most said numberless places of
interest withwhich the Metropo-
lis abounds. To do so would fill a
volume as large as "Webster's
unabridged" We shall then
cenfne our attention to a few
of the more notable curiosities
and without any further preface
plunge Immediately IN mediGS
res.
It's SITUATION.
New York, as most of my
readers are doubtless aware, is
situated on Manhattan Island,
said island being surrounded on
the North, East and West by
the two branches of the Hud-
son river, known respectively as
the North and East riRers, and
on the South by theSRdantic
Ocean. 1t is about Thirteen
miles in length and from one to
three in width and was original
ly the most unprepossessing
site for city imaginable, being
literally covered with huge
boulders oflimestonerock, which
reared their heads heavenward
and seemed to defy the power
of man to remove them. But
they are now among the ''things
that were and are not" save a
few gigantic masses left iniCen-
trail Park as mementoes of the
past. On the west, across the
North river lies Jersey city with
over 100000 inhabitants and
Hoboken with something over
10000. Across the East river,
directly east of the city, is the
beautiful town of Brooklyn,
"the city of churches" with the
tall spires of over 500 religious
edifices glitteringlike FURNISHED
gold in the bright sunbeams,
and affording place of wor-
ship to more than 100000 resi-
dents. Towards the south are
State and Coney islands, the
summer retreat Of those who
haven't the money to go to Sar-
atoga or Long Branch.
THE HOTELS.
On coming to New York the
stranger can pick his choice out
of about 200 frst-class hotels
and an unknown number Of in
ferior ones with which at pres
lent, we have nothing to do. The
Fifth Avenue is the great resort
of the cod fish aristocracy-the
Astor House Of business men
the St.Nicholas of the antedilu-
vians, the Brevoort and Claren-
don of foreigners, especially
the English, the Grand Central
Of those economically inclined
the New York, generally, of
ISoutherners and the Metropoli-
tan of those fond of theatres
and 'sich" like. There are
plenty of other frst-class hous-
les with just as striking charac-
Iteristics, but to mention them
all would take both too much
time and space. You can see
at once, however, that plenty
of places can be found where
the Sinner man" can be attend

THE PARK.

In the way of ''breathing pla-
ces" New York has a goodly
number, but | must confne my
attention to the Central" as it
is par excellence THE PARK Ofthe
city and of the country. Scarce
ly 20 years have elapsed since
New Workers took hold of the
idea to make a resort on Manhat-
tan Island which should be at
the same time the most beauti-
full and expensive Of the kind
in creation, and for this purpose
they selected 900 acres of land
near the northern part of the
island and began operations
Stupendous crags and marshy
swamps made up the tout e'aSem-
bic Of the place, but nothing
daunted they set to work filling
up here and cutting down there
until behold the result! Be
meath the outrageous shade of
the beautiful trees, reclining up
on rustic seats and listening to
the eolian music as it plays its
sweetest harmonies through the
branches, or floating upon the
beautiful lake upon whose pla-
cid bosom the moonbeams fall
in silent yet lovely majesty, the
lover pours in impassioned tones
words of love into the ear of
his mistress. But tits not to
lovers alone that Central Park
is attractive; the lover of ma
lures beauty need but climb
to the top of the observatory
and look with enraptured gaze
upon the panoramic scene be-
fore him. In the distance lies
the city, and the dull roar of its

the hair where the fOllicles are de-
stroysd, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it viii keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning grey or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The

scalp arrests and prevents the forma-

clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which mako
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.

not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
