A VERY SAD CASE OF POVERTY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
l ventured. through your columns this MORN
ing, to appeal anonymously to a benevolent
public in behalf OF q poverty-strcken widow,
with an idiot son, and already this evening
she has called upon me to express
her gratitude for The abundant charity which
has poured IN upon her all through the day
Emboldened by this result now presume, over the
responsibility of my own signature and without the
knowledge OF the person referred to, to state
the case-one Of perhaps the hardest In real life
Of poor gentleman in absolute distress. This
gentleman was introduced to me few weeks ago
by one who has only a single competitor for the
leadership Of the bar OF this CITY, with the view OF
obtaining for him some small Office in the public
service. There was none that l could myself be-
STOW upon him, and the pressure OF overwhelming
effort elsewhere. lie was introduced to me as an
accomplished lawyer, who, after serving with dis
on se nts psa or me the
OF large cities; and not only his
accomplishments, but also his character and
terms. have personally investigated the matter,
and endorse the recommendation He il cousin to a
distinguished former Member OF the British Parlla-
ment, who Is now Governor OF one OF the
Provinces; but his cousin, who countenances him
in every way, Is unable to give HIM any Official
prelerment, because ne is an American citizen. l
have just learned that he has wife and 10 ur chill
dren in q condition OF absolute starvation. The
vile IS III with pneumonia, and there Is not cent
In the house.
A person OF refined and distinguished manners,
he Is ready to do anything. Cannot some OF our
prosperous lawyers, great newspapers or others
give him emp ment, humble though it be? And
In the meantime will not the charitable come to
the rescue OF his family ! dare not give his name
or address publicly, but Will DO to any one VINO
will communicate with me upon the subject at my
Court.
1t is impossible for me to myself take around q
subscription paper to the Bar, and we all know
how Intellectual are secondary agencies III such
cases. especially when the profession has been so
often neeCed Dy mpOstOrs.
In the full hope OF a generous response in money
and offers OF work to this appeal, l remain, Mr..
Editor, respectfully yours, MAUNSELL Is. FIELD.

ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICES.

The advent Of Ash Wednesday, the first day Of
Lent, was celebrated yesterday in the Episcopal
and Catholic churches OF the city with the usual
services. At Trinity church there services at
eleven A. NJ, at three P. NJ and in the evening. A
ecture by the rector, DR.. Dix, formed the princi-
pal part OF the morning services, the music being
very PLAIN and unassumlng, as is customary ON
Ash Wednesday.
At st. Paus chapel full morning services were
he'd at eleven O'CLOCK the Rev. DR.. Haight preach
ing the sermon according to the Episcopal ritual.
The music was OF solemn character. The "Bene
dieter was sung instead Of the .'Te Deum." After
the sermon the psalm 'Miserere'' was sung by the
choir. At eight p AZ. full services were again held
in this church.
st. Peters Roman Cathoiic) church, on Barclay
street, was thronged by worshippers yesterday
morning-Ash "Wednesday being with the Catholics
especially day OF humility and duplication.
Father Farrell preached sermon in the morning
on the text "Ashes to ashes and dust to dust"
The ceremony OF sprinkng ashes on the f0reheads
OF the wOrshippers was then carried out this being
o symbol OF the mortality OF man and the fate OF
earthly things. No music was used during the
services.

AN EXPERT IN CHARITY.

Good people are not always as good as they
SEEM and the following little story on one Of the
charity experts Is pleasant appendix to the say
ing OF the same gentleman, that he thought all the
money of the charitable should be sent through
the regular channels of charity, that u.s. the exist
ing institutions. How this money may sometimes
be diverted is alleged, from its proper course Is
shown by the case OF John Christ.
Many readers Of the HERALD will remember the
case Of John Christ, who. in his misery, stole a
shawl and pawned it TO get his family bread. 1t
was in 1872, and much public sympathy was ex.
cited by the crime, so much so that justice took
cOgnizance OF his case, and he was allowed to go
free. The public was much excited in the story,
and many sent in contributions for help to the I'M
fortunate family. The contributions, it is alleged
reached the hands of superintendent Barnard

Barnard who refused him any more of the money
which belonged to him, he called upon c. A. Lane,
q counsellor.ataw, who, stating that the courts
would probably take no cognzance OF the case,
wrote letter to the superintendent asking iOr
the money. He received in answ er q letter writ

that.the circumstances OF the case were SO dim IN
his memory that he could not do any thing more
In the matter.
John Christ further states that during the year
in which Barnard had his money he never received
any notification OF the fact, and never would have
known 1t except for the accidental meeting with
Schultz, who told him how his money had been de-
tanned from him. 1t was only with the greatest
trouble that he obtained any additional money at

The systematic effort now making for answering
the complaints of poverty in the streets OF the
city has resulted in arousing spirit Of
rivalry in benevolence and works Of
charity that Is not only commendable.
but also creditable to the best side OF human ma
ture. In the pictures Of poverty given below 1t
viii be seen that rich and refined ladies from
elegant uptown residences have deemed 1t
their duty to give helping hand to the
poor by visiting the povertystricken In their
miserable dwellings, and also by rendering other
WOmany assistance.
