The morning of the ''tourth" opened punctu-
ally as advertised in our columns, when we,
after taking a lCdrm breakfast, sought the cor
Der of Third and Walnut streets, to take the
car that should bear our precious freight
over the Chestnut Street Bridge, that structure
that had been run upon so much by others
that we had fears that it might possibly be
worn out before it was fnished but we were
disappointed. Taxing our position upon the
Curbstone at the startingpoint named, we had
behind us the beautiful building of the Mer-
chants Exchange, where everybody meet lex
cept merchants) to talk over bargains, and
where the "bulls" and ''bears" toss their stock
and their customers, and sometimes themselves,
and outside of which the newsboys and boot
blacks toss their pennies, and alternately, like
their older prototypes, "blacken' or polish"
others as their interest dictates. On the oppo-
site corner once stood the National Safety" !"
but the depostors one morning commenced an
attack upon the vaults of the concern winch
vaulting ambition on Gheir part necessitated
change of base on the part of the 'National,n -
and now it is gone.
Taking car 90, Chestnut and Walnut Street
Railway, we were soon under way and the first
object OF interest that greeted us on that hot
morning was gentleman with a hose and cart,

We arrived far out into the country before
our new gum elastic ticket had been exhausted,
and we are pleased to say, before our horses
were also, although they were nearer to it than

croakers and false prophets said we would not

If they would lower them they could go under

piles sunk, and the piles of stamps also sunk;
the blockheads of granite and other material
used in its construction, must remain tor the

passed the bridge, we are happy to say, in
safety, and continued on our route.
