It is the shilling prome nado. Tle poor live thore; and yuu Bee the peculiar characteris tics of' poverty written in blurrod and nasty eiblelms all over the n1eighbor'hood. Starting from City Hall, within two hundred rods of 1roadway, you striko little old cloth-shops, intormlingled With cheap corner groceries and subtor ranian saloons. You are on the old colonial stage road to Boston Chatham street. Tho procession that passes you is composed of the working classes-during the day but at night, look ont fir thieves. Thore are dois notorious to the police as receptacles for stolen gqods, "cribC" where congregate the robbers of the town, and hou ses in which overy wiindow for six or soven stories upwards is a picturo of squalid half-dressed Ivomen and children. The street toYminates in an irregular open qpace, on what was 011co a liteep bill side, and is known as Chatbam 4 Ue, but a mockory, by the yvay, on . that shape, for it is any thing but square. This, is the 'beginning of the Bowery propor-tho vestibule of the social catacombs, in which lie burried all around you overy species df humanity that is ob ligod to plod for an existeneo. See it at.nigl)t. In spite of the stiout lamps there is nothing brilliant about it. The shadows seem to float out from the over Crowded tenemont houses that loom ii the darkness on either side. In the dingy beershops and dirtier collatis, lIk AbrAd df tho w!opst spo cimens of our population, uncanny forms of varied evil staring at y6u from every corner, or diving down dimly-lighted stairways to shrink from sight. Here are to be found the little street Arabs, the boys and girls propostor'ously old, who wd'il soon fill the penitentiaries; hero the onco innocent country girl wvho has dropped into the gr'ant mellst.romn, and is r'eelinig round and round in her dance to wards death-a red, bloated feur ful burlesque upon wo'man. Here is the city "rough" black and wh'ito hiding perhapsll) from julstice, or awaiting somot new Opportuni ty to go forth with brass knuckles, knuifo or burglar's "jimmy." The beau' gar'dons are also a[Ifea hire of' this locality. Stop into tihe "Atlantic," and you m-ay al most fancy yourself in the Fader land. The hall is immense, and thronged by hundreds wh'lo gaither around tile little tables where, with pipes, lager, and Rhouin wine, they whbile- away -the hours. A fine band furnishes tile music andi the science is bewildering. Fur thor on is the Bowvery Theatre the grand play house of the gamnins where the audience may eat pea nnts and shout'their criticisms at the top of.their' voices. T1he dci ties of the true blood-and-t.hundei driama preside here, and curiomu phlases of' life are visible on al sides. The worst-by far the worsi feature of this neighborhood is iti tenement houses. Or rather the3 ought to be called Seven Stor3 Coffins, for probably nowhere also ir America is there such a congrega tion of people literally packed ii dIeath-4tinted dens and (lying by inches.

I |Wi i a fgl borhood of the Cooper Instituto and Union Square. All of the "breathing spots" of the Metropolis, by the way, have now plit Oil their summer11(3 dress, and you will find no spectacle more anlimated than that, which is )reCSO1td o(n at sm11111mor ovenling, and especially Onl 81un1days by the thousands w.ho flock thither to on joyfresh air. In this connection I may remark that all of the public squares havo undergone marked improvetmeits -tihe iron railings being removed, the paths wideted and the birds encOuIRagod to build their nests. Union Square just, at the b1end of 4roadway and Porilteenth S(ree, is doestined to beo oi a beautitill 1 spot. TNwoity years a-"*o the houses around it, were tie rsi do ;s of, ie -most ari4ot oeratie ciliz(n14, aift there was anl air. of' dignified celtusion about he placeo peculiarv West Edlisli. Now%, these o( hole..z are givinlg place to iagnificent businmess Ostabiish monts, and in a little whilo you will tce an IrIay of' arebitecturlal beanily unequalleti in any city of the United States. A mnong the ancient land marks thus yielding to the mareth of progresm is the Rooseveit man sion on tH corner of 1'ourtOOnth Street and Broadway,and fronting Union Square. ''he property hasM been purchased by tihe Domestic Sewing Machilo; Company, and they are now crecting a superb edifice in the Ronaissanco style which in its elegance will over shawow every building in the neighborhood. It is but a little while since this ('ompany corm menced operations in New York boing of western orgin-but their machines have )eC(Omlo. so suddenly popular with the masses, because of their superior utility, con ven ionco and economy, that weal th and success have crowied the on terpriso, and the proprietors are enabled to vie with the older cor porations who have so long held the market. Wd have reco'ntly enjoyed a sonsation in the shape of a city tornado that uprooted trecs, Un roofed houses, and played all sorts of pranks witl) ,wipapw glass, shutters, awnings and pcrambula. Iting Dolly Vardens. Otll "otlOr "Sonsition" is' the "Stri4o." The movenont' has become compro ies,ivo and systomatie. Twenty tlhousanlds mechanics refuse to work more thai eight hours a day, and many of the employers are equally obstinato in doolin ing. to accede, to their demands. Somo terrible murders and sui cides have been committed, during tho las, week, and jticq seems to be am.ong tho things that wero. In one inst,.nceo when an irato Frenchman shot. his wife dead in the street, the PeoplO camO very near hanging him to a lamp-post, and it looks very much as if thoy wvere getting uip to that point of indlignation.which sometimes calls onl Jutdge Lynch to produhIce his rope. The weather has become excessively watrm andl there is an exod1us to wateri ng places. Time Aldine makes its usual ar tistic appearance this month. No perliodical in New York is watched by the public with more interest, or treasuredl in t.ho householdl so lou'g. .Its illustrations constitute a superb picture gallery.

Mr. Derrick Dodd writes as follows to the Washington Capital about the branch railroad botwcoi 1altilmore and the Capital: .But about this railroad. Of Courso I want it abolished, as Overy 0110 dos. The reckless ve loeity with which tho trains aro run betwoeon hero and Baltiimoro is absolutely frightful. I was do lighted years ago when this road was established because. I thought we had got rid of the old rickety and dangerously fast stage co1hes, but the spoed they aro boginiting to run tho trainls at nlow onl this road is worso yet. Now, Overy one knows that 1altinore is forty mil8es from1 Washington iW it is an inch, and three days and a halfis plenty quick enough for the trip, but the managers have already ro ducod the schedulo timo to thre (ays an'd four hours, and what with making the engino fires too hot, and racing with bo'ws along the road, and all that the con d.tors aro even cutting that time down. Why, it was only the other day on the down trip we happoned to Opy Sims' old mulo about tyo. niiles out of town. What should lho reckless wretch ofal eligineer do but clap on full steam and race every fbot of' tlhb wfty into the district ? We didn't exactly pass thd mulo, but we caught up with him twico, and camo into the de pot neck and nieck,-and which was pulling the most,. tho mulo or the engino, you couldn't have told to save your lifo. Now, it wias all very exciting, and all that,,I knlow, but I hadn't purchased an acci dent ticket, and I don't believo the other four passeng es had( ci ther. This is all wrong, Mr. Edi toir, all wrong. A nd then on another occasion, I r'omem)ber, we (came withini a hair's breadth of' having a very serious accident.. The engineer had got teni oft' to sniowball a ch3ipmiunk, and( the conductor was m indhing a young wvidow's baby for her-the result was that the train happened to got on a dlown grade andc we started ofi' at a ter'rific rate, every bit of' four miles an hour, I should thinkI. We woroe just half' a mile above the Annapolis junction, andl the fir'st thing woe knew there.be ing 110 0one to whistle and wake up the swvitch-tondor', we woroo turned off' into the Annapolis r'oad( and went (Iown the wrong tr'ack at funll speed. Imagine our con steornation whomn just at this mo ment we heard the whistle, not half a mile ahead of us, of the Annapolis up train. We were par'alyzed with terror. HLere wore two trains on the same track ap proaching each other at the dizzy speed just mentioned.

Shall the liberites of the people be mnainltainod, and the lhfe of the Republic bo saved, or shall every thing and all be swallowed up and swept ovaor by a grand controlling military despotism ?
