122 West Gist Stkket,
New York, July 17th, 1882.
Editor Advertiser and Appeal: Had
j been instrumental in supplying
yon with a more interesting commu
nication than I could have written
myself, I would scarcely dare at this
i tt te moment to keep a hall promise to
send you a few dots once in awhile.
In the first place, I have not borne
“transplanting” as well as the wild,
tough naturo of my "genus” would
atnrally have led one to anticipate.
I hanker after the free, open-air life
of my “sin countree,” where everyone
“aew me, and returned the welcom
ing smile or friendly glance given.—
Well, even here in this great Babylon
I am insensibly giving them, I sup
pose, for on the wonderfnl elevated
jsiiroad, which has literally "to be
seen to be appreciated,” there arecer-
;*in stations mnch frequented by ye
orrespondent, and where "a few sec
onds too late” has detained her, and
being “Southern, and genial of
course"—I have, from asking neces
sary questions for gnidance, uneon-
si-ionsly gotten, as it were, acquaint
'd with the officers, so that “the lit-
,Southern lady" is now welcomed and
assisted on and otl' trains as though
she was an “official” somebody. Some
people complain of want of.courtesy
and attention from the elevated rail*
oiid officials. I can only state my
own experience, which is I uoyer mot
with more kindly, patient, gentleman-
treatment than on the elevated
road, and my affairs of business and
pleasure take me daily “over and of
ten on the 6th and 9th avenue roads.
Last week we rode over the former
to 110th street—and a lovely, cool
ride it wits, though so elevated (sixty
feet) that it was scary—en route to
see our home neighbors, Mr. Drury
and family. He is, I am happy to
state, improving in health. You
know be is visiting his daugpfcr, Mrs.
A.., the charming Miss Anna of a few
years ago. Here let me say, apropos,
that I have met and welcomed sever
al of our, townsfolk. Mr. Ward, I
nope, has recalled me to the memory
if iiis and my many “Esther” associ
ntcs. Mr. Wilder sent me very eor-
fonntains, the distant plash of oars in
the lovely lake near by, the musical
laugh of children in the goat wagons,
the rustling leaves and playing sun
beams, the great crowd of men, wo
men and children in all kinds of cos
tumes, and of every class from the el
egant lady, languidly leaning back in
her landeau, to the bare-foot, hatlcsu
little beggar, whose prematurely
shrewd glance softens and grows
child-like and happy as the soulful
strains touch every heart and “make
the whole world akin."
I wish to tell you of my second ap
pearanoe at a public reception—the
54th stroot grammar school, where
my “ain lad” Orlie is a scholar,
sent the Sunny South a sketch of my
first visit, which was at the request of
a band of lads of our present neigh
borhood, who have flattered me by
styling themselves “ the listeners/
and who gather nronnd my window
doorstep, and ask abont “the
South,” and soem nover to tire of my
recollections of the war time. As
they are “just in the civil war in their
history,” Ad as they themselves say,
“of course it has a slight leaning to
the Northern side,” I feel it a Provi
dential interposition that I have the
opportunity of establishing a just
balance! And who knows
dial greetings, but did not manage to
share the dinner I prepared in antici
pation of his pssible “will call to-mor-
row evening.” Mrs. Rowe and
Messrs. Marlin and Spears paid their
welcome respects to the exiled
“queen,” and only last week one of
tile beloved “boys” of L’arioso passed
n week with his friend Charlie—Wm.
M. Mason. Wo went to oee ‘ that
most ludicrous of all satires, “Pa
tience” together, and “ Charlie and
Bud Mid’ Coney Island and Central
Park, the Aleaza, etc.” Yon ought
to come on and see this wonderfnl
city. It is a “liberal education” mere
ly going about with one’s eyes open.
Every Saturday I go to the park,
■ H.lv three blocks off and after a love
ly, shaded walk throngh sunny glades
and flickering shades come out upon
the crowded “mall,” a broad walk as
wide as a street, glorified by life-size
colossal statues in bronze and granite
of great men—principally poets and
authors on this walk,.though-the (A
tire park is dotted with these-speak*
mg illustrations that—

And I shall not have left my bonnie
home for naught if I may, perchance,

gard to the great and glorious heroes
and patriots of our beloved South.
The 64th street school is only six
years old—very young, yet well
grown and flourishing, its male de
partment numbering over 600, and all
appeared bright, fine-looking lads.—
They are most fortnnnte in their sm
perintondent and assistant teachers.
Mr. Elgas is not only “a scholar” and
successful preceptor, but a most kind
aud courteous gentleman. His first
assistant, Mr. Shan, has brought the
musical education of the school to a
wonderful point of skillful oxeention.
The essays were not only well ren
dered, bnt gave evidence of real study
and research. The subject was rather
unfortunate in view of the approach-
finale to the wretched tragedy of our,
nation, to be concluded in Guiteuu's
hanging next day, for wbat mun, or
woman either, would have the moral
courage to declare that capital punish
ment should bo abolished, with the
lamented • Garfield’s murder un
avenged ? So the decision was grant
ed in favor of the negative, as a mat
ter of course
Miss Cameron, the first teacher of
my son, deserves mention as a thor
ough teacher, conscientiously devoted
to advancement of her pupils. Mise
Taylor, who has shown.* warm per
sonal interest in her Southern pupil,
is not only one of the most solidly
well informed and accomplished wo
men it has been -tny good luck to meet
in years, bat has the happy art of
winning boys’ hearts while imparting
in a most agreeable manner—bestow
ing from the rich treasury of her own
large stores of mental wealth. I fan
cied the public school a vast hot-bod
where the youthful minds of the city
boys and girls were unnaturally
forced Into premature development,
but upon closer investigation and
deeper insight I find the gradation
is really easy portuf-
ly no boy or girl’noted be nnMncated
and unaccomplished, for music, in
strumental and vocal; | drawing and
German are included in the four
years' cours'6. The speaking was ex
ceptionally good, and I Ijke^lp
mention by name tin young lads who
covered themselves and teachers with
a glorious success, but have already
transgressed all bounds,
saying if long in writing I have at
least made a long amende. Use dis
cretion us well as your scissors, or

Mr. Editor: In your. lust your cor
respondent P. gave ns some words of
wisdom that we might all take to our
selves and improvo thereby. I am
truly glad yon have added this fea
ture of a truck furwing column to
your paper, or, rather, given special
prominence to it, for the Advertises
has always preached truck-farming. — :
What I wish, in brief, to say, is that J
truck forming could bn made decided- j
ly more important in this section than 1
it is. By way of illustration: Some i
are this year giving special promi
nence to sweet potatoes, and/ verily
believe they will realize the biggest
yield per acre ever known. A few
are beginning fruit farms, giving spe
cial attention to the LeConte- pear. — j
Now, Mr. Editor, this does not ex- ‘
haust the list by a great deal. Sev
eral other specialties offer themselves
to the truck farmers of this locality.
The belle or sweet pepper pinkie is
acknowledged by all to be one of the
finest made. Would it not pay them
to devote an acre to this plant, pick
ling the fruit for market It is easily
raised and more easily pickled, and,
besides, if desired, other articles could
be pickled as well. Next comes the
growth and cnltnre of arrow-root It
Would thrive well on the coast, aud
the yield is very abundant, besides al
ways bringing a big price. It is
worth twenty-five cents a pound any
day, and the preparation of it is ex
tremely simple. We throw out these
two suggestions, in hopes some of
our' truck farmers may give them a
trial. Any information at my com
mand will be cheerfully given anyone
desiring to hear from me. Again
commending you, Mr. Editor, for your
interest iu truck farming, I close.
