Ni:V YORK LETTER.
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

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. Tho rich landlord of course hus
his projierty attanded to bv an agent
who is oxjiected to keep collections up
