THAT GLIMPSE OF NEW YoRK.


Mr.. Editor AN account given in
your last issue (by, s. Of the city Of
New York, must make those of your
readers who have had the good for
tune to visit. that great city feel like
their recollections of it was all a dream.
History has surely been traitor to my
mind. (take s.. account as trne) for l
have been foolish enough to picture it
as the greatest city on the globe,
equaled only by one and excelled by
none; with the commercial needles
from all parts of the world pointing
to her as tho great center OF attraction;
the greatest sea port on the American
continent; her hotels daily crowded
with the nobility from all civilized
countries; one can go there and in one
day shake hands with every civilized
nation ON the globe; the finest build
ings in modern architecture can be
found on the little Island; her theatres
are conceded the finest in the known
world, and the star actors of our
mother country come over to bow to
her intelligence and refinement.
One visiting New York city would
miss the grandest sight on earth if
they did not visit her parks. Tourists
say the only place that equals them
is the Yosemite Valley. on yell
low Stone river. In point OF
wealth, the richest men in the world
(except the -Roschilds) make up part
of her inhabitants. The ablest men in
the United States are sons and foster
SONS of hers.
The foregoing is only slight Illus
tration of the magnitude and grandeur
of this little town, filed with the most
degraded class of people known to the
human family Cf you take s.. account
of it), as that is the only class he men
tions. except crank Baptist preacher
who breaches no hell, no lake of burn
ing tar, pitch or turpentine. nor no SOU
to save or anything but fine churches
fine audiences. fine clothes and plent,
of money for the preachers.
| In winding up this, l will say tina
should ever visit New York and re
turn with such an account as wa
written by S.. I would certainly cal
on some" FREE-nologist" and have hin
carefully examine my cranium and tel
me under oath if he could find brain
of any character.

SECTIONAL JEALOUSY.

fhe New York Worlds pronounc-
ell opposition to the Nicaragua canal
scheme. which was so ably heralded
to the world by the convention re-
Gently held in New Orleans, is
another cropping out OF sectional
selfishness that should be promptly
decried and frowned down.
It is but natural that the World
should favor any and every measure
that tends to the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF
the empire State and the big city
where it is published. but INDUCING
in such bitter opposition to an en-
lightened scheme for the progress
and benefit of mankind on the score
of commercial and financial jealousy
Ia incxcusable, and not in accord
with the spirit and purpose of one OF
the foremost papers published on this
continent.
New Orleans, the Crescent City OF
the South, is geographically one
thousand miles or more nearer Mica
ragua than the city of New York, and
vii! on that account become largely
a beneficiary by the canal when
completed, but surely that should be
no ground for opposition to such 9
grand enterprise which will establish
nigh water route from one end Of
the continent to the other. Any per.
son who persued the proceedings Of
the convention, aud noted the status
of the men who took prominent and
active parts in what was DONE must
have been impressed with the intelli'
gence, dignity and solidity of all the
surroundings, aud smile at the
Worlds attempt to make out that the
whole thing is nothing more nor less
than "a mere scheme
The World is powerful newspa-
per, and can be used with great
effect for good or evil as occasion
offers, but in the present instance,
its motives are too transparent to pass
nnobserved, and all its opposition tc
the Nicaragua canal will go for moth
ing, except with the few who hold the
same contracted sectional views il
common with the writer's in the New
York World.

which was power on the opposite
side from us in the last campaign:
Some months ago Mr., Heard cut
down a legal printing bill of Town
Talk from S48 90 to S28.62, and we
will always remember him for that
transaction, not specially for the
amount lost, but for his little
ness in taking from Democratic
journal that which lawfully and just
" belonged to it.

lieves in starving out Democratic

think of the .spress" until they need
it very mueh-that is, few months
before each election. The newspa-

The plant was moved here solely by
the encouragement which the u. S.

its goods are selling as cheap or cheaper
