care there any human beings in this
house? ?" A few days ago these words were
addressed by two ladies, whose names We
are not at liberty to give, they are on rec.
ord, however, where all tears are wiped
away and all deeds of mercy reward, TO
soldiers wife who ley dying 10 the topmost
garnet of one of our overUrowded tenement
dwellings. The story II "a sad one. and
alas! there are many like il of which the
world never hears. The poor womsO's
husband was in the Lexington Avenue
hospital, given up by the surgeons. One
OF bis legs had been amputated. and o
Mimic ball had passed through his breast,
SCATTERING the shoulder blade. He had
requested the ladies to find his wife, If pos.
sible, and after long search they succeeded.
The garnet IN which they Sound her was
without fire, bed or furniture of any des.
eruption. She lay shivering upon+a piece
of old carpeting with the Gold VIVID blow
ing over her from broken window, and
child only few days old beside her. She
was dying OF exhaustIOn and exposure, with
no creature near her save her wailing
babe. "Are there no human beings in the
house 2" said the ladies. There are plen-
ty Of beings" said the unfortunate woman,
tpub "hotuOt thOy dEo guuudn OF NOT
cannot say" 1t was too late to save her,
but she was made as comfortable as posi-
bic, aud died with sympatbizing faces
leaning over pillow and 10 the full aseu-
rance that her infant would be cared for.
The husband, too. is dead. 1t seems in
credible that in house containing scores
of people-hus6ands and fathers, wives and
mothers among :hem-this soldiers wife
should have been left without Gre, light,
food or covering, with q newborn infant at
her side, to die of starvation aud eoId.--
Nevertheless the story is strictly true and
We are informed BY the narratOTs that there
are scores Of soldiers wives and widows in
this city who are now suffering from lssk
Of common neCessaries Of life. Many good
Samaritans are at workout the Geld 10

every Cabinet officer who disputes it, and
to silence every press that lifts lite guilty
columns sgainst it."

"This is q war Of exterminatiou-aw war
