CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE POOR. Achange from the diet of beef soup to chicken broth is very beneficial to those who are delicate and need immediate nourishment. At the Del- monico kitchens, chickens have been used instead O! beef Jor some days, and the experiment has been lound to result ina great success. Young children, particuiarly, have been observed to have been benetited by the change, and Mr. Ranhorfer has given orders, as ne did at the Sixth precinct, to have two boilers made full of chicken soup, Tas soup is the only soup of its kind ever made an this city with tne same ingredients and giving the same amount of fesh meat to the quantity of Water, Delmonico’s chefhas arranged the bill of fare as follows, 40 that those who need soup may Dave it served them in the manner which they like est, The menu is as followsa:— Da Week, ualitu of Soup, Sunday. Mulon ad barigy onday. Beerand spiit peas Beet and Ame peel and potat id rive and oth an beans sand leeks vegetables sh chowder Beet, , ns and oread it must be understood that in these different soups, besides the articles specified, th we bther vegetables, such as ouious, turnips, car pavbage and potatoes, it has been found that the dest usgistaut to bee! in mukiag soups is a pleuli- mul proportion o/ beans—the genuine white skinned American bean. Onions, it 18 lound, will make the | woup strong; and carrots with turnips and the roper seasoning, in the shipe of a spice box hat is placed im the latge boiler, makes Au excellent seasoning to the soup, 4b 1s | iso found that plenty of salt is required in the soup, tor those who drink it seem to like Balt very much, In the soup paysonne which 13 made by Mr. Ranhoffer there is a jarge amount of bread put into ihe boiler, cut up, The skunming | 01 these soups is done very carelully by ull o! the | thirty cooks and marmitons who are employed by | Delmonico. The skimming has to be done for hours in succession with large ladles, and it | assumes the appearance of a thick froth, like boul- | Ing chocolate. The skimming 1s done so that a Ciear Soup may ve given tothe poor, Alter four hours’ boliing the meat becomes puipy and the juice | is extracted, The vegetables also assume that Appearance which is mdicative that a good soup has been made. Ithas been very clearly ascertained | that mutton broth 1s the most popular of all soups Made, though it is furnished on tue day (Sunday) on which there is the least demand for reliel. ‘The Mutton broth with the barley has been found to be the most substantial of all soups when served Uphot. Yesterday 2,750 gallons of soup were de- livered to 12,500 persons, There was an urgent call tor bread in the Eighth precinct; but very little bread las veen furnisbed there to the soup houses, owing to the entire indifference of the Captain commanding the precinct. There is not a Ward in the city in which tuere are more charitabie Persons than there are in the Eighth; yet, although there is plenty 01 soup, the people in comiortable circumstances have not been asked to help the poor, Comment is useless, i | PICTURES OF POVERTY, Whe Old, Old Story—Hungry, Sick and | Dying—In a Garret and Out on the Streets at Night—A Child Woman About to Become a Mother—Homeless and Wandering Through the Streets for a Month.

New York, March 19, 1874, No inconvenience 1s felt for a lack of fire, save for tue purposes of cooking, except in the damp | cellars and basements along the Water | mide and in the sub-ceilars in low aistricts. Many thousands are, however, pre- | Vented from going out in search of employment in the daytime by lack of proper clothing. Hunger, | ‘too, is just as prevalent now as in the worst days | DI winter, and the dally gathering of the half | Starving and destitute in front of St. John’s chapel | i@not in any degree diminished. The lady vis- | \sora are eacu day bringing to light cuses of desti- | tution a5 sad as any of those yet given td the pub- | lic. Many persons, however, reiuse to let their | addresses be given, and few of such cases are ever ublisihed, Ihe folowing, copied irom a postal | 'd received at the Guild yesterday, is a jair same | ple of hundreds received dally. It Was written in | @ pretty hand, evidently by a woman of education aud refinement :— THE OLD, OLD STORY. Rey. Auyan WiswaLis— Sin—My husband has been out of work all winter.

Mr, Kelly seized the furniture ior non- Papen of instalments and they are living ina are room, sleeping on the Moor, OUT IN THE STREETS AT NIGHT. Yesterday a case oi the most bitter destitution Came to the kuowledge of the good peopie at St. John’s chapel. A young woman, poorly and scant- ly clad, but very heat aud of good address, came V0 ask Jor lood anid toid her story. She is eighteen, Miarried, and her husband, who has beeu out of pmployment all winter, is sick, Tiey have had no home and bave been obliged to wander about the Btrects all night. From Sunday until Tuesday last they had no jood. The night belore last ahe walked the streets till eleven o'clock, when A WOMAN THEY MET percent loaned them $8, with which to procure lodgings and iood, ‘hey have had no shelter tor the past mouth and lave sufered terribly trom cold, weir hands and leet being terribly swollen. The poor woman wili shortly become a motuer, and she begged of Mr, Wiswall that he woald ob- tain for her ‘mission to enter some hospival where she bt give birth to her child. Itis needieas to say that her request was instantly granted. COLONEL SAVAGE'S FAMILY, The notice of the extreme destitution of the family o/ Colonel Savage, of tue tederal army, who died at Libby Prison, was in some degree incorrect. ‘The jadies are not sisters, but daughters, of toe dead Colonel, aud two of them are invalids, while @ll are in the most pitiiul embarrassment.

THE CHARITY DIRECTORY. —+—_—_ There were two serious errors in the Charity Di- rectory published on Wednesday. The amount ex- pended for salaries by the Masonic Board of Relief Was nothing, while the disbursements of the re Relief Association were $3,024, instead of The Committee of Nine, constituting the Bureau of Charities, held its weekly session yesterday, Mr. Theodore Roosevelt in the chair, Mr. Henry E. Pellew, Secretary. A communication received concerning an insti- tution called “The New York Providence Society,” caused an investigation, on the part of the Bureau, of the affairs of this institution. Four promment citizens, whose names appear on the circulars of the institution as managers, have been written to for mformation regarding it, of Whom answer bas been received from Dr. Hepworth to the effect that the institution was totally unknown to him. The agent of the Bureau reported his inanility to find out anything about the place, No. 1,262 Third ave- nue, where the institution was represented as being located, was found to be a_ tene- Ment howse, where no one was found who knew anything about the society. Acolored woman finally took the papers from the agent, promising to see that they were delivered. ‘The Soctety in its printed report claims to dispense | annually some $10,000, and publishes a list of | contributors giving $5 and upwards, Not hav- | ing any clew to the Society, the Bureau will be | happy to obtain any information avout this chari- table institution from the pubiic, A communication with regard to the Five Points House of Industry had been received from Mr. Morris | K. Jesup, the President of the institution, asking | for a thorough investigation of its accounts by the Bureau, Anexpert accountant was seut, who ex- | amined all the oooks and papers of the institution | and rendered a periectly satisiactory report, whica is on file at the office of tie bureau, open to in- spection by everybody interested, In answer to repeated inquiries the Board would state that the Kureau of Charities is now sufli- | ciently organized to undertake the investigation | of charitable associations, and will be happy to ceive through their secretary, at No, 66 ‘Third a A nuuber of cases have been lound by inve: ganon of beneficiaries, who, it appears, receive | charitable aid from five societies simultaneously. | Such cases are reported to the societies interesteu, | for their information simply, the Bureau not wish- ing to take the accuser’s place. A letter trom the Secretary of the Children’s Aid | Society was read, requesting the bureau to make known to charitable institutions that hundreds of poor girls or children now out of employment and exposed to temptations in thts city can be fur- | nished with good homes in the West on application to the society, Very iew girls apply at the society's | office, while hundreds of boys are sent West to | pleasant homes, | Bureau, Mr. Thomas jamil- Mr. Allen, resignin ant secretary of the A ton Was appointed in his place. A statement in the report of last Week’s proceedings concerning the support of the Bureau the committee wish cor- rected, to the effect that eignteen citizens, among whom Were several members of the committee, have pledged themselves to the extent of $250 to the support of the bureau, which merely, however, was to used rather as @ sort ol reserve tund, ‘These subscribers become associates of the Bureau, receive its circulars and ements, and have a | right to seats at special meetings of the Bureau, A | hope is entertained that citizens will be found yet in sufficient number to subscribe the entire amount necessary to the support of the Bureau—about $10,000, BROOKLYN SOUP KITCHENS. from his position as assist- | There is no apparent diminution in the number of poor out of employment and in need of tood, clothes and means to pay rent. Yesterday 2,900 people were fed from the Vanderbilt avenue | Kitchen, under the supervision of Sergeant Uar- | penter, of the Fourth precinct. At the Tenth precinct kitchen, Bergen street, 1,000 people were supplied with excellent bee! and Vegetable soup, by Captain Campbell. in the Java street («. D.) kitchen 650 hungry ap- plicauts ior soup were supplied. Contributions are falling off under the mistakes impression that the demund ior assistance is decreasing with the advent of fine weather, This isa mistake which should not be permitted to lull charity into lethargy. HELPING THE POOR AT TREMONT. A concert in aid of the poor of the Twenty-fourth ward was given in the First Presbyterian church | at Tremont, under the auspices of many philan- thropic citizens of that locality, on Wednesday The programme, embracing several musical and literary selections, was creditabiy ren- dered by a corps of amaieurs of both sexes. The entertainment was well attended, nearly $400 | having been realized on the occasion, | | CHARITY BY PROXY. To THE Eprtor of THE HERALD:— Why don’t you say “What's the matter” with | our charities? Why don’t you tell our generous Protestant community what is at the root of the trouble? Isit not that they are willing to give | their money, but not their time, to works of piety | ud charity? ‘Take my life, but spare my mer- | chandise,” satd the pedier to the highwayman. | “Take my money, but interfere not with my occu- | patsons,” say the active men of business and | Women of society. Good people tell us that will | not do, when the books are opened. ‘Insomuct | a8 ye nave done it to the least of these my breih- | ren, ye have done it unto me.’ Not that ye have | sent some one else to do it, and paid a little of | your miserable peif to get him to go and do it. You cannot serve the Lord in the persons of the poor by proxy any more than you can pray by proxy or die by proxy; ana how many men and women there ure whose hearts are soit and whose hands are ready to do good work to their suffering | fellows, but that they do not know how or where to begin. Their Protestant traditions forbid their | forming themselves into Guilds and sisterhoods, | and so they creep about timidly anddo a iittle | feeble “visiting the poor” blunderingly, tgnor- antly, inefMiciently, benefiting their own souls a good deal but the poor a very little, When will Protestants learn to use the religion Of their people to accept those who desire to con- secrate themselves, to have sisters and brothers | who will give their lives to the work of charity, | and so send to their proper sphere these salaried | paupers who are eating the bread that was not in- | tended jor them mouths. 1am not a Roman Vatiio- | le, but Ladmire sincerely the wisdom and devotion | Of their sysiem. ‘ill Protestants learn something | of their spirit, Lfear there will be no amendment in the matter.

MERETEO AE: tion—Recommendations to Congress—It is Unwise to Abolish Existing Laws— Revenue Officers Should Be Better Paid and Should Be Selected for Honesty, Not Political Favoritism. A special meeting of the Importers and Grocers’ Board of Trade took place yesterday at their receiving a report of the Committee om Trade Statistics and Publications in relation to the moiety question pending in Cougress, ‘The report was read and gave ground for a good deal of discussion, Messrs, H. Farringdon, G. W. Lane, R. B. Minturn, Mr. Hill and others partici- pating. Several amendments were proposed, par- ticularly one to strike out aciause referring to “thieves” and “informers,” which was carried. ‘The following is the report as unanimously adopted :— ‘The Committee on Trade and Statistics to whom the whole matter of the proposed revision of the revenue Jaws is entrusted beg leave to offer a few remarks on the recent discussion of the subject of moieties, & ¥ ington, in the hope that such representation made to Congress as will prevent unwise lezislation, Lo the . but of the of the whole coutitry, In the mittee, wie Board wall do well to take the middie course, denying the correctness of either of these views. Cases oi great hardship have un- doutedly occurred under the harsh interpetation of con- fused and conticting laws by unscrupulous persons seeking only their own individual ends. While urging upon Congress the pressing necessity which that body themselves recognized In the acta of June 27, 1363, and March 3, 1873, asking for a revision of the collec- tion laws which this Board had the honor lay before them last January, we still take the ground that it is as much the inter. est of the merchant as it is of the government that frauds be detected and punished. We maintain that no honest merchant could long remain in business should it become the rule that trauds went unpunished, and we regard the preseut outcry against the laws as they exist, Dad as they are in sonie respects, as dangerous in the extreme, tending, asitdoes, to the repeal of all proper us well as iimpropér sateguards, Ii the opinion of your committee frauds must be de- tected and punished ‘in every proper Way Which can be devised. “To this end we propose to oller some sugyes- on Une method, which seems to have escaped the atten- tion of all sides ai Washington, is to have honest ser- Vants, from highest (o lowest, inthe revenue service.
