New YORK CRY, July 2nd., 1916.
Well, here we are, in the heart of the
greatest city this side of the Atlantic, which
may be compared to mammoth bee hive,
and the people to an enormous swarm of
bees. We arrived last evening at half past
nine, and put up at the Howard Hotel on
Broadway. From the window of our room
we can look out upon scene which to
citizen of Washington is truly astonishing.
! have never witnessed before anything like
it. Pennsylvania avenue is quiet street
compared to this. There is no moment
when the eye may not behold new sights,
or the ears be stunned with noise and con-
fusion. Rattle, rattle, rattle buzz, buzz,
buzz; jar, jar, jar; thump, thump, thump;
tramp, tramp, tramp! There is one inces-
SAINT and eternal upstir, which battles all de-
scriplion, and which stranger cannot con
ceive OF. can hardly see the street, for
coaches, hacks, cabs, omnibuses, carts, &C.,
&C.; nor the pavements, for the everlast~
ing and on-coming, and of-going crowds
OF people, AS to retiracy, it is out of the
question if | remain here To run away
from the din and uproar | should have to
leave the city itself.
As to news, it seems after all that your
own takes the lead. The New York pa
pers are filled with items of importance
from Washington, and these seem to be read
with more interest than any thing else.
The Temperance cause has made great
headway in this state, and though there is
still great deal of dissipation here, we be,
lieve the eyes of the people are being open
ed to the necessity of reformation which
under God is to do much for the promotion
of the welfare and happiness of our great
and growing country. have not yet Wis
tied either, the friends whose names have
on my list, or the interesting places of this
city. You will hear from me, however, fire.
quently during the few days we propose to
remain here.
Our Hotel appears to Be in high repute,
but the charges are rather too heavy. We
are willing TO give the same we paid in Bal
tmore and Philadelphia, but cannot consent
to throw money away for the sake Of board
ing awhile Oh Broadway. This we have
told the proprietor and he will probably de-
eide in our favor.

gain all the information concerning it from
books, or conversation with those who are
familiar with it; and when he arrives should
at once obtain a correct guide or directory Of
the city; il not, he may find cause to re-
gret his negleting these hints; depend upon
it, there is something more than child's play
in attempting 10 learn much Of such city in
few days without some definite plan. A
stranger, unaccustomed to large and popu-
! lous cities, would soon be lost in the streets
and alleys of such one as this; indeed
would be afraid TO venture three squares
from Broadway without some previous in
formation. By paying attention, however,
to the instructions have read and heard
concerning New York, feel now quite
free to walk about town with the double
desire to crafty curiosity, and receive use
ful lessons. Suffer me to say, too, that the
knowledge one acquires from this kind of
exercise is Of no small Importance if put
to proper use it will fit man for the better
discharge of whatever duties may devolve
upon him afterwards; because it is the
means Of acquainting him, not merely with
new places and scenes, but also with new
ideas of himself and man in general
Those who wish to. study the greatest of
all sciences-human nature-should be sure
to visit great city, and pass among its
inhabitants extensively, keeping all his
senses in active use all the time. There
are things to be learned here, which can,
perhaps, be gained under no other circum-
stances.
J have visited many of the principal pla-
ces in the city, and could write you very
long letter, but this know would not be
well, and must be dispensed with for the
present. To name the places of greatest
note may be sufficient. The Harbor, where
the vessels lie in such numbers, and SO
closely, that the masts and rigging appear
as vast forest; the Environs, in which
are some thirty settlements; the Public
Buildings, such as City Hall and Halls Of
Record and Justice, the Custom House, the
University, and Masonic Hall ; the build
ings of Religious Institutions and Benevo-
lent Societies, numbering perhaps, over
seventy; the Literary houses, and Theo-
logical, and Medical, and Mechanical, and
Mercantile, and Scientific, and | know
not how many more; and places Of Amuse-
ment; these are all worthy of note on some &C
counts. Besides, there are the Croton
Water Works, the Hotels, the Public
Schools, and-but hold on-your readers
have heard all this and much more. Be-
yond doubt New York city is well worth
visiting.
The extensive book and periodical pub
fishing establishments, have received con-
siderable share Of my attention. The Har-
pers do the great business was highly
pro6ted by walk through their building,
from the basement to the top, and have re-
served few interesting particulars of the
visit, for further use, Nothing more at
