These same eating houses, by the way, p-esented quits a meiancoly appesrance. Here and there might be seen # few discon. solate individuals, tryir, t» perauade themselves that they were eating quite « good Christmas dinner, and having 9 good time. Bu: the effort was evideutly a fail- ure. Se universal was the cry of turkey amoag the eaters, that the waiters, as a matter of course, set it down before them; and when one or two ‘daring fellows, without the slightest recard to time-hoporet custom, called for ‘roast beef,”’ the waiters looked aghast, and seemed as though they didn’t believe their ears. AnotherMass Meeting of Unemployed Work- men inthe Park.—Denunctation of the Re- Hef Associations a: Soup Kitchens. A meeting was held i the Park yesterday at aoon, pursuant to the following not ce :— A weeting will be heli at the Park on Christmas Day, at twelve o'clock. Peace and good will to all men. Come ove, come all, bigt an us reason together on adopt means for our Lenetit. citizens state of the poor, and to By reqnest of many At half-past twelve o'clock about three hundred per- ons had assembled, composed mostly of poor people, anda few who bad come out of curiosity. During the progress of the meeting the most violent denunciations were directed against the soup kitchens by some of the speakers, and their remarks were loudly applauded by ; the crowd. Hall, there being no tables or benches provided. ‘The speaking was from the steps of the City Nor wna there any organization, every man speaking on his j own hook, in utter disregard of those formalities usual on such oocasions. Mr. Jomy Pavi was the Grzt speaker. He aaid—Wo havo come together for the purpose of seeing what can be done for the poor. We have determined to confer, one with another, on this most important topic. I want you to distinctly understand that in what I say I have bo desire to lead this meeting to commit a riot. This {s not the object of the meeting, as we have come together to discuss the evils we labor under, and see what can be | done. We want to see what way there is to get out of the bondage in which we are placed, and to call on the Creator to help us in our hour of neod. The great difi- culty haa been, that we have looked to man, instead of appealing to God in this the hour of our tribulation. And what has man done for you’ Why he has taken the goods and labor of the poor and locked them up. But how, you ask, bas that beon done? Why, by the crea- tion of banks and paper money, which can be, and are, readered worthless when the speculators dosire it. And when this is done, it don’t affect the rich, but the poor— they, and they alone, suffer by the failure of the ba and the whole system results in th micery, want and degradation of the — yoo and we have come here to-day: to see wito! can be done. Banks, as you ull know, have been started ia every quarter of (be country, and on the first iutimation of any dificulty you fad them refasiog to redeem their notes, That they don’t all do this ia true; but what guarantee have we that any of them are safe? The men that owa them would see you starve betore they woutd put their hands in their pockets to relieve your wants. Now, we should see what can be done with thoae people, and what measures are best adapted to overthrow their infiuence; and to do this we need use noother means but those God and nature has given us. They say they are willing to help us, but is itso? What have they done? O! they have established soup houses for our benefit. Have they indeed? Now, who is there hers whe would eat thes soupt Is there any onehero? (* ‘ and lacguter ) No, of course not; no man soo! ofa freeman would take any of their (ood. Hers the speaker indulged in a strain of semi-religious sentiment, which was evitently not much relished by the crowd, ‘A geatleman with “a rich Irish brogue’’—Oh, tell us about the price of flour, and never mind yer religion. ‘The Speaker—Well, 1 ‘will teil you of what they are doing in the Klevonth ward. ‘They have organized what they call a relief association there, and at the head of it in a master builder, a man who is immensely rich, and who made his money from the labor of the poor; aad now, in gratitude {cr what they have done for him, he is willing to treat them to sone soup. The propher of ‘old put meal into bis pot; and if you want the.soup to be at ali tolerable add a little meal, it will do it good. Laughter.)

Why, 8 man might search a month without finding a trace of anything like meat. (laughter) If any man wants to become famous through all coming time let him start a soup kitchen. (Laughter.) It any of ‘are disposed to beg of these men you may do #0, but my Bible tells me that I must not beg or | cali any man master; and God says he will not see the righteous forsaken or their seed begging bread. These rich men themselves do not live on soup—they have nice roast turkey and cranberry sauce, and spring chicken aod oyster sauce, ‘and this from the money they make out of the poor, whom to satisfy after they have robbed them, they offer a concoction made from the very refuse of the market. But the Lordis in our midst and He will see to it that justice is done his people. Here the speaker rambled off to religiows subjects ain. “GP reeumed:—-Don't mind how these people talk, they will humbug you. We need not starve if wo do our du’ in this great rich republic we are compelled to pay ev for our water. Nothing is without its price, and thi atate of affairs has been brought about by the extrava- gance of the rich. : The orator was interrupted at thi of bis speech t appearance of madiers, whe por into the Park accom: panied by Shelton’s brase band, whose inspiring at is had evidently greater attractions for the crowd th: oracked voice aker, who, neverthe- less, still kept on declaiming with great energy to the few who remained behind. He continned—It has been said we could save money if we chose. but how are we it? These speculators have made flonr $12 a bar- rel, and potatoes 60 cents a peck, and butter 2a, 64, and 8s.'a pound. Now the Creator’ has given me a desi for those things, and I must gratify that desire, and if I do 80 how am I to seve money. The speaker was here interrupted by a police officer, who desired him to desist, ae his remarks might lead to ariot. This produced great excitement in the crowd, who loudly called on the speaker to goon. Paul, how: ‘ver, left the steps, and accompa: the officer to the dhie(’s office, where he promised that he would not say by te, bed inflame the crowd or lead to a riot. ile he was absent, Mr. Jon Cavers made a few re- parks, and offered the frat: ag which was adopted: — Resolved, That poor families living in the city, who are ynable to bay their rente during hard times, shall not ye turned out of their homes by avaricious landlords w treir ; and also, that a vigilance committee be to carry the above into effect.
