From Qur Own Correspondent. NEw Yonk, March 20.—The New York ITos- pital in Fiftcenth street, a fortnight since opeoed to patients, is with reason said to be the most thoroughly and handsomely appointed building of its class in the world. To have made it anything less had been without excusc. ‘Therc was no end of money wherewith to build, nor lack of braius and cxperience to direct its use. The property as it stands complete cost $£9840,000. Every improvementand convenience known to medical science are found within its non-absorbent walls. It is for fovalids a palace, in which to dwell were almost worth the break- inzof an arm or catching of a fever. For- eign and other visitors, who have scen every chief hospital in Enrope, are high in their praises of this. Among these may be mentioned Capt. Douglas Galton, of the £nglish Army Hospital at Woolwich, and largely responsible for the su- periority of that institution. Henot only gave the new building rank over any he had scen, but at once scnt to the manufacturers a lanze order for the iron bedsteads, the first made where the stecl springs are held in metal clamps, thus avoiding altozether the use of wood, *‘ Thatis the bed I have scarched for fora longtime,” said the Captain. *¢ And the bed we have tried fora long time to get manufactured,” added the Su- periotendent. ¥ AN ANCIENT AND WEALTHY SOCIETY. In the year 1771 bis Maiesty George IIL granted a charter to the New York Hospital So- lety, which procecded to put up its first duild- ing on what was then a.shady country road, now Broadway. The Revolution interfered with the project materially, as the Britlsh took adancy to the hospitsl and made of it a barrack. Fire acted as a cause of removal, howerver, before the quarters had been long en- joyed, and the despoiled were thus avenged. Ten years later, when the Jast of the foreign troops had gonc from the islund not to return, the Socictyfbuilt again. 7ill 1369 the old stone hospital, standing in a green shaded by lofty clms,was one of the Broadway sights no couatry visitor could afford to miss. The propertv had then become -of immease value for Lusiness purposes, while too confined for those of the Society. The builaings, accordingly, were torn . dowr, Thomas street divided the green, and the splendid blocks now to be seen completely transformed the spot. Thc memory of the elms is perpetuated in a table used by the hospital phyeicians, and which isa work of art worthy the famous trees. By this disposition of its real estate the cor- poration found itself the possessor of property now valued at little less than 25,000,00. From the opening of its works in 1792 until Feb. 19, 1870, it had received and treated 144,137 pa- tients. From thelatter date until the recent opening of the new buildiug it has received Do ancre than could be cared for in a small branch establishment. The present site was sclected as central and healing. Thereal estate, includ- ine the Thorne mansion, was bought for £200,000. SCRROTNDING A CHATEAU. - - The Thorne mausion was, till within a few Fears, the most celebrated in the city both for its clegance and the receptions held therein. Col. Thorne, one of the handsomest men of his dsy, was an army officer whose fortune was all to be made. Make it he did, and at a einzle stroke, by marryiog an beiress of as high family as fortune. The Colonel and his wife lived in France going on eightcen years, then came back to New Yori and set up an establishment such as had not at that time been scen on this side the water. The honse, standing back from the street, was boilt in the chatean style. The Colonel brought from France bis carpets and furniture, the tapestry for the walls, and artists to do -the frescoing and fancy work. Happily, the artistic work, the exquisite tapestry, and tings remain intact, and furnish for the Board of Governors, the library and wuscum, such quarters as neither library nor muscum ever occupied before. - The hospital proper i8 in the shapeof theletter E, the central plece jolning to the Thorne house, the wings section hair-mattresses placed on a body of | scraps. flexible steel links. At the head is a simple contrivance to raise the head and back of the paticnt to auy height desired. An electric an- nunciator is at bis hand, and brass soclkets set in the wall hold a stout cranc, with handle, by which he may move himself about, or take gen- tle exeruise when convalescing. SOME SPECIAL FEATURES. Chicf of these is the solatrium,—a place of beauty and an aid to health. This is built on the roof of the Thorne mausion. Through a skylight covering nearly the whole arca the sun comes streaming in upon a flower-garden, aqua- ria, and all manner of rare shrubs. From the many windows a bedutiful view of the city and surrounding heights is obtained. Here can the invalid be wheeled dbout in his chair-ambulance, cujoying the fresh air and sunlight, watching the gold-ish or speckled trout, noting the growthof favorite flowers. Therewasonenotable ‘omission,—not.a paneof blucglassanywhere tobe seen. I asked the Superintendent about it. He said the hospital physicians had an opinion on the subject which saved the expense of buying the glass. They aid not know but there might have been a greater humbug in the history of meedicine, though if so they had yet to Jearn of it. There are two elevators, onc for passengers, the other for patients, and large cnouch to transport them bed and all. A patient is brought into the general receiving-room on the ground floor. Here he is examined, washed, and clad in hospital garments, the operation being analogous. to that on entering State Prison, less the clipping of - hair. Then the patient is ready for any place assigned him. On this same floor are. the free dispensary, which is conducted on the prin- ciple of that at the General dospital in Boston, and intended to reach the cases of patients out of the city as well as in; the drug-store, fitted up in highly-polished silver maple, with blue boitles for the poisons, and cverything of the first quality; and the model dissecting-room. This hasa pew iuvention in the table top of heavy plate-glass, beveled toward the centre, and perforated with sizable holes. Underncath a'strons current of air passes by means of the ventilating shaft, drawing down the foul odors snd leaving the students and operators in com- paratively pure air. Much glass was broken beiore a perfect top could be ob- tained, but the cxpensc is more than canceled by the fuct that no other hospital has anytbing so complete for the purpose. The surzical-room is cqually well appointed. The instruinents shize out ‘from their olack velvet backeround, thera are patest contrivances for the advantage of both suzgeon and patient, and a thoroughly-equipped storchouse right &t hand. In the bagenent “are cells tor those cngaged with delirium tremens, cells padded so that the aflficted cannot injure thewselves, and contain- ing no furniture which may not be fastened to floor or wall. The hospital can care for over 200 patients. The charge for zereral patients is $1 per day if' the paticnt is able to pay; if not, he is received just the same. There arc some twenty women nurses, and ucarly an cqual number of males. All these live in the building. The Superin- tendent, Dr. Weld, to whom I-am indebted for information aud 2 tour of inspection from base- ment o roof, Jives on the second floor of the Thorne mansion, while above are nurses’ rooms and a sewing-school. By having the kitchen at the top the perfumes of cooking are avoided. Dumb waiters commanicate with ¢very floor. The water comes from an artesian well, and the Society manufactures its own gas, saving by these two itcms a Jarge snm yearly. The medical library contains 75,000 volumes, and is the largest in this country with tho ex- ception of that of the Surgeon-General nt Wash- ington. The museum is equally comprehen- sive, and coutains many curiosities besides the broken heart. Before Chicago builds its next hospital I trast a commission will be appointed to come on and appropriate the new idess em- bodied in this supreme effort of the oldest so- ciety in America. TETER THE ECCENTRIC. Peter Goclet, one of the wealthiest men of New York, and by long odds its most cccentric millionaire, has been for some days lying at the voint of death. His life presents a curf, % and not altogether pleasant study. Whatever may have been in his heart, his habits were such as to make it no marvel that le should IN THE BASEMENT OF IS NOUSE Mr. Goclet had his workshop, having a decided bent for mechanical pursuits.. In this shop he had & forze and tools of all kinds, with which he used to manufacture articles for the house. He not only cheated the tailor of his trade, but the furniture-dealer, the “ repair?? men, the grocer, and the milkmen of their customary due. . A few hours cach day were spent in his workshop. In the evening he would o down into his office, which was also fn the basement, and there, by the light of a solitary eas-jet, pore over his ac- counts and arrange his business for the morrow. His leases were usually for twenty-one ycars, with two renewals of an ecqual period, at a valuation. These leases ranked in the real- estate market along with thosc of the Astors and of Trinity Parisb. After the panic of 1373, when property had reached its lowest value, his fortune was put at $12,000,000. Yet he was never known to congratulate himself on his prosperity. On the contrary, he always depre- ciated the state of busiuess, and indulged in forebodings as to the future of rents, trade, and gains of all kinds. A writer, who was s inti- mate with him as any one succeeded in becom- ing, said oncc humorously that ten minutes of his conversation would make s rich man feel poor, and e poor man hungry. - These are SOME OF THE PECULTARITIES of the rich man who has done so little, nothing in anv public-spirited way, with the Jarge means at his command. He was born in January, 1500, of a family which for 160 years has produced cautious, frugal, industrious, conservative busi- ness-men, who ucver spent their earnings or employed them in speculation. Peter's great grandfather was a Huguenot, who came hither in 1718, and married well. Peter’s father made his money in the hardware business, and put it into the land which is the foundation of the millions that now pass to Mr. Goelet’s only brother Robert, who is worth milliops of his own, and’ almost as frugal, though he has a family. The question will come up in my mind as to what real advantage his vast wealth has ever been made to yield tothe old, well-nigh friendless man who row lies dying.

Thorne's houschold con- sisted of not less than forty-two persops, from which fact the grand scalc on which jt was run may be inferred. No receptions or private balls ‘were so recherche and magnificent as those given under his roof.

In the parlors once thronged with brilliant company are now long rows of cases containing, no doubt, in- structive but all the same unpleasant reminders of what discase can do to destroy and doctors to epatr. Here it was I saw what scemed a speeial satire on pleasure and the place. It was the veritable broken heart, often sung of but seldom seem.

After many experiments, lime and sand, worked o vigorously with the trowel, were judged to be the least absorbent miaterial for the walls. Thomixture gives a wall not white, but solid as adamant, and glistening fairly with hardness. The cycis at once struck with the abscnce of angles. There is no cornice. The ceiling meets the wall in a slight curve; the cor- ners are rounded the same way. Not a crack or hiding-place for discase can be found.

The hospitat is so far cousidered fire-proof that it is not insured. The Wwood-work is in maple, ash, sod elm, maple having been mostly used. Tests having proved rock maple to possess least facility for absorption, the doors are of that wood. with hiehly polished panels. Indeed, no ‘building in the city bas more artistic and per- fect finish. Every detall has been carefully attended to, even to the Society monogram on the backs of the chaire.

The lat- ter are furnished in the Eastlake style, and rent for trom $30 to $50 2 week, including board and pursing. The other floors have two wards each, except the top, which is given up io the kitchen, laundry, etc., and balf of the sixth, occupfed by the ' amphitheatre. The wards each occapy half theletter E. Inthe centre are the ‘purses’ rooms and closets, including the Turkish bath. The shape of the building, it wiill be seen, aliows abundance of light and air. “The floor is divided into squares, in every cther be regarded as one of the closest, hard- est, and stinglest of men. It is a sorry record for the possessor of a fortune esti- mated anywhere from $6,000,000 to $20,000,000, to dic and leave scarcely a soul to remember him for one generous action dome. A man’s riches, of course, are his own to dispose of or to hoard, as Lie pleases; still the world expects something, and with a certain right, of those abnormally wealthy. It is said Mr. Goclet spent. considerable moncy for the support of the widows and orphans of a New York regiment in which be became warmly interested; but even this worthy deed was carefully concealed and brought him none of the deserved credit. At the corner of Broadway and Nineteenth street stands a four-story Louse of brown brick, with blinds perpetually closed and no sign of life visible, save in the sizable yard inclosing it. The fact of a yard at this busy point in Broad- ‘way, everywhere about lined with stately busi- ness blocks, and the presence n ‘this yard of fancy fowls, pheasants, storks, a guinea-pig, and a cow, have served for years to arouse the curiosity of visitore. In this house lived the miserly millionaire, with no company save bis spinster sister, no servant save an old colored woman whose ag¢ no one, and nossibly not she herself, can tell. In the midet of the whirl and roar of Broadway, herc was a plat of .country, a breath from the farm-yard. Mr. Goclet had no social relations with the world. He never allowed limself the expense of a wife: His fowls were his friends, and they also fur- nished him fresh eggs. His cow was a valuable companion, and she gave bim pure milk. Thus it came to be said, and not strangely, that all his likings were in the line of his owrrinterest. Ho was equally fond of fine horses, and kepta valuzble stud. But he cither walked or took the cars in the transaction of his businees, sav- ing his horses for 2 rarc drive. The only time ed at will sell it. Common and medium furni- ture at first cost..

And the most humil- fating of all is the consclousness that his pres- ence is offensive to those around him. If any diseasc deserves the name of universal, it is this. Dietetic errors and the follies which fash- ion imposes upon us tend to foster and dissemi- nate it. To the pitiful cry of its victims, is there any cure for Catarrh ? thereis but one aoswer consistent with Christian reason. God has never sent one evil into the world for which He bas not sent the remedy. For the greatest of all spiritual and' moral erils, the Great Physiclan has preseribed a potent and never- failing remedy. He has given explicit: rules for the treatment and preservation of the spiritual and moral man, but He is silent in all matters relating to the physical man. It wou!d be an unwarrantable detraction from His beneficent character to suppose that He has afTticted tne greater portion of humanity with an incurable disease. The day of plagues is past. The God of Christianity is a God of "Lpre, of Mercy, His message is “good will to all men.” The carth and all contained therein was intencied by the great Designer to supply man’s wants; and surely he has no greater wants than remedies for his infirmities. Science is mun’s uttermost need. New medicinal plants are constantly being discovered and new proper- ties developed froni those already known. For Catarrh, the most potent remedrv vet discovered is Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. Its efficicy has been tested in many thousand cases with uni- form success. Cases that had been repeatedly pronounced incurable, readily yiclded to ft. In confirmed or obstinate cases, Dr. Pierue's Gold- en Mcdical Discovery should be taken in con- nection with the use of the Catarrh Remedy. Full particulars in Pierce’s Memoranduin Books.
