 l The democrat papers are endeavoring to make capital ny misrepresenting the speech of Secretary Boutwell,, in which he is accused of protesting against clasp ing hands across the bloody chasm. The meaning of the secretary Is fully explained in the following paragraph, which the 1 Greeley organs always suppress:-"Often enough, and too often, have we clasped hands across the chasm, the chasm made
 by injustice; and now, after eighty years of experience, are We not bold enough to speak and to accept the words of truth :? If SO, then let me say this chasm must be filled up. Produced by injustice, let it be cemented by justice, othat neither We nor our children can find line or seam to mark the ancient divisions between us."

 What Paris Is to the Frenchman, or l London to the Briton, New York is to l the American. It is not only the Metro polls, but 1t Is the chief attraction upon this continent, the great centre to which l men and women resort for both business and pleasure, and as such is a sourse of never failing interest. Of late years sev- eral attempts have been made to repro duce its varied attractions in book form.
 The most successful result of these efforts IS the book now before us. The author has had unusual facilities to see every fea- ture of the great city, and has written the 1 work with an enthusiasm which is appa- rent in every page. He has not merely produced a sensational story, but has given us a record of actual facts, of which he is personally cognizant. l The book IS as fascinating and absorb ing as a novel, and, were it not for the ev- l ldence he furnishes, we should be tempt ed to believe that he had carried us into | the realm of fiction. He tells us the his | tory of the great city which has grown to
 be the most remarkable in America, and 1 relates it's old traditions with zest and hu- nor. He introduces us to all classes of people, and initiates us to their ways and | manner of life. He brings us face to face with the great merchants and bankers, actors, editors, working women, ballet girls, thieves, gamblers, sailors, quacks, | tiremen, and a host of others. He de- | lights us with his sketches of the better and brighter side of city life, of the gen. jus, enterprise, charity and humanity of l the great city, and appAls us with his 1 thrilling accounts of the darker and more l terrible side of the life he is delineating. A truthful picture of New York life can not be otherwise than deeply interesting. his task, and we predict for his book a large sale. Itjs brim full of useful infor- nation, brilliant and facinating, and an emphatic warning against the vices of the city. It is pure and lofty in tone, and while it discusses fully many of the darker sides of city life, it does so with l deicacy and candor. An interesting fea- ture of the book is powerfully written history of the Tammany Ring frauds with | sketches of the actors therein.
 It is comprised in one large octave vol tune of $50 pages, illustrated with nearly 200 fine engravings of noted places, life and scenes in New York, and published by the National Publishing G., of Phil | adelphia.
 The low price at which the work is is- sued, brings it within the reach of all, and no one who wants to know New York as it really is, should fail to buy this book. It is published in English and German, sold by subscription only, and agents are wanted in every county.-Er. UNION DEPOT AT CANAAN.-The Housa- tonic and Conn.
