Condition.
New YORK, December lS.-The streets
and alleys OF Now York are in a terribly
filthy condition: The STRENGTHENING
service is very inefficient, and the street
sweepers and contractors are woiully in
competent and uniaithful. Taxpayers
gtoan none the less under this inllictlon Of
dirt and stenches when they reflect that
they pay 81 500, 900 per annum for street.
cleaning purposes. The World gives the
facts in detail tomorrow, and the follow.
ing is taken from its doleful description:
Thirteen dead dogs and cats were found
in the streets. The stencil arising from
these and other refuse was sickeniug.
Garbage Of every desert tion, old shoes,
hoop skirts, tinware, kitchen utensils,
bricks and plaster wer! seen on all
sides. Along Blocker street, wet Of
Broadway, the sidewalks were lined with
garbage, barrels filed with ashes,
dirt, and rotten vegetable matter. On
mug huu l4eTOJ stIeeEJ ulIlg straw shUu
stale garbage Uttered the sidewalks and
choked up the cutters. On Thirty,sec.
ond street, between Seven and Eight
avenues, the filth was terrible. The
thoroughfare is full Of poor tenement
houses, whose inmates dump all their
household filth into the gutter. Along
Third avenue and Thirty fourth street
the CUTTERS were lined with filth swept
from the stores and lodging. houses. First
and Second avenues. Thirty-ninth, Mon.

Pearl, Baxter, and many other streets
were deiaced and noisome with all sorts
OF refuse, Around Fulton and Washing.
ton markets the roads and sidewalks were
strewn with oyster shells, stale fish, rot
ten vegetables and fruit, the entrails Of
animals, and all the vile smelling refuse
Of market. Policemen are supposed to
be detailed to prevent the throwing OF
such stuff into the streets, but they were
not to be seen to day. 1t i, asserted that
every night these places are cleaned up,
and what ia seen in the cutters is thrown
there from day to day, in violation of the
most stringent ordinance Of the police de.

viii tho Negro Race Die out:

Chicago Tribune
A correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Gazette, writing from Mississippi, raises
the inquiry whether the colorcd race in
the Southern States is tending towards
extinction. He finds that a frighlful
rate Of mortality prevails among the
negroes living In the cities. In Nash
willie and Memphis most Of the blacks
are n wretchedly bad condition. In
Nashville the mortality among all shades
OF the colored people averages twice that
Of the whites, and in Memphis is nearly
two and half times As great. In Wash.
ington the deathrate among the colored
people was Al per 1000 for 1875 and 40
per 1000 for 1876, while for the same
years the white dealh.rate was 10 and 90
per 1000 respectively. In Baltimore the
death.late for 1875 was 80 per 1000
among the cOlored people and 10 per 1000
among the whites. About the same pro.
portions hold true in Chattanooga, Rich.
mond, Mobile, New Orleans, Charleston,
and other cities. The correspondent ar
CUES from these tigureS that the race is
approaching extinction in the citieE. lie
mlHut nave talhUllHneuI III hIulllhT
manner perhaps, the truth that any par.
ticular race dies more quickly in the city
than the country. The truth IL, that the
negroes, in consequence Of their ignorance
and neglect Of ordinary sanitary precau-
tions, their poor condition and bad hab.
its, do die oil rapidly in the citie'; but all
the evidence goes to show that they in
crease in numbers in the country fur more
rapidly than the whitea. In the Northern
citieS, moreover, where they have lived in
a state OF freedom for n hundred years,
they give no evidences Of decay. The ne.
groes accommodate themselves to the
modes Of the white race readily, as the
Indians and the Chinese do not. Where
the latter break, the former bend. As
they lived and increased in the days Of
their slavery, they. will thrive IA we'll in
a state Of freedom, unless freedom shall
be proved untAvorAble to the growth Of u
race-a proposition which history and
experience contradict.

Kentnckx RIne Grnss

At late meeting of the New York
farmers club, a KENTUCKY farmer said he
had had a great experience in growing
blue grass-that it is one and the same
with common spear grass, varying in size
and appearance, according to the soil and
latitude in which it grows. The plant is
a light green color, and the spikelets are
frequently variegated with blush purple.
1t flowers in June, but once a year,
which recommends it for lawns. The
produce is dinarily small compared
with other grasses, but the heritage is
fine. It grows in variety of soils from
the dryest knobs TO a wet meadow, but
does not stand drouth so we'll as the
orchard grass. It. endures the trosts of
winter, however, better than all other
grasses, and continues luxuriant through
mild winters. Blue grass requires two
or three years to become we'll set. and
does not arrive at perfection as a pasture
grass till the sward is older than three
years, therefore it is not suited to alter
nate husbandTy or where the land is to
remain in grass only few years. Blue
grass should be cut as the seeds begin to
open, spread well and protected from
rains and dews; on the second day stock,
shelter and salt.
