INTRODUCTION. 
 
 The necessity of such a Guide Book as is here presented 
 the public is obvious to all, and, though this want has 
 leen experienced for years, this, we think, is the ^rs^ com- 
 pete Guide to the Cit}- of St. Louis and its surroundings 
 iver issued. 
 
 Ev-^eiy stranger who visits the city, either for business or 
 )leasure, will find this little work invaluable, as here he will 
 ind not only the location of all objects of interest, places of 
 imusement and recreation in the city and vicinitj'', all public 
 juildings, churches, institutions, hotels, &c., but to all places 
 )f interest outside of the city, he will find the routes stated 
 5y cars or otherwise. 
 
 Citizens will find this a very convenient book for constant 
 •eference. By consulting the Table of Contents, the per- 
 plexity often arising as to the locality of various institutions, 
 jhurches, schools, etc., will be obviated. Of course, this will 
 lot be expected to take the place of the excellent City Direc- 
 tory (to which we are indebted for the location of a number 
 3f 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 ' 
 dence games," b^- lending money on immense war 
 receipts, checks, or bonds, or notes on prominent citi 
 ostensibly because " it's after bank hours," but rea 
 cause the holders want to swindle by converting som 
 worthless into greenbacks. Beware of everything < 
 kind. Don't think 3^ou are so sharp as to be above 
 deceived by one of these accomplished sharpers. 
 
 Keep away from Keno Halls and Gambling Dens, 
 you have money you want to throw away. Beware c 
 acquaintances who manifest so much interest in you 
 "treat" often, and urge j'ou to go with them to some 
 " club room." They probably want to show you "the 1 
 
 Hacks and Carriages. — Hundreds are daily de 
 and swindled by being overcharged. We have pul 
 the law regulating Hackney Carriages, Baggage W 
 &c. Whether you hire a carriage or employ a ] 
 your safe way is to make a bargain in advance, an( 
 check, always note the nu^nhei' of the vehicle or portc 
 ployed, so as to report them and get redress if swindl 
 
 City Railroads will take you to almost any portion 
 city. The routes of each line are plainly stated in this 
 Fare five cents. 
 
 Pickpockets are found among crowds, around the 
 of places of amusement f in railroad cars and o'inni 
 who are very expert at their calling, and appear lik( 
 tleraen. Occasionally they will be found in an omnil 
 railroad car, with their hand thrust into their overcoat p 
 which happens to be minus of a bottom ; and soo 
 unruly hand finds its way into a gentleman's, and pfte 
 a lady's pocket, cautiously transferring the "deposits" 
 own, when he immediately has occasion to take some 
 route. Large sums of money ought to be depositee 
 bank or with some tried friend, or etfectually concealed 
 the person, and avoid showing your money among strai 
 
ST. I.OUIS. 
 A BRIEF HISTORY 
 
 A little more than a century ago the Valley of theMissis- 
 sippi 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 Grovernor General, granted to Pierre 
 Liquest Laclede and his associates, who composed " The Loui- 
 siana Fur Company," the privilege of trading with the In- 
 dians west of the Mississippi, with authority to establish such 
 posts as they might think proper. The next year was spent 
 principal^ 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, 17<56, a grant of land was received by 
 Laclede upon which to build St. Louis. In 1770 Spain ob- 
 tained 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 STPvAyGEPv's GUIDE 
 
 French village was transferred to the American authi^rities, 
 there were but two American families here, and the whole 
 town numbered less than 1,000 souls, whoso currency was 
 deer skins. The town had only three short, narro ;/ streets, 
 whoso outside boundary "had just previously been a lino of 
 pickets, bounded by Fourth street, and whose tenements were 
 the rude lo<^ houses." Mark the contrast in every respect ! 
 
 The growth of the city, though retarded by social institu- 
 tions, has been rapid. The following was the population at 
 various periods : 
 
 1709 801 
 
 1795 925 
 
 1810 1,400 
 
 1820 4,928 
 
 1830 5,852 
 
 1840 16,469 
 
 1844 34,140 
 
 1850 74.439 
 
 1856 125,200 
 
 1859 185,587 
 
 1866 204,327 
 
 1867 225,000 
 
 At the ])resent 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, valudl at 
 S3, 500,000. The valuation of real estate and personal })rop- 
 ertv on which taxes were levied in the cit}' in 1866 was 
 $126,877,000. 
 
 St. Louis is nearer the geographical center of the contijient 
 than any other city, and will at no distant da}" be the center 
 of population. It is destined by the decrees of physical na- 
 ture and the laws of development to become the great inland 
 metropolis ot this continent. "New York ma}" 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 Wost. " Located at the intersection of the river 
 w^hich traverses zones, and the railway which belts the conti- 
 
TO ST. LOUIS. 11 
 
 nent, with div-ergent roads from this center to the circum- 
 ference of the country, St. Louis enjoys commercial advan- 
 tages which must inevitably make it the greatest inland em- 
 porium in America." 
 
 The Numbering of Houses. 
 
 For the comenience 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 follow- 
 ing 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 soutli 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 repres.ent each block going west 
 from the river; also, one hundred numbers represent each 
 block either north or south from Market street. For in- 
 stance : the office of the St. Louis Agricultural and Mechani- 
 cal 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 tke corner of Fifth street. 
 
 Parks and Public Squares. 
 
 While th-e public pleasure grounds o J the city are neither 
 as numerous nor extensive as they should be, and are com- 
 paratively in emb7-yo, they will compare, in every respect, 
 
12 stranger's guide 
 
 with those of •Any other western city. From an article in the 
 Republican of August 4, 1867, we compile some facts, in addi- 
 tion to what we have learned by observation and inquiry : 
 
 Lafayette Pakk is in the southern portion of the city, 
 readily reached b}'' 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 28 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 tlie 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 after- 
 noon 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 commence- 
 ment of the present century. Parks with public concerts 
 are among the very best supplements to all the other insti- 
 tutions by which tho people, especially such fast growing com- 
 munities as ours, are to be educated. Courts of justice, 
 prisons, schools a. d churches have been in all times insuffi- 
 cient to check the tendency of extravagances in a people. 
 '' Fanem et circenses," said the Konians, and decent public 
 entertainments to-day will have the same beneficial etfect as 
 they had man}'- 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 
 
TO ST. LOCIS. 13 
 
 rows of shade trees. Nature has done more than art towards 
 beautifying the grounds. The statel}" oaks furnish a shady 
 retreat where hundreds of children and their teachers or 
 parents picnic, almost daily, during "pic-nic'' season. Per- 
 haps 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 festi- 
 vals there on the same day. Three lines of street cars, ter- 
 minating 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 briug 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 ap- 
 propriation. 
 
 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 Washixgtok 
 Square, on Market and Eleventh streets. It covers a paral- 
 lelogram of seven hundred and ninety-two feet in length by a 
 width of three hundred feet. About S9,000 were expended 
 on this park during the last year. 
 
 The Missouri Park is on Olive and Thirteenth. ^5,264 
 were appropriated for it, but more than $1,500 are not yet ex- 
 pended. Bordered by the two largest and prettiest cburches 
 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 STRANGER S GUIDE 
 
 growing well, and the whole arrangement is already per- 
 fected. Though $1,993 were appropriated for it, only S200 
 were really expended daring 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 Jef- 
 ferson, 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 read}^ 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 unmo- 
 lested by the dust and the incessant moving of all kinds of 
 vehicles. 
 
 In the southern part of the town we are to have the La- 
 clede 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 vv^ants of 
 our population south ■ of Arsenal street. For the improve- 
 ment 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 cele- 
 brated "Linden," in Berlin, or the "Planken," in Man- 
 heim, on the Rhine. We have alreadv stated that, thouofh a

 sum c»f 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.

 The Fair Grounds. 
 
 To give a full description of the beautiful Fair Ground?; of 
 the "St. Louis Agricultural and Mechanical Association," in 
 a work of this size, would be imprticticable — they must b^ 
 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 acs-es, which, at the time of purchase, 
 were a natural forest, and have been wonderfully improv.^d by 
 
TO ST. LODIS. 17 
 
 the addition of hundreds of choice tree? and plant;*, the hiving 
 out of walks and drives, the erection of beautiful and conve- 
 nient buildings for all fair purpose.-,, the introduction of arti- 
 ficial ponds, mounds, &c. During the spring and summer of 
 1867, the committee in charge of the Fair Grounds improve- 
 ments 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 beauti- 
 ful 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 Gronnds 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. 
 Eailroads 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 manufac- 
 tory, 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 con- 
 fined to this city or State. Every year premiums are borne 
 away to other aiid distant States. This Fair is open to the 
 
18 stranger's guide 
 
 whole Mississi}jpi Valley : if that is not broad enou^ii, to the 
 competition of the whole Union. 
 
 The Fair Grounds at present embrace fifty acre?, bounded 
 by Grand avenue, Kossuth avenue, Br^^an avenue, and St. 
 Charles plank road. Heretofore, not only have the horse 
 cars been crowded, but wave after wave, a constant throng of 
 "livino:, moving humanit}^" has poured through ever}^ avenue 
 towards this great center in the most costly carriages, in om- 
 nibuses, hacks, huge farm wagons, express wagons, trotting 
 sulkies, beer wagons, lumber wagons, carts, and everything 
 that moves o)i 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 Frank- 
 lin avenue, on Fifth street, from the corner of Washington 
 avenue and Fourth or from Locust and Fourth streets. 
 
 THE GROUNDS 
 
 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 pla}^ and furnishes an am- 
 ple supply of water to every part of the grounds. Around 
 the whole are large and commodious stalls for the accommo- 
 dation of the stock, and convenient thereto is a grand Mile 
 Drive, forty feet wide, for the exercise and speeding of 
 horses. 
 
 BUILDINGS 
 
 Have been erected of such size and shape as not only to fur- 
 nish ample room for the accommodation of visitors and ex- 
 hibitor^, but greatlv to bcautifv the grounds. 
 
TO ST. LOUlts. 19 
 
 The Amphitheater, by far the lars^est in the United States, 
 will seat comfortably 12,000 people, upon seats raised one 
 above tfie 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 im- 
 mense structure will shelter as many as 36,000 people. Under 
 the Amphitheater are eightj^-ono 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, con- 
 tains 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 oppor- 
 tunity 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 instru- 
 ments. 
 
20 ■ stranger's guide 
 
 Minerals, Cliemicale and iSTatural products of Missouri will 
 be displayed in a new octagon building, suitably arranged for 
 that purpose. 
 
 CONYETANCE TO THE FAIR GROUNDS. 
 
 The Horse Eailroad of the Citizens' Kailway Company, 
 now completed to the Pair 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 Wash- 
 ington 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 accommodatioiis 
 to convey 75,000 persons daily to the Fair Grounds.

 The Missouri Botanical Gardens. 
 
 Thes6 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 for exceeding those of any other private individual. Hon. 
 Elizur Wright, in the Boston Co7nmonvjealth, describing these 
 gardens, says : 
 
 " Here is a congress of the whole vegetable world — palm, 
 and pine and cactus, all the oaks and the misletoos. How 
 funny the representatives of Arizona, all seated side by side 
 in a little piece of desert from the bank* 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 con- 
 fer 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 histor}^ herself to supply the 
 want of one ! "

 The gardens are divided into three sections, as foUo\\ 
 The Hebacious and Flower Garden, embi-acing ten acre?, 
 contains almost every flower that can be grown in this lat- 
 itude and also contains several plant houses, in winch arc 
 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 a« 
 smooth as velvet ; of the numerous divisions and subdivisions, 
 and of the whole grounds and surrounding country. 
 
 In the Fruiticetwn, or Experimental Fruit Garden, com- 
 prising 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 kinda 
 and varieties. 
 
 The Arboretum is the most extensive, comprising twenty- 
 ftve acres, and embraces all the kinds of ornamental and 
 forest trees that will grow in this clima1>e. In this section is 
 tbe Pinetn^n, containing all coniferous trees that will grow m 
 tbis 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 wil- 
 low. 
 
 The Labyrinth, or Maze, is an intricate, winding, puzzling 
 hedge-bordered pathway, leading to the summer house in the 
 centner. The hedges embrace all varieties and are kept clip- 
 ped 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

 Botanical Library, on the main floor, the Eeadino- ami Lecture 
 Koom being in the basenienf. 
 
 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 en- 
 deavor, and the veneration and respect the}' entertain for the 
 man who thus devotes years of labor and thouamds 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 arft 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 visitor*. 
 
 Every visitor leaves the garden reluctantly, and is better for 
 having been there, and the hour spent there will never be for- 
 gotten. All revere the man through whose liberality this 
 work has been so admirably planned and thoroughly and 
 svstematicallv executed.

 St. Louis Public School Library Society. 
 
 {Southwest corner Fifth and Olive streets.) 
 
 Thie Society was incorporated in Februar\% 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 Lit- 
 erature, British and American, is here well represented. It 
 has a respectable collection of Travels : a good body of His- 
 torv, 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 
 geveral departments of Science an I 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 
 ghown 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 Weekl}" 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 G-ermany, 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 Relig- 
 ious Denominations. Nothing has been spared that could 
 
TO ST. LOUIS. 29 
 
 render this Roadiug Room complete, as to reading matter, 
 furniture, or liglit. 
 
 It has an ample supply of books and papers \or tlio young, 
 yet the chief design of the Trustees has been to create an 
 institution where the searchers after knowledge or literary 
 recreation, of every age and taste, may iind matter exactly 
 adapted to their wants — a great popular Library, in fine, for 
 the citizens of St. Louis, oflfering them, at the lowest possible 
 rates of membership, a pleasant place to ^peud their leisure 
 hours or evenings.

 '. LOUIS CHURCH HISTORY. 
 
 Roman Catholic. 
 
 The rirst church organization iii this eity was bv the Ca- 
 lolics, who were also the pioneers — the first settlers. In 
 J&3, two years after St. Louis was founded, Father Meurin 
 erformed the rites of baptism in a tent, Pierre Laclede 
 iquest laid off a square for a Catholic church, which was 
 Liilt of logs — the pioneer church in what is now the city of 
 t. Louis. The Cathedral, on Walnut street, near Barnums' 
 -Otel, now occupies the site. There are now upwards of 
 venty Catholic churches in the city, and every year adds to 
 le number : among them are some of the largest and most 
 )8tlv of anv in the citv. 
 
 Presbyterian. 
 
 The first effort made towards founding a Presbyterian church 
 [3re was in April, 1816, by Kev. Salmon Giddings, who wa& 
 :!nt to the Territory by the Connecticut Missionary Society. 
 I'^e held a meeting, called together the few Presbyterians 
 len here, administered the Communion, and in the follow- 
 ig year (November 17, 1817,) established a church in a small 
 ailding (now occupied by Wy man's Hall), on Market street,. 
 here he preached and taught school. The first Presbyterian 
 lurch edifice was erected in 1825, on Fourth street, between 
 Washington avenue and St. Charles street, long since given 
 p to business blocks.

 Baptist. 
 
 Rev. John M. Peck and Rev. James E. Welch called toj 
 gether the seven Baptists in the village on the 18th of Febru 
 ary, 1818, and after preaching organized the nucleus fron 
 which have grown the present churches of this denominatioi 
 in the city. In 1819, they commenced a church on Marke 
 and Third streets, the site of Barnum's Hotel. In 1835, the] 
 erected a second church on Third and Chesnut streets. 
 
 Congregational. 
 
 Rev. T. M. Post, the present efficient pastor of the "Firs 
 Trinity, " was the founder of the society here, and preachec 
 the first sermon in the church on Sixth street, between Wash 
 ington and Franklin avenues, where his congregartion wor 
 shiped till 1855, after that occupying their own building 
 corner of Locust and Tenth streets. 
 
 Episcopal. 
 
 an( 
 
 The first Episcopal service was held in September, 1819 
 the society organized the following November. Rev. Johi 
 Ward was the first clergyman, and during the two years o 
 his ministry preached in the old Court House, corner of Wal 
 nut and Second streets. The first church was erected on th^ 
 corner of Chesnut and Third streets ; commenced in 1826 an( 
 completed in 1830. 
 
 Unitarian. 
 
 This society dates its organization in St. Louis in 1834, th 
 first service being held in the third story of a building oi 
 the corner of Main and Locust streets, then occupied as 
 Masonic hall. The first church was erected in 1837, on th 
 
TO ST. LOUIS. 39 
 
 ;orner of Fourtli and Pine streets, and \va^ occupied by the 
 ociety till 18 — , when the present Church of the Messiah was 
 lompleted and dedicated. Kev. W. G. Elliott was the first 
 )flaciating cleroyman, and is still pastor of the Unitarian 
 church (assisted by his son), and has been a prominent leader 
 n the principal educational and benevolent reforms since

 The Cemeteries, 
 
 The Bellefontaine is owned bv an association, incorporated 
 in 1849, and embraces 221 acres. This is to St. Louis, what 
 G-reenwood, Laurel Hill and Auburn are to the Atlantic 
 cities; and the commanding position, the natural beauty, and 
 the artistic manner in which the g-rounds 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 theBelle- 
 fontaine 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,

 JONES' COJiIMERCIAL COLLEGE is coiulncted 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 previ- 
 ously to adopting teachmg as a profession, served a regular appren- 
 ticeship to the business in one of the best hou^^es 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 jour- 
 nalizing 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 ordi- 
 nary routine of the otiice, send him to JONES' COMMERCIAL 
 COLLEGE, have him complete a thorough course, and put him at 
 once in charge of your books.
