An Interesting Letter From Our Own Itlthard. New Yoiik, March It dawned on my thinker 17, 1888. without moment's warning that a few words from your Now York special correspondent nugm ihj aproiH.s, anu aiso to prove that I'm still out of jail. I am pluving in bet ter luck than Jlurg, us you see. The few choice remarks which follow ttcsiro to navo up)eur among your regu lar reading matter, (no matter whether they aro reudublo or not.) Thoii'ih to uiva iiiem sirengtn you might suck a patent medicine ad on each side as bracers. U10K0 remarks aro not del rious. and probably could stand by themselves, but u win no saier to give mem tho support 01 a lamp ost or otherwise. I had some idea of L'lvini! vou 11 do tailed description of Now York, but con sidering tlio number of volumes it would tako, and being aware that 1 haven't probably more than thirtv or forty years r.f nr.. i.l 1 1. .i.i. . r ui urn iK.-iuru nu, i nave, wnn uiucii re grot, given up the idea. I am stopping at a centrally located pio foundry, recommended to mo by a cousin, a real estate broker, and one of tho boys. Ho is only a second cousin. If ho was a neur and dear first cousin I should havo felt no hesitancy in killing and burying him long ago. Ilttt onlv lw ing a second cousin 1 havo refrained from being too intimate towards him. Ho has also festooned my boudoir with 11 Job 101 01 pnoiogrupns 01 scuntiv chid ac tresses, and, us a crowning achievement, threw in Ids own picture with the lot. Tho last was thu iinkludcst cut of all, ami I immediiitely interviewed him to tho olfoct tluit he'd havo to draw the lino at Now York toughs or grlin-visaged war would bo ileclured. Of course like every well bred and patriotic Woitornor I brn-j on our section of the Union on all occa sions. Tho tracts irsued by railroad com lianles nru Hat In comiiiirlHoti to mv nn. fettered descriptions, and I ofton wonder 11 the temierieet can realize tho real lies 1 occasionally work in. New York's nopulaiion now amounts to about two millions, though it looks as if the entire earth were located here, and tho average Now Yorker thinks it is. It would lie a mxsl scheme to shin about 11 million of tho inhabitants, and tho re maining natives would Imvu it better chance all around. Tlio appalling ex tremes of poverty and wealth cannot bo imagined by us of the West, and In fact U hardlv realized by the wealthy class hero.
