THE OLD YORK OP TODAY, Present CobUHUm of lhr> EeslUh l*f «sM» saka of tho Ann>rleat> &l«lroo»|l*. Thero can be uo doubt that ono of tho moat Intetrstlug towns of England Is tlio clly of York. There will bo found distributed iu a lavish manner what all tho wealth of America could not pu>*l- bly pnrchaTatir create. Indeed the fiamo may be said of every other country, for nowhero can wo bow reproduce tho marvelous architecture or tbe stained glass of tbo twelfth and thirteenth ecu* tnrJiw. and no town ism rich I D tbrvo uncqaaled works of tho past as tho (own j of York. That this is fully appreciated 1 by Americans is best set forth by tho fact that recently no less than S00 Americans rlsitcd York la ono glngla day. York minster is tbo king of English cathedrals. Apart, however, from tho cathedral, York bos a mnch greater nn tu ber cf churches as old and, intheirwuy, as remarkable as tho cathedral. What, however, seems t o tno most exceptional is not these ancient monuments, but thefrsurrouudings. Throughout Europe, in Loudon, Paris and elsowbert, me diaeval cathedrals, town hulls and other boil'lint;* still subsist, but tbey are sur- rounded by a framework of modern hon*ta and btrcets. At York, on tbo con trary, as at Frankfort, Nuremberg qnd few other continental towns, the streets nn well as thoebnrchos recall tho niiddla ages. York Is just theoppoBitotoHnll. Tbe latter town owes its very existence to its commercial capabilities, while York never WOH a commercial town. Hal) is a town which has absolutely nothing to show, yet it htm a pcpulatlon ot, more than 200,000 inhabitants, and many of Its citizens aro extremely wealthy. Holl fought for the parliament against King Charles, and Hull was celebrated fur its cruelty toward tho Catholics. York, ou tho contrary, fought for tbe king agniun tho parliament, and, as Catholics were not BO cruelly used in tho York prisons, tluy wero tent front York to Doll rtheu it was thought dust ratio to treat them mure handily Many very excellt ut fain ill en hnvo folected to rerddo in York, bnt thero aro very few largo fort ones. York is a town of poor gentlemen. Holl Is a town of wealthy vulgarians. York has religiously sought to preserro what is of hihtoriral and arti.stio valao; Hnll has rathlefsly destroyed ail that wan of no immediate buslmtirf m-c. The#o two towns, co clos-o to each otlier, const itnte excellent object lessons, illoitmtin'g tlio two great forren, tho two great currents of opinion, which for several centuries havo struggled against each other.— Philadelphia Telcurapb.
