more economical way than for years
past. The attention Of gentlemen
was largely paid to reducing their
carriage expenses, and most took the
short cut TO do this by going on foot.
Men who spent twenty-five dollars
for carriage hire last New Year,
gleefully told how they had brought
it down to eight dollars for this. The
pleasant mildness Of the day gave us
the funny spectacle of superine call
ers going their rounds in full-dress
suits. As if a lady should parade
Broadway in a trained dress, with a
lace cape on her bosom.

THE HELPLESS POOR.

Vigorous efforts are made by the
Benevolent Societies to provide foI
the helpless poor, before the cold,
which we are taught will strengthen
as days lengthen. SoGp-houseg arc
set up in different parts Of the city,
where . hot, nourishing meal is given
for about six centsl and several de-
cent free lodging-houses afford shell
ter for the homeless, deserving poor /:
leaving the statioR-houses 70 keep the
professional tramps and beggaFs.
Two things are wanting to make the
life of the poor in New York and
elsewhere anything bit intolerable
wretchedness. The first is decent
lodgings, and provisions a; a low
rate. Ii is rue tina: rents AID ex-
penses il general are three times rs
high here as they are in London: a
fact which weighs heavily Oh the
rich. and is all but extinction TO the
poor. High rents force the price Of
everything up to correspond, in order
to pay them nor need any Of your
readers think this is 4 matter which
does not concern them: for the ten
dency of prices, Of work and pro-
duce in other towns, tends to that OF
the great centers. Servants measure
their wages, and merchants their
gains, by the prices in New York
There isn't a village where this is
read, that people do not charge as
near the regular rates of the cities,
as they dare. There is not a town
in the States, that is DOT interested,
for its own sake, IN the condition Of
things here because it must feel
their influence sooner or later. The
only comfort Of hard times, is, that
they must bring living down for rich
and poor. The ey;ortion of rents
charged in tenement houses is fright
fol 1t is a fact that the swarming.
squalid tenements Of filthy streets
bring in more rent than uptown dwell
ings. Not On attic closet. with half
