are being trapsmOeri6ed into portions of the city
or into country residences, which are growing
very fast, hnd Of Increasing splendor.
South tf Philadelphia is the neck OF land, very
rich coil and where the cows get for breakfast
some particular dish fsvoring the famous butter
which the NewYorkers talk about until the sub
ject is disRustingly iaDcid. But / think if what
the cows eat were observed with the same ac-
curacy that the Chinese wasch corn by moonlight
(see that drOl book on those Internal celestals by
that clever dog. M. Hue, Jesuit, and what not)-
If the Philadelphia cows wero watched after that
fashion, what they eat would determine the spe.
cial, artistic, mouth walOppins, e1taetie smack
which that abominhble be1e, Phlsdelphia

Coft Anglais can, furnish. Ices here-water ices

One of the institutions here is the Fish Club.

bers includes names of historical eminence. This
club meets frequently, and catches and cooke it's

and death alone makes vacancy for masters

white batln their way, but they are all prepared
by the members and apprentices. Like mssobs, they
have insignia and some forms. An admission to
this club is highly priced. They own magnificent
grounds the river with old trees and other park
like attributes.
Quaker meetings may yet be seen here in all
their beautiful simplicity. Notwithstanding the
split, brethren and sstren are found who hold fast
to the faith-whO will carry out the meaning Of
Non nsJis Domino. The Quaker discipline has
many noble traits. For example, nobody knows
who is poor Or'pauperized in the congregstion-no-
body but some two Of the Visiting Elders, who
find cut the needs of the suffering and estimsble,
and then come down On the well-to-dO to afford

John Joseph Guerney, when here, was to hold
forth, one Sunday. 1t was even-wise hot. All
the sanity and sweating world was assembled to
hear him. For two mortal hours the congregation
sat mute. Breathing there was, but the lOveest
eyes flashed not. The utmost seething repose
marked the assembly. They awaited, calm as 8
heat, the moment the spirit should move Joseph.
I hey waited and waited, and waited. Joseph sat
mild as SphyD1 grand eternity loafer of

and then the meeting broke up just as if the most

was the most natural thing. Therein lay its
