Brooklyn, L.I., Aug. 2, 1884
From Manhattan Island on which is
New York city, there stretches East Long
Island to the Atlantic ocean, separated on
the north from the States of New `York
and Connecticut by Long Island sound,
which is the route of the Stonington,
Providence ind Boston lines of steamers.
On the west end of Long Island, and just
across the East River from New York city,
is the city of Brooklyn. The two cities
are now in such direct communication and
close connection by the various lines of
ferry steamers and the great East River
bridge that they are almost one. Still
Uwe is a greater difference than one
might suppose between them. Brooklyn
has 'not quite the volume of insane rush
and fury of business, and stock and money
excitements, and panics of a like descrip-
tion which keep its great rival in a fever
of heat and excitement theear round.
Brooklyn is called the city of churches—
it certainly bas a great many—the twe
principal ones being the large Tabernacle
—otherwise known as Talmage'a—and
Plymouth Church, controlled and presid-
ed over, if not owned, by the notoriously -
famous Henry Ward Beecher. Large au-
diences throng those celebrated churches
at every seriice. Those two widely -noted
preachers have certainly nothing in their
personal appearance to recommend them
to an indulgent and long-suffering public,
but the audacity and importance they as-
sume, and their highly sensational and
artistic style of preaching,has apparently
a great effect in drawing crowds of hear-
ers to their respective churches. Their
sermons, though, would remind many of
the question t le little daughter of a mia-
ister in Boston, put t0 her father, at a so-
cial gathering, when he was telling of some
of his summer travels. surprised his
deeply interested listeners by saying, "Pa.
is that really true, or are you only preach-
ing." 1 have not time, however, to enter
further into this subject. Your readers
can form opinions of their own on what -
t ver merits or demerits it may. possess
The Salvation Army still flourishes iu
Brooklyn—probably because there is un-
limited material for them to operate on
here and in New York. -Brooklyn may
be called their headquarters and home in
America. From here they send out their
captains, lieutenants, war cry papers and
song books. Two of their red -coated sol-
diers went to the city hall here yesterday,
and knelt on the stone pavements, praying
for the corrupt politicians of this highly -
favored city.
The Brooklyn Navy Yard is well worth
visiting. There is a museum of rare spe-
cimens and curiosities from all over the
world, and numerous relics of the wars
and naval battles of the U.S., including
inany from Mexico. Here also, are a few
specimens, carefully preserved, of thecete-
orated and peculiar r star fish of the Gulf
of Mexico—only found in the Southern
seas, Admission to the Navy yard is se-
cured by obtaining from the officers at the
main entrance an official -looking blue
card, which is handed back when the visi-
tor is leaving. Many of the ships and
gun -boats commenced and in course of
construction at the time of the civil war,
are still here, like monuments, with high
frame buildings built over them to pre-
serve them.
. The next places of general public inter-
est in Brooklyn are Prospect Park and
Gretinwood Camctery. The former is a
vary beautiful pleasure resort—in many
ways finer than the celebrated Central
Park, over the river, in New York city—
the difference being that nature was the
great designer of Prospect Park, and art
and lavish splendor is principally noticed
in Central Park. Greenwood has been so
often written about, and so widely known,
that I suppose it will only be necessary
now to say, to give an idea of its extent,
that it is claimed to be the largest modern
resting place of the "silent majority" that
there is in the world.
From Prospect Park and Greenwood
depot:, as well as from other parts.lit
Brooklyn, run rapid transit lines of rail-
way down to the sea, and to the famous
summer seaside resorts of Coney. Island.
'This little island by the sea is now known
far and wide. llouks and pamphlets with-
out number have been written about it,
but like fair Melrose and the land of etelr
nal spring, flowery Florida, it must be
seen and visited to be appreciated.
With the exception of a few days this
has been a remarkably cool summer so far,
and the large summer hotels by the sea
have not bad the usual rush of business.
A brief visit to those fashionable seaside
resorts is generally sufficient for the west-
ern visitor, for besides being able to see
everything in a shorter time than hie east-
ern neighbor apparently can, the continu-
91 expenses to be met make serious havoc
with his funds, for he finds he. -has to pay
&ilole rates for everything, except, per-
haps, a view of the ocean, ip d after taking
in all that for a few days, the traveller is
ready for the next train or boat to bear
hien on to new scenes and pleasures.

act of parliament, the %Ottawa Free Press
Bays : The government's course throughout
has been indecent—it has been hostile to the
temperance interests—it has been led by
sheriff McKindsey, E. King Dodds, John
Carling and the lessor lights of the licensed
victuallers cause—it has violated the princi-
ples of the Canada Temperance Act in more
than one particular —and it merits the con-
demnation and hostility of not merely tem-
perance advocates, but all lovers of justice
and fair play throughout the Dominion. Will
that hostility find ite natural expression at

y Governor Cleveland, who vetoed a bill
riving workmen a lien upon buildings in
course of erection, under pertain circum-
stances ; but it is not likoly that many
will change their political altegianee on
this account. The principal factorin this
contest will be the question of the tariff --
shall the protective policy, which has
been in existence for the past twenty
years, be continued or changed to a reve-
nue tariff. There are strong indications
that the latter is going to prevail, and if
it does it will be a deathblow to our N. P.
