Like Mark Tap- ley, Gothamites seem to glory in being f.wily under the ‘worst of circumstances, and seem to take she greatest pains, not to better themselves, but to remover overy pos- sible alleviation which might damage their crait in ap- propriate polity. For the benefitof all classes, shen, the ‘Himnatp immortalizes our slushy ‘‘term.”” ‘Most things are susceptible of very contrary usw To iilustrate this—and we eball give but one illustraskea, and that apropos to the patriotic Twenty-se - cond—we have a tradition that during the Re- volutionary war our forefathers used ,mortars, both to cook their own, and to settle thelr enemies’ hash. Just’ 80 salt, while it preserves the shares in the railroad and” Stage companies from falling below par, destroys our health, our comfort and our clothing; and the sun, whose bleaching powers are unrivalled and generally acknow- ledged, has lately made as much daily dirt and filth as the ignoblo sheet which is named after it, and is pub- lished just acroas the way. On Saturday last we had a fine snow, and with this raw material the sun and the salt together have succeeded in manufacturing a prime article of slush—the best ever offered in the New York market, For four days, then, New York has been under the reign of slush, and, in fact, under the slush itself, And New York slush, just at this time, is totally unlike any that our country cousins can imagine. Worcester do- fines slush as—Ist, ‘a poor, plashy ground,” likea young swamp, Or ® soggy meadow; 2d, as “‘soft mud,” like that upon country roads after a long continuance of rainy weather; and 3d, as ‘snow in « state of liquidation,” and that is all the slush about which our ruralists know anything. But New York slush is a sort of com- pound mixture of all these—pooly, plastry, muddy, snowy and unutterably nasty, unhealthy and disagreeable, while, to make bad worse, a great deal of brine and plenty of al} sorts of ewilt stuff are added. ‘This, then, is New York slush. Nature furnished the snow and the sun; the transportation companics—who should be transported—gave the salt; and the mud—but when was New York without mud? With this slush, for ‘the last four days, New York has been overflowed. Go where you would, you could see slush; go where you would, you would hear slush, for this nauseous mixture was not only over the streets, but was, metaphysically speaking, in everybody’s mouth. Attempt to cross any street where the railroad or stage companies held rule, and a pretty pickle you were in. Attempt to cross amy other street, aud you met with scarcely better success. ‘Still, some persons lay all the slush upon the salt, and the salt hath lost its savor to most Gothamites. The great me- tropolis has not had such impassable, mushy, horrible thoroughfares since the great storm of 1966, when the enow in Broadway was piled up half a story high. Residents in the suburban regions carried the slush away with them, and approach New York from any quarter wou would, you were sure to hear the remark: “Terrible walking in New York.” Coteries in the cars and forry boats talked about the slush. Far away up town, people coming down in the Bloomingdale stago or the Yorkville cars, stopped a moment by the condactor to say something about the “nasty sireets down town;” and so we approached New York in a perfect atmosphere of slush, and when we disembarked at the ferry or the Park, we found.a new illustration of the truth of the say- ing, “ What everybody says must be true.”” We think that most people would have been willing to take Broadway as a fair specimen of the streets of New York for the few past days. Long and wide before you stretched the filthy street, along which splashed numberless horses, stages and carts, and across which dashed at intervals braces of pedes- trians, bounding like A gg kangaroos, or with the er- ratic leaps of flying fish. Let any one attempt to cross, and after journeying five or six squares in order to find a epot which did not hing mole queens drownings and losses bg co Se pelos be r , knee deep 5 stepping upon slip- pery places, or down pits almost bottomless, elbowed by Uai inevitable middle aged, stout man, who always crosses when you do, and in constant a cart or stage steeds drivers, with that attention a characterizes omnibus drivers, opposite shore you will have conceived a ively idea of the patience of an old New Yorker, who en- dures all Cs without trying to remedy it, and endures, of officials whose only well attended duty ing of their salaries and other things. ‘The crossing of Broadway, then, was no ter to those interested, but it was a matter arousement to our reporter, whose duty it the ‘To see mel i creatures stood in the Feat brief enthusiasm which generally carries ny riaking |, and, upable to advance or retreat, flourished their handker- chiefs and hands to Ear and waited de- maurely their ‘taking off.”’ Neatness and comfort were ‘at a discount, and comfortless nastiness reigned supreme; and over ali, the City Hall, as dirty as the streets, filled with official slush, looked jaundicedly and forlorn.

This fact may be valuable to some future historian. But one was scarcely more secure from a wetting when upon the sidewalk, for the slush was splashed in all di- rections and to all distances. An occasional dead-lock of vehicles, as difficult to dis: entangle as those in Congress in regard to the S; er ship, that at the Charleston Convention in ri to the candidate, or that marriage knot (which is not what it is cracked up to be), varies the entertainment in Nassau street, and gives an opportunity for more oaths and femora = i taney can record in a month, unless he keeps ‘3 in phonography. the streets that even the firemen take to the sidewalks and etretch over their rope—and when did ordinarily muddy streets ever daunt these gallant fellows?

We believe that there was more liquor drunk in new York city yesterday, by unaccustomed drinkers, than on any other day for the last six months. The only person who seemed to enjoy, or reap any bo- nefit from the slush—cxcept the innumerable street sweepers, who did a first rate business on a remarkably suall investment of capital and labor—was the Russian Ambassador, recently arrived, who has discovered a lan, Buggested by the railroad companies, of transform- ing Russia into a second Holland in case of invasion, by salting the whole country, thus, also, in Bowery slang, ‘<palting” the invaders; and only wonders why it wasn’t done in the time of Napoleon le Grand; and, also, an en- terprising calculator, a friend of ours, who has it down in those figures which never lie~and our readers may calcul it for themselves, if they please— that the money expanded during the last four days, on account of the slush, in extra car and stage rides; in extra shoes, boots and India rubbers; in extra washi of soiled apparel, and in purchascs to replace that whic! ‘was spo! ed; in contributions to street sweepers: in wear and tear of horse flesh; in liquors; in medicines, either to cure actual colds or as precautions against the dreaded diphtheria, and in many other ways germane to the sub. ject, but which we have not time to rehearse: that this mouey would bayve more than paid for the cleaning. washing and drying of every street in the city, in bail- cleaners, and would +n borpenae tie a erection of a monu- ment to per} memory of the occurrence.
