Almost daily persons are robbed by the various "confidence games," by lending money on checks, or bonds, or notes on prominent citizens — ostensibly because "it's after bank-hours," but really because the holders want to swindle by converting some- thing worthless into greenbacks. Beware of everything of the kind. Keep away from Gambling Dens, unless you have money to throw away. Beware of new acquaintances who mani- fest so much interest as to "treat" often, and are anxious to show you places and objects of interest. Look out for such accom- plished sharpers. Hundreds are daily deceived and over- charged by unscrupulous Hackmen. We have published the law in reference to Hacks and Carriages among the following pages of this work. The "Rules and Regula- tions" should be found in every Hack, accord- ing to law, therefore make no bargain in advance. If over-charged, any policeman is bound to set the matter right. Pickpockets are found among crowds around the doors of places of amusement and railroad-cars.- Be on your guard for these expert thieves, who appear like gentlemen. 12 FiVi 3^G^^ CONTENTS.

It is imposin^y situated on the Patapsco Biver. twelve miles firom its entrance into the Chesapeake Bay. and about two hundred miles, by these waters, from the sea. It is admirably situate"! both for foreign and domestic eommerc*e, being in a central position on the Atlantic coast, on a magnifi- cent sheet of water, deep throughout its entire extent, and navigable for vessels of the largest size. Built, as it is, upon hill- slopes and terraces, its appearance is perhaps more picturesque and pleasant than that of any other city in the "Cnion. 23 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. The limits of the city comprise about twelve square miles, bounded on the north, east, and west, by broad straight avenues, and on the south by the Patapsco River, whose branches make deep indentations into the land. The harbor is about three miles in length. The inn-^T bay or basin extends up to the busi- ness portion of the city, and admits vessels of light draught, while the lower harbor has a depth sufficient for the largest ships. A stream of water called Jones' Falls passes i;hrough the cit}^ from north to south, empty- ing into the harbor or north-west branch, at the city dock, and dividing the city into two l^ortions. The streets are generally at right angles, running from east to west and from north to south. Baltimore street is the great central thor- oughfare, running east and west, and is the fashionable promenade, and the seat of much of the retail and jobbing trade. It is num- bered in both directions from the Falls, as are the other streets running parallel with it. The prefixes east and west are given to those streets on either side of the Falls, and thus the direction of the numbering is indi- cated. The central street running north and south is Charles street. Streets running in this direction are named and numbered each 24 Deal direct with the Manufacturers.

He built a house upon the land he had purchased around the head of the basin in 1682. In 1729 an act of assembly was passed for " erect- ing a town on the north side of the Patapsco, in Baltimore County." In January 1730 the town was surveyed off into lots, and the name Baltimore given it in honor of Lord Baltimore. In 1780 it became a port of entry, with the accompaniments of custom house, naval officers, etc. In 1782 the first pavements were laid on Baltimore street, the chief avenue of the city at that period, as at the present time. In the same year the first regular communication with Philadelphia was established through a line of stage-coaches, which continued up to the year, 1838, when the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Kailroad was completed. The corporate char- acter of the city began in 1797, when the popu- lation was about 17,000. Since that time its history has been that of a constant growth in population and wealth. ■ During the Eevolution, Baltimore took an 27 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. active and important part in the great strug- gle, furnishing soldiers, money, &c., and using her influence in every practicable way in behalf of national independence; but no im- portant military operations took place here. During the late war she furnished men and money for both North and South, and within her borders were enacted scenes which are familiar to all. April 19, 1861, the 6th Eegi- ment Massachusetts Yolunteers, on their way to Washington, were attacked in Pratt street, by a mob, and a number killed and wounded. Federal Hill was occupied May 13, same year, by 1,500 United States troops under General Butler, and the Exchange and several other public places were occupied June 27, by Gen- eral Banks with a similar force. June 29, 1863, the streets of the city were barricaded, and there was great excitement, in anticipa- tion of a Southern cavalry raid; also in July, 1864, there was great alarm in consequence of the approach near the city of a Confeder- ate force. Although the city, occupying a middle ground between the North and South, was so unfortunate as to be made the theatre for the shedding of the first blood in defence of the Union, it was saved from the fate which befell many other cities, and has come forth 28 YOUNG MEN THOROUGHLY PREPARED ^mwAh luiiiiii "lOTIf^i BRYANT, STRATTON & SADLER No. 8 N.

The two great staple articles of trade for Baltimore are flour and tobacco, and it is the greatest market for these articles in the United States, if not in the world. About one million barrels of wheat flour and upwards of sixty thousand hogsheads of tobacco are annually inspected here. A large amount of bituminous coal is brought here from the Cumberland mines in the western part of the State, amounting in some years to a million tons. Baltimore has become one of the leading copper markets of the country, one company alone producing annually upwards of 6,000,- 000 pounds of refined copper. The oyster-packing business has also at- tained large proportions. There are twenty- seven establishments devoted exclusively to the packing business. The oysters of the Chesapeake Bay are highly esteemed all over the country, and it is hardly possible to supply the demand for them. Ship-building is one of the heaviest branches of business carried on. The principal ship- yards are located at Fell's Point, or in that neighborhood, where the water has the neces- sary depth, and from them have been launched GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. some of the finest and fleetest American ships* The name "Baltimore Clipper" is synony- mous, throughout the world, with all that is beautiful in naval architecture, and perfect in the requirements of a staunch and well-ap- pointed vessel. The quantity of lumber received here is almost incredible in amount. About 1,000,- 000,000 feet come annually from the Eastern States alone. The manufacture of agricultural imple- ments is very large and promises to become one of the leading pursuits of the city. Cloth- ing is manufactured extensively, and the value of its annual product is only excelled by that of the flouring mills. Sugar-refining is a business of recent but rapid growth, about a thousand barrels of refined sugar are manufactured daily. Cotton and woollen goods, earthenware, hats and caps, glassware and furniture are manufactured to a con. siderable extent. The shipping owned here is nearly 200,000 tons, and the foreign commerce amounts to upwards of $20,000,000 annually. The humane and benevolent institutions in the city, of which there are many, may be found properly noted in the succeeding pages of this work.

Baltimore has received the name "Monu- mental City" from its several very graceful and handsome monuments which adorn vari- ous parts of the place. There are about 50,000 houses within the city limits. The value of real and personal property amounts to about $225,000,000. It is always interesting to a stranger to notice the names of the streets of a city which he visits for the first time. We will therefore give a few of the quaint ones. The city boasts of a Shakspeare, a Pulaski, a Burke, a Clay, a Grant, a Lee, a Douglass, a Fremont, a Scott, and a Johnson street. Local history is commemorated in Jones, Moale, McKim, McDonogh, Gwynn, Howard, Philpot, Carroll, Fell, and Calvert; general history, in Cromwell, Jefferson, Decatur, St. Paul, Penn, Davis, Montgomery, Madison and Ostend. There is also a Smallwood street, a Cheapside and a Choptank street, an Orange and a Lemon, a Short and a Sharp, a Kock and a Gunpowder, a French and a German, a Hill and a Yalley, an Eagle and a Hawk, a Water and a Bath, a Spring and a Fall, a Sarah Ann and an Alice Anna, a Smith and a Jones, a Concord and a Har- mony, a Church and a Chapel. There is S3 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. also a Neighbor street, a Wagon Alley, and a Lovely Lane. The natural advantages of Baltimore, to- gether with the energy and perseverance of her citizens, have been the cause of the city's growth and prosperity. The following table will show at a glance its growth since the town was laid out in 1730.

Mr. George Peabody was born in Massachusetts, but resided for many years in Baltimore, where he laid the foundation of that immense wealth which he is now so wisely devoting, during his own lifetime, to the improvement of the condition, physical and mental, of his fellow-men, and in such a way that it will be most wisely felt to the remotest periods of time. In 1857 he announced his intention to contribute several hundred thousand dol- lars to the founding of an Institute in Balti- more, for the encouragement of art, science, and general knowledge. The design com- prises a Free Library of books of the best authors, to be more extensive than any other library south of New York ; Lectures, Con- certs, and a school of Design, at the lowest cost of production ; Galleries of Painting and Sculpture, and such other features as are requisite for a complete institution of the kind. The main building, located on the corner of Monument and Charles street, opposite the Washington Monument, is built of brick and marble, and is 145 feet in length and 71 feet in width. It contains the handsomest and most convenient hall for lectures and 3& GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. concerts in the city, furnished with modern seats, and having a capacity for nearly 2,000 persons. The library room, immediately over the hall, is about 100 feet long and 30 feet wide, with sufficient room for 75,000 volumes. There are at present about 30,000 books upon its shelves. This building cost $170,000 and the grounds $106,000. It was com- menced in 1858, and completed in 1861. Mr. Peabody was present at the opening of the library room in 1866. The design of the founder contemplates the erection of another building on the east, of equal size. One million dollars has been donated by Mr. Peabody for the purpose of erecting these buildings, purchasing books, and main- taining the institution in all its departments. The building is open to all daily (except Sunday), from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., during the Summer, and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., during the winter. THE MARYLAND INSTITUTE, For the promotion of the Mechanic arts, occupies one of the largest buildings in the city, situated on Baltimore street near Jones' Falls. The building is of brick and has a 39 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. front of 60 feet, with a depth of 355 feet The ground floor is occupied as a market, and extends the whole length of the building. The main hall on the second floor is 260 feet long. The annual Mechanics' Fair is held in this hall in the month of October, and is the occasion of a great gathering of visitors in Baltimore. The hall is one of the finest in the country, and will accommodate about 5,000 persons. The entire building cost $100,000, and was erected in 1854. Attached to the Institute is a school of Design, also a fine library con- taining some 17,000 volumes which is accessi- ble to all members from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m. Lectures on various subjects are given during the winter months. There are about 3,000 members male and female connected with the Institute. WASHINGTON MONUMENT.

The shaft is 20 feet in diame- ter at the base, and 14 feet at the top, and may be ascended by means of a circular stair- case, containing 228 steps. There are inscrip- tions upon the four sides of the base, indicat- ing the most important events in the life of "Washington. The corner-stone was laid July 4, 1816, and the statue placed in posi- tion October 19, 1830. From the top a most magnificent view of the city and surroundings may be had. Visitors can ascend the monument any time during week-days from 7 a. m. to 7 p. m. by paying fifteen cents. The Charles street cars, starting from North and Baltimore streets, run within a short distance of the monument. The Battle Monument, Erected by the City Government, in 1815, to the memory of those who fell while defend- ing the city from the attack of the British^ 42 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. September 12, 1814. It consists of a square base or socle, on which rests a pedestal, orna mented in each corner with a beautiful carved griffin, and from the centre rises a facial column ; on the bands encircling which are inscribed, in sculptured letters, the names of those whose patriotic achievements it serves to commemorate. This column is surmounted by a superb statue, representing the Genius of Baltimore, holding a laurel or triumphal crown in her right hand, and an antique helm in her left, emblematic of commerce, having an eagle, bomb-shell, &c., at her side. The monument is of white marble, 45 feet high, and the statue 7^ feet, forming, together with the appropriate facial railing surround- ing it, one of the finest specimens of art any- where to be met with. It is built on an emi- nence of 35 feet above tide-water in the oblong square, at the head of North Calvert street, extending from Fayette to Lexington streets. It is in the immediate vicinity of Barnum's, Gilmor's, and Guy's Hotels. Odd Fellows' or Wildey Monument. This rather novel structure is situated on Broadway, above Baltimore street, on an elevated spot where it can be seen from a 43 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. great distance. It was erected in honor of Thomas Wildey, who founded the Independ- ent Order of Odd Fellows' in America, April 26, 1819, and is intended, by its symbolical carvings and inscriptions, to commemorate the character and history of the Order in this country. The design comprises a granite base ten feet square, whose diagonals or corners range with the cardinal points of the compass. Upon this base is another white marble base, on which is a pedestal supporting a Grecian Doric Column, surmounted by a life-size figure of Charity. The entablature, pedestal and base of the column are adorned with emblematical carv- ings and inscriptions. The entire height of the monument is 52 feet, and its cost was about $18,000, The site was given by the city of Baltimore, and the Monument dedica- ted April 26, 1865. Visitors may reach it by taking the Madison avenue cars running east and stopping at Broadway and Baltimore streets. The McDonogh Monument Stands in Greenmount Cemetery in the northern part of the city. 44 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. John McDonogh was born in Baltimore December 29, 1779, but spent the greater part of his life in New Orleans. He was very successful in all his pursuits in life, and, at his death in 1850, left an immense fortune, amounting to several millions, to the cities of New Orleans and Baltimore, to be devoted to the education of poor children, and for other benevolent purposes. The statue, which is much larger than life, is located upon an elevated portion of the Cemetery. The Monument consists of a massive granite base, supporting a marble pedestal, fourteen feet high, upon which the statue rests, which is said to be a very cor- rect representation of the man. Upon two sides of the pedestal are carved rules for the guidance of his life, written by himself, when he was twenty-five years of age, which we trust every visitor will carefully read, and profit thereby. THE WATER WORKS. Baltimore is principally supplied with water from Jones' Falls. The Old Water Company was established in 1804, and water conveyed through the city in 1807. In 1854 this com- 45 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. pany sold its entire rights and properties to the city for $1,350,000. New Works were commenced in 1858, greatly increasing the capacity and extent of the old ones. Swan Lake, Which derives its name from Governor Thomas Swan, former Mayor of the City, is an artificial reservoir formed at the head of Jones' Falls, near the Eelay House, on the west side of the Northern Central Eailway, about eight miles from the City. It covers 116 acres, is 225 feet above tide-water, and contains about 500,000,000 gallons. The dam by which this lake is created is immensely strong and durable. It is built of stone, 120 feet in length, 60 feet in thickness at the bottom, and 40 feet high, costing $150,000. We would suggest to the stranger a visit to this lake, which will prove very pleasant, the drive being up the picturesque valley of Jones' Falls. From the lake a brick conduit or aque- duct conveys the water to Hamden Reservoir, A smaller basin, situated at the Falls road, 46 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. near Hamden, opposite the Druid Hill Park. It contains eight acres, is 217 feet higher than tide-water, holds some 50,000,000 gal- lons, and cost about $200,000. From this reservoir pipes extend across the Falls and along the Kailway to Mount Royal Reservoir, Located on North Avenue, overlooking the city and bay. The scenery in this vicin- ity is very beautiful. The reservoir is cir- cular in form, its diameter 550 feet, with an area of five acres, and a capacity for 30,000,- 000 gallons. From this reservoir the distri- bution pipes extend throughout the city. These Water Works cost, including the 160 miles of pipes, about $3,500,000, . Lake Ghapman. In order to render the supply of water to the city still more abundant and secure, and at the same time to increase the beauties and attractions of Druid Hill Park, the city au- thorities purchased the tract south of the Park, and by building a dam 750 feet long 47 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. this lake has been formed, containing 55 acres. The dam is 119 feet deep in the centre, 520 feet wide at the broadest part of the base, and 40 feet wide on the top. It is estimated that the reservoir will contain 600,000,000 gallons, or enough to supply the city at the rate of 100,000,000 gallons daily. FEDERAL HILL. We would recommend to the stranger a visit to Federal Hill, situate on the South side of the basin, in order to obtain an exten- sive view of the city and surrounding coun- try. There is a telegraph tower on the Hill, from which the view may be had. This place was occupied by General Butler with a force of United States Volunteers, May 13, 1861. A fort consisting of earth works was erected by the 5th Eegiment New York Yolunteera, under Colonel War- ren, a portion of which still remains as an object of interest to those familiar with the occupation of our city by the Union Army. This interesting spot may be reached by going up Light street from Baltimore. 48 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. Fort Mc Henry. This Fort which gained additional noto- riety during the recent war, as the receptacle for State prisoners, situated on the extreme end of Whetstone Point, about three miles from the Exchange, and the associations connected with the war of 1814, when it suc- cessfully resisted a bombardment by the British for twenty-four hours, renders it an interesting place to visit. It was during its bombardment, that the well known national song of "the Star-Span- gled Banner," was composed by Francis S. Key, then a prisoner on one of the British Ships. The Fort, which was named after an early citizen of Baltimore, belongs to the General Government, which keeps there several com- panies of soldiers. It is strongly built on a judicious and regular plan, and the ground attached thereto laid out in a tasteful manner. By reference to the map the location of the Fort may be seen, which can only be reached by private conveyance or on foot, as no street cars run near it. DRUID HILL PARK Is situated about one-third of a mile north of the city limits, between the Northern 49 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. Central Kailway on the East and the Ecis- terstown road on the West, and the Wood- bury road on the North. It contains 500 acres, and was purchased in 1860 by the city of Baltimore, at a cost of $500,000. It occupies the highest point of land in the immediate vicinity of the city, and from its principal eminences commands magnificent views of the city, harbor, and bay beyond for many miles up and down. It was before its purchase, in the posses- sion of the Koger's family for a century and a half, during which the skilful arrange- ments of some early proprietor have been carefully maintained, so that wherever de- tached masses, groups and clumps of trees are scattered over the grounds, they occur in just the position where they produce the best possible artistic effect. The trees are of primitive growth, and the greatest pos- sible variety of those indigenous to the climate. All about the beautiful lawn in front of the mansion, and stretching away across a wide expanse of meadow land, magnificent groups of trees are interspersed, and with such skill that in wandering among them the eye is led at every turn through a succession of long green vistas, until the view termintates 50 THE MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, OF NEW YOBK.

The groups themselves seem to have been left with an artistic reference to the best effects of form and color, which are known to the most skilful modern landscape gardeners- Many of the trees are of immense size. Some of the hickories measure nine feet in circumference at the height of five feet from the ground, and a grand old oak, at another place, measures fifteen feet in circumference, and overshadows an immense area with its extended limbs. In one of the fine valleys leading to Jones' Palls, there are hickories ninety feet in height, and ranging from eight to eleven feet in" circumference, and white-oaks of a corresponding size. These are, however, hardly to be considered as exceptional cases, as the whole domain abounds in trees of great magnitude. The mansion, nearly in the centre of the Park, is 326 feet above tide-water. A hill in the rear rises forty feet higher. Toward the South and East the ravines descending toward Jones' Falls form secluded valleys, generally densely wooded; while on the west the surface is a comj^aratively level plateau as far as the Reisterstown road, and descends toward the Woodbury mill road on the North. 53 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. The arable land on the west and south-west was once an immense pear-orchard, number- ing, it is said, forty thousand trees. The springs in the Park are numerous and handsomely adorned. The mansion? with an extensive verandah on each side capable of holding four thousand people, is substantial and appropriate, and the walks and drives are ornamented in many places with rustic summer-houses, statues, vases, etc. Deer roam among the trees, and swan and other aquatic fowl swim in the lakes. These lakes afford a fine skating place in winter. The Park may be reached by the Madison Avenue line of cars, running up Baltimore street to Eutaw, &c. FRANKLIN SQUARE Is situated on high ground in the western part of the city, and contains about four acres. It is bounded, by Calhoun, Fayette Lexington and Carey streets. It is a very pleasant and cool retreat, being ornamented with trees, shrubbery, &c. The Aged Women's and Aged Men's Homes, and several prominent churches are in the immediate vicinity. The 54 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. Franklin Square cars, going up Baltimore street, run within a short distance of it. Union Square. A quarter of a mile southwest from Frank- lin Square, is pleasantly situated Union Square, occupying the space bounded by Strieker, Lombard, Hollins and Wilmor streets. This is laid out similar to Franklin Square. It has the advantage of having a fine spring of running water within its enclos- ure. Can be reached same as Franklin Square. Lafayette Square Is on an eminence west of Fremont street and between Lanvale, Townsend, Kepublican and Oregan streets. Jackson Square. This Square, when properly improved, will be a most attractive spot, being situated upon a point which overlooks the entire city. It is bounded by Broadway, Fayette, Hamp- stead, and Durham streets. The Odd Fel- lows Monument is one of the attractions of the place. 55 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. Patterson Square Is a large and handsome Square, between Baltimore, Gough, Gist and Luzerne streets, at the end of East Lombard street. It com- mands an extensive view of the city and bay and contains the remains of fortifications erected in 1814. MARYLAND PENITENTIARY. This is an extensive building of brick and stone, occupying the eastern part of the Square between Madison, Forest and Trux- ton streets. The prisoners are employed in the various mechanic arts. Labor is favor- able to order, discipline, instruction, reforma- tion, health and self-support. A visit to the work rooms, comprising shoemaking, cabinet- making, stone-cutting, hat-making, and other departments, generally pleases the visitors, and calls forth encomiums for the stillness, order, and cleanliness observed. Visitors can obtain tickets of admission at the Mayor's office, Holliday street. The York Avenue cars run within a square of it. 66 LEWIS B. TEBBETTS & CO.

The County Jail Is separated from the Penitentiary by a wall twenty feet in height. It is a castel- lated structure of granite and marble. The central building is 404 feet long fronting on Barclay street. The whole buildings are ventilated in the most thorough manner, and are warmed, and lighted with gas. The buildings being of stone, the cell floors of stone or iron, the galleries and staircases of iron, and the doors and gratings of the same material, render the prison fire-proof in every part. There are about 300 cells, each eight by eleven feet. The Chapel will seat com- fortably over 400 persons. Permits to visit the Jail to be obtained from the city authori- ties, at the City Hall. The House of Refuge. Opened in 1855, is located near the Ellicott Mills Railway, a little bej^ond the Western boundary of the city. The Eefuge is for vagrant and vicious children of both sexes; to reclaim from moral exposure those who are treading the paths of danger; and to give to those whose only training would 60 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. otherwise be -in the walks of vice and crime, the blessings of education and industry. About five hundred children can be accom- modated. The building is large and suitably fitted up for the jourpose in every respect. Visitors are admitted with permits, which may be obtained at the City Hall. To reach the Eefuge take the Franklin Square cars to Mount street, and connect with EUicott Mills Line. Manual Labor School. The objects of this institution are to res- cue from the ills and temptations of poverty and neglect, those who have been left with- out a parent's care, and to give them an edu- cation, and rear them to habits of industry. The school is situated about six miles from the city on the turnpike leading to Washington. Belonging to the institution are about 140 acres of land, which is kept under cultivation by the boys. The occupa- tions and employments of the boys vary with the season. In spring, summer, and autumn, the larger boys work upon the farm. In the winter season most of them attend school, where they are instructed in the learning usually taught in our common 61 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. schools, and some of them are employed in making clothes and shoes for the institution. Boys are received from five to fifteen years of age, and are cared for until twenty-one j at that age each boy is given an outfit in clothing, and a small amount of money. The boys on the farm, as we observed, are all neatly clad, and appear to be as happy in their present situation as boys generally are under the paternal roof The school was organized in 1840, and has thus far proved a great blessing to those for whom it was originated. Visitors can gain admission on application at the farm. St. Mary's Industrial School For boys is situated on the Maiden Choice road, near the Frederick road, about three miles from the city. The buildings are of granite, four stories high, with a front of 136 feet, and a depth of 66 feet. The grounds surrounding the institution consist of about 100 acres, which were bequeathed by a benev- olent lady. The object of the institution is that of a protectory for boys rather than a reformatory — a school where they may be taught industry in connection with a sound 62 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. English education. Everything in and about the establishment -indicates cleanliness, order and good management. The stranger in Baltimore will be amply paid by a visit to this most excellent school. Industrial School for Girls. The object of the above institution is for the care, reformation and instruction of such girls as are not admitted into either the House of Kefuge, the Home for the Friendless, or the Children's Aid Society, but who need the care of some reformatory institution. It is under the supervision of twenty-five direc- tors, who are chosen by the City Council and the annual subscribers to its funds. It is an institution accomplishing much good for those whom it is designed to reach. It pro- vides a home for the wayward and fallen — a home, where may be found affectionate words, earnest entreaty, and wholesome advice. The school is situated several miles from the city on the Baltimore and Ohio Eailroad. Home for the Friendless. This noble charity is located on the cor- ner of Druid Hill Avenue and Townsend GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. street. The average number ofinmates is about seventy-five. Poor women, as well as chil- dren, are given a temporary home until they can find employment. In onr visit to the Home, we were much gratified with the general appearance of the entire place. It is a model in point of judicious manasjement and practical benevolence. The institution is sustained entirely by voluntary contributions, and we would com- mend it to the consideration of the benevo- lent. Visitors kindly welcome at any time. Children's Aid Society. This organization occupies a plain brick building at No. 72 North Calvert street, near Pleasant. It was founded in 1860, and its object is to improve the condition of poor and destitute children of this city and State and especially by procuring them homes in the country. Boys between the ages of eight and fifteen, and girls between the ages of eight and thirteen, are received and cared for until suitable places are found for them. The agent of the society makes frequent visits to the country, for the purpose of tak- ing children, who have arrived at a proper 64 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. age, to suit-able homes where they are trained to useful emj^loyments, and to become honor- able and v,^orthy members of society. Since 1860 about eight hundred children have been, through its instrumentalitj^, placed in com- fortable homes. We would urge its claims upon the benevolent, and suggest to the stranger to pay a visit to the rooms of the society, where they will find a cordial welcome. Union Orphan Asylum. On the corner of Franklin and Schrceder streets, is situated a fine brick and wood struc- ture, surrounded by magnificent grounds, which are beautifully ornamented with trees and shrubbery, whose inmates are the or- phans of those who have fought and fallen in the late terrible conflict between the North and South. About eighty children are under its roof at the present time; all in fine spirits, who seem bound together by mutual ties, and live in the most beautiful simplicity and harmony of feeling. The Asylum was founded in 1865, by a few be- nevolent ladies of Baltimore, who, through City and State aid, together with the benevo- lence of our citizens, were enabled to pur- 65 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. chase this lovely home for the little ones. The building and grounds cost about $57,000. There remains unpaid of that amount about $20,000. We would here present the needs of this most benevolent Institution, and trust it may receive that aid and sympathy of which it is worthy. A visit to the Asylum is extended to the citizens of Baltimore on Thursday afternoon ; strangers in the city are admitted any day except Sunday, from 10 A.M. to 4 P.M. Take the Franklin Square cars, getting out at Baltimore and Schroeder streets. German Orphan Asylum. This humane institution is located at No. 69 North Calvert street. It was organized in 1863, by members of the Trinity congrega- tion, and about two years ago was trans- ferred to a board of trustees, irrespective of any especial Church society, who purchased the three story brick building situated as above stated. The house can accommodate about 100 children. There are at present about fifty little orphans and half orphans under its roof. Children are received between the ages of two and ten years of age, and cared for until fourteen years of age, when GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. they are placed in good homes. The Asylum is designed more especially for German children. Visitors admitted on Thursdays, from 2 to 5 p. M. The Baltimore Orphaoi Asylum Is a large and commodious building on Strieker street, near Lexington. It wag founded in 1801 for the maintainance of poor orphan children under nine years of age. About two hundred children are supported here. The Asylum is sustained by the con- tributions and yearly subscriptions of the benevolent and charitable people of Balti- more, through whose noble liberality it was established and thus far successfully main- tained. The amount of good that has been accomplished by this institution to unfortu- nate, friendless, and homeless children, can- not be estimated. Hundreds of little ones have been rescued from wretchedness, kindly cared for, and when arriving at a proper age provided with homes. Every sentiment of humanity appeals to the public to foster and amply support an institution that is so bene- ficient in its purpose. The Asylum is open to visitors on Thursdays and Fridays, from 67 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 2 to 7 P.M. It may be reached by taking the Franklin Square line of cars on Baltimore street, stopping at Strieker street. Church Home and Infirmary. This is another one of those noble institu- tions with which our city abounds. It is under the care and management of the Sister- hood of the Good Shepherd, of the Episcopal Church. Patients are admitted without refer- ence to their religion ; but the Home, as its name imports, is a christian household, in which the service and other religious privi- leges are those of the Episcopal Church. It is a Home where the tender ministrations of loving hands, the wine and oil of spiritual consolation and refreshments, the healing influences of prayers and sacrament, and quickening and sanctifying truths are enjoyed, as well as every temporal appliance for the comfort and recovery of its inmates. It off'ers a refuge to those who can afford to pay for its comforts, as well as the pauper who has nothing to give in return. The Home is situated on Broadway, two squares North of Baltimore street; accessible by the Madison street line of cars, stopping at East Balti- 68 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. more street and Broadway. Visitors, either to the institution or any of its inmates, will be admitted ever}^ day of the week (except Sunday), from 10 o'clock a. m. to 1 p. m. St. Vincent's Infant Asylum, Is under the care of the Sisters of Charity, and is situated on the corner of Townsend and Division streets. Visiting days, Mon- day and Thursday, from 1 to 5 p. m. St. Peter's Episcopal Orphan Asylum. This humane institution is situated on Madison Avenue north of McMechin street- It is managed by ladies connected with the Episcopal Churches of our city. The benevo- lence of the Christian appears truly in a work like this. Visitors admitted at any time. Aged Women's Home. One of the oldest, if not the very oldest of these institutions for ameliorating the con- dition of the poor, is the " Humane Impartial Society and Aged Women's Home," located on Lexington street, between Calhoun and 69 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. Strieker. The object of the institution is to provide a home for indigent old ladies, free from want, and a christian burial when dead. One hundred and fifty dollars is charged as an entrance fee ; then they are provided for during life without any additional expense. The Home, a three-stOry brick building, well arranged for the comfort of its inmates, is capable of sheltering about sixty persons. It is always full, and usually from fifteen to twenty applicants waiting for vacancies. The institution is under the care of a board of lady managers, who are very attentive to the wants of their aged friends. Strangers will find it a pleasure to visit the Home. Franklin Square line of cars pass within a short distance of it. Aged Men's Home. No Institutions in the city are more ad- mired than this, and the last named one, which have for their object, the care of the poor. The Home is situated on the cornor of Lexington and Calhoun streets, immediately adjoining the Aged Women's Home. The same board of lady managers govern 70 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. both Homes. There are at present about twenty-five aged men enjoying its comforts. Can accommodate about fifty. Visitors are always welcome. The Soldiers' Home, Is located on West Baltimore street, near East street. It was founded in 1865, for disabled and invalid soldiers, through the liberality of our citizens, aided by an appro- priation from the city, and a considerable amount from the Union Belief Association. It gives a home and shelter to all honorably discharged Maryland soldiers or sailors, who are unable by reason of wounds, or other disability, to support themselves. Visitors will find a welcome. The Boys* Home. Originated by the Young Men's Christian Association, is situated on North Calvert street. It is doing a great deal of good by extending a helping hand to the many boys who so much need it, that are now and have been living within its hospitable walls, earn- ing for themselves a livelihood, and slowly 71 WILLIAM COLTON, iVo. 66 Leoclngton Street, (Near Charles Street,) Agent for Bradbury's and the New Yorh Manufacturhifj Co.'s Seven Octave Hose wood Case ipi^nsros.

Visitors admit- ted from 10 A. M. to 5 p. m. INSTITUTION FOR THE INSTRUCTION OF THE BLIND. The charter for this most noble charity was obtained in May, 1854. It was located for a number of years at 258 Saratoga street. In April, 1868, it removed to its present magnificent quarters on North Avenue near Charles street. The building is of rough hewn native marble, with a front of 140 feet, and a depth of 60 feet, three stories with a Mansard roof There is also, on the north side, a wing 40 by 60 feet of equal height with the main building, with spacious porches at each story. There is gas and water on each floor, and each room is heated by steam. The building from its elevated position, presents a grand and imposing appearance, and, in an architectural point of view, is one of the most effective public buildings in or about Baltimore. There are three and a ^ 73 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. half acres of ground surrounding the build- ing, which it is designed to properly orna- ment with trees, shrubbery and flowers. Cost of structure, including grounds, was about $150,000. There are at present forty pupils in the Institution, some of whom are employed in the various Mechanical departments. The amount of good done by this Institution to a deeply afflicted class, and to the community, by providing them the means of self-support, and relieving the public from an inevitable charge, commends it strongly to public favor. The pupils are instructed in the various branches pursued in our most favored aca- demies. Some of them become organists in churches, and teachers of music, and others sustain themselves by their skill in some useful handicraft. Strangers are kindly re- ceived at all times, on application to the Principal, Mr. F. D. Morrison, but the most interesting time of visiting is Thursday after- noon, from 3 to 6, during which time a con- cert is given. A small fee is then charged. Take the Charles street cars. MARYLAND HISTORICAL SOCIETY. About twenty-five years ago some eighteen 74 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. gentlemen assembled in the old " Post Office Building," on the corner of Fayette and North streets, to organize the above named institution, for the purpose of collecting, pre- serving and diffusing information relating to the Civil, Natural and Literary History of the State of Maryland, and American History and Biography generally. The Society removed to its present build- ing, the Athenaeum, on the corner of St. Paul and Saratoga streets, in the spring of 1848, and has continued to increase in mem- bers, interest and usefulness. The library, which numbers some sixteen thousand volumes, is very full and rich in everything pertaining to the history and antiquities of the country. The collection of pamphlets comprises many of the rarest character, and of the earliest dates in Ameri- can history. The collection of Manuscripts, Maps, Medals, Coins, Charts, Statuary, Por- traits and Pictures is very valuable, and it may be safely asserted that, with the excep- tion of the Massachusetts Historical Society, probably no other Historical Institution in the country has such varied and valuable col- lections as this Society. The Society have about four hundred active members. 76 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. Its rooms are open every day, except Sun- day, from 10 A.

Calvert and Saratoga streets. The Society was founded in 1864, and has for its object what its title indicates. There are a large number of colored pupils in daily attendance, who are instructed in the various English branches, by white teachers. We believe that this organization has already accom- plished much good in the moral and intel- lectual elevation of those to whom it minis- ters. Visitors interested in this work will find a ready welcome at any time. Sociefy for Improviiig the Condition af the Poor. The above association was founded in 1849 by a number of benevolent gentlemen of Baltimore. Its main object is to discounte- nance and discourage street begging, pau- perism and idleness. It aids the poor, but does not support them. ' There are many thousands of deserving poor in a large city like Baltimore, whose shrinking modesty prevents them from applying to the public at large or any benevolent association for assistance. It is such as these that are sought out by this Society and relieved as their necessities may require. We believe 80 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. the Society is a faithful almoner of the money that is so freely and trustfully given it. Their rooms are situated on Fayette street, between Holliday and Gay, to which all are welcome. THE MARYLAND UNIVERSFTY, Is a school of Medicine, located at the cor- ner of Lombard and Green streets. The front of the building forms a handsome peri- style of eight columns of Grecian-Doric, in imitation of the Parthenon at Athens. The rotunda, which stands in the rear of this front, is a handsome structure. It has an amphitheatre of sixty feet diameter, capable of accommodating 1000 persons. Its faculty comprises the most eminent medical talent in the city. The library, philosophical and chemical apparatus, as well as the cabinet of anatomy, are not surpassed in the United States. The institution was incorporated in 1812; and being the property of the State, its affairs are managed by a board of trustees, of whom the Governor is president ex-officio. Baltimore Medical Institute Was established in 1839, by Dr. Dunbar, an 81 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. eminent physician of this city. The college building is located at 151 Lombard street near Hanover, and is very well arranged for the purpose for which it is adapted. The Museum is an excellent one, being amply provided with materials for illustrating the various branches in medical science. In addition to the Osseous, Nervous, Vascular, Muscular, Lig- amentous and other preparations for anatom- ical demonstration, it also contains a large number of wet preparations relating to Pathol- ogy, Obstetrics, Surgery, &c., and an extensive collection of models in wood, plaster and wax, together with an ample series of paintings and engravings, representing healthy and morbid parts, fractures, dislocations, tumors, &c., and the Surgical operations necessary for their reUef. Washington Medical College. Another medical institution, under the above title, is situated on the corner of North Calvert and Saratoga streets. It has all the necessary professors and apparatus for in- struction ; the latter, however, less complete than the University. Lectures commence, last Monday of October and continue four months. 82 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. Baltimore Infirmary. A large and commodious building under this name is attached to the University. It is situate a short distance from the college on the south side of Lombard street. The patients are attended by the faculty of the University, and nursed by the Sisters of Charity, so well known for their devoted- ness to their fellow creatures. The wards of the Infirmary constantly contain ample material for illustrating the various forms of disease, and are open at all times, to all Matriculates of the school without charge, thus forming a prominent and important element in the educational resources of the University. The College of Pharmacy, Located on the corner of Baltimore and Harrison streets, has been established for several years, for the following purposes : to direct attention to the qualities of articles brought into the Drug Market; to secure the discussion of subjects relating to the business, and communicate information bene- ficial and interesting to the trade, and also to create a School of Pharmacy in which 83 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. lectures should be delivered, expressly for the instruction of Druggists and Apothecaries. The Union Protestant Infirmary Is situated on the corner of Mosher and Divison streets, surrounded with beautiful grounds. It is a handsome building, fitted up with modern conveniences, and constructed with express reference to the use to which it is applied. It is managed by an association of ladies, and receives patients for medical and surgical treatment, its avowed object being to furnish a Christian Asylum for the reception of the sick and suffering, where they may receive kind nursing and skilful medical treatment at reasonable rates, or gratuitously, as circumstances may require, and at the same time enjoy the reading of the Scripture and the consolations of Prot- estant religious instruction. All the different Protestant denominations are represented in the skilful and energetic board of Lady Managers. It is an institution that is at once an honor to the Church, an ornament to the city, and a benefit to the whole community. Visitors will find a welcome every day, from 10 A. M. to 5 p. M. The Madison avenue 84 GUIDE TO BALTIMOEB. and the Pennsylvania avenue lines of street cars pass within a square of the Hospital.

It has accommodations for about 125 patients. Al- though it is under the care and management of the Hebrew people of the city, yet no creed or nation are excluded from its privi- leges. The extensive grounds surrounding the hospital, together with its high and healthy location, renders it an attractive place to those who are so unfortunate as to require a place within its Avails.

The achievements of the last fifty years have been such that no local or temporary interest can satisfy the mind ; everything is conducted on a grand scale. The extension ef education, the progress of science, the facilities of communication and intercourse between nations, and above all, the freedom of the Press and its consequent wide and rapid circulation of news, has served to pro- duce this extent of thought and purfuse. In the United States the Press is supremely important. The activity and power of the newspaper Press of the United States date their origin from the Eevolutionary war. Previous to that event they were few in number, and barren of that interest, vigor and originality, so important a feature in those of the present day. Great Britian and the United Colonies having determined to settle their dispute by arms, both appealed to the people. Each had their partisans; but there were many independent or indifferent persons, whose 118 Sii^iSilw. U.. -A V OF ^^ ^rX^j;^' ^->^r^j^-~ ^- ' (^«^ ^ COMPANY'S BUILDING, No. 10 South Street.

Purchase your ticket previous to enter- ing the cars, thus saving yourself trouble. and a diJiie. 2. Attend to checking your baggage, in person, before taking your seat in the car. 3. Have regard for the rights of your fellow-travellers, thereby teaching them by example to respect yours. 4. The fact of any article being deposited in. a seat is evidence of the seat having been taken. 5. Always show your ticket (without get- ting in a bad humor) whenever the con- ductor asks for it. Observe this rule, and it will pay. 6. Look out for your valise, carpet-bags, &c., (as professional thieves are always around,) especially when the cars stop at a dining-station. 7. A gentleman or lady should not occupy more than one seat at a time. 8. Ladies without escort in travelling should be very particular with whom they become acquainted. 148 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 9. <' If your lips would save from slips, Five things observe with care : Of whom you speak — to whom you speak, — And how — and when — and where." 10. Whenever you see a fellow over-anxious for your comfort, and pushing himself for- ward, saying, "Are you travelling alone ? " — "Allow me to," &c,, &c.— just say to him, " Thank you, sir. I require no assistance." E}^ observing this rule, ladies will often save themselves and others trouble. 11. Never sit in a seat, in warm weather, with a man weighing 244 pounds. 12. Never give information without being asked : then you will not be contradicted. 13. Never let your valise, bag, coat, or any other article, occupy a seat when there is a rack for them. It looks bad for you to occupy a whole seat when there are passen- gers standing without seats. 14. Never sit on the end of another per- son's seat with your back turned, talking to an opposite party ; it is disagreeable to the one whose seat you are thus obtruding your- self on. 15. All railroad tickets are Good until USED — the conditions "good for this day only" being of no value, according to judi- cial decisions. 149 JAS. R. BROWN. THEODORE PARSONS. JAS. R. BROWN & CO.

For arrival and departure of trains the daily papers must be consulted ; the changes with the seasons being so frequent as to pre- clude the possibility of affixing a permanent table here. Baltimore and Ohio Railway. In extent, commercial importance, and pictorial attraction, this great route is one of the most important and interesting in America. It unites the city of Baltimore with the waters and valley of the Ohio, at Wheeling, 379 miles away, making one of the pleasantest and speediest of the great highways from the Atlantic to the Mississippi States. Its whole course is through a region of the most picturesque variety and beauty, and it is itself a work of the highest artistic achievement in the continual and extraordi- nary display of skill which the singular diffi- culties of the way have called forth. It claims, too, especial consideration, and reflects the greatest honor upon the State of Mary- land and its beautiful metropolis of Balti- more, as the first railway in America built by an incorporated company. The road was commenced at a very early 151 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. period in the history of railways, July 4, 1828. The trial of the first engine was made in August, 1830. On the 1st of June, 1853, the entire route was completed, and on the 10th of January the following year, the road was formally opened. The depot of this road is situated on Camden street between Howard and Eutaw, From Baltimore to AVheeling, Ya., it makes the following connections : At "Washington Junction, with the Washington branch ; at Frederick Junction, with the Frederick Branch ; at Harper's Ferry, with the Win- chester and Potomac Eailway ; at Piedmont, with the Cumberland and Penna. Eailway ; at Grafton, Ohio, with the Parkersburg Branch ; at AYlieeling and Benwood, Va., with the Central Ohio Division, the Cleve- land and Pittsburg Eailway, and the Ohio Eiver steamboats.

For the benefit of strangers and others, we give the rates of fare in the city of Bal- timore, to be taken by or paid to the owner or driver of any licensed hack or carriage. We trust it will serve as a safeguard to strangers against the impositions frequently practised upon them by the drivers of these conveyances. The following rules and regu- lations were established by the Police Com- missioners, in 1865. Each hack-owner is re- quired to have these printed rules placed inside his carriage. 158 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. Strangers will make no agreement in advance. No pay can he demanded if the Rules are not to he found inside the carriage. If they are there, pay no more than these rates call for. To or from any steamboat or railroad station, to any hotel or pri- vate residence, in any part of the city, one passenger, . $0.75 For each additional passenger, 0.25 For each trunk, box or bag, sufficiently large to be strapped on, 0.15 No charge for parcels put in the carriage. From any one point within the city limits to another, one pas- senger, $0.75 For each additional passenger, 0.25 For carriage, with driver, one hour, .... 1,50 For each additional hour, 1,00 Same rates for all fractions of an hour, but no charge for less time than a quarter of an hour. Night Roles. — For hacks taken from the stand to any part of the city, from the 1st of May to 30th of September, inclusive, after 8 o'clock P. M., for single passenger, $0.75 For each additional passenger, 0.50 Same sum for returning. No charge for baggage. From 1st of October to 30th of April, inclusive, same rules. An addi- tional allowance for carriage only when sent from the stand, $0,25 Children over ten years, half price ; under ten, no charge. The police force are strictly enjoined by the Commissioners to enforce these rules. Strangers need not be imposed upon if they will be governed by the foregoing advice. 159 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. STREETS AND NUMBERS. The principal streets running east and west are Baltimore, Lombard, and Pratt, and are numbered each way from Jones' Falls. The leading business streets running north and south, the dividing line being Baltimore Street, are Gay, Holliday, North, South, Cal- vert, Light, St. Paul, Charles, Hanover, Sharp, Howard, and Eutaw. By reference to the map accompanying this work, the lo- cation of any street may readily be found. JONES' FALLS, Named in honor of David Jones, the first settler upon the site of Baltimore, is a small tributary stream of the Patapsco Kiver, and divides the city east and west. Over it are thrown many beautiful iron bridges. In 1837, as well as in the summer of 1868, there occurred a flood on the Falls which inun- dated a great portion of the adjoining pro- perty to the depth of from three to ten feet, and destroyed many millions' worth of pro- perty, and drowned about twenty-five per- sons at each event.

This agent, in their hands, has, probably, been more effectual in alleviating human suffering than any other discovery of the present century. We take pleasure in recommending citizens and strangers who are in need of the services of a thor- oughly practical dentist, in any department of the profession, to the COLTOJSr DBJS^TAL BOOMS, Where the gas is administered by its originators, with perfect safety and success, and where they will find the best dental skill in the country. 162 J ^ a I ^1 SI ^V f-^' ^■n GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. the State to the Chesapeake Bay, which it enters, after passing Baltimore, about 12 miles below the city. It is navigable, as far as the city, for large merchant-vessels. It is a rapid stream, and is much utilized as a waterpower. The Baltimore and Ohio Eailway is built along the whole extent of the western branch of the river. CHESAPEAKE BAY. This is the great highway from Baltimore to the sea. It is the largest bay in the United States, its length being about two hundred miles, with a breadth varying from four to forty miles. Its depth permits the passage of the largest ships nearly to the mouth of the Susquehanna, at the upper ex- tremity. Its shores are profusely indented with arms or estuaries of the oddest shapes, and with the mouths of tributary rivers and creeks. The waters of the Chesapeake are the most famous resort in the United States for every species of aquatic game. Birds of all feathers are drawn hither in marvellous numbers by the abundance of food found on the great flats or shoals along the shores, and upon the river inlets. The voyage down the bay from Baltimore 163 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. to Norfolk, at its lower extremity, is a pleas- ant journey. During the summer, steam- boats make the trip daily. The points of chief interest seen in the passage of the bay, are the embouchure of the Patapsco Eiver and the battle-ground of North Point; the Bodkin, three miles distant; the harbor of Annapolis, 15 miles still below, and, in the distance, the dome of the Capitol, at Wash- ington. At the lower end of the bay are the famous fortifications of Fortress Mon- roe and the flip E-aps, protecting the en- trance to Hampton Eoads and James Eiver. NORTH POINT. At the mouth of the Patapsco was the scene of a memorable battle, September 12th, 1814, between the Americans and British, in which the former were defeated, and the lat- ter lost three commanders. On the follow- ing day, September 13th, Fort McHenry was bombarded for 24 hours by sixteen ships and a land force of 1200 men. The assailants were repulsed, and the fortress left in posses- sion of its defenders. This engagement at North Point and Fort McHenry is duly celebrated in Baltimore on 164 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. each recurring anniversary, and the Battle Monument was erected in commemoration thereof. THE LAZARETTO AND QUARANTINE GROUNDS. This establishment is placed under the regulations of the Board of Health, to pre- vent the introduction of contagious diseases. All vessels from beyond the sea are detained at quarantine if the resident health officers tbink necessary. The Lazaretto, erected in 1801, a large quadrangular brick building, with fine grounds attached, is located on the extreme southeastern limit of the city, oppo- site Fort McHenry. DRIVES AROUND BALTIMORE. Probably the pleasantest drive in the vi- cinity of the city is out to Druid Hill Park, of which mention is made elsewhere. Gov- anstown, four miles north of the city, and Towsontown, three miles still further, afford a quiet and agreeable retreat. To Franklin- town, on a branch of Gwyn's Falls, called Dead Run, about five miles from the Citj- Hall, is a rustic drive over a macadamized road. The scenery all along is remarkably 165 GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. fine and picturesque. Catonsville and Elli- cott's Mills, the former six miles and the lat- ter ten, are situated in a southwesterly direc- tion from the city. The Thomas Yiaduct, a magnificent granite structure, on the railway leading to Washington, is nine miles from the city, and is an attractive place. The pretty village of Elkridge Landing is in sight, and upon the surrounding heights are seen a number of country seats belonging to men of business, who reside here during the summer, tempted by the beauty of the spot, and the facilities of access w^hich the railroad aifords.
