An Incident Of VI siodern civilization

A story of horror is detailed by the
New York Express. Mrs. Margaret
Dunn, with her six-year's old daughter
Johanna, lived in tenement house in
Oliver street. Last week Mrs. Damn
determined to have a good time, aud
went on a spree, bringing up at the
station-house on Saturday, too drunk
TO answer questions. She was commit
ted to the city prison for ten days, aud
on Monday she was found raving from
the effects of the liquor. and removed
TO Bellevue hospital. Here the delir-
INN passed off, aud, coming TO herself,
the wretched woman for the first time
remembered her chile, which she had
left alone in the empty tenement house
for all other tenents save these two
had been elected for non-paymeut OF
rent. A good Sister OF Charity hasten
ed to the house and there found the
unfortunate child, crohching in the
corner, alone. There was neither food
FIRE nor water in the room. The child
was in'rags, aud filthy beyond express
sion, and had traces CT dried tears up.
on her face, but when she was fonn'l
her tears had ceased, aud she was snck'
ing eagerly at her left hand, which
she had drawn all ont OF shape. The
visitor spoke to her, but she paid nc
attention beyond foolish laugh. II
was thought that she was merely veal
for the want Of food and the cold, bu
when she was taken away aud fed ant
washed-they had to cut off her hail
for the filth-it was found that she wal
demented. The doctors say the moth
er will die, aud there is but little hops
that the child will recover.
