Begging I'm New York.

A New York correspondent of the Bos.
ton Transcript writes: Among other
kinds of business which are fiourishinp
in New York just now is that of begging.
The mendicant is seen everywhere.
Chancellor Crosby, in an address the
other evening said that after q months
experience in personally investigating
cases in which he had been applied to
for help, he had found all beggars to be
frauds. He believed, too, that all the
beggars he had known for thirty years
past had been foreigners, or the children
of foreigners. This is sweeping as
Bertion but it is pretty near the truth.
Begging is made regular occupation to
much greater extent than is generally
known
Yet there are cases that appeal so
strongly to your sympathy that you can
hardly pass them by. I found one the
other evening. had crossed the ferry
to Brooklyn about dark, when little
girl asked me for penny to buy bread
for her sick mother. She was bare footed
and shlvering in her thin clothes, and
seemed to be deserving object of char
ity. But thought would investigate
little: So ! insisted on her taking me
to see her sick mother. Very reluctantly
oho Aoo AIo W u comfortably 1urnlSned
apartment in q neighboring street, where
l found the sick mother to be robust
Irish woman who was bustling about
preparing supper for the family.
There were ornaments on the mantel
and pictures on the wall, and an ample
supply of cold meat, bread, and tea on
the table. I nsed some vigorous Ian
guage appropriate to the occasion, when
tho woman said she had sent the child
to beg in the streets, but her reply was
characteristic of the class to which she
belonged: "Shure, and what harm is
there in the childs earning few pennies
at the ferry ?"

Decline OF the Italian Race.

One of the reasons for the deformed.
tickety, dirty. wretched, thievish inhab-
itants of Italy is the total absence OF
proper sanitary arrangements in Italian
towns and villages, from the palace to
the hovel and room tenement. Italy
the land of sunshine, art and sCng--is
land of filth ard vermin. There are
marble palaces, art galleries and blue
skies, but neither sewers, drains nor adc-
quate scavenging. Hence strangers who
are tempted to visit the world-renowned
cities pay a fearful penalty in risks from
fever and certainty of mosquito stings,
as also of punishment from other do
mestic torments. There is not one
Italian city properly severed, drained
and scaveHged. The best hotels use
cesspools, out Of which pass foul gases
and putrid fluids to contaminate both
air and water.
Ironclads with 100-ton guns, Royal
Cuirassiers, Royal Carabinieri, customs
officers, eXcisemen, police, municipal
guards and Jesuits will avail Italy moth
ing in removing the fearful causes of
disease and human distortion. When
will statesmen learn that the greatness
and strength of nation are not alone in
magnificent cities, palaces, ironclads
and standing armies, but in the health,
comfort and content of the people? The
further lesson also requires to be learned,
namely, that, where the mass Of the peo-
pie are allowed to grovel in filth and
misery, there can be no true security for
property. A Whit of grape-shot will not
cure such disease.

Opium Smoking.

San Francisco is not of the opinion
that the article in the new Chinese treaty
prohibiting citizens of either country
from importing opium here, and vessels
flying the flag of either nation from
carrying it, will destroy the trade in this
article. Opium smoking, on the Pacific
coast, is not confined to the Chinese, for
American youths have acquired the
habit Says one of the importers: "The
Chinese will get it, if it is on the top of
the earth"
