The wohdersof the Thousand and One Nights are less startling than the growth of the prin- cipal thorougbfare of the city of New York— originally cailed by the Dutch settlers Heere straat. ihe name of Broadway was first ap- plied to the street in 1777; and more aristo- cratic name of Heere straat—the name of many streets in Holland, as, for instance, the magni- ent Heeregracht, in Amsterdam—meaning the street of the gentry, washear@ no more. In 1791, Chambers street waz known as “Great G street;”’ in 1802 it was called the ““Mid- die ;’ and only in 1304 has the name of Broadway been applied to its full extent. American history exhibits remarkable devel- opment of cities like Buffalo, Cincinnati, C! eago ropa Poni bat of = the wonders achiev y industry, energy and imagination, the growth of Broadway is the greatest. In 1820, a lady, eighty-six years o:d, remembered the time distinewly when the site of the nt St. Paul’s church was a wheat field: an old man, of nearly the same age, remembered when boats could pass freely over the space of the Battery uow covered with large trees. At that tine there were few streets paved. Broadway aud all the other streets had their gutters in the middie. The Oswego market was in Broad- way, opposite Liberty street. In 1797, Rutger’s orchard was on the site of the present Hospital, and this was the extent of Broadway. [n 1767, the inhabitants kept their cows in the town, and the cow pastures were upon a line with the present Grand st. In 1791 the houses clustered thickly around the Bat- tery, which was then what the Fifth avenue is in our days—the place of residence of the wealthy and fashionable. The Governor's house stood opposite the Bowling Green, the name of Led easure ground where the sturdy Dutch played at bowls and skittles, and where on pleasant evenings their buxom wives and rustic belles joined the merry revel; while the old Governor, smoking his long Dutch clay pipe, watehed from his window, with a species of phlegmatie diplomacy, the movements of the people, taking care that nothing seditious should be going up. Those were happy days for the Duteh ; the Irish still remained in Ire- land, and Yankees had not yet made their appearance in Broadway. Jan had it all his own way in 1791, and a quaint old-fashioned way it was. As Jan look«d from the Bowling Green toward the East river he could almost fatiey himself on the Boompjes of Rotterdam, or the Prince Gracat or Amstel of Amsterdam, oreven iu the snug, damp. cosy little nooks of the quay of Delft; sitting down in the evening with Myvrous, or Myjouvrou, or Myjongejou- rou on the steps of the house in the Battery, with plenty of pipes and huge cups and mon- strous bowis of tea and coffee, he might really have fancied there was no sach foolish thing as the Atlantic ocean. no such perplexing puzzle as civil and religious liberty, and that he was again sitting upon the steps of his ph oo house in desr old Amsterdam. But after 1791 these dreams were gradually broken up. At that time the buildings beyond Trinity Church, as far as St. Paul's Chapel, were not yet thickly placed, and it required but little time to get trom thence to the broad free coun- try, the rural aspect of the street being diver- sified by gardens, fields, orchards, and swamps, with here and there a public house. But hardly fifty years pass by, and Jan has become obsolete. His progeny, the Kuickerbockers, as they are called, appear a speck in the ocean to the mass of Irish, Yankee, German, Eng- lish, and miscellaneous nationalities which, like .so many avalanches, have burst upon Broadway, built houses. and stores, and hotels, and theatres, and saloons, and museums, upon the fields, orchards, and swamps of 1791, until, in 1843, the old Heere straat looks already very much like a combination of the London aaoae and the Paris Boulevard Boone Nou- velle From 1348 to this day, Broadway has again been completely transformed. Hardly oue of the landmarks of fifteen years ago remain. With the exception of the Astor House, the Hospital with its green, St. Paul’s, the City Hall, Stayvesant Institute, and one or two more antiquities, there is a change of houses reeptible in every block. ‘he increase of pasiness was such that trad cruached every- where, until at thisday, excepting a number of private dwelling-houses beyond Prince street, the whole Broaaway has become a vast gallery of stores, theatres, saloons, and hotels, while churches, with the exceptionof Trinity and St. Paul's, and private residences, have all been removed to the upper partof the town. Those which have not yet been removed are in a fair way to beso. Trisity and St. Paul’s churches are well nigh deserted, and the Tabernacle, the old spot so endeared to reformers, is no more. The aspect of Broadway in 1853 presents many striking features, with elements so mixed in character, that no comparison with tbe great thoroughfares of European capitals could con- Vqy & correct idea of it Early in the morning the street begins to fill with carts and vebicles, bringin, plies from the country to the mar- ket. ris all the by-streets which connect Broadway with the rivers, crowds of men and women, and wagons and horses emerge from the Brooklyn, Hoboken, Williamsburg, Staten Is- land, and New Jersey ferries. It is still very early in the morning, the shops are still closed; only bere and there an omnibus makes its re- luctayt appearance, its horses and driver not having yet shaken off the sloth of the night. There are also some carriages stopping before the Astor House, St. Nicholas, Metropoli and otber hotels, with a load of travelers just coming in from East, North and West, or trom European and Calitornia steamers. At this early hour Broadway looks thoroughly respee- table, like a big ball-room, which, after the revel of the evening, is used by the lady of the house in the morning for thrifty purposes. But as the morning advances traffic increases The terries disgorge their human cargocs. The side- walk begins to swarm with women and men em- ployed in business. Newsboys appear upon the scene of action, Omnibuses begin to rattle. The rush of emigrauts sets in. Spruce clerks appear at the corners of Prince, Canal and White streets, however limited their means, here they are, bailing the omnibuses, fresh, rosy, and weil dressed. Tradespeople of all nationalities crowd the vehicle. French and German dry goods job- bers, Bremen merchants, Jew financiers South- ern, Easterc and Western speculators and pecu- lators, auctioneers, men a ae and men of substance ; New York, New Orleans, ilamburg, Liverpoul, San Francisco, Boston and Cincin- nati sre huddled together in a six cent omni- bus pele-mele with St. Louis, Lyons, Charles- ton, Manchester aud Savannah ; all rusbing to —Wall street. Broad street, Pearl street, Front street, South street. This gives character to Broadway. Beside this crowd of passengers there are the locust-swarms of city-bound pe- destrians. Marketing bas disappeared—busi- ness nee Meee the smell of meat, fruit and vegetables gives place to a fragrance of cotton pee gesre and groceries. The stir inside the swores begins. In the street the excitement iaereases. Simali knots of travelers, boarders, loungers and smokers, begin to congregate be- fore the principal hotels. Itis about 9 m. Basiuess wen who dine out and rise late, jour- ualists who come late home from the editorial sanetam, and others who belong to the Broad- way rear-guard, now appear. Yet Broadway bas already lost its rigid business aspect. At- ter nine or ten, new elements ure added to as life. Lawyers, professional men, and leisurely men of busindss appear on the sidewalk, aud, as the day advances, comedians, theatrical managers, litterateurs, clergymen and artists mingle with the crowd. Doon ladies make their appearance. If the weather is fine, the ladies continue to increase in numbers as the day advances. The lady-eiement of Broadway is ene of its most dazzling features. This lady element is rather of a mixed charac. ter. There is aiways a small » rinkling of lady-like women sbopping, or mg an air- ing, or employed in hunorable labor ; bat there are aconsiderable number wi ebar- acter does not beat such esthetics! analysis, aad also in Broadway, as in Regent street, aud ou the Boulevards, a greet aumber of undo- _Ebenng Star VOL. XII. mesticated ladies, not necessarily of doubtful character. but ladies unattached, whose affec- tions have been crossed, and whose aspirations are blighted, and apon whose bleeding hearts the excitement of Broadway acts as a sedative. This floating population is swelled by many female day dreamers, lounging women, or she- loafers, whose hopeless vacaney of mind calls for the stimulant of the noise, the shops, the dust, the variety of faces, of the hissing, seeth- ing street. ‘there is something there to Jure them away from the monotony of their aimless life, and gradually they are fascinated by Broadway. They cannot live without it. They become part and parcel of Broadway. They dress for it, as if to flirt with its pave- ment. There are female faces which haunt Broadway for a whole generation. The stran- ger who has seen such a face, with a Broadway ush, at the beginning of the nineteenth cen- tury, may chance to meet the same face again, with Broadway wrinkles, toward the middle of the same century. Towards mid-day Broadway has lost alto- gether its Ludgate hill and Cheapside charac- ter. In fine autumnal days it partakes of the dazzling features of the Boulevards of Paris, as the volcanic turmoil of the Strada Toledo of Naples, of the leisurely aspect of the Ham- burg Maiden lane and the Berlin Linden, of the tornado rush of the London Strand, and of the elegance of Picadilly. But Broadway par- takes, on such occasions, of all the elements indicated, without coming specifically under any class. While up town is rushing down town, and in the afternoon, when the influx toward home sets in, the street has a London Fleet street and Cornhill look, while the side- walks resemble rather the avenues of Paris, Brussels and Hamburg. At times, the mixture of races, of German, Trish, French, English, Scotch, Scandinavians, Poles, Hungarians, Italians, Negroes, Jews and Indians, with the hundred varieties of Yankees, Westerners, Pennsylvanians, Californians, and Southerners,"remiads one of a great Babel of a fair, like Nishnin, Novogorod, or Leipsia, or of a great Levantine port,like Constantinople and Alexandria, where ull languages are heard, all races mingle for a time, and yet amid the va- riety every one preserving its own individual- ity. This, then, is another peculiarity of Broad- way, which makes it so different from great European thoroughfares. After sunset, when business has ceased, and the shops are mostly closed, the pleasure atmosphere Meine Im- mense crowds gather at theatres, und other places of amusement and entertainment. As the evening advances the character of the Street assumes a more owivous appearance Even after the pleasure-seekers have returned bome it remains full of stragglers Strange looking men, andauit stranger look- ing women, begin tocome from ihe by-streets aud back alleys, forming smu] knots at promi- nent corners, as if for a campaign. Ommibuses continue to rattle. Policemen and watchmen areon the gui vive. Bearded foreigrers and natives, smoking and swearing, haunt. the street. Here and there the ery of murder is beard, and then the clubof the policeman. For atime all seems quiet again Broadway, at last, seems to go to sleep. But, no; there is a band of drunken sailors drifting in from some side street. Wild songs shake the air. Here and there a plaintive voice is beard. A r little flower girl offers a bouquet of faded tow: ers toone of the drunken bund. Or the fire- bell calls for engines, and the loungers join in the frolic, and women who pass by change ter- rible salutations with the noisy gang. clock strikes one.

After three—perhaps from four to five—Broadway takes a sort of a nap. At this hour when the night is clear, the sleeping streets affurd a splendid istas. The steeple of Trinity looms above the surrounding buildings, and the gas lights—those luminous poicenee of the Wall street money-safes— lend their reflection with the lamps, and in the upper part of the street the air of repose in this early morning hour is full of solemnity. But Broadway cannot afford to sleep long, and seon after five the busy comedy again hegins.— The Crayon se A Fiea uxper A Microscore.—Whena flea is made to appear as large us an elephant, we ean see all the wonderful parts of its forma- tion, and are astonished to find that it hasa eoat of armor much more complete than ever warrior wore, and composed of strong polished plates, fitted over each other, each plate cov- ered like a tortoise shell, and where they meet hundreds of strong quills project like those on the back of the porcupine or hedgehog. There are the arched neck, the bright eyes, trans- parent cases, pierces to puncture the skin, a sucker to draw away the blood, six long-jointed legs. four of which are folded on the breast, all ready, at any moment, to be thrown out with tremendous force for that jump which bothers one when they want to catch him, and at the end of each leg hooked claws to enable him to cling to whatever he alights upon. A flea can jump a hundred times hisown length, which is the same as if aman jumped to the height of seven hundred feet; and he can draw a load two hundred times his weight.— Chambers’ Journal.
