 New York, Its Early History. 
 
 Manliattau Island, now known as tlie 
 city of New York, was first discovered, in 
 tlie year 1609, by Henry Hudson, an En- 
 glish navigator, and about fifteen or 
 twenty Dutch and English sailors, who 
 were sent out by the Dutch East India 
 Company to search out a northern pas- 
 sage to the East Indies, and on the 4th of 
 September landed at what is now known 
 as the Battery. 
 
 They set sail for Holland on the 4th of 
 October, filled with delight and enthu- 
 sia-^m by their discovery. Immediately on 
 their return vessels w^ere fitted and sent 
 out with a view to establishing agencies 
 for the fur trade, their head-quarters 
 lieing the lower part of the island. Then 
 followed other vessels with families, 
 and implements for agricultural purposes. 
 And thus the first white settlement was 
 commenced. In 1624 their first gov- 
 ernor, Peter Minuits, to conciliate the In- 
 dians, bought the whole island for twen- 
 ty-four dollars. They enacted laws, 
 made treaties, and were invested with 
 all the prerogatives of a general govern- 
 ment ; eight representatives having been 
 appointed to assist the governor in the 
 affairs of the colony. In 1615 the traders 
 erected a fort where Trinity church-yard 
 now lies. 
 
 At the accession of Charles II. to the 
 English throne Great Britain demanded 
 a surrender, and in 1664 the ensign of 
 the English floated over New York, as it 
 was then named in honor of the Duke of 
 York, to whom, without even a pretense 
 of a title, Charles gave the territory. 
 This sudden change of authority was gen- 
 erally satisfactory. Their first English 
 governor. Col. Richmond Nicol, estab- 
 lished the system of trial by jury. He 
 was succeeded by Col. Francis Lovelace, 
 after four years' administration, and in 
 1673 the city was surrendered to the 
 Dutch, and its name changed again to 
 New Orange, but in 1674 was again- re- 
 stored to the English crown. Tlien fol- 
 lowed aggressions, riots, plots, and dis- 
 turbances, which finally culminated in the 
 Revolutionary War and the independence 
 of the United States. 
 
 The Cabinet Pipe Organ 
 
 IS a combination of Metaj.i.ic Pipes, with 
 two three, or more sets of ordinary reeds, 
 either of which may be used alone, or in 
 combination with any of the others. The 
 reeds alone are capable of producing 
 every variety and effect of any reed or- 
 gan, and by a peculiarity of construction, 
 yet simple combination of Pipes avith 
 Reeds, a wonderful result is produced, 
 which gives it an acknowledged supe- 
 riority over all other portable organs for 
 
 POWER. GRANDEUR, and SWEETNESS of 
 
 tone. It really possesses what is so often 
 claimed, but never found in the Reed 
 Organ, namely, an actual capacity for 
 
 VARIETY IN MUSICAL EFFECTS. By the 
 
 aid of Pipes it is stripped of the thin, 
 reedy tone, and made to approacli tlie 
 rich, smooth, flute-like quality of tone 
 of the large Pipe Organ. In elegance of 
 style and finish they are models of beauty, 
 and are especially adapted to liome use. 
 A long-lelt want of churches and schools 
 is here met in our larger styles, which 
 give the power and variety of the large 
 Pipe Organ that costs three times as 
 much. This instrument, in its combina- 
 tions and patented improvements, is as 
 jnuch superior to the Common Organ as 
 the old style of Reed Organs are to the 
 melodeons of half a century ago. The 
 inventor's thirty years successful expe- 
 rience as an organ builder enables us to 
 commend with confidence these instru- 
 ments as being unequaled in musical 
 qualities and mechanism. We warrant 
 the perfection of the Organ, and guaran- 
 tee they will keep in tune equally with 
 any reed organ, and are not aflected by 
 changes in climate or atmosphere. 
 
 Our present Price list is much lower 
 than other first-class reed organs contain- 
 ing the same number of sets of reeds. 
 
 We invite investigation and challenge 
 competition.

 Description. 
 
 At the time of the first settlement of 
 New York it was a narrow fork of land 
 stretching out into the bay, with a diver- 
 sified surface of rocky woodland, swiunp, 
 and sandy plain. A deep pond covered 
 the site where the Five Points has been 
 known, and wdiere the Tombs now 
 stands, that was fifty feet deep. The 
 sources that supplied it still remain, and 
 are carried off by immense sewers under 
 ground. The tides of the ocean then 
 swept over the spot where now the dead 
 lie asleep in Trinity church-yard. Thus 
 energy, industry, and art have widened 
 and beautified the island, and it has 
 become the nios-t populous, wealthy, and 
 beautiful city in America. The island, or 
 city jiroper, is thirteen and oneh-alf miles 
 long, and averages one mile and three 
 fifths in width, and covers an area of 
 14,000 acres; its highest point being 
 338 feet above tide, (at AYashington 
 Heights.) By legislative enactment and 
 the popular vote of the two counties, the 
 townships of Morrisania, King's Bridge, 
 and West Farms were annexed in No- 
 vember, 1873. The prosperity and prog- 
 ress has lieen so favorable and rapid, 
 that almost the whole island is com- 
 pactly built over. In business import- 
 ance it stands first on this continent. 
 Five thousand vessels arrive here an- 
 nually, and five sevenths of all the 
 strangers entering this country laud 
 at New York; hence its population 
 consists of people from all nations of 
 the globe. Its harbor is one of the 
 finest in the world, and the surround- 
 ing islands are picturesque and beau- 
 tiful. Nearly all of the old liistoric 
 buildings have given place to the rapid 
 stride of progress, and were one of ye 
 ancient "Knickerbockers" to awaken 
 from his long sleep, he would scarcely 
 recognize the locality of the old Dutch 
 settlement of two hundred and fifty-four 
 years ago. It was said when the City 
 Hall was built, seventy-five years ago, 
 that the city would never extend above 
 Chambers-street ; but that locality has 
 long been "too far down town" to be a 
 place of residence for the better classes.

 Communicated. — According to the Nintli Cen- 
 sus there were manufactured in the United States 
 in 1870 the grand total of 587,919 sewing ma- 
 chines by different companies, (12 or 15 in all,)' 
 with a capital of $8,759,431, giving employment 
 to 7,291 hands. This vast industry owes its ex- 
 istence to the original inventive genius of Elias 
 Howe, Jun., (born in Spencer, Mass., in 1819, 
 died in Brooklyn, L. I., in 1867.) His first 
 sewing machine was completed in 1845, and was 
 regarded of no practical value, simply a novelty 
 in mechanism ; and he was told, if successful " it 
 would reduce all tailors to hegr/ary." It was pat- 
 ented in 1846, and in every respect lias been 
 improved with numerous additions. Every suc- 
 cessful machine now in use contains some of its 
 devices. The legal contests, prosecuting in- 
 fringers of liis patent, have been many and long, 
 buttiually victorious, and every sewing machine 
 honestly made pays one dollar to the Howe 
 Sewing Machine Company. Of the three lead- 
 ing companies in 1870, the largest number, 
 75,156, was made by the Howe Sewing Machine 
 Company. Its popularity, based upon real worth 
 and merit, has so increased tliat the total sales 
 in 1873 amounted to 153.244, and the demand is 
 unabated, requiring additional factories. The 
 Howe Machine stands first on the list for its 
 adaptability to all classes of work, from the 
 lightest fabric in tixmily use to the coarse brogau 
 of the shoe manufacturers.

 Its Growth and Population. 
 
 New York is pre-eminently a commer- 
 ciiil city, and is scarcely inferior to tlie 
 most celebrated commercial centers of 
 tlie glolie. The spirit of the adventurous 
 Dutch West India Company whit-h early 
 took possession of the island, ha^; actu- 
 ated every succeeding generation. The 
 population of the city did not reach 
 a thousand until 1656. In 1604 it 
 a:nounted to 1,500, in 1700 to 5,000, in 
 1750 to 13,500, in 1774 to 22,750. Dur- 
 ing the decade from 1790 to 1800 the 
 ])oi)ulation of the city nearly (h:)uble(l, in 
 consequence of the war in Europe, swell- 
 ing it at the latter date to 00,489. Sub- 
 sequent to 1812 the population in- 
 creased to 100,000; then came the war 
 with Great Britain, and for three years 
 tiie growth of the city was checked, and 
 in 1820 it contained but 123,706. Dur- 
 ing the next decade came the completion 
 of the Erie Canal, augmenting the facil- 
 ities of commerce, and in 1880 the popu- 
 lation numbered 202,589. The great fire 
 of 1835 and the financial crisis of 1837 
 arrested its progress temporarily; yet in 
 1840 it numbered 312,932. In 1842 the 
 (Proton water was introduced, and in 
 1845 another disastrous fire occurred ; yet 
 in 1850 the city numbered 515,547, and 
 in 1860, 813,669. During the next dec- 
 ade came the great Southern Rcl)ellion, 
 and at the close of the war, in 1865, tlie 
 population had decreased over 87,000. 
 The census of 1870 reported the popula- 
 tion at 942,252. With the addition of 
 the three towns from Westchester, the 
 resident population must now exceed 
 a million. The transient population is 
 also large. There are probal)ly always 
 temporarily stopjiing in the city : immi- 
 grants, 5,000; seamen and boatmen, 
 5,000; travelers at hotels, 10,000; per- 
 sons at boarding and lodging-houses, 
 10,000; total,30,000. By uniting Brook- 
 lyn and the contiguous suburbs to New 
 York, the American metropolis would 
 equal in population most of the great 
 cities of the world. There is a growing- 
 desire for this union, which it is be- 
 lieved will be consummated at no distant 
 day.

 The New Torh Daily Tribune, comment- 
 ing upon a recent issue of the City Di- 
 rectory, says : " It is quite amusing to note 
 the singularity of some of the names to 
 be found within its pages. For instance, 
 there are a number of Houses, and only 
 one Foundation; a number of the Good- 
 kind, Corns, and Coffins, several Plants, 
 some Lively and some Nott, Long, Short,

 Springs, and 5 Summers ; of household 
 utensils, 5 Pitchers, 16 Bowles, 1 Broker, 
 2 All well, and one Sick ; of horse-fare, 
 
 4 Oats, 3 Straws, and 33 Hays. There 
 are, also, 60 Lords, 21 Dukes, 321 Kings, 
 10 Queens, 20 Princes, 14 Barons, and 
 24 Earls. The ancient name of Smith 
 occurs 1806 times. There are 36 Barbers 
 to 1 Shaver; 5 Shoemakers, 7 Tinkers, 
 and 1 Blower; 56 Pages with only 1 Blot; 
 1 Untied, 2 Loose, and 1 Blind ; 3 Law- 
 yers against 28 Judges, and 2 Juries with 
 no Verdict. Then again there are 40 
 Popes, 11 Priests, and 81 Bishops. 12 Pea- 
 cocks and 2 Heads; 2 Books, 4 Bound; 
 16 Coffees with 18 Beans; 26 Shepherds 
 with 11 Flocks; 1 Ship, 2 Masts, and 64 
 Seamen. Of the different nations, there 
 are 5 Engiands, 18 Irelands, 4 Wales, 2 
 Chinas, 2 Germanys, 2 Frenchman, 8 Ger- 
 mans, 2 Dutch, 1 Irish, 32 English, 99 
 Welsh, and only 2 Americans, and 7 Turks. 
 Of the different fruits, there are 3 Apples, 
 4 Peaches, 7 Plums. Then come 7 Moons, 
 1 Morningstar, and 1 Gentleman. The 
 name of George Washington occurs 9 
 times, and Sly, Smart, and Slick once 
 each. There are 3 Clocks and 39 Hands ; 
 1 Lion, 3 Bears, and 96 Wolfs; followed 
 by 14 Divines, and 9 Deacons. The 
 shortest name in the Directory is Py."

 Riv. THKO. 1.. CU\"I..ER, D. O.. of 
 Bro«:ltIyii, says: I thank you for a copy of this 
 viijqiie and valuable work on Satan in human history. 
 The chapter on the rav.aces and ruin of stroiifj drink is 
 alone worth the price of the book. A vast deal of valu- 
 able information can only be pot from Mr. Read's iuffen- 
 ious comi)ilation of facts from the dark side of human 
 history. It is a su!rg:estive book for ministers and .Sun-

 JAMES M'COSH, D.D., L.1..I> , Piesi- 
 dc'iit of Princeton CoHejj*', says: The new 
 work by the author of "God in History," so extensively 
 read in xVmerica and Great IJritain, does not need any 
 intrnduction or recoinmend.ation by another. All that 
 ynu need put on the titlc-p.age is, "By the author of

 Rev. J. H.VINCEIVT, D.D., Editor Suii-

 terly treatment of the subject will carry conviction. 
 The book is a timely iiroduction, and wiU confirm faith 
 and strengthen hands that now make v.aliant warfare 
 ajf;iinst the enemy of souls. I wish it a wide circulation. 
 
 Rev. NOAH PORTER, D.D., L>L..D.. 
 Pre i"enr of Yale C'olleare, s.iys: The Foot- 
 Prints of Satan is a fearful book, but it is well fitted to 
 arouse a wholesome fe.ir of the agency which does such 
 horrible work in the world. 
 
 Rev. BISHOP "IVM. li. HARRIS, D.D., 
 
 says: The book is well written, and its startlins' arr.ay 
 of facts and figures show but too clearly that we wrestle 
 not afT.ainst flesh and blood, but against the rulers of the 
 darkness of tliis world.

 milliner a most soienm and startling array of truth on a 
 subject of tremendous interest. 
 
 Rev. DAMEL. CURRY, D.D., Editor 
 New York Ciiristiaii Advocate, says: The 
 book is worth reading for its direct usefulness in expos-

 Sight Seeing in New York. 
 
 So varied are the tastes of individuals 
 that a definite tour of observation equal- 
 ly pleasing and profitable to all can- 
 not be suggested. We mention a few, 
 and leave the reader, whose lime may 
 be limited, to make selections accord- 
 ing to his studies or curiosity. To ol)- 
 tain some general idea of its busiest ])or- 
 tion no better method can be desired tliau 
 to take a Broad way stage at Twenty-third- 
 street for South Ferry or Wall-street Ferry. 
 Remember that you are in fact geograph- 
 ically "down town" at Tweuty-third- 
 street and Madison Square. In your trip 
 down town you will pass Union Square 
 with its monuments, and a multitude of 
 immense hotels, theaters, and business 
 palaces, lining either side of the street 
 for miles. You will pass City Hall Park, 
 and your stage will stop at the Wall- 
 street Ferry, or at Castle Garden. If you 
 are at the foot of Wall-street walk back 
 to Broadway, viewing the Custom-house, 
 Sub-treasury, and the banking houses. 
 If at Castle Garden, return up Broadway 
 to Wall-street, into which you should cer- 
 tainly peep. Facing Wall-street, on 
 Broadway, is old Trinitj% up the steeple 
 of which you may ascend 250 feet, and 
 catch a wondrous view of the lower por- 
 tion of the city and of the bay. From this 
 point walk a little farther north and you 
 are at the City Hall Park. Here observe 
 the Astor House, New York Post-olhce, 
 New York Court-house, and the City 
 Hall. Here also are the publishing in- 
 terests of the metropolis. South-east of 
 this jjoint is Fulton Market; and Avest of 
 the Park, but a few blocks, is Wasliing- 
 ton Market, which will well repay a visit, 
 and appears to best advantage early in 
 the day. If from the City Hall you de- 
 sire an up-town trip, take Broadway 
 stage, or horse-car at the Astor House. 
 At the Post-office start the Third and 
 Fourth Avenue horse-cars, which run to 
 the Grand Central Depot at Forty-sec- 
 ond-street. If in quest of curiosities, go 
 to Wood's Museum ; if fine arts, go to the 
 Academy of Design, corner 4th Avenue 
 and 23d-street, or to Cooper Institute, or 
 to Metropolitan Museum of Art.

 l^eriod were $313,129,963, and through

 Banks and Insurance Companies. 
 
 There are 76 National ami State banks 
 doing business in the city, besides a large 
 number of private bankers doing a 
 similar business without incor[)oration. 
 Wall, Broad, portions of Nassau-street, 
 and of Broadway, are lined with magnif- 
 icent lianking houses. The aggregate 
 capital of the incorporated banks 
 amounts to $86, 000, 000. The transactions 
 of the Clearing-house for the past year 
 amounted to $36,929,531,049, or a daily 
 average of ai)out |115.0C0,000. The in- 
 terest and dividends paid through these 
 banking houses in January or July ex- 
 ceeds $50,000,000, besides the large gov- 
 ernment interest which passes through 
 tlie Sub-treasury. Nearly all tlie rail- 
 roads and other large companies pay 
 tlirough the New York banks. 
 
 Savings Bakks. — Tliere are forty-one 
 of these in the city, holding $180,000,000. 
 
 Brokers. — These liave taken, posses- 
 sion of Broad-street, which one has styled 
 the Mecca of America. On this street 
 stands the far-famed Gold Room, where 
 the daily sales are made. Tlie brokers of 
 all grades may be numbered by the thou- 
 sand. They manipulate most of the 
 stocks, bonds, and money of the coun- 
 try. AVall-street seldom contains above 
 $15,000,000 of gold outside the Treas- 
 ury, but the transactions amount to 
 $70,000,000 daily, and occasionally to 
 several hundred millions. The business 
 of the country could not lie conducted 
 without the stock trade, yet it opens a 
 wide field for unscrupulous speculation. 
 Most of the panics and financial troubles 
 of the country are planned or greatly 
 aggravated by stock sjjeculators. 
 
 IN.SURAXCE. — There are thirty life in- 
 surance conii)anies in this city chartered 
 by the State of New York, having assets 
 amounting to $170,100,000. one third of 
 which is held by the New York Mutual. 
 There are also 8J tire insurance companies 
 in New York, with a capital of $36,000,000, 
 besides many foreign companies. There 
 are twelve marine insurance companies, 
 Avith large assets; and 14 loan and trust 
 companies, having an aggregate capital 
 of $150,000,000.

 The Author's Statement, found in 
 the Preface of "Our Home Physician," 
 
 says: 
 
 " Tliis book has been prepared to meet a 
 want that has been long and widely felt — of a 
 single work which should give a comprclien- 
 sive and accurate knowledge of Medical Science 
 of tlie present day in as mucli detail as can be 
 useful to those not medically educated. I 
 have left no stone unturned to make the work 
 fully represent the best and most recent opin- 
 ions and experiences of the leading authorities 
 of our day in the various departments, all of 
 which are brought down to the most recent 
 dates. Diseases, their symptoms and treat- 
 ment, and, in fact, nearly every department 
 of Medical Science, has changed wonderfully 
 during the past twenty years, and Medical 
 works and auihors that were once considered 
 authorities are now worse than nseless, tend- 
 ing only to mislead, with dangerous results. 
 
 "This work not only includes all that bns 
 ever been attempted in similar works, but also 
 several hundred new remedies, new systems 
 of treatment, new diseases, and new subjects 
 in the department of health that have never 
 yet appeared in any work designed for the 
 people. There are yet among the people tliose 
 who have a blind faith in some school or ex- 
 clusive system of treatment ; to all sucli let me 
 say that the wise physician of our time beloigs 
 tone "school," no "ism," no "pathy," but 
 uses for his patients all things which have 
 proved to be beneficial. On this principle this 
 work is based. The best physicians of onr 
 day are not narrow or bigoted, as some sup- 
 pose, but are the most liberal and progressive 
 of men. I have written in the work just what 
 I say every day to my patients in my popular 
 essays, and in my lectures before lyceums and 
 colleges. I have here said just wliat your 
 family physician would tell you if he bad the 
 time and occasion to explain the diift-rent dis- 
 eases, their symptoms and treatments. My 
 aim has also been to make the work so clear 
 that the wayfaring man might not err therein, 
 and yet so thorough and exhaustive that tlie 
 educated physician should find in it much 
 to perfect his knowledge and refresh hia 
 memory."

 Hotels and Restaurants. 
 
 The hotels form an important part of 
 all large towns, and are often one of 
 their chief attractions. Saratoga, with 
 all its mineral waters, would be shorn of 
 half its importance without its mammoth 
 hotels. The hotels of New York are 
 very numerous and adapted to rich and 
 poor. The first-class hotels glitter with 
 every costly appendage, and are not ex- 
 celled in the world. 
 
 The Astor House, at corner of Vesey- 
 street and Broadway, is one of the oldest 
 first-class hotels in the city, and is con- 
 ducted on the European plan. 
 
 Metropolitan Hotel, Broadway, cor- 
 ner Prince-street, is first-class, and among 
 the largest. 
 
 New York Hotel, situated on Broad-

 Kev. E. .J. GooDSPEED, D.D., Chicago, says : 
 " Our old favorite, who wrote so graphically of the 
 Sacred Mountains, has given us anotlier volume of a 
 similar char.acter. His gorg.f'OUsness of imagery revels 
 and is at home among the mighty men and subliine 
 landscapes of the ancient p.ast. A soberer pen would 
 fail to reproduce the men and their surroundings in just 
 proportions .and coloring. We welcome, therefore, .and 
 heurtily commend this noble volume,\vith its fresh il- 
 lu.«trat"ions, clear type, and handsome binding, hoping 
 tliat our dear old Bil)le, ever new, because so human 
 ajid yet Divine, and hence adapted to our profoundest 
 necessities, may become yet more thoroughly under- 
 stood and universally read."

 Advice to Strangers. 
 
 To those who go to the city bent on 
 mischief and ruin we need offer no ad- 
 vice. They will find the largest latitude 
 for their promptings, and come to sor- 
 row sooner than they anticipate. But to 
 a cautious and thoughtful stranger a few 
 liints may he acceptable. First, then, in 
 entering a large town know where you 
 want to go, and if unused to traveling, 
 reach the city in the day-time. Have 
 little to say or to do with good-natured 
 people who are anxious to give you ad- 
 vice and assistance. On reaching the 
 depot or landing take the line of cars 
 or stages running near your stopping- 
 place. If you take a carriage your trunk 
 or valise may accompany you. If not, 
 leave it checked and send for it, or 
 deliver your check to an express agent, 
 with full instructions where to send it, 
 and take his receipt, which makes the 
 company responsible to you for its de- 
 livery. If you make inquiries on the 
 street apply to a policeman, or go into a 
 store or hotel. A lady should never in- 
 quire or be led along by strangers of either 
 sex. Too great care cannot be taken 
 with your purse, watch, etc. Have a 
 little money within easy reach, and se- 
 curely conceal all the rest. A falling 
 brick may cost your life. Though on 
 a tour of observation be not anxious 
 to see every thing. The purlieus of the 
 city should only be visited in company 
 with wise, reliable friends. You can 
 make nothing and learn nothing at mock 
 auctions, dance-houses, and fashionable 
 gambling houses. Pay no attention to 
 men who exhibit a pocket book or bank 
 bills they "have just found." Be care- 
 ful about long trips in the evening, un- 
 attended, even through the best streets, 
 and by day and night avoid, as far as 
 possible, all croiods. Settle the price 
 with your coachman before starting, and 
 pay him at the end of the trip. Every 
 hotel has a safe where valuables may be 
 deposited temporarily free of charge. In 
 transacting business involving the pay- 
 ment of money be sure you deal with 
 one duly authorized. Sharpers often 
 lurk around business houses.

 deavor, not only to maintain its present reputa- 
 tion as one of the 
 
 BEST WEEKLY JOURNALS

 American Bible House and Cooper Union. 
 
 The Bible House covers a block of 
 pronnd three fourths of an acre in size. 
 frontincr on Foui'th and Third Avenues, 
 and on Eighth and Ninth streets. It is a 
 plain six story brick, witfc cellar and 
 vaults, completed in 1853 at an expense 
 of $303,000. The front walls on the four 
 streets measure 710 feet. The principal 
 entrance is on Fourth Avenue. The 
 boilers are placed in the area, in the 
 center of the building, so inclosed as 
 not likely to endanger the operatives 
 in case of accident. About fifty stores 
 and oflSces are rented in the build- 
 ing, many of them to' benevolent so- 
 cieties, bringing the society an income 
 of $40,000, and making the Bible House 
 the chief head-quarters for benevolent 
 and reformatory movements for the whole 
 country. The American Bible Society 
 was organized in 1816, and its receipts 
 jiave amounted to over six millions. 
 It has printed the Scriptures in thirty 
 dialects, and assisted in publishing many 
 of the one hundred and eighty-five ver- 
 sions issued by the British and Foreign 
 Bible Society. It has three times can- 
 vassed the entire United States, giving 
 hundreds of thousands of Bibles to desti- 
 tute families. About 500 operatives are 
 constantly employed, and every part of 
 Bilile manufacture is carried on in this 
 one building. Thousands visit it an- 
 nually. 
 
 CoopEK Union. — This magnificent edi- 
 fice, erected and donated to humanity by 
 Hon. Peter Cooper, stands opposite the 
 Bible House, on Eighth -street, and also 
 covers a small block at the intersection 
 of Fourth and Third Avenues and the 
 Bowery. The basement contains the 
 finest lecture room in the city, where the 
 chief orators of America and of Europe 
 have been heard. The first floor is de- 
 voted to stores. The additional stories 
 contain lecture-rooms, a fine reading 
 room, evening schools for young ladies, 
 mechanics, and apprentices, galleries of 
 art, and collections of rare inventions. 
 The institution is a gift of inestimable 
 value to the city from one of her most 
 worthy and honored citizens.

 Charities of New York. 
 
 New York is not only the center of 
 American commerce and wealth, but pre- 
 eminently so of its charities. The mu- 
 nicipal charities are conducted on a mag- 
 nificent scale, and provide for many thou- 
 sands annually. These are now chiefly 
 administered on the islands of the East 
 River, except the treatment of the sick 
 at Bellevue Hospital, and a general ar- 
 rangement for the temporary relief of the 
 Out-door Pooi\ who are largely cared for by 
 the Commissioners of Charities and Cor- 
 rections ; and under tlieir charge is a Med- 
 ical and Surgical Bureau for the relief 
 of the Out-door Sick, treating 15,000 or 
 20,000 annually. 
 
 The Association for Improving the 
 Condition of the Poor. — Incorporated 
 in 1848, and has relieved more than 
 200,000 families, and disbursed a million 
 and a half of dollars. 
 
 Children's Aid Society. — Organized 
 in 1853, has exerted the widest influence, 
 and perhaps accomplished the most good 
 of any benevolent society in America. It 
 strikes at the root of pauperism, crime, 
 and all social evil by rescuing the va- 
 grant children of the streets, afibrding 
 them temporary supplies, beginning their 
 education, and sending them early, with 
 their consent, to homes in the great West. 
 Its work among the ignorant, neglected, 
 or ill-taught girls of New York has been 
 truly marvelous. It conducts over 20 
 industrial schools where many thousand 
 poor girls have gained the rudiments of 
 an education and self-support. 
 
 Lodging Houses. — Several large houses 
 have been i^urchased and fitted up by the 
 Society to accommodate and reform the 
 little boot blacks, peddlers, and news- 
 boys of the city. The one at 49 Park 
 Place has accommodation for 250 boys. 
 Others are situated at appropriate points 
 to meet the wants of tliese juvenile va- 
 grants. There is also a lodging house 
 for poor girls. These buildings are all 
 supplied with reading-rooms, evening 
 schools, music, comfortable beds, and 
 with meals,

 Parks of New York. 
 
 Abrtut one thousand acres of New York 
 island are devoted to parks, wliich fact 
 may at tirst appear large, j-et it is no 
 more than the health of the pojnilace re- 
 quires. The Buttery, Union, Mudifov, 
 Washington, Stuyvesant, and many others 
 are well known retreats of verdure and 
 beauty to nearly all who visit the city. 
 These were to a former generation the 
 large parks of the city. 
 
 Central Park, the mammoth of all 
 our parks, was laid out in 1857. It 
 }s two and one half miles long, three 
 fifths of a mile wide, and contains 843 
 acres. It has cost over $11,000,000, and 
 is now maintained at an annual expense 
 of $250,000. It has twelve entrances, 
 contains five and a half miles of bridle 
 jxith, nine and a half of carriage roads, 
 and twenty-seven miles of walks. The 
 old Arsenal, at the south-east entrance, is 
 a three story stone structure, filled with 
 the collections of the society of •' Ameri- 
 can Museum of Natural History." Out- 
 side of this structure are large cages with 
 bears, eagles, serpents, and many other 
 varieties of animals. The lakes and 
 fountains in the park are exquisitely 
 beautiful. In the northern section stands 
 the old convent, the chapel of which is 
 now a gallery of art, containing the finest 
 collection of statuary in the country. 
 Near this are also the nursery grounds, 
 covering two and a half acres. A large 
 Zoological Garden is being constructed, 
 with underground accommodations for 
 bears, seals, the walrus, beaver, etc. The 
 park contains the best Meteorological 
 Observatory in America ; also a fine Astro- 
 nomical Observatory. There is also a 
 Paleozoic Museum, containing life-size 
 representations of most of the animals 
 believed to have existed in America dur- 
 ing the secondary and post-tertiary geo- 
 logical periods. The entire park is a mu- 
 seum of genius and curiosity, presenting 
 every-where the choicest aspects of na- 
 ture and art. 
 
 Riverside, Morningside, and Ilian 
 Bridge Parks, overlooking the Hudson, 
 above Central Park, are in tlieir infancy, 
 and give promise of great beauty.

 The view here pre- 
 sented liy our artist is 
 Olio (if the many rustic 
 retreats found in the 
 various rambles of the 
 Park, overloolving lakes 
 and lawns over wiiicli 
 are twisted and tangled 
 rose=, honeysuckle, and 
 wisteria, lending shade 
 and beauty to the ad- 
 mirer of nature and art. 
 The scene is often made 
 lively and picturesque 
 by its intricate wind- 
 ings and mystic paths, 
 interspersed with sail- 
 ing boats and swans. 
 
 Saturday afternoons 
 are the great fete occa- 
 sions of the park, in 
 which the word " Com- 
 mon " is noticed in all 
 sections, inviting one 
 and all to the freedom 
 of its velvety lawns, 
 from which you are ex- 
 cluded on other days. 
 On these occasions the 
 band of music at the 
 upper end of the Mall 
 overlooking the Lake is 
 the grand center of attraction for 
 thousands of enchanted listeners and 
 sight-seers. The bird cages, unique 
 drinking fountains, and white tents 
 scattered about on the green, afford- 
 ing sittings and shade to those who 
 would enjoy the same ; the gayly 
 dressed people passing to and fro, 
 and children merry with play, present 
 a gay and festive scene. Tiie Ramble, 
 situated between the Lake and Croton 
 Reservoir, is reached by Bow Bridge, 
 and must be seen to be appreciated, 
 as no pen can portray its beautj' and 
 loveliness.

 Headley's New Work. 
 
 Our old favorite who wrote so graphically of 
 the Sacred Mountains, J. T. Headley, has give.n 
 us another volume of a similar character upon 
 Sacred Heroes and Martyrs. He has availed 
 himself of all the modern advances in scholar- 
 ship and knowledge of the word of God to 
 clothe with vividness and reality the characters 
 (if Scripture forever sacred in the veneration of 
 iiumkind His gorgeousness of imagery revels 
 and is at home among the mighty men and sul)- 
 lime landscapes of the ancient past. A soberer 
 pen would fail to reproduce the men and their 
 surroundings in just proportions and coloring. 
 We welcome, therefore, and heartily comnieiul 
 this noble volume, with its fresh illustrations, 
 clear type, and handsome binding, hoping that 
 (lur dear old Bible, ever new because so human 
 and yet so divine, and hence adapted to our 
 profoundest necessities, may become yet more 
 thoroughly understood and universally read. —

 Excursions " Down the Bay." 
 
 The most cdarniing of all is a trip of 
 twenty-four miles to Long Branch, a 
 sail of one hour by steamboat to Sandy 
 Hook, thence by steam-car twenty min- 
 utes to the famous watering-plnce and 
 summer capital of the government — 
 President Grant's residence. As you 
 journey you pass the Battery, Castle Gar- 
 den, Governor's Island, Fort Lafayette, 
 Fort Hamilton, and Sandy Hook Light- 
 house to the left, and Staten Island, Fort 
 Wadsworth, Quarantine, and Nnvesink 
 Light-house to the right. After a surf- 
 bath and a promenade among the elite, 
 inhaling the sea-breezes, you are fully 
 prepared to do justice to the viands fur- 
 nished by any of the numerous first-class 
 Hotels that line the bluff for nearly tvi'o 
 miles. 
 
 Coney Island was for many yeais the 
 leading sea-side resort. It is still patron- 
 ized by crowds that indulge in its most 
 excellent surf-bathing. It is reached by 
 steamboat or by the Brooklyn horse-cars 
 that pass Greenwood Cemetery. 
 
 Keyport, noted for its oysters and 
 fishing, Highlands for its large hotels 
 and commanding view, and Red Bank in 
 its quiet beauty on the Navesink River, 
 are places of interest easily reached by 
 steamboat. 
 
 RocKAWAY, on the south shore of Long 
 Island, is growing rapidly as a fashion- 
 able resort, and is reached by steamboat 
 or steam-car. 
 
 Fire Island, still further east, is de- 
 serving of more than a passing notice. If 
 your time is limited, a good view of the 
 harbor may be obtained by a round trip 
 on a Staten Island ferry-boat, occupying 
 about au hour. A more extended tiip, 
 passing Bergen Point through Newark

 The Foot-Prints of Satan; 
 
 (The Counterpart of "Cod in History.") 
 By Rev. HOLLIS READ, A.M., 
 
 Late Missionary of the American Board to India ; 
 
 autlior of" God in History ;" " The Palace of the 
 
 Great King ;" " Commerce and Christianity;" 
 
 " India and its People" etc. 
 
 The author has here given the origin, charac- 
 ter, influence, and power of Satan, with histor- 
 ical outlines of his work in the abuse aud per- 
 version of every good, as shown in the ruinous 
 eft'ects of the apostasy in the affairs of the workt, 
 from Adam's fall, through Bible times, the esu-ly 
 Church, the Middle Ages, to the present day. 
 
 Here are illustrated the misuse and abuse of 
 Learning, Science, Wealth, Honors, Civil and 
 Social Positions, the Press, Pride, Ambition, 
 History, Poetry, and Song ; Customs, Manners, 
 and Fashions, and all the vast resources of Na- 
 ture and of Art ; contributing, when rightly 
 used, to man's highest and best interest. 
 
 Here are noticed the endless agencies of evil, 
 Bubstantiated by facts and figures and thrilling 
 incidents the more awful because true, making 
 up a volume of unusual interest to the scholar 
 aud general reader, and no less of profit in the 
 family circle ; and in which the most voracious 
 appetite for fiction may find its cravings abund- 
 antly satisfied — '■'■ not fictitious, yet stranger than 
 flciio7i."

 Ex:ur3iDns about N3;/ York. 
 
 Time Ciui scarcely be more pleasantly 
 employed than an excursion to Central 
 Park. Several lines of liorse cars lead 
 to it. Carriages, provided hy the Park 
 Commissioners, will conduct, at mod- 
 erate cost, persons to all the chief ob- 
 jects of interest. If you are able, it i-^ 
 more satisfactory to thread its vvindim;- 
 paths on foot. Do not expect to satisfy 
 yourself at the Park in a single day. You 
 may make an excursion to it every week 
 during the warm season without exhaust- 
 ing its curiosities or your own interest. 
 [See Prospect Park elsewhere.] 
 
 Jones's Woon, celebrated for German 
 picnics, is a fine ])lot at Sixty-eigiith- 
 street and First Avenue. 
 
 Haklem Bridge may be reached by 
 the Third Avenue horse-cars, or Steam- 
 boat from Peck Slip, near Fulton Ferry. 
 Just above is the railroad bridge, over 
 whicii are trundling at all hours the trains 
 of the Hudson River, and the Harlem and 
 the New Haven roads. 
 
 An excursicm to High Bhidof: is one 
 of the finest trips on this island. It is 
 reached by steam-car from 43d-street, by 
 steamboats from Fulton Ferry and Harlem 
 Bridge, or by carriage through the Park. 
 Tlie view from this lofty observatory is 
 enchanting. Beturning by carriage, one 
 may peep at the Bloomingdale Insane 
 Asylum; or, by making a detour west- 
 ward, one may see the New York Juvenile 
 Asylum, at 17Gtli-street, pass over Wash- 
 ington Heights (the finest part of the 
 island in the summer) to the largest insti- 
 tution in the woi'ld for the educating of 
 the deaf and dumb, to tiie Colored Oriihan 
 Asylum, and return by the Boulevard. 
 
 Another rare excursion is to the islands 
 of the East River. To visit them, go to the 
 office of the Commissioners of Charities 
 and Corrections, corner Eleventh-street 
 and Third Avenue, and obtain a permit, 
 ^!len to foot of East Twenty-sixth-street, 
 and take steamer to Blackwell's Island, 
 Ward's Island, and Randall's Island. 
 Still furtlier up the river is Hart's Island 
 and the School Siiip. See "Briglit Side

 Located 200 ynrds from the Long Island shore at the Narrows. This 
 ORTIFICATION is chiefly remarkable as hav- 
 ing been a honse of detention for political 
 prisoners during the late civil war. It cost, 
 when completed, $350,000, and mounted 
 seventy-three heavy guns, and was for many 
 years our most formidable defense from an 
 attack through the water gateway to the 
 metropolis. Its internal works were con- 
 sumed by fire in December, 1868, leaving 
 only the naked walls. It is the design of 
 the government to rebuild it on a greatly 
 
 improved scale, and liave it fully equipped with the most approved 
 
 armament of modern limes.

 Maritime Defenses. 
 
 Many millions have been expended on 
 the fortifications about New York, and 
 yet they are regarded as inadequate to 
 the importance of the demand. Entering 
 the port of New York from the ocean, we 
 notice first the immense Government 
 works at Sandy Hook, which are being 
 constructed on a scale for strength and 
 durability that will surpass any fortress 
 on the Atlantic coast. We next notice 
 Fort Hamilton and Fort Lafayette — aee 
 Illustrations. Opposite these, on Staten 
 Island, are Fort Richmond and Fort 
 Tompkins; adjoining these are Batteries 
 Hudson, Morton, North Cliff, and South 
 Cliff; these, witli Fort Hamilton, com- 
 mand tlie approaches to the city through 
 tlie Narrows. 
 
 The upper bay contains several islands 
 well adapted for fortifications. 
 
 Governor's Island, nearly two thirds of 
 a mile from Castle Garden, contains sev- 
 enty-two acres. Here are located Fort 
 Columbus, a large star-shaped fortifica- 
 tion, and Castle William, a three-story 
 round tower, 60 feet high and 600 feet in 
 circumference, and mounts over 100 guns. 
 .On Ellis's Island, S.W. from Castle Gar- 
 den, is Fort Gibson, and near by is Bed- 
 loe's Island, occupied by Fort Wood. It 
 can mount 80 guns, and garrison 350 men. 
 Fort Schuyler is situated on Throgg's 
 Neck, at the entrance of the East River 
 into Long Island Sound. It is a strong 
 fortification, built of granite and earth- 
 works, and mounts over 300 guns. This, 
 and the fortress at Willett's Point oppo- 
 site, serve as a defense from an attack on 
 the city through the Sound. Here are 
 located tlie principal Engineer Depot and 
 Torpedo School of the United States 
 Army. Here are deposited immense quan- 
 tities of surplus stores that accumulated 
 during and since the war. In passing 
 we notice that at Hallett's Point the 
 Government has been three years making 
 excavations under the East River, with 
 the view of removing the Hell Gate ob- 
 structions. It is not expected that the 
 grand explosion will take place before 
 the centennial celebration. The Harlem 
 steamboats land at Astoria, near by. 
 
 The Howe Se'wing Itlacliine. The b(?Bt 
 Family Sewing Machine. Was awarded a Gold Me<ial

 Cemeteries of New York. 
 
 For many years all interments were 
 made in the grounds of the various 
 cliurches, of which there were twenty- 
 two south of the City Hall as late as 1823. 
 In 1813 the authorities j^rohibited burials 
 below Canal-street. 
 
 Trinity Cemktery, ISoth-street and 
 10th Avenue, (Washington Heights,) com- 
 prises 36 acres. It was purchased for 
 $14,000 in 1842. The remains of Philip 
 Livingston, one of the signers of the Dec- 
 laration, John Jacob Astor, and many of 
 tlie old New York families, are buried here. 
 
 WooDLAWN is situated seven miles north 
 of Harlem Bridge, contains over 300 acres, 
 and was laid out in 1865. About 15,000 
 interments have been made here, and the 
 grounds are being rapidly improved, and 
 in landscape beauty will soon rival Green- 
 wood. The remains of Admiral Farragut, 
 and many distinguished citizens, are bur- 
 ied here, with costly and elaborate mon- 
 uments to mark their resting-place. 
 
 New York Bay is situated in New Jer- 
 sey, two and one half miles from the 
 Jersey City Fen y. It contains 50 acres, 
 and has received nearly 55,000 bodies. 
 
 The Potter's Field was what is now 
 AYashington Square, and was moved from 
 there to Randall's Island, then to Ward's, 
 and finally to Hart's Island, and is now 
 known as the City Cemetery. 
 
 Monuments. — The most prominent of 
 Avliich are the Washington (sec cut) and 
 I/incoln Monuments at Union Square, the 
 former erected by private subscription, 
 the latter by the Union League Club, 
 In Trinity Church-yard are located the 
 Martyrs' Monument, (see cut,) the tombs 
 of Alexander Hamilton and Capt. Law- 
 rence. On the west side of Madison 
 Square is seen a granite obelisk to the 
 memory of Gen. Worth, the hero of 
 Cherubusco and Chapultepec. At Print- 
 ing-House Square, fronting the Times 
 and Tribune buildings, is located an ele- 
 gant bronze statue of Benjamin Frank- 
 lin. Central Park lias been appropriately 
 honored with the monuments of several 
 distinguished men ; among them are the 
 statues of Prof. Morse, Columbus, Shaks- 
 peare, Humboldt, Walter Scott, and others. 
 
 The Adulteration of Food. 
 
 That food is more or less adulterated every 
 body well knows, and to -what extent very few 
 Buspect, and about which the great mass have 
 little or no concern. Wherever it will pay, men 
 will adulterate articles of commerce. Food is 
 adulterated in order to increase its size and 
 weight ; to enable one dealer to undersell another 
 by lessening the expense of manufacture, and to 
 improve its color, taste, or appearance. Teas, 
 coffees, spices, sugars, and pastry generally are 
 largely victims of this species of fraud. Wheat 
 flour in its various uses meets more largely the 
 demands of our natures, and is more largely 
 consumed than any other staple product of the 
 earth. This, too, is not free from the abuses of 
 which we speak. Bakers' bread is whiter and 
 lighter than home-made bread on account of 
 the alum which it contains. Of the injurious 
 effects of alum we quote from the authority of 
 George M. Beard, A.M., M.D., late Lecturer on 
 Nervous Diseases in the University of New 
 York : "Alum is much employed to lighten and 
 give whiteness to bread. The daily introduc- 
 tion of small quantities of alum into the stomach 
 must interfere in some degree with the exercise 
 of its functions, and to those troubled with in- 
 digestion it must prove highly injurious. Per- 
 sons affected with stomach complaints should 
 be careful to get bread made without alum." 
 
 The other extreme of heavy, soggy bread is 
 too frequently produced by bad yeast, and the 
 use of the various baking powders that are forced 
 upon an unsuspecting public. Such bread 
 should never be eaten, except by those who are 
 in imminent danger of starvation. 
 
 That light and healthful bread and pastry can 
 be produced in om* own homes is no longer a 
 doubt, it having been fully and satisfactorily 
 tested in the use of Sea Foam, a preparation of 
 recent invention, and secured to the manufac- 
 turer by letters patent. It is stronger than any 
 yeast or baking powder, as demonstrated in tlie 
 fact that in the use of Sea Foam a barrel of flour 
 V ill make forty pounds more bread, without any 
 of the bad qualities of yeast, baking powder, 
 soda, or saleratus. In matters of economy there 
 is not only an increase in quantity, but a large 
 saving of eggs, milk, shortening, etc. No time 
 required for dough to raise ; simply bake in 
 a hot, quick oven as soon as mixed. Sea 
 Foam is warranted to make better, lighter, 
 healthier, sweeter, and more digestible and nu- 
 tritious bread, biscuits, cakes, puddings, etc., 
 than can be made any other way.

 Croton Aqueduct and High Bridge. 
 
 The completion of the Croton Aque- 
 duct in 1842 was one of the most mag- 
 nificent enterprises of modern times. A 
 dam tlirown across Croton River (which 
 empties into the Hudson above Sing Sing) 
 raised the water 40 feet, forming Croton 
 Lake. The distance from CrotonLake to 
 the distributing reservoir, on Murray Hill, 
 (Forty-second-street,) is forty-one and a 
 half miles. The Aqueduct is constructed 
 of stone, brick, and cement, arched above 
 and below, is seven and a half feet wide 
 and eight and a half high, with an inclina- 
 tion of thirteen inches to the mile, and has 
 capacity for a flow of 60,000,000 gallons 
 of waterier diem. In Westchester County 
 it crosses 25 streams, some of them 70 
 feet below the line of grade, besides 
 many brooks furnished with culverts. 
 Opposite Eiuhty-sixth-street is a receiv- 
 ing reservoir covering 35 acres, containing 
 150,000,000 gallons. Another was added 
 several years since, covering over 100 acres 
 and 38 feet deep, with a capacity of 1,030,- 
 000,000 gallons. Two other large reser- 
 voirs have recently been added to the 
 "Storage" and the "High Service," at 
 High Bridge, the latter to facilitate the 
 flow of water to the elevated portions of 
 the city at Washington Heights. The 
 Croton water supplies Sing Sing prison, 
 all the institutions of Blackwell's, Ran- 
 dall's, and Ward's Islands, and has been 
 introduced into 67,000 dwellings and 
 stores, 1,624 manufactories, 317 churches, 
 and about 300 buildings used as hospitals, 
 prisons, schools, etc. 
 
 High Bridge. — This immense granite 
 structure was erected to conduct the 
 Croton water over the Harlem River, 
 which at this point is 620 feet wide, and 
 the whole valley between the opposite 
 cliflfs one quarter of a mile. The bridge 
 is 1,450 feet long, uniting the cliflfs ; is 
 composed of eight arches, with a span 
 of 80 feet each, the crown of the highest 
 being 100 feet liigh, to prevent obstruc- 
 tion to navigation. Over this bridge the 
 water is carried in immense iron pipes, 
 and above them is an airy pathway, in 
 the realm of the birds, for the lovers of 
 the picturesque and grand.

 THE LOSTTcAUSE, 
 
 A STANDARD 
 
 Southern History of the Late War. 
 
 By EDWARD A. POLLARD, of Virginia. 
 
 Compritiing a full and authentic account of the Ri/ie 
 
 and Progress of the late Southern Confederacy ; 
 
 the Campaigns^ BatilcH, Incidents, and Adventures 
 
 of the most gigantic struggle of the world's hisiory. 
 
 In one Royal Octavo Volume of 762 Pages and 24 
 
 Steel Portraits. 
 
 The history of the vanquished has been too often written 
 
 by the pen of the victor, and that justice might be rendered 
 
 the fallen, the author has attempted the vindication of 
 
 his countrymen in a history which shall challenge the 
 
 criticism of the intelligent, and invito the attention of all 
 
 honest inquirers. 
 
 There are already published no less than twenty- two 
 Histories of the War arranged by Northern writers ; and 
 to correctly understand the points at issue during the 
 great struggle, we must have the facts and figures from 
 a Southern Historian ; for we can only arrive at the truth 
 by a knowledge of the events as seen by both parties to 
 the struggle. 
 
 The New York Rome Jmtrnal says : — ^No fair history 
 of this struggle could have been written alone. The 
 history by Mr. Pollard is naturally supplemental to that 
 of Mr. Greeley. In point of cvecution, "The Lost 
 Cause" is a model of grace, elegance, and beauty of dic- 
 tion. Wo listen to the beating of the drum, the shriek 
 of the fife, and the thunder-music of cannon, in the 
 serried thread of its sentences.

 Our Home Puysician. By George M. 
 Beard, M. D. — This work does even 
 more than its title promises. It contains 
 an outline of anatomy and physiology ; 
 an elaborate and admirable treatise on 
 hygiene; the most complete treatment of 
 the subject accessible to American read- 
 ers ; careful instructions how to act in all 
 emergencies which require surgical treat- 
 ment ; and an account, compiled from the 
 latest sources, of the principal diseases 
 known, and of the best metliods of treat- 
 ing them, with an ample list of the most 
 useful medical prescriptions. Dr. Beard 
 has been assisted in this work by a num- 
 ber of eminent men, and has succeeded 
 in making a popular treatise on the science 
 of medicine very far superior to any other 
 in existence. That such a book has im- 
 portant \ises no one can doubt. It is not 
 designed to take the place of an educated 
 and expert physician ; on the contrary, 
 it will be found his best ally and friend. 
 It teaches when and how he ought to be 
 consulted; in what spirit his directions 
 are to be followed and his eftbrts sec- 
 onded ; and it puts in a striking light the 
 dangers of quackery and ignorance. On 
 the other hand, there are thousands of 
 households which have no access at all to 
 physicians whom they trust, and still more 
 which are so far from their medical ad- 
 visers that it takes much time to summon 
 them, and they are not called at all except 
 in pressing need, and often too late to be 
 useful. To such families this work will 
 be invaluable, showing clearly, as it does, 
 what it is best in all such cases to do, 
 when the physician must be called, and 
 what must be done in the interval before 
 his arrival. The careful study of the book 
 may be confidently recommended to all 
 who desire to understand the genera! 
 principles of a science to whose hands our 
 lives and dearest interests are so often 
 confided. " Our Home Physician " con- 
 tains all that any unprofessional man can 
 need or care to learn of medical science.

 Very few American writers have enjoyed so 
 wide and so permanent a popularity as Mr. 
 Ileadley. The announcement of an entirely 
 new volume from his pen, and one, too, de- 
 voted to a class of subjects in writing of which 
 he has achieved his greatest popularity, must 
 attract wide attention anil excite unusual inter- 
 est. The records of inspiration are full of Heroes 
 and Heroic Deeds; and the task of portraying 
 themes so gi-and and sublime could not have more 
 .appropriately fallen to the lot of any living writer. In 
 this new volume, which bears the title of " Sacred 
 Hkeobs and Martyrs," Mr. Ileadley writes of charac- 
 ters more or less familiar to every student of the Bible ; 
 but his extraordinary eloquence, his power of vivid and 
 graphic descriptions, and his skill in grouping together 
 the most striking events in the lives of those whose his- 
 tory he describes, invests them with an interest alto- 
 gether new. The leading characters in both Old and 
 New Testament history, whose heroism, Christian faith, 
 sufferings, and martyrdom have made them famous for 
 all time, or who were chosen by divine power as the in- 
 struments for the accomplishment of his great purposes, 
 are described in this volume, every page of which glows 
 with that graphic power which distinguishes Mr. 
 Hcadley above every other American writer. 
 
 The Eight full-page Steel Plate Illustrations, from 
 original designs by A. L. Rawson, the celebrated trav- 
 eler and artist, are an important and attractive feature

 Brooklyn. 
 
 Early History. — The soil of this thriv- 
 ing city was originally claimed by the 
 Canarsie Indians, a large tribe which in- 
 habited the southern portions of what is 
 now Kings County, New York. The first 
 transfer of real estate to white men is 
 believed to have occurred in 1636, when 
 William Bennet and James Bentyn jjur- 
 cliased 936 acres at Gowanus. The town- 
 ship was incorporated by the Legislature 
 in 1806, in 1816 it became an incorporated 
 village, and in 1820 it contained some 
 small manufactories and 7,175 inhabitants. 
 
 As It Is. — Brooklyn became an incor- 
 porated city in 1834, with a population 
 of about 20,000. In 1855, by an act of 
 consolidation, Williamsburgh, Green- 
 point, Wallabout, Bedford, New Brook- 
 lyn, Bush wick, Gowanus, and South 
 Brooklyn, were all united as Brooklyn, 
 tlie old city being designated the West- 
 ern District, and the other portions the 
 Eastern. Brooklyn has now 23 miles of 
 exterior line; 16,000 acres of ground, 
 sub-divided into 250,000 building lots, 
 on nearly 60,000 of which structures have 
 been erected. The city is 8 miles long, 
 with an average breadth of 3^ miles, and 
 has a magnificent river and bay water- 
 front of 8 miles. At the period of con- 
 solidation the poj^ulation of the united 
 districts amounted to 205,250, but in 1870 
 it had swelled to 400,000, making it the 
 third city in the Union. 
 
 Connections with New York. — Four- 
 teen lines of ferries connect the two 
 cities, and carry about 50,000,000 passen- 
 gers per annum. Boats run at all hours 
 from New York at foot of Catherine, Ful- 
 ton, Wall, and Whitehall streets ; the last 
 named go to Atlantic-street, and also to 
 Hamilton Avenue, Brooklyn. Other lines 
 run from Roosevelt-street, New York, to 
 Broadway, E. D. ; from James Slip, N. Y., 
 to Bridge-street; from Jackson-street, 
 N. Y., to Hudson Avenue ; from Houston- 
 street, N. Y., to Grand-street, E. D. ; from

 (BROOKLYN.) 
 
 Navy-Yard.— In 1 801 the United States 
 Government purchased 55 acres of ground 
 hicated on WaUabout Bay, now hing be- 
 tween the Eastern and Western Districts 
 of Brooklyn. Subsequent purchases 
 increased the plot to about 200 acres, 
 which cost originally $40,000, and is now 
 valued at $20,000,000. The Navy-Yard 
 proper covers about fifty acres, is laid 
 out with paved streets and walks, which 
 arf. kept exceedingly clean. The Dry 
 Dock, begun in 1841, is a vast structure 
 capable of taking in a ship 300 feet long, 
 and cost between two and three million 
 dollars. It is emptied by steam-pumps. 
 The yard contains large buildings, to 
 cover ships of war while in process of con- 
 struction, extensive lumber warehouses, 
 great numbers of cannon, pyramids of 
 sliot and shell, shops, founderies. etc., 
 etc. A naval museum, filled with curi- 
 osities sent home by officers, a marine 
 hospital, with bari'acks for troops, cot- 
 tages for officers, and otlujr necessary 
 appendages, are spread around the prem- 
 ises. It is a place of curiosity, and 
 is visited by many thousands annually; 
 "Ijut as it occupies nearly the heart of the 
 city, many enterprising residents would 
 gladly see it removed. 
 
 Ridgewood. —The citizens of Brook- 
 lyn have projected nothing more credit- 
 able than the Ridgewood Water-works. 
 The water is brought a distance of 20 
 miles, through an aqueduct, from Hemp- 
 stead Pond. The volume is considera- 
 l)ly increased in its way by various lakes 
 and streams along the line. 200,000,000 
 gallons are received daily, most of which 
 is drawn off for use by the populace. 
 The principal reservoir is at East New 
 York, 170 feet above the sea level ; it 
 has a capacity of 160,000,000 gallons, and 
 is kept nearly full. The distributing- 
 reservoir is on Mount Prospect, and lias 
 capacity for 20,000,000 gallons. Tlie 
 city has laid more than 200 miles of water 
 pipe, and introduced the water into about 
 40,000 buildings. The entire cost of the 
 enterprise has been about $7,000,000.

 BrooKlyn Parks. 
 
 Prospect Park. — The legislation lead- 
 ing to tlie formation of this beautiful 
 l)ark began in 1859, though the original 
 plan was exceedingly meager in its pro- 
 visions. The site of this park is one of 
 surprising natural beauty, with magnifi- 
 cent views embracing every variety of 
 ])rospt'et and scenery. The rich soil is 
 covered in summer with a luxuriant growth 
 of plants and flowers; stately forest trees 
 wave in the breeze ; hillocks, lakes, and 
 water-courses lend the charms of rural 
 scenery; while art, with lavish expendi- 
 ture, has been introduced to supply with 
 exquisite sculpture and multiplied 
 adornments all that can please the eye 
 and enrich the mind. Tlie park contains 
 5.10 acres, and had cost in 1871 nine mill- 
 ions. 25 acres are devoted to zoological 
 gardens. Its tasteful arbors, terraces, 
 exquisite bridges, music-stands, skating 
 jionds, winding pedestrian and carriage 
 ways, in magnificence equal those of Cen- 
 tral Park, New York. The value of tax- 
 al)le property in Brooklyn has been more 
 tlian doubled since tlie laying out of this 
 park. 
 
 Washingtox Park. —This park covers 
 the site of Fort Green of Revolutionary 
 fame, and is the oldest of the Brooklyn 
 parks. It is but a short distance from the 
 ferry, will wtdl repay a visit, and may be 
 reached by the horse cars. 
 
 Carroll Park. — This is a small park 
 handsomely formed at the intersection of 
 Carroll and Court streets. It is much 
 frequented by the working classes. 
 
 Brooklyn Parade Ground. — This is 
 a level tract of rich greensward just out- 
 side of the city limits on the way to 
 Coney Island, and is considered the finest 
 parade ground in the United States. 
 
 Prospect Park Fair Grounds, situ- 
 ated at Gravesend, between Brooklyn and 
 Coney Island, is owned by a private asso- 
 ciation, and is a tract of 80 acres con- 
 taining a one-mile driving track, a club- 
 house, a hotel, and fair ground, costing. 
 in the aggregate over a quarter of a mill- 
 ion. 
 
 There are several other parks and 
 drives of more or less notoriety.

 Tlii.s work was written upon the suggestion 
 and at the request of many New Yorkers, 
 friends of the distinguished historian who lias 
 ISO ably consummated the end desired in supply- 
 ing the historical links so essential and import- 
 ant in the record of the Great Metropolis. 
 Every important event that transpires in New 
 York affecting the commercial, financial, or 
 religious world is echoed from shore to shore, 
 and at once excites public attention and curiosity. 
 
 No events of modern history have so aroused 
 public sympathy or indignation as the depreda- 
 tions committed by the cruel and lawless mobs 
 that have at different times broken out in New 
 York. Our author in his work has given his- 
 torical accounts of the causes and results, with 
 thrilling descriptions of the incidents and scenes 
 of the Days of Terror in New York, from 
 the Slave Kiots of Colonial times to the present 
 day, depicting the horrors of mob violence, the 
 unbridled passions of excited multitudes, the 
 uprising of the peot>le to suppress anarchy and 
 defend their lives, property, and homes ; written 
 with that power, grandeur, and soul-stirrin;r 
 style peculiar to our distinguished author. The 
 narratives of daring deeds, sacrifices, and bravery 
 of our police and military authorities in their 
 hand-to-hand conflicts with the lioters are so 
 vividly and truthfully portrayed as to surpass 
 any thing on the pages of romance or fiction.

 Churches, (Brooklyn.) 
 
 A result of the constant increase of 
 business facilities is the crowding out of 
 the resident population, and thus deplet- 
 ing the Churches. The suburban cities are 
 generally devoted to residences, affording 
 a wide field for their development. 
 Brooklyn has over 200 houses of worship, 
 and is appropriately termed " The City 
 of Churches." Some of the largest socie- 
 ties of nearly all the denominations in 
 the country, some of the most imposing 
 church edifices yet reared, and some of 
 the most celebrated pulpit orators of 
 America, are found in Brooklyn. 
 
 First Reformed Church.— This is 
 the oldest society in Brooklyn, with 
 a history reaching back to the days 
 of New Amsterdam. The edifice stands 
 on Joralemon-street, near Court. 
 
 Plymouth Church, on Orange-street, 
 between Hicks and Henry, is the most 
 celebrated. It contains seating for 3,000 
 people, and is usually filled. The pews 
 rent for over $50,000, the organ cost 
 $23,000, and the membei*ship numbers 
 nearly 2,000. Rev. H. W. Beecher has 
 been its pastor since 1847. 
 
 Strong Place Baptist Church, corner 
 of Strong Place and De Graw-street ; one 
 of the strongest in the denomination. 
 
 St. James Cathedral, (Catholic,) on 
 Fiafayette Avenue, is an imposing edifice. 
 
 Free Tabernacle, a large, new struc- 
 tin-e, situated on Schermerhorn-street, 
 near Nevins. Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, 
 its pastor, is one of the most earnest 
 preachers in America, and has the larg- 
 est audience on the Continent. 
 
 Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian 
 Church, corner of Lafayette Avenue and 
 Oxford-street. It has seating for nearly 
 2,000, and a membership of 1,200. Rev. 
 T. L. Cuyler, D.D., pastor. 
 
 Saint .John's Methodist Episcopal 
 Church, situated on Bedford Avenue and 
 Wilson-street, is an elegant structure. 
 
 Saint Ann's Protestant Episcopal 
 Church, corner of Clinton and Lexing- 
 ton Avenue, cost $350,000. It has a chime 
 of bells. Society large and wealthy. 
 
 Alany other Churches are nearly as dis- 
 tinguished as the above.

 family physician and surgeon, touching diseases, 
 accidents, medicines, and the treatment due to 
 all cases that may he presented. It treats fully 
 of the care of the sick and the management of 
 children ; it gives the general laws and history 
 of disease ; it gives plain instructions, and points 
 out the simplest and most easily attainable reme- 
 dies in case of accidents and sudden emergen- 
 cies. Being intended for use also where the 
 services of a surgeon or physician cannot be had, 
 or only after long delay, on plantations, in mines, 
 on long voyages, or at residences remote from 
 any town, the graver diseases ai-e treated of at 
 considerable length, and dii-ections cai-efuUy 
 prescribed. The author's purpose is to aid in 
 the prevention as well as the cure of disease, 
 and for this end he presents physiological and 
 anatomical focts in popular language, avoiding 
 technicalities when practicable. 
 
 The work appears to have been written and 
 compiled with conscientious care. Though its 
 matter occupies a thousand pages, we find noth- 
 ing in it which could have been omitted with 
 propriety or presented in fewer words. If it 
 could be placed in every house in America, it 
 would save many hundreds of lives every year, 
 besides preventing or relieving an amount of 
 suffering beyond all estimate. We all know the 
 cheering efl'ect of the appearance of the Doctor, 
 and how, in his presence, the faces of patient!'* 
 and attendants lighten np with confidence and 
 hope. Something of this same comforting and 
 wholesome effect will be produced by this Home 
 Physician, which, thoxigh it has no pleasant 
 voice or tender hand, is yet always present with 
 its silent counsel and careful prescriptions. In 
 the present age of enlightenment the faculty look 
 with liberal favor upon works intended to gen- 
 eralize and diffuse such information as Dr. 
 Beard's work contains. Reference to diseases, 
 remedies, and other subjects is facilitated by 
 means of a carefully prepiu-cd index. There aro 
 fifty or sixty pages of prescriptions, a list of 
 medicines and the form and quantity in which 
 they are used, a glossary of the few scientific and 
 professional terms made use of in the body of 
 the work, and some hundreds of engravings.

 Cemeteries of Brooklyn Suburbs. 
 
 GitEENWooD, the oldest and most 
 noted of all the New York cemeteries, is 
 situated on Gowanus Heights, Brooklyn, 
 and about two and one half miles from 
 South Ferry, and contains 413 acres of 
 land, purchased of over 60 dift'erent 
 owners. The surface has been graded at 
 immense expense ; the entrance ways are 
 marked with rich adornments, and the 
 whole grounds are encircled with an iron 
 fence. It contains 17 miles of carriage 
 roads, and 15 miles of foot-paths, most 
 of which, covered with concrete, are 
 always free from dust, mud, and weeds. 
 The grounds are adorned with finely- 
 Avrougiit vaults, and with over 2,000 
 monuments, some of which have cost 
 large fortunes. The monuments of Char- 
 lotte Canda, De Witt Clinton, D. H. 
 Lewis, and Col. Vosburgh are among 
 the most imposing. About 185,000 
 interments have been made in these 
 grounds, and the annual income from 
 the sale of lots exceeds $300,000. 
 
 Cypeess Hill is situated on Long Isl- 
 and, north of the Brooklyn and Jamaica 
 turnpike, is partly in Kings and partly 
 in Queens Counties, and about five miles 
 from the ferry near Peck Slip. The 
 grounds comprise about 400 acres, con- 
 taining large natural forests. The views 
 from the elevations in this cemetery are 
 very extensive. Brooklyn, New Y"ork, 
 Jersey City, and the Palisades, to the 
 west and north, are spread out with pan- 
 oramic grandeur ; while to the south, as 
 far as the eye can extend, roll the blue 
 waves of the Atlantic, bounded by the 
 horizon. Over 100,000 interments have 
 been made here since 1848, including tlie 
 remains of 4,060 soldiers of the late war. 
 
 The Cemetery of the Evergreens is 
 situated three miles east of Williams- 
 burgh. It is a large and beautiful plot, 
 with variegated surface and scenery. 
 
 Calvary was laid out in August, 1848, 
 at Newtown, Long Island, and contains 
 75 acres. It is the consecrated burial- 
 ground of Roman Catholics, 200,000 
 bodies having already been interred here.

 " It has been compiled with laborious fidelity and 
 praiseworthy impartiality by Rev. J. F. Itichmond, one 
 of the tciilins- city missionaries, and havinj; bouK-ht and 
 honestly paid for it, I have no motive to euiojfize it from 
 any mercenary consideration. Nor does i)i-ivate Iriend- 
 ship sway tne, for I have not the sliglitest acquaintance 
 witli eitlier compiler or publisher. But just because I 
 find it as the title-pa^'-e asserts, 'A Library of Informa- 
 tion,' illusti-ated with more than 200 enjrravinjrs, and 
 covering in some sense the history of the city from its 
 foundation, as well as its present state. Indeed, in a 
 comprehensive and summary manner about every thinjj 
 which one could desire in this epitomized way is here 
 presented in a generally reli.ible and distinct manner, so 
 as to be easily available as a hand-book for ready refer- 
 ence. What Ainericiin can contemplate this gieat city 
 mthout admiration!"

 Ne.v Jersey Suburbs. 
 
 New Jersey li.is become a popular 
 section of tlie country on account of the

 R«v. THEO. Ij. CUYI^ER. O. O.. of 
 lirni k!yii. says: I thank yon for a eopv of this 
 tniiijite and valnatile wi.rk on fi<it<in in hiiinan history. 
 The oliapter on the ravages and ruin of stroni; di-ink is 
 alone' worth the priee of the book. A vast deal of valu- 
 able information can only be g-ot from Mr. Read's inyrn- 
 ious eonii)ilation of facts from the dark side of luiman 
 history. It is a suu-yestive book for ministers and ?>un- 
 day-school teachers. 
 
 aAMES ni'COSH, D.D., LL.D , Pifsi- 
 rt«iit of PriiiO'toii Collcg", says: The new 
 
 work by tlie author of '-God in iristory.""so extensively 
 read ill America and Great I5ritain. does not need an'v 
 introduction or recommendation by another All that 
 yi>u need put on the title-pasre is, "JJythe author of 
 • God in History.'" 
 
 Rt'V. jr. H. VINTCEVT. D.T>., Editor Suii- 
 «'siy-m lio<il Journal says: Its serious and mas- 
 terly treatment of the subject will carry conviction. 
 The book is a timely production, nnd will 'coiitii-m fiith 
 and strengthen hands that now make valiant warfare 
 ai^-.iinst the enemy of souls. I wish it a wide circulation. 
 
 Rtv. WOAH PORTER, D.D., IiL,.D., 
 Pre i •■111 of Yal«' C'olle<i«% says: The Foot- 
 prints of Satan is a fearful book, bnt it is well titted to 
 arouse a- wholesome fear of the agency which does such 
 horrible work in tlie world. 
 
 R< V. BISHOP \\M. L. HARRIS, D.D., 
 
 says: The book is well written, and its startliuK- array 
 of facts and fis-ures show but too clearlv that we wrestle 
 not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers of the 
 darkness of this world. 
 
 R«'V. AT.PRED IVEVIIV. D.D.. in Prpxhii- 
 teriiin MW./r/if, says : The author exhibits in a ma.sterly 
 manner a most solemn and startling array of truth on "a 
 subject of tremendous interest 
 
 R.V. DAIVIEL, CURRY, D.D., Editov 
 New Yoi k C liristian A«l vo<-:i t«', says: 'i'he 
 bonk is worth reading for its direct usefulness in e.vjios- 
 ing wrong-doinu:. and becau.se it strips gided and im- 
 posing vices of their false coloring and jiresents them as 
 t.licy truly are. the work of the devil ! 
 
 li«-v. L,\-I>IA1V ABBOTT, D.R.. in C/i'ix/uni. 
 U'e/'i-l;/. iay»: The book is full of u.seful information; 
 it embodies the result of research that must ha'c taken

 Weslohestsr Suburbs. 
 
 AVestcliestor is, an 1 must ever contimie, 
 one of the most celel)ratc'(l counties of 
 tlie Empire State; its ])rnxiuiity to the 
 metropolis, the beauty of its sccucry bor- 
 dering on Lono- Ishmd Sound, skirted its 
 entire lengt]) by the finest river in tlie 
 woild. tlireaded l>y railroads, its surface 
 dotted witli towns and jjalatial resi- 
 dences, rendering it one of the most 
 ■wealthy and ])icturesque sections on the 
 continent. Three of its southern towns, 
 Morrisanin. West Farms, and Kings- 
 bridge, ha\ e recently been added to Xew 
 York city. The New Haven liailroad 
 runs across the southern portion of tlie 
 county, and has several charming villages 
 on its line, among which are Kye, New 
 Rochelle, ^Liiiiaroneck, and Port Chester. 
 The Harlem Hailroacl runs about mid-way 
 and diagon.illy through the county, a;iu 
 has fine villigcs all along the route. T.ie 
 princij)al ones are Mount Vernon, Tiiek- 
 ahoe, and White Plains. The New York, 
 Boston, and 3I(intreal Railroad runs mid- 
 way between the Harlem and the llu Ison 
 Rivers, and crosses Croton Lake. l]ut 
 the chief attractions of Westchester are 
 spread ulong the bank of the llud.-on 
 River, where nearly every eminence is sur- 
 mounted by the embowered palace of a 
 "New Yorker,"' whose money has been 
 so profusely lavished on his grounds as 
 to render tlieni a paradise of beauty and 
 fragrance. A strip of country one mile 
 wide, stretching from Spuyten D.iyvel to 
 Sing Sing, contains nnu'e of taste, cul- 
 ture, and wealth, than any rural district 
 .of its size on the continent. 
 
 YoxKER.s, 15 miles from City Hall, is 
 an incorporated city of about 30,000 peo- 
 ple. It has fine churches, schools, and 
 considerable business. 
 
 Dobb's Ferry, 20 miles from New 
 York, is a neat and thriving village. 
 
 Irvingtox, 22 miles from the city, is 
 a charming spot, where wealth and taste 
 have done their utmost. 
 
 Tarrytowx, 25 miles up the Hudson, 
 is another place of exquisite beauty ; near 
 by is "Sunny Side." the residence of 
 Irving, and "Sleepy Hollow," the scene 
 of his lescend. 
 
 A LessDn from the Cliiii033. 
 
 " Colonel Waring, of Ogclen Farm, who.se pre- 
 vious writings have won for liini au enviable 
 reputation, will soon offer to his numerous con- 
 stituents, through the well-known publisher, 
 Mr. E. B. Treat, of this city. 
 
 The Handy-Book of Husbandry.' 
 
 'A Guide for Farinei-s, Young and ()ld.' Tlie 
 style is a very pleasant one, as the following in- 
 teresting e.xtract from the chapter on fertilizers 
 may serve to show: 'Longer ago than twice the 
 age of Rome, China was a prosperous, indus- 
 trious, and, in many respects, a cultivated coun- 
 try. From that day to this every particle of 
 human excrement has been almost religiously 
 returned to the soil. Yet, to-day, with about 
 one-third of the world's population living exclu- 
 sively upon her productions, she has less abject 
 poverty than has any other country in the world 
 except .Japan, where the same practices prevail. 
 It is ditncult to read history in the short chap- 
 ter that our own country presents ; yet tlie wash- 
 ing of towns into rivers, and of rivers into the 
 sea, is even here telling an unmistakable tale. 
 That myth,' virgin land of inexhaustible fertility,' 
 is traveling yearly westward. Once it was founi.1 
 in the Mohawk Valley, then on the Genesee 
 Flats, then the Western Reserve of Ohio, and 
 the Miami and Sciota hottoms, then the won- 
 derful prairies of Illinois, then the States hor- 
 dering the Mississippi River on the West ; and 
 now trom the very last of these comes the cry, 
 which has traveled toward them by steady steps 
 from the Mohawk Valley, of the disastrous effect 
 of midge and rust and Hessian fly, and dry sea- 
 sons and wet seasons, and the endless list of 
 calamities which we rarely hear of save on lands 
 of waning fertility. By a better system of agri- 
 culture, with the aid of underdraining, subsoil 
 plowing, cattle-feeding, and rotation of crops, 
 we are fighting the fiend of exhaustion with much 
 success. But, by and b.v, perhaps a hundred 
 years, and perhaps five liundred .years hence, 
 we shall have exhausted even this hidden fer- 
 tility of the soil, for there is nothing more cer- 
 tain than that the material which we take from 
 the land and deposit in mid-ocean will never 
 return to the land by any natural process. Ami 
 until we learn to carefully save and faithfully 
 return to the soil the rejected elements of our 
 food, we shall continue to follow, whether appar- 
 ently or not, the road which Rome has traveled 
 before us.' " — Fj-oih the New York Ifo/'/rf.

 How to reacli the Suburbs. 
 
 Most of the steamers and ferry-boats 
 land their passengers on the lower por- 
 tions of tlie island, many of tliem nearly 
 opposit-e the City Hall. To reach a point 
 further up take the horse-cars or an 
 omnibus. If you wish to go to tlie west 
 side, take the Belt line in West-street, 
 the Ninth, Eighth, Seventh, or Sixth 
 Avenue line, or tlie Elevated road, which 
 lands passengers near the Hudson River 
 Depot, at West 30th-street. If you wish 
 to go to the Grand Central Depot take 
 the Third or Fourth Avenue cars. There 
 are cross-town lines of cars connecting 
 the up-town ferries. The Eighth Avenue 
 cars run to 143d-street, passing the 
 entire length of Central Park. To 
 reach Mott Haven, Morrisania, Tre- 
 niont, or Fordham, take Third Avenue 
 horse cars, or the Harlem Railroad, from 
 Grand Central Depot. To reach any point 
 on the north bank of Harlem River, or 
 Yonkers, Dobbs Ferry, Irvington, Tarry- 
 town, or Sing Sing, take Hudson River 
 Railroad. To reach Manhattanville and 
 Washington Heights, take Eighth Avenue 
 cars. To reach any point in Brooklyn or 
 Greenwood or Cypress Hill Cemeteries, 
 cross by Brooklyn ferries and take 
 the horse-cars. To reach Coney Is- 
 land, take horse-cars from Brooklyn 
 Ferry, or go by steamer. To reach Far 
 Rockaway, take steamer. To reach any 
 point along the lower Hudson, take, if 
 you prefer, steamer iu afternoon, foot of 
 Harrison-street, Norih River. To reach 
 points in New Jersey, cross by ferry and 
 take steam-cars on Midland, Erie, New 
 .Jersey Central, Delaware and Western, or 
 the Northern New Jersey road. To reach 
 any point on east shore of Stateu Island, 
 take ferry foot of Whitehall-street. To 
 reach any point on northern shore of same, 
 take ferry foot Dey-strcet, North River. 
 
 Uapid Transit. — Schemes for im- 
 proved facilities of city transit have been 
 multiplying for several years. It is un- 
 certain which plan will be adoi:)ted, and 
 still more uncertain which will be con- 
 structed. The importance of the matter, 
 however, should lead to prompt and 
 deliiiite results.

 The Publishers present "Our Home Physician" with the assurance t'.int it is the most 
 important and valuable Medical Guide ever ofl'ercd to the American public. To this admirable 
 work our author has given careful study, inve-tiiration and experience, and now presents it to the 
 public as the result of a large and extended practice in New York City. From the author's preface 
 we learn : — 
 
 " This book has been prepared to meet a want that has been lon<; and widely felt— of a single; 
 wirk wliich should give a comprehensive and accurate knowledge of Medical science of the jiresent 
 day, in as much detail as can be useful to those not medically educated. I have left no stone un- 
 turned to make the work fully represent the best and mosi recent oi)inions and experiences of the 
 leading aulliorities of our day in the various departments, all of which are brought down to the 
 most recent dates. Diseases, their symptoms and treatment, and in fact nearly every department 
 of Medical science, has changed wonderfully during the past twenty year^. and Medical works and 
 •uthora that were once considered authorities are now worse than useless, tending only to mis- 
 ead with dangerous results. 
 
 "This work not only includes all that has ever been attempted in similar works, but also 
 several hundred new remedies, new system- of treatment, new diseases and new subjects in the 
 department of health that have never yet api)eared in any woik designed for the ])eople. There 
 are yet among the people those who have a blind faith in some school or exclusive system of 
 treatment ; to all such let me say that the wise physician of our time belongs to no " school," no 
 '■ ism." no " pathy," but uses for his patients all tilings which have proved to be beneficial. On 
 this principle this work is based. The best physicians of our day are not narrow or bigoted, as 
 some suppose, but are the most liberal and progressive of men. 1 hav 3 written in the work just 
 what I say every day to my patients, in my popular essays, and in my kctnres before lycenms and 
 colleges. 1 have here said just what your family physician wiiuld tell you if he had the lime and 
 occasion to explain the differ.nt diseases, their symjitoms and treatments. My aim has also been
