OUR NEW YORK LETTER.

a City Full of fCranks-3oings of Crazy
parture-Politics. Weather and Trade.
New YORK, October 81, 1882
EDITOR CHIEF:
New York is full Of cranks, many o
them just as we'll known a. the Aston
House or the Post Office; men and women
! who ought to be looked after by some one
but what is everbody's business is no.
body's business, and some one has to get
killed or wounded before tho police ask
themselves if it is their duty to interfere
The incident of the week has been the
attempted assassination of a number OF
women by crazy Frenchman, OH Four
teenth street. There was nothing secret
about tit was done in open day, in the
middle of the afternoon, when New York
fashion was airing itself on one of th.
most crowded and fashionable thorough
fares in the city. Fourteenth street, be-
tween Union Square and Sixth avenue,
is filled with rich stores, the windows of
Which are crowded with fine jewels,
costly laces, and the rare products of
French and Persian looms. 1t is only a
few years ago since it was quiet, dreary
old street, jnst OH the outskirts of the
town, and on either side were the mag
niticent houses of wealthy bankers aud
successful merchants, whose business
was away down town near Wall street
or the Battery. All that is changed now ;
the old burghers have been driven away
by the necessities of trade; one by one
the mansions have been converted into
stores, and the quietest thoroughfare on
the outskirts of New York has become
the busiest mart of trade. On Tuesday
afternoon, October 9, it was crowded
with ladies' aud children, when all of a
sudden were heard shreks and cries Of
agony, and women aud children were
seen rushing to and fro us if pursued by
demons. If a wild beast had suddenly
burst from his cage it could not have
created greater CONSERVATION. Suddenly
WOMEN were seen to fall upon the side
walk, and then it was discovered that a
crazy Freuchman, armed with pair of
steel compasses, was just running a-muck
through the crowd. The result is yet
difficult to be summed up; some of the
wounded people may die, aud others
suffer the effects of Tuesdays onslaught.
The question arises, who is responsible ;
For years this maniac has paraded Broad
way with couple of boards slung over
his shoulders OH which were recorded
several supposed incidents in his history.
Everybody knew he was inad-m:,d as a
March hare-but nobody seemed to care
for the poor witless wretch till he had
killed or manned somebody; then every
body wonders why he had not been con-
fined before. While he was at work he
stabbed right and left, aud he had sue
ceeded iu doing terrible execution before
he was stricken down. Not ten minutes
after was walking up Broadway ana
met another Frenchman who had lived
on tue sidewalk for twenty years he
rarely speaks. but it is his custom to
stop and make faces at men and womclr

MALARIA,

The shades of night were falling fast'
As through Jersey village passed
A youth who bore, mid fog and rain,
A banner with the strange refrain
Malaria!
His brow was sad; his eye beneath
Looked Like q man III the throes of death;
Az like an empty barrel r,lng
The accents OF that ghostly tongue
Malaria!
In happy homes he saw the light
" household fires gloom warm and bright,
Above the spectral visions shone,
And from his lips escaped O groan-
Is this maiarial"
Try water hot the maiden said;
The disease you We got" the doctor cried,
"oh' yes, sec,' the voice replied
I've got malaria!"
~ Oh stay" the maiden said, "and rest
A tear stood in his bilious eye.
But still he answered, with sigh
1t is malaria!"
+" Beware the night air, fog and blast!
Beware the cartoon drawn by Nast!"
This was Miss Nancy's last good night;
A voice replied, far out Of sight
Malaria!'
At break OF day. as on his way,
a plous fisherman of Newark Bay
Uttered his oft-repeated prayer.
A groan came through the misty air
"Oh, my malaria!'
a traveller BY dyspept;c hound
Half buried In the mud was found,
Still grasping in his bony hand
A banner soiled with jersey sand,
And marked malariai
There in the twilight, cold and dead,
A yaller corpse in q malarious bed,
And from the depths, in deep despair,
A voice fell through the murky air
"Oh, curse malaria
MORAL.
Beware, kind friends, and do not feel
That every time your head does reel
You have all ills that flesh is heir,
And always CRY. Malaria
