The Second Number of the
is now before the public. A few words in reference to it may be necessary,
and but few shall suffice.
I have spared no pains in endeavoring to procure, for insertion, all the
names within the city, which ought to find place in a Directory ; and, if any
are omitted, which ought to have been inserted, such omission is attribu-
table to no fault on my part, but, rather, to the impossibility of obtaining
them. It is possible that a few omissions may have occurred, on account of
a squeamish, mawkish sense of personal dignity, indulged by certain indi-
viduals, which prevented them from subjecting themselves to the menial
degradation of knowing my business with them ; consequently, in such
cases, I have had to retire without the information sought for. Other cases
of omission may have occurred by the removal of a family, or business
man, from a location which I had not reached, to a location over which
I had passed; and, again, a few others, by the absence from home, of the
occupants of tenements.
One material defect in my last Directory is corrected in the present.
With but few exceptions the Christian name is given in full, with the mid-
dle name initials. Out of nearly nine thousand names, I believe that not
more than one hundred initial cases will be found.
On the subject of Statistics, and such other local matters as generally
precede the body of such publications as this, I must say that very little of,
the kind will be found in the present production. Nor have 1 been able to
discover any great use in them. They will do very well to make a small
place look big abroad, but
Beside, when a city of upwards of forty thousand inhabitants has been x
canvassed for a Directory by a single individual, he has no time left for
metagrabolizing statistics, previous to the work going to press. It is then
indispensable that the work be forthcoming, with the least possible delay.
Since the late numbering of the houses of the city, many vacant places
along the numbered streets, and within the numbered limits of those
streets, have been built up, in whole or in part; but these new buildings
being without numbers, I have put down to the name of the occupant, the
number which his house ought to have—and all he has to do is, to have the
same placed over his door.
I deem it a gratifying duty due from me to the business portion of the
gave my former effort to serve them in this way. Respectably numerous,
no doubt, were the defects of my last Directory. I have discovered some
myself,and have had others pointed out to me—by some in friendly man-
ner—by others in a spirit of brutality—some of which were properly attri-
b table to myself, and a goodly number to the printer. But from the rea
1*
sonable, charitable portion of the public, I have received every allowance
for not having performed—not merely a stupendous difficulty—but even an
utter impossibility——that of getting up a perfect Directory of the City of
are aware,though a still greater number are not; but the best comment,
or elucidation, having a bearing upon the case, is to be found in the fact,
that, last winter a couple of adventurers from Utopia, Terra Incognita, the
Moon, or somewhere else,descendants from a long ancestral train of Di-
rectory makers, most compassionately came on here, for the purpose of get-
ting up a perfect Directory, for us poor benighted heathen: but, having
advanced a short way in the good work, they suddenly abandoned it in ju-
dicious disgust, on account of the attendant difficulties, and then “putout”
for the land from whence they came.
But while I take great pleasure in bearing testimony to the liberality of
a large majority of the business men of this city, there is, nevertheless, a
small minority of costive souls—though by no means contemptable in num-
ber, in honor of whom I must excuse myself from speaking very lavishly.
While they do, in the main, as good a business as their more public
spirited neighbors, they yet cannot go to the paltry expense of one dollar,
once in every two or three years, for the convenience and accommodation
of the same community that sustains them so liberally! Acting upon the
presumption, that a Directory, to be complete, must include even their
names, as well as those of men of honor, they are not too fastidious to im-
pose upon the latter the expense of giving them publicity and noto-
riety; and thus they manage to get their unworthy names foisted,
as it were, by stealth, and in a manner no more honorable than veritable
theft, into society with the names of gentlemen. I mentioned the names of
about a dozen such cattle, who refused to patronize the last Directory, to
an honorable merchant on Main Street, and he observed : That were he
in my place he would leave all such out of the Directory; and that the
public, being apprized of the cause, would abundantly sustain me in such
justly merited exclusion. I have not carried out the suggestion on this
occasion: but if, in future, the names of such should be found “among the
missing,”—and which is by no means impossible, but withal highly prob-
able—I hope they will not consider themselves as slighted.
Finally: Notwithstanding the obvious, admitted, acknowledged difficul-
ties—not to say impossibility—of getting up a perfect Directory of this city,
I have yet had my maligners for not having turned out, in my former and
first effort, a specimen of ultra perfection. There is a species of biped,
somewhat resembling the human form, possessed of a high order of in-
stinct, but of little or no rationality, to whom Providence, by a seeming
oversight, omitted to impart souls! Their instinct is often mistaken for
reason, on account of the talent, or gift of loquacitywith which, like the
parrot, they are endowed. They form the link in the chain of Creation,
between the higher order of oran-outang, and the lower order of genuine
ebony African—and are designated by naturalistsand learned men, by the
appellation of “albino’s,” or white negroes. These, it is, who have been my
maligners and traducers. Like a certain domestic animal, they will revel
and gormandize upon offal and putrescences, in preference to sound, health-
ful aliment. Knowing nothing, they yet arrogate to themselves all wis-
dom and knowledge; and by way of shewing off their vast, unfathomable
profundity, condemn all that they do not understand, which is just every
thing possessed of the smallest degree of merit in its way. They irresis-
tably bring to mind a species of alchymist of yore—not those laudable al-
chymists who went about doing good, turning the baser metals into gold
by the mesmeric touch of the Philosopher’s Stone, thereby making every
body rich—but those other alchymists who, rejecting the pure oil of the
olive, were wont to traverse the country over, during cherry time, and ex-
plore all the nooks, recesses, and by-places around the country domicil,
in search for the cherry stones which had been deposited there, in small
masses, by the little children—from which to extract, according to their
notion, a most luscious, precious, delicious, nutricious sallad oil, for their
own consumption, and that of others of equally refined physical tastes with
themselves. I ask the public pardon for having made such voluminous re-
ference to this species of lusus nalurae—a thing I by no means would have
done, had it not been that I have actually detected two or three of them
clad in broadcloths of pretty good quality, and trying to ape the gentleman
—which gave them very much the appearance of the jack-daw in pea-
cock’s feathers, or of puss in boots. To such I dedicate the defects and
imperfections of the present compilation, with the unfeigned hope that
they may prove to them just so many literary cherry stones, from the in-
tellectual oil extracted from which, I hope they may flourish, and thrive,
and grow unwieldily corpulent. The more perfect portions of the present
work, I dedicate to gentlemen.
By the present charter, all that district of country contained
within the following limits constitutes the city of
to wit:—“Beginning at a point in the middle of the main
channel of the Mississippi river, due east of the south-east
corner of Saint George, in
west to the west line of Second Carondelet Avenue; thence
north with said west line of said Avenue to the north line of
Chouteau Avenue; thence northwardly in a direct line to the
mouth of Stoney Creek; thence due east to the middle of the
channel ofthe Mississippi river; thence southwardly with the
middle of the main channel of the Mississippi river to the place of beginning.”
The above described “district of country” is divided into
six wards, respectively bounded as follows:—
All that part of the city lying south of a line beginning on
the Mississippi river at the foot of Cedar-street; thence run-
ning westwardly along Cedar to Fourth; northwardly along
Fourth to Cerre; westwardlyalong Cerre to Twelfth; north-
wardly along Twelfth to Randolph; thencewestwardly along
Randolph-street to the western line of the city.
All the territory lying north of the First Ward, and south
of a line beginning on the Mississippi at the foot of Walnut-
street; running westwardly along Walnut to Seventh; north-
wardly along Seventh to Market; and westwardly along
Market to the western line of the city, constitutes the Second
Ward.
2
All the territory lying north of the Second Ward, and south
of a line commencing on the Mississippi at the foot of Locust;
running westward along Locust to Third; south along Third
to Olive; and westwardly along Olive to the city line, cousti-
tudes the Third Ward.
The territory lying north of the Third Ward, and south of a
line commencing on the Mississippi river at the foot of Green-
street; running westwardly along Green to Eighth; north along
Eighth to Morgan; and westwardly along Morgan to the city
limits, constitutes the Fourth Ward.
The territory lying north of the Fourth Ward, and south of
a line beginning on the Mississippi at the foot of Cherry-street;
running westwardly along Cherry to Broadway; northwardly
along Broadway to Wash; and westwardly along Wash to the
western boundary of the city, constitutes the Fifth Ward.
All the territory within the city limits, lying north of the
north boundary line of the Fifth Ward, constitutes the Sixth
Ward.
In all cases, the centres of the several streets above named are
the dividing lines between the several wards.
Note.—Of the streets numerically named, those from First to Eleventh inclu-
sive, are named by ordinance, “North First,” “Second,” &c., onthe north of
Market; and “South First,” “Second,” &c., on the south of Market; and the
streets from Twelfth to the westean limits of thecity are named “North and
“South,” above and below Washington-avenue. In the following, those dis-
tinctions are not made.
Several professions will occasionally be found abbreviated, for the purpose of
avoiding the doubling of a line; such.as LBRR, for laborer; CABMKR, for cabinet
maker; BLKSMTH, for blacksmith; CARP, for carpenter; BRKMKR, for brickma-
ker; &c., &c.; but the profession intended to be represented by the abbreviation
will be so obvious as hardly to require elucidation.
Note.-In the following, the directions are, for the most part, brief, plain,
intelligible, and to the point. I have striven to obtain the proper spelling of
names; and in searching for a name, the inquirer ought to know its proper
spelling. A person, for instance, looking for Commons, ought not to look among
the Cummins’s; for Neilson, among the Nelson’s; for Macdonough, or Mackoy,
among the McDonoughs and McCoys; for Walsh among the Welch’s and Welsh’s
and vice versa, and scores, or hundreds, of other like cases of synonymes as to
mere sound.
The cause of censure, in a large majority of cases, is attributable solely to the
want of a knowledge of the correct spelling of the name sought for; therefore,
you must know how to spell the name, else censure not if you do not find it;
mind this, in part, as you go along.
Observe, that the letters I and J, U and V, are not interchangeably arranged,
but I and U take the precedence of J and V.
Commercial School
This Institution, for the last six years, has been devoted to the
instruction of Gentlemen in
Double-Entry Book-Keeping,
upon principles practically adapted to business purposes, the
pupil being conducted through the bona fide operations of the
Counting-house, without a Text-book or Lecture.
N. B. The ability of each pupil to discharge the duties of an
Accountant, in charge of the most complicated books, or to sustain
an examination before a conimitte of accountants of his own
choosing, in every case, is guaranteed.
Tuition Fees in advance; the pupil having the reserved right
of reviewing, during life, free of charge.
Special attention given to those wishing instruction in Steamboat
Book-keeping, and just as practical a knowledge guaranteed
as can be obtained on any boat
Complicated entries adjusted, and counsel given in the
opening and closing of Books, either at the room, or place of
business.
The undersigned, pupils of Jonathan Jones, take great
pleasure in stating that many of us had attended other Schools,
previous to entering this Institute, without receiving any practical
knowledge of the science of Double-entry Book-keeping.
But after attending a full course, we found Mr. Jones’ mode of
instruction to differ in this important particular, viz: Each pupil
is conducted through the operations of the Counting-house,
by journalizing posting, and balancing from 20 to 30 sets of
Books, adapted to the precise forms used by us in actual business
—and we do most unequivocally declare it as our opinion,
from what we have seen, that any young gentleman of ordinary
business habits, can acquire just as thorough a knowledge of the
accountant’s duties under Mr. Jones’ instruction in four or six
weeks, as it is possible for him to obtain in the most extensive
business house in the same number of years. For further particulars,
enquire of us in person.

vember 1st
This Institution, one of the most useful female establishments
in this city, has been in successful operation for more
than a year, and in that period, has produced some of the most
elegant female writers in the west or elsewhere, and is now patronized
in a degree, unknown in chirogiaphic institutes in
this city, it being a deplorable fact, that the more solid and
useful branches have, heretofore, been most sadly neglected, in
the education of polite females; and the more frivolous and frequently
useless branches substituted in their stead. From
which circumstance, it is not uncommon to see a fine lady, otherwise
highly accomplished, hardly able to write her name intelligibly,
(being entirely ignorant of accounts;) whilst the
facility and ease with, which a lady may acquire those branches,
leaves them without even the shadow of an excuse.
English Grammar will be taught to Ladies in classes of twenty
or upwards, whenever organized.
Ladies and parents are invited to call, and examine the progress
of pupils for themselves.
Private lessons given to Ladies at their own residences, when
required.
Tuition Fees payable in advance.

Mathematical Institute
This Institution has been in successful operation
for one year, under the exclusive care of Charles
Stewart, who was Professor of Mathematics, for
four years, in one of the best colleges of Virginia.
In this Institute, all the branches of Mathematics,
together with Natural Philosophy, Mechanics, and As-
tronomy, are as thoroughly taught as they are in the
first colleges in the Union.
Special attention will be given to young Gentlemen,
wishing to qualify themselves for business operations,
during the evenings, from the first of October to the
first of April.
This Institute possesses peculiar advantages over
other Institutions of learning, in this:—that it enables
the student to devote his entire time to one branch of
study; thus enabling him to complete his Mathematical
course in one-fifth of the time required in our best
colleges.
P. S.—Two hours per day will be devoted to imparting
instruction, to young Ladies, in C. M. Ligget’s
Female Book-Keeping, Writing, and Stylographic Card
Marking Academy, No. 84 Fourth Street.
Commercial School,

Every man insured by this institution is thereby a member,
and has a vote in the choice of its directory, and a voice in the
control of its affairs. On receipt of his policy the member de-
posits his note for the premium, the amount of which depends
on the sum insured, and the class of the risk. On this deposit
note ten per cent. is paid down to meet expenses, and the bal-
ance remains liable to assessment for losses, according to its
amount, though not oftener than once in a year. Should this
ten percentage prove sufficient to meet losses, as well as ex-
penses, no further payment on the note is required during the
six years for which the policy runs; and whenever the mem-
ber retires he receives his note. The company is bound by its
policies for a term of six years; the insured, at his option, for
only thirty days. Nine-tenths of the capital of the company
remains in the hands of the insured, free of interest; but by
virtue of the charter, it is secured to answer assessments,
through a lien on the property insured, and the lots on which it
stands. To insure a building of the best class of risks, to the
amount of $1,000, the insured would give his note for $40, 10
per cent. of which paid in advance, $4, and $1 for the policy,
would make only $5 for his first payment. As the policy runs
six years, much personal trouble and anxiety are saved to the
assured in not being required to make annual renewals of the
insurance. The company insure two-thirds of the estimated
value of buildings, and one-half of personal property.
All communications with the Office may be addressed to the
