' - AS Old City directory-.
Death as a leveler is not in the
same class wifch an old - directory.
The wonder is if on the shelves of
the mighty of Manhattan island
there is a copy of a little . book
which has just found its way to Chi
cago. In these days when those in
high places seek the assistance of
the librarian of congress to get a
tight and exclusive grip on their
names, it would seem to the humbler
persons that a perusal of the pages
of this little directory of New York!
of the year 1822 should teach a
pricesless lesson of humility,' says
the Chicago Evening Post.
It was in an old book shop in New
York that John C. King, of Chicago,
brought to light the volume in which
are found the names and the occu
pations of the dwellers in the me
tropolis before the last century had
turned its first quarter. What an
opportunity is here given for those
who wish to look back to the rock
whence they were hewn and the pit
from -whence they were digged.
. Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, the eld
er, has invoked the aid of the law
to make her Mrs. . Vanderbilt. She
will have none of the Cornelius end
of it. The shade of the original
Cornelius doubtless, will look disap
provingly on this action of its great-
granddaughter-in-law. The original
Cornelius was proud of his name
both ends of it. He asked permis
sion of the city of New York to
paint it in full and in large letters
so that Ms fellow-citizens might
read it. Permission was granted,
and the father of all the Yander
bilts proudly wrote on each side Of
his wagon this legend
Cornelius Vanderbilt, licensed cart-
man.
Cornelius has a place with his
brother and cousin Yanderbilts on
page 458 of this old-time - register
of Manhattan citizens. Like Cor
nelius, the cartman, the three Ja
cobs and the three Johns of the
Vanderbilt family found no good
reason for hiding their names and
their professions from an inquiring
world. As good craftsmen should,
they believed in hanging their signs
on the outer walls, and thus they re
spectively appeared: Blacksmith,
painter, shoemaker, carpenter, sex
ton, grocer.
Wild animal life was abundant in the
United States in 1822. There was no
necessity then for the existence of pro
tective societies for four-footed game.
The members of the Astor family
should adopt some furred f oTest crea
ture as their crest, for a glance at the
ancient volume in hand shows that
three As-tors of that year were en
gaged in skin sales, or, to put it more
elegantly, the sale of skins in New
York city.
Mr. Iiongworth, who compiled the
directory of the city of New York 80
years ago. is to be complimented on the
general appearance of the letter press.
He npparently. however, allowed one
typ"!rraphical error to creep into his
wor'.:. Everybody who keeps in touch
witli the throbbingly1 interesting doing-.-
of the New Yorkers of this date
kni.ws that the favorite Christian
na " of the Lorillard family is Pierre.
Th:': name is the pride of the Loril
larN. It is said that the directory
men allowed the original Lorillard to
gel ;'ito the book as plain Peter. The
business sagacity of t.he Lorillards
nevr has been questioned. They al
wa.w have been, as it were, "up to
snuiV." "Tobacconist, 44 Chatham
street," appears after the name of
Peter Lorillard in this record of four
score years ago.
But there are other names in this
book of the olden time. Good old
Peter Cooper is set down as a mason,
living in Bedford streets Aaron Burr,
counselor, had an office at 41 Nassau
street, which is still a lawyers' loca
tion and his house was at 22 Eeed
street. Not far from Burr was situa
ted the office of the son of Alexander
Hamilton, whom Burr had killed at
Weehawken 19 years before. The
Eoosevelts. tbe Goelet, the DePey
sters, the Stuyvesants, the Kermits,
the Kips and the Schuylers have places
on the directory pages, but, curiously
enough, there is only one Vanrens
selaer. Newfoundland is probably the only
country in the world where venison,
salted or fresh, is a staple article of
diet for the masses. The coast folk
make their plans with method and de
liberation, says Outing. From the har
bors where they reside they go in their
boats to the rivers and fords which
strike into the interior. When naviga
tion is- no longer possible they debark
and continue on foot to the deer coun
try. They carry barrels filled with salt
and sometimes- go in large companies.
When the rendezvous is reached they
camp. Then they ambush themselves
along a promising "lead" or deer track,
armed with a long, six-f ootmuzzle-load-ing
sealing gnns, whdeh they charge
with about "eight fingers" of coarse
gunpowder and "slugs" of lead, frag
ments of iron or bits of rusty nails,
whichever they may have. They, fire
point blank imto a herd of caribou, as it
passes, and being usually good shots,
contrive to kill almost anything they
aim at, or to wound it so badly with
these dreadful missiles that it sooivcol
lapses. Then they skin and cut up the
meat, for these men know a. little of
every trade, and pack it in the barrels
with the saltas a preservative.

Denver, Col., May, 17. Intense
interest is manifested in the city e-
leciion, which is bsicg held here
today, and is the first under tbe
Dew charter. Predictions of blood
shed, are made, especially for the
lower wards.
Tbe election is for the selection
of county add city officers for a
term of four years. During that
period many valuable public fran
chises will come : up for reoewal.
Repablican lfadsrs are accusing
Governor Peabody of treachery to
call out the militia to prevent
trouble. Tbe democrats control tbe
police and the political machine.
In the lower wards everything
up to night was quiet, but several
small riots have taken place in the
residence wards where the republi
can judges weretbrown out of tbe
polliog place?. Bettiog is 2 to 1
on tbe democratic ticket, which is
headed by Robert W. Speer. He
will probably bi elected. The weath
er is fine aad a heavy vote is being
polled. .
