Yours truly,

The wit Oft Telegraph, we regret to
learn, is of SO ponderous and iurgid a ma
iure as 10 puzzle and parry even the
irenchanl powers Of the editor of the n.
o. Journal. Ii pure attic wit cannot be
found in the Telegraph, alas for the dearth
and barrenness of this region. One CO.
temporary after another has been con-
signed to abortion aud oblivion, and now
il seems, Jordan is our road to travel, al
so. Those gli;tering shafts of true Athe-
nian temper, have now but one Northern
Ohio emanaliOn, If, peradventure, our
neighbor over the way is excepted. The
aurora borealis will no doubt leave the
pole for the Occident, and hereafter NAV
be found gathering about the head of the
Journal Office.

The c., C., C. & 1. election, which took
place at Cleyeland on the Alb inst, was q
very earnest affair, more so. perhaps. il
the way of preparation, than in the mat
ter of voting. The struggle was between
he Z. 5. & N. s. interest on the one side,
and the Broad Gauge on the other. At
last years election only 5000, 900 were
represented, being about $4,000. 900 more
than was usually voied-ia previous elec-
tions. Two weeks before the election. the
broad gauge party. headed by a. B. HurI-
but, held 81, 900. 900 of stock. The oppes-
ing party, representing the old stock hold
FRS, and headed by Leland Bros. & Fergu-
son, brokers OF New York, held about T.
100000. This alarmed the broad gauge
faction, and by strenuous efforts and the
liberal expenditure of money, it succeeded
in getting $4,000, 600 in shares and prox-
les. This contest forced the shares up to
50 IN the New York market, at which
many of the stock holders of the Leland
party sold out, giving the victory, as it
turned out, to the present management
Nearly the whole stock was voted upon,
there being $13,5OO,OOO, out OF the $l5,-

Subscriptions were now called for, for
the Temperance stock, in shares of s.,

hundred dollars were subscribed, which
was thought TO be falr beginning. The
expectation, however, is to have this sum
very much increased by further efforts
The object Of the fund raised is to meet

from time TO time as the exigencies CT the

THE TENEMENT HOUSES.
One half of the million of people who
make up the great Babel live in what are
called tenement houses. You, oh dwell
Ter in the village or in the country, have
an idea that house is structure of sew
en- to twelve rooms, in the centre of a
pretty piece of ground, with flowers, fruits
and such things about it, where a child
may be born and grow up with decent,
healIhful surroundings. This is not what
SOC, 600 people in this city know as a
house. To them a house means vast
building, four or five stories high, divided
INTO small rooms, the rooms ten feet
square, the bed rooms closets. Light, the
cheapest Of all things, is in these places
luxury, and ventilation is impossible
Often twenty. thirty, and forty families
are crowded into a single building, and
instances have been known where as
many as hundred and fifty apartments
have been crowded together under one
roof, each uf them inhabited by a family
of from three to five persons. Huddled
together in these communities of crime
and flth, large part of the City's pOpu
lation live and die here, without ever
having known the true significance of the
word, "home"
The extent to which the overcrowdIng
system of tenement houses is carried in
New York. exceeds that of any other
Christian city in the world. A compare
tive exhibit OF the
POPULATION TO THE SQUARE ACRE,
AMONG our poor people, shows that in
the Eleventh Ward, it is, 3ee; in the
Thirteenth Ward, 31I /; in the Fourteenth
Ward, 275, and in the Seventeenth Ward
2sO-these being the four most densely
thronged districts in New York. London
has but one district that approaches this
