Stranger's Guide to St. Louis.
Introduction.
The necessity of such a GUIDE BOOK as is here presented to the public is obvious to all, and, though this want has been experienced for years, this, we think, is the first complete Guide to the City of St. Louis and its surroundings ever issued.
Every stranger who visits the city, either for business or pleasure, will find this little work invaluable, as here he will find not only the location of all objects of interest, places of amusement and recreation in the city and vicinity, all public buildings, churches, institutions, hotels, &c, but to all places of interest outside of the city, he will find the routes stated, by cars or otherwise.
CITIZENS will find this a very convenient book for constant reference. By consulting the Table of Contents, the perplexity often arising as to the locality of various institutions, churches, schools, etc., will be obviated. Of course, this will not be expected to take the place of the excellent City Directory (to which we are indebted for the location of a number of institutions, etc.)
It has been our aim to portray, in a short, concise manner, "St. Louis and its Surroundings — What to see, and how to see it."
We respectfully request those who may notice any errors or omissions, to report the same to the publisher, at the Lindell Bookstore, No. 610 Washington avenue, that future editions may be as correct as possible.

Advice to Strangers.
Almost daily, persons are robbed by the various "confidence games," by lending money on immense warehouse receipts, checks, or bonds, or notes on prominent citizens — ostensibly because "it's after bank hours," but really because the holders want to swindle by converting something worthless into greenbacks. Beware of everything of the kind. Don't think you are so sharp as to be above being deceived by one of these accomplished sharpers.
Keep away from Keno Halls and Gambling Dens, unless you have money you want to throw away. Beware of new acquaintances who manifest so much interest in you as to "treat" often, and urge you to go with them to some secret "club room." They probably want to show you "the tiger."
HACKS AND CARRIAGES. — Hundreds are daily deceived and swindled by being overcharged. We have published the law regulating Hackney Carriages, Baggage Wagons, &c. Whether you hire a carriage or employ a porter, your safe way is to make a bargain in advance, and as a check, always note the number of the vehicle or porter employed, so as to report them and get redress if swindled.
City Railroads will take you to almost any portion of the city. The routes of each line are plainly stated in this work. Fare five cents.
PICKPOCKETS are found among crowds, around the doors of places of amusement, in railroad cars and omnibuses, who are very expert at their calling, and appear like gentlemen. Occasionally they will be found in an omnibus or railroad car, with their hand thrust into their overcoat pocket, which happens to be minus of a bottom; and soon the unruly hand finds its way into a gentleman's, and often into a lady's pocket, cautiously transferring the "deposits" to his own, when he immediately has occasion to take some other route. Large sums of money ought to be deposited in a bank or with some tried friend, or effectually concealed about the person, and avoid showing your money among strangers.

St. Louis. A Brief History.
A little more than a century ago the Valley of the Mississippi was the possession of the crown of France, and bore the general name of "Louisiana," though its northern half was known as "Upper Louisiana," or "The Illinois." The seat of government of all this region was then at New Orleans. In 1762, D'Abadee, then Governor General, granted to Pierre Liquest Laclede and his associates, who composed "The Louisiana Pur Company," the privilege of trading with the Indians west of the Mississippi, with authority to establish such posts as they might think proper. The next year was spent principally in exploring, and on the 15th of February, 1764, Laclede decided to establish his principal trading post here, and took formal possession of the spot, naming it ST. LOUIS. On the 3d of August, 1766, a grant of land was received by Laclede upon which to build St. Louis. In 1770 Spain obtained possession of St. Louis and Upper Louisiana. In 1803 "Louisiana" was ceded to the United States. In 1812 all Louisiana north of the 33d parallel took the name of the "Missouri Territory," and the first Legislature convened at St. Louis, and in 1816 the members of the Council Board were made elective by the people. In 1804, when the little
10
French village was transferred to the American authorities, there were but two American families here, and the whole town numbered less than 1,000 souls, whose currency was deer skins. The town had only three short narrow streets, whose outside boundary "had just previously been a line of pickets, bounded by Fourth street, and whose tenements were the rude log houses." Mark the contrast in every respect!The growth of the city, though retarded by social institutions, has been rapid. The following was the population at various periods:
1769 — 891
1795 — 925
1810 — 1,400
1820 — 4,928
1830 — 5,852
1840 — 16,469
1814 — 34,140
1850 — 74,439
1856 — 125,200
1859 — 185,587
1866 — 204,827
1867 — 225,000
At the present rate of increase, this city will contain in the year 1900 more than 1,000,000 inhabitants.
In 1866 upwards of 1,400 buildings were erected, valued at $3,500,000. The valuation of real estate and personal property on which taxes were levied in the city in 1866 was $126,877,000.
St. Louis is nearer the geographical center of the continent than any other city, and will at no distant day be the center of population. It is destined by the decrees of physical nature and the laws of development to become the great inland metropolis of this continent. "New York may be the head, but St. Louis will be the heart of America." Its commercial transportation is facilitated by the most extensive system of inland navigation in the world. It is the geographical center of a valley which embraces upwards of 1,200,000 square miles.
The growth of St. Louis will be equal to the rapid growth of the great West. "Located at the intersection of the river which traverses zones, find the railway which belts the continent,
11
with divergent roads from this center to the circumference of the country, St. Louis enjoys commercial advantages which must inevitably make it the greatest inland emporium in America."The Numbering of Houses.
For the convenience of strangers, we would state that the present system of numbering the houses fronting upon public streets is what is known as the Philadelphia plan, and was adopted here about one year ago. By observing the following rules, the reader will readily understand:
1. The odd numbers apply to the north and west sides of the streets, and the even numbers to the south and east sides.
2. On all north and south streets the numbering begins at Market street, and increases north and south at the rate of 100 numbers for each block.
3. On all streets running in a westerly direction from the river, the numbering begins at the wharf, increasing 100 numbers for each block.
4. One hundred numbers represent each block going west from the river; also, one hundred numbers represent each block either north or south from Market street. For instance: the office of the St. Louis Agricultural and Mechanical Association is at No. 513 Pine street — that is, on the north side of Pine, on the 6th block from the levee, the 7th number from the corner of Fifth street.
Parks and Public Squares.
While the public pleasure grounds of the city are neither as numerous nor extensive as they should be, and are comparatively in embryo, they will compare, in every respect,
12
with those of any other western city. Prom an article in the Republican of August 4, 1867, we compile some facts, in addition to what we have learned by observation and inquiry:LAFAYETTE PARK is in the southern portion of the city, readily reached by the Fourth street and Chouteau avenue cars. It originally embraced a whole block of the City Commons — 40 acres — but the four streets, ninety feet wide, by which the park is surrounded, have reduced its size to an area of 23 acres. The trees in this park have already grown to a considerable size. In three or four years they will give all the shade that is wanted. Shrubs and flowers, distributed in great abundance between the groves of higher shade trees, give to the park a very lively appearance. Most of the ways and roads which cross it in all directions are now covered with a clean yellow gravel. Every Thursday afternoon the best brass band of the city plays for some hours on an elevated pavilion. This is a very appropriate measure, adopted in all the cities of the old country since the commencement of the present century. Parks with public concerts are among the very best supplements to all the other institutions by which the people, especially such fast growing communities as ours, are to be educated. Courts of justice, prisons, schools and churches have been in all times insufficient to check the tendency of extravagances in a people. "Panem et circenses," said the Romans, and decent public entertainments to-day will have the same beneficial effect as they had many thousand years ago.
HYDE PARK is situated on the summit of the first hill west of the Bellefontaine road, on Salisbury street, and can be reached by cars from Fourth and Locust streets, or Fourth street and Washington avenue, or by the Fifth street line. (See City Passenger Railways in this book). This park covers an area of four city blocks, is handsomely inclosed with a substantial stone and iron fence, which is bordered by double
13
rows of shade trees. Nature has done more than art towards beautifying the grounds. The stately oaks furnish a shady retreat where hundreds of children and their teachers or parents pic-nic, almost daily, during "pic-nic" season. Perhaps three hundred pic-nics of private and public schools, of white and colored folks, go there on a pilgrimage. Half a dozen and more parties often keep their innocent spring festivals there on the same day. Three lines of street cars, terminating all on Salisbury street, at certain times of the year unload uncounted numbers of pilgrims to this park. It is the people's garden of North St. Louis. They bring their meals along, sit down in clusters on the grass, take the necessary quantity of lager or soda from the bar, and are as happy as human beings can be. Nearly six thousand dollars have been spent by the city during this year for the improvement of Hyde Park; about three hundred dollars more than the appropriation.In the center of the city three comparatively small parks are laid out, nearly all at the same distance from the river, on Market, Olive and Carr streets. The first is WASHINGTON SQUARE, on Market and Eleventh streets. It covers a parallelogram of seven hundred and ninety-two feet in length by a width of three hundred feet. About $9,000 were expended on this park during the last year.
The MISSOURI PARK is on Olive and Thirteenth. $5,204 were appropriated for it, but more than $1,500 are not yet expended. Bordered by the two largest and prettiest churches of the city, and opening on Lucas Place and Locust street, with their splendid residences, this park, though it occupies only two city blocks, will be the jewel among all. Next year, we think, it may be opened to the public.
CARR SQUARE, on Sixteenth street, is in the best trim of the three. It is inclosed with a fine iron fence, the trees are
14
growing well, and the whole arrangement is already perfected. Though $1,993 were appropriated for it, only $200 were really expended during the present year.Further out in the northern part of town we find the three round places, each separated from the other by one city block. The CLINTON, JACKSON and MONROE PLACES, on Jefferson, North Market and Warren, and between Eleventh and Twelfth streets, are circles of three hundred feet in diameter each. The two buildings of the Webster School stand on Clinton Place. The two other circular places are pretty well advanced, though not ready to be opened to the public. On Jackson Place $1,369 have been expended during the present year.
When the trees are grown and nice benches are distributed in circular little gardens, the people of these quarters, who live a considerable distance from any other shady spot, will be happy to have a place where their children can play unmolested by the dust and the incessant moving of all kinds of vehicles.
In the southern part of the town we are to have the LACLEDE and the GRAVOIS PARKS. The first covers about one and a half, the second fully two city blocks. For many years they will be amply sufficient for all the reasonable wants of our population south of Arsenal street. For the improvement of GRAVOIS PARK there is an appropriation of $3,500.
By far a more felicitous idea will be represented in the ST. LOUIS PLACE, near the new reservoir, between Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets. It is an immense parallelogram of two thousand three hundred feet in width. It will be crossed in either direction by a large macadamized street, and bordered on either side by two alleys of shade trees, like the celebrated "Linden," in Berlin, or the "Planken," in Manheim, on the Rhine. We have already stated that, though a
15
sum of above twelve thousand dollars was appropriated for the immediate improvement of this place, not a dollar has been expended during the past seven months of the present year.| NAMES. | Balance & appropriations. | Expenditures. | Overdrawn. | Unexpended. |

The FAIR GROUNDS, (fully described on another page,) will be found as pleasant and attractive a place of resort as any of the public parks. Open every day from 7 to 7. Admission only 10 cents.

The Fair Grounds.
To give a full description of the beautiful Fair Grounds of the "St. Louis Agricultural and Mechanical Association," in a work of this size, would be impracticable — they must be seen to be appreciated. The first fair was held in the fall of 1856, and during the succeeding four years. These grounds remained an encampment during the war, and after the close of the war were returned unsullied and uninjured, more beautiful than ever, into the hands of the association. The grounds embrace 50 acres, which, at the time of purchase, were a natural forest, and have been wonderfully improved by
17
the addition of hundreds of choice trees and plants, the laying out of walks and drives, the erection of beautiful and convenient buildings for all fair purposes, the introduction of artificial ponds, mounds, &c. During the spring and summer of 1867, the committee in charge of the Fair Grounds, improvements have expended upwards of ten thousand dollars.At the Fair of 1859 several representatives of the Eastern press were present, who had attended fairs all over the United States, and many in Europe. They pronounced this the most handsome amphitheater, and as a whole, these the most beautiful and complete Fair Grounds they had seen anywhere. Since then, eight years' growth and beauty has been added to the various imported trees and shrubs, thousands of dollars have been expended in ornamenting and perfecting the grounds and buildings, and as long as any improvement can be suggested, the company will have the money to make this, and to maintain it, the best Fair Grounds on this continent.
"Fair Week" is the gala season, not only for St. Louis, but for the people within a radius of hundreds of miles. Railroads and steamboats bring persons at half fare, and the city is a vast swarm of exhibitors and sightseers from all the country around. During some days there have been present at the Fair Grounds 80,000 persons, within the inclosure at one time. Every year the attraction is made greater by the more liberal premiums offered, and the greater variety of articles included in the competition. From the premium lists it will be seen any article you can imagine as the product of the farm, the orchard or the vineyard, the mine, the manufactory, the workshop, garden or fireside, the barn, kitchen or pantry, will be acceptable, and upon which somebody will receive a premium. The benefits, or premiums, are not confined to this city or State. Every year premiums are borne away to other and distant States. This Fair is open to the
18
whole Mississippi Valley; if that is not broad enough, to the competition of the whole Union.The Fair Grounds at present embrace fifty acres, bounded by Grand avenue, Kossuth avenue, Bryan avenue, and St. Charles plank road. Heretofore, not only have the horse cars been crowded, but wave after wave, a constant throng of "living, moving humanity," has poured through every avenue towards this great center in the most costly carriages, in omnibuses, hacks, huge farm wagons, express wagons, trotting sulkies, beer wagons, lumber wagons, carts, and everything that moves on wheels — on horses and mules, and thousands on foot. One or more of the city railway companies will extend their lines to the Fair Grounds for the accommodation of visitors. Hence, you can reach them by the cars on Franklin avenue, on Fifth street, from the corner of Washington avenue and Fourth or from Locust and Fourth streets.
Are now well set in blue grass and shaded with a beautiful grove of forest trees, and through them are winding avenues, handsomely bordered with evergreens and trees of all other kinds, while an aqueduct from the city reservoir keeps seven ornamental fountains constantly in play and furnishes an ample supply of water to every part of the grounds. Around the whole are large and commodious stalls for the accommodation of the stock, and convenient thereto is a grand Mile Drive, forty feet wide, for the exercise and speeding of horses.
Have been erected of such size and shape as not only to furnish ample room for the accommodation of visitors and exhibitors, but greatly to beautify the grounds.
19
The Amphitheater, by far the largest in the United States, will seat comfortably 12,000 people, upon seats raised one above the other, so that all can see. Around these seats (one above them and the other below) are two promenades, each of which will hold 12,000. Thus it will be seen that this immense structure will shelter as many as 36,000 people. Under the Amphitheater are eighty-one booths, at which visitors can be furnished with refreshments at all times.
In the center of this building is the Pagoda, around which all the fine stock will be exhibited, and in it a full brass band performs during the exhibition. The Pagoda is forty-five feet high, has three stories, and is built in the most beautiful and ornamental style.
The Floral, Mechanical, Fine Art and Textile Fabric Halls are all spacious and admirably adapted to the exhibition of such articles as may be exhibited in those departments.
The Gallinarium, thirty feet in diameter, three stories high, is made entirely of wire, and contains ninety apartments, with all the conveniences for the exhibition and keeping of Poultry.
The Machine Shop is three hundred feet long, with shafting the full length, and furnished with a steam engine for testing all kinds of machinery.
The Cottage, a perfect gem as an architectural design, contains four saloons, which are well furnished for the comfort and convenience of the ladies.
The Agricultural Department, one hundred and sixty-one feet long and fifty feet wide, will give the farmers an opportunity to sit down and examine all the modern machinery lately invented.
The Music Hall, a building eighty feet long and forty feet wide, is erected exclusively for the display of musical instruments.
20
Minerals, Chemicals and Natural products of Missouri will be displayed in a new octagon building, suitably arranged for that purpose.
The Horse Railroad of the Citizens' Railway Company, now completed to the Fair Grounds, will carry passengers from the corner of Fourth and Morgan streets to the Fair Grounds for ten cents a person.
The Locust street Railway, Fifth street Railway and Washington avenue Railway will carry passengers for five cents to Salisbury street, connecting there with another railway which runs to the Fair Grounds.
These four railway lines will furnish ample accommodations to convey 75,000 persons daily to the Fair Grounds.
For a four-horse coach or carriage — $2 00
two-horse coach or carriage — 1 00
two-horse buggy — 50
one-horse buggy — 50
horse — 50
each person (whether in carriage, on horse, or on foot) — 50
Each stockholder will be admitted upon presentation of his ticket.
Visitors to the Fair are requested to provide themselves with change. The ticket-sellers are instructed not to receive any bills over five dollars.
At all other times, except during "Fair week," parties can visit the grounds by paying an admission fee of ten cents each.
21
The Missouri Botanical Gardens.
These Gardens are situated about five miles southwest from the Court House, on Tower Grove avenue (entrance at the western terminus of Floral avenue), which begins at Grand avenue and extends west to Tower Grove avenue. On this fine, elevated site, overlooking the city from the west, and a wide range of the beautiful surrounding country, will be found probably the finest gardens in the United States — certainly by far exceeding those of any other private individual. Hon. Elizur Wright, in the Boston Commonwealth, describing these gardens, says:
"Here is a congress of the whole vegetable world — palm, and pine and cactus, all the oaks and the misletoes. How funny the representatives of Arizona, all seated side by side in a little piece of desert from the banks of the Gila! Every species of grass, grain, bulb and tuber. Flowers and freaks of leaf-painting to drive peacocks and rainbows crazy with jealousy. You have perambulated a few of the countless walks, and think you have been here fifteen minutes, but your watch insists that it is two hours. The conservatories of tropical plants and the museum of rare specimens have not yet been visited. If one man of wealth and wisdom can confer such a boon on a city, without intermitting his business or impoverishing himself, what could not the city itself do?
"If it is a settled thing that schoolhouses and churches are a good investment in a city, this splendid experiment of Mr. Shaw, which pays him nothing but the thanks of his delighted visitors, proves that a few millions expended in bringing the great system of creation home to the city would be a still better investment. Here is education, religion, health and happiness rolled into one. Would that Boston had such a Shaw, also, if not faith enough in natural history herself to supply the want of one!"
22
The gardens are divided into three sections, as follows:
The Herbacious and Flower Garden, embracing ten acres, contains almost every flower that can be grown in this latitude, and also contains several plant houses, in which are thousands of exotic and tropical plants. With the masses, this is the most attractive portion of the grounds. From the neat octagon pavilion or summer house, near the center, a comprehensive view is obtained of the whole inclosure, with its neat gravel walks, tastefully bordered by various kinds of plants and shrubs; of the closely-shaven turf, apparently as smooth as velvet; of the numerous divisions and subdivisions, and of the whole grounds and surrounding country.
In the Fruiticetum, or Experimental Fruit Garden, comprising six acres, are cultivated all the various kinds of fruit which grow in the open air in this climate, including forty kinds of grapes, twenty of strawberries, and all other kinds and varieties.
The Arboretum is the most extensive, comprising twenty-five acres, and embraces all the kinds of ornamental and forest trees that will grow in this climate. In this section is the Pinetum, containing all coniferous trees that will grow in this climate — of pines alone twenty-nine species; and the Quercetum, embracing all the varieties of the oak, and the Salictum, embracing about one hundred species of the willow.
The Labyrinth, or Maze, is an intricate, winding, puzzling hedge-bordered pathway, leading to the summer house in the center. The hedges embrace all varieties and are kept clipped and in good order.
The Private Garden, where the graperies are situated, is in the rear of the house.
The neat, yet substantial fire-proof building, east of Mr. Shaw's residence, is devoted to the Museum, Herbarium and
23
Botanical Library, on the main floor, the Reading and Lecture Room being in the basement.The improvements were commenced by Mr. Henry Shaw about 1857 with a design to establish an institution for the promotion of the sciences of Botany and Horticulture. To a life of business the proprietor has added this life-study of fruits and flowers. The high appreciation by the public of his princely liberality in the conception of so noble an endeavor, and the veneration and respect they entertain for the man who thus devotes years of labor and thousands of dollars annually to this singularly laudable enterprise is daily and hourly manifested by the scores and hundreds of our citizens and strangers who visit this model garden. The massive stone walls and huge iron gates are not closed against any who observe the rules of the garden.
Visitors are admitted daily, from sunrise to sunset, except on Sundays and holidays; then after 2 o'clock P. M. The average number of visitors is about six thousand per month; and while this is the most fashionable, pleasant and popular place of resort, open to all respectably attired and well-behaved persons free, the proprietor expresses himself in warm terms with the general good order and deportment of visitors.
Every visitor leaves the garden reluctantly, and is better for having been there, and the hour spent there will never be forgotten. All revere the man through whose liberality this work has been so admirably planned and thoroughly and systematically executed.

St. Louis Public School Library Society.
This Society was incorporated in February, 1865, and the Library now contains upwards of 10,000 volumes of works, carefully selected with regard to the wants and tastes of this community. Nearly every branch of modern standard Literature, British and American, is here well represented. It has a respectable collection of Travels; a good body of History, ancient and modern; an abundant mass of Biography, and is rich in Poetry, Essays, Works of Fiction, Theological Commentaries, School Reports, and Text Books. It has, also, many of the most valuable books of reference in the several departments of Science and Art. The books are all late publications — the very cream of all that has issued, in late years, from the American press.
On their tables are constantly kept a number of Illustrated Works, for old and young, the attractiveness of which is shown by the interest with which they are examined by those who, day and evening, pass their leisure hours in the Library. The rooms are commodious, well lighted and ventilated, and every pains have been taken to render them comfortable and attractive The Reading Room is supplied with 34 Daily Newspapers, 29 Weekly Papers and Magazines, 58 Monthlies and Quarterlies, including the leading papers, magazines and reviews of our own country and Europe — English, French and German; also, two daily papers from London, one from Paris, two from Germany, six from New York, and one or two from each of the other principal cities of the United States; papers from Edinburg and Dublin; all the leading Educational Magazines, several Medical Journals, 8 Juvenile Papers and Magazines, and the Periodicals of various Religious Denominations. Nothing has been spared that could
29

St. Louis Church History.
The first church organization in this city was by the Catholics, who were also the pioneers — the first settlers. In 1766, two years after St. Louis was founded, Father Meurin performed the rites of baptism in a tent. Pierre Laclede Liquest laid off a square for a Catholic church, which was built of logs — the pioneer church in what is now the city of St. Louis. The Cathedral, on Walnut street, near Barnums' Hotel, now occupies the site. There are now upwards of twenty Catholic churches in the city, and every year adds to the number; among them are some of the largest and most costly of any in the city.
The first effort made towards founding a Presbyterian church here was in April, 1816, by Rev. Salmon Giddings, who was sent to the Territory by the Connecticut Missionary Society. He held a meeting, called together the few Presbyterians then here, administered the Communion, and in the following year (November 17, 1817) established a church in a small building (now occupied by Wyman's Hall), on Market street, where he preached and taught school. The first Presbyterian church edifice was erected in 1825, on Fourth street, between Washington avenue and St. Charles street, long since given up to business blocks.
38
Rev. John M. Peck and Rev. James B. Welch called together the seven Baptists in the village on the 18th of February, 1818, and after preaching organized the nucleus from which have grown the present churches of this denomination in the city. In 1819, they commenced a church on Market and Third streets, the site of Barnum's Hotel. In 1835, they erected a second church on Third and Chesnut streets.
Rev. T. M. Post, the present efficient pastor of the "First Trinity," was the founder of the society here, and preached the first sermon in the church on Sixth street, between Washington and Franklin avenues, where his congregation worshiped till 1855, after that occupying their own building, corner of Locust and Tenth streets.
The first Episcopal service was held in September, 1819, and the society organized the following November. Rev. John Ward was the first clergyman, and during the two years of his ministry preached in the old Court House, corner of Walnut and Second streets. The first church was erected on the corner of Chesnut and Third streets; commenced in 1826 and completed in 1880.
This society dates its organization in St. Louis in 1834, the first service being held in the third story of a building on the corner of Main and Locust streets, then occupied as a Masonic hall. The first church was erected in 1837, on the
39
corner of Fourth and Pine streets, and was occupied by the society till 18 — , when the present Church of the Messiah was completed and dedicated. Rev. W. G. Elliott was the first officiating clergyman, and is still pastor of the Unitarian church (assisted by his son), and has been a prominent leader in the principal educational and benevolent reforms since 1834.Churches in St. Louis.

The Cemeteries.
The Bellefontaine is owned by an association, incorporated in 1849, and embraces 221 acres. This is to St. Louis, what Greenwood, Laurel Hill and Auburn are to the Atlantic cities; and the commanding position, the natural beauty, and the artistic manner in which the grounds have been improved, render it one of the most beautiful spots about the city. The Roman Catholic cemetery, adjoining, was established in 1852. The sites of both these "cities of the dead" are on the Bellefontaine road, about five miles from the Court House — both richly wooded, and beautifully diversified and ornamented, and well adapted for the sacred purposes for which they have been consecrated. [Take Fifth street cars to city limits, north, there connecting with omnibus for the cemeteries, or Six-mile House.]

ODD FELLOWS' HALL,
CORNER OF FOURTH & LOCUST STREETS,
ST. LOUIS.
JONES' COMMERCIAL COLLEGE is conducted upon the only feasible plan which can be adopted to produce competent practical accountants. It combines the demonstrations of the science of the school with the actual business of the counting house, under the immediate personal control of a practical accountant, who previously to adopting teaching as a profession, served a regular apprenticeship to the business in one of the best houses in the West.
Many of the students in attendance spend one portion of each day in the school, and the remaining part of the same day in journalizing and posting the books of their employers. It is now pretty generally understood in this community that the direct way to secure a reliable book-keeper is to select a young gentleman of good moral character, active business habits, familiarized with the ordinary routine of the office, send him to JONES' COMMERCIAL COLLEGE, have him complete a thorough course, and put him at once in charge of your books.
For circulars call at the office of the Book-keeping Department, corner of Fourth and Locust streets, or address,
