HORRORS or THE mErRoPOLIS.

HORRORS OF THE METROPOLIS.
A terrible revelation was made by the
police Friday, says the New York Ex-
press. who report the discovery of a
mother and child dead. and their bodies i
10 such fearfullY emaciated condition
as to leave no room for doubt that they
died of starvation. The wOman's name
was Celia Cox, and she had lived III q
little rear room on the fourth 4Oor Of the
big tenement house, No. l02 Washing
tor street. Stretched out upon miser-
able apology for a bed, upon the floor,
the officer found ,he bodies OF thewoma
and infant child. They had been dead
about three days.
The dead woman's face looked more
like that of skeleton than that Of per-
son who had but recently died. Her
thin cheeks were sunk so that they al
most met, clearly showing every bone
about the mouth and forehead. The
ewes were sunken nearly out Of sight.
and the thin hands lying on Der breast
were transparent. A large brown bible
was placed under her chin to prevent
her Jaw from falling. Her teeth could
be plainly counted through her thin lips,
and the bones about her shoulders
seemed ready to cut through the SKIN.
Beside her, with its tiny head resting
peacefully, lay the dead child. 1t was
the merest phantom of a human being,
and had turned perfectly black. One
little hand was laid lovingly on its
mothers breast, while its feet reached
scarcely to the mothers elbow.
1t weighed about two pounds, and a
doctor who subsequently saw it stated
that he had never seen anything human
10 wasted. The husband of the dead
woman is Il sailor on line of boats run
ming from this port to Richmond Nir,

of the vessel was "Tigris, ~ "Tedus or

From the Pittsburgh chronicle.
Jtis stated that Mr.. James Parton is
rejoicing over his first baby" Parton
PsrtonP Yes, we remember, now. Mr..
Parton married Fanny Fern. Was her
third husband. And when she died he
married her dsughter-his stepdaughter.
But he could not endure the idea of being
a step. father. 1t was repugnant to his
feelings. So he married her, and then
discovered the laws of the State did not
recognize such marriages, and asked the
lsw.mskers to make little law for him,
but they refused, and he moved off the
premises without notifying the landlord,
since which time we had not heard OF
Rim until this baby reminded US of.these
things. But what bothers us now is to
Ak Mr.. Parton's relationship-or rather
his numerous relationships-to that baby.
In the first place, ought we to call him
. father or grandfather Because it is
his child, and his grandchild. But If
that baby Is his grandchlld and Parton
ia its father, bless us, Parton must be
brother to himself That is quite clear.
And il Parton is his own brother, why
then he must be uncle to that baby
That follows, of course. And IT he Is
uncle to that baby his wife
must be Its aunt. Why,
there is no end to this con-
fns,on. Of course, Mrs. Parton can't be
aunt and mother at the same time. The
,des ia absurd. We see now where we
we're in error. The exact relationship
may be stated thus: Parton is father
and-is it a half or fourth grandfather
No matter call it q half. Consequently

a yery high toned pursuit to be thus

At that-through the labyrinth of
straw and feet, and market baskets,

floor of a street car ordinarily presents,
hut one can hardly take trip OF any
considerable length without witnessing
inst such a hunt. One OF the most dig
n;fied passengers on Highland car had
an experience of this kind last evening.
The coin glinted rs it tell, and sort OF

Testing place. The dlgnitied traveller
was evidently no novice rs to the deceit
fitness of these little jinglers, for he APP
prosched that cent with the cautious,
stooping motion Of boy trying

blow. He made the clutch with smile
of satisfaction which was meant to re-
nrove the incredulity of his fellow pas
senpers, but handful of dirty straw
was his only reward. Then he started
the litter and clutched again as he saw
the little disc diving into mysterious
depths, but the unsaintllke expression
of his face showed inrther lack of sue
cess. Then he just "went for that
bedding, and the more the passengers
tried to keep from laughing the madden

stamped and bulled the straw, but the
cent rarher seemed to like it and kept at
a safe distance. Then the man made a
shoyel.plow of his hands and turfowed
the very flooring; then he took to rat
terrier tactics and tried to worry that
penny into compromise, but it was
eight to seven against him all the time
At this iuucture glance from the win
dow showed him that he had been carried
seven blocks by his stopping place, and
his remarks as he got out on the muddy
crossings were hardly fitted for the neigh
borhood of the tabern scle.

sIn the name Of the Prophet, Pigs p cried
the Smyrniote fruit dealer. In the name
and interest of the workingmen Of the
United States the Pennsylvania miners are
flooding the coal mines. What brilliant
set they are; doing their best to make coal
dear TO the working people Of New York.
New Jersey and all the Eastern States this
winter! The genius who in bank riot ad-
vised the mob to burn up the banks notes
was nothing to these sapient miners. Every
one of them ought to have leather medal,
with suitable device engraved on it.
The railroad companies own most of the
mines. They own also the stock on hand
Of coal. If in consequence of the stupid
ity Of the miners, coal goes up the railroad
companies will make money The miners
profess to hate the companies; hence they
flood the Mines and all this they are doing
in the name and on behalf of the working
men Of the United States 1t is really one
of the most remarkable cases Of blind, I'M
reasoning folly in history. They do not
appear to have even one man among them
with wit enough to see that the effect of
their brutal destruction is to injure them
selves and those whom they pretend to call
friends and to benefit the men they choose
to dislike.
If, next winter, coal should rise to famine
prices here in New York. where thousands
of families buy it by the bucketful, these
poor sufferers will have to thank for this o
parcel of ignoramuses in the coal mines,
are really the enemies of all Industrious
workingmen.

prepar.n. for a Decisive Blow.

1t is evident, from the news conveyed in
our latest dispatches, that the crisis Of the
campaign in European Turkey is approach
ing. Both belligerants are preparing for a
decisive battle that will definitely settle
their relations with regard to Bulgaria
And as the fate Of that province will deter
mine that of the adjoining one. Roumelia,
the Ottoman power in Europe is either
about to be crushed forever or
to receive o new lease of exist
ence. Russia is actively organizing two
reserve corps, which, when modified and
transported to Roumania, will encamp near
Ploejesti. Detachments from these corps
will probably be sent to the Danube to re-
lieve the troops engaged there in watching
the shore from Giurgevo to Kalarasch, and
enable them to be forwarded toward Rasgrad
and Tirnova, where they will strengthen the
field army. On the other hand, the
Turks at Plevna are massing their forces
for nm attack on the Russian line of commu-
nications between the Balkans and Sistova
and Mehemet Ali is reported to be already
within twenty miles of Tirnova. The news
from Sistova that the Czarovitch has de-
feated the Turks near Rustchuk with great
loss indicates the commencement of the
general movement. 1t also appears as if the
Russians were making decided progress in
the direction of Plevna That the Sultan has
little faith in the prospects Of victory for his
arms rs proved by the significant prepa-
rations said to be. in progress for his
abandonment of Constantinople and his
retirement to Broussa, in Asia Minor. That
often besieged and revictualled town, Mic
sizes, is likely to be battered into surrender
by the Montenegrins. The uninterrupted
siege now in progress indicates that the
Turks cannot spare q battalion for the
relief of the place. From another source
we learn that the Circassians are at heir old
work Of murder and outrage This, with the
brutal mutilation of the dead and the
murder of the wounded by the Turks can
not fail to fan the flame of Russian ven
geance and take from the conflict every
aspect of civilized warfare. Meantime tho
Servians are becoming more impatient and
Austria talks Of mobilization, while Eng
land creeps toward the Dardan Giles. SO as
to be ready to spring upon Gallipoli when
the opportunity presents itself We there
fore repeat that the crisis Of the war is
drawing near.
