JjSqualiol Poverty in tho North?How the I * Poor Live.iii New York. . The New York Evening Post cklls attention to the increased mortality in that oity, and the . eai|6es that produce it, One fertile cause of disease and death is'the overcrowded condition of the po'puL-uton, nearly three /jurirtevs of a million of whom, it is estimated, live in miserable dirty tenement hou.-os, where cleanliness and comfort are utterly impossible. 'Speaking of the filth of these tenement houses, the Post ' 8ays " ; J . . v. . .. . The imnates throw their slops and refuse *. ,*rattcr into the Streets, and not less "than ] 3500 loads are carried ?way daily. Besides this perpetual nuisance,, thdre afc two hundred and fp"ty slaughter houses in the densely peopled sections of thescity, from which fecal matter finds its'way along the" gutters to the eewers. The stench emanating from these' establishments, render many houses in their ] neighborhood uninhabitable. Added tb these J w abominations are numerous fat boiling, hide j and offal establishments, whose fetid "exbalta- ; tions infect the atmosphere. With such a ! catalogue of life-destroying agencies, it is a j wonder that pestilence do not sweep off the \ . populations by thousands. The Post gives the'following startling-fjgnres relative to the classification of the population, taken rotn statistics published five years ago; since wbictf time the .tenement evil has gone pn, increasing: "Of 115,986 families residing in Now York oity, only 15,990 are able to enjoy the luxury , of an independent home; 14,862 other families live in comparative comfort. two in a house; '4416 buildings contain three families each, . and yet-do not come under the head of tenements; and the 11,965 dwelling" houses- which , r remain are the homes of 72,8&G families,.being ' an average of seven families or thirty five sm.ls i to each .house !

Thfs scorn? shocking. But this is.by no means the worrft. There nre 580. tenement houses" in New York which contain, by actual courtt* K),938 families, or ; about 86 persons each; 193 others which acoomtaodato 141 persons each; 71 others, which J cover 140 each; and finalJy, 29?these must j be the most profkable-'-wbioh have a total i population of no less than 5,439 souls, or 1.87") to each house. The part of Fifth Avenue i which holds ,the chief part of the wealth and fashion of New York, has ah extent of about J two miles, or, counting both sides of the street? f four ?pilea. These four miles of stately ' pula- [ ces ar? occupied by 400 families; while a single block of .tenement houses, not two hundred ... . out" of Fifth Avenue, contains lib less than ' *00 families, or, 3500 souls, l even such I blocks, Mr. Halliday pertidently remarked, contain more people than the city of Hartford, 1 which covers an area of se era! miles.
