Reporter accompanying police officer Stevens visits the Five Points area. Describes clean lamp-lit cellar rooms, then dives into the poverty and filth of alleys, dormitories, and overcrowded huts where starving men women and children sleep amid squalor. The piece ends with a call for private benevolence and Council action.
A historical narrative recalls Ney's heroic stand at Waterloo, with Napoleon's faltering star and the French guard charging under heavy fire.
