The Hungry Fed and the Naked Clothed— Baby Outcasts of the Poor Cared For by | the Wives and Mothers of the Rich—A Londoner in Gotham—0Old, Helpless and Starving—A Fraudulent “Charity Ball” Unmasked. | Seventeen hundred and fifty persons on Monday | came to St. John’s Guild for food; twelve huzdred of them brought relief tickets from visitors, en- titling them to immediate supplies of provisions and groceries. The others had to be visited. Yes- terday 4 formidable array of those equally poor and unprevidea tur appeared, and during the long day were being constantly furnished with food, clothing and oiten with orders tor medical attendance and medicines. They presented, asa Wuole, the same sad picture that every day brings into life at St, Jonn’s chapel. They repeated the same sad stories of destitution, of misery, of sick- | ness and death, They were from nearly every | land and spoke many tongues; but the burden or | all, no matter what the accent happened to be or the language m which their suffering found voice, was of hunger and homelessness, They entered the gates where many thousands of weary feet nad entered before them, and they bore on their arms light baskets and in their bosoms heavy hearts. | They went back to the desolate places they name home with light hearts and neavy burdens, that, unpacked, brought into the darkness of their poor rooms light and life and hope, TWO BABY OUTCASTS. In Grand street yesterday a passer by found two little beings crying desperately in an open doorway. He questioned them and they toid their story. A bad woman enticed their motner | to drink, and when these two became inebriated | they attacked each other and gave the | littie ones many odd biows in the melée. This | chance passer by was a volunteer visitor of St. John’s Guild. He entered the house and found the women. They were locked in each other’s embrace and struggling in a room strewed with old gunny bags, straw and ashes, and furnished with a dilapidated table and two chairs. The visitor was shown the room where the little ones slept; it was a garret, empty, save @ littie pile of loose straw in a corner. He called @ policeman, and they brougnt the littie beings to St. John’s Guild, where they were fea, washed and ciothed. The littie girl had only a bandage above the waist, which was her ouly covering. The first water {from which they emerged was black as ink, and the clothes they | had worn were a mere pundie of rags. Stull the | boy was a very fine looking littie fellow, who gave | { his name as Hampton Woods: and his sister. a Iragile little thing, with curly, faxenu hair, was more than pretty. Their father was dead. A LONDONER IN NEW YORK. Mrs. Rachel Botschwits, a Londoner, married to @ German, and the mother of seven children, | though still very young, has been supporting her family in a rudé way by working as a tailoress. | She had purchased a Singer sewing machine, | in avenue B, | | | No. 2 (tallors’) of one ‘ahn, between Third and Fourth streets, and had paid him $57 of the purchase money. She owed $20 more to complete her payment, On the occasion ot her visit to St. John’s Guild, a week ago yesterday, her room was visited and the | machine was taken away by Hahn’s men. When she returned home she found the only means of support she possessed gone. Her husband, a | painter by trade, but without work for five months and at tne present time sick, had learned to assist her in sewing on the machine, and he could only | tell her tt was gone and with ut prospects of the payment Of reot and the purchase of bread, | OLD, HELPLESS AND STARVING. | At No, 430 Third avenue, ina Sub-cellar, lives & woman, named McLaughlin, who is enty-eight | years of age, and who has @ brother sixty-six years old, rheumatic, and jyig on @ pallet with a boy of | nineteen. Tuere are no windows in the cellar, and the oniy light, even at noonday, is shed by a candle, They were without food, fei or ved clothing, A CASE FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF CHARITIES. Among the numerous cases sent to St, Jonn’s Guild by Superintendent Keliogg, of the Depart- ment of Pubite Charities and Correction, 18 that of 4 poor, young married woman named Margaret Cleary, Who lives at No. 741 Tenth avenue, third | floor, in room No, 9 Mrs. Cleary is a very good looking woman, and very neat and sober. She has 4 baby three weeks old and a husband much older than herself bat just as heipiess as the infant. She is recommended by Dr. Hastings as a web nurse, as she cannot leave the house to work out.

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. ee The regular stated session of the Board of Edu- cation, was held yesterday afternoon, ia their halt on Grand street. W. H. Neilson presided, and there were also present Messrs. Baker, Farr, Hal- sted, Jenkins, Kiamroth, Seligman, Traud, Ver- milye, West, Wetmore and Mann. After approv- ing the minutes of the previous meeting, commual- cations {rym the different committees were re- ceived. On motion, the report of the committee appointed to visit the public schools of Boston to examine into the system of notation and music was read. The report showed that $15,000 per annum was paid in salaries to the music teachers, and that an annual exhibition was given every year by the most advanced pupils. The com- mittee pronounced favorably upon the plan for seanning music in the schoois, if properly carried out by competent teachers. It was then moved, seconded and carried, that the report be d. Acommunication was then read, giving tistics ag to the inspection of che public schools, showing 106,000 pupils now on the rolls, and average attendance last month of "96,000, be- ing an increase of 7,000 over the attendance in the same mooth last year. Another communication was then read from the City Superintendent, call- ing attention to the injurious effects caused by the sale of prize candy to children, and also statin; that parents bad complained to him that in some of the confectionary stores there were roulette tables snd dice, and that their chitdren had been induced to gamble and lose considerable money. The City Superin- tendent suggested that the attention of the muni- cipal authorities be called to this growing evil and some means taken to pee a stop to it, Ou motion the report was ordered to be printed. A commu- nication was then read irom tae Mayor appoinung 8. RK. Philips as Inspector of Schools, Tne Com- mittee on Sites and New Schools reported in favor of reorganizing Primary School No. 87, in tue Third ward. The repurt was adopted. The report of the Auditing Committee was then read and adopted. A report was then carried authorizing the taking of Primary Schogl No. 48 for one year trom April 1, 1874, at an anfual rent of $500 per annum. ‘The re- port of the Committee on Buildings tn favor of leas- ing the pret No, 67 Warren street ior tive years, at an angual rental of $2,400 per annum, for Primary Sehool No, 37,1n the Third ward, was re- ceived aid adopted. The report of the Finance Committee was then read and adopted. Resolu- tions were adopted authorizing the expenditure of $5,947 for furniture and $7,100 for heating ap- paratus for the Model Schoolhouse, The Finance Committee on the apportionment of school moneys reported as follows :— Ward schools. of atreet, + $963,551 SL Colored schools. 8.935 10 Normat schools (white). « 16,483 83 Normal schools (black),.....-++ 110 Ou Corporate schoo! 100,203 85 Total. . $1,039,294 00 After some short discussion of no particular tn- terest the Board adjourned. OITY HALL NOTES. The most complete dulness prevails in the vari- ous departments around the City Hall. With only @ very few exceptions the heads of the various bureaus are absent at Albany to look out for their interests, No wonder that the “grinding” com- mittees have already begun their work in the State Capitol, when so many “statesmen” have so Many little hatchets to sharpen. Mayor Havemeyer, quite refreshed after his patient review of the brilliant St. Patrick’s pggeant | passing before him and the Common Council on ‘Tuesday, and not a particle exhausted from tue de- livery of his speech to the Friendly Sons of the Irish patron saint, appeared at his office early yes- terday morning. While he was Out getting his | chop, tn company with the Comptroller, a loving | French couple waited His Honor’s return to be made man and wile. They were accommodated in | atrice by betng joined with due despatch, but the Mayor neglected to kiss the bride. THE POLICE COMMISSIONERSHIP. With the nomination or Mr. Tax Commissioner George H, Andrews, made by Mayor Havemeyer some two weeks ago, to fill the place of the late Henry Smith, it was thought that the controversy had come to an end. But such is not the case. The declination of Mr. Andrews, since no honor was to be reaped by him by a confirmation, and the dead- lock in the Commission having been broken by the election of Mr. Hugh Gardner to the Presidency, leave the matter of a fifth Commissioner an open | question. At the meeting of the Board of Alder- | men to-day the Mayor will no doubt send the cor- respondence with Mr. Andrews to them, merely for | information, but he has expressed himself to tue effect that he will not send in any new nomination. Mr. Havemeyer Claims that he has complied with the letter of the charter, which compeis bim to | make @ nomination within ten days of the occur- | rence of a vacancy, As the nominee declines to | accept the honor thus offered him, he (the Mayor) 1s absolved from turther obligations, and he now | proposes to take his time to fill the vacancy, It | 13 stated, however, that Mr. J, D. Townsend will be the coming man; but some of the Aldermen stated | yesterday that it will oniy be time wasted to ap- | point the new Commissioner, as a bill has gone to | the Legislature to abolish the present Commission \ and place the appointing power for the four Com- missioners, of which the Police Board is to consis’ in the hands of the Board of Alaermen. Thus the matter rests at present; Dut new developments may occur at apy moment. CITY AND COUNTY TREASURY. | ond street and Third avenue, 28 meat. John H.

To THe Eprroe or THR HERALD:— Having read in your paper this morning an arti- cle referring vo the late Emperor of the French and the burning of the Summer Palace at Pekin by the British Army, I beg you will allow me to make @ few remarks thereon, as | had the honor of bemg one of the British expeditionary force, and served with my troops throughout the campaign, which endea with the capitulation of Pekin, October 6, 1960, The burning of the Summer Palace was decided upon at @ council of war, heid on the part of Eng- land by the Earl of Elgin as Ambassador, and the Commander-in-Chie!, Lieutenant General Sir James Hope Grant, G. C. B., and on the part of the French by Baron Gross, as Am- bassador, and General Mantauban (now Count Paukao), Commander-in-Chief, By that council of war the tate of the Summer Palace was decided, and the French troops had their portion allotted to destroy, equally with the Kuglish, whicn they carried out to the letter, as they did all operations which were assigned to taem throughout that campaign. I may here remark that the burning of the Summer Palace was mainly due to the nor- rible barbarities committed by the Chinese on | English officers, together with members of His Exceilency Lora Elgin’s stat! who were some days peovions made prisoners wille under # flag of ruce, Of the whole party who went within the Chinese lines Colonel Walker, ©. &., second Dragoon Guards, serving on the stat! of the cavalry, was the only one who escaped, and that was owing to his being so well mounted as well as being an expe. | rienced horseman and pericct swordsman, as, by aid of our glasses, We could see him cutting his way through the enemy, and, amid a cloud of aust, | smoke apd gingai buliets, presently cantered into the British lines, ‘The victims who were so tortured by the enemy were Mr. De Norman, chief attaché to Lord Elgin, and Mr. Locke, his private secretary; Mr. Parkes, now Sit Harry Parkes, then Consul (English) at Canton; Mr. De Buiby, 7#mes correspondent; Cap- tain Brabazon, Royal Artillery; Lieutenant Ander- son, First Sikh Irregular Cavalry; l’rivate Phipps, First Dragoon Guards, and twenty Sowars of the Ficst Sikn Irregular Cavairy, who comprised Mr. De Norman's escort. ‘They were all tortured to adeath df the most brutal description, with the exception of Mr. Parkes and Mr. Locke, who were returned three weeks afterward iu @ irightful condition, NEW YORK, March 18, 1874.

Outwater, of Moonochey—A Close Contest—UVutwater the Winner. For @ week or more the pigeon shooting fr» ternity of New Jersey have been greatly exercised in the matter of the match made between Mr, John Ryan, of Englewood, and Mr. John H, Outwa- ter, of Moonochey, that State. They had before met at Secaucus, where Outwater, who 1s still @ youth, polished of his antagonist in such true sportsman’s styie that the latter felt much an noyed and resoived to “pick his flint and try again.” So the two Jobns agreed to meet yester day at Deerfoot Driving Park and there shoot at 21 birds each, under the Long Island rules, calling for 21 yards rise, 90 yards boundary and 1 oz. shot, for $300. Each was to “find, trap and nandie” jor tue other. * ver in Bergen county, in the unmediate vicinity of where the principa:a live, there has been much betting, the odds slightly 1n favor of Ryan, a3 1t had become noised abroad that Miles Johnson would attend to the latter's labor in Onding aud trapping the birds, Such in- deed was the case, and Miles did his part or the work to perfection; but young Outwater ‘aston. ished the natives with his shooting and succcss- lully overcame all obstacles. About 100 gentlemen were on the grounds at the appointed hour and without delay the shooting commenced. Mr. ‘fruax Was selected judge lor Uutwater and Miles Jonnson tor Ryan. Van Valdenburgh, of Newark, acted as referee. Ryan went tirst to the trap, and, at the fifth bird, both shooters had each missed two; at the tenth, each had lost tour birds; then Ryan killed eight im succession and Outwater seven, letting the twellth bird escape. It is only fair to state that at the be, ng of the shooting Outwater was per- suaded to try & strange gun on the representation of airiend, but he soon discovered nis mistake and went back to “id reliable,” as he terms hit own double-varrel muzzie-loader. Ryan mussed his nineteenth bird, wnen Outwater killing his there was a tie, which caused considerable excite: ment. Kyan also missed bis twenty-first bird, when those who Knew the abilities of Outwater were very sanguine that he would kil! his last. He nit it hard, and {t fell ten yards from the trap, but got up and, circlg around the judges’ stand, dropped dead im the middie of the track. Ryan and bis party disputed the right of the referee ta measure from where the bird fell, out pointed te some imaginary spot where, he said, bird had gone “in making the circle.” Mr. Vanvalkenourgh first measured irom the dead bird and found that he was in bounds, and then measured in snotuer direction, where the Ryan party said the bird had been. Alter an ani mateu discussion the judges concluded to call it “no bird” and make Outwater shoot at anotier, The decision Was manilestly unjust to Outwater, but he accepted it, and -killed his bird in style, making a score of 16 against Ryans 15. ‘The winner, though very young, is aa excellent shot, killing his birds quickly and very clean. He | had some of the best birds that ever Hew from @ | trap in this country brought agaist nim, but he ‘Was equal to the occasion. ‘Those that he iurnished Kyan were in the majority “duffers,” so in the “tnding and trapping” the odds were greatly against him, which made his victory all the more creditable.

Mr. Sauva then told, in forcible terms, of the struggle of tte Commaue tor liberty, how they had iought agaiust territic odd¢ and hud been beaten. He stigmatized the petty and miserable conduct of the Thiers government. its wholesale and cold blooded massacre of Com- munists on the plain of sartory.
