HE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1872. 1 “THE SANDS. " A North Side Dark Cormer Twenty-tour Tears % Ago. How the Buffalo Light-House Keeper Came to Chicago, and His Latest ht-House. “The Shore Accretions--How $150 Became $160,000--And Other Matters Thereunto Appertaining. Did jou ever Fear fell of “the Sands?” No? Then your sources of information lacked the local police reports of twenty-four years ago, which is o much perhaps to your benefit, and a lack we do mot set out to supply. Dut “ tho |- Bands” were an institution that belong to one of the darker.peges of our city annals. And if there were no shadows how could wo possess the - high Iights in our pictures of humanity. Society most have -its outcasts. God help them. All *. slongside the bright, leeping, bankfull flood of the wenlth, the health, the parity, and religion, and highest form of -enjoyment humanity can know in enlightened commaunities, flows the dark, noisome, snd melsncholy current fed by bhuman purlieus end slums. The debased man, -the degraded woman, the shattered and broken ‘wrecks of a better past ; and, saddest of 2ll, the _'Little ones foredoomed and predestined to a birth in vice, and an eadly training in iniquity. We pity the msn who can go among the outcasts of society without o " deep sadness in his heart, or who can write of - them and pick dreary puns out-of their misery. It is one of the solemn mysteries of Divine deal- "ing with His creatures, how the outcast shall . stand before his Maker and be adjudged beside ‘his more fortunate fellow-men. \_When the young city of Chicago began, well along in the forties, to take on the semblance of | city existence, the forlorn population, whose * only vocation swings between vagabondage and brigandage, had s hard timeof it. Every real estate owner looked to sell hislot, or take up a sudden fortune from,his subdivision immedi- - ately, and there was & vigorous sweeping and shaking out of impediments in the way of un- | desirable neighbors. 8o the low saloon-keeper, ‘the shonlder-hitter, the harlot, and the rest of the hideous caravan were driven.from pillar to post, until suddenly they came down upon *thé Sands,” es the housemnid deposits a pan of sweepings beside the alley fence. c You mey imsgine it wes a choice neighbor- hood. If it wes not s popnlar one, it was speedi- ly populons. Shanties grew up in a night in long ranges. Old rejected wooden tenements crawled awsy from the early march of develop- ‘ment on the North Side, and set up for them- selves, and presently swarmed like carrion car- cases on ‘‘the Bands.” Everybody was a squat- - ter. Nobody paid sny rent. Nobody ever sent | to ““the Bands " for any collections of water tax, nor gas, nor pew rent, nor church rate. It was an Acadia of the antipodes order. From 1844, for twelve yedrs, these desert Arabs of Chicago lived on an area of yellow sand that drifted about and into their shanties,.was pitilessly bleak in Mackinaw breezes, and shone blindingly in the sunimer suns, And what were the Sands? The carrents have . always carried s wash of sand sonthwardly slong this shore of the luke to be caught st any projecting point or pier, a pro- oess going on all along the shoro to- sy wherever any land proprietor is disposed to push ovt a pier oreven a pile of brush into the lake. Inthe elder day, when the shoro was ree of obstructions, as the old maps will show, the Narth Bide hed sctually the impudence by the agancralthissand-driftdo~push—a-spit of - gand sheer aéross the mouth of the Chicago River, extending several blocks sonth of the pregent river line. Ofice a huntsman chased dovwn and shot & fox at the end of this spit, and + Roynard in his dying sgonies might have taken his ‘parting look squarely up Madison street, only ‘Madisdn street wasnot there, which was bad for the fox-; for if there had been a Madison street, the spit would have been done away with long before, and the fox could not have met his desth there,—Q. E. D. Trwenty years later than this fox came sly George Bates to the end of this same spit, at that time just tnder the great Hlinois Central depot, which he clamed as & part bf the North Side. But he met the fate of the other fok, 28 you remember. - The time csme to shut off the North Side spit. In 1834, in the .month of February, Lieutenant Allen;,_U. B. A, was advertising in John Cal- houn’s Democrat for timber for piers. Before October,, with the work of 100 men, he built two lines of wooden breakwater, confining the river channel siraigat out into the lake. TFebruary of 1835 & greatfreshet cut away deeply the sand from between these piers. The Chicago River was cpened, and arrivals began. Two years pre- vicus, the small schooner that brought the row venersble Captain Hugunin toChicago had been sctually hauled ucross this disgusting spit with six yoke of oxen. There was & lake arrival for you. Asthe first token of the marine * good time coming,” the *‘splendid schooner Ilinois drove honest John Calhioun into & spasm of job .type, when OCaptain Pickering, of Seck- ett’s - Harbor, ought her —proudly u the stream, all flags fiying, and two hundre citizeng of our delighted city on board, who, yon may be,g:re, in careful heed that the schooner Tilinois should have water emough to float in, stontly abstained from drinkis en Lisutenant Allen's drinking that fluid all iers were fin- ished, the sand’could not drift along the shore, and the v4at aceretions began, that bysubscauent extensions have carried the present light-house farinto the lake, snd added scveral hundred acres to the domeain of the North Side. Now, we ‘come to the Buffalo light-house Eeeper, who had for_ten years guided mariners in and out of the harbor of Buflalo, and seen s0 many departures “for Fort Dedrborn direct,” ‘thet, in 1898, bie set ont for that quarter him- self, leaving his gon, young Fernando, tolight the " lamps and keap the reficctors clean. So came W'xf!i&m Jones into Chicago. Andhe hed, from his. light-house, too long watched shoro sceretiol not to do immediately the Sery wiss thing fio did do on awiving st ° Chicafo, for he bought for $150 the very outeide, shoremost lot of fifty feet, on the north side of tho river, and having dono this, be purchased a small Liouse on the south- east correr, of Bendolph and Dearborn streets, and .sent for the Jones family. He went into trade in 8 double front three-story wooden store, on the sodth side of South Water street, whero Jones & King opened a stove and hardware etore, - The other store, in the same building, was the fancydry goods store of Walter Kimball, the Field & Leiter's of that day, and Walter Kimball is sifll among us, able to pay for this advertisement if we send him the bill. In the third story was coiled up the long form of John Wentwortl, in 1836 Calhouu’s successor, tha new editor of the Democrat, making the ink fly on his first Ramage press, and on issuo days striding through the community, his own papcr- carrier, for Editor Wentworth had no idle super- numeraries, txd used even to bring young Fer- nando Jones into bis service as roller boy, on press dars, ospocially if tho edition xen ap to ty or seventy-fivo copies estra. Both Long John and Fernandc are yet amongus. The old Tight-houso kecper has gone. But hie did no go, «uetil true to Lis associations, he helped sct up & Pharos on our lake shore whose light will shine longer and farther than sny other beacon human - hands cen construct. It is called the Chicago University, which is proud to call William Jones its principal founder. When Lo came to gell Lis in 1857, the little £150, planted in the e turtle's egg, had becomo S160,000, paid bim by oo of oux shrevdoss capicaliste, e original lot will best be located asthe second one east of the cld MeCormick Reaper Factory. ~ At that time the shore accretions had esténd- ed the little fifty foot lot to eight or ten acres. W. B. Ogden's shore lots further north, received nearly the same extent of increase, and here were “the Sands.” We have shown how ifs I W ulation came down upon it like a bug of fleas, am B. Ogden has always beon largohearted toward his species, but “ the Sands” werg {0 wmuch for him. *‘Uncle Billy Jones ™ uged to ide over-in his buggy and eend an astoundsd 3aze over his Patzn, all grown up to buman ccaring man to sclect English for him suited to tho cergency. Had his pet Chicago Uni- versity been in operation, hie would probably have - carried over tho Greek Professor to hurl some of the sonorous hard-sound- iog . original Mcllenic at these singular sand-pipers. But “‘the Sands” grew and flourished in spito of Uncle Jones, and of Ogden’s mau with 2 musket, who actually es- tablished for a while his beat on St. Clair street until the unwholesome neighborhood became too many for him. “The Sands.” We shall not enter upon their description. Wo never followed Dante nor Mil- ton into hell. We believe that the most painfal office of the journalist is the common police_re- ort; mede the lowest when the grimace and ri- Pataly of the pen ara sat to deck human misers. When Molly Maguire is fined 82 to be worked out in & dirty calico dress in Bridewell, we are sorry that God did not meke poor Mary & happy wife and mother, blessed in unsullied woman- hood. But wers we disposed to line the picture, the festering vice and misery of ¢the Bands”™ would be no elight task in portraiture. It was a detached neighborhood of sin, a moral laZaar-spot set outside the feeble police of a young city. There was no ono to molest immorality, nor mako outrage afraid. The po- lice never patrolled there. Refugees from Sher- iffy’ processes were safe. It was & neighborhood suro to attract the stray sailor, the country geenhoxjn ““eeing life,” the innocent gull from e interior, the low and the vile, and the idly cm;mm, taking the shortest route to become oth, - _The police reports frequently got a contribu- tion of items from “tho Sands,” notunfrequently ahorror. Dead bodies were found floating in the lake, or stark in the streets, and the mur- derers were traced to “‘tho Sands.” Missing men were lnst followed to this heunt, and never came back. Johnny Raw emerged of these precincts to ~ wail the loss of his silver watch and thin wallet. ~Johnny Green once came upon & citizen in a North Sido street in a November night, clad in & few inches of shirt collar, thus kicked out of & horrible bagnio. The deviluses cheap bait for gudgeons. TFinally, “the Sands” became too much for community, and Tong John, he of the third story of Uncle Jones' South Water street bnild- ing, had come to be Mayor in 1856. Meanvhile, the absoluto peril of thé property occupied, had frightened the firoperty-mmers into strenuouns ‘measures, and the end of the processes of law Dhad been reached. On ono bright October day came the Nemesis of “tho Sands.” a stron posso of city police, who, backing the proceed- ings of civil officers, proceeded to tear down the shanties of the squatters, and level for- ever the haunts of the infamous denizens. y the _work went on. Tho males beaten and held back by the presence of the police, only scowled and swore between their teoth. The women, however, claiming & fran- chise of their sex not the invention of modern friends of Woman's Rights, opencd the vials of their wrath. So there was swearing and howl- irg and & cascading of tempestuous epithets, and the cries of poor frightened little children ,and the roar of the devouring element, and the Meyor striding to and fro, the towering deity of that day’s battle. All this time the sun poured down upon tho sellow sand, and tho blue waters danced along the shore and 2ll the forces of nature went on, as they always go on, disregarding alike human misery and human happiness, and when tho egun went down ‘‘the Sands™ were gono forever, and there only remained an echo of the inquiry that seemed to haunt the night air: ‘¢ Tvhere shall we go?” Whereand how shall human vice and misery dwell among the homes of men, is the conundrum of the ages— Beparato and apart, to fester tho more rapidly into stages that alarm society; or finding coverts whero they can, distributed, sls, like other vermin ? The former was tried on * the Sands ” and failed. The latter fills the police records of to-day, and overy day. What shall we do with the vico among us? We turn from the old, pain- ful pictare of *the Sands” to Uncle Billy Jones' Iatest lighthouse, lifting its tall campanile above tho trees of Douglas Grove, and to_the sanctu- aries of our growing city, and if the Universi- ties and Churches of the land cannot answer the question, we cannot, and thatis the end of the matter. The shore accretions to-day for the first fow blocks north of the river are indented deeply by the canals of the great Dock Company, lined with heavy wharfing and manufacturing busi- ness. The great Lake Shore Drive will present- Iy come down from Lincoln Park to Ohio strect, and at that point the beautiful residence section of the North Side i3 to begin. The North Side alone of all the divisions of the.city hasa Lake shore, and & few years will locate tho homes of elegance and wealth all over, and around, and far beyond, the once forlorn patch that held the squalid misery and vice of “ tho THE RIGHT. Silent 1as been the night, and 0, £o long! With weary moon forever sailing wests . Save that a bird at midnight trilled a song, A dream of daylight, from his moonlit nest, The hills lay couched in slumber, range on range, The earth was foating in a eilver web,— That mystery of calm before a change ! That Jull of waters st the lowest ebb ! Some drowsy notes were all the bird could sing, Soft as the scattered drops of summer dew ; Then, hushed within the quiet of his wing, He sang no more; but now the dream comes troe, A thrill rups throngh the spaces of the night, And flutters on {hiewavy eastern line; ‘Berond the stars dilates 5 distant light, The luminous outflow of a day divine. With elow approach it deepens into gloom— Faint jasmine yellow, with o flush of rose; And, brightening till it makes the stars 3 gloom, Oer all the long uncertainty it flows, What thongh the perfect day is yet unborn ! Sweet was the carolled vision of the bird ; Glad are the tidal calors of the morn, And Heaven is pledged without 1 singlo word. ‘The waves of light are breaking on the shore, Pulsing in cadence to a mightier flow— The strong uplift of nobler hopes before, The great new future rising in the glow. Above the hills surges the doy ot last, The Jonged-for day, efulgent, high, and wide; turn, gray carth, and leave the darkened past, And swing thyself upon the incoming tide 1 —November Atlanti Superstition in France. The Journal des Debals reports e case just tried before the Police Court at Blane, which does not give a favorable idea of the state of ed- ucation among the couut pe?,ple of Touraine. 1t appears that on the 28th of July lasta fright- ful storm laid waste the Commune of La Chatre Langin, in the canton of Saint Benoit-du-Sault. The 1nhabitants believed that if their cure, M. Sandon, had performed certain roligious rites, and more especially that if ho had brought out the cross used in processions, he might have checked the tempest. They proceeded to the church, and, entering it in a riotous and threat- ening manner, interrupted the celebration of mags. The cure escaped to the vestry-room, and while he was there the mob broke into his house and threw his property out of the win- dows. They also attacked persons who took his art, and eaid thoy wanted “to kill the curato gcc:mss he had been the cause of the bail.” 1. Vauzelade, a municipal councillor, had the cour- age to go to tho assistance of tho gurate, but tho garde champelre_prudently kept his own house while the riot lasted. Ten women and four men were brought before the Gourt. Their counsel, M. Remilly, pleaded that they were ignorant and superstitious. TFive of the accused were found guilty of having interrupted religions services, Tecognized by Iaw, and of having insulted a min- ister of public worship while performing his religious duties, and of having_struck Mile. ZEglantine Chabenet and M. Vauzelade. Five of the accused were sentenced to undergo impris- onment for thres months, and to pay o fine of twenty-five francs; two were sentenced to six days’ imprisonment, and to pay 2 fine of sixteen francs ; two to two ‘days’ imprisonment, and a fine of sixteen francs ; and o fifth, for having committed an assault, was fined twenty-five francs. The four women were acquitted. The Centre of Population. A good and curions work has been done hy Professor Hilgard, of the Coast Burvey, in con- nection with fixing the “centre of population” in the- United States at different periods by means of the several census reports. Asthe “ centre of gravity” becomes & fised point, 80 does Professor Hilgard fix tho centre of popula- tion, demonstrating that it is constantly moving forther westwaid.” In 1840 fhis paint was adi- cent to the foof of the Cumberland Moun. 4nins in Virginia; in 1830 it was moved westwardly sixty-seven miles to the south of Terkersburg, stil in YVirginia; in 1860 it has got a8 far west, about eighty-two miles. as & place south of Chillicothe, Ghio, not far distant from the boundary of Virginia end Kentucky in 1670 it has still ¢ gond west,” but not so rapidly a8 in cither of the preceeding ten years, it having moved only forty-five miles, and is now at Wilmington, in Clinton County, Ohio. The Professor deduces from his very carious cal culations, thatin the year 1900 the centra of population will be near Bloomington, Indians, about forty-five miles southivest of Indianapolis. weeds. aud joos auxiously around for some Real estate speculators who are looking for. lmi'e roturns about the year 1900 will consequently {ake notice, ¥ DOMESTICS. Absolutely Neeessary to Sue- cessfull Houseleep= ing. Irish, Scandinavian, German, and American Ser= vants. Their Characteristics and Ele- ments of TUseful- ness. ‘Wages and Treatment Accorded “Help” in Chicago. ‘* One-half the world does not know how the other half lives,” is a saying almost too trite for repetition. But it is not only true in regard to nations, butholds good in respect of classes and individuals. The tendency of civilization is to more minute classifieation. Society, with its many occupations, trades, and guilds, wears it- self into deeper and deeper ruts as time pro- gresses. The older the country, the plainer are the lines of division and the more marked tho distinetive features. People having & common interest become clannish, and separate them- selves in a measure from the rest of mankind. The peculiarities of any trade becomo in time incisive peculiarities of mind- and manner char~ acteristic of the occupation. With separation into classes come mutual ignorance and forget- fulness, and people who are differently occupied drift farther and farther apart. The lawyer and the merchant know little about the mode of life and thought of the bricklayer and carpentet, and care even less. When Bridget brings theboarder at the morning meal, the tepid coffee, the fibrous steak, or the suspected egg, she scarce swaliens a passing thought of her personality. She fades from bis sight, an undelightful vision, with tangled hair and soiled calico, leaving only & sense of injuries received at the hands of the landlady, which soon vanishes, because he ig so accustomed to his wrongs. The young man with the tube-rose in his buttonhole cares little for the unsavory boy who brings him, at his res- taurant, the midday roast beof with its vegeta- Dle gamnish. If there happens to be an error in the viands, or a slip in the mode of service, he merely emits a fashionable anathems, and stares the porson of foul linen, greasy napkin, and generally untidy habit out of his sight and out of thought. But all these people have an individu- =i existence, and their relations to the restof tho world are real and important. Comparative- Iy few peoplo havo occesion to think of servants except in the most.casual manper, and when they turn their attention in that humble direc- tion it is often_with an execration, thought, if not uttered. It is the housekecper who lias to deal directly with the “help,” to whom the quantity and quality of handmaidens is a matter of serious concern. To tho mother of the family, to the lady of the mansion, the laws that regulate the domestic supply and demaud aro of greut economic sig~ nificance. According to her light she deals with the problem, and evolves from it such results as aro to her possible. Of so great importance has the guestion of Lonsebold eervants become, that social writers have turned their attention to the matter, and furnished exhaustive papers on the subject, The topic has been discussed during tho past year in & score of maguzine articles of unequal “ability. Theao sketches are largely made up of anecdotes showing the vagaries of waiting-maids, theunparalleled tyranny of cooks, the frivolous and untrustworthy character of nurses, and they usually end with doleful ele- incs, in which the decay of domestic disciplina 1s lamonted, and the dissppearance of the typical gervant-girl from the face of the earth deplored. THE SUPPLY OF SERVANT-GIRLS igseldom oqual to the demand. In Chicago, since the fire, thedisproportion has been greater than before. Tho tendency of all women who work for o living is more and more toward da; work. The work of a domesticis never finished. Sheo has little time that sho can call her own. The labor of the female compositor, bookbinder, saleswoman, or scamstress, i8 ended, or can b cnded, with' the dsy. Furthermore, the wages aro greater in these pursuits. In the occupations named & woman can earn from £6 to $12 a week, ‘while the best femsale cook never commands more than 85, and other grades of domestic labor are paid much less. New flelds of laborare everyyear opentowomen. Theyareinvitedtodo overything becéming to their sex that they can do a8 wellas men. Never have their been so many women employed &8 salewomen, composi- tors, bookbinders, or séamstresses than now. The carpet stores employ a large number, the binderies are all busy, and the clothing manu- facturers_furnish work for a great number. Chbarles P, Kellogg & Co. alope, afford occu- pation to 3,000 women. The tailors ‘give em- ployment to thousands more. How the pressuro would be removed from the domestic market were these avenues closed, can be easily perceived. z The intelligence agents are tho middlemen in the domestic market. Their offices sbound all over the city, but are found in the%rentcat num- ber on_State street. But they seldom have to deal with anything except ¢ Gecond girls,” and women who perform the coarsest menial labor. They are managed sometimes fairly, but oftener not. The girl desiring & place goos to the oflice, registers, pays her fea of one or two dollars, and » place if there happen to be enongh for the Brdzata o Hare preceded her, and a little surplus. The better servant girls never seek theintervention cf the intelligence offlce. Tts chiof patrons are the hotels and reataurants, and these are seldom in great need of any help, except scullions. First-class cooks, and maids- of-all-work, nevor nced look long for situations, There are pleasant places always waiting to receive them. IRISH SERVANT GIRLS are more numerous than any other. The poor class of Irish are born to eervitude, and accept the situation without question. With habits of submission for centuries have grown up littlo faults of dissimulation, and kindred vices pecaliar to the oppresged, "Bt Irish girls huvo many virtues. They flost. from place to place, according to the nead of their seryices, If helpis scarce ina certaincity, the Irish girls come inand supply the deficiency a8 natural as grain seoks the place of searcity, and prices seek to adjust them- selves to o general level. The representative of the class i called Bridget. Dridget is found doing all grades of domestic labor, in the cham- ber, the kitchen, the scullery, the nursery. She is quick-tempercd, linble o mistakes, and, if nof well taught. o continual trouble to a carefal mistress, The little vices of deceit appear occa- sionally, and the family consumption of tea, coffee, and cendles is found to be greater than could be ressonably expected. Bub Bridget makes a good servant when thoroughly trained, equally valueble in all departments of house. work. ~ She has the home feeling strong within Ler, and is capable of earmest attachment to members of the houschold in wl she is placed. This is e decided merit, and atones for many little sins. ~ A mis- tress will retain_ o servant who loves and cares for her children, although she cannot always believo her stories, and Bridgot treats ber beau to the titbits of the larder. Therc are ‘more Irish than German Bervant girlsin the city, and probably as mauy as of both the Swedes an Norwegians combined. ~They naturally prefer the city, because it has in it their Church, and many of their friends. If they accept servicsin the suburbs, or in the _country, it is only with the extra inducements of o good home and bet- tor pay, and even then tho tenure of service is likely to bo brief. Bridget is eminently a social being, and likes fo recieve her beau in the kitch- en, o better still, in the dining-room, & place sa- crod to good order in the eyes of most mistresses. With the indulgenco of a beau, fair wages, and certain littlo concessions which any sensible Tousekeeper should be willing to make, the Irish irl i fonnd to be & good servant, and can be ong retained in the same household. SWEDISH AND NOBWEGLAN SELVANT GINLS are plenty in tho city, and have their peculiar merits. They generally come here from the many colonies ju this and the adjoining States, although occasionally one is found serving in & Dousehold who hes just drifted to our ehores. The representetive Scandinavian handmaiden is good tempered, fair-laired, clephantine, nnd Consequently cumbersome in family duties when unpracticed. Whon cducated up to a certain point she assimilates herself easily and naturally to tho varring exigencies of domestic duty; is neat, diligant, capablo, thongh ususlly phlogm. atic. A sort of native obstinacy frequently crops out in untaught girls, which is snnoving to & | with mistress, but can be managed by skillful treat- ment. The Scandinavian housemaid also likes to have her beau in the dining-room or kitchen, and if she cannot accomplish this, compromises by receiving him at the alley gate, and walkin, with him surreptitiously in the shady ways o the neighborhood. She is also _ Some- times secen conversing with the policeman at the sven gate, aad whon reproved says that she was looking for the milkman. The Scendi- navian hes much tolearn when she first euters a family 15 servant, but onco taught in culinia: mysteries she is _equal to the best. : Tho diffi- culty is in kesping her long, as she is liable to ‘marry at any time, and set up for hergelf with a husband on somo little patch of prairie orclear- ing in the backwoods. 5 GERIMAN GIRLS. There are in this city perhaps half as meny German servaut girls a8 girls of Irish oxtrec- tion. They axe much sought after by certrin people because they ave kind, patient, truthful, thoroughly reliable, and accustomed . to herd work. They are almost always Protestants, onother olement of de- sirability ~ which adds to their value religious familics. They _come from families that have been many years in this country, end are largely sufpued by German familiés living in the city. Tho typical German servant girl is known as Grotchen, = Sheis found in oll spheres of domestic servitude, and if trained, 18 valuable wherever placed. The era of Gretchen's ignorance is rapidly passing avway. Sho is begining to understand her business, and has learned enough of the language to compre- hond what is wanted when ~couched in simple English. Like her nation, she is slow, ‘but when once started on her mission, is reason- ably aure. When doprived of her wooden shoes, her essentially Gorman habits of life and cook- ery, she becomes in a measure Americanized. She is abont a8 available help as can be found. Yet people have their prejudices, and there are not wanting persons, who, impatient of the heaviness of her heaviness, will have none but the Irieh domestic, no matter what her faults may be. AMERICAN GIRLS. g When the American girl arrives at years of maturity, and is thrown upon her own resonrees, if her hair does not fall in ringlets, she arranges a spit-curl upon either cheek-bone and goes to toaching school. If she has not sufficient edu- cation for 8o honorablo an occupation, ehe drifts to the city and_secks emgluyment in ‘one of the many occupations we have mentioned above. Her native American spirit of independence re- volts at the ides of the stow-pan, the broom, or the scrubbing-brush manipulated in the interest of another. ~ Occasionally she takes service, in the country, but only with ‘“a friend of the family,” 2t Whose table sho sits, not as the hired help, but as an honored guest. In the early dnys of our social simplicity the proportions of American_servants to the entira population Wes much grester than it is ot pres- ent. Then gradations of society were littlo known, and the servants were the companions of tho family, to whom they were scarcaly inferior in intcmfince and position. But we have changed that. The American girl is driven from the family to eolitude, and other means of support. No American girl of real worth sc- cepts the place of a servant ina city family. "There arc native sorvants, but they are almost invariably from low and wortbloss families, ind heave not learned pmperl the first rudiments of housckecping. They take with them into their new sphero the slatfernly habitsof their child- hood, nd their hopeless ignorance of domestic duties. They are also possessed of a vulgar spirit of independence, and a childish impatienco that results in froquent trouble. The American servant girl i8 rare, and it would be a good thing if she were rater, unless of o higher type. A really good nativo domestic, with all the desirable qualifi- cations, would, with Ler American brightness and adaptability, be invaluable. i LADIES CHRISTIAN UNION. The Ladies Christian Union has been doing & go0d worlk since the fire in supplying good help %o American familics. They were first drawn into it in the way of charity, their object being to provido homes for poor women, but the fvider sfihe:‘c of usefulness was opened to them, nnd they accepted the situation. They were further moved to their excellent work by.the knowledge that the intelligence oflices arcin the habit of fleocing these poor victims, and not infrequently sending them to baguios, for occupation, the ludies ~of the demi-monde having no other mesns of obtaining help. Sinco the fire they have found places for 1,600 girls, no bonus boing asked for the inter- modiate eorvices rendered, Theirrooms are No. 97 Randolpl strect, in Jackson's Building. Tho bureau is In chargo of Miss Miller, who is'assist- ed by Mies Dyer, o lady of much experience in cleomosynary work. - HOTELS AND RESTAURANTS. ‘\ The help at hotels consists of dining-room waitere, cooks, pantry-girls, luundry-womer, bell-boys and _gcrub-women. ' Most of the Lo- tols employ colored boys in the dining room. A few of the hotels employ girls for similarservico. The restaurants generaily have black boya for Ganymedcs, and girls for other menial duties. All have white cools, most of whom are Germans, with here and there a real Fremchman. The first-class hotels seldom complain of the scarcity of black boys, for tho places are desirable, and when the waiters are once in thom they are glod to stay. The dutics of waitor at the restaurants are more arduous, and, therefore, changes aro more froquent. The intersention of the ntelli- gence office is only asked by hotels and restan- rants when they want scrubbing girls, or pantry girls. A ronlly excellent servant rarely seeks o situation at an intellizence ofiice, and is rately songht for by ahousckeoper at one. The Sher- man Houso employa about 60 servants of all kinds; tho Tremont House sbout 50; ths Gardnor House about the ame number, end the other places in proportion. The otels and restaurants of the city give employment to bout 600 servants of the various grades of Inbor. They have to bo mancged discrectly by some judicious person. Whel this iu done there is littie difficulty in rotaining them, or extract- ing from them the maximum of work. TOW BERVANTS AIE TREATED. The servant_girl is_treated personally with more or less kindness by the mistress. But lit- tlo is thouglt of her comfort or convenience. She ia sent to the attic or the basement to sleep in & room scantily furnished, and destitute of s fire. Bridget rends her prayer-book befora retiring, sitting in o bottomless chair, and_kneels at her nightly devotions on & cold, uncarpeted floor. The luxury of a bean i8 denied her. The mistress frowns upon the company of all her servants, and resents their presence 28 an intrusion. She orders the dining-room to be closed at a cerlain hour, forcing the domestics into the kitchen. Evon'in this remote rotret, fires and lights must be out at a very enly hour, and there 13 no retreat but tho garret. The home foeling is, snd must be, with such man- agoment, & stianger to the breast of the sor- vent girl. A cheractoristic anecdote is_told of the lato Mrs. Robert Laird Collier. Not long Deforo her death she was showing somo friends through tho various rooms of ber prefty resi- denco. Eversthing was in perfect order, and much admired, but there was an even elegance throughout that excited some surprise. **But whero are your servants’ apartments?” asked one” of the ladies. “ We have just Jeft them,” she replied quietly. - *But theso rooms are good enough for any guests,” the Iady snid, in some astonish- ment.” #And why should they not bo?" re- sponded Mrs, Colliér. -The answer showed her thoughtful regord to the convenience of others, and was a key to_her whole character. We seo no solution for the domestic problem but better wages, and & moro affectionate care of ervants, and regard for their welfare. - _THE WAGES OF EELP of various kinds is appended.

It is a long way up, and the stors are worn and old; mik lions of feet have mado great creases in them. Suddenly you stagzer ont upon & wide platform, and Paria, threaded by tho curving Seine, Paris, with its hundred paluces, its giant avenucs, its vast towers, its glorious” parks, lies spread be- fore you. You feel us if breathing & purer air; you are of tho world, yet soparated from it. You are elated, jnbilant, cxalted. The hum and din of tho great capital smites but gently upon your ears. A strong thnill of excitement Tuns through you as yor press to the outer rail- ing, and look down from the dizzy leight from the place below. Are these aufs crawling on their anthill, or are they reelly men in the mar- ket-place? As vou get tired, and seek a 8pot to repcse, tho old woman who lias her home in 8 little honse in the belfrv. invites vou to & nlace on a rustic bench. Do :heT drink beer then on the Cathedral'stop ? Oh! yes, indeed, Mon- sieur, and champagne, too, when perties come to seo the sun rise. It is quite the mode now in Paris, Mansieur, for bridal parties to come to the old tower here at early morning, to make s chamgagn ebreakfast, and to view the sunrise. There was one young lady here some months ago, poor darling ! who was so frightened ot some gargolyes which she saw on one of the gallery balconies thet she swooned, and was car- Tied down stairs, and home in o cab. Perhaps the good woman or her husband will g with you to see tho gargoyles, fantastic igures which serve at once as ornaments and uix\-s}mu(u, and which are as goblin-like and ghostly as figores in_a fairy tale. As you stand onone of the galleries overlooking the vast de- scent from the upper platform to one of the lower roors, you see ranged around. in rows, gigantic figures of dragons, hippogriffs, unnam- bie monsters and compounds of men and beasts in sportive or ferocious aftitudes. They seem to have suddenly descended from some unknown region of the air, and to have been as suddonly petrified. Among these enimals and mopsters stands the fi of o tell old man, cled in the garb of the Middle Ages, gazing outward into cther with o wild and puzzled expression upon his features. He shields his eyes with his hends, as if afraid to look too carelessly upon some unutterable glory, and his- long beard is blovn back by the wind.

The great black ants, that “come in aimies. and from whose dovastatiny march noither glass, metal, nor water can eave the tempting viand; the mosquitoes, flens, and chintzes, against whose merciless conspiracy neither * dungeons, bolts, nor bars ” can gave you; and, usif to make sleep a mockery, your spate room—which means the loft_and interstices of your building—are densely inhabited by rats, who by the thousand make night hideous with their continnous din of scratcbing and cluwing, above, around, and be- noath, until the weird and fantastic revel of Macbeth's witch sceno is natural harmony com- pared.

The number of installations is certainly increasing, though at a rate not very remakable.

Minton, a clergyman of tho Church of England, has been preaching in Lon- don in the pulpit of the Rev. Newman Hall, Congregationalist. Mr. Hall made a gracefal address in announcing the preacher, in which he said that Surrey Chapel had elways been open to the preachers of other churches, and that Scott, the commentator, Venn, and other Epigcopal- ians, had frequently assisted Rowland Hill in preaching common salvation. Mr. Minton preached from * Blessed aro the Peacemakers,” and boldly justified himself in the course he had taken; declaring that, though there wera legal obstacles in the way of a thorough fellowship betwoen the Episcopal and other churches, some churchmen were laboring with all their might to get these impediments removed. —Recent news from Geneva assures us that the Swiss Government is proceeding rigorousl; against M.

Ac- cordingly the Council of State prohibit M.

Tt saya: On hundred and sixt5-fivo years ego, Presbyterians within the bounds.of the present Synod of New York, outside of New England, were o fow ecatterod families in the city of Now York, who went from house to house holding meetings for mutnal comfort and strength. In January, 1707, s daylong to be remembered, tio Presbyterien ministers, the Rev. Francis’ Me- Kemie and the Rev. John Hampton, who had been performing missionary work in Virginia and Maryland, wived iu the city. This coming to tho ears of the Presbyterians, they got permission for Mr. McKemio to preach in the Dutch Church. “But before the time of ser- vice artived, our Dutch brethren, through fear of the wrath of Governor Cornbury, withdres their permission.
