A GREAT SOCIAL EVIL. Ib'STird'a View of the Vicious Life of NaT York and Other Ciüas.

Xhe "Pall Mall Caictte'a" Kpour and How Far They Apply to th Life ot Every T. resit City What Legislation Can Do. Howard's New York Letter. 1 As human nature is pretty much the same in Philadelphia a in New York, ia Londoa a.-t in Boston, I imagine you will not be particularly amazed to know that one leading periodical dealer in this city has received orer a thousand orders for the four issues of the Tall Mall Gazette containing the infamous disclosures of infamy in English society, with which the civilized world has runs during the past week. This publication will bring England face to face with a question that is as old as mankind, with which philosopher hare struggled and over which publicists have quarrelled for hundreds of years, and that is the question of the best mode of legally controlling a great and common evil and confining its bad physical effects. This, in a country as free a.s ours, where there are in a city the size of New York not less than 70.000 vagrant children, of whom three-fifths are little girls between the ajres of live and fifteen years, subject to no discipline, under the most baleful influences, on to every temptation, knowing nothing of a future, sick of the present and disgusted by the past, means much. You who are happy, whose lives have been under sunshine, over whom the gentle influences of aftection and love hava watched, ought to think a while of these bitter and fricndles? children of the joor. There are sad mysteries under the surface of this gay world, lives over which the very shadow of death continually throws it-self. The day is short for us all, Wt for some it will be a pleasant thought when we turn our last look upon our own that we haveea.-el a few aching hearts and brought peace and new hope to the dark lives of some whom men had forgotten to cast out. CRIME A5D VAGKAXCY. Experience shows that often numbers of these poor children are ill clothed, so destitute tfiat they are ashamed to peep in the door of a church even, still more to attend a school. Those who recognize the authority of a mother are either compelled to beg or Jive'on the street. From the ranks of these children our low dancc-housesarc recruited. The more attractive of them are led without much temptation to the higher plains of degrading existence. The life of a rag-picker, a garbage seeker in the street soon wears olF a girl s modesty and prepares her for worse occupation. Men who go from cabin to cabin, who seek ut even cellar and take in tenement houses, who stand at sickbeds and deathbeds administering consolation and advice, are discouraged by features they encounter on every turn, and they know not what to do. They become accustomed to scenes of misery and houses of mourning are more natural to them than houses of fea-sting. What are we to expect of children born in paternal piggeries, who live in damp dark basements, half j-tarved, wretchedly or? Our authorities have done something, our industrial schools have done much, but the rock against which they all run, around which they can find no path over which they can't climb, is the solid, unquestioned fact that of these vagrant girls, a large majority, sooner or later, rind themselves in the sink of physical disaster "and moral death. WHAT THE.LWV CA3f DO The merely philosophical inquires or even the physician regarding humanity in a worldly way, comes naturally to the conclusion that this offense is one of the inevitable evils winch always have followed, and always will follow the track of civilization; that it is to be looked upon, like small-pox or scarlet fever, as a disease of civilized man, and is to be treated accordingly, by a physical and scientific means, and must be controlled, as it can not be uprooted by legislation. Or they regard it as they do intoxication, as t lie effect of a misdirected natural desire, whieh is everywhere thought to be a legitimate object both of jennision or recognition by government, as well as of check by rigid laws. If medical men, their minds are almost exclusively directed toward the frightful effect on society and ujxn the innocent of disease. They see that legislation would at once check the ravages from these terrible maladies, and that a system of licenses such as is practiced in continental cities would prevent them from spreading through society and punishing those who had never sini'ed. As scientific healers of human maladies, they feel that anything is a gain which lessens human suffering, controls disease and keeps up the general health of the community. Their position, too. has leen strengthened by the foolish and superstitious arguments of their opjonertJ. It lias been claimed that some disorders are a peculiar and "supernatural punishment for sin and wrong doing; that by interfering with their legitimate action on the guilty we presume to diminih the punishments inflicted by the Almighty; and, in so far as we can cure or restrain these diseases, we lessen one great law which nature and Providence have placed before the infraction of the law of virtue. The medical man, however, replies very pertinently that he has nothing to do Krtta the livine laws; that his business is to cure human diseases and lessen human suffering wherever he finds them; and that gout, or rheumatism, or diptherla. or scarlet fever are as much "punishments'' as the diseases of vice. THE M EPICAL MAN'S VIEWS. If he refused to visit the patient whenever he thought that his sins had brought upon him bis disease he would have very little occupation, ami mankind would receive very little alleviation from t he medical art. Nor is he even called ujon to refuse to cure a patient who he knows will immediately begin aain his evil courses.. The physician i not a judge or an executioner, lie has nothing to do but cure and alleviate.' Influenced bv this aspect of bis duty, the medical man almost universally advocates licenses to evil docr, based on medical examination, and a strict leal control ot the participants in this ffen-se. On the other hand, those who deal with the moral asjects of the case, and who know the class that are ruined, Innly anil soul, by this criminal business, have a profound dread of anything which the young should appear to legalize, or approve, ör even recognize it. The worst evil is to the woman, and the worst element in that Is moral ratter than physical. The man has the tremendous responsibility on his soul of doing his part in helping to plunge a human bein into the lowest depths of misery and moral degradation. He has also the moral responsibility which the Divine law of purity places on each individual, and the further hurden of posibly causing disease hereafter to the innocent and virtuous. But the woman who pursues this as a business ha seldom any hojxs in this world cither of mental or moral health. , The class, as a class, are the most desperate Und unfortunate which reformatory agencies ever touch. Now, any friend of the well being of focietv. knowing the strength of men's f -assions and utter misery and degradation of these victims of them, will dread any public measure or legislation which will . tend to weaken the respect of younj men for virtue, r to make this offense looked upon as permeable, or which will add to the number of Ihese wretched women ly diminishing the I ubuc and legal condemnation of their de LM'ing lives. . THE EFFECT OF LICENCES. Anjf.n the large das ol joor and ignorant girU in a large city who are always just

nn the line between virtue and vice, who can say how many more would be plungsd into this abyss of misery by an apparent legal approval or recognition of the offense through a system of license? Among tho thousand voiing men who are under incessant temptation in a city like this, who can say howmany are saved by the consciousness that this offense is looked upon both by morality and law as an offense, and is not even recognized as iormissible and legal? A city license constitutes a profession. The law and opinion recognize the holders. The evil lecomes more fixed by its public recognition. Thejpresent condition of the whole matter in New York is terrible. The humanity and science which ought to minister to the fallen woman as freely as to any other class, are refused to her by the public, unless she apply as a pauper. "The consequence isthat the fearful diseases which follow her, like avenging furies, have spread through not only this tlas of women, but have been communicated to the virtuous and innocent, aud are undermining the health of society. This fact is notorious to physicians. Now we think a reasonable "middle course" might be pursued in this matter: that, for instance, greater conveniences for medical attendance and advice in the city (and not on Blackwell's Island) might be afforded by our authorities of this class, both as a matter of humanity and as a safeguard to the public health. If there was a hospital or a dispensary for such cases within the city, it would avoid the disgrace and publicity of each patient reporting herself to the court as a pauper and then being sent to the I.-land Hospital. Hundreds more would present themselves for attendance and treatment than do now and the public health be proportionately improved. No moral sanction would thus be given to this demoralizing and degrading business. The simple duties of humanity would be performed. FOREIGN LAWS. The advocates ot the license system would still reply, however, that such a hospital would not meet the evil; that law only can separate the sickly from the healthy, and thus guard society from the pestilence; and the only law which could accomplish this would be a strict system of license. The friend of public order, however, would urge that a wise legislator can not consider physical well-Wing alone; he must regard also the moral tendencies of laws; and the influence of a license system is plainly toward recognizing this offense as legal or

permissible. It removes indirectly one of the safeguards of virtue. Perhaps the reduetio ad absurdum in the relation of the Mate with a criminal elas. and of the Church with the State, was never so absurdly shown as in the Berlin license laws twenty years since. According to these, in their final result, a license was never given to this business any more than to ony other, except on the evidence of the iK?rson's having been "confirmed," or being a memler ot the state Church, that is a citizen! This classing, however, the trade with peddling, or any other business needing a license, did not in the least tend, so far as we have ever heard.to elevate the woman, or save them from moral or mental degradation. On the contrary, the universal law of Providence that man or woman must live bv labor, and that any unnatural substitute for it saps and weakens all power and vigor, applies to this class in continental cities as much as here. Without doubt, too, wherever the Germanic races are no degree of leagalizing this traffic can utterly do away with the public sentence of scorn against the female participants in it; and the contempt of the virtuous naturally depresses the vicious. The "public woman' has a far greater chance of recovery in France or Italy, than in Germany, England or America. Still, the wise legislator, though regretting the depression which this public sentiment causes to the vicious classes, cannot but value it as a safeguard of virtue, and will be very cautious how he weakens it by legislation. There is, no doubt, force in the osition that the non-license ot these houses is in some degree a terror to the community, and the cautious and prudent are kept from the offense tlirough fear of txjSMble consequences. IOMKr "and beri.ix. Bad as London Is In tins matter not. however, so much through the effect of licensing as through want of proper street police we do not believe there is so wide-spread a degradation among poor women in Berlin. New York is" superior to any other great city in the Old "World in the virtue of its laboring loor. Something of this, of course, is due to our sucrior economical conditions; something to the- immense energy and large means thrown into our preventative agencies, but much also to the public opinion prevaling in all classes in regard to this vice. Our wealthy classes, we believe, and certainly cur middle classes, have a high sentiment in regard to the purity both of man and woman than any similar classes in the civilized world. More persons relatively fnarry, and marriages are happier. This is equally true of the up-i-r laboring r-larscs. If it is not true of the lowest poor this results from too preat local evils over-crowding and bad influences of emigration. Still, even with these, the poor of New York rn injure favorably in virtue with those of Paris. Berlin or Vienna. Now, how large a part ot the public opinion which thus praservts both ends of society from vice may be due to the fact that we have not recognized the greatest oflciise against purity by any ermisMve legislation? The business is still regarded, in law. as outride of good morals, and not even to be tacitly allowed by license. Meantime here it is. The olice spasmodically attack it. The street children continually recruit it. Shall it be treated as our pavements are cleaned by the city? Or shall it be managed as the heat is every man for himself? I low aud.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Our Illustrated Wwkly Letter .From tue National Capital ProfeAftor Frederick Tiddosv, the HellHLuger of the Metropolitan Methodist Church An Interesting In tert lew on Hell A Chime Keyboard, Etc. Washington, July 17. Professor Frederick "Widdows, the carollinneur of the New Orleans Exposition, and thej finest chime ringer in the United States, has returned from the Cresent City to his home in this city, where he has been located for a decade or more. He ha3 been in charge of the Metropolitan Methodist Church, over which Parson Newman used to preside during the term of President Grant. During the Professor's absence at New Orleans the Metropolitan chime, the only one in the city, has been silent. Trefessor Widdows has been ia charge of this chime ever since it was erected through the efforts of Mrs. Newman, who, by her own exertions, raised the $7,500 necessary to purchase this chime and have it placed in the tower of the Metropolitan Church, a very large and costly structure erected by the "Methodists of the country for the benefit of the Capital City. "Yes." said the Professor to your correspondent as he sat in the parlor of his cozy home, "1 am glad t get back to Washington, though I was sorry to leave my bells behind me. They are the finest chime of bells I have ever 'seen, without exception.'' r-ROFF.sSOn FREDERICK WIDDOWS. "That is saying a good deal, too, is it not. Professor, for you have seen a good many chimes?'' ''Well," he smiled. ,lI have seen a good many; that is so. I have been at it a long time ringing the bells not only in this country, but before I ever saw America.' "How long, Professor?' ''to long 1 scarcely dare to count it up," he smiled. "But I began when a loy, and you see by my hair and beard now that that was some time ago." And so it must have been, for tin1 Professor's hair is strongly marked with gray and his beard as white as the driven snow. He is a veteran, even in his experiences in this country, for he traveled as manager for Adelina Patti, Parepa Posa and Ule Bull when some of the large cities of this country were mere villages. "Why, I remember visiting St. Taul and Minneaiolis," he said, digressing for a moment, "when St. Paul had but 5.000 or G.OUO and Minneapolis but H0O people, and we gave concerts there, too." "You left your bells in New Orleans, did you not, Professor Widdows?" "Yes, they were cast, you know, in Baltimore, for use at the exposition, and are like most of the articles shown there for sale. The people of New Orleans who became attached to them are anxious to retain them there.andare trying'to arrange to place them in the tower of one of the churches there." "What is the cost of a good chime of bells?" "That ii pretty hard to say. The cost depends largely uion the current price of the material from which they are made. Sometimes it is higher than at others. A good chime, such as 1 had at New Orleans, costs something like $o,000 now. Of course it costs something to put them in place after this." "How many bells are there in a chime?" "The number varies. Of course you can not play ruany pieces with a chime that has less than seven or eight bells. The chime I had at New Orleans, which is, by the way, the finest this country has ever seen, consisted of fifteen bells, having a register of one and one-fifth octaves, with flat seventh, sharp fourth, and sharp eleventh." "Where did they come from?" "From Baltimore, where they were cast under my social direction. They arc jeculiar in the fact that they have not been 'doctored' to make them have the right tone. In most chimes it is found necessary to cut away iortions of some of the bells to get them in tone. These were cast with the special desire to have them perfect, and when in testing them we found that this or that one was imperfect in sound we laid it aside and cast another with some slight changes, until our fifteen bells were in perfect tune without being injured at all by any turning or chipping as is the case ill most chimes.'' "Are there many chimes and chime-players inthis country?" "A ell," he said with a smile, "as to the number of player, I couldn't saj. There are a good many who profess some knowledge of chime p"la)'ing. As to the number of chimes I think there may be something over a dozen in the United States, such as they are. Many of them, however, are very small. Take the one at Cincinnatij for in-r stance; I am told that it has but six bells,' which of course makes it iossible to play but very few tunes upon it. There arc three chimes "in New York, one rather poor one in Brooklyn, three in Philadelphia and so on around." "They are much more- common in Europe, are they not?" "Pcalsof bells are, 3-es, but the playing of music upon them is not near so common there as it is here. That is to say, they ring them with one man to each bell, ringingwhat are termed 'changes' ujon them, hut they tlo not play tunes or regular musical productions uion them as much as we do here." ' "Is it possible to play many tune? or pieces of music on a chiiue?'f "Oh yes," he answered wiih a smile. "With a Rood chinie. pitch ns that I had at New Orleans, I can ploy a very large number of airs.

My repertoire consists of aa almost unlimited number of English. Irish, Scotch a id American ballads, waltzes ami, other dance music, and selections from all the operas. So you we my repertoire is as large as that of the skillful pianist or-organist, and embraces pretty nearly everything written." "l)o you use large bells or small ones?" "Both. The largest are in the New Orleans Exposition chime for you see I look upon this as the standard in this country or in others the largest one there weighed some 4.'J00 pounds, the smallest about 200. The weight of the whole chime was about LO IKHinds. It is the largest chime in the world."

"You have been studying this chime business a lonc time?' "Yes; I 'began playing bells when I was a child in England, aiid nave been at it more or less ever since. I played a chime at the Centennial, as well as at New Orleans. I was visited at both places by a good many people of great musical reputation, some of whom are known the world over for their ability in the musical line, and received a good many handsome compliments, the most noted of my visitors saying frankly that they never liefore knew that there was so mucu music in bells." "Is it difficult to learn to plav them?" "Alout as much so as to learn a piano or any instrument of this sort. You see the tongue or clapper of each bell is connected by a wire with a lever. These levers, as many as there are bells, are set in a frame or form, thus, a sort of key-board, the handle of each lever being a key. Bythe use of them I was able to produce a 'piano' effect or its reverse, when desired. There is a music rack above the levers, on which tke player places his written music, and, standing before these levers, he plays upon them much as-he would upon a piano, except that it is much harder work, for each lever must be seized with the hand and given a vigorous jerk, instead of a simple touch with the tip of the finger, as on a piano. It is no child's play, I can tell you. even for an exjerienced manipulator of "the levers. To do it successfully one must pull off his coat and put in plenty of physical exertion. Itwasfio uncommon thing after a long and difhciilt programme at New Orleans, to find myself utterly exhausted, my clothing saturated with prespiration. and the floor in front of the levers plentifully besprinkled with the drops which had fallen from my face and hands. The player's room is usually a close little box away up in the tower, hot and little ventilated, and the ieople who listen and admire the music of the bells have little idea how the player ia working and sweating for their amusement. - RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE AND INCIDENT.

A'-rY-A'ir? AMISS ROSE E. CLEVELAND. THE r-BESIPENT'S SISTER IK THE KOI.E OF AX ACTI10RESS HER HOOK, "OEOEGE ELLIOTT 8 ESSAY AND OTHER ST CT! ES." The most prominent figure to-day in the field of literature is Miss Rose E. Cleveland, the mistress of the White House. No book of recent times has created such widespread interest and comment as her maiden effort as an authoress. While this is true partly because of her position as the "first lady of the land," there is, nevertheless, due to her the credit of being a remarkably bright woman, gifted with a lively imagination and originality of thought and expression rarely encountered in the productions of female authors. Miss Cleveland, of the long line of ladies who have presided over the President's mansion, is the first one to enjoy the. additional distinction of becoming a lady of letters. Although the inference ma.v be drawn that Miss Cleveland stands alone among her twenty predecessors as possessing sufficient ability to write a creditable work, the correct conclusion is Probably the fact that her past life has been devoted to teaching and lecturing ujon educational subjects. In fact, the work she has now given to the public is really the product of several years labor in her professional sphere, revised and enlarged for publication. The ablest critics of the tlay pronounce it an extraordinary volume, and reasonably hope that it is only a precursor of other equally brilliant productions from her pen. Rose Elizabeth Cleveland was the youngest of nine children born to Richard and Anna Cleveland. Her native home was Fayetteville, N. Y., from whence her parents removed to Clinton when she was a little girl, and later to Holland Patent, a little hamlet near Utica. where her father took charge of the Presbyterian Church in 13-3. Her father died in that year leaving little Rose an or1han at the age of seven. The parsonage iad to be given up and the education of Rose became the mother's life thought and la!or. In later years she was sent to Houghton Seminary where she proved a brilliant pupil, graduating with the highest honors. "Original People"' was the theme of her graduating essay, her audience pronouncing it a most happy effort. Miss Rose then became a teacher in the Houghton Seminary, when, after remaining in that position two j'ears, she went to Lafayette, Ind., as principal of the Collegiate Institute in that town. She afterward taught in Pennsylvania at a private school for a short time, and then conceived the idea of lecturing before classes, and proioscd to the Principal of Houghton Seminary to make the beginning at her Alma jiater. The latter entering heartily into the arrangement. Miss Cleveland wrote a course of historical lectures which she delivered that season. As she devoted herself to her aged mother, she was unable to leave Holland Patent to. pursue her work continuously until after'her mother's death in the summer of lSS2. After this sad event her'brothers and sisters naturally expected that she would make her home with one of them, but being of an iiidcendciit nature and self-reliant, she preferred to remain in the old home, where she continued to live when not awav lecturng until she assumed the exalted osition as mistress of the White House. Miss Cleveland will remain in the White House as long as her brother -remains a bachelor, but " by her own efforts she has created for herself a position among celebrities in literature that will be more enduring than the honor and fame dependent upon the Klitical fortunes of her distinguished brother. If a Mrs. Grover Cleveland should appear at the threshold of the President's Mansion, Miss Rose will quietly reopen the door of the homestead at Holland Patent (which she has purchased out of the earnings of her own labor) and resume the work which she reluctantly abandoned for her brother's sake. Miss Cleveland is an earnest and industrious woman, and never contemplated a life of luxury, much less one of conspicuous position ln-fore the country. She is as unique in her way as her brother is in hL", though they are apparently not at all alike in general character. Nor does she physically resemble him. The ortrait at the head of this article presents the reader with the features of Miss Cleveland, and, though a wood enpraving for a newspajier precludes the possibility of doing the fair subject accurate justice, our jortrial, nevertheless reveals the conspicuous traits of a lady endowed with superior talents, cultivated and refined, and withal a most pleasing countenance.

If the one is gift the other is grace. One who has faith in the concrete is sure to have it in the abstract; and the effect is that of optimism in the world.

The mother makes the man. pcrhajw; but the wife manufactures him. Sometimes the wife in her manufacture confirms the making of the mother, sometimes counteracts" it. The born poet has no agony in the deliverance of his song. The uttering is to him that soothing baim which the utterance is to the reader. It is weeping, not the tear wept, that gives rcliet. The humility of each of us is like some a olian harp constructed by the Master Musician, ami laid down tenderly by Him upon the ea shore, where winds from every quarter play continually. Each of us can so believe in humanity in general as to contribute to that ressure which constantly levers up the race; can surround ourselves with an atmosphere optimistic rather than the contrary. Whether men admit it or not. faith in ourselves and faith in our brother and sister humanity follow from our faith in God. and if that faith be allowed its full growth will each win their rightful rank. Reciprocity, constant and equal, among all His creatures is the plan of the only maker of plans whose dans never fail in the least jot or tittle. He has reserved to Himself the power to give without receiving.

Human history is nothing but one ceaseless flow of cause into effect and of effect into cause. There is nothing but which is consequent. You and I are but the consequents of a vast tangle of antecedents iu all time before. You come from one of George Eliot's poems as from a Turkish bath of latest science and refinement, appreciative of benefit, but so battered, besten, and disjointed as to need repose before you can be conscious of refreshment. In these days of ebb and quicksand, when agnosticism rears its stone wall in front of faith, and writes ujton it in black letters the end-all and the be-all of all knowing, the unknowable, we have no need to know where God is to confirm our faith in Him. True self-knowledge is never to be come at by burrowing in the narrow limit of our own individual thoughts, feelings, and experience. We must, in order to truly see ourselves, stand before the great mirror, humanity, and, in its all-reflecting focus, behold our own proper individuality. What's in a name? A rose by any other name might smell as sweet; but a lily if rechrbtened rose, would never refuse the rose's odor, nor gain, in addition to its own spotless jterfections, the deej-hearted sorcery of that enchanting crumbled wonder, which we thrill in touching, as if it, too, had nerves, and blood, and a human heart a rose. In this scientific age the age of iconoclasm it is greatly good for us to confront things rich, rare, out-of-the-common things, above our power to comprehend, beyond our ower to destroy. It is well for us who are so blind to the rose-color in our daily lives to be forced to acknowledge its existence in the imperishable canvas of history; well for us so intensiv practical as we are, to be compelled there, at least, to confront the romautic and the heroic. (A picture of Joan of Arc). A little peasant maiden, doing lowly service in the cottage home at Homremy; a mail-clad maiden, leadrng forth her soldiers from the gates of Orleans: two faithful feet on fagots at Rouen; a radiant face uplifted to the beckoning skies; a crucifix upheld in shrivelling flame-kissed hands; a wreath of smoke for shroud, a wrack of smoke for all, a heap of ashes, and a franchised soul. Mr. Stevenson Promise to be a Hustler. Saginaw Courier.) Stevenson, the new First Assistant Postmaster General, gives promise of being a ''hustler." At the request of Congressman Matson, of Indiana, he recently disposed of twenty-one Indiana Postmasters in less than twenty-one minutes, appointing Democrats.
