In the handiest possible shape, we give you a ready 
 reference book. Put it in your vest pocket or memo- 
 randum book, and the next time you are wondering 
 where the Dock or Office of this Steamer or that 
 Railroad is, or what street that Club or Hotel is on, or 
 if there is such or such an Exchange, look in it and 
 find your answer. If you are a VISITOR, trust it, 
 rather than any New Yorker. If you are visited, buy 
 a copy and learn something about the city you live in 
 in season to reply with some degree of intelligence to 
 the certain question : What shall we go and see ?

REMEMBER. 
 
 At all times, in all places, under all circumstances, 
 MAKE NO DISPLAY OF MONEY. Civility costs 
 nothing— it is everyone's due ; accord it without re- 
 gard to occupation or dress. 
 
 Keep " your oar " out of that which does not con- 
 cern you. 
 
 Be slow to intimacy with the chance acquaintance. 
 
 Information that you may desire is better obtained 
 from policemen or uniformed employees of public 
 buildings, cars, etc., than from the passing stranger. 
 Ladies especially should note this. 
 
 BAGGAGE. 
 
 Don't be afraid to give your checks to Dodd's or 
 Westcott's Express agent, when he comes through the 
 cars. Take from him a RECEIPT or DOMESTIC 
 BILL OF LADING, stating check NUMBERS, where 
 baggage shall be delivered, charges and amount his 
 company wiil pay in case of loss.
