'Wlckedmt Man of New York-"
And now Providence has coiDi anJTaTen hold
Of Kit Hum, ami spelt his r name correctly, and
Inaugurated reunions services In his doe-pit, nnd
Is leading him In a way that Kit koowi not of.
And the Senators and excnators of the State of

twenty thousand vi?n bonds who have been
Kit's pat row, stand nahaste nrid naxlously In
quire, "Men and brethren, what shall we do that
our d op-pit may benaveti r"
In hunting down the "fhsd j Bide of Metroio
litan Life," I cams upon Kit lturn In dne season,
and found him to bo a representative roan, and
one of wbnai (with his surroundine) those who
wish to ameliorate the condition pt society
should lake note.

BY ' ' J
I 273 -, . Kit Brrmr. - 273 j
Kit, when a youngster, used to run around
bare headed and bare-tooted at Yankee Bulll
van's, and similar placss ol resort, simply to get
a sip Lit of the joun? quadrupeds that were kept
at such' ctuMishaieDt&, and pat them on the
bead i lie was pnssionalely fond of doss, and
dogs weie loud of him; and the mutual a lie ct ion
between man and dot;" tin ally cropped out In
the establishment of KltM pit, which soon ex
panded luto the present Sportsman's Hall, No.
273 Wa er street.
Kit isaMout, portly, muscular man, with a
face as quiet, plucky, and good-natured as that
of h, s best blooded bull-doff. It is claimed by
certain scientists and philosophers that a man
grows into a rfsemb'anee of that to which ha
most devotes, .himself, ani the theory holds true
in Kii'p rft;e.
The" barroom of "Sportman's Hall," which Is
entered horn the street, is in harmony with the
proprietor's individualitv, especially as to its
decorations. These consist of pictures of hunt
lae scenes; and of parties "Camping awhile in
the Wilderness," of lithographs of prize-tights,
Including the - famoas tfeennu and Say re i
"mill," aud of thirty-six of the most noted prize
fighters who have ever lived.. Ibe prize-fighters
are repteseuted as stript to their work and In
business attitudes that Is to say, in perfect
readiness to punch any bead or mash any "mug"
that Providence might send within their reach.
To hear Kit talk, when mellowed by his
favorite beverage to an oratorical mood, about
these' pictured prize-fighters, is equal to any
treat that ever comes off in his bar room.
"Ah!" Jio says, as he stands contemplatively
before one of his favorites, "be was a man. You
couldn't count up his p'inta ou your finders.
And then be bandied bUecIf to tidy. Nothing
flabby . about him. And sich a claret tipper I
He al'us sot the Tuby' flowing."
From the bur-room you wind Into the dog-pit,
through a pass ns ea.v of defense as that of
Thermopylte. One determined man could hold
this pass against a host, unless he should be
shot down," This is to guard against surprise by
the police when a dog-flhtor a ra'.-killing is
in prorrefs. But it would make sad work if the
building shoiild'tske fire when the amphitheatre
was crowded from floor to root with worshippers
at a prajer meeting or rullians at a dog-tight.
The greater portion of the audience, whether
saints or sinners, would be almost certain to be
roaMed alive. t. t j -
The dog-pit or rat-pit for it Is used both for
dog-flgnts and rat-killing is near the centre of
the room. It - is surrounded by a solid tence
about two feet hleb, aid impervious to rats. It
is oval in form, and about ten leel long and six
feet wide at the widest part. From this pit the
seats rise, in a circular iorm , as near to the ceil
ing as tbe endurance of those who occupy the
topmost row will parmit. The room will hold
two hundred and fifty decent people and four
hundred indecent ones, as indecency can alvays
be packed closer than decency.
The rats are kept io a large wire cage in the
centre ' of the pit, and most of the dogs are
chained urouDd beneath the seats, care being
taken not to give them sufficient lemrth ot chain
to allow ihem to reach one anouier wmi tueir
teeth. The choicest dogs are kept in what
might be called canine boudoirs, up stairs
where they are surrounded wtth all the comforts
of a home, aud supplied with all the delacies of
the season in which the canine palate delights.
They are fed ou the most nourishing viands. Kit
cava his famous dosr Beltcber has much better
food than he eats himself. Beltcber has fought
twelve battles, killing seven dogs out of the
twelve,' and. although now getting along in
years, is still "good for his dog." A dog's best
fighting days are between the age of two and
three years.
The price of a rat at Kit's is twenty cents,
which sttm the etiquette of the place requires
visitors to band him for every rat killed for
their delectation. What the rats cost Kit he
does not say. They are caught for blm by a
young man who is reputed to have a "gift" and
a "mission" for the work. This unusual young
roan is said to catch the rats with his hands, in
the (lark, or by daylight, with such, tongs as are
above described. He goes to slaughter-houses
for them,-and to other places where rats most
do congregate, taking a cage with him in which
to bring them home. The trick ot catching the
rats i supposed to be a great secret, and not one
to be teveaied. "Lots ot folks have tried to find
It out," says Kit; "but 'tatn't no use. It'll al'us
be aecrut." The "secret" probably Is, that the
rat-catcher does not share thitt shrinking horror
which rats inspire In the common human breast,
but picks them up as unconcernedly as he would
pick up links of sausage.
Oneof the most astonishing things which the
curiosity seeker can see at Kit Bum's is his
daughter Kitty brandishing her war clubs.
Kitty is a small, fi agile looking girl, seemingly
about sixteen years old", and yet she will take a
pair' of war-clubs, weighing sixteen pounds
eack, and handle them with an ease and
velocity which must be teen to be appreciated.
In a spurring match with a friend, an ungal
lant accident allowed the gentleman's ' leit" to
come down on Kitty's, noee with a force which
crushed the bone and spoiled the beauty of that
organ; but when the girl becomes animated iu
Whirling her sixteen-pound war-clubs, one's
astonishment at her physical powers tor the
time makes him forget her broken nose, and
when she finally sets down the clubs, the- mas
culine beholder finds himself Involuntarily
thanking Heaven that tie women of the laud
have not bit upon them as a means of solving
the great question of "Womau's Rights." What
could a hut band do, cornered of a morning,
with his triumpuant wife s anding before bleu
gracefully poising in each hand a 16-pound war
club, and affectioaately suggesting to the trem
bling w i etch his programme for J,he day I
Kit says that Mr. Bergh, the irrepressible Pre
sident of the Society for the Prevention ot
Cruelty to Animals, is doing much injury to the
sports of Water street. Mr. Burn does not
charge Mr. Bergh with any malice. He ascribes
his hostility to the recreations of the rat pit to
ignorance. "Mr. Bergb,"says Mr. Burn, "calls
a rat an animal 1 Now, everybody ot any sense
knows that a rat is a vermfu. Bergh takes up
for the rat, and won't let us kill rats, because be
thinks they're animals. Wouldn't he kill a rat
if he found one In a Is cellar? Wouldn't he kill
a rat if he found one In his cupboard f Of course
he would. Bat would he kill a horse If he found
one la his yard, or even in his parlor? Of course
he wouldn't. WDyi icause a norse is an ant
mal, bat a rat aiut. I know rats. I know they're
vermin, and they ought to be killed; aud it we
can get a little sport out of their killing, so
much the rotter. "
Buch is the Water street view of Mr. Bergh,
.nri rt rat, and ol rat Willing.
The opening of Kit Burn's dog pit for noon
day piayer-meetlog during the week, aad for
ianMna on the Sabbath, has caused a deeper
. sensation among the population of the Fourth
ward than eitnsr oi toe previous cycuis iu me
same line at John Allen's or Tommy Haddeu's.
Hnir.nlt was looked upon as the strong-
trM if the "fancv." the one cltadei of bin
. rr,i.l,l not 'he taken bv the hosts O
righteousness, either by force or persuasion ; and
now that it has capitulated, the couvlction has
become pretty esueral that no place is secure
.n,i.i til inroads of the ngtrrefslve Gospfl,
J i,. i. ! pome down ou Water street. The
.oneiiiagof Kit's dog-pit for religious exercises
is diu to the general Influence of the revival
upon the locality, and to Mr. Arnold's tact and
popularity with - all - classes of human brings.
The price paid for . the occupancy is $175 a
month, which Is about t he cheapest rent paid la
the city foropet fnrpoes; -
-Kit does not protest to be religiously inclined
and, in fact, hardly knows what to think of the
movement, or of bis own couduct. Be has gone
into It under the impulsion of feellugs whlcu he
-cat not analyze, and which may lead him to un
expected results, it is a great thing, however.
to have tinned his dog-pit Into a place ofprafcr

motives of its proprietor. y

The cable being laid, this company propose erecting

means of communication, which must command
there, as everywhere else, the communications or the
Government, oi business, and of social life, especially
In China. She has no postal system, and her only

yet realize that she contains more than a third of the
human race. The latest returns made to her central
authorities for taxing purposes, by the local magis
trates, make her population Four Hundred and Four
teen Million, and this is more likely to be under than
over the actual aggregate. Nearly all of these who
are over ten years old not only can, but do read aud
write. Her civilization Is peculiar, but her literature
Is as extensive as that of Europe. China Is a land of
teacheis and traders; and the latter are exoeedlntly
quick to avail ttemaelves of every proffered facility
for procuring early Information. It Is observed la
California that the Chinese make great use of the
telegraph, though it there transmits messages In En
glish alone. To-day, great numbers of fleet steamers
are owned by Chinese merchants, and used by them
exclusively for the transmission of early intelligence,
If the telegraph wepropose, connecting all their great
seaports, were now In existence. It Is believed that
Its bunlness would pay its cost within the nrst two
years of Its successful operation, and would steadily
Increase thereafter.

Upon snch a property costing nearly three times
their amount,
ARE ENTIRELY SECURE.
The Union Pacific Bonds run thirty years, are for
1000 each, and have coupons attached. They beat
anmial Interest, payable on the first days or January
and July, at the Company's office In the City of New
York, at the rate of six per cent. In gold. The prlnol .
pal Is payable In gold at maturity. The price Is lot
and at the present rate ot gold, they pay a liberal
Income on their cost,
A very Important consideration In determining the
value of these bonds Is the length of time tltev have to
run.,
It Is well known that a long bond always commands
a much higher price than a short one. It Is safe to
assume that durlug the next thirty years, tha rate ol
Interest In the , United States wlil decline as it has
dona In Europe, and we have a right to expect that
each six per cent, securities as these will be held at as
high a premium as those of this Government, which
In 18(7 were bought Io at from 20 to 28 per cent, above
par. I The export demand alone may produce this re
sult,! and as the lasae of a private corporation, they
are beyond the reach of political action. . - . ,
The Company believe that their Bonds, at the pre
sent rate, are the cheapest security In the market, and
