STfKEoscopio PIcTUREs.-It is too late to praise
The steIeoecope to date upon the world Of natural
ard artistic beauties which its discovery has uufoded
END placed within the reach of everybody With this
little Instrument and it's msgc slides in hand one may
gaze upop the eternal pyramids, glazing IN the Gun
snd sand o. the desert imagine the soft breezes, and
. or sla I'll, I'D
summit of Mont Blanc, range over the Hmalayss or
the Andes, drop down upon Paris, London and New
York, and take glance at the Queen of the Pacific,
without moving from his easy chair. The great
terpeoes OF the architect aud sculptor, in fact, all
that hath form ard substance, may be brought TO
hand, and subjected to ken in all the hfulness
Of reality, by the aid of the stersoscope. But this
invention, like many Others intended to instruct and
delight, has been turned to baser The photo
graphic art so well calculated to perpetuae the beau
tiful and pure, he's been employed 10 pander TO the
grossest pa sions of mankind. And for proof of this
need not go further than to some Of the shop win
dows Broadway, where trsdesmen esteemed a.
reputable expose to the public gaze pictures whose
prurient nattlness would be shocking were they
little less disgusting Sach exhibitions remind one Of
the ragged youths who are wont to side up to
strangers and furtivey expose for sale species Of
illustrated literature interdicted by law and by public
opinion. In many of these Broadway stores although
there are honorable exceptions, of course-the pic
lures shown in the windows purity itself compared
with the glazing ndecencies which ave been and
constantly are thrust under the eyes OF gentlemen
who ask TO look over the stock. Such establishments
suppressed by the Mayor and his ada, and
their contents seized and destroyed l. immortality
tolsrabe now in Broadway than it used to be in
the Bowery?
