Lady Drunkards in New York.
From the New York Sunday Dispatc

tIiS 4NtN VI cuuNitty DISpdtCu. !.
A few days ago carriage, with liveried
coachman, drew up at the station-house OF
the Twenty ninth Precinct, containing a
widow woman, elegantly attired, in a gross
state of intoxication 1t required the uni
ted efforts of the driver and two policemen
to carry the partially insensible woman into
the station. house The charge was made
By the lady's own coachman that she was in
the habit of driving down two or three times
a week on shopping excursion, and ii was
her custom on these occasions 20 visit
fashionable restaurants to dine, not forget
ting to drink sufficient wine to always go
home a!oriously drunk. On this OCCASION
she became so totally obllrlous, and conse
quentiy SO uncontrol able, that John felt it
his duty to deposit his load at a station
house instead Of al her elegant mansion in
the upper part the island besides this,
it was not yet daylight, and it would never

behold the sight OF a lady Of wealth AMI
rank coming home IN such a state After
the lady" had remained in the station
house Sufficient length of time to become
partially sober, she was taken to the .Jeffer
son Market Police Court, where she was
sentenced TO ten-days imprisonment She
vas accordingly locked up in cell, bat it is
said When she became perfectly sober and TO
a realizing sense of her degraded position,
she drew forth her plethoric pocket book,
paid the fine and was released from confine
ment This woman, not yet forty years of
age, was but few short years ago, a reign
ing belle of New York society, and bears
the name of an honorei New York family
Out Of respect to a family which has suf~
tered no other disgrace we refrain from
printing her name. When she was brought
to the station>house she had with her in
her carriage basket filed with fruit, bon
bons, and other fancy nick-nac of wo
manly fancy; but probably from shame at
her humiiated condition, she has since
failed to call or send for them. Cases such
as this are rare in this city, we are happy
TO be able to say, although we do rot deny
that drunkenness among women, particu.
larry of the upper classes, is by no means a
rarity; but, as a rule, woman with depraved
appettes have sufficient respect of their
friends, if not for themselves. to continue
their rotations IN their own rooms and re-
moved from the public gaze. -

The Vagrant Children of New York

From New York Letter
1t is startling fact, lately announced by
the Superintendent of Public Institutions,
that in this city of ours we have over forty
thousand yagrant children between the
cgcs of FIVE and fifteen, and it is said that
notwithstanding the strenuous efforts OF or
ganized private charity, the number is con-
tinually on the increase. This army of vag-
abond children is large one, without
homes, illy'clad, and subsisting upon what
they can beg, or derive from the last resort
theft. Of this number but very small
portion have ever been within an educa-
tional institution, and being curbed for
once from the mischief and vice they have
acquired in our great thoroughfares, they
soon become truants. TRAY Il through our
city late at night, and they will be found at
all our low places of amusement. They
will work industriously all day, or steal, to
obtain enough money TO admit them to low
concert saloons and theatres. The Super
ntendent thinks many children become va
grants through the fault of the existing
laws. Their parents are sent to prison, and
they are left suddenly without homes. He
thinks the State should make some pro-
vision for these children of criminal pa
rents. 1t is benevolent thought, but
there are various reasons why the charities
of the State should not oe multiplied Mr.
Rice also recommends the creation of a
special force OF police officers, whose sole
duty 1t shall be to arrest vagrant children,
and the establishment of reformatory and
industrial schools in different parts Of the
State. He suggests that the expense of
these schools could be paid out of the
money derived from the granting of Ii
censes to sell liquor.

The Maryland Case.

We do not wonder that the refusal oil
the United States Senate to give Philip
Francis Thomas the seat in that body tc
which be was elected by the Maryland Leg
islature creates considerable Indignation in
the last named body. as indeed it must all
ever the country. Mr.. Thomas was never
a rebel, and he was willing to take the Con
gressional iron-clad test oath. Yet, upon
the miserable pretence that he sympathized
with the rebellion, the Senate undertakes
to deprive the State of Maryland of hel
chosen representative. The reason of this
is simply that Maryland is a Democratic
State. The Representatives Of Kentucky
are Kept out of their seats in the House for
the same reason, just as Stockton, from
New Jersey, was ousted from the Senate,
and just as many other real and true repre-
sentatives of the people have been turned
out or kept out of Congress since the Radi-
cal party got into power.
1t is just such acts as that we have
named-acts which meet the disapproval
OF men like Trumbull, Fessendcn, FreIing-
huysen, Grimes and Anthony, who, with
four other Republicans, voted to admit Mr.
Thomas-which disgust the people with
Radicalism. They have had enough Of it.

@ Jay Cooke, the we'll known banker,
has Wcltten long letter to the Philadel-
phia journals on the FIVE ,wenties. He
brings stong array Of facts to prove that
they were intended to be paid in gold, but
he declares that 1t is useless to discuss the
question now, before the lapse of twenty
years. He highly praises Gov. Seymour
for his position in favor of paying the bonds
in gold Mr. Cooke thinks be could with
out any shock to the business Of the coun-
ny, resume specie payments by the first of
January, 1870. He thinks that the ten

q Rapid Increase of Population.

Some idea may be formed Of the rapid
increase Of our population from the follow
Ing we'll authenticated incident, for which
we are indebted to the editor of the San
Francisco Directory:
One day last week, an employee engaged
in compiling facts for the forthcoming di-
rectory, stopped at house in this city,
rang the bell, and found himself confronted
with the proprietor, when the following di-
alogue ensued:
Will you be kind enough to furnish me
your name for the directory p
Certainly my name is -"
Have you family?' .-.eoft
Yes, wife and servant
/" Any Children
Wait moment; I'll go and see
In the course of five minutes the proprie
tor returned and joyfuly remarked
Yes, you can put down one boy.
1t seems that his lady had prese nted
him with son. The employee returned
his acknowledgements, and moved off to
gather information elsewhere. About half
an hour afterwards he was returning
through the same street, when he heard a
hail from the house Of the gentleman above
referred to, and on going up the gentleman
remarked:
You en- put me down for two chill
dren."
His lady had presented him with anoth-
er fine boy. The above is an actual occur
renee, and but one of the many curious adj
ventures that attend the business of d.
rectory employe.

IL A Cork paper says the scene at
George Francis Trains second lecture in
that city was lively. Ribs bent aud allsbut
cracked hats we're smashed loose proper
ties were torn away. An elderly gentle
man, wearing part of his coat, having the
handle of his umbrella embedded in the
pit of his stomach, and his hat firmly
jammed over his eyes and nose, implored
mercy in vain. Entrance into the galleries
was no deliverance. There the crush was
something tremendous. Motion was i'm
possible. The mass was forced into every
interstice and down to the edge Of the rail-
ing By the constantly increasing pressure
from without, and many of those in the
front clambered over to escape. and slid in
to the body of the hall, previously crowded
to Inconvenience.

CHINESE GAMING HOUSES. The Chi
nese gambling houes in California are very
carefully guarded. The games are usually
carried on in an inner room, to which there
is no cntrance save through a very narrow
hall, with many sharp angles and posted
sentries to obStruct the passage of strang
ers or police officers. Recently an officer
went to one of these Chinese houses with
two other officers. He succeeded in push
ing past the first sentry, and entered the
narrow hail, but suddenly a slip moose was
dropped from hole in the ceiling above,
which fell over his head, and vigorous
and sudden jerk upward frightened the rope
about his neck, and he found himself al
most lifted off his feet. The men above
had a good will to raise him to the ceiling
and choke him to death, but the other Of
ficcrs rushed in, cut the rope, and released
him. His neck was considerably injured
by the moose, and as no one could be seen,
the officers did not attempt to go further.
