| REDUCTION OF REsrs-Oae of the most lucrative
kinds of business, carried on in this city for few
years past, has been the practice OF renting large
houses, by spectators, for the purpose OF letting
them again in whoe-or to several families at exor-
bitant prices. Fortunes have in this way been swim
died cut of the industrious community by lazy rogues,
who thus live and fatten the wants of the commu-
nifty. We wonder that owners Of real estate will
through mere incidence permit this kind ofextorion
TO be carried in their Names where they reap Pc
cunary benefit from it, bat curses instead of blessings
from the tenants.
A most fragrant instance of this nature occurred
last February in Charlton street. Mrs. Dickson, a
widow, held lease of three story house in that
street, at comparatively low rent, having, from i'll
health been unable any longer to continue her usual
business persuaded by fellow calling himself a
money collector and house agent, to give him pow
er of attorney to transact her affairs. Immediately
on obtaining this and without consulting her, he lei
the house in apartments at double the rent actually
paid by the widow.
This coming to the knowledge of her son Mr..
John Dickson, 432 Greenwich street, he prevailed on
his mother to recall the power of attorney granted
the house agent, and to consent TO reduction of the
rents Of the tenants which had been exaced by this
man, amounting to nearly the wholo Of the ad-
vanced rent When will the tune come when honest
industry will be properly rewarded, and the drones
mrned ont of the hive?
AN IscrpEsr.-"Can you give me five dollars sill
vers in change for Chemical nete?" asked a re-
spectacle old lady, entering my office the other
day.
81 want to say something to you about an unfor-
tunate young woman going west" said beautiful
young married lady to me at the same moment the
old lady on one side the young one on the other.
As always pay Difference to years. even if beauty
should be in the other scale as il was in this instance
gave audience to the old lady, first handed her the
change and took her Chemical note. Then came
beauty's turn.
The young married lady, blushng like Aurora, and
apelogizing for intruding told me long story of
poor girl who had been betrayed by enc of us, ras-
caly men, in the shady groves of New Jersey, proba-
bly, under Of their lovely and fragrant peach trees
with Satan grinning at distance, and the angels
at heavens chance covering their faces with azure
korchiefs
"Mr. B." said she, 81 am Mrs. So and-so; my
husband knows YOU and have taken the liberty to
ask you to assist poor soul in distress, because
think she deserves it. We making up little
purse for her. She going of the mountains and
am sure You will do as much as yon can" said the
sweet young wife with thetear Of pity melting in her
eye and giving her fair face more radiant aspect
than lift had been edged around with diamonds.
81 certainly will" said ], putting the IS Chemical
note into her hand
She thanked me- rose-thanked me again-looked
more charmingly than ever, and withdrew.
How delightful it is to young, beautiful virtuous
high souled woman, helping erring and repentant
sister through thsvale of tears.
The young wsman goes to the great west Who
knows but twenty years hence she may yet return to
visit New York, the lady of Judge in ouscsnsn,
of M c. in Illinois, or of governor in Missouri,
with two daughters by her side. The wes-the great
VESTS the place of refuge for the unfortunate.
CoMMuscAros FROM MS HsSoR THE MAYOR,
AARON CLARK, MAY 81, 1887.
Why don't they call il a message7 Mayor Clark
is as good as President, Van Humbug, any day. He
commences by promising to behave himself-thats
rights speaks OF the hard times and thanks God they
are no worse quotes scripture talks Of retrenchment
and dips pretty deeply into statistics.
Value of real and personal estates in the city in
1886, s3O9, 1886, 800; Corporaonproperty sl00OOOOO
in addition, exclusive Of the property of various
churches, schools etc.
During the last year 6054l alien passengers arrived
in New York, for which the city has received S37,
339,25. How many more have been smaggledn.
The Mayor expresses some doubt whether the police
is sufficiently large for our population.
OIL 209 persons received at the Aims House at Belle
vue in 1896, only 227 were born in America.
Our foreign population is every hour increasing,
while our means Of afiording them subsistence are
every day diminishing. We agree with the Mayor
that this state Of things calls for prompt action
the part Of cur authorities.
As aniadacement for waichmen to get killed. il is
recommended that the family of the defunct be pro-
vided for by the city.
Officers are recommended to prevent Sabbath break
ing We are too far gone for that.
The Mayor says he won't have any mobs
KI vultures, and other carrier birds necessary
and useful animals, but one likes them that ac
