tan~ ~une two hundred acres of land.
Situated on the north side of Staten Is
land on which there are some furtv build

pital and morglle. stable, barn. piggery
and henneIN. AS you enter the gate You

and pass into the main hail. which con-
tains a reception room, trustees room.
and Governors office. Directly in front
of this building is a plain granite shaft
erected to the memory Of the founder,
Robert Richard Randall. Esq. This build
Ing contains a dining saloon, capable of
seating 900 to a 1000 persons. At the end
of the building. and in the basement is
situated the kitchen, which is a model of
neatness and appointment. After seeing
the machinery of this one branch of the
''Harbor' one would say at once, | will
YOU view the other branches you come to
the conclusion that it is no more ieselv-
inc than the other parts which constitute
the whole, and that ali are deserving of the
best praise one can possibly give. 1t is a
perfect system, which speaks volumes for
itself Next came to the church. There is
new one in course of erection, that when
completed will be one of the finest in the
world. The music hall is also being re-
placed by Il new one-a magnificent build
ing. Then we came to the hospital, which
is a large and commodious editice. capable
of holding 100 patients. Its appointments
are perfect, and neatness is To be found
every " here in this department of the in
stitution. | next came to the matrons'
departments, Mrs. Hammonds S, who had
the kindness to show me through the linen
rooms, and who introduced NE to her as
sistants, Mrs. Hooton, Miss Taylor and
Miss Matthes. This portion of the insti-
tuition reflects great credit on these ladies.
! should particularly call my readers at
tention to this one Industrious branch of
this famous place.
My attention was next called to the barn,
which contains fifty cows. 1t was the first
time [ ever saw COWS living in a parlor. l
never have seen anything that came up to
this abode for COWS, for neatness and per-
lection Farmers keeping cows in order
to be profitable may do well to visit these
barns and take lessons in order and neat
ness. The pig pen contains $50 of fami-
ly, both big and small, that have equally as
good quarters as the COWS. The hennery
and stable both deserve mention among
