Today l thougnt WouIo JUST
take a stroll among the tanners,
whose abiding place is down in the
Swamp. There is nothing Of the
iconoclast in me. I dislike to see
the old landmarks disappear, and
even the onward march Of pub
lie improvement scarcely recon
Giles me to the change. I
would have broken Dowlng's head
with a club, as he broke the
church windows and affairs, if I
could have rescued wooden angel,
or saved a baptismal font from des,
ecration. In fact, my habitual re-
verence for ancient things was a
constant source Of annoyance to
that excellent woman, my mother,
whose savage assaults on my favo,
rite museum were frequently supple
mented by a big black strap, which
often led meto e2ecrate the memory
of the man who first invented leather.
From the block which is made
up. by the Sun Office, on the corner
Of Franklin street and Printing
House Square, and the Tribune
Office on the corner of Spruce street,
the hill runs down with sharp de-
scent to what is known as the
Swamp, where the tanners and cur
riers dwell. Why it is called so
would puzzle your modern geo.
grapher, forlong rows of substantial
brick houses line it's well-paved
streets, where less than a hundred
years ago was 8 swamp OF a mile
in circumference. And if here and
there some ancient landmark puts
forth a claim to our reverence, they
are only exceptions, which the de-
structive iconoclasts have forgotten,
in their fury to destroy.
Nearly two hundred years ago
Herminius Klock-the oldest son
of Johannes Klock, whose mill
stood on the banks Of Klock's
Pond-erected herea tannery down
in the Swamp, with little wind
mill to grind his own bark; and he
was the father of that grand old
race of tanners which has held
possession of the Swamp from that
day to this. Klock's pond reached
from little distance below the
City Hall, along the line Of Cen
ter street, taking in >goodly
portion Of Canal street. A small
stream crossed Chatham street,
at Pearl, emptying its sluggish
waters in the muddy bosom of the
swamp ;and this stream was spanned
by the Lovers Bridge, where rural
New York did much of their WOO
ing on those long summer nights
when a stroll through the green
fields of the Bovery Lane seemed
like the high Post-road to Elysium.
A stout old burgher was Herminius
Klock, combining the trade of a
butcher with that Of a tanner-no
uncommon thing in those days ;
and wonderful stories are told OF
his marvellous proHess-of his pull
ing in a refractory bull by the
horns, and of his knocking him
down with his fist. He believed
there was nothing like leather,
and always up to the DAY Of his
death went clad in a suit Of his own
tanning. Leather breeches were
the fashionable wear of the old
Dutch burghers, and stout leatherr
ierkins were not uncommon ever

It was a Boston man who went
home early in the morning, and
meeting the sad, reproachful eyes
Of his wife, apologized: "My

for this when you git shober.''

1hey say that it is very desira bic the police

the substitution of the bill which passed both

empowers the Commissioners to employ such
