.ho day; the first question in order is the mode
e travel. The next and always the main ques-
zion is as to The hotels We have word or two
% cav. as our title indicates for the public good
In Boston, if you are with lady, you will
,,r,ainlv choose the Repere'-the best kept ho-
,o1 in ,be world, some great travellers say; it is
,bs best we know of for neatness, quiet and
comfort.
From Boston TO New York you should take
tho Fall River line: the steamer Empire
Sgieo is, every inch, table and ALL a splendid
FIRST class hotel-Capt Brayton is every inch
s,ilor. and Chief Clerk Chase is every inch
gentleman.
If however, you choose the railroad route via
s,rinpfeld and New Haven, we commend the
g Nassasson House" kept by Mr. Chase, and the
Warmer House," by Mr.. Ripley.
In New York. if you would plunge into the
bory.burly of business life, the "Irving" or the
Astor' are famed places if you would get a.
rnonp the rstocratic--upper tendon, as Willis
calls it-you can 60 great way up town to the
clarendon" ; but If you want neat, comforta-
bic. quiet place, with good attendance and well
furnished tables-alben o'clock is rather late
ior dinner, if one !orgets luncheon" as we did
he Collamorc House." on Broadway, corner
offspring Street. IS the very spot The loca-
ton is midway between cup town" ,ci,y resi-,
dsnces and down town" the business part of
t e city, and the proprietor, G. W. Perry, is as
gentlemany host as you will meet among
thousand and his clerks seem to be " walking in
tie footsteps Of their llustrious" major-dolno.-
One Of them Briggs is so nearly vermonter
tlat we claim him.
From New York for Philadelphia you will
nse the railroad at Jersey City, if you are in a
great hurry and not afraid Of the reddest, finest,
most abundant and most pcnetrable sort Of dust
Il YOU want little more comfort, take the
steamer John Potter" at Pier No !, North Rv-
O., and to 60 to South Amboy, and thence BY
railroad to Camden, opposite Philadelphia. This
route VIII take you through some of the largest
peach orchards Of New Jersey, and by line Of
beautiful villages on the Delaware
Ia Philadelphia we have tired three hotels, so
called and found only one. That one is the
G'ard House." by Pilisbury & Bings-and
Billings Is a Nermonter, into the bargain lie
will take good care of you, wen be bound The
GrarT is large, new, and most elegantly fur.
nshed in the latest and highest modern STYLE
10 some respects 1t is more magnificent even
.hln the 4" Revere" and 1t is very well kept be-
sides In one great feature of hotel keeping it
not equal TO the Revere" although some
what approaching tive mean, in quiet, noise
l.s servants, from the kitchen to the attic. This
striking feature in great hotel we cannot so
well Asen as to compare It with the massive
powerful and beautiful steam engine in the Phil
.depha mint, which does vast, steady and val
ga5le business with as little noise as that Of
sell balanced rockng-chair in lady's parlor
If You lrik 60 south Of Philadelphia, we can't
.} much Of or for the hotels especially in hot
weather. As to the line Of travelling. take the
niroad at Philadelphia for Baltimore for speed
S NJ. FELTON,, yankee well known to some Of
or readers, is President, and we must do him
Gig Justice TO say, that he has greatly improved
ild is still improving, the road under his charge
y YOU go for comfort, take the steamer at Phil
aiepha for the Frenchtown railroad some Is
OF Is miles of railroad through Delaware viii
uae You to another steamer which will carry
you 10 Baltimore. From thence two hours Of
.ne and locomotive take you TO Washington
ali from Washington you viii come or 90 as
fist as steam can carry You, if it is as hot, dus-
g and uncomfortable as it was some three weeks
past We wonder how it Is that any member Of
Congress or public officer, condemned to Wash
agton life, can ever make mp his mind TO ask .or
reelection. To our notion, Washington life
10 ho, weather is penance fit for great sinners,
as ve fear, some Of the great men are.
