COLORED ORPHAN ASYLUM.
This institution aims to accomplish for colored chil- dren the ends contemplated in kindred organizations. Its building is at Avondale. Statistics of its operations are not at hand.
CINCINNATI HOUSE OF REFUGE.
This institution was established in 1850. Its support is provided for by law, although its operations enlist the
180
THE CITY OF CINCINNATI.
sympathies of many who manifest their interest by sub- stantial tokens of regard. In the magnitude of its work and the great good accomplished by it, it yields to no other institution. It stands a monument to the mem- ory of the philanthropic citizens who urged its necessity, and saw after many years the consummation of their noble endeavors. Prominent among these gentlemen were William Burnet, Thomas J. Biggs, George Craw- ford, H. B. Curtis, Miles Greenwood, E. P. Langdon, William McCammon, Joseph Ray, Alphonso Taft, and Charles Thomas.
The object of the institution is the reformation of depraved and unmanageable children in the city of Cincinnati. The majority are sent here from the Police Court. In September, 1868, there were inmates one hundred and sixty boys and thirty-four girls. Their mental and moral training is of the best character, and a large number learn to excel in mechanical employ- ments. This labor, besides its reformatory influence, is a source of considerable income. Many leave the walls of this institution to rise rapidly in the social scale, and take their places as useful members of society.
Under the superintendence of H. A. Monfort, Esq., the House of Refuge is fulfilling the most sanguine hopes of its founders. No institution of its kind in the United States is better managed.
The buildings are situated in Millcreek Valley, one
181
THE CITY OF CINCINNATI.
mile north of corporation line. The buildings are of blue limestone, with windows, cornices, casings, and por- tico of white Dayton stone, and are erected in the Gre- cian style. The grounds belonging to the institution contain nine and seven-eighths acres, five and three- fourths of which are inclosed by a stone wall twenty feet high, within which stand all the buildings except the stable.
The "House" presents an imposing front of two hun- dred and seventy-seven feet, and is composed of a main building, eighty-five by fifty-five feet, four stories in height, with towers at the extremities projecting two feet in front, and which are five stories high, besides the basement. In the main building are the offices, superintendents' and officers' apartment, principal store- room, boys' hospitals and dispensary.
Extending north and south from the main building are two wings, each ninety-six by thirty-eight, with towers at the extremities projecting two feet in front and rear. The wings are four stories in height, and the towers five, besides the basement. The buildings will accommodate three hundred and fifty inmates, with the requisite officers.

THE CITY INFIRMARY
is a municipal institution, affording relief in the shape of coal, tickets to the Soup House, and admission into the City Infirmary. The office is on Plum Street, be- tween Seventh and Eighth. The buildings of the In- firmary are located on the Carthage road, eight and a half miles north of the city. The farm contains one hundred and sixty acres of beautifully rolling land. The spacious edifice, recently erected, is an ornament to its vicinity, and the position commands a fine view of the surrounding country.
Application for relief must be made to the overseers of the poor.
The Directors of the City Infirmary are Messrs. W. H. Watters, Ira Wood, and John Martin.

THE CINCINNATI HOSPITAL.
The object of this institution is to provide medical attendance for the sick poor of Cincinnati. Patients who are able to pay and non-residents incur a charge of five dollars per week for board, medicines, and treat- ment. The advancement of medical science is consulted in the provision of clinical lectures, to which all medi- cal students who have regularly matriculated in a medi- cal college may be admitted.
The government and control of the hospital is vested in a board of seven trustees, of which the Mayor of the city and the director of the City Infirmary, oldest in commission, are members ex-officio. One trustee is appointed by the Governor of the State, two by the Superior Court, and two by the Court of Common Pleas. The present board are-

This summary view is, of course, too limited to pre- sent a statement of all public charitable efforts in a city of the size of Cincinnati. No mention has been made of the widely-extended benevolent operations of the Masonic and other secret organizations, and the various trades' unions, through whose agencies large sums are spent in the alleviation of human suffering. The vast system of the Roman Catholics, who, within the archdiocese of Cincinnati, have two orphan asylums, two hospitals, and six charitable institutions of different kinds; the extensive efforts made within the bounds of the Episcopal Church and other Protestant denomi- nations, and other special methods, remain without full statistics or extended notice. Ample evidence has been given, however, that benevolent effort is wide-awake and effective in this great metropolis, and that, in this golden age of Charity, the Queen City may compare its record with any.

CHAPTER VII.
THE PRESS-CHAMBER OF COMMERCE-BOARD OF TRADE- LIBRARIES-LITERARY, SCIENTIFIC, AND SOCIAL ORGANI- ZATIONS.
INCINNATI may justly boast of the excellent quality and high tone of its daily press. Nowhere in the land, outside of New York, are newspapers conducted upon an equal scale of expense. The jour- nals of the Queen City challenge comparison the world over for beauty of typography and value of contents; while, as mediums of reaching the public, they rank higher with advertisers than those of any other city, New York alone excepted.
The Commercial is published in the quarto form, is independent in politics, and claims the largest circula- tion in the Mississippi Valley. No expense is spared in its service of the public, and it has performed most astonishing fcats in giving the earliest publicity to im- portant news. It keeps an impartial and sleepless eye upon current affairs. The Commercial is published by M. Halstead & Co., and is issued every morning in the week.
188
THE CITY OF CINCINNATI.
The Chronicle, an evening paper, is in the second year of its existence, and full of the energy and sprightliness of a vigorous youth. In the presentation of literary and scientific intelligence, with its general news, it is unsur- passed. The public spirit and sagacity of its publishers have entitled them to the remarkable success they have achieved. The Chronicle is Republican in politics.
The Enquirer, the Democratic organ, is one of the best conducted newspapers in the country. Liberal in spirit and enterprising in management, it wields enormous power throughout the South and West. Its conductors, Messrs. Faran & McLean, thoroughly understand the art of journalism, and produce a paper which may safely invite comparison.
The Gazette, Republican in politics, is now in the fifty-second year of its existence, and in the full tide of prosperity. Its various departments enlist first-class talent, and its influence in the formation of public opinion is immense. As a business newspaper it is in- valuable, its columns embodying all current facts and documents of commercial interest. Matter of permanent historical value which is constantly appearing, makes it most valuable for preservation.
The Times, published in the evening, is the oldest daily in Cincinnati with one exception, having been established in 1840. Its columns give evidence of un- ceasing care and vigilance in the publication of all
189
THE CITY OF CINCINNATI.
matters of general public interest. Independent of party, it seeks to fill all the requirements of a news- paper for the family circle. Its weekly edition has a circulation of nearly seventy thousand, and goes into every State and Territory in the Union.
To meet the wants of the large German citizenship, two dailies are published in the German language, every morning.
The Volksblatt, Republican in politics, is published by Hof & Hassaurek.
The Volksfreund, of the Democratic persuasion, is published by a stock company.
Each of the morning papers publish weekly editions.
The other papers and periodicals published in the city are here given :

The Christian Quarterly. Rev. W. T. Moore, Editor.
Cincinnati, with its numerous newspapers and peri- odicals, produces also, largely, literature of a more permanent character, ranking fourth among American cities in the manufacture of books. An immense capi- tal is embarked in the publishing business. Messrs. Wilson, Hinkle & Co., publish a series of text-books, of which over three million copies are sold annually. It is the largest publishing house of elementary school books in the world. The Methodist Book Concern publish over twenty-five hundred separate volumes, and turn out, under the supervision of the veteran printer, R. P. Thompson, work which can challenge comparison with the finest printing done in the Atlantic cities. The Elm Street Printing Company, besides other busi- ness, print more than twenty different periodicals, which distribute to the public annually over fifty million pages of reading matter.
THE CINCINNATI CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
This organization, which has attained such influence and prominence in its relations to the commerce of the United States, was established in 1839. The following board of officers was elected January 14, 1840 :

occupy a new building which, in convenience of ar- rangement, will be surpassed by none in the land.

GENERAL THEOLOGICAL AND RELIGIOUS LIBRARY.
The association controlling this collection was formed in 1864. Its object is to form a complete collection of religious literature, representing every creed and every shade of theological belief. An apartment in the edi- fice of the Mechanics Institute, on the corner of Sixth and Vine, is occupied at present. The library com- prises 3,800 volumes.
THE LAW LIBRARY,
one of the best in the country, is alluded to elsewhere.
The above embraces the principal collections in the city, though there are many others of minor impor- tance.
The limits of this volume will not suffice to mention, at length, the various associations, literary, scientific, social, and otherwise, which exist in Cincinnati, and give tone to public opinion and means of social im- provemeut. A few of these will, however, be noticed.
CINCINNATI HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.
This society was organized in 1843, Robert Buchanan being one of the most active of its originators. Its career has been a prosperous one, and its influence has been felt far and wide in the promotion of knowledge and achievements in the growth of fruits and flowers.
198
THE CITY OF CINCINNATI.
Exhibitions are held semi-annually. The President of the Society is W. P. Anderson, Esq.
ACADEMY OF MEDICINE.
This organization, formed in 1867, meets weekly, for the discussion of appropriate subjects, and for other objects of special interest to the medical profession. W. W. Dawson, M. D., is President.
THE HISTORICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY was organized in 1824, and has been of great value in preserving facts relative to the history of the West, and in subserving the interests of science and litera- ture generally. Robert Buchanan is its President.
THE OHIO MECHANICS INSTITUTE
was incorporated in 1829. It provides, annually, at a mere nominal cost, the best instruction in practical branches of knowledge for any who choose to partake of its benefits.
THE PIONEERS ASSOCIATION
is composed of the early settlers and those born here previous to July 4, 1812. It was organized in 1856, and celebrates, each year, the settlement of Ohio, upon the 6th of April, and the settlement of Cincinnati, upon the 26th of December. Thomas H. Yeatman is its President.
199
THE CITY OF CINCINNATI.
THE YOUNG MENS' GYMNASTIC ASSOCIATION is alluded to elsewhere in this volume.
THE GERMAN PIONEER ASSOCIATION
was organized in 1868, and now numbers about three hundred members. It publishes a monthly periodical, which will embody much valuable information in regard to pioneer history. Through the kindness of the officers of the society, the engraving of Cincinnati in 1802 has been furnished.
LANE SEMINARY
has long been a prominent institution of Cincinnati. Its early history made it known and famous throughout the country, associating with it the names of Rev. Dr. Ly- man Beecher, Rev. Dr. Thomas Biggs, Rev. Calvin E. Stowe, and others. Situated at Walnut Hills, it has made that locality marked as the point whence have gone forth hundreds of ministers who are now laboring in every quarter of the globe. The library is one of the best in the United States, containing about fifteen thousand volumes.
The present faculty consists of Rev. D. Howe Allen, Emeritus Professor of Systematic Theology ; Rev. Henry Smith, Professor of Sacred Rhetoric and Biblical Liter- ature; Rev. Henry A. Nelson, Professor of Systematic and Pastoral Theology; Rev. Edward D. Morris, Pro-
200

fessor of Ecclesiastical History and Church Polity, and Rev. Llewelyn J. Evans, Professor of Hebrew and Greek Exegesis.
Cincinnati may be proud of its provisions for the edu- cation of females. Among the many institutions of this kind may be mentioned the Wesleyan Female College, which is described elsewhere. Professor Lncius H. Bug- bee is now the President. Professor C. C. Bragdon occupies the chair of ancient languages.
THE MOUNT AUBURN YOUNG LADIES' INSTITUTE, established in 1856, has always held the first rank as a school of thorough culture and the best advantages. Its admirable location and facilities for its work con- tinue to attract to it a large number of pupils. Rev. A. J. Rowland is at the head of this institution.
THE CINCINNATI LITERARY CLUB,
John W. Herron, President; John M. Newton, Secre- tary, is well sustained. Besides this, there are the Burns, Davenport, Old Woodward, Shakspeare, St. Elmo, U. C. D. and Yale Clubs, all with hosts of friends, and enjoying a vigorous life. The association of Ger- man Turners wields great influence. The Allemania, Caledonia, and St. George Societies are well-known organizations.

THE CITY OF CINCINNATI.
The Männerchor, the Harmonic, Cecilia and other musical societies, which are amply supported, give evi- dence of cultivation and taste in the divine art.
This hasty survey will give but a glimpse at the social elements of Cincinnati. There is a high social, intel- lectual, and religious tone, and true public spirit. Its private collections of literature and art are famous, and in all that aids and adorns civilization, this great me- tropolis need not fear comparison with older American cities.
