Ma. HoLDEN.-Dedr Sir When last wrote you
was just starring to New ofk, and did not expect
to address you from this place so soon again, but ow
ing to the weather being oyery disagreeable during
the whole Of my stay in New ork, hasten my
return 70 this The delightful and agreeable City
perhaps in the world.
Whatever may be thought of New York by those
who reside there, and who know nothing of the
cleanliness of the streets, and the qaietude and
trement of Philadelphia City life, there can be no
just comparison drawn between them. Daring my
five years residence in your beautiful and retired lit
tie City of Oaks, never saw the streets in such
horrible muddy and filthy condition the streets
in the City of New York. Ii would be well for the
Phiade hia Correspondent of the Public Ledger,
who described so beautifully the City of Raleigh,
and his experience in passing from the Railroad De-
pot to the Hotel, TO take trip over TO New York "a
bout this tme-he might. perhaps, find material for
another letter that would be quite interesting from
the fact of its being home and more likely to
be appreciated. New York, in point of extravaganza,
outstrps any City on the continent. To give you
some idea OF what may be seen-which may not be
undressing 10 of your readers, particularly
Professors Boots and Jones in the line-1 will
give you brief outline of Phalon's Hair Dressing
Saloon in the ST. Nicholas Hotel, Broadway. 1t
is a most magnificent affair, and the splendid
establishment of it's kind in the world-irs decora-
lions and furniture upwards of SIG 900, larger
sum than was perhaps, ever expended upon any hair
dressing establishment since time began. The
Fresco w ork of the ci.ng by d. SaIDano is bril-
liant triumph of a brilliant art. One side of the
apartment is walled with $1,000 worth Of Mirrors.
The floor alone cost $ 500. The wash stand with
its statuafy, cost $500. The magnificent shaving
china. fifteen in number. cost 500 each and the sill
toilet service about $2,5OO All luxury and
fort that taste, skill, and money could crowd within
the space has been accomplished The Baths on the
lower floor, filled up at expense of $4,000,
and the finest in the City. The splendor of this
establishment cannot be described-it must be seen
