benefit is all thisy When q man is
shown the site where Washington's town
mansion stood, he don't feel very rover

looks upon building which has stood

sign of this description: "John McWil-

the churchyards of Trinity and 1t. Paais
chapel, you do have occasion to feel IN
a venerable mood to look upon tombs
whose slabs show dates of deaths % far
back as 1000. This reminds us that there
is q very fine description OF these old
tombs in one of the numbers of Harper's
Magazine q have forgotten the date, but
think it was about o year ago. In Trim

Hamilton and Commodore Lawrence.
ST. Paul's chapel now standing was
erected IN l766. In the front of the
building is inserted slab of,while mar

We visited the Central Park and gazed
with wonder on its numerous charming
attractions. We took cab first and
rode around it to gain good general
idea of it. Then We went afoOt and
spent hours in its paths and avenues.
We examined infinitely Its statues and
monuments; we visited its museum and
meteorological observatory; We Chamber

highest ground where We could see the
palisades of the Hudson, high bridge,
the city reservoirs, etc., etc. We visited
| its charming villas, chalets, tunnels, the
block-h "a relic of the war of 1872,
and still We did not see much thst should
have been seen.
We have been very busy running
about while here. We have visited all
the principal buildings in the city and
ridden about like princes in the elevated
railway. We have loafed with the other
tramps in all the parks, and jostled
Wall street brokers as proudly as If we
were looking after stocks with the best
of them. We have spent much time
about that palace of post Office; also
about the court house, which has been
more elaborate in expense than anything
else, and the city hall. We have looked
upon the shipping in its magnitude; we
have attended the principal theatres i;
We have spent hours skirmlshing in that
roaring cataract of Broadway; We
have eaten our three meals q day with
great regularity, and otherwise demean-
ed ourselves appropriately as good and
well-meaning citizens of the city of Sail

made life here seem like gong barefoot.

get any "fiae cut" to SUIT him. He
thinks Of sending on to Wells or Harms

To-day is Decoration Day. Unfortu-
nately it has been raining since noon.
This morning We took our station early
at Madison Square to witness the pro-
cession which commenced marching
little past ten. 1t was composed of
tho various regiments and military or
CARNATIONS of the city, with their bands,
members of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, fifty or sixty of tho generals of
tho late war, officers and men of naval
ships anchored here, Mexican War Vet
Grams, members of the fire department
and police force, ladies with flowers and
floral decorations for the graves of the
heroes, etc., etc. Gov. Robinson and
Mayor Ely received the procession from
q stand at Madison Square, near Gen.
Worth's monument, and it was again re-
ceived at Warren street by Gems. Sher-
man, Hancock and others. Many dis
tingulshed officers and civilians were in
the procession. Tonight memorial cere-
monies will take place at Booths thea
ire. Lloyd Aspinwall is to preside;
Rev. II. w. Beecher is to mako tho
prayer; Gen. Sherman is to make an ad.
dress and Gen. Banks pronounce the Or
alton. We understand there will be
fireworks if there is no ram.
We have engaged passage in the Eth

opian after this). She belongs to the
Anchor line, and it is a fine, largo boat.
We sail next Saturday Juno 1sD at 3
o'clock, P. NJ. for Glasgow. We drop
down to the pier now and then to faith
ON the hidden mysteries of that vessel,
and cogitate over the prospect Of being
able to turn ourselves "inside out" with
grace and alacrity. All the steamers
are crowded going out. Berths are
engaged IN some cases month ahead.
Tho travel abroad is certainly immense.
The other day Culp went down to the
Office of . company in which his life is
insured,t to get . permit for travel abroad.
He had occasion to 60 away and return
in about two hours. While he was gone
five persons had applied for the same
kind Of permits. This is . simple sam
