"THg LITTLE cHURoH ABOUND THE CONNER

though one OF the least pretentious ID tne
metropolis. It Is situated on Twenty-n1ntn
street between Madison and Filth avenues,
and occupies a considerable portion OF tne

angles. and possesses, when viewed together,
an English village church.lke appearance.
| There tx in front q garden, a fountain, ana
trees. aud there are garden plats and walks.
The circumstances which cluster around
the burial Of George Holland, the veteran
actor, are still fresh in the memory or our
people. and TO a large number "the little
church around the corner" Is identified with
ministerial liberality and true Christian spirit.
II has ever since been fayorite church for
actors and actresses, and Ada Harland was
not long since married by its popular pastor
rRev. Mr.. HoughtoDl within its walls.
TIE NATHAN HOUSE.
The house where the Nathan murder was
committed is being rem0deed, and Will
hereafter be used for place OF business.
After the murder no tenant could be oo-
tuined for it, so deeply effected were the New
Workers. by the mysterious affair when LOOK
Mace within its walls. 1t is within lew
steps of Broadway, and is quite valuable
property,
"TuE sExTANTs OF THE MEETING-HoUsE.
The sextous of New York are almost as
important personages asthe preachers. some
of them have immense incomes derived
from marriages and deaths. On all the FASH
ionable churches there are signs such as
"John Smith, sexton and undertaken, resi-
dence," &c. The sections will undertake
most anything, it seems, and are, no doubt,
making money by their grave calling.
WESTERN UNION BUILDING.
The new building of the Western Union
Telegraph Company on Broadway, now
approaching completion, will be the finest
b.sslness.house in the city. 1t is nine or ten
stories high, and is surmounted by tower
Of magnificent proportions. The granite
used in its construction was quarried near
Richmond, and was cut and furnished by
Crdway & Co., and is standing advertise
ment of incalculable value TO all our granite
interests.
THE STOCK EXCHANGE.
visited the Stock Exchange yesterday
while business was in progress, but there
were not great many present and there was
no very absorbing financial manGuyre on
hand. Yet the noise was terrible and the
disorder Internal. A dozen or more voices
were intermingled, and my Impractical ear
could distinguish nothing that sounded like
sense. The scene at the Richmond horse
auction on Saturdays is very much like it,
though must say far more decorous and
dgnifed. A very great number of the mem
beers on the floor were young men-a signiti-
can't fact taken in connection with the cir
cumstance that the entrance fee is 81 900.
THE NEWSPAPER OFFICES.
The finest newspaper office here now is
that of the &dGtS Zeitung, the great German
daily. The Herald and Times also have
costly offices. The Tribune is erecting a
| monster building on the corner OF Spruce
and Nassau streets. II will cost 81 200, 200,
| and will haye every convenience and COM
| fort that the Ingenuity Of man can suggest.
In prominent place will be exposed 4
statue Of its founder, the late Horace Gree.
ley-weil known to the Virginia people in
connection with certain new movement
which came to a sudden and unimely end.
A large number of the offices in the Tribune
| building have already been rented out, aud
| the contracts have been made on a gold basis,
| the DrOnrIetors having no faith III 9reenbacks.
| The Tribune has the reputation OF being
about The best organized newspaper in the
! world. and is a model for reliability, careful
editing. and Independence, yet somehow is
! not appreciated as it ought to be, and does
not begin to have the circulation Of the
! Herald or Sun. There are newspapers here
| by the score, aud weekly journals by the
! hundred. Tine best of them have 4 circu!a-
ton in Virginia, but many OF wealth and inn
Dortance are never heard Of outside of New
| York.
PAYMENTS.
New York has experimental with all sorts
| of pavements- cob Jle-stOne, block-grauite.
| asphaltum, concrete, wood, iron, DC. None
seem TO wear as well or as long as the block
granite. Asphatum does well enough where
not subjected to the rough usage Of heavy
vehicles. Wood is dead failure. On Four
teentn street they are taking up 4 wooden
pavement to be replaced by one of granite
blocks. Virginia granite ought to have a
| fine market here. 1t has been used to some
| extent for pavements, and also lin larger
| pieces) for sidewalks.
| THE THEATRES.
The Theatres are fast opening for the fall
season. At Booths Dion Boucicaults Belle
Lqmar-a ridiculous story founded on So
called war history-is having run which
| its merit does not entitle it to.
Mile Marie Aimee is leading the French
Opera Boutfe at the Lyceum. Grau is the
manager, and the play for the present is
ola Timbale D'Argent." Aimee will do
very well, and wins great applause, but fail
to observe where she is ahead of Mrs. Oates
in anything. Some fellow perfumes the the.
atre every night for the sake of advertising
his cologne. The scenery is nothing extra,
and the establishment shows very consid-
cradle amount Of tinselry, while the seats are
sold at extraordinary high prices.
