LONG BRANCH ON SUNDAY.


Matthew Hale Smith writes to the Boston
Journal Long Branch is fast becoming the
Baden Baden Of America. For years the
Branch was one Of the quietest places on
Sunday In all this region. 1t could only be
reached by boats, and no boats ran on the
Lords day. Jim Fisk has this memorial,
that he made Long Branch accessible on Sun
day 10 the roughs Of New York. The same
influence that depopulated Bath, as fue a
place rs Long Branch and quite Us popular;
that drove respectable families from Rocka-
way, of "Old Long Islands Sea-girt Shore

home Of gamblers, roughs, pugilists aud rows

Long Branch.
