bles me
to
observe and note a few of
the most marked changes, viz The
city has increased sensibly in popula
tion, business, and business faculties.
The present extensive and gorgeous
saloons and refreshment rooms in con
nection with prominent hotels, in imi
tation of those of Paris and other con
tinental cities, have mostly sprung ng
within the past fifteen years. They
must be seen, to be realized, and to
compare extravagance
in
place with these, is like
a country
a
ocean. The streets arc quite as clesn
as formerly. The number of street
rail roads and horse cars,is large
ly augmented, the police is better or
ganized, and the number of unfortu
nate females seen upon the streets at
night appears to be much less than
formerly, perhaps owing chiefly to im
gars and fiag-stonc sweepers are also
less in number, and
I
think the man­
ners of hack and omnibus drivers
slightly improved so, in all those re-
beeu made in the right direction.
Hotel expenses have nearly doubled,
the side walks are swept by expen
sive and expansive crinoline, and the
number of liquor and "lager bier"
signs would not indicate
a
very rap­
id advance of temperance. The sup
porters of Gov. Seymonr—" my
friends," as he said in the riots of
1863- are alao too numerous to indi-
cate the absence of secession sympa
thy or disloyal sentiments. The Cen
tral Park—some five miles np town—
is
a
modern thing, and a most desira

adults and sick children can there
find something resembling the country
