CHAPTER VIII.
ITEMS OF CAUTION AND NOTICE-HORSE-CAR ROUTES-FIRE- ALARM STATIONS-LINES OF OUTWARD TRAVEL-MISCEL- LANEOUS.
(HE stranger in any large city may avail himself of facilities which will soon make him entirely at home, and almost independent of the vague information to be obtained by asking questions. In Cincinnati, Williams & Co.'s Directory, prepared with great accuracy, and to be found at every hotel, will give almost all items of knowledge desired by the vis- itor.
No more than a word is needed here to caution per- sons against being imposed upon by the various " con- fidence games" which have been so often exposed. Pickpockets are emphatically a city "institution," and wherever there is a crowd, it is well to beware of them. Money should never be shown among strangers, and large sums should always be deposited in bank, or in other trustworthy hands.
All the banks and express offices require identifica- tion of persons drawing money or obtaining goods.

To our Friends and the Public:
Having removed to our splendid new five-story stone-front buildings, Nos. 85 and 87 Race Street, two doors south of the corner of Race and Pearl Streets, we take great pleasure in announcing to our numerous customers and friends, that we enter these new buildings with in- creased facilities every way for furnishing a large and well-selected stock of Groceries at the very lowest prices. Mr. R. M. BISHOP, the senior member of the firm, who will give his personal attention, as liereto- fore, to purchasing for the house, has had forty years' experience as a merchant, and twenty-two years of that time in the
Wholesale Grocery Business,
in this city, and we feel assured that he can and will buy our stock at such advantages as will enable us to sell at lower rates than houses that have not our experience or our facilities.
As the reputation of our house is so well established, we do not think it necessary to send solicitors or drummers through the coun- try, but prefer to give our customers the advantage of this very con- siderable expense, and we will do it with all who may send us their orders. All we ask is to give us a fair trial, and we feel confident that we will be able to give entire satisfaction.
Our stock of
TEAS, TOBACCOS, AND CIGARS
will always be found large and complete-selected with great care and purchased from first hands. This branch of our business will be under the special charge of one of the firm, and we feel confident we can offer inducements in these articles.
Call and see us at our New Stores, Nos. 85 & 87 Race Street,
and you will always receive a cordial welcome; but, if not convenient to visit the city, send us your orders, and you can rely upon their being promptly and satisfactorily filled.
Respectfully,
R. M. BISHOP & CO., S5 and 87 Race Street.

By ELIZABETH STUART PHELPS. $1.50.

The whole volume is full of life. It is a work of genius .- Examiner and Chronicle ( New York.)
