facts relative to the finding of

up by one of his workmen and
being examined by those present

now in existence with a tooth of

I several other gentlemen hut
none of them can arrive tit any
accurate conclusion as to the
kind of skeleton from which they
have been detached. Judge
Van Wyck says they are. in his
opinion, the teeth of the Masto

not near so large and no other
! animal living approaches that in

inches in length and about It in

sent them to Prof. Little in At

Ol’B NEW YORK I.IOTTKIC
New Vork.Jttly ISt It. 1870.
It is a fact, and it most, credit
able fact, too, that among the
many charities to which New
York gives princely donations
year by year, none appeal so ir
resistibly to the hearts of the lib
era] as those for the benefit of the
children. .Summer after Summer
excursions are given which give
fre-h air to the little one- who
live and dit* in the tenement
houses, ignorant of what green
gra--i- and of what the country
is like. Every human being has
a warm corner in tin* heart for
the little ones, and the inforina
lion which has ot late veal- been
published ol the terrible mortal
ify among infants has impressed
upon the patrons the fact 'that
the children need care more than
the grown poor. Especially in
hot weather, when the well to do
citizen sends his little ones out
into the green fields or down to
the seaside, the children of the
poor sicken day by. day of the
'summer complaints of children,
and in the close, hot rooms of the
tenement houses they have little
chance of recovery. Stone pave
ments and brick Walls throw
back the glaring heat of ihe -un
by day, and are scarcely cool at
midnight. It is then that a few
days, or even sometimes a few
hours, of fresh air and of plain
country living make, for thous
amis of babies, alt the difTerenee
between life and death.
In years past there was no
chance for the children ot the
poor to get away from the city.
Thousands of them died literally
for lack of the commonest gift of
nature—fresh air. Bn! alter a
time it came to he realized that
nearly one half the deaths in the
city were of children under live
years old. It was known that
the majority of fatal eases among
the children in the Summer time
were of cholera infantum and
tin* intestinal diseases and the
doctors declared that in very,
many of these cases fresh air. os
pecially at the seaside' was a!
most a sovereign prescription.
A week would save a life, and
often, it taken in time, a single
day on Ihe water would cheek a
dangerous disease. When, know
ingall this, the public realized
how slight the cost was of send
ing the children out for a day,
Sitmliter excursions for poor chi 1
dren were quickly organized,
They were successful, and the
good they did was so immense,
compared to the cost, that they
multiplied rapidly. Then seaside
homes began to be the fashion,
and til the present time there are
several such.
The Children s Aid Society is
the most active and effective in
stitution engaged in thishumane
work. Its officers are indefatiga
ble, and tiie amount of good it
does in the prevention as well as
in the relief of sickness and suf
feting is very great. During the
Summer of 1878, for example, t he
Society employed fifteen physi
cians and thirty-eight ‘‘visitors”
as they term the persons whose
business it is to search out and
report cases of sickness and des
titution. During that time the
institution provided treatment
for 2,27 b sick children and pa
rents, 0,248 visits were made by
the physicians, 8,700 by the vis
itors, 5,800 prescriptions were
furnished, 2,00!) sick were restor
ed to health. 5,270 physician's
orders for food were filled and
73,000 boquets of (lowers were
given to tin* sick children.
l itis distribution of flowers is a
peculiarly graceful and grateful
charity. The Society has a hot
house ol its own and many dona
tions art* made from outside.
Said the Superintendent in a re
cent interview, *‘We give out to
our children about one thousand
plants in the early Summer,
which we let them keep and care
for. We tell them what to do, of
course, when we give them out,
and then in the Fall we have a
floral festival. The children
have to bring the plants back,
and prizes are given to those
that have done the best. From
this hothouse, where we keep
these plants in the Winter, we
get some of our boquets. Others
come from some of the florist- of
the city, and some from Sunday
-chord- and from kindly people
in ;dl directions. From Jersey,
(.'oiineetioutt and Long Island
they -end them by mail and by
express. Only yesterday 1 re
ceived a great box full of wood
violets, in perfect preservation,
by mail, from -ome unknown per
son. And no one who has not
seen the poor, -ick children
brighten up when boquets arc
given them can realize how much
good a cluster of simple flowers
will do."
Ihere are other branches of tlie
work, the barge excursions, the
.Sanitariums and Seaside homes,
of which I have not space to
speak, but which may form the
subject of a future letter.

Speaking of the judges, law.'
courts, ect., reminds me that a
number of out judges art* doing ,
very little work, although they ,
are drawing their pay' with a
regularity that would be com
mendable, if services were ren
tiered for it.
Not long ago an at tempt was
made bv :t port ion-of the Grand
Jury to have Recorder Hacked
removed from office as he had sat
in court only thirty out of three
hundred and sixty five days, be
ing, it is said, both mentally and
physically incapacitated from at
tending to his official duties. A
presentment in aecordanre with
these facts was made bv a por
tion of the Grand Jury . but it Wits
lost. Notwithstanding this nom
inai amount of work done Ihe
•Fudge Inis regularly drawn It is
salary of SI,OOO per month, coil
siderably more than is received
by the Chief.) ustiee of the United
•States Supreme Court.
Ihe presentment, however, had
the effect of calling attention to
the condition of some of our Stale
and City Courts. Much <li ssalis
faction has been expressed at the
extent, to which business lots
accumulated in certain Courts,
though as this has often been due
to the severe illness of the judges
no one has cared to undertake
the ungracious task of attempt
ing their removal.
There are grave reports com
ing to us concerning the proba
bilities of a yellow fever opulent
ic along the Mississipi Valley
this Summer. The outlook is
bad in Memphis, and though it is
claimed that the cases so far re
ported are sporadic, there is fear
that the disease may become
epidemic. Our quarantine regtt
lations will be very strictly on
forced.
There has been considerable
excitement over a peculiar af
fection which has assumed an
epidemic form among the girl
employed in Lorillard’s tobacco
factory in Jersey City. There
was ti rumor that the sickness
originated from the germs of yel
low fever with which tobacco
from New Orleans was impreg
mated. Jersey City doctors, how
ever, throw discredit upon the
rumor, and say that the sickness
may have been produced by ice
water, or by simply working in
the tobacco, the poisonous fumes
of which might produce the liy
terical symptoms to which female
humanity is prone. R.tniv

V TA EG or TWO CITIIM
Sixteen persons killed bv heat
in one day in a city of but little
! more than fifty thousand inliabi
taut- implies a terribly oppres
sive temperature ; and this ox
pcrienci* of Charleston recalls
the much severer visitation that
afflicted St. Louis last year a
short tinit* before the yellow li
ver epidemic declared itself. In
St. Louis on that occasion tin*
largest number of deaths was, we
believe, forty* in one day ; and as
the population of that city is at
lea- six limes larger than the
population of Charleston, the
mortality reported from the lat
ter place is twice as great, pro
portionally, as that for the worst
'of St. Louis’ had days last year.
In Charleston, on Saturday, the
tempertiiture at 2p in. was 111
degrees, and in St. Louis, last
July, the highest point attained
was 1025 degrees. From the coni
parison of the degree of heat, as
well as the extent of mortality,it
appears, I hero fore, t hat the vi si
tat ion this year on our South At
lunlie, coast is severer than that
of last year in the Mississippi val
ley. In view of wind followed
lower down tin* river, that great
fatality ol the heal at St. Louis
might fairly be regarded as a
premonition of a bad year tor Ihe
people; and it is to be hoped
that the present ease, may
not, imply I hat the fever which
ravaged the Mississippi cities
will .-.pare il- tins year. by
changing its seat to Ihe region
where Ihe mortality* elreadv in
dicates unusually oppressive at
