BURNET WOODS PARK rests on a hill directly north of the city, about two miles from the post-office. It contains 1631/2 acres, nearly all thickly wooded with fine forest trees. It was pur- chased by the city in 1872, and is yet comparatively uudeveloped. As a popular resort it is becoming more appreciated by the pub- lic on account of the extensive shade afforded, especially during sultry summer days. Picnic parties composed of a few families each come with their luncheons, and enjoy themselves on the green, 'neath the shade of the patriarchal trees. It is not gener- ally known that such recreation is permitted in the park, or it would be more extensively used for such a purpose. At the north end of the park there are great quantities of wild flowers, and in some sections the entire surface of the ground is covered with them. There are splendid avenues running through the park in various directions. A music-stand occupies a conspicu- ous position, and around it is a graveled space or plateau for carriages during the concerts. Seats are provided under the trees for visitors. Weekly concerts are given here during the season, under the Groesbeck endowment fund. These concerts are largely attended, and well appreciated. There have been planted on the slopes, on the main avenue leading to the music- stand, some hundreds of evergreen trees of the Austrian pine, Scotch pine, Norway spruce, Silver fir, and other varieties. The park boasts of a siuall but very pretty lake of irregular size, sup- plied with fresh water from the Mt. Auburn reservoir, through a four-inch, iron pipe, two hundred and thirty feet in length, leading from Bishop street to the margin of the lake. A com- modious frame building is erected on the margin of the lake, for the use of skaters aud other purposes. During the winter months the skating pond is a source of great amusement, when as many as a thousand persons of both sexes can be seen, at one time, enjoying the healthful exercise. At night, when the skating is good, the pond is illuminated by lanterns and reflectors. During summer the avenues are sprinkled daily. A drinking-fountain has been established at the main entrance of the park, near the terminus of the street-car track. The cost of labor and supervision for the year 1877 was $3,185 50. The park is reached by the Elm street line of street cars.
BUTCHERS' MELTING ASSOCIATION .- This association was established in 1854 as a joint stock company, and buildings crected at the northwest corner of Findlay street and Central Avenue, by the butchers, for convenience in dis- posing of their scrap meat and refuse fat. It is now in the hands of a few men, but still serves the original pur- pose, its wagons collecting from the numerous butcher shops in the city all refuse meat and bones, for which a fair price is paid.
CABINET MAKERS'UNION .- A protective association of cabi- .
net makers. It holds its meetings on the first and third Satur- day evenings of each month, at Arbeiter Hall, on Walnut street, north of the canal. The Union numbers about 200 members.
CALEDONIAN SOCIETY, THE-Was incorporated February 6, 1832, for the purpose of assisting destitute Scotchmen and their families who emigrate to this country, and forming a fund to relieve the indigent members of the Society when afflicted with sickness and disease. The Society numbers about 40
members. Charles S. Cowie is the President of the Society, and John W. Richardson, Secretary.
CALIFORNIA .- A small village on the Ohio above the month of the Little Miami river, about six miles from the Post-office.
CAMP DENNISON (Sce Grand Valley).
CAMP WASHINGTON .- A portion of the city in Millereck Town- ship, now part of the twenty-fourth ward, and used as a military camp during the war.
CARPENTERS' ASSOCIATION. - Meets on the first Thursday in cach month, at Arbeiter Hall. It is protective in its character, and has sick benefits. The membership is about 300.
CARTHAGE .- A village on the east side of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Railway. An old place of about 1,200 in- habitants. It is the seat of Longview (Lunatic) Asylum, a splen- did edifice that stands on rising ground to the east of the road, in full view of passing trains. Carthage may also be reached by Spring Grove Avenue, this point being considered the end of the drive from the city. It is ten miles from the Court House.
CASINO .- The name of a small building upon the summit of the highest hill in Eden Park, at an elevation of 420 feet above the level of the river, with its outliues sharply defined, it is quite a conspicuous object in the grand panoramic view of the park in this vicinity. It is also called the "Shelter," and by others the "Weather House." The view from the Casino is su- perb, embracing, as it does, the whole surrounding country.
CATHOLIC KNIGHTS OF AMERICA (See Knights of America).

owners of the Cemetery of Spring Grove, the most beauti- ful in the country, was begun on the 14th of April, 1844, when a number of the leading citizens of Cincinnati assembled, and appointed a committee to select a site. The old Garrard farm, of 160 acres, was chosen, and on the 21st of January following the society was incorporated. To place it upon a firm basis, two hundred citizens subscribed one hundred dollars each, for which they were entitled to select a lot fifty feet square. In February, 1845, in memory of the springs and groves, the farm was named Spring Grove, and consecrated on the 28th day of August, in the same year. The original design for the improve- ment of the grounds was prepared by the late Mr. John Notman, who also planned Laurel Hill Cemetery, near Philadelphia ; but the chief, and most characteristic improvements have been made since 1855. It is from this period that the present lawn- landscape style dates ; and within it all the hedges and iron and stone iuclosures have been removed. Its green slopes and wooded levels, its stately avenues and beautiful monuments, shrubberies and flowers, now form component parts of one great whole, unobstructed by fences, and diversified by quiet lakes. To the original purchase 434 acres have been added, at a cost of $330,000, thus forming at once a peaceful resting place for the dead, and a beautiful park for the living. During the last year, indeed, more than 170,000 people have visited the grounds, not including those attendant upon funerals. For the last financial year, the total receipts were $56,690, the expenditures $55,635. During the year, 141 lots, of a total area of 85,672 feet were sold; 104 vault permits issued, and 1,368 burial permits. At the same date, 5,181 single graves were occupied, and 996 soldiers' graves in soldiers' lots. The total interments were then 31,588, and the number of lot-holders 6,855. The immediate available resources were $141,618. The price of the lots varies from thirty cents to forty cents and fifty cents per square foot. Head- stones for graves, except in special cases of fine art work, are not allowed to be more than two feet high, and trees and shrubs must be five feet within the boundary of the lot. Every mem- ber of the corporation has a family ticket, and may introduce strangers. Special tickets are issued at the Secretary's office, Pike's Opera-house. The fees for opening and closing a grave range from $2.50 to $4.50, according to length ; for a family vault, according to time ; for a brick grave, from $10 to $20. For depos- iting a body in the public vault a permit must be obtained from the Secretary's office. The fees range from seventy five cents to $1.50, according to age. No remains of a person dying of a con-

tagious discase arc admitted to this vault. The total charges for a single grave range from $6 for a child, to $10 for an adult.
The Sceretary's office, at No. 2 Pike's Opera building, closes at six in the evening from April to October, and at five for the rest
of the year. The engravings illustrate the Entrance, the Lake, and the Dexter Monument.
In the Old World, two of the most famous and largest ceme- teries are the Pere la Chaise, in France, and the Groves at Scutari, where the remains of tens of thousands of Mnssulmans lie buried. These are now part and parcel of history, for they have entombed many generations. The simple tomb so recently

repaired, where Abelard and Eloise sleep together, is one of the shrines of Pere la Chaise. Upon the anniversary of the funeral thousands upon thousands of Parisians flock to the spot to gar- land it with flowers and crowns of immortelles. The curators of the ground say that the grave of these lovers is almost the only one which has been visited and mourned over and decorated with unvarying constancy during all the pro- cession of years. Scores of Frenchmen have told the tale of their endearments and their griefs, the learning of Abelard and the piety of Eloise, and English readers will find their memory embalmed in Alexander Pope's epistle from Eloise, as passionate and pathetic as any that Ovid ever wrote for his imaginary heroines. There is a tomb similarly honored at Sentari. It is that of the beautiful Fatima, the wife of a great and wealthy follower of Moham- med who died in the sixteenth century. He was a warrior, as Abelard had been a monk; both indeed had fought: the one with the cimeter, the other with the weapons of the fiercest and sharpest polemics.
The dead of Spring Grove sleep under a landscape of cqual beauty with either of these. Their names are not so world-wide as those of Eloise or Fatima, but they, too, have fought their fight. There are among them the bones of soldiers who fell for their country, and the dust of the leaders in the mighty army of those who have lead the JUNGLE vanguard of peaceful progress. The broad and beautiful Avenue, with its magnificent trees, brings the living and the dead alike to the final abode of rest and release from strife and contention, where there are laurels and roses for the blue, lilies and myrtles for the gray. After generations have passed away, the massy granite, embedded in green turf, shaded by trees then venerable with age, and embosomed in flowers, may look

down upon the graves of many whose lives have beeu as romantic, if not so sad, as Eloise's-as deeply loved as Fatima's. Then some poct, like Pope, or some noble romancer, like Scott, will arise, and in another Epistle, or another "Old Mortality," tell the tale of those who are gone.
The engravings present four views, the first the grand entrance, the second the beautifully designed Dexter Mausoleum, the third the lake, and the fourth a landscape, giving a more extended view, aud presenting features of the whole. A mere glance at them is sufficient to prove that art has lent some of her noblest efforts to blend with the charms of nature.
