—_——————___» TALMAGES TRAVELS, Poverty Shrinking’ from the Rays of the Police Lantern. THE ROAD TO RUIN. From Iniquity to Bellevue Hospital---to Blackwell’s Island---to Hell. * CRIME’S RESERVE CORPS God Pity the Regiments of News- boys and Bootblacks. The Brooklyn Tabernacle was crowdbd, as usual, yesterday morning when Dr. T. DeWitt Talmage preached the fifth of his series of sermons on the night side of city life. Among tbe listeners was Gov- ernor Bishop, of Ohio. The {sual programme of hymns and solos was carried out, with Mr. Morgan at the organ and Arbuckle playing the cornet. ‘The hymn just before the sermon was one which had been sung at the opening of the House of Representatives during President Lincoln's administration, and which had excited the admiration of Mr. Lincoln so much that he wrote a note to one of the gentlemen present, saying:—‘Try and have that sung again, but do not say that asked you.” After referring pleasantly to this episode Dr. ‘Talmage began his sermon, taking the text from Proverbs, x.,15—‘The destruction of the poor is their poverty. PULPITS WHO FEAR THE PEW. On an island nine miles long by two and a half wide, said Mr. Talmage, stands the largest city of the United States, mightiest for virtue and for sin. Be- fore we get through we,shall see its midnoon of mag- nificent progress and philanthropy as well as its midnight of sin and crime. Both stories must be told. Before I get through with these sermons I shall make you all smile at the things I shall say about the grandeur and benefigence of this cluster of cities, but my work now is excavation and exposure. I have as much amusement as any man of my profession can afford to indulge in at any one time in secing some of the clerical reformers of this day mount their war charger, dig in their spurs and with glittering lance dash down upon the iniquities of cities that have been three or four thousand years dead. They will corner an old sinner of twenty or thirty centuries ago and scalp him, and hang him, and cut him to pieces, and then say:—Oh, what great things have been done!” With amazing prowess they throw sul- phur at Sodom, and fire at Gomorrah, and worms at Herod, and pitch Jezabel off the wall; but they wipe off their gold spectacles, ana put on their best kid gloves, and unroll their morocco covered sermons and look bashful when they begin to speak about the sins of our day, as though it were a shame to mention them. The hypocrites! They are afraid of the lib- ertines or those in their churches who drink too much. Better, I say, clear out all our audiences, from pulpit to storm door, until no one is. left but the sexton, and he waitiig merely to lock up (laugh- ter) than to have the pulpit afraid of the pew. One thing I like about a big church is that if a dozen peo- ple get mad an d go out you don’t know they are gone till the next year. (Laughter.) ‘THE POLICE LANTERN. ne I unroll the scroll of new revelations. With city missionaries and the police I have’ seen some things that I have not yet mentioned. The night of which I spoke is darker than any other, It is the long, deep, exhaustive night of city pauperism. “We will want * no carriage for to-night,” said my police attendants. “a carriage would bea hindrance where we are going.” Bo, at eight o'clock we started on foot and walked through the lanes of poverty and crime. Everything ‘was revolting to eye and ear and nostril—unwashed, .Uncombed the population, unventilated the rooms. Three midnights overlapping the darkness of each other midnight in the naturai world, midnight of crime, midnight of pauperism! Streets oozing with lth, inhabitants vermin covered! They had gone nine-tenths of the way toward their final doom. They started in unhappy homes either in city or country. They entered iniquity far uptown in the shambles of death within ten minutes’ walk of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and came gradually on down to the Fourth ward. When they move out of here they will go to Bellevue Hospital. ‘When they m-o-0-ve (long and decidedly emphasized) from Bellevue Hospital, they will m-o-0-v-e to Black- well’s Island, When they m-o-0-ve from Blackwell's Island, they will m-o-0-ve to the Potter's Field, And when they m-o-o-ve from the Potter's Field, they will m-o-0-ve into hell! EVILS OF THE TENEMENT HOUSE SYSTEM, Let the policeman go ahead gud flash his lantern upon the scene. Fourteen people asleep in this one room, or trying to get asleep, some on a few handfuls of straw, but more on the bare floor with neither blan- tet nor pillow. You say this is exceptional. It isnot, Chus sleep night by night, with no better comfort, 170,000 families who live in tenement houses of greater or leas squalor. No reformation of our cities until this terrible tenement house system is broken up. The tity authoritics must buy farms where these people can by force of law be placed and made to work. By strong arm and police lanterns, united with Christian beneficence, these horrors must be exposed and then uprooted, These mendicants must be mado the means of city wealth instead of city putrefaction. No urification or reformation for the city until some- hing like the privacy and seclusion of the home tirele be given to every family. As long as they herd wogether like beasts they will be beasts, AN OASIA OF CHRISTIAN HOPE. Suddenly we heard a lond Christian song rolling out through the storm. We hastened to a window and looked in, A lurge room full of all kinds of peo- ple, some of them weeping, some singing, sone standing, some kn ig some shaking hands to gives encou it, some wringing their hands in , as thongh mourning a wasted life. What was it?’ Jerry McAuley’s glorious Chris- tian mission, Snatched himself! mn the edges of death, there he stands in the strength of God snatch- ing others from rain. That was a scene worth all the fatigues and nausea of the midnight exploration. How much pauperis wo saw by the flash of the police lantern! How much more we did not see! jow much more no eye but God's will ever take in! Think of it; 140,000 lodgers every year in the station houses! And w 08 in the thought that whole families, turned out of doors because they cannot pay their rent, must tumble in here for shelter—the re- spectable and the reprobate, they who have struggled for decency and good name flung helpless in the loathsome pool, innocent childhood and vicious old age, God's poor and Satan's dexperadoes! ‘At my basement door we have an average of 100 salls a day seeking alms, In my reception room every day Lhave applications for help that an old style tilken purse gathered = ge in the middle and with Vanderbilt's wealth in one side and William B, Astor's wealth in the other could not satisty.

They seem jolly, but they have seen sorrows greater than’ many old men. Amid the vilest of temptations and kicked | and cuffed up gurrets and down cellurs, they make their $2 or $8 4 week, and by fifteen years of ‘natural | life are sixty years old in sin. Pitching pennies in their leisure and smoking the stumps of cigars thrown into the ditch, they aro the prey of gamblers, and destroyed — by the top gallery of the low play house, Blacking shoes—their business—the interregnum of their wor! is swallowed *p with the blackening of their morals. “Shine your boots, sir?” they sing out with af- fected gayety of voice, but there is asad tremor in | their accentuation, No one cares for them. Whoever rayed tor a bootblack? God have mercy on the reg- ment of bootblacks. Another regiment of this great battalion of suffer- | ing is made up of the newsboys—the sharpest, wisest, wittiest lads of the town, Up at tour o'clock in the morning, by natural vigilance —waki at half- past three themselves, or roughly pulled out at that hour, the cold, damp sheets of the folding rooms flung over their arms and against their chests, already shivering, and around the bleak ferries and on the slippery pavements of the winter, singing as merrily as though they were chanting a Christmas carol, “HERALD, Sun, T'rvbune and Times,” and making only ‘half a cent on each sale!

LIGHT AND SHADE. Mr. Talmage concluded his sermon by giving a series of magic lantern views, supposed to be thrown on canvas in the church. In imagination the pastor brought out two magic lanterns—the lantern of home and the police lantern—and threw their contrasted pictures on the screen. The magic lantern of the home—a mother put- ti in little ones to bed, trying to hush Cn sky | and giggling group for evening prayer. She covers them up to thechin with the bakets and gives them | a warm good night kiss. ‘Then they are left to the | guardian angels that all night long canopy with spirit wings the trundle bed. ‘The lantern of the police—a boy kennelled for the night under the stairway of @ hall throngh which the wind sweeps, or lying on the cold ground. He does not go to bed; he has no bed. His cold fingers thrust through his matted hair, bis only pillow. He did not sup last night; he will not breakfast to-morro’ He did not say his prayers when he retired; he kno no prayer. He never heard the name of God or | Christ except as something to swear by. The wings over him not the wings of angels, but the dark, bat- like wings of penury and want. Magic lantern of home—family gathering around the argand burner. Father with his feet on ottoman, mother sewing fancy work, two children pretending to study, but in pealley watching the other children pelaes run in and outof the rooms like balls full of unce. Magic lantern of the police—a group intoxicated and wrangling, cursing each other, a past of shame afuture of suffering. The fragments of « chair prop) against the wall, fragments of a pitcher standing on the wornout, half broken-down mantel. ‘The pail of refuse brought in from some kitchen torn by the human swine plunging into the trough. Magic lantern of the home—a Christian daughter has just died. Carriages roll up to the door in sym- pathy. Funeral ‘service intoned amid the richly shawled and kid-gloved and bracelcted.

The schools of philosophy, said Dr. Adler, in Standard Hall, have been divided between the op- posing theories of optimism and pessimism, ‘The laughing and the weeping philosophers everys where appear side by side in history, E the Bible, one of the most optimistical works evar written, contains emphatic assertions of a contrary nature. We call the Bible optimistical, because on its very first page it maintains that the Deity saw everything that He had made and esteemed it very good; because the Paulinist asserts that he has grown 01d, but has never seen actual injustice. And yet in the booke of Job and Ecclesiastes pexeimisin speaks in its saddest strains; the Preacher holds that there is no progress; that all things move in acircle; he has tested whatever men make objects of their ambi- tion, and concludes by saying it is better to be dead than to be living, and better never to have been born than either. in modern times the contending epirita of opti- mism and pessimism once more stand face to face. The will is that which binds us to life. To deny the will is our true policy. We ask the questions, How purpose of are we to take sides? Is happiness t! ii REQUISITES TO HAPPINESS, In order to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion we proceed to analyze the elements of happinoss, Of these I mention, conspicuously, four—the seesion of the means of subsistence, the joyment of health, intellectual o the exercise of virtue. The means of sistence are not within eve ‘such, yet men are unwilling to hear the estion of Aa discussed in pulpits and on platforma, and those who attempt it are met with ngly frowns. Pauper: ism is like yellow fever, we must quarantine against it. Our means of sane it ave clumsy and ineffes- tual. We must wait till the frost comes; that frost, namely, which kills the seeds of panperiam by kill: ing the paupers. So far as happiness depends on the means of subsistence the great majority of men find it within their reach, The second element of happiness is health, and here it seems to us that no other animate being is #0 tortured by disease a8 man. So far as happiness de- pends upon the enjoyment of heaith we cannot quar- antes it. A third constituent is knowledge.

LOVE THY ONLY SOURCE OF HAPPINESS, From these pictures of life, on a careful process of induction, it seems to us that iness is not the purpose of our being. They say, contented and yon will be happy;"" but there are sircumstances in which content is possible only to a hypocrite or to an idiot, Calmness is not content, resignation is not happiness, but the renunciation of happiness, Finally, the Stotes olaim that “virtue makes happy;’ | their wntagonists, the Epicnreans, said “pleasure -| is virtue.” Their argument is erushed | by one ponderous fact, the fact of the emotional | needs of man.

FRANCIS MURPHY INAUGURATES A REFORM MOVE- MENT IN THE SEVENTH STRELT METHODIST CHURCH— MUCH ENTHUSIASM, A large and enthusiastic meeting of the friends of temperance and those who desired to enlist in the total abstinence cause was held yesterday afternoon in the Seventh Street Methodist Church, Rey. Mr. Gilder, pastor, Long before the hour announced for the commencement of the exercises the body of the hall ax well as the galleries were filled and many had to leave from inability to procure even standing room. Chauncey’ Shaffer, vice presi- dent of the American Temperance Union, under whose auspices the meeting was held, presided. sAfter singing and the reading of the Scriptures and 4 prayer by the pastor aletter was read from the Rev. Dr, Stephen H. 'Tyng, Jr., regretting that professional duties prevented his attendance, but assuring them that his heart was with them in the good cause, The presiding officer then stated that after laborious work in the New England, the Middle and ‘the Western States, Mr. Murphy visited New York at a very pro- pitious time, ‘while she was laboring un- der a headache in consequence of recent political events.” He stated that while many temperance organizations had signified their desire to join in the present temperance movement, Mr. Murphy would be under the direction of no particu- lar society, but would act in conjunction with all friends of total abstinence wherever they could be found, Mr. Murphy was then introduced and re- ceived with prolonged applause. MR. MURPHY’S REMARKS. Mr. Murphy said that he was glad to be again among those from whom he had heretofore received 80 much kindness, He hoped to be able to speak the truth in a spirit of love and gentleness—‘with enmity toward none; with charity for all.’ He had no unkindness for the man who does or who does not drink. Hoe considered New York a good fleid at this time for the spread of temperance views and the conversion of drunkards to the paths of sobriety, As this was the commencement of a series of meetings he would begin at the beginning. He then gave an illustration of real life, with its various gradations and vicissitudes, showing where men of resolution had conquered adversity and were now living under the tree of prosperity. He related the story of bis early life in Ireland and his faring. to come to the New World: graphically described his passage hither; his going into a drinking saloon with some of his fellow passengers; their treating one another, ‘‘as was the custom of the country,” until they all became drunk. He often became so afterwards. He soon found him- self not only without money, but without friends. Mr. Murphy, continuing, said that he had expected to strew flowers in his mother’s pathway after ‘he came to this country from the results of his own la- bor, but the curse of strong drink prevented him. He obtained employment; but ina moment, when rui had bolst him up with the idea that he was as independent as any other man in this country, he was saucy to his employer and was discharged. He urged young men to serve faithfully their employers Ps they would command their respect. “0, young | men,” said the speaker, “have the courage to stamp the passion for strong drink upon the ground. Here, in this consecrated house, you will be helped by God’s people to crush out the temptations of the in- toxicating bowl.”” KINDNESS AND SOCIABILITY. He wanted the church people to be more sociable, and did not hold it necessary fora true Christian to go eround with lugubrious face, as if his soul was im torment. Aman with true religion in his heart had cause to be thankful, to be happy, to rejoice and to smile a smile of profound contentment. The rich church goers did not treat the poor kindly. How different this was with the saloon keeper, who would coaxingly invite a customer to take a drink whether he wanted itor no! The great charm in drinking is its sociability, and the great charm in religion should be its kindliness and fellow feeling. Mr. Murph: referred to the case of his noble hearted Scote! friend, John Courtney, who once said to him, “Murphy, you must stop fainking, and go to the country.” He took his friend’s advice, but that friend failed to take his own, and finally filled an inebriate’s grave. In illustration of what kindness could do Mr. ipa od related his experience in the country, showing how the old farmer with whom he lived won the confidence of his cattle by gentle treat- ment. “If,” said he, ‘so much can be done through kindness to dumb brutes, what may not be done by adopting the same means toward human beings Mr. Murphy next related his experience as a hotcl keeper in Portland, Me.; how he put up a bar against his wife’s advice, and contracted habits of excessive drin! until his friends decided it best that he should be locked up; the visit there of Captain Cyrus Sturdivant with the Christian people who hig for the prisoners; how he became converted and how he soon after left the prison walls a free and a reformed man. SIGNING THE PLEDGE. During several portions of Mr. Murphy's address a large number of stout looking old men and grave looking matrons, as well as many of the more youth- ful and tender hearted, were moved to tears. At the close of his remarks Mr. Murphy cried, jow, who will come up and sign the pledge? Who will be first?” ‘The work of signing the pledge then commenced, and the crush and excitement were so great that it was difficult to move in any direction. Amid the etentorian tones of the popular temperance reformer, who continually ejaculated, “Come up, men; let the women come up, too,”’ a voice crie hi, we've come # long way to see you, Mr. Murphy aud a large delegation from Troy filed into the areca immodiately in front of where the pulpit usually stands, the singing, meanwhile, being kept up with great spirit. It was the most enthusiastic and effective total ab- stinence demonstration that has been held in this city for a long time. The meetings are to be continued from day to day in different parts of the city. BLUE RIBBON TEMPERANCE UNION. ‘The Blue Ribbon Temperance Union held its regu- lar Sunday meeting yesterday afternoon at Cooper In- stitute. The opening exercises consisted of singing by the choir, reading a portion oi Scripture and prayer, after which the President elect, Mr. J. B. Gibbs, made some remarks, accounting for the smail- ness of the audience, He said that Francis Murphy, the temperance evangelist, had just commenced his labors ina church in the neighborhood, and he pre- sumed that not only the persons whom he had an- nounced to speak on the platform, but many who had rly attended their meetings, had gone to hear . The expenses, however, were the same, no matter audience might be. no matter how meritorions it might be, without money. He referred to the carrying # Stewarg remains to show what desperate means are uployed to get money, He wished, however, that Stewart; while living, had established av institution such as Peter Cooper had done, and said if he (Cooper) died there would no necessity of protecting his re- mains from resurrectionists or ghouls, for his body would be respected and suffered to remain, even if it were only covered with six inches of clay. Rev, Mr. Hutchings, a missionary preacher, next addressed the meoting, giving his personal experi- ence as to the evils of intemperance, and Few ot the thousands of drunkards he had scen throughout the conntry in his travels; alxo the many instances of young men going down to a premature grave which he had witnessed. A motion to change the name of the organization from the Blue Ribbon to the American Temperance Institute was laid over, in compliance with the constitution and bylaws, for the action of the next meeting. CITY MISSION WORK. ADDRESS BY JERRY MAULEY IN DR. BOOTH'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. An interesting meeting was held in the lecture room of Dr. Booth’s church, University place and Tenth street, last evening, Jerry McAuley, of the Water Street Mission, being the principal speaker. In opening his address he referred to the physical ills he had suffered during the year as an excuse for the brevity of his remarks, adding:—‘I never like to speak of my work in Water street, It looks like brag- ging, and I would rather other people should do that part of the talking, The work of the mission,” he said, “ig prosperous, but financially it is a little behin Last year the debt was $12,000, but it has been duced to $4,000, and one Gatleman, said last woek that he would contribute $500 toward its extinguish- ment if seven others could be found to do the same. If wecan find the seven,” Jerry said, with fervor, “we will wipe the debt out altogethe The averaye nightly attendance, Mr. McAuley said, was twenty-five. He believed the average conversions were three every night, making 1,000 4 year and 6,0¢ in the six years the mission had been in existence. ‘These figures he regarded as below the actual number. METHODS OF CONVERSION. Speaking of the men who are touched by his preach- ing he sai IT like to see a man chuck his head right down under the bench—it does me good. for then know he is being convicted of sin.” The speaker then gave several instances of conversions under his auspices, one case being that of a Chinaman who declared his purpose of going back to his own country to preach the Gospel, Sub- sequently he referred to his old mother—of whom | spoke with filial respect—and a visit she made to the mission, “Although she is a Catholic,” he said, “it we conld ave «6Cckept her three nights more we would have cotched her.” He then ave some reminiscences of his prison life and told of is conversion. When he went to his cell after he had been convicted of sin (which followed a long time after his conviction in the Court of General Sessions) qot down on his knees and prayed:—"“Dear Jesus, now I'm honest and not playing tris th t He resolved te be ge learned to pri he was conver all his sins were forgiven. lusion, Mr. MeAuley thanked the Univer- ity Place Church for the sympathy and aswistance it afforded him, and added, “1 pray God to keep me bumbie.” Ws and by thie WOULD KILL HIS MOTHER. PETER THORNTON'S WICKEDNESS CROWNED BY ATTEMPTED MATRICIDE, Mrs. Catharine Thornton is a widow, fifty-two years of age, who resides at No, 304 Mott street with her two sons, William and Peter, The latter is the younger, and is twenty-three years old, He is of eccentric habits, and is regarded as what is commonly termed “‘a half natural.” Tho elder brother is a steady, sensible young man and the mainstay of the family. He supports his mother and ne'er do weel brother on the proceeds of his salary as clerk in a downtown office. His mother had been saving up small sums of money to provide for houschold winter necessaries, and with it had intended to purchase a supply of coal, Peter ascertained the whereabouts of this little store, which was laid away in an old box. He helped himself to the scanty savings of months. The widow upbraided him for the theft. Her resolution arose with the occasion and she laid hér hand on the unfilial Peter with the intent of making him dis- gorge his gains, A struggle was the result between mother and son, the former coming out victorious. Peter capitulated with a bad grace and delivered up the abstracted funds, with the exception of $1, which he had spent in providing himself with some of the creature comforts. IGNOBLE REVENGE, This maternal victory, however, did not restore harmony to the divided house of Thornton. Peter retired to his room in # sullen mood late on Saturday night, brooded over his wrongs aud nursed his anger. He arose early yesterday morning, wud, after partak- ing of breakfast, he asked an old woman who assists Mrs, Thornton in performing household duties to go down stairs on an errand, The old woman had scarcely left the room wh she was startled by hear- ing the ig of a pistol. She returned to the room and saw Mrs. Thornton lying upon the floor with blood streaming from her forehead. At the same moment the unfilial son and would-be matricide was hastil going down stairs with a smoking pistol in his hand. He disappeared down the street an naged to elude the police who followed quickly npon his track. Meantime, the mother was prostrate on the floor, h face bathed in blood from a wound in her forehead ‘The neighbors assembled and rendered her all possi- ble assistance. At first it was feared that she was mortally wounded, and word was despatched to Police Headquarters giving an exaggerated account of her condition. As she was suffering prin- cipally from shock it was deemed advisable to remove her to Bellevue Hospital. Upon her arrival at that institution it was discovered that the wound in itself was insignificant. The pistol had been loaded with a few buckshot and one of these had glanced off her forehead, inflicting a slight wound. She soon rallied and in the afternoon was able to leave the hospital and return home. The son was arrested lust evening by Officer Thomas McGowan, of the Fifteenth pre- cinct, and will be arraigned at court to-day. HELD FOR AN OLD MURDER. The betrayal of Michael Gough by Michael Murphy in Williamsburg on Saturday for the murder of Alfred K. Mahon, in Morristown, N. J., on September 8, 1874, revives interest in that tragedy. Mr. Mahon, who was twenty-five years old, was a bookkeeper for Arnold, Constable & Co. He was on his way home, with a bank book and $63 in his possession, when he fell in with a party of laborers from the State Asylum at Morristown. Atcleven o'clock the sound of an affray was heard in,that direction, and shortly after midnight the body of Mahon, rifled of everything of value, with the skull crushed in and a gash in the chee! was found in the roadway near where he had been seen with five, bricklayers. The men scattered in every direction, and among then Gough, who, after visiting Ireland and Florida, finally settled down in Williamsburg, where a family fight resulted in his ar- rest and incarceration on the charge of murder. Gough says that the authorities declared their in- tention to lock several of the workmen up and he therefore left, but protests his innocence of the crime. The Chief of Police of Morristown will visit him to- day and be may possibly be taken to Morristown, though it is said that but little legal evidence can now be obtained on which to hold him for the murde: ‘The lateness of the hour, the loneliness of the place where it was committed and the fact that the only witnesses to the crime were the five participants, leads the police of Brooklyn to look for his release on. the charge. BURKE AND O'CONNELL. “We will now hear what you have to say,” said the Fifty-seventh Strect Court magistrate yesterday to two angry, red faced women named Burke and O'Connell, who had fought and bled for their respec- tive rights. Burke—It was her, sir, that struck me first. This eye, sir, she whacked before — ‘O'Connell——Oh, don’t believe her. Wasn't I quiet until she called me names that would offend a dog ? Judge—I wonld like to know the truth of what cither of you say, Now, Mrs. Burke, what is O'Con- nell's character ?’ Good’ or bad ? “She's a thief and a liar.” “And Mrs, O'Connell? Now don’t excite yourself, for its your turn to speak, What do yon think of Mrs. Burke ?” She's a red headed, blear-eyed, drunken, miser- able—” Burke—Let me at her, let me at her! O'Connell, rolling w Come on, then, you molish you. “No! Good women be quiet or PI lock you up. T have heard you each in turn, and. believe you both to speak the simple truth about each other, Go home.” A GLEN COVE BRAVO.

Wan- sor refused to give it to him, when Taylor, with on imprecation, raised his gun and firedathim. Several shot lodged in Wansor's arm and back, but most of the charge passed throngh his hat, and he is not dan- gerously wounded. Constable Lucas arrested ‘Taylor in the evening. Making the excuse t he wanted to out on another pair of pantaloons, he was permitted yy Lucas to go into another room, when he slipped out by the back door and made his escape, At last accounts he had not been rearrested.

To Tne Eprror or THE HenaLp:— T should like to know why the hole in front of No. 353 Bast Fiftieth street is not attended to, It has been filled with dirty water for the last year, which is very injurious to health, SAGAPORE, A DANGEROUS OBSTRUCTION, Yo rue Eprror ov THR HeRatp:— I wish to call attention vo what I consider a very dangerous projection, in the shape of @ long slab of stone, on the sidewalk between buildings Nos, 31 and 83 Union square. A few days ago an old gentleman was walking along and fell over the same and nearly broke his nose. The authorities ought to see and have the same removed, J. CM. SIDE-SEAT CARS WANTED. To THe Eprron or Tax Hrranp:— Cannot the east side elevated railroad give us a few side-seated cars? ‘Theso cars are the most popular, and why not gratify the public taste in the matter? ‘The new cars are very nice and a great improvement on the old ones, but’ they should put side seats in a few of them, and then everything would be com- plete, LOMKVILLIAN CONFUSION IN PIER NUMBERS, - To tHe Eprror or THE HeraLp:— Why don’t the Dock Commissioners renumber the North River piers, as it is very confusing? Old No, 89 is at Laight street and new No. 39 at Houston street, almost a mile away. Old No. 30 is being re- moved to make way for new No. 20. I would sug- gest that toe old piers that are to be abolished should haye halé numbers. There are no piers between Nos, 13 and 19, or between Nos, 22 and 26, M. SHORT WEIGHT, To THx Eprror or THE HERALD: At Washington Market, near Fulton street, last Sat- urday evening I purchased a pair of chickens, which the deuler told me weighed five pounds and three- quarters. As they looked small, and the dealer's scales were accessible to none but himself, upon reaching home I placed them on my grocer’s scales, when to my intense disgust I found they weighed just four and one-quarter pounds. Is this fair? A VICTIM. UPLOWN CHURCH ACCOMODATIONS. To THe Epiror or THE HERALD :— Cannot the dignitaries of the Catholic Church in this city find more church accomodation for the com- municants of the uptown districts on the east side— viz., from Fifty-fourth to Eighty-fourth street, Fifth avenue to the East River ? A delicate man or woman endangers his or her life by attending service at cither the Dominican Church on Lexington avenue or St. Lawrence Church on hty-fourth street on account of the throng that attend these churches. A CATHOLIC. BEHIND THE AGE, To THe Eprror oy tHe HERALD ‘The Erie Railway in some matters is rather behind the age. One particular instance is the inferior a] pearance of their employés about the passeng depots and trains as compared with other roads run- ning out of New York. On nearly all the other roads the employés connected with the passenger traffic are dressed in a neat uniform, and passengers know just whom to apply to for information. But the Erie Railway men are rigged out in clothes of all colors and all kinds, and the traveller in pursuit of informa- tion as to train movements cannot tell whom to address. PASSENGER. MAPLESON OPERA, To tHE Epiror or THE HERALD:— We have too much Hauk and “Carmen” to please all subscribers. I took my seat relying more on Mime. Gerster, and consequently feel as if I had not got the worth of my money. Five nights pf “Car- men,” and £0 close together, seem to me unjust to subscribers, however much they may gratify the manager who takes in the dollars of novelty-seckers, Tho sickness of Mme. Gerster is, of course, unavoid- able; but should the subscribers suffer all the loss, especially when a first class artiste, like Marie Rose, is available to replace her? A SUBSCRIBER. A BOARDING HOUSF KEEPER'S COMPLAINT, To Tur Eprror or THe HERatp:— Boarding house keepers are often represented as a gang of tyrants; but my experience in that busingss convinces me that they are frequently more “sinned against than sinning.” I do not believe there is a boarding house keeper in this city who will not in- dorse this complaint. Iam at present patronized by a number of male persons who are temporarily residing in the city for the purpose of learning vuri- ous professions in certain colleges. One would natu- rally suppose that such persons would, in their con- duct, exhibit more than ordinary evidence of good breeding: but if yon could see them in their rooms, fect cocked upon the table, filling the apartment with tobaceo smoke, expectorating upon the carpet, and so forth, you would be convinced that there are some other humbugs in this world beside Dead Sea apples. I furnish these nilemen well furnished rooms, with gas, bath, fire, and when one of them is “dead broke’ I loan him a “stake,” notwithstanding he may be in arrears for board. I also supply them with well cooked and well served food in abundance, and in return for all this I re- ceive $5 per week from each student, But this does not satisfy many of them, ‘and, like the daughters of the” horse leech, they are ery- ing, “Give, give!” Recently a number of them have left,’ saying they could get cheaper board at the restaurants, Having aseertained the average price of meals at the restaurants, I find that such meais as I furnish these gentlemen would cost them just $7 per week, and such lodgings as I farnish them would cost $4 per week, making a total of $11. Verily, there are many people in this world who would grumble if » boarding house keeper paid them for patronizing his house. A BOARDING HOUSE TYRANT. THE JEWELRY BURGLARY. Jeffreys Fanning, alias John King, and William Doyle, who also bears an ulias, were brought to the Fiftty-seventh Street Court yesterday on picion of being the burglars who robbed the jewelry store of Adolph Bernhard, No. 4 Eighth avenue, on Wednesday night last Mr. Bernhard identified Fanning as the y who was seen to put his hand through ‘th window pane and tuke the property. The jowe promised to have himself and other witnesses in_at- tondance at court to day, who, he thought, would be able to identify the prisoner aa the fox parties. They were remanded by the Judge until to-day. CRRA Tle MARRIAGES AND DEATHS, ee ENGAGED. COnEN-—-ScCHNYDACHER.—Mr, SAMUEL CoHEN to Miss Bertua Scuxypacnen, both of this city. Cards, ‘TRIER—CONEN.
