Many llrnca during the paet IOTT wcska the attention of the no- llco authorities baa been called to the state of aiUira which exists in that lo cality , to the low forms of human llfo which congrcgato thcro , and io the utter disregard of all moral and physical decency on the part of the inhabitants of the rookory. The Italians are continually fighting among themselves with uoturo , readiest weapons , sometimes with ntonca and somotimcs , oven , with kuivoi and revolvers. With that revengeful ire , and that vindictive hate which is charac teristic of the race , the Ila'itm knows no naalcr or plainer way of settling a dispute than that of a fight , roufh ; and tumble , or with weapons , and the eonecqnunco is t : o neighborhood is filled for no email chato of the time with the noieo of battle tle/ The people In that vlclnllyslso complain of potty thieving on the part of the Italians , many of whom doubtless resort to this moans of procuring a 'live lihood In preference to honest labor. The houses themselves are marvellous ly constructed , with so much ventilation in the way of decayed doors , broken r/indow panes , cracked weather-boards , that how , during these arctic daje , hu man lifo sustains itself within the four walh of ono ot these shanties , is a myo- tory yet undiscovered. The interior cf the houses are woking with every variety of filth , and permeated by the most nau seating odors , The families are huddled together in n raannor revolting to every inctluct of decency , as well as in viola tion of all ruloi of health. In fact thcro exists in this locality the alums of Omaha , presenting a curious study of the lowest phases of human lifo and aflordiug bonudloes opportunity for an active homo missionary to win for himself unlimited glory.
