The corner Of Bowery and Broome street and vicinity
seem TO have some kind of constitutional disorder and
it relieves itself by cutaneous eruption Of low rum
shops and pustuous beer saloons which always look
as they ought 10 be squeezed and rubbed with ONT
if The city wanted to scratch Itself in that particular
pant to relieve the local irritation and then ought for
the sake Of its general health to take large dose of
birthstone Immediately sferward. The liquors sold at
these places are hoee pure and bestnfu beverages,
warranted to kill st forty rods, and are the very
dri, ks wah which convvial butrevengefu man would
wish 10 regae his friend against whom he held secret
grudge. Madame Calzo, chershing, doubtless, loving
"a hrsp Of
her own Brazilian forests has taken up her abode in
the very thick of the Bowery bar-rooms as the only
things afforded by our frgd climate, at all approaching
IN hfe-destroyipg msbgnity the speedier venoms to
which che has been accustomed in her delightful
southern home. First-rate facilities for druggipg
man into state of crazy madness are offered at the
bar across the way; he may sw himself into condi-
ton Of beay stupidity with lager beer from next door
below be may be pleasantly poisoned by degrees with
the drugged alcohol in forms which is sold next
door above; he may be more speedily disposed of
with couple of doses o4 doc,ored whisky from the
fostering den just round the corner.

Madame Caro- the Brazilian interpreter of Yankee
fate and fortunes lives in the third story of house No.
ia Bowery with her sister girl Of about fifteen yeas
Of age. The two occupy themselves with plain sew
ng except when the Madame is overhsuhng the fu-
ture az taking look al the hereafter of some anxious
inquirer who pays her much for the reliable nforms
op she pptrs in three min stes she would charge
him for making three shirts. Our reporter proceeded
to house No Isl BOwery, gave his customary modest

Our reporter took observation. On small sofa

with the needle yet sticking in it. and the scissors and
the beeswax and the measuring tape, and the bodkln
hall concealed nside the knock at the door had
