All true. From Chicago and Cincinnati
on to Boston, the cities seem scarcely half
large enough to hold the people entering
them. The fact is. Agricuzture and Labor are
becoming mental occupa tions, and country life;
IN aointer. is vulgar noa6, so that thousands;
enriched elsewhere, are rushing to the cities
to spend tn cir money.
From the Herald.
"Last Saturday afternoon there were siS
thousand private equipages on the drive of
our beaut ful park. Our largest m antfactures
of carriages are taxed to the utmost to fill
their orders and have to refuse to take any
more work. A gentleman recently arrived
in the city found it almost impossible to
obtain room in any livery stable for hiss
horses. as all the stalls had been engaged in
advance. all the boarding houses in the
city are full. During the Crystal Palace

more room inside. The dry goods dealers
and Jewelry merchants are constantly COM

Seventeen regular places of amusement E.
are now open in this city, besides countless
concert saloons and music halls, and every
one of them is crowded nightly. Broadway
is thronged every morning with thousands
of elegantly dressed ladies and gentlemen5
whose attres rival the rainbow Ia gorgeous
hues aud the kaleidoscope in variety. Many
splendid palaces of marble and brown stone
are in process of erection upon Fifth avenue
and other magnificent thorougfares, and
those already erected are rented for snor-
nous sums per annum.' tstsC9

In 1886, it will be remembered that the
'ity of New York was in pretty much the
ame sort of a revel it is now in, under the.
paper money system of tn at era. The whols
country. too. was in an equal revel. The
and spectators in Bangor, M aine, were So
busy, that it was reported these spsculators
'aid dollar an hour for the use of posts to

umber lands or lots. In our Wall-street,
Millions were made in a week or so. Very
ew brokers were there that did not kite
heir hundreds of thousands daily. We be-
anne so rich, indeed, at last that we could
lot afford to waste time to fill the soil, to
aise corn, cabbages, &C., and, as q conse-
Iuence, this, the greatest wheat growing
ountfy in the world, began to import wheat
rom the Black Sea aud the Baltic, and even
potatoes from France and ireland. An ex-
losion, of course, took place soon afterward.
The brokers blew up sky-high. Bread riot
nsued here. Ell Harrs flour store was
acked. The people. then, after the grand
runk, sobered down into the Scripture
act again, that "a mans bread was to be-
armed by the sweat of his brow.''
