The "City of Brotherly Love," or the Quaker City, whs founded in 1682, by William Penn, hs tbe capi tal of bis province of Pennsylvania, and was with brief exception, the seat of the U 3 Government, from 1774 until 1800. Philadelphia has long been associated with the. lurg est cities of the world. It has help ed to make history. It is renowned fur its hospitality, and world fumed a a cit.v ot homes. Situated as it is, on one of the largest rivers of the state, open to deep diautrht. vessel it commands a large share of the worlds commerce. J. be manniac- taring concerns have an output equal to any city of the fcize in the world. In fact in some individual plants, such as "Tbe Baldwin Loco motive Works," and the "Cramp Ship-building Co," the contracts awarded, have been greatly in excess of their competitors, Knowing all these facts, it was with much satisfaction, that 1 found myself walking down Philadelphia's widest street, (Broad Street,) pr -pared to enjoy to the fullest all that was shown me. This street runs north aud south through the citv, and is twelve miles long, and as it contains no car lines, and is paved with asphalt, it is a favorite drive way tor automobiles ana carriages, to say nothing of the business trauic. Market street, one of the principal business thoroughfares, running east and west, crosses Broad Street at what was at one time the center of the city, and it is here that the great City Hull stands. This build ing was commenced in 1872, and there is much of the detail work to to be finished vet. It is the largest municipal building in the world, and also the lof iest, with one ex ception. The great tower is em- mounted by a bionze statue ol wm Penn, thirty-seven feet high, who with outstretched hand, seems ever pronouncing benediction on his be loved city. The entrances and hanging stair cases to this building are imposingly grand, and there is plenty of room, one would think, when one can count five hundred and twenty of them. The Snpreme Court of Pennsylvania sits in this building, as does also the city courts. The Academy of Fine Arts; the Baldwin Locomotive works (largest concern of the kind in the world); the fine High School for Boys; are to be found on Broad Street, as well as many of the city's finest club houses, notably, "Tho Union League," one of the oldest and rich est of political clubs. Directly opposite to City liall, is Wanamaker's, the store tha', is known all the world over. Strangers are welcomed here as guests, and it is one of the "sights" of the town. Ginibel Bros, . Sttawbridge & Clothier, and Lit Bros, conduct stores that are each a day's journey to go through. The League Island JSavy lard four miles south of City Hitll, on a line with Broad Street, is ownid by the Gov. and contains 923 acres. A dry dock and spacious naval and machine buildings are the features here. A pleasant trolley ride from "down-town," north and west brought us to one of the many en trances to Fairmount Park, the larg est public park in America. It contains almost 3000 acres, about 50 miles of drives, and over 100 miles of walks and bridle paths. The scenery is at times wild and romantic, as along tbe ftmoug Wissahickon Creek, and in other places the landscape gardeuer has fairly outdone himself, to present a beautiful picture. The Schuykill Kiver divides the rarlc into east and west sections, as it does also the City. The main building of tbe Ceutenpial Exposition of 1876, still stands in West Park, and is known as Memorial Hall. It contains a flue collection of paintings, and a miscellaneous collection of curiosi ties. Indeed, on this entire trip 1 have seen more museums, than 1 ever imagined existed. Horticultur al Hall nearby, is also a relic of the Centennial, and contains a wonder ful collection of plant life from ull parts of the world. I could Ml you of many other beautiful places to oe seen in mis par, ajiu uuw it is the people's pleasure ground, and recreation space, but 1 mast hurry on. Id passing 1 will mention, however, the old Win Penu House moved from the southern part of th city, where it originally stood; the Zoological Garden, tbe largest in the country, containing about 1,000 living speci men?; the beautiful monuments, and the old historic manor houses. The trolley cars brought us to the southern part of the city one more, where we visited the old Betsey Ross honse, where the first flag was made; and the Bourse, the first institution of the kind in America, a master stroke of enterprise, that brings nil tho manufacturing and shipping in terests of the city, under one roof, and oonMini a permanent museum of trade aud industry; A, snon aisunce irom we comae, standi . building which ihonld be ; dear to to every loyal citizen, North and South Eat and West Inde pendence Hall.
