Cabc, Junior.
The National Publishing COMPANY of
Cincinnati, have just issued one of'tle
most remarkable and attractive books Of
the day. bearing the above the title. II
Is comprised in { nc large octave volume
of 800 pages, and illustrated with near
~ 2OO fine engravihgs of noted places.
life and scenes in New York.
To Mr.. McCabe is due the credit of
having produced the most complete and
graphic account of the great city, and its
busy and varied life that it has been our
fortune to meet with. His book is brim
full of solid and useful information, and
abounds in descriptions Of the various
public buildings Of New FORK, its pal
aces, prisons, hotels, churches, stores.
hospitals, etc.
The work sets forth in glowing colsrs
the noble work for suffering humanity.
which Is going on every day in the great
city, and reveals with bold hand the
terrible crimes the dark my sterics. and
the hidden sins Of metropolitan life.-I
We are introduced into the home of the
Fifth Avenue millionaire, and carried
with equal interest to the squalid cellar
Of the Five Points beggar. We are
brought face to face with tie good and

crest. Our warmest enthusiasm and
'ur deepest contempt are ALTERNATELY
reused by the thrilling recital Of their \
leeds Of virtue and vice. The history
nd frauds Of the famous Tammsny
ting are related with great force and
andor, and this portion alone is worth
he price of the book.
In short the book is New York In min. :
lture. The author has penetrated. nm. n,
er tie protection Of the police, into the =.
arkest and most dangerous haunts of
rime In the city, and has thus been en- :
bled to obtain accurate Information on
