rim HOMELESS BOYS—INTERIOR CITIES—A
snonr IIISTORY—SUNDAY—DUSINESS.
New YORK, Dec. 24, 1874.
TILE HOMELESS BOYS.
New York, like London and Paris, has its
thousands upon thousands of homeless.‘
house-less, uncured-for children who live. the
Lord only knows how and where.‘ They
are the Oiiispring of either drunken, criminal,
or unfortunate parents, who either turn
them out into the streets as soon as they can
walk to live or die, as fate may have it, or
die and leave them to shift for themselves.
Who they are and from whence they came,
they do not know themstlves. That they
are, is a terrible fact.
Some years ago Corlear’s Hook was the
rendezvous or the ~depraved and desperate
ofthe East Side. Gangs of half-grown boys,
lawless and desperate made that locality
their centre, and it was as much as the life
ot‘a man was worth to venture there. The
homeless boys arid girls there graduated
from boot-blacking and newspaper selling
to pocket-picking, burglary and murder, as
increasing years gave them increased
strength. It one died in a street brawl, or
was Ofl‘ered up a sacrifice to the law, a score
of recruits stood ready to take his place
from the numerous ranks of the homeless.
The children sleep in store boxes, iii ash-
barrels, in hay-lofts—any place that can
afford a protection from the wind and rain.
For food, the garbage barrels give them
something, the light chances of chance jobs
another part, and theft the remainder.
The Childrcns’ Aid Society, an institution
which is practical in its designs and
methods of work, determined to purify the
“Hook," and to that end established a lodg-
ing house for boys. A large building was
leased for the purpose in Rivington street,
near the East River, and placed under the
superintendence of a man who put his heart
into the work, and was not afraid to go out
at night in search of these homelessyonths,
sometimes bringing home as many as halfa
dozen to a good supper and comfortable bed.
A boy who has no money is given food
and lodging free~if they have money, five
cents is charged patch for meals and beds.
A night school, where these Arabs are
taught to read and write, is in full opera.
tion. A bath room is free to all, as well as
alibrary and reading-room, in which all
the daily and weekly papers are filed.
The effect on the boys has been wonder-
ful. The Superintendent, backed by influ-
ential citizens who give a good share of
their time to the work, not only feedsand
clothes the boys, but he instructs them how
to get an honest living, and aids them to get
in the ray ofit.
Since the House was opened it has fed
and sheltered no less than 6,500 different
boys; furnished 204,250 meals: provided
homes in the West for 4'30 boys; found cm-
pioyment for seven hundred others in the
City, and restored 160 truant boys to their
friends. Hundreds have been educated.
The good work goes on, so that the Society
has been obliged to lease an adjoining
building, to afford-more room for the pur-
pose of the lodging house and school.
There is no reformatory enterprise in the
City that has accomplished more or better
work than this. There ought to be twenty
of them where there is one.
NEW YORK Y9. THE INTERIOR CITIES.
I have mentioned several times the trouble
New York is labeling ttnder at this time
concerning her trade. The merchants of
the city have finally discovered that the loss
of trade is not chargeable altogether to
“hard times,” but that the cause is deeper.
An act passed in 1870, made ports of entry
of Chicago, Cincinnati, Toledo and various
other cities in the west, and provided that
goods might be imported direct in bond,
appraised the point of final destination, and
the duties be collected there. In consc~
quence of this, the importing trade increas-
ed very largely in the interior cities, for the
retailers were not long in discovering that
they could purchase foreign goods just as
well in these cities as in New York, and
even better, for beside the cost of transpor-
tation there is a system in doing public bus-
iness in New York that is expensive to the
outsider. The importers here will make a
vigorous effort this winter to repeal the law,
and compel dealers in imported goods to
buy in the Atlantic cities, as Of yore.
The West ought not to permit this. The
privilege of direct importation to Western
cities, has brought mourning to the extor-
tioners in and about the Custom House. and
has seriously injured the importing busi-
ness here, butit has saved the West hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars. There is no
reason why the cities of the West should
not have all the facilities for importing that
the Atlantic cities possess, nor can there be
any good reason given for giving three or
four citicsa monopoly. Look out, gentle-
men of the West, for the New York import-
ers in Congress this winter.
_ POLITICS
In the city is mixed. The Democracy are
fighting over the spoils; and the Repub-
licans are laying back waiting for events.
The Democracy have never yet profited by
a victory, for the fact is their political ven-
tures are all for spoils. They win a. victory
and immediately spoil the effect of it, by
not knowing how to improve it, or rather
not caring. They will plunder the city and
State right and left for a year, and then the
people will rise and oust them. The Re-
publicans have a sure thing on the State, in
the long run, so long as the Democracy are
controlled by the men who now hold the
power in that organization. To succeed
they have to promise plunder, and those to
whom they promise are very sure that the
premises are fulfilled. Then the people
when they get tired of being plundered
dethrone the thieves, who stay out till the
people get careless again.
You may look for a reaction next fall. I
prophesy it.
now run THING rs DONE. '
I attended a funeral yesterday. It was
the last Office I could perform for a young
man who was, in his life, a. friend of mine,
and as a friend I followed him to his grave
in Greenwood. He had Only reached twen-
ty-cight years when he died, but such years
as he had lived ! Pardon me ifI give some
space to the history Of one who is a repre-
sentative of a class that is unfortunately too
numerous now, and is daily getting more so.
My friend was born rich. His father was
originally a tanner, and by a long course of
honorable industry and good management
accumulated wealth—great wealth. He
died a dozen years ago worth a million or
more, leaving one son, my friend, and three
daughters. The young man received a col-
legiate education, and, graduating, cante
back to New York to live. Life was to him
as rose-tinted as possible. Oceans of
money, excellent society, a splendid home,
everything in short that a man could have
to enjoy life and be happy. He joined
clubs, of course, be instituted a stable, of
course. He proposed to live, and he did
live. He made the acquaintance Of all the
men who live, and he found plenty of them
willing to help him. He had no business to
’do. for why should a young man with a
million do business or bother about it? His
father had made the money for him to en-
jay, and he intended to enjoy it. His life
was a routine very easy. to describe. The
morning at h's clubs—drink. The after-
noon in all sorts of places—drink. The
early evenings in the theatres—drink. The
latter part of the night in gambling bells
and places of just as bad a nature—drink.
Drink in the morning to tone him up for
dissipation later in the day. Drink to
drown remorse—drink, drink, drink. And
at twenty-eight the poor fellow, born with
splendid posstbiiities and with capacities
for all sorts of good, sank into a drunkard’s
grave, with no good deed left behind him to
signalize his‘iife or to mark the fact that he
had lived. He‘tiied of being left a fortune,
instead of having been compelled to make
one.
This is'a briei‘history, but there are one
hundred thousand young men in this city
repeating it at this moment. Are there not;
similar cases in yourlocality?
THE SUNDAY QUESTION
assumes more importance every day. The
Germansand French back up the “sacred
concert" theatres, and the Americans gener-
ally support those cndeavoring to crush
them out. And the fight is waxing warm.
The Bowery Theatre was open last Sunday
night with their ghastly melo-dramas, as
usual, and the old place was jammed with
people, ofthe class who do not go to theatres
week-day nights—halfgrown boys and girls.
It was a wild night they made of it. It
secured as though the fact that their amuse-
ment was illegal and likely to be interrupt-
ed, gave an additional zest to it, for never
in the history of the place were peanuts so
liberally masticated or applause so freely
and boisterously given. It was a pande-
inonium from the rising of the curtain to
the going down of the same.
The beer-gardens and “Concert Saloons”
were in full blast, the police not having
been instructed to make raids upon them.
It: is singular that the work did not com~
mence with them, for if the theatres are, as
Taimadge styles them, “the vestibules of
hell," these places are in the exact centre.
They are the resort of the lowest, vilcsi men
and women that the Almighty for some, to
us unknown, purpose permits to exist, and
the orgies ni htly held.in them would put a
debased Fiji slander to blush. But some-
how the police pass them by without an
effort to break them up.
, , Busrunss
is improving steadily in many of its
branches. The strikes are all ovtr, and
though laborers are on short— time and re-
duced pay, they are squeezing through
better than was anticipated: The coming
of the holidays has put a great deal of
money in active circulation..and there is .9.
briskness, which, if it be spasmodic, is
pleasant. The weather is pleasant and
bracing, and the health of the city vastly
improved. May the good we have be in-
creased. PIETRO-
..._.___.._._._.
lcport ofthe Board of School Visitors
of the Town of Norwallr.
It is too late in the day to insist upon the
value or necessity~ oi‘t e universal educa-
tion of the children of: 0 State. The com-
mon school, founded by our fathers, Side by
side with the church and the town meeting,
is one of the lbundation stones on which
our Commonwealth is built.~ It has been one
Of the most important factors in making

brain of America,” the spring of ideas and
of inert of ideas. who have become at
home and throughout the country, the fore-
niost leaders in literature, in the professions,
in politics, iiiqnanuiitcturesjn'commerce,1n
every sphere of active life and enterprise.
The only practical question for us is, how
We shall show our appreciation of the hen-
tage of the common school, received from
our fathers. by improving and adapting it to
the peculiar wants of our times, and by he-
queathing it in its full developments for the.
blessings of the generations to come.
We live in an age entirely different from
the age of our fathers a generation ago...
Then society existed in its most simple
forms ; the wants ofthe people were few; the
spheres of industry narrow; and a thorough
knowledge of the branches of reading, writ-
ing and arithmetic were perhaps all that was
demanded or needed in the education of the
farmer and artisan. But it is far otherwise
now. Society has become complex; the
wants of men are multiplied; the forms and
spheres of industry have become infinitely
diversified and enlarged; the applications of
science and machinery to common uses have
become multifarious and endless. The
consequence is that a higher level of educa-
tion is demanded and needed, not merely
by special students, but by the great mass
of our children who are to fill the places and
carry forward the industries, the factories,
thcwork-shops of modern society. Indeed
we may say that it is an imperative necessi-
ty—because common muscular labor is more
and more at a discount, pushed to the wall
by the progress of machinery in all line of
work, and ‘scientific, intelligent, skilled a.
bor is more and more at a premium. If Otir
children are not tG‘all behind others in the
race of life and~the struggle for prosperity,
they must be sent forth into the arena with
well-trained, well-furnished minds, educated
not on the pattern of“ generation ago, but
on a pattern moulded by the exigencies Of
the present times. '
It is in accordance ' with this patent fact,
that the people of Norwalk, in line with the
other principal towns of the State, have for
several years past, been enlarging and devel-
oping their common schools by the introduc-
tion of the graded system. The essential fea-
ture of this system is the establishment of a
curriculum of studies in successive grades
or deparartments so arranged and adapted
that the primary scholar beginning at the
lowest grade at 4 or 6 years of age, and pass-
ing through the successive departments as
he increases in age and capacity, completes
at 16, a full course of discipline and instruc
tion, sufficient to qualify him for any ordi-
nary position or avocation of life or busi-
ness. Equal advantages for education to
those of the rich are thus brought within
the reach of the poorest and humbiest. And
I when fully developed these Graded Schools,
become so efiicient, that even the richest
families prefer to send their children to them
rather titan to private schools, mainly on ac
count of their superiority of discipline and
instruction. Acreditablc advance in this
direction has been made‘ in the Public
Schools of our town. five of the eleven dis-
tricts, now having Graded —Schools more or
less fully developed. The influence of these
schools is also sensibly felt in the other six
ungraded schools of the town in stimulating
the districts to raise their standards of study
and employ more capable teachers.
Of necessity this improved system in-
volves some increase of expenditure.- The
best articles always cost more money than
the poorest; and yet in education it is cer-
tainly true that the best is the cheapest. But
it must not be concluded that our own ex-
penditure is extravagant. The average per
scholar, of money paid out of our town
treasury for the support of our schools, one
quarter of which comes from the State, is
$8.78. There are 89 towns in the state that
last year paida larger average than Nor-
walk, from $8.61 up to $15.65 per scholar,
and 76 towns that paid a less average. There
are 11 towns in this county that paid a larger
average;- including Bridgeport. Danbui‘y
Fairfield, from $8.71 up to $10.16 per schol-
ar, and the average of all the towns in the
state for last year is $11.60pcr scholar,near—
ly tiircc dollars more than our own average.
The number of children enumerated in this
town last January was 3,145, and 87 per
cent. of these have been in attendance at
the public schools, showing that seven-
eights of our children are enjoying the ad-
vantages of this expenditure. The average
wages paid to male teachers in this t n is
$95 per mowed of female teachers $40-
48 per mont , ot much different from-the
general average in most of the larger towns
of the State. It must be remembered that
the extent of this town, and the scattering
of its population around many centers, cre-
ating a large number of populous Districts
somewhat increases our necessary expenses.
The actual expenses of the town for
schools thepast year was $27,616.99. Of
this was pai for wages of teachers, 45 in
number, $23,476.94; for fuel and incidentals
$2,803.38, the balance for other expenses in
the running of the schools. The gross
amount raised and expended for all school
purposes in the town, (including district
440.56. Your Board have procured from all
the districts of the town itemized estimates of
the current expenses of the schools for the
present year, and after carefully revising
and cutting down these estimates to the low-
est point consistent with the cfiiciency of
the schools. have made apportionment to the
several districts, to the total aggregate of
$28,690.25, about a thousand dollars more
than last year. The increase is mostly cans»
ed by the development Of the school at 50.
Norwalk, providing accommodations for
scholars, before inadequate, though even
this increase makestlie average of expense
per scholar in- that district more than 0. doi-
lar less than the average in other large dis-
tricts. '
Your Board would report to the town
that they have ascertained that about twen-
ty children in the Alins House are receiving
no education. They recommend to the
town' that a special appropriation of not
more than $200 a year be in ade lobe expend-
ed under the direction of the Selectmen in
providing them a teacher.
Your Board would reiterate the statement
of former years that the magnitude of our
school interests and expenditures requires,
either by the consolidation of the districts
or sortie other method, greater authority in
the Board of Education for the regulation
ofexpenses. the hiri nd fixing of the sai-
aries of teachers an‘ discipline and gov-
ernment of the schoo s. They would es-
pecially recommend that the Board be in-
structed by a vote of the town to authorize
the schools of the Center, South Nor-walk
and Over River Districts, to receive advanc-
ed scholars from other districts on applica-
tion of the scholars or of the District Com-
mittees to the Acting Visitors.
In conclusion the Board would congratu-
late the town upon the vast improvement of
our schools within the last few years, and
their present advancing condition, keeping
pace with the progress of education .in gear
State and country. They are now a matter.
of pride to the town, and their fruits in
years to come will add to our wealth, intel-
ligence and prosperity.

REMEDY FOR DIPHTHERIA—The ravages
of diphtheria in Australia have been so ex-
tensive within the last few years that the
Government offered a large reward for 'any
certain method of cure ;_ and among other
responses to this was one by Mr. Great-
head, who at first kept his method a secret.
but afterwards communicated it freely to
the public.‘ It is simply the use of sulphur-
ic acid, of which four drops are diluted in
three-fourths ofa tumbler of water to be ad-
ministered to a grown person and a smaller-
dose to children, at intervals not specified.
The result is said to be a coagulation of the
diphtheritic membrane and its ready re-
moval ,by coughing. It is asserted that
where the case thus treated has not ad-.
vanccd to a nearly fatal termination, the
patient recovered in almost every instance.

hearingofa noted physician in Germany
who invariably cured the disease, crossed
the ocean and, visited Germany for treat-
ment. He was permanently cured alter a
short sojourn, and the doctor freely gave
him the simple remedy used, which was
nothing but a poultice and tea. made from
our common field thistle. The leaves are
macerated and used on the part afflicted as
a poultice, while a small quantity of the
leaves are boiled down to the proportion of
a quart to a pint, and a. small wineglass of
the dccoction drank before each meal. Our
friend says he has never known it to fail of
giving relief, while in almost every case it
has effected a care.
