of John II. Doyle, shortly to become a

Charles C. Mott destined to be chief
Justice of the court of claims, and Geo.,
w. Niles, just sentenced to state prison
for Matchmaking by process of law an
old merchant who fell victim to the
wiles of an adventures. Passing the
Astor House, we come upon more dry
goods firms, more bookstores, and where
the Broadway bank building stands the
famous deguerrotype gallery of M. B.
Brady, who recently died from grief at
the refusal of the national government
to buy his views of the civil war.
AS we pass along we pause mo-
ment to view the park and city hall.

the little triangle closing Park Row.
Along Chambers street runs long line
of buildings used by the courts and in
the next year to be burned down and
be replaced by the white marble court
house. Between Warren and Chambers
streets A. r. Stewart still maintains
modest shop, and upstairs the swell
coiffeur Dibblee, holds court for Stew
arts shoppers, who can of him purchase
Jenny Lind bandeauX to comply with
the taste of the period, Here is that
gold mine, the Chemical bank, and next
to it the shop of Tiffany, Young & Ellis,
the nucleus OF the store on Union
square where lately the senior partner
celebrated his eight-seyenth birthday.
Upon the opposite corner, beneath a
second story, which recently witnessed
the Colt-Adams murder Rushton &
Clarke dispense drugs and soda water,
with the still well-remembered William
Hegeman as junior partner. No, 2S9 is
an office building, where John Lafarge,
| the secretive agent Of the royal Orleans
| family, has an office, and also Russ &
Reid, who are now paving Broadway
| with immense granite blocks that are
soon to give way to the smaller Belgian
| blocks. Hence old-timers now often
refer to the Russ pavement, now as OBJ
| solete as cobblestones. Further along
we read the sign of William Everdell,
without whose minute name on cards
of the period no wedding can be called
swell He is also the introducer of the
new monogram fad for seals and note
| paper. Near Duane street, not far
from the establishment of Gen, Stewart
| L. Woodford's father, is that of the
| fashionable tailor, ArnouX. Old Wood
ford and old Arnoux often meet, oblivi-
Gus of the destiny that Is to bring their
schoolboy sons into future legal part
nership after one has been a judge and
| the other a congressman. More offices,
and we read the sign William L. Rob
inson, Reporter yet newspaper
| correspondent signing himself Richie
lieu" or yet congressman audaciously
in debate twisting the tail of the Brit
ish lion. Adjacent to his is the office of
T. Thomas & Son, architects, whose
handiworl is being seen on many a
church and dwelling Of the period
Now we pause moment before the
| grounds of the New York hospital, into
which we see a poor fellow sbeing car
ried on a litter, for the day of ambu-
lances has not yet dawned We meet
now crowds of feminine shoppers in
Powered skirts and poke bonnets en-

store, next to the hospital, to buy A. IT.

rosewood club and the metal star on his
breast Here at the Leonard street cor
ner are the Carleton hotel, much favor,
ed by Englishmen, and the entrance tt
the Broadway Tabernacle, built bacl
beside St. GATHERINGS Lane. And here
is the new Broadway theater, with &
fine saloon adjacent, and one of the
bowling alleys which in 1850 abound al
over the city, for billiards are not il
vogue. Wearied with the loungins
walk, we enter Taylor's saloon, neal
Franklin street, and fortify on
strength. AS we come ont, we lool
over at the Broadway bank, as yet
modest institution, and at the furnitur,
establishment of C. A. Baudione slowl,
making the fortune that is to build TIN
new sky-scraper now on the site of tn
old Brewer house, at Broadway an,
| Twenty eighth street. And we pass tn
jewelry store of Philip Bisinger, not We
man of wealth and an able commits
stoner of immigration.
AT a little tWo-stOry house we rea,
the sign of Harvey Burdell, Dentist
He has yet to break up housekeeping
and by boarding with the widow Gun
ningham become the victim of murde
seven years later. Toward Wake
street we are invited to stop and take
bath from Stopassi, who has already
when in Chambers street, bathed tw
Kniclterbocker generations. We pas
the Florence hotel and note a few sport
ing men coming out, for in it the play
ing of poker is winked by the Matse1
police, as is policy-playing at the SC
called exchange office of John NJ. Seco
, at Lispenard street. We cross Cana
street, and looking eastward see that
now ends at Center street, where tn
great organ factory of Henry Erbe
alderman and father of a future ad

fand business accommodations. w
