FRUITS OF THE "WICkEDEST MAN
MOVEMENT.

1t has generally been thought that the
missionary movement which took place
in the low quarters of Water street, New
York, some time ago, and which un.
earthed the called "wickedest man" in
that city, had finally subsidized without
fruit. But Mr.. Oliver Dyer, in the last
number Of Pdckdrd'S Monthly, gives
the result of the revival in that locality
last year, which may be summed up as
follows Since the opening Ct the mission
one hundred and three girls have sought
refuge there. OF these twelve have
relapsed into drunkenness and vice
thirty eight have been sent to other
institutions ifty>three are now in
situations as domestics, and doing we'll,
and twenty-eight Of the latter have be-
come christian women. Thirtyseight
applications were made for assistance by
girls whose efforts at reform were of such
short duration as to be considered unim
portant. Five Of those in situations as
domestics have been in service six
months; eight five months; six four
months, and eight three months, and
their employers testify that, except in a
few cases, they are obedient and faithful,
while in some cases they exhibit traits
of unusual excellence as domestics. Mr..
Dyer says.
"The entire aspect Of the street has
been changed. Dance house after dances
house has been closed, and rum-shop
after rum shop has become profit
less. The vicious wretches who
were wont to fatten on the pockets
and the souls OF degraded men and wO-
men now turn their faces to the wall
and weep for the departed ignOminy and
sinful thrift Of the locality. On making
inquiry st the police station, we learned
that Curley, and Fogerty, and Brooklyn
Johnny, and Sojer Brown, and Mrs. Bride,
and Scotch Mason, all noted characters
in Water street, had actually died since
the prayer meeting was inaugurated. Kit
Burns says he has not had bit Of luck
since he let the prayer-meeting folks hold
their meetings in his dog-pit. Kit has
actually had to close his establishment
John Allen has altogether retired from
the field, having given up his old place
to Kicking Jack, who is vainly trying to
make his fortune there

In recent letter, Hon. Alexander H.
II. Stuart says that he feels satisfied that
it is the true policy Of the people of Vir-
ginis to strike out the test oath and dis
francising clauses, and then to vote for
the adoption Of the residue Of the constis
tuition. "If this is DONE" he says, Eve
can elect officers and enact laws Of our
own, and within q year or two, after
the excitement incident to these politi-
cal struggles shall have passed away, we
can call new convention and form a new
constitution adapted to our existing cons
dition. By striking out the disfranchise-
ment and test oaths, almost the whole
body of our population will be clothed
with the power to vote and be rendered
eligible TO Office"
