Small but Important Items Gathered
From All Quarters.
A man named Martin Murphy, who is
utterly worthless, and his wife, who works
out more or less and their five little child
rem, ranging in age from seven years down
to four months, lives in n most disgusting
state OF squalid poverty and filth, in room
No. g. second floor, at No. $50 Front
street The children are nearly starved,
and the room gives forth n sickcning
stencil that is certain 20 produce disease
and death. The landlord wants TO get rid
Of them, but the man says he has no
money, no place 20 90, and he won't 90.
There are three girls and two boys. They
will soon sicken and die unless cared for.
They are CHASTITY, pitiul looking sight.
IT MADE THEN DIZZY.
A dozen or moro congenial spirits and
native Italians assembled at the suburban
residence OF Mr.. X. BuChignani Thursday
night 10 enjoy his proverbial hospitality.
Native wines and macaroni constituted
the principal bill Of fare, cmbellished with
cakes, ice cream and other seasonable del
icacies. Signors Jake 5. Galloway and
Joseph j. Williams were on hand, and
created no little amusement by their pict-
urcsque figures in cutting pigeon wings.
They report that the mere thought OF the
rups which had touched their lips the
!. proyiaIls evening was sufficient 10 make n
dizzy sensation creep over them.
