8 MISERY! Bedford Street and Its Environs. A HOTBED OF POVERTY. CItUlE, AND DISEASE. jBto te., Ete., Btc, Etc. Within Five Sqaares of the State Home In this city, there Is a locality which, for the depth of Its degradation and depravity, will compare almost unfavorably with the Fire Points of New YorK and the Tiger Bay of Lon don. The (treat and common centre of the neighborhood Is known as Bodford street, but Baker, Spaflbrd, and Hurst streets, allies' alley , and numerous other lanes and byways con nected with them, are all on a par, as far as poverty, misery, and filth are concerned-all of them being In much the same condition, In a moral and sanitary way, as Bedford street itself. As the season is now well advanoed.and the cholera will soon appear In our midst If It la to come at all this year, we determined upon i8lo0urConer,"Peftotlon ofthls detestabjeloca.Hy. to ..certain what measures were being taken tor Staying the ravage, of the Ptllenoo. No one Who has been able to overcome bis Bfin'P'ea gainst uncleanness sufficiently to enable him to venture within these lthy precincts of late. Will imagine that we oould disoover aunht in the wav of sanitary precautlonsHgalnstdisease. R l7thU d" riot erf the city which furnishes tne most numerous and hardened cases for our Jails and Almshouse: and if every thing Is suf fered to proeress In the ood old wny, It will be this same district which will furnish 1 he most numerous and pitiable cases for our cholera noHnitals. Our first visit to Bodford street and Us en virons was by dayllizht, another being reserved for the night, in order that we might be able to wiiucbb vne contrast preseuieu. The Population Is about equally divided between the whites and blacks, and It Is the universal testimony of all Who know anything about the locality, that what little respectability It enjoys is mono polized by the colored portion oi Its Inhabitants. As a matter of course, they are all, black and white alike, addicted to the vices of drunken ness, idleness, profanity, thieving, quarrelling, and looseness of molality In general. But It is from the white element alone that tlio most desperate characters are. as a general rule, derived, the lawlessness of the blacks partaking of that petty character which distinguishes H all ever the country. Aside from this, they are all about on an equality, the mooted question which now convulses the country being settled In this one locality by the democrallo ten dencies of poverty and vice. It Is, indeed, very common to find a white family dwelling ou the first floor of a wreiched tenement, with a do mestic circle of blacks Just above thorn, and still another of the same sable hue in the collar below. It cannot be stated as a positive fact that intermarriages take place between the two races, but they have no undue prejudices on account of color when it comes to a drink lug or a fighting bout. Bedford Street at Mid-Day. It was 1 o'clock In the afternoon when we entered the purlieus ol Bedford street. At that particular hour of the day a sober and Indus trious housewife Is supposed to be occupied in the kitchen, getting the remnants of dinner and the dirty dishes out of sight. The dames of Bedford street, however, must be excepted from the general rule in this mutter; for the whole street was lined with women of every imagi nable hue, from the pale and sickly-looking white to the full-blooded and coal-black negro. All ages as well as all colors were represented, the children, indeed, outnumbering the adults, and making the daylight hideous with their bowls. In this they were fairly rivalled by a pack of hungry hounds, and between the crea tures of human nud canine breed the uproar wag almost head-spllttiug. The women were just as noisy us the ch'ildTeu, but In a more sys tematic way. Instead of inlninu In a united effort to drown euch;other's voices, they were all Srovea capatue oi lnieingiDie articulation, and irected their bluster aud hubbub at some special object or admiration or spite. it should not be imagined that the women and children were the only creatures visible, because we have not named the men in this connection. They were out in strong force, but meir nuruoers were iew wueu compared with the gentler sex. Every eroircrerv and Kronery. and every coal-bin and ash-cart bad Its quota of wul.i'i v wiuin, uuu iu Hiuges ox som nolence. Just ns our ears wore beoomlnz somewhat ac customed to the din, our attention was called jrom it to A Veritable Basket Feat, Which Was quite as diverting as any of those performed by Japanese Jugglers or French ma gicians. A young man of ubout twenty years, with an equal mixture of white and crimson in his complexion, and about as much of his na kedness visible as was invisible, was sauntering along St. Mary street, when be became excited by a corn basket which reposed upon the door step of a small shop. It took but a moment's time, and hut. . nil lit exertion of his lazy lens. to send the obnoxious article Into the middle of the street. Then he paused to await develop ments. They soon appeared, in the shape of a immm laiiv of color, who regarded the Menken style of dress with, about as much favor as her White antagonist. "What you do dat for, you good-for-nothln' - i" was her friendly salutation. ' To which the bummer youth replied, "I didn't Co it, you lying oia !" As the damsel was not over seventeen, In nointof vears. we suppose the bummer intended to insinuate that she was "old" In the habit of lying, which was probably the truth of the m tier. We had no time for philosophizing on this vioint. however, as the bummer's stout denial soon brought matters to a crisis of words and to the polat of blows, Each one measured the other, and appeared doubtful of the result of an anneal to fists: and so each vented his and her Indignation upon the other in a volley of threats, oaths, and obscenity which our copper- lacca types wouju uiusn to print, xue matter was still In dispute as we passed along, when the uproar was arowueu uy the exclama tions of A Group of Children Studying a Rat. Thfl rat. VAN H ftftd- eVfm tn l.hn nnlnt nfatanih and some unfastidlous and hungry cat bad already disposed of Its head and fore legs. The remnant of the beast lay just upon the curb stone, and around it were grou pud half a score hilnplmia hntra ranirinir trnirt IViii . ..I U . I years, and from jet black to dirty chip in color. Auey were burhbhu m uuutuiuuiaiing me linnlean carcase from all points of view. om of them throwing themselves list in the gutter. that they might enjoy the rare privilege or observing how mucii spaoe mere was between the ribs and the ground. The Investigation was Immensely satisfactory, as was manifest from tbe tremendous uproar whioh resulted from it. it la needless to sav that not one of these chil dren hud any coveriu npon bis head, and but few of them the appendage of a seal to their pantaloons. An Errand for a Child. Just then our attention was again diverted. A middle-aged man, of Hibernian ancestry, appeared upon the scene with a push-cart, limited down with tattered garments aud rags. He paused In front of a frame shop, in front of Whlon aangiea an outianaisu array ui soouuu hand dresses. In the doorway stood a bronzed and healthy-looking Irish woman, evidently the domestlo partner of the man with the push cart. The woman let fall a familiar salutation, and then, summoning a little girl of about six years of uge, commanded her, iu a rough, harsh voice, to "go and fetch pappy a pint of ale." This little incident disclosed tbe seoret spring ol all the misery and vloe of the wretched neighborhood. Two Specimen "Bummer" came under our observation in the course of our ramble. They were both white, but one was dressed with some approach to gentility, while the other was i a rugs. Our companion n. ;..,r.it,a whn watt nerfectlv familiar with the locality, and had had his attention called to both of these young men in times past, stopped tn uncoht them. Jle first addressed the indl- ,i,tnui tu tuLLers. remarking to us. as he did so. This Is a genuine Bedford street bummer. Last fall I succeeded, by hard work, in keeping this boy from drinking for four whole months, but dee what be has again come to j Mow such a reuiurk made In the very pre ..rnw tinman orealure who had a spark at manhood Mt In him, would assuredly have TOE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, aroused either Indlgnat- or hftm((. r thi case it did n.,,,,,., Tnft Rl)act bummer did Pt even so bnioh as turn bis face away, but gftxrd at us llHtlessly, rh though that slli;bt effort was almost too much for his exhausted syRtem. Our friend then addressed several questions to the bnrnnier, endeavoring, but in vain, to discover tbe nature of bis recent operations and present mode of life. The only answers vouchsafed were in monosyllables, and ex tremely onsnt lHfaotory and Indefinite at that. A abort distance from tbe door-step on which tbe ragged specimen was reposing, we overtook his genteel counterpart. Our friend remarked, as we came np, that b ere was another genuine specimen of the bumming tribe, but without any remonstrance from the subject of this un flattering observation at first. As ho pressed Ms questions to the youth, however, the wrath of the latter was aroused at last. He was some what tinctured with the element of pride, and tbe presence of a third person, and a stranger, called it forth. He made a few mild expostula tions to begin With, but when he found himself baid pressed with questions as to bis manner of life, he gave vent to a volley of oaths. W here upon our friend laid a hand gently upon his shoulder, and said: "Be careful, young man, how you nse such language to me. Before you kuow it, I will have you back In Moyamenslng, and will not be in a hurry to gel you out again, as I did the last time." We then passed along, our companion mak ing the following explanation: "It may sound strange to some ears to hear a minister of the Gospel using such words as I did to him. But a long experience with cases of that cbaracter has convinood me that it is the only kind of Gospel which will affect many of them. Home people speak very ill of me on this account, but I have the good of these wretched people at heart, and manage them in the best way 1 can." The assertion that our friend had, indeed, the good of these miserable creatures at heart, was amply verified during tne course of our jour ney; and there was abundant prof on all sides that hundreds of them appreciate it tho roughly. Having given some Idea of the aspect of the denizens of Bedford street by daylight, we will proceed to notice their abodes. "Dougherty's Court" Is the title of an alley running south from Bed ford street to Hhippen, midway between Seventh and Klghlh streets. The Bedford street enttauce isquiienarrow.butwhenwe had passed by the houses which bounded it on either side, we found ourselves in an open quadrangle, sur rounded bv huts and covered with drying gar ments. About a dozen young girls were loung ing around in all attitudes,. not one of them at work. The two colors were about equally re presented, as usual, and their ages ranged from etx to sixteen. Their garments were tattered aud slovenly, their hair unkempt, their whole deportment vagaoonaisn in tne extreme. Tbe buildings on the soutu side of the court nrre nariicularlv noticeable. There were Ave of them of brick, one story in helght.and covered with loose boards oy way oi a roor. .eacn or these rents for $50 per year, or $230 in all, and the entire lot do not cover the space taken up by a substantial house aud yard that should rent for no larger a sum. The Interiors are separated by mere board partitions, each domi cile being about ten feet square. The floors are rolten, the rooi leans, tne wiuuows are oroueu, the doors can scarcely be closed. And yet in each one of these miserable apartments resides a large family, cooking, eating, sleeping, aud perlormltig all other domestic concerns, In full presence of eacn other. The place had such a tillby look that our companion suspected that there might be fever lurking in it. He put the question to one of the girls, and received for an answer "JNo lover, ontpen(,y oi rum i" Paxslne out of Dougherty's court into ueurora stieet, our attention was attracted by a small piece of paper pinned u son a window-sill, and containing, in a scrawling hand, the words: "A Cellar to Rent." The house which bore this sign was num bered "70," according to some obsolete system of enunieiation. It is located on the south Bide of the street, between Sixth aud Seventh. At the open window sat a shoemaker, hard at work a rare sight, indeed, in this locality. We inquired the name of the landlord, but this piece oi lniormution ne witnneiu, graciously informing us, however, that he rented the wnoie Dutimne, anu suuiei wuat ne uia not need himself. Down into the cellar we went, and found its dimensions to be about ton reoi bv twelve. There was no lliiht. save what came from the door-way in the sidewalk, and a sick ening odor pervaded the place, near tne en trance mere was a raiseu piuuorm. imagining this to be Intended for a bedstead, wo inquired if such were not the case of a slovenly girl who stood at our elbow. But we were disabused of tills impression by being informed that it was "the dresser." . . This cellar was tne only one unoooupiou which we noticed In our stroll. In almost all the others, we were informed that famines were living, most of them paying for this privilege as much as one dollar a week! In several rellars we could see men and women anu children lounging about, at perfect ease. All these abodes are as aanip as mey are tou in limits, and in some we noticed tne water oozing through the nooring. is it a marvei that the cholera and fever delight to luric in such human habitations? Aud what have our health authorities done to remedy mis glaring evil? "The Continental" and "The Glrard." At the side of No. 628 Bedford street, we en tered a narrow nassaue-way. at the end of which we came upon a small open place, and had a full view of "The Continental" and "I 'The Oirard." These.be it understood, are structures adapted to the same use as the famous hotels whose names thev bear. "Tbe Continental" Is situated to the left of the entrance, is con structed of battered boards, and has a length of six feet and a depth of live feet. There were no means oi iigntiug or ventilation, save tueuoor, which -was left o-Jar and held to that posi tion bv a rope. Ou glancing at the Interior, we saw upon the floor two miserable creatures, a man and a woman, ootn oiacu:, wno were par taking of their mid-day meal. They rent "The Continental" of the proprietor for sixty cents per week, ana pack, it iuit every nigut, at ten cents a neaa. Just beyond "The Continental" is situated "The Oirard," a more imposing building, lor its dimensions are lolly six feet by eight, and you can enter it without stooping. In all other respects It was much the same. In this establishment we found a venerable and sensi ble old colored man domiciled, at a weekly rent of ninety cents. Tbe rear of his abode was lined with an assortment of old and ragged clothes, and the floor was covered with rags. Iu the midst of these sat tbe host, scissors iu hand, and busily employed. He arose as we paused at the door, aud in answer to an inquiry as to why he lived in such a place, he replied: I nave to live nere. i nave a sick woman back here, or 1 would go to the country. I am a shoemaker by trade, but can get no Journey work. If I had the money to buy tools, I know wtiere I could get some Job work. As I've got nothln' else to do, I'm cuttln' up some carpet roes.- He then summoned from her retreat in the darkness the "sick woman," who, on appeurlng in the full light of day, presented a ghaitly and shattered spectacle, aud poured forth her grie vances in a scarcely anaiuie voice, as we wore conversing with the couple, a villainous dog. wuicu wbt cnaiaeu near tne aoor. set up a howl aud made a rush at us. The host of "Tne Q irard" was prompt to quell his combatlveness, which he did efteotually, by battering him over the bead With a elnb. and to nrnvant. anv fnW.liov outbreak, plaoed a heavy foot upon his head. "Why do you keep that dog " we inquired. Don't he eat a great deal ?" "He don't eat much, because he don't get much." was the anawr. "uimimin iiiU scraps to spare, he gets 'em; bat when we don't, he goes without. I want to take him into the uuuubi j tt u ujd wueu 1 go. " Ies Miserable!." At another house in the stopped to put a few questions to a rather tidy Irishwoman. She had been living there only two days, and said that during that time she naa seen more trouoie toan in the rest of the twenty years which she had passed in l'hlladel- fihla. But she had to leave the house she was lvlng in, and found it very dtrnoalt to find an other, especially as she had a large family. This woman eaueu iudhiwuuuuui our companion to another woman who was then staying with her, but who was anxious to get something to do, that she might leave the place. A ticket to the "ltosine Asylum" was offered her, but this she stoutly refused to accept, maintaining that she wished to earn some money for herself and cl,ld . . . , , . At No. 629 Bedford street we entered a rickety frame house, two stories in height, with a siugle room on each floor. The lower apartment was filled with lewd white women, whose language was too vulgar to appear in print. The yard attached to this establishment rivalled the in terior in the matter of hllh, the stsntU arising frMii it boin Ri.n.mt intolerable. Yet this wretched abode rents for f 104 per year In the rear of No. 028 Bedford street we came npon the filthiest scene that we encountered. The back-houses bad been overrun, and the stench resulting from this was positively sick ening. Our companion informed us that he had notified the Board of Health of the condi tion of tills place some time ago. but no atten tion whatever had been paid to his complaint. Will our Health authorities persist In such shameful neglect? The answer to this question Is of vital importance to all the people of the city. As we were making our way to the street, we encounteredabrazen-facedand slovenly woman who carried a bottle of rum in ber band. Her whole appearance was abject and dissipated In the extreme. A lew questions revealed the fact that she was only twenty-three, although her age appeared to be double that, at the least, bbe said that she was tired or such a life, but had got into the habit of drinking, and found It difficult to break It off. Hhe assured us, bow ever, that she Intended to do so at a very early period. While we were conversing with her, a respectable-looking old lady appeared upou the scene, aud informed ns that the woman was lost be yond saving. But for her part, she said that she "had never touched a drop of liquor since God formed ber. Her nusband was a drunkard and gave her no peace, so that she had Been too much of It." But we cannot linger in these filthy plaoes, and will notice but two others. The cholera last summer made its first appearance in a court In the rear of No. 012 Hhippen street, which we entered. Our companion informed ns that it was much cleaner now than then, but there is still great room for improvement In this respect. Theonly case of slokness which we found there was that of a Utile mulatto boy, wbo was Just recovering from an attack of the measles. "A Horse I A Horse I" At No. 715 South Seventh street there Is a 'arge sign-board over an open gateway, bearing the following Inscription: ADAM W. LOUTH, II anufucturer oi Bono Dust mid oilier Fertilizer. Orders received fV- Itemoval of for the V Dead Horses. i Adjoining this is a colored Presbyterian Churcn, and we were assured that tbe mem bers of the congregation were so annoyed by the flllb of this concern, that they had endeavored to sell their church, but in valu. No other con gregation appears to envy the site. To this establishment a great number of dead horses are taken, at all seasons of the year, and some ol them are su lie red to remain there several days before the horse-butcher attacks tiie odorous carcasses. Tbe place of dissection is situated some distance from the street, and is accessible also by means of a court runuing north from Bedford street. On this court there Is a row of miserable hovels, two stories In height, packed with people from cellar to top. Tbe cellars take lodgers for twelve cents a nlgnt the first and second floors rent at twenty cents per week. In one of the second-story rooms we found a man at the point of death with fever, while the people living below did not know that there was any sickness in the place. At the end of the row of tenements Is the horse-pen of Adam V. Louth. It was empty at the time of our visit, but tiie beams above pre sented an array of cast-off horse collars, which were there bung up as trophies and souvenirs. We think this Is sufficient to give the public an Idea of the character of this section of our city, ns it appears by the light of day. In con clusion, we desire to say A Few Words to the Board of Health. In such places as we have attempted to dotciltie, there is a population by night of auout one thousand persona to the single square, fully three times as many as are to be found, on the average, in quarters where the houses are two or three limes as large. This alone would be sufficient to breed disease and crime, and when we take into consideration the filth of the streets and the tenements themselves, it Is a marvel that every foul disease to which the human race is subject does not make greater ravages than has proved to be the case. If the Board of Health wid ttke the tioubleto inspect tbe locality, they will find that our picture of its wretohedness and filth falls tar short of the truth. We would alsa call their especial attention to the block bounded by Fifth aud (Sixth and Lombard and South, streets, a detailed notice of whioh is prevented by the want of time aud space. In this block will be found a number of side streets and small courts, the principal ones being Hurst and Lis bon streets, and Uilles' alley. These and all the other thoroughfares in the neighborhood are iu a vile condition. RELIGIOUS NOTICES. HORTII IlltU tU STREET PKKSB V- tkhian c.ti LitUH.

A. very distressing nymn. torn, resulting from mental derangements. 10th. Symptoms of External Jfelation.Tho row tlent Is allected painfully by cold and heat Which Is owing to unuatural dryness of skin' and the shin is often allected by eruptions and tetters, lhe gloomy dyspeptic avoids soolety aa much as possible. 11th. Vomiting. A frequent and distressing symptom. It relieves the pain, but emaciates and wears out the patient. 12th. Dizziness, dimness of virion, headache, and staggering in walking. Those are very alarmlna. symptoms, which are Bjwusdily removed by our medicine s; but If neglected are quickly followed by numbness and sudden death. 13th. It Is impossible lor us to give all the symptoms of Uyapepsia in so small a space, but the above are considered sufficient, if we add that the patient loses hla memory and regard to suirauudliig objects, and frequently becomes morose and sour iu disposition. We should say. however, that pains In the Joints and stiffness of the limbs, which go by the name of rrruunm tiMn aud lu-uralglu, are produced by Dyspepsia, Also, a barduess of the muscles of the abdomen, which becomes contracted aud hard; and In. some cases the belly sinks, instead of beln gently prominent. N. B. Perhaps we have not said enough of that strongest symptom of Dyspepsia, melan choly. We have examined hundreds of cases of Dyspepsia, who were so much affected in their minds that they constantly forbode loss or their reason, which unfitted them for business of any kind, and many of them have been patients of the Insane Asylum, who are now permanently cured by our medicine. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent yearly, and hundreds of thousands of the best men and women of America linger in pain and die, and fill a premature grave, with that awful disease. Dyspepsia. They try this physician and that physician, but alas I alas I nolelief.no cure; and the next we hear of them they have gone "to that bourne from whence no traveller returns." Out of the thousands of cases of Dyspepsia that have used Dr. WIshart's Great American Dyspepsia Pills and Plue Tree Tar Cordial, not one of them has failed of a nerfoot cure. Wa. warrant a perfect cure in every case, no matter it De twenty years' standing. Sold b ail druggists everywhere, and at Dr. WIshart's Office, No. 10 N. Second stroet, Philadelphia, i s.

VISHART'tl TINE TREE TAR CORDIAL. A CHEAT REMEDY FOR TIIE CORE OF THROAT AND LIKU DISEASES. PINE TREE TAR CORDIAL. It is the vital principle of the Pine Tree ob tained by a peculiar process in tbe distillation of the tar, by whioh Its highest medical proper ties are retained. Jt is the only safe and reliable remedy whioh has ever been prepared from the Juice of the Pine Tree. It invigorates the digestive organs and re stores the appetite. It strengthens the debilitated system. It purifies and enriches the blood, aud expels from the system the corruption which scrofula breeds on the lungs. It dissolves the mucus or phlegm whioh stops the air passages of the lungs. Its healing principle acts upon the irritated surface of the lungs and throat, penetrating to each diseased part, relieving pain and Bubduing inflammation. It is the result of years of study and expert ment, and It is offered to the afflicted with tha positive assurance of its power to cure, if the patient has not loo long delayed a resort to the means of cure. CAPTION. Whereas, Base and designing men, regardless of tbe Uvea of the sick, and with a view solely to their own pockets, are making and vending a spurious article worse than useless repre sen ting It as my Pine Tree Cordial, copying, la some cases, my labels and bottles, with slight variation to protect thera from the law, the subscriber has been induced as a protection to the publlo, to punish a fao-sltnile of his bot ties as last patented by the United States Got ernment; and hereby cautions all persons. who value their health and life against purchasing any of tbe many preparations offered for sais as Tar Cordial, unless my name and a Pine Tree is blown on the bottle; ail others being a wicked Imposition to deceive the suffering and fleece them of their money, regardless of con sequences. The genuine Pine Tree Tar Cordial is made by a process and of ingredients known only to myBeif, which secret has never been divulged; and any and all persons claiming to make uaqr Pine Tree Tar Cordial are but vile Impostors.
