NEW YORK, Oct. II.
People from out Of town, east, wes
north, or south, who go to the Cen
tennial do not feel as if they had rcall,
been there, unless they also get &
glimpse OF New York. Our streets are
accordingly unusually crowed and ev
cry State in the Union has its repre-
sentatives. They come from the large
cities and towns, but they come as wei
from the far in erior. This is evidence
by seeing the old fashioned hand boz
in its calico covering, tightly grasped
by an old lady, beneath who false front
of dark brown or purplish- black hair,
straggles a few positive and MOTTO be
put down gray hairs. She hangs tight
ly ON to the arm of her "old man" with
whom she is rapidly approaching the
golden wedding time. He has on a
Centennial swallow tail with bras
buttons, and carries the well known
ugly umbrella under bis arm. They
wander through the thoroughfares
staring about them, enter the large dry
good stores, cheaper some fabrics, and
stand aghast at the price of SOME 9th
ers. They cannot understand why the
thread and hooks and eyes are not
thrown in with the new black 'alapac
ca" which is finally bought.
Among other attractions, our visi
tors also enjoy the new publication,
but they are particularly pleased with
the pamphlet issued by the
CHARTER OAK LIFE INSURANCE COM
PANY,
which contains history of the electoral
vote from the time of George Washing
in 1879 to the present date. 1t also con
tains the electoral vote Of each State for
1876, with blank space left in which the
result Of this years elections may be en-
tered. This influential companyls pros
perity may be deduced from the fact
that they started with capital Of only
100000, while their present assets
amount to S14000O00. Its general pop
ularity may also he estimated thereby.
The great Snowman will be on hand
for them next week. GilmoreIs Garden

Sunday evening concerts are again to
be essayed here. The first was given
ON the Sth inst. at Booths theatre under
the direction of the well known impress
ario Max Maretzek, in connection with
Mr.. j. c. FRYER. Admirable solisis have
been engaged, but one can hardly predi- I
cate success of such an undertaking /
from q single performance, although fif- /
teen hundred people attended the initia- /

population to whom any such entertain
