"SNUO HARBOR."
The 160,000 Bailors who annnally make the
Vm of Water street, West street, and South
street their temporary homes, have very little
HWle attention bestowed upon them. Very
Millets read or them In the newspapers; still
ken la seeo of them la the street. The people
Vboae Merest might do tbt tu some trood are
et precisely of the clans to make discoveries in
West ud South uod Water streets. From ten to
three they are as busy u their bankers' and
fcrokers' oftlces as beaver, aud all day Sunday
hcy are equally as btnj In dostine In their pews
and dining In their palace. Wall street Is in
as much sjmpatbty with Water street as whisky
fc with water. Croton with Cnpnae, or a man
with his wife In the second month ot the honey.

Ub.isbed alon North and East river?, but
Uey do not seem to do much good. They have
gathered but a spurs'! attendance Their inmates
and worshippers altogether probably do not
averaee more tbim one thousaud. Of course,
fee Institution kuoivn as "Ihe Sailors' Snuir
UUrbor" must be excepted from this calcula
tion, the recent alleged application of that
histltntlou for exemption from a tax of $10,000,
together with the ui!ijr'1ate striken', this port,
has done something toward brioc'tni; the sea
faring brotherhood into transient notice.
The ".Sailoro' Sutic? llatbor," situated on th!
western coat of Staten lhad, and established
at the brginuinK ot the present century by
Oaptalu liicbard Raudall, is one ot the two
extremes of the sailor's chore life at this port.
Iks ether sxtreme is found iuthoo numberless
sow trogsciicc, dance-housrs, and lodging,
houses with which such s'.rcets as Water, Weit,
aad South ure lined, and which might
bo likened to the ruaelstrooros, the waterspouts,
the typhoons thai beset his paths at sea.
The property With which, at the time of his
Aeatb, Captain Randall endo ed the institution
that he desired to have erected, is included be
tween Ninth and Twelfth ptreets and Broadtfay
and University place. Resides this valuable
tract, which yields ol course a largo annual
ground rent, the institution o vus more than 150
acre ol land on Staten IhlanJ. One-third of
these acres is leaded, and corrcs-p'mdiiigly adds
te the already large lucom, the aggregate of
which, however, is eahl to be not $90,000. This
seems hard to be believe.). It is not true, as
reported, that the trustees of Suup Harbor ap
plied for exemption from luxation ot any of
their property except what was actually in uc
I sr charitable pjrpo-e. This annutl taxation
mnonn's to JTOOH, and the object ot the trustee
In bepp-ing to be relieved trotn it was to provide
additional accommodu;use for a greater nuu
br of old, decrepit, and worn out eallori than
the 400 at present housed, ltd, and otherwise
provided tor. The Harbor has never received
nj other aid than that given it by its founder,
Cup'ain Randall.
The various 'snug hubor" (ts thny hive
been salircaliy called) of the three stree's ic ire
then otcc iercrred to, viz., West, Sou'.h, aud
Water, hate b' ea tctnvriij m ire than

wetenevtr more profu-e iu their glare of brass
and glow of rsarole, and their mirrored reflec
tions of glittering decanteis behind the
bar. It must not te lmapinoU that
