Broodway.

the most widely known street in New
 York. It stretches from the battery up
 several miles through the center of the
 city. It is much narrower than it's name
 indicates. The battery, where It starts
 from, is beautiful park bordering the
 Hudson river. Here In olden times cele-
 brated men, such ss Lafayette, were re-
 ceived by the city authorities as guests
 of the city. At this time the sristocracy
 lived in homes overlooking the battery, and no more beautiful view than is here presented is to be found anywhere else on
 Manhattan Island. In the distance are
 New Jersey, Staten Island and the Mar rows. And vessels of all sizes and kinds, from the small row.bost to the huge ocean steamer. are constantly passing on the river. Nothing but memorable fash
 ion could have induced the owners of those connections homes to yield them to the foreigners now occupying them.
 Jutting out into the river is Castle Gar. den, once fashionable resort, now the receptacle of emigrants as they arrive from the old world. Here Jenny Lind, the Swedish Nightingale. sang to thou sands. Here Sabbath school children used to gather every year, to enjoy them selves at their May anniversaries. Now ell of the glory is departed.
 For mile from the Battery Broadway Is crowded with shipping, insurance, bankers and brokers cffices. walk of fifteen minutes will bring us to the City Hall Park, in the lower end of which is the postoffice, and opposite, on Broad. way, is the Astor House, plain granite structure, not at ell in keeping with | modern ideas On the east side of the park is Printing House square, the homes of the great newspapers that for infrence have no equals on this continent. The Times has . building of which it may well oe proud. The Tribune Is near neighbor, and in front of it's office is a bronze statue of Horace Greeley, its founder, sitting Tn his chair, with the same benevolent smile that was 80 nat. ursl to him. A few doors above is the Sun building. The Sun is . mighty power in the newspaper world. Its keen wit and sharp thrusts are felt by many politician. Next to the Sun is the com msnding building ot the World, with it's gilded dome piercing the clouds and seen miles away. This paper has had phenomenal career. Originally started as religious daily, it has drifted into very worldly one. and IS probably the most profitable paper, with one excep- tion, in this country, ii not in the world. The Herald office has been removed some three miles up Broadway. There Mir. Bennett, its owner. purchased an entire square and has erected thereon A building exclusively for bis paper, that Is one of the most convenient and sight ly in the whole realm of newspaperdom Its presses can be seen from the street They print four pages at once and fold and turn them out ready for delivery.
 In the downtown park is the city hall, that has been there very many years It was set on fire when the city was cele brsting the laying of the first Atlantic cable and in honor of Cyrus W. Field, its projector. This man of might and of mighty will power once kept small store in Beekmsn street, and neither ne nor anyone else dreamed that he would | work such wonders.
 The region from the park to Canal street, including Broadway and the streets that cross 1t. is the center ot the wholesale dry goods business, and here are stored many millions of dollars worth | of domestic and foreign goods, waiting for revival Of business. Some large houses could wait no longer and have had to "step down and out" The retail business has gone far up town, and 6 large proportion of this is now confined to department stores, many of which sell a million of dollars worth of goods each year. These large stores are great con- vsnience to the purchaser but are death to small dealers. At these stores the en- tire outfit of home can be bought. from fse cent tin cup 10 the most elaborate and costly decorations and furniture.
