called, at Jerry McAuley's Mission in
Water street. Not satisfied with reform
ing himself, he tried 10 reform others, and
he succeeded In establishing home for
eX'cOnyicts, which now occupies SiO,-
600 building at Houston and Mulberry
streets. The money for this was
furnished by rich men who be-
l1eVe in Dunn's reformation and IN
his mode OF reforming others. The
inmates of this house support themselves
by making brooms. Last year he estab-
lished a similar concern in San Francisco,
and he recently opened a branch estab-
lishment in Hamilton street. Dunn
makes favorable impression on those he
meets, and seems sincere and IN earnest.
The fact that he has found by experience
that honesty is the best policy ought not
to deprive him OF credit for his reformas.

NEW WORKERS HAVE REASON TO GIVE
THEMSELVES UP TO WEEPING
and wailing and gnashlng Of. teeth every
time they indulge in walking down Broad
way. The street is more or less torn mp
FROM Union Square 60 Spring street BY the
workmen who are laying the track Of
Jacob Sharp's horse railway. The result
is a perpetual tendency to blockade,
which is the more exasperating as it is
the effect Of such an unpopular cause.
This state of things will come to an end
when the road is completed, as the omni-
buses will stop running and will, conse-
Quenty, be out OF the way. but what If
business should boom, and Broadway be-
come the crowded street it once was? If
the cars run, as they are expected to,
within a block or two of each other
they will be perpetually coming into
collision with the untold number Oftrucks,
express wagons and similar vehicles
which in prosperous times render the
business streets of New York all but inn
passable. While we would be more than
willing TO enjoy prosperity even at the ex-
pense Of an eternal street blockade, the
prospect OF the Inconvenience the railway
will thus cause is none the less disgust
ing. The long lines of people, constantly
recruited, which watch the progress OF
the track laying all day long feel this, and
curses both loud and deep are constantly
uttered.
The hot weather of April, which / ex-
patiated on at 80 much length, was
succeeded by a period of almost
uninterrupted cold, but summer is at last
come, and come to stay. The foliage is
now full grown, and, as 1t has not yet lost
the tender tint of early spring, New York
Is seen clothed in her lOveliest livery. The
nights continue comparatively cool, 80
that one can recuperate from the heat Of
the day, which, alter all, is not so very
oppressive, and altogether the city Is in
its most desirable state as place Of resi-
dence.
Did you see this sad" in the announce
ment columns of last Sundays papers:
J. u. F---'s death occurred on May Is,
1885. To those whom IL may concern: Miss
r viii keep the business, only she will
improve it with new stock of ladies' and
gents wigs. both stage and street work; also
full line OF grease, paint. powder, etc.
- WIG COMPANY.
Miss f. is the daughter of the gentle
man who died on Monday. She evidently
| does not let her filial griet interfere with
| her business instincts.
Few people think alike. My mother
and sister expect TO spend the summer at
| lrvington, whichis on the east bank Of the
| Hudson, and ! asked a resident In the
near neighbOrh0od whether 1t was not
sometimes very warm there.
''Oh, no." ne answered, sit is the west
side of the ri, er which is hot. We are
protected from the sun in the morning by
the hills behind us, and then at night we
have the south wind, which they do not
get on the other side Of the river.V
MaIveling why the sweet south should
not breathe softly as much on the west
side Of the river as on the east, / spoke
to a friend who has west side sympathies
on the subject. "YOur mother and sister
will find il hot at Irvington,' he said. The
east side is the hot side of the river.
We are protected from the sun early in
the afternoon by the mountains in our
renr, and then we have the south wind at
night, which they do not get on the other
side Of the river. ID.
