Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM "DOWN EAST." Boston, Mass., November 9, 1872. The hoary frosts and bracing winds that ushered in the last month of autumn are tokens and sigus that grim Winter is on his annual march, and will soon be herein all the grandeur of the Ice king, forcibly reminding negligent housekeepers that a few tons of coal will soon be quite an acquisition to small tea parties, and to the impecunious Bohemian that iinen coats and straw hats are not exactly the stvle of dress that will be adoDted bv their / " " ^ I V more fortunate fellow-beings during the "cold snaps" that usually follow the departing days of November. THE BUSINESS WARDS. Having "gone through" quite a number of public buildings in former jottings from the "Hub," I will take a look at those portions of the city where millions change hands daily. In the neighborhood of Fanueil Hall are the large establishments for the sale of household stores and furnishing goods of every description. In State, Devonshire and Congress streets, are the licensed thieves and legalized gamblers?bankers and brokers?who are daily causing such untold misery to the working classes of the country by their reckless speculations in gold, stocks and greenbacks. These thoroughfares are confined mostly to speculation, with an occasional newspaper office sandwiched between. Pearl street is the cenr tre of the greatest boot and shoe trade in the i world, and with the exception of a restaurant \ for the boot and shoe dealers, a newspaper, (The Shoe and Leather Reporter) devoted to the leather interest, aud other establishments intimately connected with this branch of business, there are no buildings on the street not occupied by merchants in that line. There is no part of the city in which a few hours can be more profitably and pleasantly passed by the sight-seer, than down among the shoe men in Pearl street. The manufacture of boots and shoes for the wholesale trade is done en tirely by machinery, run by steam, and the "old fogy" process of making boots and shoes by hand has been almost entirely abandoned. Notwithstanding this fact, strange as it may appear, boots and shoes sell for more money now than they did three years ago. This is accounted for by the fact that material, rents and wages are higher than when the work was accomplished by nand. On Summer, Chauncey, Franklin, and other streets in the immediate neighborhood are the great establishments that make Boston the leading emporium in the United States for dry goods. Clustered within this district are the great houses that give to Boston preeminence as the excelsior wool market of America. Washington, Winter, Court, Tremont and Hanover streets are the principal headquarters of the retail trade, wnere can be procured all the necessaries and luxuries of life, from a paper of pins ^ to the complete furnishing of a residence, and in quantities and qualities to suit customers. By day and by night the latter named streets are thronged with a compact mass of moving j humanity, and "old fogies" and "country j cousins," with more curiosity than discretion, have a "hard row to hoe" to keep from being run over and trampled under foot. THE SUBURBS. There is probably no other city in the world that boasts finer suburbs than Boston has. They are unrivaled in extent and beauty. Picturesque hills, separated by beautiful winding rivers, make a varied picture of charming landscape, while art has added much to the beauties which nature has so lavishly bestowed. Large cities and a score of flourishing towns are commingled pleasantly with city and country, all bearing internal and external evidences of thrift and prosperity. Excellent roads, neat fences and hedges, beautiful gardens and orchards, tastefully constructed and clean painted houses meet the view on every side. Get into one of the numerous horse-cars running through Scollay's Square, and if the epizootic is on the decrease, ana^he poor horses so terribly afflicted with the distemper are able to work, we will ride over to the * ' CITY OF CHARLESTOWN, Which is separated from Boston by the Charles River. The first most noticeable object that greets the vision is Bunker Hill monument, erected in that city to commemorate the great battle, which is said to have taken place upon the ground where the monument now stands. In this city, there also, is the United States navy-yard, established by the government in - * * r\r\s\ t 1.1* -? OA/I mi the year louu, ana corapietea in iouo. ine dry dock is a magnificent and most substantial work of granite masonry, 341 feet long, 80 feet wide and 30 feet deep. The granite rope walk is also a very fine structure, and about a quarter of a mile in length. Several of the largest vessels of the old navy were built at this yard, but the work is now chiefly confined to repairing and refitting old vessels, and there is little of the activity of former years. Leaving Charlestown we pass into CAMBRIDGE, The site of the most famous as well as the oldest university (Harvard College) in the country, its only rival being Yale, at New Haven, Connecticut. Connected with Harvard are scjiools of law, dentistry, medicine, science, theology, and mining and agriculture; each endowed with its own funds, and each independent of the others, except in their general management. The college yard contains about twenty-two acres, and nearly the entire space is occupied by buildings required for an institution of such magnitude. Cambridge is noted as being the first place in America where a printing press was set up, and the first thing printed on it, so tradition informs U3, v/as the "Freeman's Oath," followed soon after by an almanac and the Psalms "newly turned into metre." Cambridge has also, at the present time, some of the most completely furnished and largest printing establishments in the United States, prominent among which is the "University Press" concern. This is mnof noloki?ntor\ nrinfinnr no in tho nnnn- i II11W IUUCIV VVlVUIMtVU VU4VV ?M WUV VVM4* , try, especially in reference to the artistic finish of its book work. The greater part of the works printed for Boston publishers, and a large portion of those purporting to be issued in New York, are made at this establishment. A short distance from the college stands the FAMOUS ELM TREE, Under which it is said Washington took command of the Continental Army on the 3d of July, 1775. Around this ancient tree is a neat fence, and an inscription commemorates the event. Just beyond the old elm tree stands the house used by the patriot General as his headquarters until the evacuation of Boston by the English in 1776. The house stands upon a large lot a short distance from the street, surrounded by lovely trees and shrubbery, and is still an elegant residence in external appearance. The present occupant and proprietor of this property is H. W. Longit. i LUC CUJ1UCUL puet. MOUNT AUBURN CEMETERY, Situated partially in Cambridge, has many costly and elegant monuments, some of which have been erected by public subscription, but many more by the surviving relatives and friends of those that sleep there. The granite entrance gate is a magnificent piece of work, from an Egyptian model, and is said to have cost about ten thousand dollars. There is also a beautiful chapel in the Cemetery, used for funeral services, that cost twenty-five thousand dollars. THE BOSTON WATER WOISKS. Among the many places of interest in and around Boston, there are few, probably, that attract more attention from citizens and strangers than Chestnut Hill Reservoir, which is situated in Newton, some five miles from the City Hall. The old reservoir, or the first constructed for the supply of pure water for the use of the city, in the edge of Brookline and adjoining Newton (both suburbs of Boston,) was inadequate to the necessary supply, and hence the construction of another, connected, or rather divided from the first by means of a water-tight dam. These reservoirs cover an area of about one hundred and twenfive acres, and are supplied with water from Lake Cochituate. The reservoirs, when full, J i contain about eight hundred million gallons j of water?sufficient to supply the city for ' about two weeks. The water is conducted in j iron pipes, ten inches in diameter, into the I city, aud by means of smaller pipes connected with the principal "mains," distributed to all j parts of Boston and environs. The CHESTNUT HILL RESERVOIR Is of great practical use, not only as a means ! nf snnnlvincr water, but as a Dlace of public I | ??rrv-o * * resort. A magnificent road, or drive-way, varying from sixty to eight feet in width, surrounds the centre, work, and is one of the greatest attractions in the vicinity of Boston? in fact, the most popular drive anywhere around city. In some parts the road runs along close to the embankment, which forms the outer rim of the reservoir, separated from it by a beautiful graveled walk, with sodding on either side. At other places it leaves the embankment and rises to a higher level, affording an excellent view of the entire reservoir. The neighboring scenery is varied and pretty, which, without the additional attraction of this charming sheet of water, the graceful curvatures of the road, and the bright springlike appearance of the green sward, would of itself make this a delightful region for a pleasure drive. Not far from the reservoir is JAMAICA POND, At one time used for supplying water to the city, but long since abandoned for that purpose, owing to an insufficiency of the supply. Beautiful residences line its banks, ana the drive around it is very pleasant, and one of the many which make the suburbs of Boston so attractive. In summer much pleasure is I derived from sailing and rowing on its surface, and in winter it is a great resort for old and young for skating; but the most practical use to which it is now put, is to furnish ice, which is cut and stored in the large houses on its banks, for summer consumption. THE EPIZOOTIC, Or equine malady, about which I devoted a large space in my last letters, is thought to have arrived at a crisis. The reports of convalescence of the deceased horses from all quarters is quite encouraging. The newspapers have teemed with it, and merchants and transporters have teamed with mules, oxen and human bipeds to the no small detriment of business. Although the sight of a team of horses in our street is a rarity, the general impression prevails that the disease is on the I wane. THE ELECTION In this city passed off very quietly, there being little or no excitement. The general result has proved conclusively that we are to bear the burden of four years more of ROBBERY AND VILLAINY, Which will be inseparable from enormous taxes, high protective duties, gold speculations, an inflated paper currency, and military misrule at the South. The State of Massachusetts, as well as the whole of New England, has voted the Kadical ticket by overwhelming majorities. GENERAL BANKS, With all his personal popularity, has been defeated by over 4000 votes, which is a matter of much surprise both to friends and foes. Washburn, the Radical candidate for Governor, is reelected by a majority of 74,000, over Bird, Liberal Republican. BRUTE BUTLER, The imaculate silverware dealer and amateur jeweler, late of New Orleans, has been reelected to Congress from the sixth district by a majority of 6,076. THE DEFEAT OF GREELEY Is attributed to the lukewarmness of the Democratic party, by their neglecting to vote, and the reported majority of 40,000 for Grant in New York State seems to be good evidence that the Empire Democracy had little faith in the Sage of Chappaqua. I am glad the contest is ended ; but I regret that Andy Johnson did not defeat Maynard in Tennessee and thereby have an opportunity to "go for" Ben. Butler. REPUBLICAN CONSISTENCY. According to recent amendments to the Constitution of the United States, every male citizen, twenty-one years old is entitled to a vote. Massachusetts, as shown by the number of votes cast on the 5th for Grant and Wilson, is the "banner" Republican State of the Union. By a vote of her Legislature, composed of Republicans, the amendment referred to was ratified. ATI the rights of citizenship, including the right to vote, was conferred upon the ignorant, uneducated negroes of the South, which, in the course of human events is eminently "right and proper"?I suppose; but these just, loyal and liberty loving Republican freedom-shriekers, with their usual disinterested magnanimity and unbounded love (?) for the Constitution of the United States, while seeing the "moat" in other peoples' eyes forget the "beam" in their own, by denying the privilege of a vote to the unfortunate citizen whose "early education has been neglected." By a law of this State all persons unable to read and write are disfranchised. Several persons were arrested in this city on the 5th charged with "fraudulent voting," the fact of their not being able to read and write constituting the fraud. According to a Radical interpretation of the Constitution,it is right and proper for an uneducated "citizen" to vote in South Carolina, but a "fraud" upon the rights of the virtuous, moral and liberty loving descendants of the Puritans. "Consistency thou art a jewel"?in the crown of Radical politicianism. Hunkidori.

A Delightful Surprise.?Ladies whose faces are clouded by superficial discolorations, and who have resolved to try Hagan's Magnolia Balm as a remedy, have no idea of the welcome surprise they will receive from their mirrors after a few applications of that healthful purifier of the complexion. If at all excitable, they will scream with rapture on beholding the change; whether the blemish it is desired to remove be sallowness, blotches, pimples, freckles, roughness, or an unnatural pallor, it is bound to disappear under the tonic I operation of this wonderful ageut. To say I that the blemish disappears, does not, howev Special itoiitcs. Building Interests.
