Comfort and Sustenance for the Destitute. WANT AND RELIEF. A Second Generous Donation from the New York Pilots, APPEALS FOR AID. Sympathetic Responses and Practical Assistance. Notwithstanding that charity has cheered many fs beart made sad by destitation from inability to | procure work whereby to earn subsistence, the HERALD reporters and the visitors of benevo- jent Institations find mo lack of cases which call for pity and assistance. Thanks to prompt aid and succor from generous hearts and willing hands, many who a few days ago saw only suffering in the present and despair in the future, are to-day clad and fed, sheltered and warmed, and feel that they have strong brothers and loving sisters among the more fortunate classes, who will practically help them in efforts to find employment by which they can become self- | supporting once more, THE SOUP KITCHENS. Twelve soup kitchens were open yesterday un- @er the management of Mr. Delmonico. In the Sixth ward, after the two boilers of 120 gallons eacn had been distributed, it was necessary to make two more boilers of soup. Captain Mount is doing his best in the Seventh ward to help all the destitute people. There are donations of bread every day for the poor, and the entire ward is interested in helping the desti- tute, At the soup kitchen No. 79 East Broadway the crowd was very great as long as the soup lasted to feed it. ‘Whe chef, Kanbofer, made a chicken soup yester- Gay in two soup houses, There Was an increase of the number of applicants for soup over the pre- | vious day reaching 12,879 persons, INVESTIGATING DESTITUTION.

THE CHORUS SINGERS’ WIDOWS. “Prominent among the cases of real suffering ‘which we encountered,” said one of the ladies to the HERALD representative, “theugh of a much Bigher and more refined grade of misery, and therefore claiming all the more our sympathy, were the cases of the two widows of the two for- merly favorably known chorus singers, Messrs. Huck and Schroeder. Each of these ladies was Visited, and each presents, as It were, her own Peculiarity of suffering.” Mrs. Huck is a young, prepossessing, interesting American lady, not over twenty-two years of age at the furthest, with a face as sweet as itis sad. . » e a oe es = = nt clear brunette, with a dark, languishing eye, who | seemed to be perfectly bowed with sorrow.

Her FQoms are very clean and are well furnisned. She Fespects herself Gnd is a lady in grain. She dresses in the extreme of neataess, though also in the extreme of cheapness and simplicity, her voice is soft and low, and her manner is wonder- fully prepossessing. Her husband, who was a musi- cian, joined the Lucca troupe @ chorus singer and went with Lucca to Havana, where he died of the yellow fever, leaving his widow ano iamily utterly penniless. This is Mrs, Huck’s trouble. She is “utterly penniless.” She has | literally not $1 in this world. Nor is she at present able to earn $1, for she expects in less than toree | months to become again # mother, and is in very delicate health. “With one child, soon to have another, and without a hasband or $1.” Such was the true statement of her condition made by a party fully coguizant Of the facts of the case.

Clothing Comes and Goes—How it Came te Pass—Harry Burke, the Sailor— Parlor Philanthropy and Those Who Know of a Case. Yesterday was full of interesting episades at St. John’s chapel. There was the usual num- ber of halfclad women and children, the j usual number of sick and broken-down | men, and the usual number of drunken | people of both sexes, who needed ready money to | buy rum, and were “ready to denounce and ex- | pose institutions that could afford nothing but groceries toa poor man, who was cold, and— and—everything.” Scores of ladies with servants | brought packages of clothing, which disappeared as the frost disappears, ior 541 garments were | given to the poor during the day. The additional number of ladies who came asking for addresses of the poor whom they might administer to | were warmly received, and they went away with | smiles which will be changed to sadness when they come face to face with the poverty which the | HERALD has but faintly pictured, ‘Tne tollowing ts a visitor's account of the origin of a sewing society for the benefit of the poor | Whose destitution hag been described im the col- umns of the HERALD, “Uantel”’ is the head of a charitable family, ‘Mary’ is one of his daughters, | and the Sewing Society nas sent a large supply of | clothing anda well-filied purse to St, John’s chapel. HOW IT CAME TO PASS, “Now it came to pass, in the days of Ulysses, that the land was sore, stricken by panic, labor was stopped, and hunger and nakedness went about | the streets, And at Gotham a cry went up—help! | nelp! or the people perish! And the cry filled the ears of the patriarch Daniel, ‘and of all bis house; and as they sat at meat | they said one to another, ‘What shall | we'doY’ Then spoke Mary (first in every good word and work), ‘Why sit we here all the day idie? Let us arouse ourselves, and let us call to- | gether all the young men and the maidens; then | will we put our hands to our pockets, our fingers to the needle, our feet to the treadie and our hearts vo the work; and we will make garments that shall | be tor covering. So shali destitution be succored.’ | And the thing pleased the Patriarch and all his | household, and they hastened to send lette1 ere and there, saying, ‘Come over and help us.” And 1t Was so that as soon as the people heard the word | their hearts were kindled, and on the second | month, the third day of the month, they came to- getner, with one accord, unto the place <alled | “Twenty-secoud,” nigh unto the avenue called | “Seventh.” | ‘Tuen said they, one to anothér, “Behold, we are ready for the work, but who silall give tous a name which shall be for a sign and a bond to bind us togecner?? And as they questioned among themseives, the Same Mary answered :— “WE AKE SOWERS AND REAPERS, | “Blessed are we that sow beside all waters—in due season we shall reap if we fail not.” THE STORY OF UARRY BURKE, Harry Burke is a fine hese | young. man, with | an open, honest face, browne y exposure. He is twenty-two or twenty-three years of age, and | Was ap gupiore of the Erie Rallway Company two ears agd, when in an accident his Collar jone was broken.

PARLOR PHILANTHROPY, The following ts a visitor’s glimpse at different | housenolds where the HERALD’s poverty page 18 Tead, and the varying effect it produces :— Permit me to show you, from positive knowledge, how differently many of our wealthier citizens view we matter of Rata the starving. An elegant breakfast room—Madame performing her ante-bri fast duty ot looking over the morning Hxratp— juts it down after a while with @ sigh, as she turns to to her husband opposite, “Dear me! | wi sof wantand hunger there must be an the gi je things these guiids and re- | Hef socter Kee TAME ike dow thankiul these poor | people ought to at they aFe $9 Well cared for.” ‘The Beeeee ce toe oa aeelatng.

A different train of thought was that of Mrs. Merritt yesterday morning. At three o'clock yesterday atter- Doon, happening to look in at St John’s Guild, Mr. Wis- wail told me that a lady would like to relieve some dis- tressed family on her way up town. and asked me to name some recent case within my knowledge. I romptly told. her of the sick woman and col Rungey children in the shanty corner of West ai Gansevoort streets, and observed that they needed tuel. ‘Ata quarter before six o’clock that evening, when mak- ing my third visit upon this dreadtul case of destitution, T'Ound that Mrs. Merritt had been there before me; had not looked upon this wretchedness from a distance, prom- ised patronizingly to send something at some ‘future time, &c.; but there was @ quarter of a ton of coal’ already in a corner, @ bunch of miik uckets and a generous supply ot groceries and food.

The Agassiz Memorial Committee have issued an appeal in aid of the memorial which it is proposed toerect to his memory, The plan contemplates the permanent endowment of Professor Agassiz’s most important work, im regard to which the com- mittee say :— The Museum of Comparative Zoology at Cam- bridge is an independent establishment, governed by @ faculty of its own. It was iounded fifteen years ago by Agassiz, and has grown to its pres- ent lar, In connec- i roportions under his Nand. e ton with It is the newly established School of Ex- Perimental Zoology, on the isiand of Penikese, en- dowed by Mr. Anderson, of New York. The system of instruction has the widest character, and in- cludes eeienseey teaching, as well as the highest investigations. ‘The exhibition rooms are iree to the ublic, Large sums have already been expended in ‘inging this national museum to its present con- dition. Its collections 1n several branches are su- rior to those of the British Museum or the Jarden of Plants. To make such an establishment useful it must nave a large building and a con- siderable annual income for the payment of pro- jessors ‘Assistants, To periect the grand Lg conceived by Agassiz will re- Quire ab least $300,000, of waich about one- third would be used in enlarging the butiding and two-tuirds would be funded, The subscriptions to the memorial now already amount to neariy $85,000, Tue committee desire to state toat the smallest subscriptions irom the less afuent will be ag welcome as the largest from the wealthier, and will be most gratefully received.

The joint committee of the Board of Aldermen and Assistant aldermen—consisting of Aldermen | Robert B, McCafferty, chairman, and Oswaid Ot- | tendorfer; Assistant Aldermen Charles M. Clancy, | Healy and Kehoe; Dock Commissioners Wiliam 5 a Graham, Chief Engineer of the Board: Vaptain Jerome K. Collins and several other well known | gehtlemen—embarked yesterday morning on board of the police steamer Seneca, from the foot of Twenty-third street, East River, and steamed up to Handall’s Island, and thence inspected the de- partment stone yard, where a large number of | men were seen at work making tools, spile- drivers, derricks and otner machinery with which tw carry on the projected work next summer, A rapid sail brought the committee and guests to pier No.1 North River, where the committee inspected this pier, which hag been agatn com- | pleted and finished since the accident by the City | of Limerick. Superintendent Murphy tully ex- | Plained the workings to the visitors of the district | and labors under bis charge. The party then pro- ceeded to the foot of Ubristopher street, where the | great wooden piers are ‘being constructed. The | force employed there at present consists of 110 dock bnilders, sixty laborers, sixteen =pile drivers, ous spile cutting machine and one dredging ma- chine. The Dock Commissioners pointed out to the Com- } mon Council Committee that the laborers whom they saw at work had had their pay reduced from | $2 b0 per day to $2 In view oi the hard labor per- | formed by these men Alderman McCatteriy sug- gested that the old rate of wages ($2 50) be again | paid these laborers, to which Aluerman Ottendor- ter and Messrs. Clancy, Healy and Kehoe fully assented, Two of the pins foot of Christopher street have been leased by the White Star Steam- ship Company jor aterm of ten years, at the an- nual rental of $45,000. As the company receives only the skeleton of the pliers it wil cost them froin $100,000 to $135,000 for the adequate improuve- ments. By the terms of the lease everything of this kind reverts back to the city at the eud of ten ears. 4 The Commissioners and their visitors then pro- | ceeded to the loot oi Gansevoort street, where the | manulacturing of artificial stone 18 belng carried on how for the <pace of one year, under the super- vision of General Schuyler Hamilton, grandson of | the famous Alexander Hamtiton. The construc- | tion of docks Was only commenced on the 4th of | December, 1873, and 1s nearly completed, The jJabor cannot be seen to its iull advantage, as agreat | dealig done under water. General Graham, who | has succeeded General McClellan as Chief Engineer, has accomplished much since his connection with | this department. | Atnoon to-day the joint committee will again | Meet to continue the investigation, SLIPPERY VAULT COVERS. Some ten days ago the Common Council passed | an ordinance providing that covers over vaults on | sidewalks must be of a rough exterior to guard against tripping persons up who are so unlor- tunate as to step thereon. Yesterday Mayor Have- meyer vetoed the ordinance, and says that, in the first place, to effectually prevent the nuisance, too Jarge a force of men would be required to do the | work. In the second place, the time given to remedy violations of the law is too short; and, in the third place, the matter should be entrusted vo the Department of Police rather than to the Public Works Department. On Monday the mes- Sage in full will be transmitted to the Board of Assistant Aldermen, RELIGIOUS EMANCIPATION. | Budd, Gardiner and Westervelt; General Charles K. | | | at two o'clock P, M., from St. Mary’ dene? or ner parents, No. 351 Weer Finietn: s on Sunday, March Tat half-paat one Odo” Cosreii.—On Friday, Febroary 27, 1874, Many ANR, wife of James Costello, in the 41st year of her Kelatives and friends are ctfully invited to See Seer Bae ae eee past one o'clock iy M, id acclaim on Friday morning, CROKER.—In Jersey City, February 27, PREDDIR, youngest son of Jonn F. and Carrie Croker, aged'1 year, 7 months and 10 da.

He stigmatized both as technical and adverse to the grand truths of science, In former times, he said, science ‘was made to agree with theology and the Bible, but | now it was vice versa, For instance, in the olden time it was held that the world was made in six | daye—actual days—and now that geology has demonstrated the fact that the formation of the globe took millions of years, theology steps in and sada that that is just what is meant by the | ie. | In speaking of the religious slavery which ex | isted in the first thousand years of Christianity Mr. | Alger used tne following strong but inelegant figure, “These monks had spread over the whole earth a web of diseased logic, woven of the entrails of their own sickly brains,” | .Inconciuding he maintained that Archimedes, Aristotle, Newton ana the thousands Of lesser lights were the spree of God as much and even more | than any of those whose names are to be found tn the calendar of the Church, Science, he said, was being disseminated around the masses, the | doctrines of the great philosopher were being pop- | ularized, and the great cloud of doubt and bigotry which has for so many centuries obscured the landscape of humanity was being rapidly rolled away.
