VIEW YORK wRETcHEDNEss.

This is the nine teenth century. When
some daring adventurer stirs up the
filtby pool Of human life in large city,
such revelations are made as render it
necessary to remind us of the. above
fact. During the heated term, New
York editor made nocturnal excursion
to locality within five minutes walk
of his Office. We will dole out few
bits of Fishers Alley midnight life, as
given by him. He says:
''The heat of the nights during the
present week drove every sober lodger
out upon the steps. the doorways, the
cellar-doors, the tagging, and the boxes.
To live in the close and sickening rooms
was difficult; to breathe without being
made i'll was physical impossiMllty.
Sleeping out-of-doors was not pleasant
Bad and poor as were the beds and ac-
commodations of the rooms, they were
preferable, in point of convenience, to
the cooler stones of the court, and yet
they could not 60 in. SO they remained
ont and kept up as we'll as they could,
and the red sun of the morning found
scores of them, pale, weary, and discour-
aged, exactly where the chaste moon
of midnight had hft them"
The children, he observes as to their
skins, were ''red spotted" In the streets
of one block, on sidewalks, handcarts,
shutters and doorways, he counted two
hundred and sevcnty-seven children and
adults, some sleeping, some trying "a
sleep. They were driven hither by
heat and bugs. In Chcrry-strct base
ment, forty-eight adults and children
were found on fioor-beds Here delica-
CIV, sexual distinction, modesty, person
al caution, and all that sort Of thing
which ordinarily mark the living oil
men and women, are of course out oil
the question. There is and can be no
such thing as delicacy, M such senti'
ment as modesty. One and all tumble
into the cellar, pay each his or her ten,
fifteen, or twenty cents according ~
to the style, and then turn in. The
place is dark, the beds touch one anoth-
er. the men are coarse aud rude and
tired, the women are low and biun,cd
in every moral sense, the children are
used to il, and orgies such as decent
men have never dreamed of are frequent
" enacted there. This week. however.
there has been such horrible discomfort.
such perpetual, continuous suffering
with heat, that unusual irritation has
been manifested, and the dodgers have
found it no easy task To keep cool INSIDE.
All night long they have tossed aud
tumbled, and sweatcd and sworn, and
wished for the day, and when the day
came, unrested they would rise aud
growl and go out into the sunlight, uu.
washed, umcombcd, unhappy
The poor, We have always
