APATIUOTiriTORLMAGE PEL.IOS OF 1773 IN ANO ABOUT NEW YORK CITY. yraunces’ Tavern und Washington’s Various Headquarters in Their Modern Aspect—A Last Look at Alexander Hamilton’s Country Seat —The Block House and Earthworks in Central Park -The Battle of Long Island and the Suydam House. [Copyrighted 1887 1 New York, Oct. 39.—King George rubbed out some of the marks that the Dutch left on New York. The revolutionary fathers rubbed out what they could of the Colonial marks, and we are doing our l>est to rub out ail the revolutionary traces left. Pearl street, opposite Cedar street, New York, is a gloomy and unprepossessing lo cality. Dusty warehouses rise on either side of the narrow thoroughfare and the elevated trains rattle by overhead It was here that Washington made his headquar ters in the early days of the revolution, but of the house from which the Liberty Boys escorted him on horseback to listen to the reading of the Declaration of Independence on the Commons (now the City Hall square) not a trace is left. The Washington House, at the foot of Broadway, where Gen. Put nam was quartered before hostilities began, which Howe and Clinton occupied while New York was in the hands of the British, and from which Andre set out on his fatal West Point mission, has been torn down within five years to make room for Cyrus Field's big bui ding. Burns’ coffee house, a few doors above, the well-known rendezvous of the Sons of Liberty, where the first non importation agreement was signed the night 1 ietore the execution of the Stamp Act, and tiie house in which Arnold lived after the discovery of his treason, and from whose garden stretching down to the river it was proposed to abduct the traitor and carry him off to American lines in the Jer seys, is go:> > ■JVs'i and a high board fence shuts out the from view. The spot on which stood thr, Presidential mansion in Cherry street, where Washington held his Tuesday levees during the first session of Congress under the constitution, and where New York dames flocked on Friday even ings to Martha Washington’s simple but severely dignified receptions, is covered by the bridge approach. The Walton House in Pearl street, built by a son-in-law of Gov. De Lancy in the middle of the seventeenth century was the palace of the early city, quoted in England as a proof of the marl extravagance of the Colonists. It witnessed the marriage of Citizen Genet, Minister of France, to George Clinton’s daughter at the end of the eighteenth century declined into an emigrant boarding house in the nine teenth century, and was finally, despite the protest of the pulled down a few years ago. The old Bridewell was demol ished fifty years ago and its stones used to build the Tombs. New York is not a city of monuments. It has a history more adventurous than that of any other American town but circum stances have not favored ttie preservation of its memorials. The fires of 1776 and 1778 swept away many of the relics of the old regime, while the fire of 1835 carried off much that was historically interesting as belonging to the revolutionary epoch. Add to these causes the practical business spirit that looks always to the present and the fu ture, but never to the past, and the enor mous real estate rise that has rebuilt the lower and older parts of the city over and over again at pretty regular intervals, and the wonder is not at the dearth of historical buildings but at the number of those yet standing. in jeppPy’ THE SUYDAM HOUSE. Of the old Dutch city as it stood under its doughty Governors prior to 1664 not a build ing is left I can point you out the tomb of I ’eter Stuyvesant, to be sure, but that really lielohgs to the days wheu “we lived under the King,” for the sturdy veteran loved the city too well to leave it when his power left him, and remained a quiet subject of the English till he died on his own farm and was buried in the family vault In the walls of a church which he had built at his own ex pense. That church is long since gone, but on the spot which it occupied, on ground once a part of the Stuyvesant bouwerie, stands the church of St. Mark, fronting Stuyvesant place, near Thirteenth street, into whose east wall is built the original tablet, on which one may still decipher the inscription: In this vault lies burled Petrus Stuyvesant, fate Captain General and Commander-in-chief of Amsterdam, in New Netherlaud, now called New York, ind the Dutch West India Islands. Died in August, 1688. Aged ty. Years, f It is more than 200 fetirs sinbe tne brave old Director died and the landmarks of the Knickerbockers have one by one crumbled into dust. There are fine specimens of Dutch architecture about the city, and espe cially on Long Island, still; but the quaint, low browed mansions in Flatbush and scat tered on the outskirts of Brooklyn antedate the revolution but little. The Suydam house on Evergreen avenue, Brooklyn, has Ixsen carefully maintained in its original shape, and its door posts show bullet holes from the guns of British troopers. BLOCK HOUSE IN CENTRAL PARK. Mementoes of revolutionary days are more abundant than those of the iwriod preceding it. One relic of the early city is never likely to be swept away, the Bowling Green. It was on this open space on the land side of the forts at tho Battery that the hog fair was held in the days of the Dutch Governor Kieft. It was lien- that the Long Island and Jersey Indians srnokcVt the peace pipe and ratified tho treaty that dosed the bloody redskin war in the days of the same Director. It was this ground that the corporation leased at a rent of one bar leycorn a year for a bowling green in the early part of the eighteenth century. It was here that the Liberty Boys burned < ’adwallader Golden, the British Lieutenant Governor, Jin effigy, when the Stamp Act Was passed. It was here that they erected a leaden statue of George 111. ingratitude for its repeal, and here again that they pulled it down when independence was de clared. That statue, by the way, had a curious history. It was posted off to Con necticut, where it made, under Gov. Wol cott's directions, bullets that did fine service tluring Tryon’s invasion of that State. The saddle cloth, dug out of a marsh, was brought back to the city yoais after, where it lay alongside a mutilated statue of Pitt, aulled down by the British in revenge for le demolition of King George, outside the . useiiin Hotel in West Broaawav. till that was pulled down a few years ago. It was on the Bowling Green again that Jay’s un popular treaty with England was burned to the sound of the Carmagnole and under the French flag in 1795, mid it is round the Bow ling Green that Jacob Sharp’s Broad way horsocars swing os the most convenient turning point of their trip. Of the fortifications of New York at the outbreak of the revolution some little trace is left. Fort Washington, tho companion of Fort Lee, on the Jersey shore, can still be faintly outlined on the point of Jeffries Hook, two miles or more beyond Spuyten Duy vil and the best place for earthworks, as the military genius of last century’s sol diers saw, on the Hudson below West Point, It is something of a picnic resort now and ought to be a public park like Riverside. In the Central Purk, near the upper end and out of the way of a majority of pleasure seekers, is a small brick block house with loopholes for guns. It is overrun with woodbine and about as effective for service in modern warfare as the earthworks in the park at no great distanee from it where a couple of small and very rusty cannon lie. This upper part of Manhattan Island was fortified by the American soldiery and af terward held by tho British troops when Howe lay at Bloomingdale and Washington at Kingsbridce with Harlem Plains between after the battle of Long Island but before Washington's final evacuation of the island. Three or four other forts were left until the boulevard along Morningside Park was built, two or three years ago, but few, probably none of them, were in their origi nal condition, the whole chain of defence having been rebuilt in the war of 1813. EARTHWORKS IN THE PARK. The battle of Long Island still has its relics on the Brooklyn side of the bridge. “Battle Pass” is pointed out to every visitor to Prospect Park. It is a year or so only since an old English fireboard, cast in Ox ford and bearing the royal arms, with the date 1754, was dug out of the ground in Flatbush and helped fix the position of a house known to have been burned by the English troops. Bullets and small English coins are turned up by Flatbush farmers to this day. nie shore road from Bay Ridge to Fort Hamilton, along which Clinton sent Gen. Grant to divert the attention of Put nam from the main attack of the enemy, winds, as it did then up hill and down, over looking the Narrows, with a constant pro cession of New York’s commerce steaming in and out, as beautiful a walk as there is about the city. The road through the pass from Jamaica, by which Clinton turned the American lines, has not varied since, and the old road house where tradition has it his men stopped to drink, stands now under the shadow of the Brooklyn Elevated railroad on upper Broadway, in the Twenty-sixth ward. It has not gone out of its old busi ness of dispensing fluid refreshment, and as the Hunter’s Home finds soft wooden couches for occasional weary hunters on the settees before its door. THE SHORE ROAD. The old Sugar House in Liberty street, built by Leislw in 1089, which was once the most notorious British prison in New York, was pulled down in 1840. Rhinelander's sugar house, employed for the same pur pose, is gone also, but all the sugar houses in the city were filled with prisoners to a greater or less extent, and it may be that one of them at least is standing. Tradition maintains that a gloomy brick building in Duane street, just off William, is one of the sugar house prisons, and it looks old enough, thick-walled enough and forbidding enough for tradition to be right. It has been painted a garish yellow of late and is covered with tho announcements of a sign-painting firm that does business within. It would not be difficult to apply to it the descriptions given of those post houses where one writer says, “In the suffocating heat of summer I saw every narrow aperture of those walls filled with human heads, face above face, seeking a portion of the external air.” THE SUGAR HOUSE. The most interesting relic of old New York, perhaps, is Black Sam’s or Frauuoes' Tavern, on the corner of Pearl and Broad streets. It was here that Washington was lodged after the evacuation by the British, and here that his memorable farewell to his officers was spoken. The building is a plain brick structure, five stories high, though it is not improbable that the two upper stories have been added since the present century came in, the great thickness of the honest old walls making such an addition easily possible. The house was built about 1730 by the De Lauey family, and Samuel Frauncos opened it in 17112 as an inn. It was the Saturday night rendezvous of a gathering of choice spirits, who called them selves the Social Club, and remained open throughout the war, Block Sam, though known to be on the liberty side, being a favorite of the Tories as well. It is now kept by one Jacob Etzell, who is very proud of the history of the old place and looks with scorn on the claims of spurious Wash ington’s headquarters elsewhere The dining room where the last toast was drank and the last handclasp given before Washington took boat at Whitehall to lay down his commis sion before Congress, is on the second floor; a low-ceiled room with deep window seats that would put a modern builder’s flimsy walls to shame. A portrait of Washington hangs in it and long tables are ranged up and down its length. Trinity is often spoken of as if it were an old church, and indeed its site has been oc cupied since 139(5, arnj, its graveyard—-the one quiet place on busy Broadway—open since 1703. But the building has beori en larged twice, burned, rebuilt, pulled down and again rebuilt In that time, the present beautiful Gothic structure dating from 1846 only. Much older in reality is St. Paul’s, no great distance above it, built in 1766. The finest Sir Christopher Wren model in this country they used to call it. It was meant to front on Church street, and the old steeple stands on that side, but Broad way grew in importance so rapidly that it hail au incongruous Greek portico added THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, OCTORF.R 30, 1887. afterward and in n different architectural period giving the present front on Broad way. Congress erected a mural tomb to Montgomery, t Ire hero of Quebec, in Us front wall in 17*0, and his remains were in terred under it in 1818. Washington used to attend Bt. Paul’s and his pew is still pointed out. The Methodist church in John street lias the Wesley pulpit and is cher ished as ttie cradle of the sect in this coun try, but it is not an old-time building, the original structure put up in lTGii having been replaced by a Second on the same site. Perhaps the finest specimen of dwelling house architecture of the last century about the city is the Jumel house, which nas one of the finest situations on Manhattan Island as well. Just below High Bridge and over looking the Harlem, on some of the highest ground about New York stands the stately old mansion house, big and roomy, square, with a somewhat unusual octagon attach ment for dining room or library, according to the inmates’ taste, on one side. Its grounds slope away from it on all sides and the hollyhock trees ami box hedges indicate a growth of many years. The bouse has bricks from Holland in its fire-places, furni ture from French palaces and a stirring his tory. It was built by Itogen JJorris before the revolution. Morris wua-ac Tory and Congress confiscated the pro|>erty. The heirs tried to recover about ,18110, and John Jacob Astor by buying in their claims made half a million and gathered the nucleus of the great Astor estate. Washington occu pied it for some weeks after his forced with drawal from New York in 1770 and planned battles in its library. Not one house in dozens that is t wenty years old looks as sub stantial, as comfortable, as dignified and self-respecting as this fine old house now well started in its second century. Morris’ wife was the beautiful Mary Phiflipse whom Washington in his young days wooed in vain, and Mine. Jumel who afterwards owned the place was Aaron Burr’s wife though they soon separated. DINING ROOM IN FRAUNCES’ GARDEN. Alexander Hamilton, who is buried in Trinity churchyard, used to live on what is now Tenth avenue, at about One Hundred and Forty-tbird street. The estate, which is being cut up into building lots this sum mer, is stilt called by the name he gave it, Hamilton Grange. The Hamilton house is still standing, though its days are appar ently numbered. When I visited it last week block houses were going up rapidly on two sides of it on land forming a part of the Hamilton tract, cellars wero being dug on the third side and I heard blasting on the fourth. One Hundred and Forty-third street when cut through, as it will be at no distant date, will destroy a fine old chestnut, one of the most magnificent trees to be found anywhere, and will barely escape the house if it does not pass clean through it. It is hard to look forward to the prospective destruc tion of the Hamilton bouse which, though a modest, two-story structure, a relic of genuine Republican simplicity, is yet a good specimen of Colonial classic architecture, in excellent taste, with interior fittings that were brought from England. The locks upon the doors are a curious feature, some of them requiring two turns of a ponderous key to throw the holt. The grounds remain much as originally laid out, a carriage drive winding about the house, bordered by fra grant box hedges. Fenced in near the main entrance is a group of thirteen trees planted by Hamilton himself and symbolizing the thirteen original States. The house over looks the Hudson with the Palisades beyond and was as beautiful a country seat a* a man could wish. New York ought to have a historical society rich enough or an organ ization of some sort devoted enough to buy up such memorials of old times and prolong their life as much as possible. There are not too many of them and thev go to decay fast. Eliza Putnam Heaton. CHAMPAGNE CUP. A New Way for the Rich to Spend Money. New York, Oct. 29. —Last winter.it is said, a cup of chocolate proved a welcome change to the geutieinen who visited the different drawing rooms at that delightful hour of gossip and tea, 6 o’clock in the afternoon. “I drank ten cups of tea.” said a well-known gentleman, “between 4 and 5 o’clock on several days last winter." Asa change from tea many ladies intend providing champagne cup for those occasions where a little more ceremony than the ordinary tea-giving is required. Of course it is expensive, but that will beau item in its favor to some. It is served in champagne glasses, and brewed in a large gla-s pitcher of the tankard shape. It looks so attractive seen through the white cut glass; any colored glass would spoil the effectiveness. This is the best receipt for it, and as it emanates from no less an authority than Delmonico’s establishment, we may presume it is exactly right. Take a quart bottle of champagne, a liottle of English soda, one lemon cut in two, not squeezed, and the rind of a cucumber, which hot only flavors the decoction, but helps to make it look at tractive. In the pitcher is also placed lumps of ice, not cracked. On the top, float ing in this mixture, which has been thoroughly shaken, is a bouquet of mint, through which the punch or champagne percolates, as it is poured out, thus imbib ing some of its flavor. The cut glass tankards are very beautiful, come in several designs, and make a splended pr esent for a gentleman, as well as lady. They are also an ornament to the sideboard. Dainty little silver dishes now come in the shape of hearts, diamonds, or with crimped edges; they hold dried ginger for after dinner or other sweetmeats. A tiny pair of sugar tongs accompany them. High epergnes and bouquets are no longer liked at table, as they prevent the guests from seeing each other. The high candlesticks are also found to be an unbecoming light, so they are to be placed around the room instead of on the table. The low fairy lamps come in new designs, and are to be surrounded by a greater profusion of flowers than those used last winter. Evelyn - Baker Haßvier. Women and Their Hats. New York, Oct. 29.—Mrs. Langtry has a weakness for bats, and an obliging milliner showed me two or three ordered by the Lily the other day. One of these was a round hat in a darkish green velvet, with a brim somewhat narrow ami a shirred crown with a unique mobcap top, over which nodded a groat bunch of half long black ostrich plumes, the whole very novel, rather extreme, but undoubtedly “fetching” and becoming to the Lily’s general style. A second hat was a big Gainsliorough, which is Mrs. Langtry’s favorite shape, in a dark blue with felt, with changeable ostrich feathers, shading from blue through a dull olive to tints of red, noriding from the back saucily toward the face. The third was n fancy turban covered with a soft white plush and with a bevy of tiny white birds, their breasts just tinged with pink, perched upon the high front. The Lily is a connois seur of hats, and there is always noticeable a scientific end delicate adjustment of the respective claims to attention and promi nence of hat and the red brown locks of her hair. Col. Fred It. Grant's wife is a woman who understands the uses of a hat, and, with her pretty face framed in a soft felt Gainsbor ough in a dark Gobeleu blue, is one of the most attractive figures in the carriage procession through the Central Park drives these autumn days. What one might call “portrait" hats, copied from the shu[>es seen in old English paintings, are the latest and not an inartis tic fad in the millinery Way. The portrait hats are done in soft felts, iii dark shales, and average prettier and not much more extreme than the average hat and bonnet wares. CHEAP ADVERTISING. ONE CENT A WORD.

The American Art Journal of Now York thus speaks of Mrs. Cecilia S. P. Cary, of Rochester, N. Y. who Is now recognized ns ono of the llnest Pianists and most success ful Teachers that America has produced: “Mrs. Cary made (lying visits to New York, receiving valuable instruction front 8. B. Mills, and drawing inspiration from those two great tone masters, Thalberg and Oottschalk. The production of u pure singing tone had always been a study with her, and, observing that these two great pianists used only the Chichering Pianos, she made a thorough investigation, which resulted in her purchasing the ilrst Chick - ering Grand that went into Western New York. Since that time Mrs. Cary has been a firm and steadfast friend of that Piano Forte, and it is a matter of conscience with her to advise the use of these instruments with her class, over 70 of whom possess Chickering Grands.” A Wonn to the Wise. —A Piano which is used and indorsed by such magnificent artists ns Thalberg, Oottschalk, Rivi King, Teresa Careno, Wrn. H. Sherwood and Mrs. Cary is certainly a safe and desirable Piano to buy. Over 74,000 Chickering* have been sold, and to-day, as always, the Chickkrino Pianos lead the world.
