THOSE UUJ GIVE.

IHONI " M bIb r.
The recent libcrlty exhibited by the com
munity in relieving the sufferers by fire in
Michigan and in cudcayoing to give express
sion to its sympathy with the widow and
children of the President has reminded us Of
the many and generous donations which have
been sent within year or two to this Office.
upon different occasions and in response 10
various appeals. How various these appeals
have been a mass OF correspondence now be-
fore us attcsts. Here are letters which once
contained considerable sums intended for the
relief Of the cOorcd refugee in Kansas, and
here are others acknowledging the receipt of
these sums in that State, with particulars of
their distribution. Most Of these were written
in 1879, when the heart of the people was
so strongly moved by constantly recurring re
ports of the distress Of those who had fled
from outrage and cruelty 10 State I'M
tainted by the traditions of slavery, and
who were struggling with all the Difficult
ties Of founding a new home, with housclcss-
ness and nakcdncss and starvation. Here is
another bundle attcsting the pity which suf-
fcrcrs by that dread pcstilcncc the yellow fever.
excited in hundred bosoms, in the year SIS.
At that time, during period reaching from
August 27 to October p, we had the pleasure
OF paving over to the Mayor Of New York. i'm
behalf of this particular bcncvOlcncc the sum
of $1,793. Another interesting parcel is that
of the correspondence elected by the contribu-
tons to the West Side Relief Association and
Sea Side Sanitarium for Destitute and Sick
Children Of Ncw-York City. These donations
are sometimes for considerable sums while
other letters inclose what might really have
been the widows mite. There is no plcasanter
feature of these epistles than the fact that
many of them came from children, who in the
comfort and plenty of their own homes have
remembered their small brothers and sisters
dying by inches in squalid attics or pestiferous
cellars.
There is an old Injunction and n sacred one.
the purpOrt of which is that one hand is not
to know what the other hand has been kindly
doing. In looking over these letters, it is al
most exhilarating to observe that most of the
benefactiOns are anonymous. The modesty of
true benevolence seeks concealment in initials.
More than three fourths of the letters are I'M
signed, at least in any way which will betray
the writer's. Sometimes, indeed there is no date
to the kindly missives, and scarcely any ear
mark by which the sender may be found out,
if re cognition should be desirable. Another
popularity of these letters is that there
is no sentiment in tbem-no falsetto of
affected pity, no pose of commiseration.
They merely say that inciosed will be found
so much money. VIII the Editor of THE
TRIBUNE be pleased to make acknowledgment
in the columns Of that newspaper that the

Until there is change in human nature, it Is
probable that innocent persons who have en-
gagged in litigation will, from time to time, suffer ex
tortion at the hands of officials who have il in
their power to levy charges, the rightfulnesss of
which those who pay them have no means of deter
mining. Fortunately, and then some conscience
less official is compelled to make amends for over
stepping the legal limit and to disgorge his l-gottcn
gains. An example of this kind has recently occurred
in our local courts deputy-sherif took charge of
certain property under execution and sold it to sat
isfy Judgment. For this invaluable service he put
in bill for nearly $1,000. The unfortunate
plaintiff was dismayed to find that this consumed
nearly the entire proceeds. He applied for redress
and got it very promptly. Judge Freedman reduced
tho extortonato deputy's bill offeesnearly ninety pei
cent-to less than $3.50. The Judge remarked that
the fees arc fixed by law. and that the sheriff can
