LOW LIFE.
Ictnre by the " Wickedest Man" Au
thor. The New York Tribune of this morning pub
litkes the following account of Oliver Dyer's
lecture at Cooper Institute last night on "What
1 have Seen In New York."
The lecturer was introduced by S. S. Packard,
In whose Monthly he first called alteutlon to the
oiisteuce of John Allen's dance-honse in Water
atreet, and awakened an interest in the popular
mind which seems to be daily increasing. He
opened by remarking that it had taken him
fourteen years to learn what he knew of tbe
lark side of New York life, which would
require at least three times as long to
Impart. One of his last experiences
among tha poor, naked wretches that
bide the peltiDg of the Vltilcrs storm whose
houseless heads, and unfed sides, and looped
and windowed raggedness cannot defend them
from the cold of winter was with a'poor sewing
woman in Fish street. He found her plying her
needle in tbe open air. It was a bitter day, yet
her dress consisted of but one thin garment,
and her head, aud neck, and feet were bare.
Down in her dark and cold room, nuder crround.
was her babe, a mere skeleton. A little boy of
live jeuis was roc ting tne craaie, ana amuinz,
tbe child by jingling two tin cups, through the
handles of which be bad thrust his tblu arms.
The mother was obliged to sew outside, for
tbtre was so light within, and aiedlclne and
food for her suffering children had to be earned.
She told hr visitor that when times were good
abe conld earn $4 a week, that she paid $1'25 for
her room, and that when her little ones required
much ot her time, or whf n way-It was scarce, or
when the fell ill with tbe cold. It was hard to
keep alive. A woman in Tenth street with two
children, ene paraljzed lioui the hips down
ward, worked out bv tbe day, and as no family.
not even the best Christian family in our city,
aid the speaker, wishes to have the serving
woman's children in their house, she was forced
to leave them at home. When she started out
to woik, she would place upon the floor a bowl
t water and a plate of broken bread to supply
her children's wants during the day, and, lock
ing them In, wonld leave them till evening came
ana neriou w iver. misuuor creature earned
latt enough to pay ner rest ana to provide
Aer little family with their needed food. One
day is the dead of winter be noticed near
lbs city mil a mite gin vu crutches
elllna pnny songs, lie accosted the
olid, and asked her why ine was
thos engaged: 'To get bread lor my
other," was tbe reply. On questioning the
girl he learned that her mother was slek. and
that lor a tang time she hud been able to do
nothing for lerxeir. With the little Couple as
his guide, be found his way to her home, .
wretched cellar in the filthiest partot the Fourth
Ward. Passing through the subterranean apart
ment, crowded with abject creatures of both
exes, he groped his way Into another, Into
which no light penetrated, and no air, except
tbe noisome vapor from the cell in front. lie
struck a light, and to his gaze was revealed a
most sickening sight In the middle of
a room recking with filth, the walls
oozing with damp, the fetid atmosphere
almost Jpo !!ck to breathe, lay a
omftnof middle age, dying by inches, with a
most loathsome disease. He left the place, try
ing bard to induce the child to go with him, but
she wonld not leave her mother. In a few
days, after receiving every attention from kind
hearted women, the Door wretch died. Her
body was properly prepared for burial; but
during the night thieves came In, cut the hair
from the head of the cornse, stripped it of the
clothing in which It had been robed, and left it
covered only with a ragged, dirty counterpane.
A wake was held by the miserable inmates of
the den, and in their orgies they rolled the body
over tbe floor until It reached the feet of the
crippled'child, now almost paralyzed with fear.
Her screams attracted the attention of people 1n
the street, and a gentleman who entered
with the crowd carried her to
the Howard Mission, from which initita
tion she was sent not long ago to a Cgood
home, Mr. Dyer gave a mans of statistics of
destitution and crime in New York, and argued
very justly that the mi?eruble social condition
of the very poor of the city is duo in a great
measure to the shine of the island on which we
live. His description of the modern tenement
house, with itt 1200 inmntes, and his statement
that below Twenty-third street dwellings of this
kind give shelter to more than 600,000 people,
took his audience by eurprlse. and prepared
them for the earnest remark which inllovoe.l
that "There is no use in prcachl'ig the Gospel to
firtne crowucu loeemer izuit in one nouse;
there is no cure for their moral and physical tils
but to unpack and scatter them where they can
breathe God's pure uir, and live like human
beinge."

FINANCIAL ITEMS.
The N.Y. Herald ot this morning says:
"There was no material change la the tone of the
money market, but the exceptional transactions at
nve per cent, were somewbat more numerous. Tbe
general rate for call loaus on mixed collaterals was.
however, four percent , and tbe principal daalere la
Government securities were, as usual far many weeks
past, enabled to borrow all they required at three.
There Is very little currency being sent westward
from tbls centre, and small and moderate amounts
of currency are still being received from Western
cities. A Chicago Journal ttf Tuesday says that mer
chants tbere are borrowing very little from their
bankers, owing to tbe cttab system of doing business
that prevails, and tbat the aggregate demand for
money Is rather lluhl, although at the banks where
large grain accounts are kepi It Is reported active,
while there la a strong disposition to ravor those who
draw against tblpmtnls. The Southern cities are
better supplied with currency tban Is usual at this
season, aud a New Orleans Journal of Saturday la.it
remarks tbat the money market tben was growing
easier. All Ihe Indications at tbls centre are still lu
favor of continued monetary ease, and the quarterly
statement of tbe national banks are likely to be
mane up wlthoot causing any disturbance whatever,
although before long a temporary advance In the rate
ot Interest Is not Improbable; bui strlngeacy Is Impos
sible. The operators for arise on the Stock Exchange
have, therefore, unthlng to tear from this source
The dry roods auctlou sales were moderately at
tended io-dav, but bidding waa not very spirited and
prices wet e on tbe wbole steady."
Tbe New York Triount ot this morning says:
"Money baa assumed a firmer toue, and no near
bunlukua Is reported undnr 6 percent., aud a large
number of 4 per o?ut. loans was marked up to-day.
Government brokers continue to have large oalaoues
left with tbem at a(a 4 per cent, but on the street
there was no desire to lend at these a ten, or to make
long con. ractB at 7 per cent. 1 he (five anient have
appeared in the market as the seller of gold, which,
added to the rumors of locking up of money by the
bears, his produced great distrust among speculators
aud Increased caution among money leaders. Wltula
is mom In there have been three succemlul oornera
worked on the money market by hordlng, aud, as
the present eliorl Interest is verv heavy, there Is but
little doubt that tbe attempt will be male to break
down prices by the sarre o -une tbat bas been so suo
eeiterul In the past. Wer tbe eflc s of stringent
u,,ny C' n fined to Wall mreet speculators alone it
would be of alight coasetiinioe, but last exporience
basshown that the mere utile aud manufacturing
interests sutler most, as was shown lait year wheu
tbere was nut a failure on ti e Stock Exchange during
the pressure, but Immediate lalluree in business
circles; aud It la to b lioeed tbat Mr. MoOullooh
will not be tempted to withdraw a dollar more cur
rency from the street Ihuu Is absolutely necessary,
and thus assist a ring of speculators who have ouly
their own Interest towarraut this movement at tbe
expense of the business of ihe entire country, as well
as the Government itself, hloh loses large reveuues
from tbe depreciation csused by these money
spasms. There Is more demand fur money at the
West and It lapronable that there will bv an la
creased demand next week to move tbe grata de
layed by the storms."
