and gorgeous with silks. The brow of fe-
male loveliness bears new glory from the
rural sunsets of the summers vacation the
youthful bloom has been heightened by the
glow OF the Promethean sun of the mountains
and the sea shore; SO brown October rolls in
silken crowds, on the pave of Broadway, the
tempting successors of summers harvesting.
Young Broadway. (Who shall say it is not
soy The ancient street of the days of New
Amsterdam has vanished. The old thorough
fares of the Knickerbockers have departed
The Broadway of twenty-five years since has
been carted of, and we can now proclaim that
the noble avenue is finished and baptize it by
the name of Young Broadway On its broad
pave and in its stores are gathered all that is
new and freshest of the Old and New Werld,
of nature and art, of beauty, intellect and
utility, of fun, frOlic and nonsense, of virtue
and vice. 3d..
We are now at Union Square. Well,
here's that same nice, impudent young man ="
that affronted the country maiden's modesty,
by holding up his finger to her from the top of
an omnibus. Heis reckoning to us. Broad
way? right down, sir" So let us have
sixpenny worth of human panorama, under
the mellow light of this October afternoon.
Union Square is full of tidy Biddies, with
their charges, the young Goldfish sciors of the
locality. They are out to take the all. for an
hour or two, in accordance with the prescrip-
ton Of the fashionable family physician, and
Blddy is sent along to see that they don't
take any dirt along with it. The dirt might
interfere with the fashionable physicians SER
vices.
AS we pass along, we find Young Broadway
showing his progressiveness, and his roguish
proclivities, in the shape of several tall, mar
row, Haunting, snowy buildings, called "Ho-
telsIon the European PLAN" They remind us
of pretty girl in Broadway, all laces and
Hounces, genteel in appearance, but with an
uncommon queer wink in her eye Well,
may be it is all right but we somehow have
liking for the solid, old fashioned respccta-
bility of the old City Hotel, now, alas de-
parted with the rest of the Knickerbockers.
Its pretty designation, though On the
European plan!' Europe is ahead sometimes
that's So
Young Broadway is beginning to affect
" lager bier" saloons, too, nit Schweitzer
cheese" That's very good European plan,
seeing that you can't extract brick out Of
fifty glasses. The old German proverb rims
thus: =" He who drinks beer, thinks beer ="
VIC might add, He who drinks brandy, thinks
bowie-knives." Therefore beer is better than
brandy. So, here's to the "lager." The
world moves.
Now we pass the Metropolitan Theatre,
with the big transparency in front, Indicating
that they show Rachel inside. Next door is
the Stuyvesant Institute, where they show the
shells. Last week it was the scene of the DO
litical coup d'etat, when the leaders cut loose
from the primary elections and the people
1t certainly made them more respectable-bu,
the votes, gentlemen the votes! there's the
rub. 1t is all very well to give party the
impress of responsibility, but that's not the
thing at the polls, especially if it's rainy
day. The Wing party was very respectable
indeed, but it never had voters enough. The
fact is, strikers are just as necessary to sue
cess as clerks are in dry goods house. Our
L" solid men will never do the hard work
themselves, and no money, no votes" say the
strikers. It's only the inevitable result of the
great preponderance of human nature in the
masses. In consequence of this coup d'etat the
Hard Shells have split open, and the Hall
Shells are now also in the market.
The American candidates in this CITY are
troubled with woful lack of money Last
week they followed the example of the Hards,
put on look of virtuous indignation, and at
tempted the respectability dodge. They gave
notice that they would pay no money, except
for printing. Then forming themselves into a
I" mutual admiration society,"" each one wrote
the others biography. They employed their
whole limited capital in buying up column
in each of the Sunday papers, and publishing
their interesting lines. That is likely to be
the only result of the investment, but at least
the sweet remembrance of the gist, will pro-
badly remain in the minds of some unsophisti-
Gated voters, and may be useful at some future
election. They were all lovely and pleasant
in their iiues, and in death they won't be d.
vided. "
