NEW YORK, J une 25th, 1870,
'1'!!! nor marina
has hardly set in yet, and the season is do.
lightfully propitious for sight seeing in town.
Most of the visitors to the Centennial feel it
best to see something of New York as long as
they are East, and seem to find it well worth
seeing. When the not. unfrequent group of
out .of town people in severe traveling suits
comes in sight of Broadway, one is sure .to
remark under his breath “Centennial folks ;"
you can tell themasquare off. The tall in-
dividual in a gray mohair duster who is ahead
of the party, takes long "steps as if he were
used to hill and dale, while the women in the
invariable brown linen and big veils clung to
him like bees on a bough, and try to see
everything at once as he points it out. There
is a family of this sort on the forWard end of
everyboat that crosses the river from the
Jersey side where the trains come in—they
are all brown linen and satchels, and the man
stands (l'ver his valise, and as the boat swings
of, exclaims enthusiastically, as they behold
the Mecca of their pilgrimage “New York 1"
and as they gaze down toward the bay, or
up the broad North River,beautiful with sails
and vessels, men and women alive with eager-
ness, seeing the sights Of a lifetime, one
envies the freshness and expansion which
familiar sights create in the new comers.
.ooon ADVICE -ro TRAYELIRS.
It is an object to most people to spend as
little money as they can this summer, and I
proceed to give them a few hints on the
matter, which, from one who knows the city
and its facilities, will be of service to stran-
gers of the West. And the first word I have
to say is, keep out of the hotels, and don’t
hire hacks from public stands. New York
hotels are neither so clean, so comfortable,
or so reasonable in charges as Chicago houses.
A suit’of rooms, with .bath attached, which
can be had at a first-class Chicago 'hotel, like
the Grand Pacific, for six dollars a day, will
cost double here, and inferior rooms in por-
portion. The low-price hotels that advertise
rooms for a dollar a day are nasty beyond
description,usually in crowded 1:07ng Jrhoods
011? Broadway and all the sights, and not with
the best air procurable even in New York.
If you want to see the city reasonably and
comfortably, go to the hotels on the European
,plan, about Union Square, and get upper
rooms—that is. on the fifth or sixth story.
The elevators in these houses make these
rooms as easy to reach as, those on the parlor
floor, and their airiness and coolness make
, them preferred in summer by all who under-
stand hotel living. Small rooms, as comfort-
able, and even-luxurious; assay in the house,
on these floors. are a dollar and a dollar and
a half a day, Without meals. Remember, in
the city system of egg; a room is never
let for less than two _fom. hours; and is
charged for {hf “Te, whether it is occupied
for 9' “'5'“ ”Say, or a night and a day. The
ffsia‘n‘fats in all the hotels are abominable
high-priced, but ydu are not obliged to live
there. Between Fourteenth and Eighth
streets, on Broadway, there are several low-
priced restaurants where fairly-cooked food
may be had, and the genuine New Yorker
does not disdain to walk far enough for his
meals to give him an appetite for them.
As for carriages, don’t be pursuaded to
take any vehicle at the depots but the street
cars. The express companies transfer coaches
or those belonging to hotels with the name
painted on them. These will take you to the
hotels or other places, and transport your
baggage without swmdlmg. If you want a.
carriage to see the city, ask at the hotel to
have one sent from a livery stable, and make
your bargain beforehand for so much an hour,
including all the stops you want, and keep
your own time. A neat coupe holding two
persons and a child is furnished at decent
stables for $1.00 an hour for the whole party,
giving leave to stop as often as you like.
A larger carriage can be had for from $1.50
to $2.00 an hour, taking as many persons as
you like. The item of carriages to see Cen-
tral. Park enters largely into the bills of visi.
tors. Stewart's store and the Park comprise
course; but whoever expects surge trade,
is certain to be disappointed. ‘ Goods can be
bought as well 'at home. The visitor will
get an notion of style in the Eastern cities,
butgoods will be furnished by the dealers at
home, as usual.

The prettiest thing we have had in the
way of a shower for along time, was that of
the Horticultural Society lately, formed of
nursery gardeners and amateurs all over the
country. The Hippodrome, where Moody
a concert garden for summer, with the cool-
est efiect. The ends are hugll 'grottos of
artifical rock-work, with streams trikling'
over them, and ivy and ferns flourishing in
the shade. The center is 'a grass-plot, with
fountain and seats, and ever-greens in boxes
outline its oval, and screen the tables where
people listen to music over their ices and
beer. About the fountains, at the upper and
lower ends of the hall, ‘are the choicest flow-
ers and plants the best gardeners of the city
have to show. And a lovely sight it was
Not alarge show, for the Society has been
started only a 'fcw months, but a nice one.
It might be called a rose show, for the quan-
tities of roses of superb varieties on view.
One dazzling white rose, named Alice Boelc,
was the purest. and finest rose I ever saw,
and I recommend it to rose fauciers who
haven’t it already. Among the hardy roses,
the Baron de Bonstettin is the most superb
in color and shape, surpassing the favorite
Jacqueminot. The deep velvety crimson of
its outer'petals closed about a heart of fire,
while the old blossoms beside it added their
deep purple shades to the picture. There
wasashow of Azalias in all sorts of odd
colors, none of them to be preferred to the
natural pink and white, and some gorgeous
colorings in geraniums, in maroon and purple
red. The only idea of nevalty or grace' in
cut flowers was a dash of black pansis, edged
with white carnations, a vivid and lovely
contrast. The usual form of table decoration
ill great cpergnes and center pieces, is horri-
ble, and the taste is passing away for them in.
the best houses. To show best, ,floweis want
to be few, in variety and very simply put
together. The funeral pieces had one happy
desigh, a cross of darkest ivy, with a crown
or wreath of fine white rosebuds of uniform
size, woven with drooping blades 'of grass,
hung over the arms of the Cross‘ The new
Japanese pines and ' maples, from Parson’s
Nursery, at Flushing, were enough to set a
cannoisseur wild, with the beautifully cut
and painted leaves of the maples, and the
soft, fresh-like‘foliage and high varnisli of
the pines and cedars. One dwarf holly, with
ones, looked as if glass had been poured
over it, so high was the varnish of each leaf.
The prettiest thing of the whole almost,
however, was a screen of the common lyco—
podum moss that trails around the feet of
plants in every greenhouse, but which had
been lifted and trained on strings making a-
feathery, delicate veil, a charming action for
a widow.
POLITICAL.
Itis very generally conceded that Tilden
cannot be nominated at St. Louis. The old
fox has been too anxious, and the people are
shying away from him. The democracy of
New York concede the nomination to a west-
ern democrat, and I .am of the opinion that
they will be willing to concede a soft-mony
platform. Allen, of Ohio, and the Cincin-
nati Enquirer has beaten the lot. It wouldn’t
be at all singular if tiic old fog-horn of Ohio
should sweep the platter, and have the dis.
tinction 'of being beaten to death by the
Republican nominee. It looks so now.
" rim rasrnose.
The Gainsborough hats which have rather
wide brim and turn up at the side are the
becoming head pieces now in favor. The
brims are lined with shirred silk of light
blue or pink, or with black velvet, and the
turned up brim is held by plumes after the
style of portraits by the celebrated painter
after whom they are named. There is an
observable variety in veils, and it is common
to meet groups of ladies each of whom has
a difierent style of mask to hide' her pretty
face. One wears black net dotted with fine
gold beads, another prefers a piece of sky
blue crape, a third ties a scarf of silk gauze
with woven border across her face, and yet
.another ties the white blonde embroidered
with straw, which I believe is the 3351; fancy
in veils. Nobody will dare say that beauty
unadorned is “(10111913 'the most after they

_—
the sights of the city to the rustic mind, As
for shopping, the best place to get'handsoulp
silks'and laces is in the large stores, 1w, the“;
are small dealers between Eleh Str‘eet and
Fourteenth, and On Foo" J“ ‘
.... th Street it‘Lelf
from Broadway ‘ . een '
worthy 0‘ v... to Sixth Avenue, well
patronage, where the prices for
$31,181- 'goods are decidedly lower than at
, . ge stores. Indeed, one will not miss
much advantage either in quality or price
who confines shopping to these limits, all in
easy reach of the hotels on Union Square.
But don’t be cajoled by any fashion book or
newspaper pufis into exploring the regions
beyond Sixth Avenue in search of bargains.
It doesn’t :pay to rummage cheap Jew shops
for articles not worth even the low price
charged for them. Those who, wish to see
the city leisurely, I would advise not to go to
hotels at all, but try one of the various
houses which; advertise to take trancient
boarders. Several of these are found on
IafayettezPlace, the quiet, clean broad street
one block from Broadway, running from
Fourth to Eighth Streets. The Astor Libra-
ry is on this place. The Cooper Union and
Mercantile Libraries, and several large book-
stores are close by, while it is convenient to
stores and the best lines of street cars. Near-
ly every house on the street is a boarding
house, and it is not easy to go astray of find-
ing one to suit.

The tide is not setting as strongly toward
Philadelphia as it ought, or as was expected.
The fearful heat of the weather in Philadel.
phia, the counter attraction at Cincinnati,
and the rumors of extortion on the part of
those who cater to the wants of visitors, all
conspire to lessen the attendance and ensmall
the crowd. Let me say to those who are
deterred, by fear of extortion, that it is not
necessary to keep away on that account any
longer. ;The refusal of the people to be swin-
dled has brought landlords to their senses,
and rates are fair nowln Philadelphia. Then,
again, the citizens have done much to kill
out the thieves. The best people in Philas
delphia, seeing that the professional lodging-
house keepers and landlords were injuring
_ the Exposition by their “stand and deliver"
policy, threw open their houses to strangers,
at reasonable rates, and left the robbers with-
out victims. You can get good, comfortable
board from $6 to $10 per week, with good
families; and whoever pays more, does fool-
ishly, unless one cares more for style than
comfort. At that rate any one can afford to
stay in Philadelphia long enough to do the
Exposition thoroughly.
And don’t try to ,do it to quickly.‘ Take
a month, if possible, in New York and Phil-
adelphia ; and while you are here, you ought
to go to Boston. The sail from New York
to Boston, up the Sound, is worth a great
deal more than it costs,_and everyone ought
to see the metropolis of New England. A
good six weeks can be profitably put in here
on this coast this summer ; and don’t put it
off too long. In the fall, the dilatory ones'
will all be here, and‘the city will be crowed.
Come now. -
mama OF THE SHOW ON BTBINEBS.
The Philadelphia merchant expected to do
a great deal of business during the Centenial
season, but he is not doing it. The people
are there to see, not to buy. One firm made
expensive preparations for the flush trade that
was coming, and put off d1 their payments
till the Centennial should give them the
means, After the show had been in progress
three weeks, an examination showed that
their sales had been less than a half what
was usual atthst times of the year. Why
should the stranger buy? He will take home
Fran'de’s Monumental Gift.
Tnejdesign, which originated in France
Liberty to the American ~people——a design
which seemed, at first, almost too imagina-
tive and poetical ever to be realized—is al-
ready an assured fact. It has no precedent
in history. Never before has one nation un-
dertaken to place a monument upon the soil
of another, in congratulation of the letter’s
power and stability. The simplest inscribed
tablet, erected from such an impulse, would
_bea precious memorial, biit the gift will
take the form of the greatest colossal statute
the world has seen since Chares of Lindos
planted his famous Apollo by the arbor of
Rhodes. Even if it should not prove to be
apharos powerful encugh to illumine our
bay by night, as is proposed, it will look
oceanward through the Narrows by day, and
give the first welcome and the last farewell to
all going or returning vessels. ,
Bedloe’s Island has been chosen as the ap-
propriate site for this monument. The pe-
destal, the cost of erecting which it is be-
lieved the Amerian people will cheefully con-
tribute, willbe 72 feet feet in hight, and
mustbc of the most massive and durable
character. Upon this pedestal will be plac-
ed the statue, of beaten copper, 112 feet in
hight to the top of the head. The right arm,
uplifted and holding a- torch, will increase
the total height to 138 feet, or 220 feet
above the soil of the island. The estimated
cost of 'the statue alone is $129,000, gold,
two-thirds of which have already been con-
tributed in France, within six months after
opening the subscription, in spite of political
uneasiness and financial depression. The
entire success of the generous enterprise
may therefore be already assured. The
men at the head of ,it—‘Laboulaye, Oscar de
Lafayette, the Marquis de Rochambeau,
Henri Martin, De Tocqueville, and Wedding—
ton, Minister of Public Instruction—bear
some of the most honored names of France.
M. Auguste Bartholdi, the sculptor of the
great statue, is now in this country, and
hopes to have a complete cast of the torch-
bearingaarm and hand ready for the Interna-
tional xhibition by the Fourth of July.
As soon as he returns to France, the work of
casting, or rather hammering, the figure in
copper, will be commenced, and the entire
colossus will no doubt be in readiness- for its
pedestal as soon as the latter can be made
ready for it. The model is very simple and
majestic in character: the figure is fully
draped and quietly posed, only the uplifted
arm with the torch giving expression to the
cones tion of “Liberty enlightening the
War] ” It would bean ungrateful task to
criticise the desigh of a work thus inspired
and thus carried on to success ; but we are
sure that the completed gift will be as im-
posiligas the givers intend or the receivers
anticipate. . '
It now remains for the citizens of our Re-
public to build an abiding resting-place for
she soles of Liberty’s feet, when she comes
to us across the sea. New York must take
the first steps in this work, since the statue,
although ofiered to the American people, will
become a grand and cnnobiing feature of her
spacious harbor. It is not likely that the
'whole amount can be contributed until the
many distracting interests of the present sea-
son have come to an end ; but the responsive
enterprise ought by all means to be inaugu-
rated at once. Our bretheren in France have
a right to expect the most prompt and cor-
dial answer. To them, the colossus will
seem to float between heaven and earth—be-
tween plan and achievement—until some
movement here shall drive the first pile for
the basement-stones of her pedestal. Our
action in the matter will at once support and
stimulate the work in France, and hasten the
contribution of the amount still needed
“The slendercst subscriptions will be wel-
come,” says the Executive Committee in
ness to the sentiments of “France 1”
here, the reception of funds for the pedestal
should be confined to known and honorable
hands and the pie invited to contribute
aeoordinztoth means. . _

It was the second time he had accompanied
the young lady home from one of these little
social parties which are gotten 'up to bring
fond hearts 9. step nearer to each other.
When they reached the gate she asked him
if he would’t come in. He said he would,
and he followed her into the house. “It
was a calm, still night,” and the hour' was so
late that he had no fear of seeing the old
folks. Sin-ah took his hat, told him to sit
down, and she left the room to lay off her
Pthings. She was hardly gone before her
mother came in, smiled sweetly, _and drop-
ping down beside the young man she
said : ' '
“Ialways did say that if at P00? but re.
spectable young man fell in love with Sarah
he should have my consent. Some mothers
would sacrifice their daughter's happiness
for riches, but I am not of that class.”
The young man gave astart of alarm. He
didn't know whether he liked Sarah or not,
and he hadn't dreamed of such a thing as
marriage. ' p
' “ She has acknowledged to me that she
loves you,” continued the mother, “and
whatever is for her happiness is for
mine.”
The young man gave two starts of alarm
this time, and his cheeks grew pale.
“ I—_; haven't—” he stammered, when she
said:
“ Oh, never mind. I know you haven’t
much money, but of course you’ll live with
me. We’ll take in boarders, and I’ll risk but
that we’ll get along' all riglit.." ‘
It was a bad situation. He hadn’t even
looked love at Sarah, and he felt that he
ought 'to undeceive the mother.
“ I hadn’t no idea of—of—” he stammered,
when she held up her hands and said :
“ I know you hadn’t, but it’s all right.
With your wages and what the boarders
bring in we shall get along as snug as bugs in
a-rug." .
“ But, madam, but—but—”
“ All I ask is that you be good to her,”
interrupted the mother. “Sarah has a tender
heart and a loving nature, and if yen should
be cross and ugly it would break her down
within a week." '
“ Great Heavens !
'n
“ Never mind about the ,thanks," she in-
terrupted, “I‘ don’t believe in long court-
ships myself, and let me suggest an' early day
for the marriage. The 11th of September is
my‘_birthday, and it Would be nice for you to

How Mrs. McGoochen did Her
_ own work-The Savings of a
‘ week.
One morning about two weeks ago Mrs.
McGoochen beamed blandly across the break-
fast table on her husband, and informed him
that she had cohcluded to discharge the hired
girl'and do her own work.’ This announcement
startled Mr. McGoochen almost as much as if
she had declared her determination to com
mit suicide. He had long known that hired
help was a heavy drain upon his meagre
salary, but his wifehad educated him .to re-
gard is as indispensable, and he had made up
his mind to endure it forever. That 'she
should voluntarily offer to dispense with the
services of a girl was something for which he
was not prepared. Looking at her with an
expression in which hope and doubt pain-
fully mingled, he said : i
“ You—why—yon can’t do it, Eliza,”
“ Can’t d6 it, indeed! I’d like to know
what’s the reason. Lots of women in this
town do a good deal more, and think nothing
of it. Our family’s small—just you and me
and Henry Ward-and if I can’t do the work
for as three I’d better go to the hespital and
done with it.”
“ What put you into the notion i” asked
er husband, hardly yet recovered from his
surprise. 1 _
“Well, Peter,” she rcplied, speaking in a
tender, self-reproving tone, “‘1’“ tell you.
I’ve been thinking lately how hard you have
to work, and how little I have done to assist
you, in comparison with what I' might and
ought to do, and it appears to me that I
should try to reduce our expenses as much
as possible, and the best way I know of is to
do my own housework. ‘We are poor, just
making a beginning in life, and it is my duty
to help you." -
With a voice almost choked with emotion
at this unexpected evidence of his wife’s
devotion and energy, he feebly essayed to
break her resolution, saying that he did’t want
her to be a slave for him, that she was too
delicate for the task she contemplated, that
all he asked of her was continued love and
sympathy—
“ Oh, that’s all romance," interrupted Mrs.
McGoochen. “It’s high time my love and
sympathy was assuming a practical form.
I’ll discharge the girl this very day. 'But
there is one condition, Peter."
“ Name it, my noble wife.”
“That new carpet you thought we were
unable to get. Now, if I do my own work
it will save at least $100 a year, and you can
certainly afford the carpet." ' ~
“ Of course, my love, if you are satisfied
you are not undertaking more than you can
perform.” -
She was satisfied, and so it was settled.
Mack logged the carpet home at noon, and
found the girl gone. His wife was gone,
too, but she returned shortly, having only
been around telling the neighbors that she
was now doing her own work. Dinner was
.late, but then it was the first meal by W fair
fingers, and he could make allowance for the
novelty of the position in which she found
herself placed. ' .
Acting on her suggestion, Mack brought
home a new rocking chair when he came to
supper. They were saving $100 a year, and
could well afford such little things. When
his wife returned from her visit to the rest of
the neighbors, whom she had been informing
that she was now doing her own work, she
was delighted with the new chair, and de-
clared that they must have a full set of furni-
ture to match it. “You know, Peter, that I
.will more than save the cost of it in a year,
and I will feel so proud to know that my la-
bor secured it.” This was said so beseech-
ingly, and she hung so lovingly on his neck
the while, that Mack couldn’t resist the ap.
pool. The furniture was sent down the next
day.
About three days after Mrs. McGoochen
coaxed Peter into buying her a. silk dress,
and the next day she whedled him out of a set
of jewelery. It was the same old plea—she
was lightening expenses so much by doing
her own work that she felt she was entitled
to something extra. It would amount to no
more, she reasoned, than the hire, of a, girl,
and Peter could well afford to give it to
her. .
Mack began to get uneasy. Was. there,
after all, any saving in doing without a hired
girl? Wouldn't that sort of economy bank.
