in 
 manner. No. 21. Dancing thejaleo, by Madrazo of Madrid, is an 
 excellent specimen of the modern Spanish school, and as such 
 worthy of attention. No. 22 by Von Bremen hardly needs 
 recommendation ; the style and subject is one that at once 
 enlists the feelings of all who look on it. No. 23. Scene in 
 Grenada, by Forteny- No. 24. Porridge, by Bougerau : 26, 
 The Music Lesson, by De Jonghe ; 27, Return of the Mayflow- 
 er, (a charming conception) ; 30, one of Jas. M. Hart's char-

 acteristic dual pieces ; 31, Sheep, by Brissot ; 32, Defense of 
 a Flemish Tower, by HerbstofTer ; 33, A brilliant landscape 
 by Corot, 35, A Coming Storm, by Verbockhoven : 36; A 
 sea piece, Andreas Achenbach, ( a noble picture) , 40, The 
 Scouts, Lessing ; 45, Preparations for High Mass, Gide ; 54, 
 Unwelcome Visitor, by an old Cincinnati artist, Jas. H. Beard ; 
 56, Feeding Time in the Menagerie, Schumann, (almost wor- 
 thy of Landseer) ; 57, Another of Achenbach's brilliant Sea- 
 scapes, ; 59, Jester and Dwarfs at play, Zamacois, (cannot be 
 too closely examined as a curious and clever work) ; 62,. 
 Halberdiers, by the elder Dornier ; 67, The Musician, Fichel 1 
 70, Spring Flowers, A. Serrure, ( almost natural enough to 
 gather a bouquet from) ; 72, Charles 2nd. when a boy, said to 
 be by Van Dyke, (and if not, is so clearly of his style and 
 manner that it may readily pass for his) ; 77, Roman House- 
 hold in time of the Cagsars, by Alma Tadema, (scan this close- 
 ly, it is by, one of the rising geniuses of the day, who will 
 make his mark) ; 79, The Siesta, Heuillant; Sunset, Van- 
 Schendel, (fine) ; French Scene, by Dupre. These are the 
 most notable works in the East Room and we now proceed 
 to the 
 
 MAIN HALL 
 
 The picture in which No. S6, The Temptation of Faust, by 
 Richter, is a veritable specimen of the French School, roman- 
 tic and sensational in treatment and brilliant in coloring : no- 
 tice the painted window half open, from which Faust and 
 Mephistopheles are gazing, although the figure of Marguerite 
 as seen by them is entirely too small for the apparent distance ; 
 in contrast to this is No. 87, Sunset in Venice, Haseltine, 
 quiet, subdued and soft in tone ; 89, Visitors at the Ruins T 
 Launier, good but rather too dark ; 91, Peasants going to 
 Market, Geibel, excellent ; 93, A portrait, by Duvenek of 
 Cincinnati, said to have been painted in one sitting ; we

 think it wonld have been much improved by another sitting ; 
 97, Scene on the Datch Coast,.bv Burnier, and 98, After the 
 Gale by De Haas, are both very fine and will repay examina- 
 tion : 100, Exterior of Palace of the Doge at Venice, by 
 Moucho, this will be one of the most attractive pictures of 
 the Exhibition and deservedly so, for with one exception it is 
 the best in the entire gallery, and is an historical study of 
 itself; 105, Marguerite by Merle, is well painted and char- 
 .acteristic, although we cannot see the propriety of the intro- 
 duction of Mephisto behind her chair, it may be dramatic but 
 it is not artistic ; 10S, Albanian Scene by Innes of Boston, is 
 an excellent work and creditable to the artist ; 109, Calling 
 the Roll, G. J. Vibert, one of the best pictures of the room, full 
 of character and) admirably carried out : 112, Cattle Scene by 
 De Haas, we rcommend a close and long study of this admi- 
 rable picture, the more you examine it the better you will 
 like it, 116, a fair likenesss of Stanton late Secretary of War, 
 interesting from its reminiscences; 118, another of George 
 Innes' pictures equally meritorious with No. 10S ; 120, The 
 Foundling by Salentin, we need not recommend this picture, 
 its sentiment will recommend itself ; 126, A scene near Ostend 
 
ART HALL. 
 
 by Burnier, and 127, On the Pacific Coast by Bierstadt, are 
 both very fine and worthy of closest inspection ; 12S, Interior 
 of a French Drinking House by Jules Breton, is unquestiona- 
 bly the best work in the gallery ; excellent in its tone and 
 treatment, full of character admirably told, and so wonderful 
 in detail that while there is nothing crowded on the canvass 
 there is not a space but what has its separate tale to tell, and 
 tells it plainly and unmistakably, the foreshortening of the 
 female peasant's arm and her entire pose are almost stereosco- 
 phic in effect, 132, by Lessing, we have seen works by this 
 artist that we much prefer ; 135, Edwin Booth as Hamlet 
 by John Pope of New York, we cannot speak commendably of 
 this so we will say nothing, let our readers pass their own 
 judgment on it. 137, Italian Scene by Innes, has the same 
 
60 EXPOSITION GUIDE. 
 
 commendable points as his other pictures in the gallery, but 
 have we not a little too much Innes? four large pictures in 
 one room are enough for one artist we think. 136, A Clou- 
 dy day in Lorraine by Veron, very good ; i42,The Salute, by H. 
 Corerme of Paris, we have never heard of this artist before, 
 but if all his works are like this one we shall hope to hear of 
 him again ; 145, A landscape by Oudinot, and 146, The Jeal- 
 ous Pets, by Dell Aqua, will both bear inspection and repay for 
 it ; 148, Landscape by Whittier, the name of the artist is enough 
 to assure its merit ; 149, An evening scene in the Bay of Na- 
 ples, by Brown of Boston, shows much artistic skill, the col- 
 oring of the evening glow is very fine : 150, Norway Scene 
 by Wust, masterly in treatment and excellent in manipulation ; 
 153, The Marine View by Gude of Carlsriehe, has all the soft- 
 ness of the school, although a little broader handling might 
 have improved the picture ; 156, The First of May, Salentin, 
 very good but not equal to his 120 ; 157, Another picture by 
 Innes, and fully equal to any of his former ones, the subject 
 " Sunset after a Storm" admitting of a broad tieatment of 
 which he has availed himself. No. 158, Spring Time, by 
 Wust ; 160, Dutch Sea Shore, De Haas, a very fine picture 
 and 161 Distraint for Rent, by Roux, a fine example of a first 
 class artist ; 164, Evening, by Corot, a picture worthy of the 
 artist and one of which the owner may feel proud ; 165, A 
 view in California, by Bierstadt, has all the peculiarities of 
 this celebratdd painter, brilliant in coloring and elaborate in 
 detail ; 167, The Hill near Rome, by Hoffler, 168, Landscape 
 by Robbins, and 169, The Armorer, by Baumgarner, are three 
 masterly pictures, remarkable for contrast in style and treat- 
 ment, but each equally meritorious, ; 170, Suggestion from 
 Gray's Elegy, by John of Philadelphia, a familiar subject 
 well told ; 171, The Setting Sun, is another fine piece of col- 
 oring by Innes, we think decidedly the best of his many works

 in the Exhibition ; 173, Landscape, by Whittridge ; 174, Bos- 
 ion Harbor, by Hamilton and 175 from Delobbe are very fine. 
 1S0, Autumnal Scene, by Brevoort, is well done and will re- 
 pay examination ; 183, The First Grief, by Viani, an Italian 
 .artist of New York, will attract much attention from the sen- 
 timent of the picture, although we think the treatment is 
 meretricious and not in good taste ; 185, A portrait of Ristori, 
 Tby the same artist is a much better picture, the likeness is good 
 .and the execution vigorous ; 187 is bronze figure of Mercury. 
 excellent in every way. We now come to the

 very well treated in this instance ; 232, In Deep Thought, W. 
 Amberg ; 243, A Swiss Custom House, Rupert ; 244, Dutch 
 Scene, Van Ethen ; 247, New York Harbor, Peterson, a very 
 excellent example of this artist's style ; 252, on the same sub-

 This concludes our review cf the Paintings, and we now 
 enter the gallery set apart for engravings and etchings, where 
 we find ourselves so surrounded by an cmbarras de richessc* 
 that we pause to consider where we shall begin. The speci- 
 mens exhibited show the transition of the art from early in 
 the fifteenth century down to our own time, and include the 
 works of all noted masters during those years. The student 
 and connoisseur will experience ample delight in contempla- 
 tion of the works of the early engravers, the beauties of which 
 to the general observer are a hidden book. But no one can 
 help receiving gratification from the splendid specimens of the 
 later schools that are to be found on the walls and in the cases- 
 in the gallery. The collection commences with specimens 
 from the early school of Italy represented by Agostini, Aqui- 
 la, Antonio Canale, Agostine Caracci, Ghisi, Guido Reni, 
 Carlo Maratti, etc.; while the more modern Italian school is 
 shown in Bartolozzi, Raphael Morghen, Gandolfi, Piranesi, 
 Toschi, etc. The German engravers are to be seen here in 
 ample numbers, and in full majesty of their excellence from 
 Aldegrever and Altdorfer, pupils of Albert Duerer to the 
 present day. The French, the Dutch, and the English 
 schools are also fully represented by the most noted masters 
 of the art. 
 
 The exceeding beauty of modern engravings is such as to 
 preclude any interest in old works, except to the collector in

 the art, and we will, therefore, pass them by, and call atten- 
 tion to the best among the more modern schools, which we 
 think will repay observation. Of those who stand first, how- 
 ever, as among the greatest, we must mention Rembrandt 
 Van Ryn, who in addition to his celebrity as a painter, has 
 attained high eminence as an engraver, and we hope no one 
 will leave the gallery without a close study of his works as 
 will be found numbered from 174 to 192 inclusive. William 
 Sharpe an English engraver is shown by some splendid work 
 — some portraits are remarkably fine — his numbers are from 
 205 to 216; Bartolozzi has five specimens trom 12 to 16, each 
 one a beauty; Earlom has some fine flower pieces Nos. 83 
 and 84; Frey, a Dutch engraver, has a fine work after Rem- 
 brandt, No. 92; Martinet, a French engraver, shows well in 
 Nos. 139 and 140, especially the latter; Raphael Morghen. 
 an Italian and one of the most noted of modern times, is well 
 shown in Nos. 144 to 149; dont fail to see his work; Paolo 
 Toschi shows from 222 to 235, some magnificent work, unique 
 of its kind; and there are many others whose names we are 
 obliged to omit that will bear critical examination, and we 
 advise our readers to spend a few hours in the gallery of en- 
 gravings where they cannot help to be gratified. We now 
 come to the gallery of 
 
 HOUSEHOLD ART, 
 
 a short notice of which will conclude our epitome of the Art 
 Department in the Exposition. In this gallery w T ill be found 
 works of ancient and modern art, not included in the pictorial 
 sense of the word. Articles of vcrtu, priceless in their val- 
 ue, cabinets, matchless in their workmanship old china, brie 
 a brae, bronzes, clocks, silver ware, tapestry, books and man- 
 uscripts, porcelain from Sevres, wedgewood ware, majolica 
 ware, and the many curiosities and rarities which to col- 
 lectors are choice prizes; these are to be seen in this collect- 
 tion, and all who gaze on them will be pleased, and will im- 
 bibe knowledge of a past generation. This will lead, after 
 having passed through the gallery, to the exit, and very few 
 will leave the building but will acknowledge the sixth Cin- 
 cinnati Industrial Exposition a marvel of good taste, mechan- 
 ical excellence and artistic wonder, the mere recollection of 
 which must be to all "A thing of beauty and a joy for ever." 
 
CINCINNATI, 65 
 
 Merchants' and Manufacturers' Review, 
 
 Having in the previous sketch of the city given some ac- 
 count of its business facilities, we will now give our readers 
 a short review of a few of the leading and most prominent 
 business houses to be found here, wholesale as well as retail. 
 One feature of our large business houses is that they are all 
 of the highest reputation and standing, some of them having 
 been established half a century or more ago, and which for 
 decades of years have been transmitted from father to son 
 with the same family pride as the old established houses show 
 in the cities of the old world. 
 
 Engine Builders and Foundries. — Among the emi- 
 nent houses in this city engaged in this business, none stands 
 higher than the well-known firm of Lane & Bodley, whose 
 establishment is located at the southwest corner of John and 
 Water Streets. They are also extensive manufacturers of 
 hoisting machinery, for the excellence of which they have 
 achieved an enviable reputation. There are several part- 
 ners in the firm, who stand in the front rank as eminent me- 
 chanics. The engines they manufacture always give the 
 highest satisfaction ; in fact, it is superfluous, nay, simply su- 
 perogatory for us to speak in terms of encomium of this well 
 known firm, for there is not a mechanic or an engineer in the 
 United States that has not heard of them, and of the superior 
 work that is manufactured in their establishment. 
 
66 
 
 CINCINNATI. 
 
 Esselborx Brothers, of 122 
 Vine Street, are extensively en- 
 gaged in the wholesale millinery 
 
 B BEhSI trade > and are lar g e importers of 
 this description of goods direct 
 from Paris. At their establish- 
 ment an excellent assortment of 
 all goods used in this branch of 
 trade can always be found, in- 
 cluding silk and straw goods of 
 all kinds and qualities, velvet and 
 silk ribbons, imported and Amer- 
 ican flowers, laces, veils, chignons, 
 ladies' hats, of the most approved 
 styles; in fact all goods that are 
 used bv the milliner in the manu- 
 facture of women's goods. They 
 have transacted for a long period 
 a large business in the States of 
 Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, and 
 importing many of their goods di- 
 rect from Paris, and purchasing 
 on an extensive scale direct from the leading manufacturers 
 of New York, they are enabled to defy competition in this 
 market. 
 
 Trunks and Valises. — One of the best known and most 
 extensive houses in this branch of business is that of M. A. 
 McGuire, whose wholesale rooms and factory are situated 
 at No. 122 West Third Street, near the Burnet House, and his 
 retail store is located at No. 137 West Fourth Street. He 
 manufactures every description of Trunk, Valise and Satchel.

68 CINCINNATI, 
 
 J. B. Schroeder, of No. 141 West Third street, on the 
 south side, between Race and Elm streets, is the oldest house 
 in the lock trade in this city, having been established nearly 
 thirty years. His reputation as a manufacturer of locks has 
 been so long established, and his name so favorably known 
 throughout the Western and Middle States, that it is only, 
 necessary for us to say that his wrought iron locks, bank, 
 prison, store door and dwelling house locks, fine drawer 
 locks, chest locks, and padlocks, are in as great demand as 
 ever. He is also extensively engaged in the building hard- 
 ware trade, doing a very large business in all descriptions of 
 these goods. He is the sole agent for the celebrated Trenton 
 Lock Company of New Jersey. 
 
 The Schroeder Lock Company, of 16 and iS East Sev- 
 enth street, between Main and Sycamore streets, are large 
 manufacturers of all descriptions of wrought iron locks and 
 bolts. They have an extensive trade in jail locks, brass pad- 
 locks, brass knobs, and hinges of various kinds, emploving a 
 large number of experienced mechanics. Cincinnati has 
 within the last few years become noted throughout the coun- 
 try for the superior locks which are manufactured here, and 
 the Schroeder Lock Company produce as excellent work as 
 is made in the United States. 
 
 Corrugated Elbow Company. — This company are the 
 sole proprietors of the celebrated sheet metal elbows, which 
 have so rapidly come into universal use, superseding the old 
 elbow formerly in use. It is patented in this countrv and 
 also in Europe. Its advantages are so universally acknowl- 
 edged by all engaged in the stove trade, that we deem it un- 
 necessary to point them out. The Company's offices and 
 warehouse are at 4^ & 47 Race Street. 
 
CINCINNATI.

 Furniture. — Th< 
 
 s carried on a gig-antic 
 
 manufacture of furniture in Cincinnati 
 scale, our city being the best and 
 largest market for every description of such goods, outside 
 of New York — in fact, our city can supply goods cheaper 
 than they can be purchased in the Empire City. This arises 
 from various causes not necessary here to detail. 
 
 A. & H. Straus, of 152 West Fourth Street, have a very 
 high reputation for their goods. They are extensive manu- 
 facturers and dealers in furniture, looking glasses, chairs and 
 mattresses. 
 
 H. Closterman & Co., of No. 71 West Fifth Street, is an- 
 other house engaged in this business. They are old estab- 
 lished, and are extensively engaged in the wholesale and re- 
 tail branch of the trade. They confine themselves to furni- 
 ture, keeping a very extensive stock of chairs, which they 
 make a specialty of. 
 
 Brass Goods. — Wm. Kirk- 
 up & Son, 119, 121 & 123 East 
 Pearl Street. This is a very 
 old house, engaged in the man- 
 ufacture of all kinds of brass 
 goods required for steam, wa- 
 ter and gas works. They are 
 thoroughly practical men, and 
 have an extensive business. In 
 
 the particular branch of the 
 ade, which they make a spe- 
 yUfj! HI cialty of, there is no house in 
 the city that enjoys a higher 
 reputation. Air. Kirkup is an 
 old Englishman, and was, we 
 believe, apprenticed to the 
 trade, in the mother country, between fifty and sixty years ago. 
 
70 
 
 CINCINNATI. 
 
 L. F. Wehrman & Son, 
 No. 17 & 23 W. Fifth Street, 
 are extensive wholesale and 
 retail furniture dealers, and at 
 their establishment an exten- 
 sive and well assorted stock is 
 always to be found. They 
 have made their reputation by 
 keeping only goods manufac- 
 tured out of well seasoned tim- 
 ber, so that purchasers have 
 always had confidence in the 
 goods they purchased of them. 
 They are a fair dealing house, 
 having a thorough knowledge 
 of the business they are en- 
 gaged in. Their establishment is very conveniently situated, 
 between Main and Walnut Streets, and we recommend them 
 to those commencing housekeeping, or to country buyers who 
 wish to purchase, at a reasonable price, articles that will give 
 entire satisfaction. 
 
 Rubber Goods. — Gems & Randolph have recently open- 
 ed a very extensive establishment in this line at 135 West 
 Fourth Street. They keep a very large assortment of rubber 
 belting, steam packing, rubber hose, rubber clothing, rubber 
 boots and shoes, linen and rubber lined hose, leather hose T 
 leather belting and lace leather, as well as a large stock and 
 complete line of the infinite variety of goods manufactured 
 out of rubber. They are also sole agents for the New Eng- 
 land Linen Hose Manufacturing Company of Boston, the Bos- 
 ton Belting Company, and for John Davis & Son, of Paw- 
 tucket, R. I. 
 
 
CINCINNATI. 71 
 
 Opticians. — Ferdinand Wagner. His establishment has 
 attained a very high reputation, and deservedly so, for optical 
 goods, mathematical instruments, thermometers, barometers 
 and spectacles, in which class of wares he is an extensive 
 wholesale and retail dealer. His place of business is very 
 centrally situated, in the heart of the city, being at West 
 Fourth Street, on the north side, between Race and Elm. 
 
 James Foster, Jr. & Co. — This firm is, we believe, the 
 oldest in this branch of business in Cincinnati. For many 
 years it has enjoyed a high reputation. Under the fostering 
 care of Mr. Foster, the establishment attained a very high 
 reputation in this section of the country. The firm are not 
 only importers, but manufacturers of all kinds of optical 
 goods, as well as mathematical and philosophical instruments. 
 Their establishment is at the southwest corner of Fifth and 
 Race Streets. 
 
 China, Glass and Queensware. — One of the largest 
 importing firms of these goods into the city of Cincinnati is 
 the enterprising house of F. Schultze & Co., of 72 West 
 Fourth Street, opposite Pike's Opera House. They import 
 their goods direct from the most eminent manufacturers of 
 Europe, and keep only the choicest and most elegant goods. 
 A visit to their warehouse will amply repay the connoisseur. 
 Here may be seen as choice goods as meets the eye in the 
 entrepots of Dresden, Paris and London. Messrs. F. Schultze 
 & Co. do a very large trade, and pride themselves on the ex- 
 cellence of their goods and the taste they display in their se- 
 lection.

 Confectionery and Candt. 
 — The oldest house in this branch 
 of business, as well as one of the 
 most extensive, is that of E. My- 
 
 ~ H H : UlSi'l&Sfll" ' ERS ^ Co., of No. 40 Main Street 
 111 whose goods are manufactured un- 
 der the personal superintendance 
 of Mr. E. Myers. His long expe- 
 rience, extending over a quarter of 
 a century, gives him a thorough 
 knowledge of every branch of the 
 1 1 business. E. Myers & Co. are also 
 importers of foreign fruits and nut, 
 and dealers in fire works. These 
 candies and confectionery have ob- 
 tained a very high reputation, then- 
 business in this line being one of 
 || the largest in the city. From our 
 personal knowledge of this firm 
 we know that there is no establish- 
 ment in this city that can supply 
 customers in his line with better 
 goods or at lower prices. The firm carries a very large stock, 
 and has the reputation of using no baneful ingredients in their 
 candies, Mr. Myers long since having decided to use only su- 
 gar in their manufacture. 
 
 Kkohn, Feiss & Co., 126 Vine Street are largely engaged 
 in the wholesale cigar trade. Their manufactory is in New 
 York, where the}' employ a large number of hands. They 
 are celebrated for keeping the best brands and qualities of 
 cigars, in which class of goods they have a very extensive 
 trade. They were formerly located in the Carlisle building, 
 on the south side of Fourth Street, near to Walnut.

 The Bromwell Manu- 
 
 BfjL, FACTURING COMPANY, have 
 
 HI extensive premises at No. 
 : 1S1 Walnut Street, where 
 they carry on the largest 
 trade in the State of Ohio, 
 in the manufacture of all 
 kinds of wire goods and all 
 descriptions of brushes. 
 From a mouse trap, to an 
 extensive bird cage is made 
 at this establishment, in fact, 
 there is no article in house- 
 hold use, that is made of 
 wire, that is not made by 
 them, and indeed, to the un- 
 initiated it would seem im- 
 possible that wire could be 
 used in manufacturing the 
 hundreds of articles that are 
 sent out from this establish- 
 ment to such an extent. 
 Brushes, as a utensil in modern industry, and as an appli- 
 ance of daily life, hold a much more important position than 
 is usually supposed. The cleanliness and propriety of mod- 
 ern civilization can almost be said to be based on the brush. 
 This large factory manufacture whitewashing and distemper- 
 ing brushes, dusting brushes, hearth brushes, scrubbing, shoe, 
 clothes, nail and tooth brushes, varnish brushes, sash brushes, 
 window brushes, shaving brushes, crumb brushes, and every 
 kind of brush known to the trade. They employ a large num- 
 ber of hands, and their trade extends not only to nearly all 
 the States in the West, North-west and South, but they also 
 
76 CINCINNATI. 
 
 ship large quantities of goods to Pennsylvania and West 
 Virginia. 
 
 J. W. D. Hall, 259 West Third Street, has been engaged 
 in the tin, iron and slate roofing trade for many years. He is 
 also an extensive manufacturer of ornamental galvanized iron 
 cornices, so much used of late years in the erection of new 
 buildings. As a roofer, there is no one in the city that has a 
 more thorough knowledge of the business. His contracts for 
 roofing have been on a large scale. Several of our public 
 buildings have been roofed by him, including the Cincinnati 
 Hospital. He was formerly in partnership with another firm, 
 if we are not mistaken, but now he has no partner. We have 
 heard on reliable authority that his business is rapidly in- 
 creasing. 
 
 F. H. Lawson & Co.— F. H. Lawson & Co., No. 1S8 & 190 
 Main Street, are very extensive manufacturers of all kinds of 
 Tinners' Stock, and are large importers of and dealers in tin 
 plate, block tin, copper, zinc, &c. There is no firm in this 
 city that enjoys a higher reputation in this branch of business, 
 their trade extending all through the Western and Southern 
 States. The large capital that they control, and the knowl- 
 edge of the best European markets from which to secure their 
 supplies, acquired by a lengthened experience, sometimes 
 gained by a considerable sacrifice of money, enables them to 
 lay in their stocks at the lowest prices, and supply their cus- 
 tomers at a profit, amounting to a mere commission, the price 
 they are in a position to charge for their merchandize, owing 
 to the extent of their purchases, being, we imagine, less than 
 smaller consumers would have to pay if they even had the 
 facilities of getting their goods direct from England.

 Beckman & Fink, No. 541 West Eighth Street, owners of 
 the celebrated Anchor Galvanized Iron Cornice Works, are 
 doing a vary large business as tin, slate and metal roofers, 
 and are prepared to execute in a satisfactory manner any or- 
 ders in their line that may be entrusted to them. They are 
 also manufacturers of ornamental galvanized iron cornices, 
 dormer windows, window and door caps, finials, gutters and 
 spouting. Thev have large manufacturing facilities, which 
 enable them to compete successfully with any other house in 
 the trade. 
 
 Wm. Autenrieth, of 
 No. 71 Sixth Street, on 
 the south side, between 
 Vine and Walnut Street 
 is a large importer and 
 manufacturer of and deal 
 er in Surgical and Den- 
 tal Instruments, Crutch- 
 es, club foot shoes, spin- 
 al apparatus, etc., in 
 fact it is an extensive de- 
 pot for the supplying of 
 all goods required by 
 surgeons in the discharge 
 of their professional du- 
 ties. He is acknowl- 
 edged by the medical 
 fraternity to be thoroughly proficient in his business, and is 
 extensively patronized by them, not only in this city, but also 
 throughout the state. He has added to his business a novel 
 branch, viz.: the manufacture of razors, and the barbers of 
 Cincinnati acknowledge that they are equal to the best ra- 
 zors made by Rogers <Y. Sons of Sheffield, England.

 R. Wurlitzer & Brother, 115 Main Street, have an ex-

 Third and Fourth Streets, where they do an extensive busi- 
 ness as importers and wholesale dealers in pianos and organs, 
 music boxes, accordeons, concertinas, stationers' and drug- 
 gists' sundries, toys, fancy goods, smokers' articles and no- 
 tions. They keep a very large stock, and purchasers can 
 hardly fail to find at the warehouse of this firm the goods

 Geo. C. Ware, of 324 
 West Third Street, on 
 the south side, near to 
 Smith street, has a very 
 extensive establish- 
 
 ment, the largest of the 
 kind in this city, for 
 the manufacture of ci- 
 der, cider vinegar, gin- 
 ger ale, mineral water, 
 and Condit's table sauce 
 which is rivalling Lea 
 & Perrin's celebrated 
 Worcestershire Sauce. 
 The goods that he man- 
 ufactures bear a high 
 reputation, and his 
 
 trade in the articles we B 
 
 have enumerated is very large, especially in his mineral wa- 
 ters, and ginger ale .He manufactures a fine article, using on- 
 
 ly the best ingredients. 
 
 His trade is large, and steadily in-

 Kempfer's Stomach Bitters. — These bitters are so well 
 known and in such universal demand, that it is almost impos- 
 sible to manufacture them in sufficient quantities to execute 
 the orders that are continually pouring in for them. It is up- 
 wards of thirty years since Mr. Kempfer succeeded in intro- 
 ducing them, and so speedily did they become known as al- 
 most a certain cure for dyspepsia and diarrhea, that he 
 found himself with an elephant on his hands. But increasing 
 his manufacturing facilities, he w r as equal to the emergency. 
 Being made out of pure ingredients, perfectly innocuous, they 
 act as an excellent tonic to the debilitated system, and are 
 highly renovating for those following sedentary pursuits. 
 One or two bottles will generally restore the system, when 
 from various causes it has become emaciated. Mr. Willian A 
 Meyer, of No. 403 West Eighth Street, is the wholesale agent 
 for them in this city, but they can be purchased at any whole- 
 sale or retail drug store. 
 
 Reuss & Zapf, of 16 Main Street, have made a specialty 
 of manufacturing carriage and wagon bodies, and having lit- 
 tle or no competition in this particular branch of business 
 are succeeding beyond their most sanguine expectations. 
 Concentrating their energies on this branch of the trade, they 
 are enabled to supply carriage and wagon makers with the 
 bodies, all ready to have the axles and springs adjusted, and 
 placed on their wheels, and finished ready for use in a very 
 short space of time. The division of labor in various branch- 
 es of manufacture, which has so rapidly been adopted during 
 the life-time of the present generation, is as yet only in its in- 
 fancy, and Reuss and Zapf, have acted with considerable 
 foresight, and will doubtless establish a very large business. 
 They art enterprising and practical men, and have an excel- 
 lent reputation in our business community.

 CHAPTER I. 
 
 EARLY HISTORY AND SETTLEMENT, GEOLOGICAL FORMATION, &,c. 
 
 cjtpHis city was originally settled in the year 1788, or rather 
 (2^ we may say it was located ; for the few hardy pioneers 
 who came here at that time had no notion or idea of found- 
 ing a city in what was then a wilderness, time accomplished 
 that. 
 
 These pioneers were tough, adventurous spirits, men of in- 
 domitable pluck and endurance, who were ever on the search 
 of adventure, and who like the Indians, lived by hunting and 
 fishing, and who on their travels down the Ohio from the 
 white settlements of Pittsburg, doubtless admired the location 
 and squatted here, alternately fighting Indians and revelling 
 ill the pleasures of the chase, or in trapping and fishing, until 
 other immigrants in search of a western home, came flocking 
 in, drove the pioneers farther west, in search of fresh adven- 
 ture and less populous resorts; many among the fresh arrivals 
 no doubt joined these pioneers, and so the great west was 
 opened to the white man, but many who had families remain- 
 ed on the site of our citv and built themselves homes and 
 
82 CINCINNATI. 
 
 there settled in freedom and independence, to make a living 
 for themselves and families. 
 
 Not that the wily Indian had tamely submitted to give up 
 his birth-right to the white man, far otherwise, for many a fire 
 blackened cabin and blood stained field testified to the sangui- 
 nary feuds that were kept up until our early settlers got strong 
 enough in point of numbers to somewhat intimidate the blood 
 thirsty abrogines. We have nothing reliable about the early 
 history, more than we have stated, till 1789, when one hund- 
 red and forty men, soldiers of the infant republic were sent 
 from Fort Harmar on the Muskingum, in charge of Major 
 Doughty, and built four block houses nearly opposite the 
 mouth of the Licking. When these were finished we are 
 told in "Cist's History" within a lot of fifteen acres reserved 
 for the United States Government, he commenced the con- 
 struction of Fort Washington. The building was of a square 
 form and was simply a fortification of logs hewed and squared 
 each side about one hundred and eighty feet in length, formed 
 into barracks, two stories high. It was connected at the cor- 
 ners by high pickets with bastions or block houses also of 
 hewed logs, and projecting about ten feet in front of each 
 side of the fort, so that the cannon placed within them could 
 be brought to rake the walls. Extending along the whole 
 front of the fort was a fine esplanade, about eighty feet wide, 
 and inclosed with a handsome paling on the brow of the bank, 
 the descent from which to the lower bottom was sloping 
 about thirty feet. The exterior of the fort was whitewashed, 
 and, at a short distance, presented a handsome and imposing 
 appearance. On the eastern side were the officers 1 gardens, 
 freely cultivated and ornamented, with handsome summer- 
 houses. The site of this building is that part of Third street 
 opposite the Bazaar and extending an average breadth of about 
 sixty feet beyond the line of the street on both sides, and be-

 tween Broadway and Lawrence street of the present day. 
 It was completed by November, and on the 29th of the suc- 
 ceeding month General Harmar arrived with three hundred 
 men and took possession of it. 
 
 After this event the development of the city went forward 
 with rapid strides, and in 1S00 it contained nearly eight hund- 
 red inhabitants. 
 
 In 1819 Cincinnati was incorporated as a city, since which 
 time it has progressed steadily until to day it is one of the 
 largest manufacturing and commercial cities in the union. 
 
 Before the advent of railroads the Ohio river was the great 
 source of communication of eastern cities with Cincinnati. 
 The Ohio is formed at Pittsburg by the junction of the Alle- 
 gahany and Monongahela rivers ; flowing south-west, it di- 
 vides Ohio, Indiana and Illinois on the right from Virginia 
 and Kentucky on the left. The Ohio is nearly one thousand 
 miles in length and empties itself into the Mississippi about 
 200 miles below St. Louis. The principal tributaries are the 
 Cumberland and Tennessee, Wabash, Kentucky, Green, 
 Miami, Scioto, Big Land, Great Kanawha and Muskingum 
 rivers. 
 
 Cincinnati is in longtitude 84 26' west of Greenwich, Eng- 
 land, and 39 6' 30" north, the upper terrace of the city being 
 five hundred and fifty feet above the level of the sea. By 
 river Cincinnati is distant from Pittsburg 476 miles, St. Louis 
 708 miles and from New Orleans 1520 miles. 
 
 The geological formation is lower silurian. Sand and grav- 
 el underlie most of the city, whilst adjacent regions furnish in 
 inexhaustible quantities a valuable building material in the 
 form of blue fossiliferous limestone which has been freely 
 used in the city and gives an idea of solidity and wealth not 
 often met with. This with wide well paved streets and the 
 
84 CINCINNATI. 
 
 substantial elegant architecture of the public and mercantile 
 buildings of which we give several views hereafter, combine 
 to strike the visitor with the city's wealth and importance. Ad- 
 jacent to the city lie vast deposits of coal and iron-ore of a 
 superior quality, whilst the adjacent states furnish wood of 
 every description. In fact the valley of the Ohio is the very 
 garden of nature. There is no need of recounting its resour- 
 ces; for every traveler who descends the Ohio sees in the smil- 
 ing vales and forest-crowned hills the evidences of great natural 
 wealth. Nor need we recite how, in the bosom of the hills 
 and under the sandstones of the valley, there lie those inex- 
 haustible beds of mineral riches which may employ the indus- 
 try of men through future ages. The geologist describes them, 
 the miner digs them, and the cunning artificer in the work- 
 shops of Cincinnati employs them in all the forms and pur- 
 poses which civilized man demands. 
 
CINCINNATI. 85, 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 SITUATION OF THE CITY AND GENERAL ASPECT. 
 
 Cincinnati is situated on the north bank of the Ohio Riv- 
 er, in Hamilton County, Ohio, of which it is the county 
 seat, and has a frontage on the river of over ten miles, with a 
 depth of over two miles. 
 
 The largest portion of the city is built on two plateaus, the 
 first or business part of it, with the river bank, is about fifty 
 feet above low water mark, whilst the second plateau rises 
 with an undulating surface to about one hundred and ten feet, 
 and the rise may be perceptibly felt in a walk from Pearl to 
 Fourth Streets, as here the ground rises between those streets 
 almost abruptly. The lower portion of the city is the great 
 mart of Cincinnati's merchant princes, and around here may 
 be seen magnificent stone front houses, r for the transaction of 
 all kinds of wholesale business and supplies for all sections of 
 the country. On the river bank may be seen magnificent 
 steamers for all parts up and down the Ohio and its tributa- 
 ries. On this lower plateau for miles are congregated vast 
 manufacturing establishments in Iron and Steel, Machinery? 
 Woodwork, and the thousand and one things that go to make 
 up a manufacturing city. 
 
 The upper plateau which commences at Fourth street is 
 comprised in large and small retail business houses of every 
 description, markets, residences, churches, parks, gardens, 
 &c. The whole city is elegantly laid out with wide streets 
 and avenues, well paved, whilst shade trees are profusely 
 planted to adorn and beautify the side walks. The streets run 
 due north from the river, the principal of which are Broad- 
 
CINCINNATI. 
 
 way, Sycamore, Main, Walnut, Vine, Race, Elm, Plum and Cen- 
 tral Avenue. These streets are intersected at right angles by 
 streets running east and west. First is the public landing com- 
 prising an area of ten acres all well paved and gradually slop- 
 ing to the lowest water mark, having floating wharfs which 
 rise or fall with the water in the river. 
 
 Next we have Front, Water and Second Streets, where are 
 handled the great staples of this market, Iron, Cotton, Sugar* 
 Tobacco, &c, whilst Pearl Street is the center of business for 
 jobbers in Dry Goods, Notions, Clothing, Shoes, Hats, &c- 
 Third Street is the Wall Street of Cincinnati, and is devoted 
 to Banks, Insurance Agencies, Lawyers, &c, whilst Fourth 
 Street being the fashionable promenade of the city, is also the 
 location of the first class retail stores of the city, some of 
 which are magnificent establishments. On this street alone 
 can be, found treasures of art from all parts of the world, and 
 costly fabrics from every clime. The most fastidious and re- 
 fined taste can be suited here in everything rare, exquisite and 
 delicate. Fifth Street is less pretentious in its show windows 
 and more suitable for persons with moderate means to spend 
 their money in. Sixth Street is the great market of the city 
 held three times a week, when all the country carts for miles 
 around come in with produce to supply the city. Nothing but 
 residences and a few factories next show up till we come to 
 the Miami Canal which has been designated the "Rhine' 1 from 
 the fact that most of our German population live in that sec- 
 tion of the city, and there mostly are situated the Beer Gar- 
 dens and Halls, as well as Breweries, &c. Lager Beer manu- 
 facture is one of the staple industries of Cincinnati, and it is 
 in this portion of the city it is mostly carried on, and employs 
 an immense amount of capital, and the products are yearly 
 many millions of gallons. This district over the "Rhine" or 
 more properly the Miami Canal, south and west and the hills 
 
CINCINNATI. 87 
 
 on the north, contains a population of near one hundred thous- 
 and persons of German birth or descent, and this part of the 
 city was well known during the excitement of 1854. The 
 hills which surround Cincinnati, and which form an amphi- 
 theatre around the city, are very elegant and imposing, studded 
 as they are with handsome residences and exquisite foliage of 
 every kind. 
 
 Cincinnati and the beautiful river can only be appreciated 
 when seen from the summit of one of these hills or from the 
 Lookout House, which was erected by private enterprise and 
 is a monument to the taste and sagacity of its builder and pro- 
 jector; here the Tuetonic portion of our citizens with their 
 families, spend pleasant hours sipping their favorite beverage 
 and listening to the melodies of their native land, as they 
 well enjoy the beautiful scenery around and feel in the pleas- 
 ure thus afforded, that Cincinnati is a good place to live in. 
 
 The suburbs of Cincinnati are delightful and not to be sur- 
 passed in any city in the world, and will amply repay a visit ; 
 there is Avondale, Clifton, Mount Auburn, Glendale, East 
 Walnut Hills, Eden Park, &c, &c. Travelers from Europe? 
 and Americans from other sections of the country all unite in 
 their admiration of these localities and declare them unrivaled 
 anywhere for beauty of scenery and for palatial abodes. All 
 the roads are well made around the city, and present splendid 
 opportunities for riding or driving. 
 
 For a full and vivid description of the beautiful suburbs of 
 Cincinnati, we would refer our readers to a well written work 
 on the subject, by Sidney D. Maxwell of this city. The city 
 is well supplied with public and private conveyances, street 
 rail-cars running to all parts of the city and suburbs at all 
 hours. Hacks can be hired at very moderate charges for the 
 convenience of those who prefer a carriage ride, and that is 
 really the only way to see the beauties of hill and dale with 
 
88 CINCINNATI. 
 
 the elegant homes and tastefully laid out grounds. We must 
 now take a view of the principal objects of interest in the 
 city.

 CHAPTER III. 
 
 BRIDGES, PUBLIC BUILDINGS, PARKS, &C. 
 
 'Pposite Cincinnati lie the towns of Covington and New- 
 -4^ port, Kentucky. Speaking of the bridge which now 
 connects Cincinnati and Kentucky, and which is a wire sus- 
 pension one, a recent visitor said : 
 
 " It springs out from the summit of the broad steep levee to 
 a lofty tower (two hundred feet high) near the waters edge, 
 and then, at one leap, clears the whole river, and lands upon 
 another tower upon the Covington side. From tower to tow- 
 er is one thousand and fifty-seven feet ; the entire length of 
 the bridge is two thousand two hundred and fifty-two feet? 
 and it is hung one hundred feet above low water mark, by 
 two cables of wire. Seen from below, and at a distance, it 
 looks like gossamer work. 
 
 It is estimated that, besides its own weight of six hundred 
 tons, it can bear a burden of sixteen thousand tons. This 
 bridge was constructed by Roebling & Sons of Trenton, N. 
 J., and cost nearly two million dollars; besides this there is a 
 handsome tressle work iron Railroad bridge some distance 
 above the suspension bridge. 
 
CINCINNATI. 
 
 Cincinnati has good reason to be proud of her magnificent 
 public buildings, some of which are among the most splendid 
 that have been erected on this continent. 
 
 CINCINNATI HOSPITAt. 
 
 This beautiful structure is situated at the northeast corner of 
 Twelfth street and Central Avenue. It is acknowledged to 
 be the most handsome, commodious and best constructed 
 Hospital in the United States. It stands on a large hollow 
 square 448 by 340 feet. In the center of the square is a beau- 
 tiful fountain, which during the heated term, cools the atmos- 
 sphere with its refreshing streams. The grounds are orna- 
 mented with umbrageous trees, and ornamental shrubs, and 
 the horticulturist has not failed to improve them with beautiful 
 flowers. In the summer it is a beautiful retreat for those pa- 
 tients who are not obliged to be confined to the interior of 
 the hospital. There is an elegant entrance on Twelfth street, 
 about the center of the block, between Plum street and Cen- 
 tral Avenue. The dimensions of the central part of the hos- 
 pital are seventy-five feet wide by fifty feet deep, and a spac- 
 ious hall runs down the middle. The Superintendent and his 
 family have here their commodious apartments, and on the 
 same floor there are the apothecaries room with a dispensary ? 
 a pathological musuem, reception room, and a medical library. 
 The basement, which is very extensive, has numerous rooms 
 which are appropriated to the storage of all the various re- 
 quirements of this vast hospital, as well as apartments which 
 are exclusively used for the examination of drugs, as no drugs 
 are used by the dispensor until they have received a thorough 
 inspection. Besides these, there is a laboratory, bathing 
 rooms, (which are exceedingly well arranged) for the use of 
 patients, and laundry, as well as cellars, where are stored 
 coal, &c. 
 
90 CINCINNATI. 
 
 On the second story are sleeping rooms for the use of vari- 
 ous officers of the hospital, and there are some private wards 
 for patients, who wish to have private nurses, extra remuner- 
 ation being required, which is charged in accordance with a 
 scale laid down by the Trustees of the Hospital. 
 
 On the third story is the operating lecture room, one of the 
 most convenient in the country, which has accommodation for 
 not less than seven hundred and fifty students. Besides this, 
 there are rooms which are used exclusively by patients, both 
 before and after an operation, as well as apartments for the 
 operating surgeons and their assistants, and in addition there 
 is a bath room, with a laboratory attached. 
 
 The hospital is well worthy an inspection, and visitors to 
 the Exposition will be well rewarded by visiting it, and it is 
 only a very short distance from the Exposition Building. On 
 another page will be found an engraving of the hospital, 
 which gives a very correct idea of the splendid structure. 
 Cincinnati is proud of her hospital; and it cost about a mil- 
 lion dollars. It was finished in 1868, and in January 1869, 
 was opened for the reception of patients. 
 
 CINCINNATI COLLEGE BUILDING. 
 
 This building is situated on the east side of Walnut Street, 
 between Fourth and Fifth Streets, and is built in the Doric 
 style of architecture. The first floor is occupied by the 
 Young Men's Mercantile Library, which has several thousand 
 subscribers. Here are to be found papers from all parts of 
 the world, as well as all the important reviews and magazines, 
 known in the vast range of literature. Besides the Mercan- 
 tile Library there are spacious rooms occupied by the Law 
 School of Cincinnati. In 1S69 the building was partially de- 
 stroyed by fire, at which one of our best fireman unfortunate- 
 
CINCINNATI. 91 
 
 ly lost his life. It was subsequently renovated, and elevated 
 by a new facing, which has been severely criticized by some 
 of our leading- architects. The building has a frontage of 
 one hundred and forty feet, and is one hundred feet deep. 
 
 THE COUNTY COURT HOUSE, 
 
 Is situated on Main Street, fronting Court, and is an impos- 
 ing structure. It cost about a half a million dollars, but to 
 erect a similar building now, would cost upwards of a mil- 
 lion. Here all the legal, civil and criminal trials are held, and 
 the various court-rooms are exceedingly convenient. 
 
 Added to this, there are spacious rooms for the carrying on 
 of the various and multitudinous law business, incidental to so 
 large a city as Cincinnati. 
 
 One of the largest law libraries in the country is in the 
 Court House, which is accessible to every member of the bar 
 for reference. 
 
 THE CITY HALL, 
 
 Occupies a portion of the square on the west side of Plum 
 Street, and is situated close on Central Avenue, between 
 Eighth and Ninth Streets. The Mayor's office as well as all 
 the city offices are here. The Police Court, presided over by 
 Judge Lindeman is always attended by a large number of the 
 curious, who take an interest in listening to the examination 
 of the vicious portion of our community. The grounds con- 
 nected with the City Hall are extensive. 
 
 THE CUSTOM HOUSE BUILDING AND POST OFFICE, 
 
 Is situated on the southwest corner of Vine and Fourth 
 Streets. It has offices which are used as the United States 
 Depository, the United States Court for the hearing of all 
 
92 CINCINNATI. 
 
 offences against the general government, such as counterfeit- 
 ing &c, and the basement is used for Post Office purposes, 
 the Post Office Order department, the Postmaster's office 
 being on the first floor. 
 
 It having been found inadequate for the purpose, the Gov- 
 ernment resolved to build another edifice on the north side of 
 Fifth Street, between Walnut and Main, which when finished 
 will be one of the most magnificent in the country. 
 
 THE CITY WORK HOUSE, 
 
 Is situated a few miles from the city on the Carthage road, 
 not far from the House of Refuge, and is unsurpassed by any 
 building of the kind in any State of the Union. It is five 
 hundred and ten feet long, and contains upwards of six hund- 
 red apartments. The work-shops are very extensive, the in- 
 mates being nearly all employed in some kind of handicraft' 
 The building cost about eight hundred thousand dollars. The 
 accompanying engraving gives a faithful picture of this 
 splendid structure. 
 
 THE TYLER DAVIDSON FOUNTAIN, 
 
 Is situated on Fifth Street, between Vine and Walnut, and 
 is, beyond all comparison, the most splendid fountain in this 
 country, and not inferior to any in Europe. It was projected 
 by the late Mr. Tyler Davidson, who for many years was exten- 
 sively engaged in the hardware business on Main Street, in 
 partnership with his brother-in-law, Mr. Henry Probasco. At 
 his death, Mr. Probasco undertook, at his own expense, to 
 carry out Mr. Davidson's wishes. He visited Munich, in 
 Bavaria, where he had designs drafted, which after long ne- 
 gotiations, were at length approved by him. It cost him up- 
 wards of one hundred thousand dollars, and the liberality dis- 
 played by Mr, Probasco has rendered his name immortal in

 the Queen City. It is scarcely possible to conceive a more 
 beautiful design. The principal figure represents the Water 
 Genius, from whose hands falls the beneficent rain, caught by 
 the agricultural peasant, whose farm is supposed to be suffer- 
 ing from drought. Then there is a man opposite, beseeching 
 for water for his house is on fire. The four jets of water are 
 most artistically arranged. The bas reliefs represent that with- 
 out water we could have no navigation, fisheries, steam or 
 mills. The total height of the structure from the ground to 
 the summit, is thirty-two feet and a half. 
 
 THE GYMNASIUM BUILDING. 
 
 This is situated on the north side of Fourth Street, between 
 Vine and Race. It is a spacious building, and particulary well 
 adapted for a gymnasium. It is well patronized by the young 
 and middle aged men of this city, and is every year becoming 
 more popular. The exercising room is about one hundred and 
 twenty feet in length, forty-five wide, and thirty feet high. 
 There is a reading room attached which is handsomely fur- 
 nished. The bath room is the best in the city, being upwards 
 of fifty feet long, and seventeen feet wide. Some of the prin - 
 cipal merchants of the city are the officers, who feel a special 
 pride in making this useful institution one of the most popu- 
 lar in the city. 
 
 THE MASONIC TEMPLE, 
 
 Is at the northeast corner of Third and Walnut Streets, and 
 is built in the Byzantine style of architecture, of which there 
 are few specimens in this country. It is a splendid building^ 
 one that the Masonic fraternity may well be proud of. Its 
 frontage on Third Sreet is one hundred and ninety-five feet, 
 and on Walnut Street one hundred. It contains a Chapter 
 
94 • CINCINNATI. 
 
 Room, Royal Select Council Room, a Banquet Hall, twenty - 
 , one by fifty-eight feet, a Knights Templar Encampment Asy- 
 lum, besides several other rooms devoted to various purposes. 
 The first floor is almost exclusively occupied as offices by some 
 of our most eminent city attorneys. The fourth story contains 
 a Grand Lodge room forty three feet by seventy- With the 
 exception of the new Masonic Building in New York, it is 
 the most handsome in the United States. 
 
 pike's opera house, 
 
 On the south side of Fourth Street, between Vine and 
 Walnut, is considered one of the finest buildings in the city. 
 It was erected by the late Mr. Samuel N. Pike, after the de- 
 struction of his original opera house, which took place in 
 March 1866, immediately after the audience had dispersed. 
 The internal arrangement is entirely different from the build- 
 ing he first erected. That was more strictly a theatre, with 
 pit, stage, boxes and gallery, while the present building is de- 
 voted to offices, besides an extensive concert room, better 
 adapted for concerts and public meetings than for theatrical 
 performances, but it is most unquestionably the building that 
 is the grand embellishment of Fourth Street. Fine as some 
 of the blocks in New York City are, we know of none even 
 in that city, that exceed in beauty, that on which Pike's Opera 
 House is situated, between Walnut and Vine, on Fourth 
 Street. 
 
 THE GRAND OPERA HOUSE, 
 
 Is situated on the west side of Vine Street, between Long- 
 worth and Sixth. Up to recently it was known as Mozart 
 Hall, but the interior having been recently remodelled, and 
 converted into a grand theatre, capable of seating comfortably

 three thousand persons, is the reason why its name has been 
 changed. 
 
 THE HUGHES HIGH SCHOOL, 
 
 Which has a very high reputation, is a fine building in the 
 Gothic style of architecture, situated on the south side of 
 Fifth Street, nearly opposite to Mound Street. The architect 
 has manifested considerable genius in the erection of this 
 building, the octagon towers being entirely original in their 
 design. Perhaps no building was ever more admirably con - 
 structed for a school than this building. 
 
 THE WOODWARD HIGH SCHOOL, 
 
 On Franklin Street, between Sycamore and Broadway was 
 built from funds appropriated for that purpose by the will of 
 one of our wealthy citizens. It is an institution that has obtain- 
 ed a very high reputation, the " Woodward" boys as they are 
 called being some of our most distinguished and honored cit- 
 izens. 
 
 st. xavier's college, 
 
 On the corner of Sycamore and Seventh Streets, is one of 
 the noticeable buildings of Cincinnati. It fronts sixty-six feet 
 on Sycamore Street, and one hundred and sixty-six feet on 
 Seventh Street. The institution was established in 1828, and 
 about ten years afterward it passed into the control of the 
 Society of Jesus, under the auspices of which the present 
 structure was erected. Over the entrance is carved the motto, 
 " Ad major em Dei Gloriam." The impression conveyed by 
 this edifice is that of massive grandeur and strength, and a 
 durability measured only by time itself. 
 
CINCINNATI. 
 
 CHURCH EDIFICES. 
 
 Among the more costly and elegant church edifices, may he 
 mentioned Trinity Methodist Episcopal, on Ninth Street, 
 west of Race; St. John's Episcopal, corner of Plum and 
 Seventh; First Presbyterian, on Fourth Street, near Main, 
 with a steeple two hundred and seventy feet high; Central 
 Presbyterian, corner of Mound and Barr Streets; St. Xavier's 
 Catholic, on Sycamore Street, near Seventh; and the Ninth 
 Street Baptist, east of Race Street. The latter is considered 
 to have the most tasteful audience room in the city.

 ST. PETERS CATHEDRAL. 
 
 This splendid edifice is situated on the block of ground be- 
 tween Eighth and Ninth, and Plum and Central Avenue. It 
 is unquestionably the finest building of the kind outside of 
 New York. Its spire is two hundred and fifty feet high, 
 resting on a colonnade of Corinthian columns. It was com- 
 pleted in 1853, about eleven years after its commencement.

 Here are to be witnessed all the imposing ceremonials of the 
 Catholic ritual service. The music of the choir and splendid 
 organ attract many visitors. Adjoining the Cathedral is the 
 Archbishop Purcell's residence. 
 
 st. Paul's methodist episcopal church. 
 
 This is acknowledged to be one of the most beautiful 
 churches in the city, the fresco work being magnificent. The 
 church is situated at the corner of Seventh and Smith Streets. 
 
 THE JEWISH TEMPLE, 
 
 Which is situated at the corner of Plum and Eighth Streets, 
 is one of the most magnificent structures in the city, and is 
 frescoed more beautifully than any other building of the kind 
 in the United States. The celebrated and learned Dr. Wise, 
 the Editor of the Israelite and Deborah, is the Rabbi who 
 presides over its congregation, one of the wealthiest in the 
 city. Its style of architecture is entirely original, there being 
 no building of the kind in the United States. All the intern- 
 al decorations are superb, and art critics have declared that 
 they are unrivalled in any Jewish Temple in this country. 
 
 THE MOUND STREET TEMPLE, 
 
 Of the Congregation " Bene Israel," is situated on the North- 
 east corner of Mound and Eighth Streets. It is both ex- 
 ternally and internally one of the handsomest buildings of the 
 city. The style of architecture is the Moorish Byzantine, and 
 the interior is frescoed in the highest style of the art, the ceil- 
 ing being peculiarly beautiful with gold stars on a sky blue 
 ground. The members of this Temple comprise some of the 
 best and wealthiest of the Jewish community; the choir and 
 
CINCINNATI. 
 
 organ, under the leadership of Prof. Andres is acknowledged 
 to be unsurpassed in the country; and the minister is Dr. M. 
 Lilienthal, a well-known and noted scholar, whose weekly 
 sermons and lectures are equally attractive to Jews and Chris- 
 tians. 
 
 LONGVIEW ASYLUM FOR THE INSANE, 
 
 Is situated not far from Carthage, distant about six miles 
 from the city. It is a splendid building, so imposing, that it 
 attracts the attention of the passengers on the railways enter- 
 ing and departing from the city. It is considered a model in- 
 stitution, and is constantly visited by those who feel an inter- 
 est in the welfare of the insane, as well as by physicians from 
 all parts of the country. It is a state institution and is gov- 
 erned by a Board of Commissioners, who are appointed by 
 the Governor of Ohio. The late Mr. Isaiah Rogers, a well 
 known architect of Cincinnati, was its architect. It is a 
 brick building, and is two hundred and four yards long. The 
 immense length of the building gives it an imposing appear- 
 ance, and it strikes the eye of the beholder as a grand build- 
 ing, as he gazes on its immense frontage. Its interior arrange- 
 ments have been so far commended as to be pronounced as 
 near perfection as it is possible for them to attain, and the 
 building, if not absolutely fire-proof, is nearly so. All the 
 stairways are built of iron, and the floors are all laid in ce- 
 ment. There are about six hundred apartments in the build- 
 ing, those in the upper stories being devoted to the use of 
 convalescents. Eminent success has attended the treatment 
 the insane have received in this Asylum, hundreds, during the 
 fifteen years that it has been in existence, having been cured 
 of the frightful disease. The building is lighted by gas, which 
 is manufactured on the premises, and it is heated by steam 
 and hot air. So carefully has it been constructed, that it 
 
CINCINNATI. 09 
 
 seems impossible to conceive how a fire could originate in the 
 building. It was finished in the era of low prices, the \ car 
 before the war broke out, and cost about $500,000. 
 
 LINCOLN PARK, 
 
 Is situated on the west side of Freeman Street, between 
 Clark and Hopkins Streets, and is one of the most beautiful 
 parks in or around the city. It has a splendid sheet of water, 
 and is in every respect a great adornment to the city. In the 
 summer evenings, there is an immense assemblage of prome- 
 nade rs. 
 
 EDEN PARK. 
 
 This is a place of great resort, especially for the bon-ton. 
 It is situated at the East end of the city, and can be reached 
 by cars in about fifteen minutes from the Post Office. The 
 views from some of the beautiful avenues can scarcely be sur- 
 passed in point of grandeur and sublimity. 
 
 THE CITY PARK, 
 
 Is on Plum Street north of Eighth. 
 
 HOPKINS PARK, 
 
 Is on the corner of Mt. Auburn Avenue and Saunders 
 Street. 
 
 WASHINGTON PARK, 
 
 On the north side of Twelfth, between Race and Elm, is 
 the oldest of the public pleasure grounds. It was formerly 
 the Presbyterian burying- ground of the city. Its noble trees, 
 beautiful lawns, fountain and other beauties, are much enjoy- 
 ed by the multitude who frequent it.

 ACROSS THE RHINE. 
 
 The manufacture of lager beer employs an immense capi- 
 tal in this section of the city. Its consumption is annually on 
 the increase. The product here amounts to many millions of 
 gallons annually. Lager beer can be made to advantage only 
 in the winter season. It is indispensable that it have ample 
 time to ripen in the cellar before use. There are many im- 
 mense cellars, in some of which five hundred thousand gal- 
 lons of beer can be stowed away. One phase of German 
 life, and one not uninteresting, can be seen only in the gar- 
 dens where lager beer is dispensed in the summer season. 
 Many of them are thronged during the warm evenings. 
 
 THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDEN, 
 
 Although not yet completed and only in its infancy, is 
 worthy of inspection. At the time of our writing, we are 
 unable to state whether it will be open by the first of Sep- 
 tember or not. There is the large buffalo house, as well as a 
 large drinking and bathing pool in the enclosure. The Zoo- 
 logical Society of Cincinnati, will in a short time cease to 
 rival any other in the country, because it will be so far super- 
 ior to any other, that "comparisons will be odious. "' With- 
 out going into details, we will mention that already the col- 
 lection of animals and birds is quite extensive, and that there 
 is no doubt that the Zoological Garden will in a very short 
 time be immensely popular. 
 
 SPRING GROVE CEMETERY. 
 
 Spring Grove Cemetery in natural beauty cannot be sur- 
 passed. It is situated at Millcreek, about four miles from the 
 present Post Office. The grounds contain about four hundred 
 and fifty acres full of noble forest trees, and glades with mini-

 erous springs and beautiful foliage. Elegant and costly Mon- 
 uments, Mausoleums, and Chapels, mark the last resting place 
 of names now only left as mementos of the builders of Cin- 
 cinnati's wealth and importance. Spring Grove Cemetery is 
 well worthy of a visit. The buildings at the entrance are of the 
 Norman Gothic style of architecture, and cost nearly sixty 
 thousand dollars, the fine avenues and undulating grounds are 
 of the most picturesque description; this is to the west of the 
 city. On the east side we have Eden Park, a magnificent, al- 
 most natural park, which in the summer time is the great 
 drive of the bon-ton of the city.

 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 PEACE AND WAR TIMES, POPULATION, OCCUPATION, BUSINESS, Etc. 
 
 o the west of Central Avenue a large district is rapidly 
 growing up, in extent, beauty and population, and is a fav- 
 orite place of residence for those who can not or do not care to 
 live in the suburbs. There are very many handsome dwellings 
 in this section of the city, and handsome streets till Millcreek is 
 reached, now the western boundary of the city. It is in con- 
 templation to fill in this creek, and thus extend the city to the 
 base of the western hills by reclaiming the intervening land 
 which could be made extremely valuable and useful in this 
 way. Through the enterprise of Wm. Price and his sons, an- 
 other beautiful suburb has lately been made available to our citi- 
 zens as a place of recreation or as a place to reside, we mean 
 
102 CINCINNATI. 
 
 Price's Hill, to which, there are now Omnibuses running from 
 the Post Office constantly, to connect with the new Inclined 
 Plane Railroad to the summit of the hill, and to say nothing of 
 the delightful air to be had here in all its freshness, the view is 
 grand in the extreme. From here or the heights north of the 
 city, the scene presented to the eye is one of extraordinary 
 beauty. Three hundred and fifty feet above the river com- 
 mands a view of portions of two States, three cities, numer- 
 ous villages, the graceful curve of the river, and the grand 
 sweep of the hills. Cincinnati, Covington, and Newport — the 
 two latter divided by the Licking River — and the United 
 States military post on its eastern bank, lie off to the south. 
 On the east may be seen the bold front of Mt. Adams, with 
 its observatory, founded by the distinguished astronomer and 
 noble patriot, O. M. Mitchel, and the beautiful suburb of Wal- 
 nut Hills ; on the west, the magnificent range of hills and the 
 great river winding onward in its ceaseless course toward the 
 Father of Waters. The beautiful suburb of Clifton, with its 
 magnificent country seats, is also visible. Away to the north 
 the eye sweeps over the beautiful highlands, with the splendid 
 mansions and inviting drives, and takes in a portion of the 
 peaceful valley holding in its embrace that most beautiful of 
 cemeteries, Spring Grove. In a clear atmosphere, the charm- 
 ing village of Glendale, twelve miles distant, may be seen. 
 The eye falls also upon the range of hills which bristled with 
 fortifications during the civil war, when Cincinnati was 
 almost a "border city. 1 ' In 1862, when the city was menaced 
 with attaek by a strong army pushing up through Kentucky, 
 every hilltop had its breastworks and heavy cannon, while 
 the cheerful alacrity with which the people rose en masse to 
 swell the ranks and crowd into the trenches was a sight 
 worth seeing, and, once seen, could not readily be forgotten. 
 Here were the representatives of all nations and classes. The 
 
CINCINNATI. 103 
 
 sturdy German, the lithe and gay-hearted Irishman, went 
 shoulder to shoulder, in defense of their adopted country. The 
 man of money, the man of law, the merchant, the artist, and 
 the artisan, swelled the lines hastening to the scene of action, 
 armed either with musket, pick, or spade. Added to these 
 was Dickson's long, dusky brigade of colored men, cheerfully 
 wending their way to labor on the fortifications. But the 
 pleasantest and most picturesque sight of those remarkable 
 days was the almost endless stream of sturdy men who rush- 
 ed to the rescue from the rural districts of the State. These 
 were known as the Squirrel Hunters. They came in 
 files, numbering thousands upon thousands, in all kinds of cos- 
 tumes, and armed with all kinds of fire-arms, but chiefly the 
 deadly rifle, which they knew so well how to use. Old men, 
 young men, middle-aged men, and often mere boys, dropped 
 all their peculiar avocations, and with their leather pouches full 
 of bullets, and their ox-horns full of powder, poured into the 
 city by every highway and byway, in such nnmbers that it 
 seemed as if the whole State of Ohio were peopled only with 
 hunters, and that the spirit of Daniel Boone stood upon the 
 hills opposite the city beckoning them into Kentucky. 
 
 The pontoon bridge, which had been completed between 
 sunrise and sundown, groaned day and night with the per- 
 petual stream of life all setting southward. In three days, 
 there were ten miles of intrenchmeuts lining the hills, making 
 a semicircle from the river above the city to the banks of the 
 river below, and they were thickly manned from end to end. 
 
 The riyer also afforded protection by its flotilla of gunboats 
 improvised from the swarm of steamers which lay at the 
 wharves. A storm of shot and shell, such as they had not 
 dreamed of, would have played upon the advancing columns 
 of an enemy, while the infantry, pouring down from the fort- 
 ifications, would have fallen upon the rear. 
 
104 
 
 CINCINNATI. 
 
 The commanding general congratulated the citizens upon 
 the^ rally and the result : "Paris may have seen something like 
 it in her revolutionary days, but the cities of America never 
 did. Be proud that you have given them an example so 
 splendid." The Queen City never surrendered. 
 
 Viewing Cincinnati from the river, one would imagine that 
 the hills which form an amphitheatre around the city left no 
 outlet for the vast railroad system which centers here, but the 
 reverse is fortunately the fact. Opposite the mouth of the 
 Licking on the sides are the two Miamis; on the south of the 
 present city is Millcreek ; through a ravine on the north runs 
 Deer Creek; and thus the circling hills were pierced by nature, 
 as if for the very purpose of opening out those lines of com- 
 merce which were to make the arteries of a great inland city, 
 and which, as they interlocked to the north, made numerous 
 summits and vales — now the site of elegant residences and 
 gardens. 
 
 To give some idea of the vast railroad business done here 
 daily, over 103 passenger trains arrive and the same number de- 
 part. And the freight business is still greater. Cincinnati, now 
 well known as the Queen City of the West, or as some desig- 
 nate it the " Paris of America," has an importance as a com- 
 mercial city second to none in the United States in its own pe- 
 culiar way, and strange as it may appear, the growth of this 
 city has been greater within the past ten years than at any 
 preceding period in its history. It is also a strange fact that 
 this city is the most densely populated in the Union, we 
 do not mean in point of numbers but in the compact space in 
 which the majority of the citizens seem to live like bees in a 
 great "Bee Hive." The great impetus in the growth of Cin- 
 cinnati has been since the War. Its growth in population 
 since the year 1800 is as follows : 
 
 In 1S00, about 800.

 In 1870, " ... . 250,000. 
 
 In 1875, about 287,586. 
 
 The original elements of the population were chiefly from 
 Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and a few German families. 
 
 It was not however till about 1830, that the German element 
 came here in large numbers ; now they form nearly one-third 
 of the population. Of course with this influx of population, 
 every conceivable occupation was brought with them, until 
 at the present time nearly five hundred different industries 
 are carried on in this city, showing conclusively the real foun- 
 dations of its prosperity. 
 
 Art and science are well represented in all their branches, 
 and manufactures of every kind abound. This is a matter 
 not understood, why Cincinnati shonld be better oft', or more 
 solid, than other cities in the Union, but the fact is that such 
 a unity of interests as are here represented give her more 
 stability than if dependent on one, two or a dozen large in- 
 stitutions. Then where the materials are to be found, thither 
 flock the small manufacturers, and then the workmen, and so 
 the population is dependent one on the other all around. 
 
 The main branches of business or productive industry in 
 
 Cincinnati, is taken from the Report of the Chamber of 
 
 Commerce, with their values. We will give the year 1872, 
 
 a very prosperous one, in which they stood as follows : 
 
 Iron, $25,725,431. 
 
 Other Metals, 4,344,650.

 And this of neccessity must be minimum figures. In 1873 
 owing to the financial crisis, although our banks and business 
 houses stood firm, yet there was a loss of over sixteen mil- 
 lions, in the sale of the above articles. 
 
 In 1874 there was a considerable revival in trade, and we 
 expect the businessof the city has fully revived in 1S75, ano - tnat 
 the books of our Merchants and Manufacturers after the fall 
 trade, will more than average the splendid business of 1872. 
 
 Nor must we omit the great staple of Cincinnati, " Pork," 
 for probably the city is better known abroad as "Porkopolis," 
 and it well deserves its name, for no city in the Union has 
 such a number of pork-packing and curing establishments. 
 
 The visitor to Cincinnati, should not fail to visit, if here in 
 the winter season, one or more of these collossal institutions 
 and see the huge animal dissected by the skilled workmen. 
 
 
CINCINNATI. 107 
 
 The following description is given ot the process after the 
 slaughtered hog is delivered on the cutting-table: "Two 
 simultaneous blows with a cleaver sever the head and the 
 hind-quarters from the trunk, and the subdivision of these 
 is accomplished by three or four masterly cuts with the same 
 instrument. Near the table are the open mouths of as many 
 large wooden pipes as there are kinds of pieces in a hog; 
 and these lead to the various floors below, where they are 
 put on ice, salted, packed and shipped. 
 
 The Commerce of Cincinnati, is not restricted to South or 
 West, but extends all over the known world. Its Starch may 
 be found in Russia ; its Candles in Greece ; its Crackers in 
 China ; and its Pork everywhere. On the Atlantic coast 
 most of its breadstuffs may be found, but the largest export 
 trade has been with New Orleans, Memphis and other South- 
 ern ports, for a general distribution through the whole 
 Southern States, and even to Mexico. 
 
 The manufactured articles go chiefly to the West and 
 South-west ; or in other words to new settlements, where 
 furniture, stoves, candles, and every article necessary to the 
 comfort of a household, are all chiefly needed. Among these 
 articles is in fact the home itself; for one of the curiosities of 
 Cincinnati, is the making and exportation of houses by 
 wholesale, for the new farms and towns of the great West 
 and South. 
 
 Far down the Ohio and Mississippi, on the vast plains of 
 Texas, Kansas, and West, far up even to the head waters of 
 the Missouri, the Cincinnati manufacturer has put up whole 
 houses, every ioint and floor of which has been sawed, planed 
 and grooved in this city. In the same regions, furniture, ma- 
 chinery, mills, plows, &c, made here, all find a market in 
 abundance.

 CHAPTER V. 
 
 CHARITIES OF THE CITY. 
 
 Jk j he- Charities of Cincinnati are very numerous and are 
 vi^ well supported. Space will not permit us to give more 
 than a list of them. 
 
 The Union Bethel. The Bethel work, at this time, em- 
 braces the following departments: 
 
 i. The River Mission, among boatmen, etc. 
 
 2. Systematic Visitation of Families. 
 
 3. The Bethel Church. 
 
 4. The Bethel School. 
 
 =;. The Relief Department. 
 
 6. The Sewing School. 
 
 7. The Free Reading and Cheap Dining Hall. 
 
 5. The Newsboy's Home. 
 
 The Orphan Asylum is a Protestant Institution, and is 
 situated on Mount Auburn. 
 
 The Relief Union. A Board of Managers, composed 
 of members from each ward, gratuitously devote much time 
 and care, and have given it years of experience. The design 
 of the institution is: 
 
 The prevention of vagrancy and street-begging; 
 
 The diminution of imposition upon the benevolent: 
 
 Advice and instruction to all as to some honest means of 
 procuring a livelihood; , 
 
 The placing of the young in secular and Sabbath Schools; 
 
 The relief of those who are known to need it, by gifts of 
 food, fuel, clothing, and other actual neccessaries. 
 
CINCINNATI. 109 
 
 The Childrens' Home has branches all over the city. The 
 institution aims to ameliorate and elevate the condition of the 
 children of poor and unfortunate parents: 
 
 i st. By procuring for the homeless and destitute who may 
 be committed to it, in accordance with its charter, permanent 
 country homes in Christian families, where they shall be 
 trained in habits of industry, and receive a suitable English 
 education. They are clothed, fed, and instructed gratuitously 
 as long as they remain in the institution. 
 
 2d. By affording a temporary home to poor children, whose 
 parents, thus aided, may be enabled to support them in a short 
 time in homes of their own. 
 
 3d. By rescuing from the education of the streets, so ruin- 
 ous in its effects, many who, for the want of clothing, books* 
 etc., do not attend the Public Schools. 
 
 The German Protestant Orphan Asylum was chart- 
 ered in 1849. A structure of ample dimensions was erected 
 upon Highland Avenue, Mt. Auburn, to which extensive ad- 
 ditions have recently been made. The aims and modes of op- 
 eration of this institution are similar to those of the Cincinnat 1 
 Asylum. 
 
 Home for the Friendless. . This institution has the 
 following as part of its constitution: 
 
 This Society shall be called " The Protestant Home for the 
 Friendless, and Female Guardian Society." 
 
 The object of this Society shall be to seek out and provide 
 a home for destitute females who, having forsaken the path 
 of virtue, or having fallen into the hands of the betrayer, de- 
 sire to return from their evil way, and again become respecta- 
 ble members of society. And it shall be the duty of the So- 
 ciety to guard virtuous females (who may seek temporary 
 protection in the Home) from the snares of vice, by aiding 
 
110 CINCINNATI. 
 
 them in every laudable way to obtain an honest livelihood and 
 avoid temptation. It shall be its duty also to provide tempo- 
 rarily for destitute children, and, whenever practicable, to se- 
 cure for them permanent homes in respectable families. 
 
 Ladies Union Aid Society. The object of this Society 
 is to relieve the destitute sick and the deserving- poor, without 
 regard to color, and render aid to suffering humanity in gen- 
 eral. «.: 
 
 St. Luke's Hospital. The object of this institution is to 
 afford medical and surgical aid and nursing to sick and disabled 
 persons; by a hospital and other appropriate means, and. also 
 to provide such persons with the ministrations of the Gospel- 
 
 Widows 1 Home. The object of the institution Isto 1 provide 
 a home for aged and indigent females, who can give satisfac- 
 tory testimonials of good conduct and respectable character.

 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 PUBLIC SCHOOLS, SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES. 
 
 The free public schools, of the city, are numerous, and to 
 them all the youth of the city of both sexes between the 
 ages of five and twenty-one years have access. These schools 
 are well attended by children of all religious denominations, 
 with the exception of the Roman Catholics, who principally 
 send their children to their parish schools. Then there are a 
 great number of private schools and seminaries. The public 
 schools here have long been well known for their efficiency. 
 The details of their workings we have not space to give here. 
 A Board of Trustees elected by the people, administer the 
 business affairs, and a Board of Examiners appointed by the 
 City Council decide upon the qualifications of all teachers. 
 
 LOCATION OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS. 
 
 A new and important feature was inaugrated in 1S6S, the 
 opening of a Normal School for qualifying females who in-

 WATCH. 
 
 The movements are made in Switzerland, expressly for Duhme & Co., by the 
 most skillful workmen of the Continent. 
 
 The Cases, manufactured in the Watch-ease department of Duhme & Co.'s Gold 
 and Silver Works, Cincinnati, are models of mechanical skill. 
 
 In all respects these Watches meet the views of the most exacting. 
 
 The splendid record they have made, under thorough tests, justifies in repre- 
 senting them as accurate time keepers. 
 
 They are heavily cased in solid 18 Kt. gold. 
 
 They require no key. 
 
 Price S250 ; which is $100 less than the same class of Watch is sold by any other 
 manufacturer. 
 
 Each movement and each case is stamped " Duhme & Co." 
 
 A full guarantee accompanies each Watch.

 Solid Gold and in Solid Silver, gives Duhme & Co. every facility for furnishing any 
 special design in Watch Cases, Chains, etc., that may be required for Presentation 
 Purposes for personal use. 
 
 Few persons are so acceptable to young persons of either sex, upon " starting 
 out in life," as a reliable Watch, an a' a congregation wishing to present a Clergy- 
 man with a token of regard, can select nothing more appropriate. 
 
 Parties wishing to purchase and who are not familiar with the character of the 
 various grades of American Watches, stating to us the amount they propose invest- 
 ing in a Watch, and whether they wish one in Gold or in a Silver case, will be fur- 
 nished with full information, and upon purchasing a Watch from our House, can 
 rest assured that it is the best Watch made, at the price, and also guarantee that it 
 Shall prove satisfactory as a Time Keeper.

 In recent years the public schools have been augmented by 
 the addition of high schools, owing to the liberality of two 
 •of Cincinnati's earliest pioneers — John Hughes and William 
 Woodward, and which buildings we have referred to in an- 
 other part of this book. In character they resemble colleges 
 and the pupils are those who obtain the highest number 
 •of marks at the public schools, at the usual annual exam- 
 inations. In these high schools one of which is for boys 
 and the other for girls, the pupil may pursue the highest range 
 of studies, thus enabling children of the most obscure and 
 poor parentage to get an education equal to those of the rich- 
 est of our citizens. 
 
 There are two theological colleges, one Roman Catholic on 
 Millcreek, and the other Presbyterian on Walnut Hills. 
 Then there are various commercial colleges which give only 
 instruction in the elements of commercial business. 
 
 The Law School has been thirty-five years in successful 
 •operation, and is a branch of the Cincinnati College. The 
 Medical College is first class in every respect and was found- 
 ed over fifty years ago. Then there is the Miami Medical 
 College, a new institution comparatively, but very good, with 
 an able faculty. 
 
 The Physio Medical College would be better known as 
 the Botanical College. 
 
 The College of Dental Surgery is of the highest order, and 
 has turned out some very eminent men. 
 
114 CINCINNATI. 
 
 THE PUBLIC LIBRARY, 
 
 Situated on the west side of Vine Street, between Sixth 
 and Seventh streets, is an institution of which Cincinnati is 
 justly proud. The building is the largest of its kind in the 
 United States, and is probably more complete in all its ap- 
 pointments for the purposes of a popular library, than any 
 other in the world. There are three reading rooms, that in 
 the front building being devoted exclusively to newspapers; 
 the one in the intermediate building to periodicals and to gen- 
 eral reading; while the third, in the rear or main building, is 
 reserved for the use of students and ladies. In the third story 
 of the front building is a magnificent collection of illustrated 
 works, which is open to the public during the week, from 8 
 A. m. to 6 p. m., and from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m., on Sundays. The 
 reading rooms are open from 8 A. m. to 10 p. m., every day in 
 the year. 
 
 In the 92 alcoves of the Main Hall alone there is ample 
 shelf-room for 250,000 volumes, and nearly half a million vol- 
 umes can be shelved within the building. Nearly 600 mag- 
 azines and newspapers are kept on file, representing all the 
 departments of human knowledge as well as the various 
 shades of religous and political opinion. The Library proper 
 contains 80,000 volumes, and increases at an average rate of 
 10,000 volumes annually. It has been used last year by about 
 450,000 persons, and is constantly growing in public favor. 
 The Building was erected by the Board of Education, at an 
 expense of $500,000. The present internal organization of 
 the Library is due to the Librarian, Mr. Thomas Vickers, 
 whose aim is to make, in connection with the popular circulat- 
 ing department, a collection which shall meet the wants of all 
 who are interested in scientific and literary studies. 
 
 

116 CINCINNATI. 
 
 THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. 
 
 This department, for the protection of the life and property 
 of our citizens, is without dispute the most efficient and 
 prompt in the United States. Enoch G. Megrue is the Chief 
 and is a veteran in the business, a man of indomitable cour- 
 age and bravery, who does not order the men to positions of 
 danger but is the leader always, and his "follow me boys" 
 would take his men into the jaws of death, or the mouth of 
 hell after him. There are twenty districts each of which has 
 a powerful Steam Fire Engine, and the usual accompani- 
 ments of Hook and Ladder Companies, and we believe there 
 is one Chemical Engine. The Alarm Telegraph is of great 
 service also. The fire department is under the control of a 
 Board of Commissioners. The department is paid and every 
 effort is made to keep it effective with the growth of the city.

 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 CITY GOVERNMENT, COURTS OF JUSTICE, NEWSPAPERS, Etc. 
 
 tHE city affairs of Cincinnati are managed by a Mayor, a 
 City Council composed of two members from each 
 ward, and a Board of City Improvements, which is composed 
 of the Mayor, City Civil Engineer, and three City Commis- 
 sioners. The members of the citv council are required to be 
 freeholders and residents of the city, three years prior to elec- 
 tion. The present mayor is Geo. W. C. Johnston. 
 
 The Police department is very efficient, and is under the 
 control of the mayor. Col. Thomas Snelbaker is the present 
 chief. 
 
 The Board of Health, is well and ably conducted, and 
 does much for the health and comfort of the citizens. 
 
 The Trade and Commerce of the city is carefully watched 
 over by two institutions, one is the 
 
 Chamber of Commerce. 
 
 Its object is to afford occasion and place for the discussion 
 of all leading questions of mercantile usage, of finance and the 
 laws affecting commerce; to facilitate business intercourse, 
 and adjust differences and disputes in trade. The President is 
 CM. Holloway, and the Superintendent Sidney D. Maxwell. 
 
 THE BOARD OF TRADE. 
 
 This organization was formed in 1S6S, to represent and pro- 
 mote the immense industrial interests which make Cincinnati 
 
CINCINNATI. 119 
 
 the third in importance of manufacturing cities in the United 
 States. Its effort will be to collect and record such local and 
 general statistical information relating to manufactures and 
 commerce as may promote the manufacturing, commercial, 
 and financial welfare of the city of Cincinnati, and especial- 
 ly to protect, foster, and develop its manufacturing and indus- 
 trial interests. Its officers are as follows : 
 
 W. T. Bishop, President; John Simpkinson, Treasurer; 
 J. F. Blackburn, Secretary; Vice-Presidents: P. P. Lane, 
 Clement Olhaber, Daniel B. Pierson, W. S. Dickinson, John 
 J. Henderson, I. B. Resor. 
 
 ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE. 
 
 i. Justices of the Peace are elected by the voters of 
 each township, for terms of three years. They have juris- 
 diction in all civil suits, with a few exceptions, when the debt 
 or damages do not exceed three hundred dollars. In criminal 
 cases they have jurisdiction throughout the county, of minor 
 offences, and to hold persons accused of crime to answer the 
 charge in the Court of Common Pleas. 
 
 2. The District Court is composed of the three judges 
 of the Court of Common Pleas of Hamilton County, and 
 one of the judges of the Supreme Court of Ohio, any three 
 of whom constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. 
 Two terms are held each year, commencing on the first Mon- 
 day of April, and first Monday of October respectively. 
 
 3. The Court of Common Pleas is composed of three 
 judges, elected by the people of Hamilton County, for a term 
 of five years. The regular terms of the Court commence on 
 the first Monday of January, the Second Monday of May 
 and the first Monday of November in each year. 
 
 4. The Superior Court of Cincinnati consists of 
 
120 CINCINNATI. 
 
 three judges, elected at city elections, by the voters of Cin- 
 cinnati, for the term of five years. The terms of the court 
 commence on the first Monday of each month, except July,, 
 August and September. 
 
 5. The Probate Court, a court of record, open at all 
 times, is holden by one judge, elected by the voters of the 
 county for the term of three years. He has jurisdiction in. 
 probate and testamentary matters; in the appointment of ad- 
 ministrators and guardians; in the settlement of the accounts, 
 of executors, administrators, and guardians. 
 
 6. The United States Courts held in the city of Cin- 
 cinnati are the Circuit and District Courts for the Southern 
 District of Ohio. The District Court is held by the District 
 Judge, and has jurisdiction in cases in admiralty, in bankrupt- 
 cy, of all seizures, of all suits for penalties and forfeitures, and 
 of suits at common law by the United States, or any officer 
 thereof. The Circuit Court consists of a judge of the Supreme 
 Court assigned to the Circuit, and of the Judge of the Dis- 
 trict Court of the District. A recent statute provides for the 
 appointment of an additional Circuit Judge. The Circuit 
 Court may be held by either of the judges. It has, in gener- 
 al, cognizance of crimes and offences cognizable under the 
 authority of the United States, and of suits of a civil nature.

 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 THE HOTELS OF CINCINNATI. 
 
 The leading hotels of the city are the following: 
 
 THE BURNET HOUSE. 
 
 This splendid building is situated on the north side of Third 
 Street, between Vine and Race, and has lately been greatly 
 improved, and a large sum of money expended in its interior 
 renovation. The entrance to the hotel on Third Street is very

 fine. It has a frontage of upwards of two hundred feet on 
 Third Street, and two hundred and ten feet on Vine. It held 
 for many years the name of being far superior to any other 
 hotel in the city. It enjoys a very extensive patronage. The 
 property belongs to the heirs of the late Samuel N. Pike, Esq . 
 who purchased it for half a million dollars. 
 
 THE GIBSON HOUSE. 
 
 This elegant and imposing building and most popular ho- 
 tel, is situated on Walnut and Fourth streets. It is owned by 
 our well known citizen, Peter Gibson, Esq. The lessees are 
 Col. O. H. GefTroy, who for many years has been identified 
 with the hotels of this city, and Mr. John B. Gibson, son of 
 the owner. 
 
 The Gibson House was rebuilt in 1S75, at a cost of 
 $1,000,000, aud has all the modern improvements, furnished 
 in the most elaborate and elegant manner. The situation is 
 the most accessible of any hotel in the city, being in the 
 center of business, and all the street car lines in the city pass 
 this block. The capacity is over 300 sleeping rooms, and its 
 table stands without a superior, having the especial attention 
 of the proprietors. 
 
 Within the next year such additions will be added to this 
 hotel, that will make it the Largest Hotel in the I r nited States. 
 
 THE GRAND HOTEL. 
 
 This magnificent building is situated at the south-west cor- 
 ner of Central Avenue and Fourth Street, and is considered 
 one of the best managed hotels in the country. It is leased 
 by Messrs. Gilmore and Sons. It was built by a joint stock 
 company, and cost with the land about $Soo,ooo. The vesti- 
 bule to the hotel is superior to that of any in the country 
 
Madison House

 MJIJJ STREET, (BET. F&OJIT& SECOND, 
 
 CINCINNATI, O. 
 
 This Hotel is situated in the center of the business portion of the city, near the 
 Steamboat Landing, and convenient to the street cars— only a short distance from 
 the Railroad Depots, and in every way well adapted to the wants of the traveling 
 public. The rooms are large, well furnished, and perfectly ventilated. The Office, 
 Wash-room, Baggage-room, Periodical Stand, and Sample-room are on the ground 
 floor and conveniently arranged. The Halls are wide and well-lighted, while the 
 Stair-cases are wide ami of very easy ascent. 
 
 The "Madison" can accommodate 200 Guests comfortably, and will be contin- 
 ued upon the same liberal plan, as heretofore. Chargesshall be moderate in accord- 
 ance with the times. 
 
 JNO. W. GARRISON, Proprietor. 
 
140 CINCINNATI. 
 
 The Grand Hotel has been patronized by President Grant? 
 who highly eulogized it. It has been furnished in the most 
 sumptous manner, regardless of expense. 
 
 WALNUT STREET HOUSE. 
 
 This hotel is situated on the east side of Walnut, between 
 Sixth and Seventh Streets, and enjoys a very high reputation. 
 It has never lost its good name, and is extensively patronized 
 by travelers from all parts of the country. 
 
 THE MADISON HOUSE. 
 
 This elegant and comfortable hotel, is situated on the west 
 side of Main Street, below Second, Mr. John W. Garrison, 
 being the present proprietor. It contains 110 sleeping rooms? 
 en suite, or single as required, and has comfortable accommo- 
 dation for at least two hundred guests. 
 
 The building is six stories high, with a stone front, and was 
 built expressly for a hotel. We know of no hotel in the city 
 where any parties can be domiciled more comfortably or feel 
 more like being "at home," than at the Madison House. Mr. 
 Garrison commenced the hotel business thirty-three years 
 ago, and in 1852 erected the present house. Some ye?rs ago 
 he sold out, and the proprietor changed the name from the 
 "Madison House" to the "Metropolitan," but on Mr. Garrison 
 re-purchasing it, he again changed the name to the "Madison 
 House." The hotel has a very high reputation, and the 
 charges are very moderate, in fact, exceedingly so, consider- 
 ing the excellent accommodation, and the liberal table that is 
 provided by its clever proprietor. 
 
 HENRIE HOUSE. 
 
 This old established hotel is on Third Street, between 
 Main and Sycamore Streets, and is very accessible for pas-

 LION BREWERY. 
 
 The Liox Brewery, the property of Messrs. C. Wixdish, 
 Gottlieb Muehlhauser and Henry Muehlhauser, is 
 situated on both sides of Plum Street (Miami Canal), and oc- 
 cupies the greater part of the squares between Wade and 
 Liberty Streets. This celebrated firm was organized in the 
 year 1S66, and commenced business at the place where there 
 was at that time an old foundry. This was used for a pro- 
 visional brewery. The first cellar was built in the same year. 
 In the next year — 1S67 — the building was erected that now 
 forms the upper wing. In the years iS6Sand iS6Qthe south- 
 ern cellars and the present lower wing of the brewery were 
 built, the center or principal building was erected later. The 
 area which is covered by the Brewery, with stables, yards, 
 <&c, is 555 feet in front by 150 feet in depth, and without the 
 premises is valued at least at $150,000. Without question, 
 this Brewery is the largest and best regulated in the West, 
 and only two or thiee in the United States are able to risk a 
 competition with the Lion Brewery. The illustration of this 
 palatial establishment in the "Guide" will give to the readers 
 an idea of its extension and style. 
 
 For brewing purposes an engine of 100 horse power is em- 
 ployed, and for heating the whole building only steam is in 
 use so as to avoid the danger of fire. Beside the great engine 
 the firm employs two smaller ones. Under all the buildings 
 there are double vaulted cellars, the floor of the lowest one 
 
168 CINCINNATI. 
 
 being 42 feet under the ground. The cellars are two stories 
 high and consist of 10 separate compartments. The Brewery 
 thus possesses 20 cellars, each 150 feet long, sufficient to store 
 away 30,000 barrels of beer. 
 
 For brewing there are used 3 copper kettles, one of which 
 contains 350 and the two others 150 barrels. These coppers 
 are so clean and polished that they can serve for mirrors, as 
 throughout the whole building the most scrupulous cleanli- 
 ness prevails by order of the proprietors. 
 
 In the lower story the visitor will find 4 gigantic malt cel- 
 lars, the floors of which are covered 6 inches high with wet 
 barley for sprouting purposes. The barley, having undergone 
 the sprouting process, is removed to the malt kiln, dried, 
 cleaned and ground. Then it goes to the mash-tub, in which, 
 by the temperature of the water, the formation of sugar is 
 promoted. When the pure, clear malt extract has been taken 
 oft", the whole goes to the great copper, where the proper pro- 
 portion of hops is added. This mixture has to be cooked sev- 
 eral hours till the desired strength of beer is obtained, then it 
 is cooled by the renowed Baudelotte's cooling apparatus. Af- 
 ter having gained the necessary cool temperature it goes to 
 the fermenting vat, where it undergoes the fermenting process 
 till the beer is ready for being stored away. Then it is filled 
 in barrels and put in the cellars. The whole process of brew- 
 ing requires great accuracy, experience and knowledge, and 
 takes about six weeks of hard, skillful labor. 
 
 The second story is filled with immense quantities of bar- 
 ley and hops. In 1874 the enterprising firm imported 50,000 
 bushels of barley from California for the purpose of brewing 
 the celebrated Pilsener beer. 
 
 The great engine is in the lower story, but the cooling ap- 
 paratus and the coppers are in the second. From the appa- 
 
CINCINNATI. 169 
 
 ratus the hot beer runs down through many pipes, winding 
 like serpents, to the cellars, and when if has arrived 40 feet 
 under the ground, is as cold as ice. 
 
 The cellars are models of architecture and durability. 
 There is a whole fortune invested in the construction of these 
 subterranean cellars. A great staircase brings the visitor 
 from broad daylight to night's darkness, and only the light of 
 a torch enables him to look at the gigantic vats on both sides, 
 each of which contains 100 barrels of •"Lager." Every thing 
 is quiet, solemn, mysterious like in the great mammoth cave — 
 we only hear the echo of our own steps and the pulsation of 
 our heart. But we are not at the end of the infernal dominion 
 yet — another staircase leads us to the lowest cellar, 42 feet 
 under the level of the street. 
 
 It can easily be calculated what capital and labor have been 
 put in requisition to construct such cellars and erect such a 
 substantial building as the Lion Brewery, with its costly 
 machineries, coppers, vats, cooling apparatus and all modern 
 improvements. To these expenses have to be added the 
 costs of horses, wagons, the wages of a hundred of skillful 
 hands, mechanics, drivers, the expenses for gas, fuel, &c, and 
 the immense quantities of barley, hops, &c. No wonder that 
 the bill ot expenses for keeping such an extensive establish- 
 ment in running- order reaches the high figure of a million of 
 dollars. 
 
 The senior proprietor of the Lion Brewery, Mr. Conrad 
 Windisch, is what we call "a self-made man. 1 ' He owes his 
 fortune and his elevated position among our first-class busi- 
 ness men to his energy, his industry and his knowledge. He 
 w»as born in Bavaria, Germany, and when 16 years old was 
 instructed in the noble art of brewing u Lager." In 1849 he 
 emigrated to America. When he arrived in New York he 
 had only very small means at his command. He went to

 As an Expectorant it has no equal. 
 
 It is composed of the active principles of roots and plants, which are chemically

 offered for sale tex years ago. Its good qualities were soon made known at home 
 and very soon its fame was noised far and near ; now it is sold in every Drug Store in 
 the United States. No similar medicine stands higher with the people. It is well 
 known on the Pacific Coast, and even from Australia large orders are received for it; 
 and throughout Canada it is well and favorably known and sold everywhere.

 Pittsburg and was engaged in a brewery near that place for 
 some three months. He then went to St. Louis and to Belle- 
 ville, where he remained some months longer. Then(iS5o) 
 he came to Cincinnati, where he remained ever since. On 
 arriving here he secured a situation in Herancourt's brewery, 
 which is located on the Harrison pike, just over Mill Creek 
 bridge, near Ernst's Station. Here he worked for some $11 
 a month for a little less than a year, when he went to work 
 in Koehler's brewery on Buckeye Street, and continued there 
 until 1854, when he formed a co-partnership with another 
 man, who had some capital, but who was not a practical 
 brewer. This firm continued in business with wonderful suc- 
 cess, making a large amount of money. In 1866 Mr. Wind- 
 isch withdrew, and the firm of Windisch, Muehlhauser & 
 Bro. was established. 
 
 Mr. Windisch, by his long experience as a brewer, has 
 gained a very wide reputation for his beer, which is consid- 
 ered unsurpassed in the country. Not only himself, but Mr. 
 Gottlieb Muehlhauser, both give their personal attention to 
 the brewing, knowing at all times just the condition of the 
 grain, etc. It is just this which has secured them their im- 
 mense trade and reputation, both of which are well deserved.

 They are also brass founders, a branch of their business 
 which is rapidly increasing. The name of Gibson in the 
 plumbing trade of Cincinnati is familiar to the oldest inhabi- 
 tant, our well known citizen Peter Gibson having been the 
 first to introduce the water closet in this city. Thomas Gib- 
 son & Co., succeeded to his business, and they have kept up 
 the reputation of the old house, adopting all the improvements 
 which the progress of the age and science have introduced 
 from time to time. It is a wealthy firm, able to buy on the 
 closest terms, and consequently able to give their customers 
 the benefit of their business facilities.

 plays in the Exposition, distancing 
 all other houses, and being freely 
 acknowledged to have achieved 
 a complete victory over all com- 
 petitors. This year he has resolv- 
 ed to surpass all previous efforts, 
 and has laid in an immense stock 
 of new autumn millinery, compris- 
 ing an extensive assortment of 
 choice, rich and elegant bonnets, 
 trimmed and untrimmed. in be-

 F. \V. Biere & Sox, piano forte manufacturers at No. 170 
 West Court Street, have a splendid reputation for producing 
 instruments that are not excelled in this country. They com- 
 bine every improvement in tone, touch, power and durabili- 
 ty, and enjoy the proud distinction of having won the high- 
 
CINCINNATI. 185 
 
 est premium at the Cincinnati Industrial Exposition against 
 the most formidable opposition. Years of experience in the 
 business have enabled them to fill orders for a thoroughly 
 well made and durable piano at a moderate price, and so well 
 do they know their business, that they have no hesitation 
 whatever in warranting for five years every piano they turn 
 out. The indorsements of professors of music, musical crit- 
 ics and dealers, besides hundreds of others who have used 
 their pianos, have been forwarded to them unsolicited, con- 
 stituting- such a croud of approving witnesses, as no similar 
 establishment on this continent can produce. Mr. Biere was 
 first introduced to the piano forte making business in Europe 
 in 1S30, and commenced here on his own account on Court 
 Street in the year 1867. F. W. Biere & Son, are the only 
 piano forte manufacturers in this city, and the}- have gained 
 laurels which some eastern manufacturers may well envy 
 them. 
 
 Educate the Children. 
 
 The wise and good of all ages have considered the period 
 of youth of vast importance. A moment of observation and 
 reflection will convince every enlightened mind that it is so ; 
 that there are responsibilities connected with it, and results 
 determined by it. which renders it the most important period 
 in life. Interests, vaster than thought can explore, cluster 
 around it and warn us to regard it with deep concern. All 
 the hope of future usefulness lies there. In it are the devel- 
 oping elements of human destiny. Use it wisely, and the fu- 
 ture will be bright and glorious. Spend it in idleness or vice, 
 and life becomes a weary load of care and sorrow. This is 
 the great problem which all young men have to solve. Up- 
 on its proper solution depends the weal or woe of the period 
 of manhood. No one can sow weeds and reap wheat.

 Parents, you can not too carefully study the interests of 
 your children during the period of youth. It is then that 
 they need a guide and teacher. They can not think wholly 
 for themselves, or lean on their own unaided judgment. They 
 must be led, instructed, and tenderly cared for. A great part 
 of this* task devolves on you, but you can not wholly attend 
 to the education of your children; much of it must be left to 
 schools and teachers. The question, then, as to what school 
 you will send those children, and who shall be their teachers, 
 becomes one of vast importance. 
 
 This matter can not be too carefully considered. Do not 
 act upon it in haste, or without due thought. Determine what 
 kind of an education you will give your children, and then 
 send them to the best school of that class. We believe that a 
 thorough English education, ending with a practical business 
 training:, will be of the orreatest value to the masses of our 
 boys and young men. We know that Nelson's Business Col- 
 lege of Cincinnati is the best place for them to obtain this 
 practical training. Its appointments are all first-class, its 
 teachers competent, and its course of instruction thorough. 
 Send your boys to this school, and you will never regret it ; 
 their youth will be well spent, and in their manhood they will 
 become honorable and useful.

 Cincinnati's Suburbs. 
 
 ^S^TRANGERS from every part of this continent, as well 
 r§7 as visitors from the continent of Europe, who have seen 
 the suburbs of Cincinnati, have frequently proclaimed them 
 to be unrivaled by any city thev have ever visited. Travel- 
 ers who have seen half the cities of Europe have been so 
 loud in the praise of the enchanting scenery that environs 
 us, that we should fail in our duty if we did not urge on the 
 thousands of visitors that will within the next few weeks be 
 in our midst, not to fail to make an inspection of some of 
 the lovely spots where many of our wealthy citizens reside. 
 
 The most convenient way*to see to advantage these su- 
 burbs is to hire a carriage and take a three or four 
 hour's ride, making an agreement as to the fare with the 
 driver. We will advise the visitor to proceed to 
 
 CUMMINSVILLE, 
 
 situated about four miles from the city, where he will see a 
 thriving township, where some of the most lovely cottages 
 are situated, with picturesque gardens attached to them, pre- 
 senting an air of comfort and prosperity all around. The 
 road from hence to 
 
 SPRING GROVE CEMETERY 
 
 is studded with some very elegant residences, and is a charm- 
 ing drive. If there is time, a visit should be paid to the 
 cemetery, which is acknowledged to be one of the most 
 beautiful in the country. Here are to be seen magnificent 
 
190 CINCINNATI. 
 
 monuments to those who have passed from life, and who are 
 honored for the worthy deeds performed by them as they 
 journeyed through this earthly pilgrimage. A visit to it will 
 amply repay for the time necessary for its inspection. Many 
 of the monuments have cost thousands of dollars, and ate as 
 handsome as any to be seen in Greenwood Cemetery at 
 Brooklyn, or that of Pere la Chaise, in Paris. . But the tour- 
 ist can not forever linger in this beautiful " city of the dead," 
 but re-entering his carriage, we will advise him to drive di- 
 rect to 
 
 CLIFTON, 
 
 which is one of the prettiest drives in the country. Clifton 
 is -par excellence, the suburb that contains some of the 
 most splendid palatial residences in our vicinity. Here is the 
 beautiful mansion of our liberal citizen, Henry Probasco Esq.. 
 who donated to Cincinnati the fountain of which she is so 
 proud; Mrs. Bowler's mansion,, the driver will point out, 
 with the elegant hot-houses and green-houses. The comfort- 
 able residences of Richard Smith. Esq., the editor of the Cin- 
 cinnati Gazette; of Senator W. P. Wallace, and of Messrs. 
 Redway and Burton, will attract attention. Here also is to 
 be seen Calvary church, with its beautiful steeple, which was 
 added to it, at the expense of Mr. Probasco. The roads 
 round Clifton, as well as the side- walks are exceedingly well 
 kept. Situated on high ground, the views north and south, 
 and east and west are [truly enchanting. A short drive will 
 conduct the tourist to another beautiful suburb, that of 
 
 WONDALE, 
 
 which is not more than four miles from the Post office. It is 
 rapidly becoming a favorite resort for our citizens. Beauti- 
 ful houses are being erected, and the scenery is little inferior 
 to that of Clifton. But we must not forget 
 
194 CINCINNATI. 
 
 BURNET WOODS, 
 
 which was purchased not very long since by the city from 
 Messrs. Groesbeck and Burnet. This is a favorite resort of 
 those of our citizens who can afford to keep their carnages, 
 and are fond of listening to the discoursing of good music, 
 which is provided on certain days of the week, through the 
 liberality of our distinguished citizen, W. S. Groesbeck, Esq., 
 who donated a few months since the magnificent sum of $50,- 
 ood for that purpose. But we must not forget in this short 
 sketch of the suburbs of Cincinnati, 
 
 MOUNT AUBURN, 
 
 where the tourist will see some of the most beautiful man- 
 sions in the country. The residence of John Shillito, Esq., 
 the eminent dry goods merchant, which is situated on the 
 mount will not escape attention. There are also several pub- 
 lic institutions here on a large scale, the buildings of which 
 are very grand. By this time, it is probable that the traveler 
 will have become somewhat wearied. If he is, he can drive 
 to 
 
 LOOKOUT HOUSE, 
 
 only a few minutes drive from Mount Auburn. The enter- 
 prizing proprietor, Mr. Frank HarfT, has made this famous re- 
 treat the resort of thousands on a hot summer's evening. 
 Situated on the summit of a hill, and directly overlooking 
 Cincinnati, a better view can be obtained of the Queen 
 City than from any other point in our vicinity. A complete 
 view of it can be had from this spot, embracing all its public 
 buildings and its various thoroughfares. The coup d'ceil is 
 grand. There is the beautiful Ohio with its broad and wind- 
 ing stream, and the lovely hills of Kentucky, rendering the dist- 
 ant landscape study for the lover of the picturesque. No 
 one that is fond of grand tableaux from nature, and backed

 by a city, where great manufacturing and industrial pursuits 
 are carried on, will not fail to be delighted with the view to 
 be obtained from Lookout House. 
 
 Presuming that the tourist has seen enough to gratify him 
 for one day, we would advise him to defer his visit to 
 
 MOUNT ADAMS 
 
 to another occasion. This is situated a little more than a mile 
 from the Post Office, and can be reached by proceeding in an 
 easterly direction along Sixth street or Third street. There 
 are not many buildings erected on its summit, it being to a 
 considerable extent inhabited by our industrious artizans. On 
 near the top of the hill is the expensive pyrotechnic factory 
 of Mr. Diehl, which is open for inspection by strangers on 
 application to the proprietor. The view from the Mount is 
 very fine, as a very extended view of the Ohio river can be 
 obtained, and as only a short distance intervenes between 
 Mount Adams and the broad and rapid stream, an excellant 
 landscape is presented of the opposite State of Kentucky. 
 
 EAST WALNUT HILLS 
 
 Is another delightful suburb of our city, which has been rap- 
 idly populated within the past few years. The shady lanes 
 and umbrageousness of its beautiful roads have made it ex- 
 ceedingly popular. Aristocratic Clifton, for a long time 
 considered the "Hills," as only a resort for the merchant of 
 modern pretensions, but that day is passed. The views from 
 here are unquestionably as picturesque as those from any in 
 our beautiful suburbs. 
 
 Again, we here have a fine view of the Ohio, and looking 
 eastward, a view diverse from any that can be seen in the 
 neighborhood of our city. Mr. W. S. Groesbeck has built a 
 beautiful mansion here, but there are so many of a palatial 
 
196 CINCINNATI. 
 
 character, that we have not space to enumerate them. In the 
 distance is 
 
 MOUNT LOOKOUT, 
 
 from whence the eye can gaze forty to fifty miles in nearly 
 eve.iy direction, with an unbroken view. Adjacent to East 
 Walnut Hills are 
 
 WEST WALNUT HILLS, 
 
 on which are beautiful residences, and the views from them 
 are lovely in the extreme. These suburbs can be reached by 
 a new line of street cars, which can be taken at the Post Office 
 on West Fourth Street. 
 
 One of the most interesting vicinities of Cincinnati is that 
 of 
 
 COLLEGE HILL, 
 
 On which some of our well known citizens reside. One of 
 the most beautiful residences on the Hill is that of Mr. J. N. 
 La Boyteaux, connected with the well known firm of Duhme 
 & Co., of this city. It is built in a circular form, with win- 
 dows looking in every direction on the varied landscapes. 
 There is a splendid view of Clifton from some of its apart- 
 ments, and the city can be clearly seen on a fine day. 
 
 General Samuel F. Cary has resided here for several years, 
 and Mr. Fred. Hunt, who was a prominent Journalist in this 
 city, when some of its present leading papers were in their 
 infancy, has become the owner of a cosy residence on the 
 beautiful Hill. Before long, there will be a railway direct to 
 this charming suburb. If the tourist is in a carriage, we 
 would recommend him to take a view of 
 
 LONGVIEW ASYLUM, 
 
 which we have elsewhere described. The 
 
 CITY INFIRMARY, 
 
 where several hundred of our unfortunate poor are cared fot\ 
 
Cincinnati:. 197 
 
 is also well worth a visit to. We have also, elsewhere, given 
 a description of this fine building. But beautiful 
 
 CARTHAGE, 
 
 named after a celebrated city of the ancient world, is a char- 
 ming place. It is not the magnificent scenery of it that pleases 
 the visitor, but the green foliage, in summer, and the beauti- 
 ful autumn tints that delight the eye of the tourist. 
 
 Where shall we go next, he will naturally inquire. We 
 advise a little excursion to 
 
 price's hill, 
 where he will be carried by the car or omnibus, and almost in 
 the twinkling of an eye, raised to its summit by the inclined 
 plane, and arriving there, will, from one of our western su- 
 burbs, obtain altogether a different view of the city than any 
 that he has previously obtained. 
 
 Some think a ride out to 
 
 FULTON 
 
 a delightful excursion, skirting as it does, for upwards ot three 
 mile " la belle riviere" but it must be somewhat monotonous 
 in our opinion. True, when we have passed the railway works 
 and Pendleton, we can reach Columbia, most certainly a 
 pleasant spot to retire to after the fatigues of the day. Many 
 of our well known citizens reside here, some of whom have 
 built elegant residences. Among them, we may mention Dr. 
 T. J. Harcourt, the noted Dentist of Sixth street. 
 
 There are many other very pleasant suburbs to our city, but 
 we would advise our visitors not to omit, while they have the 
 opportunity of paying their respects to our sister cities of 
 
 COVINGTON AND NEWPORT. 
 
 Every one who knows anything of Cincinnati, has heard 
 of our beautiful Suspension Bridge, built by the celebrated 
 engineer, Mr. Roebling. We would recommend our traveler 
 to walk down Vine street, aid cross the structure that con- 
 
198 
 
 CINCINNATI. 
 
 FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, SEVENTH ST. 
 
 
 nects the Buckeye and the Corncracker States, and take a 
 bird's-eye view of Covington, that contains 35,000 inhabitants, 
 a large proportion of whom' transact their business in Cincin- 
 nati, and retire there at dewy eve, after the labor of the day is 
 performed; then cross the Licking bridge, and he will find 
 himself in the hospitable little city of Newport, with its 
 15,000 inhabitants, surrounded by its lovely hills. 
 
 When the visitor to our Industrial Exposition has gone over 
 the ground that we have advised him to travel, we know that 
 he will come to the conclusion, as the widow of the celebra- 
 ted Sir John Franklin did in the year 1S70, when she visited 
 our city, and as the heir to the British throne, Albert Edward, 
 Prince of Wales, did in 1862, and the Duke of Newcastle, 
 who accompanied him, that no fairer and no more beautiful 
 suburbs to a city can be found on the face of the civilized 
 globe.

 CINCINNATI INDUSTRIES, 
 
 Sheet Music and Musical Instruments. 
 
 HIGH ART, 
 
 AVhen spoken of in a commercial sense, must devolve upon those 
 exponents which govern music. The classical air of refinement which 
 centers around an establishment devoted to the muses, becomes at 
 once characteristic of all that is refined, elevating, and divine, and 
 we could scarcely mention any feature of industry more important to 
 the welfare of a community where luxury and comfort are studied, 
 than those establishments which dispense man's inventive genius in 
 the forms of music and musical instruments. 
 
 MR. P. W. HELMICK, 278 WEST SIXTH STREET, CINCINNATI, 
 
 Has, during the past five years, stood prominently in the fore- 
 ground as the leading representative in this line of business, not only 
 in this city, but in the entire West, and from his opportunities to 
 study the aesthetic tastes pf a critical community, stands to-day as the 
 best authority in all matters appertaining to the publication of music, 
 as well as the leading musical instruments in the country. In con- 
 nection with his Cincinnati establishment, he has also another pub- 
 lishing house in Philadelphia., where his plates are kept, which are

 And music book department, are to be found over one million dif- 
 ferent pieces of music, besides music books, all properly arranged

 detail in this department is without parallel in any other business, 
 and what is more, is constanly kept up : for instance if you do not 
 know the name of a song, or only remember a line, or a bit of the air 
 somebody in the house will find it if it is in print. Here also may be 
 found numberless pieces of the best works in the market. All noted 
 Foreign and American authors are represented by this house. In 
 this extensive and carefully selected stock of new and .staple vocal 
 and instrumental music are to be found many of the most popular 
 works of the day emanating from this house, among them — 
 
 SADIE DARLING. 
 
 FIRST VERSE. 
 
 Sadie, darling, pretty flower, 
 
 Do you not remember well, 
 In your little cot of roses, 
 
 Loving st- ;ries we did tell ; 
 Where the merry birds were singing, 
 
 Blithe and merry in the dell, 
 Where we oft have sat together, 
 
 For we both were loving well. 
 
 CHORUS. 
 Sadie, darling, fondest treasure, 
 
 Say you never can forget ; 
 For I'll soon be with you darling, 
 
 Sadie, dear, I love you yet. 
 
 This is regarded as one of the prettiest songs published this season. 
 The first edition was disposed of in nine days ; over seventeen hun- 
 dred copies were sent to San Francisco. The new edition is now 
 ready, and it can be played on the piano or organ. 
 
 SILVER THREADS ARE OFTEN SEEN. 
 
 This song has been sung at concerts, church entertainments, and by 
 minstrel troupes, etc., with great success, and is meeting w T ith great 
 popularity, and is an answer to "Silver Threads Among the Gold." 
 
 JIM FISK, JR., OR HE NEVER WENT BACK ON THE POOR. 
 
 This song has been nightly sung by the most popular artists all 
 over the country, and created such an immense enthusiasm that the 
 managers were compelled at times to quiet the audience and beg of 
 
210 CINCINNATI. 
 
 them to cease applauding. It is certainly, without exception, the 
 finest motto song ever published. No home where there is a piano 
 or organ should be without this extremely popular song. 
 
 MOTHER LET THE ANGELS IN. 
 
 This beautiful song has been sung by various artists with un- 
 bounded success. One is quickly impressed with its charming melody 
 and elegant words which are admirably adapted to the music, surpass- 
 ing anything of the kind lately published. 
 
 VERSE. 
 I may say farewell, mother, 
 
 For I am going home ; 
 Now open wide the door, mother, 
 
 And let the Angels come, 
 And let them bear me home, mother, 
 
 To that bright world above 
 Where Angels voices sing, mother, 
 
 Their sweet, sweet songs of love. 
 
 It is one of the few songs that touch the hearts of those who have 
 "Let the Angels in." 
 
 TELL ME TRULY LITTLE DARLING. 
 
 This is another great success, and is destined before long to be in 
 the hands of every player on the piano in this country on account of 
 its beautiful and original melody. 
 
 DOWN BY DOT ORCHARD. 
 
 An original German sketch, and very nicely arranged for the 
 piano. 
 
 FIRST VERSE. 
 
 (He) It vas down in de orchard by a tree. 
 
 Dot you promised me for sure you'd be my vife. 
 But now you let your beoples interfere, 
 
 Dots de vorsists ding I see in all my life. 
 Vot I have done to you I dont can tell, 
 
 But I never dot you would treat me so ; 
 Und now I shust going to say farewell, 
 (She) Oh Migal ! Migal ! dont you, dont you go, 
 
 At the conclusion of this song is a very popular waltz. 
 
 OH, ISN'T HE A TEASE ? 
 
 A new Ladies' Serio-comic song and chorus. 
 
 I've got a beau, a nice young man, lie's sweet as he can be, 
 He comes to see me twice a week, and dearly he loves me ; 
 He puts his arm around my waist, my hand he loves to squeeze, 
 T rather like the feeling, though ; but he's an awful tease.

 CHORUS. 
 
 No matter what I do or say, 
 
 Himself he likes to please, 
 I always let him have his way, 
 
 He's such an awful tease. 
 
 The above song is pronounced by judges of comic songs to surpass 
 anything of the kind lately published ; the music is nicely arranged, 
 full of melody, with an enchanting change in the chorus, which is in 
 Waltz time, producing a very pretty effect. It is well adapted for re-

 One of the prominent features of this establishment is its large, 
 selected stock of stringed, wood, and brass instruments, being most 
 complete in all lines of Guitars, Banjos, Cellos, Double Basses, Flutes, 
 Clarionettes, Fifes, Tamborines, French and German Accordeons, 
 Zithers, Flageolets, Piccolos, French Harps, Drums. Concertinas, 
 Music Boxes, from $2 to $1, 400; Violins, new, from $2 to $50 ; old, 
 from $50 to $1, 000. The $1,800 Violin is a genuine Cremona, there 
 being but two in Cincinnati, and but few in the world. 
 
 A noted specialty of this house is in their large and carefully se- 
 lected stock of violin strings, imported direct from Germany every 
 thirty days. The stock is always fresh, and the reputation of strings

 coming from this house is such that theatrical troupes and musi- 
 cians having once used them, constantly order them by mail from all 
 parts of the United States. 
 Mr. F. W. Helmick is also the manufacturer of the 
 
 CHAMPION PARLOR ORGAN. 
 
 This instrument contains all the latest improvements, and owing 
 to its low price, sweet tone, and singing qualities, is fast becoming a 
 general favorite, being well adapted for churches, lodges, schools so- 
 cieties and parlor uses. 
 
 Here also may be found an exclusive stock of organs of the most 
 reputable manufacturers of the country, which will be sold for cash 
 cheaper than ever before, or on easy monthly payments until paid for. 
 
 Purchasers of music or musical instruments will find every article 
 they need at this establishment. Those needing a single piece of 
 music, upon rece ; pt of price can have the same sent to them by mail, 
 free of postage, any distance, from one to three thousand miles. 
 There are also connected with this house experienced workmen, for 
 the repair of all kinds of musical instruments at moderate charges, 
 with a guarantee of satisfaction. 
 
 This house is regarded as the most successful publishing house in 
 the West. The reader may form some idea of its trade, which ex- 
 tends from Maine to California, from the fact that it has advertised 
 its publications within the past three years in some twenty-seven 
 hundred papers at a cost of over forty thousand dollars. The conse- 
 quence has been that the house is now daily receiving orders for from 
 a single piece of music valued at thirty or forty cents to be sent thou- 
 sands of miles away by mail, postage free, to orders running into 
 thousands, to be shipped by rail.

 since many years of well merited popularity, not only 
 among the population of Cincinnati, but his fame as a per- 
 fect impressario of art has also transgressed by far the cor- 
 poration lines, and is acknowledged as " fixed fact" in the 
 whole west. Therefore it could not fail that the localities 
 heretofore used by Mr. Beck in No. 264 Vine Street were 
 insufficient for his extensive business and he was compelled 
 to erect a new building in No. 278 and 280 Vine between 
 Seventh and Eight Street, furnished with all modern im- 
 provements of a great Bazaar and all the comforts for his 
 numerous customers. Inviting our readers to a visit of our 
 old friend Beck and entering his establishment we are at 
 once convinced that we can not give a more proper name to 
 this glittering exhibition of martial implements than Inter- 
 national Armory. 
 
 But after having introduced our friends to the amiable and 
 coroteous commander they will at once understand that the 
 gold trimmed uniform, shining armors, glittering swords, 
 and other paraphernalia of the cruel Mars only serve for the 
 noble purposes of peace and social enjoyment. Here in the 
 show window we see the splendid equipment of a Knight of 
 Phythias in which he only has to put his limbs in order to at- 
 tract the attention of the fashionable world on the streets. 
 There are exhibited the fine emblems and costly regalia of the 
 Odd Fellows and invite us to take a hand in their charitable 
 work. In whatever direction the beholder turns, his eyes 
 meet with the characteristic signs of the different Lodges and 
 Associations. The Free Masons, Knights Templars, Knights 
 of Phythias, Odd Fellows, Ancient Order of United Work- 
 men, the St. George Knights, and the Knights of Honor are 
 represented in Beck's Bazaar by their Uniforms, Equipments, 
 Decorations, Emblems, Badges, Regalia, etc. 
 
 It would be a hard task to describe this grand exhibition in 
 
 
CINCINNATI.

 detail — it would be better for our readers to call at No. 278 
 and 280 Vine Street, and they will be amply rewarded by 
 going through an inspection of a Bazaar which has no equal 
 in the West. 
 
 The business of Mr. Wm. Beck has increased in the last 
 year to such an extent, that he has come to the conclusion to 
 take a partner in the very efficient and trustworthy person of 
 his son August, very well known to the public by his amia- 
 bility and politeness. This partnership will be formed on the 
 14th of September, 1875. 
 
 John Grossius of No. 
 3S9 Main Street, is we be- 
 lieve, more largely engag- 
 ed in the manufacture of 
 
 § furnaces and ranges than 
 my other house in this 
 
 i city. Hot air furnaces have 
 come into such extensive 
 use of late years, that the 
 manufacture of them has 
 engaged the attention of 
 eminent scientific men. 
 Mr. Grossius has succeed- 
 ed in obtaining for the 
 furnaces, cooking ranges 
 and stoves which issue 
 from his establishment, a 
 reputation of the highest 
 kind. An instance of it 
 came to our knowledge 
 some time since, and which 
 perhaps is not generally 
 
218 CINCINNATI. 
 
 known. The school board of this city were desirous of ob- 
 taining the best stoves and furnaces that could be obtained 
 for the public schools. A committee was appointed to in- 
 vestigate the merits of those manufactured by Mr. Grossius 
 and others in a similar line of business. After thorough in- 
 vestigation, and experiments being made as to the quanity of 
 fuel consumed, and their heating qualities, Mr. Grossius was 
 successful in distancing all his competitors, and obtained or- 
 ders from the school board by a unanimous vote, to place his 
 stoves in the schools, notwithstanding that there was some 
 back stair influence at work in opposition to his obtaining the 
 contract. We do not think we could add stronger evidence 
 of the fact that Mr Grossius is entitled to our saying, with- 
 out any prejudice against any other manufacturer of similar 
 goods, that he takes rank as one of the best, we think we 
 ought in justice to say the best, manufacturer of hot air furn- 
 ces, ranges and stoves, in the Queen City of the West. 
 
 Loughead & Porter, of No. 22 Hannibal Street, not far 
 from the depot of the Cincinna.i Hamilton and Dayton Rail- 
 road, are very extensively engaged in business as manufac- 
 turers by steam power of doors, sashes, shutters, and all 
 kinds of building material. This firm has extensive facilities 
 for carrying on this trade, and they have large business con- 
 nections with builders throughout this and the surrounding - 
 states. We have several large establishments in our city en- 
 gaged in this trade, but Loughead and Porter are among the 
 largest. They give employment to a large number of hands^ 
 and having extensive capital, have the means to keep ample 
 stock of old seasoned timber, a desideratum for the successful 
 prosecution of the manufacturing business in which they are 
 engaged.

 Duhme & Co. — This well known and old established house 
 is situated *at the south-west corner of Fourth and Walnut 
 streets. There is no house outside of New York that does so 
 extensive a business in the jewelry business. They employ a 
 vast number of hands in the manufacturing departments, 
 producing goods of the most elaborate and costly descrip- 
 tions, which has given them a very splendid European repu- 
 tation, it being no uncommon occurence for them to receive 
 orders from foreign countries for costty silver sets. Pages 
 might be written descriptive of their immense establishments 
 and its costly contents, and then the pen would fail to have 
 done justice to this eminent firm. Purchasers of jewelry, sil- 
 ver ware, gold and silver articles, diamonds, and the thousand 
 beautiful articles to be found in magnificent establishments of 
 this kind, will find all that can tempt the lye at the famous 
 house of Duhme and Co. 
 
 Maue & Co., at the north-east corner of Fifth and Vine 
 streets, is known as the "One Price Clothing House" desig- 
 nated by the letters "O. P. C. H." doing a very extensive re- 
 tail business in men's and youth's clothing. For many years 
 Mr. Maue was in business as a custom tailor at the south- 
 west corner of the same streets, where he obtained the rep- 
 utation of being one of the best cutters in the city, but his 
 business becoming too extensive for his premises, he removed 
 to his present location. The firm have an immense stock of 
 goods, manufactured in the very best styles, and here one can 
 purchase goods from the lowest to the highest price. In con- 
 nection with this branch of the business, they also carry a 
 very large assortment of gent's furnishing goods of all de- 
 scriptions. We do not think there is any retail house in the 
 city that has such a varied and excellent stock of clothing, 
 suited to the wants of all customers.

 The Enterprise Insurance Company. — The business 
 of Fire Insurance has so rapidly increased of late years, and 
 so many companies have been established, that individuals 
 have been sorely puzzled to know in what companies to take 
 their policies, relying on the statements of their agents as to 
 their stability. But their capital being limited, or taking 
 risks that are extra hazardous, or not spreading their risks 
 over a sufficientlv broad area, they have bee* 1 , forced to wind 
 up their affairs, when large conflagrations have occurred, leav- 
 ing the insured in many cases as helpless as if they had 
 effected no insurance. But the Enterprise Insurance Com- 
 pany of this city, which owns its own splendid building on 
 West Third Street, is built upon a different foundation, and 
 transacts its business on safe and legitimate principles. It 
 has an ample paid up capital, and its directors are all of them 
 our prominent capitalists and leading business men. 
 
 In the settlement of losses they are prompt and libera, 
 which is the only way to increase the reputation of a fire in- 
 surance company. Being a "Home" Company, it is deserv- 
 ing of home patronage, which it enjoys to a very large ex- 
 tent. We never heard of any dissatisfaction occuring in the 
 settlement of losses with them, and any one who effects a 
 policy in this company can rest assured, in the event of a fire 
 that the loss be speedily settled. 
 
 Lindsay, Rauh & Co., of the Masonic Temple, at No. 32 
 west Third Street, are doing an extensive business as general 
 insurance agents. They represent only snch companies, who 
 have passed through the severe ordeal of the losses incurred 
 by the great Chicago and Boston fires, and who came out 
 triumphantly, paying dollar for dollar on all adjustments. In 
 this city, all adjustments are made by Mr. Lindsey, who has 
 had an extended experience in this branch of the business.

 Brown, Knecht & Kempf, 195 Wade Street, on the south 
 side, to the west of Central Avenue, have ah extensive iron 
 foundry, and are doing a large business in all kinds of cast- 
 ings. The partners are all practical men, and are very in- 
 genious, and of an inventive turn of mind. They [have recent- 
 ly invented a new jelly press, which only requires to be seen 
 to be appreciated. It is having a very extensive sale, and 
 will, without doubt, entirely supersede all other descriptions 
 of presses that have been hitherto used for the same purpose. 
 
CINCINNATI, 
 
 Millinery. — Wn l t am H. Thay- 
 er & Co., of 147 and 149 West 
 Fourth Street, is a well known house 
 in this city, doing an extensive busi- 
 ness as importers and jobbers of eve- 
 jj| rv description of Millinery, embra- 
 cing a complete and elegant stock of 
 Fall and Winter goods. They have 
 long held the highest position in the 
 trade, for the excellent assortment 
 which they keep of Ladies' Corsets 
 Kid Gloves, Scarfs, Ties, Veilings^ 
 Collars and Cuffs, and in fact every 
 article that is to be found in the most 
 extensive wholesale Millinery estab- 
 lishments. They have also a very large Trimming depart- 
 ment. The reputation of the house is first class, and for 
 thirty-five years it has maintained an unsullied name; its 
 business having been continually on the increase. The prem- 
 ises are conveniently situated, and the various floors on which 
 the business is transacted are exceedingly light, and have an 
 elegant appearance. 
 
 Sewing Machines. — Among the many extensive compa- 
 nies that are manufacturing Sewing Machines, Grover & 
 Baker hold a very prominent position. They claim that the 
 machines they make are capable of doing more effective work 
 than any other manufactured. The demand for them is con- 
 tinually on the increase, which is an unquestionable evidence 
 that they have, notwithstanding the competition that exists 
 between the vast rival companies, merits that can not be de- 
 cried. In this city, their branch establishment, is located at 
 No. s;S West Fifth Street, where the machines can be exam-

 lined and tested, their merits investigated, and all information 
 will be given regarding them to intending purchasers, or 
 others who may be desirous of ascertaining for themselves 
 whether a Grover & Baker Sewing Machine is better suited 
 to their requirements than others whose merits are heralded to 
 the public. 
 
 Glazed Ware Pipe. — The firm of Clark & Bros. i> 
 composed of three brothers, A. D. Clark, R. Clark, and E. 
 Clark, and their establishment is located at 240 Elm Street. 
 They have established a high reputation for their specialtv 
 which consists of Glazed Ware Pipe, which is considered su- 
 perior to the cement drain pipe, that has hitherto been used 
 extensively, but in some respects has been found defective. 
 This Glazed Ware Pipe will probably hereafter be used in 
 the place of the cement pipe. Clark & Bros, are doing a 
 large business, and have an excellent reputation for the quali- 
 tv of goods thev manufacture.
