there is a deal ot fraternity between

BUYING HIS WARES.
The coster is up early in the morning
while luxurious Loudon sleeps. He is
then In the market buying his goods in
the gray dawning. Covent Garden
market is the favored one for green stuffs,
cut flowers and growing plants. For tish.
etc., Billingsgate is the' place. 1 ooce

said before, is universal in England. For
“ ’opping” the groundsel man receives bis
living, that is, deoent food and shelter,
and at the end of the season a sum of
money varying with different grow
ers. It is always a little nest
egg to replenish his stock in trade
and start him in good shape for the win
ter. Poor cnap, his food and lodging cost
him such a veritable trifle. There goes a
groundsel man down the street as we
pass who has sold his simple gr.eens in
Islington and Clerkenwell for twenty
three years, year in and year out. He
calls his feminine customer “your lady
ship,” out of delicate flattery. 80 you see
even a groundsel man may be gallant on
occasions. He and 1 are great chums.
We exchange views on the state of his
trnde, etc. 1 wish 1 could reproduce him
on canvas, for be is a quaint, harmless
old creature, and 1 only know him as
“Billy Chiokweed.”
ENGLISH HOUSES FOR THE PETS.
I allude to the ugly bird cages. You
have doubtless been wondering what I
mean. Weil, 1 can only say that never
In my life have 1 seen anything as ugly
as the usual English bird cage. It is
painted white, square and squatty, and is
surrounded by a border of glass panes to
keep the seed from spilling out of Dicky’s
mouth to the floor. On a reoent hasty
visit to America I brought back two of
our American graceful gilt-wired canary
bird pagodas,which! hung in the windows
on gilded chains. Then with a yard of
white tarleton I constructed a little fur
below protection, such as we ars so used
to in Now York, Boston and Philadelphia,
ornamenting the white trifle with a bright
bow of ribbon. The “stares” to which
those cages have Dean subjected are mat
ters of amusement to me. Billy Chick
weed nearly spilled his wares on the
street In his rapt admiration and sur
prise.
“•New cages, Billy,” I observed.
“Bu they Hamencan, your ladyship?”
he cautiously queried.
“Yus,” 1 replied.
“Well, 1 never; wot will tlietu bloomin’
Humericans be up to next, 1 wondtr,” he
murmured, scratching his head In hope
less speculation, and dropping his street
cry to a ruminative whisper.
A MAN WITH MANY LITTLE FRIENDS.
Another curious character in London’s
changing street scenes is the “cat’s
meat man.” His cry is between a snort
and a srunt. lie daßbes it out “( at’s
meat, cat’s-meat.” as though his line of
trade were a toregbuo con
clusion to all keepers of felines.
He has a regular route of
traffic, called “a walk.” He always has
a barrow, unless, as Is rarely the case,
ho prefer a basket. The barrow is a thick
set, bulgy barrow, in fact an ordinary
wheelbarrow with high wheel and rests.
People buy oat’s meat by the farthing’s
worm, or hapenny’s worth, or penny’s
worth, according to their needs. The
meat aforesaid is composed of horseflesh.
It is cut into small pieoes and pushed on
tiny wooden skewers. Why. all the cats
and dogs of the parish know the “cat’s
meat man.” He has a raeabond
following in the streets, a motley
crowd of free pensioners to whom he
often throws a scrap of food as he passes
on nls way. It Is not choice food, but is
“filling at tbe price,” though one hesi
tates to purchase It for a favorite cat or
dog. The cat’s-meat man is a dealer in
animals as well, and combines also the
duties of general surgeon to these four
looted pets. 1 never saw one of them
who did not love animals. Tbe calling,
though humble. Is an nonest one, and as
them Is but little competition those who
engage In It get on well In lire, frequently
branching out into larger fields of labor
in their line.
A BIT OF CRAPE.
But it Is searly noon, and we wax liun

W bat is tbe meaning of that bit of black
crape tied on the lamp post, and where Is

along on her crutches and replies: “Are
you lookin’ for dad, mum? ’Cause tam’t

brutal vernacular of the streets). So, In
respect for the mourning crape, we drop

that this is a grim conclusion to our morn

Frnm the Arkanaw Traveler.
A traveler in the Mississippi river bot
toms came upon an old fellow sitting on
a log, nodding.
“Halloa.”
“Hy,” replied the old fellow, lazily look
ing up.
“Do you live near here?” the traveler
asked.
“Over van,” pointing.
“What', down In that low place?”
“Ab, hah.”
“it’s a wonder you don’t die.”
“Would, I reckon, if I didn’t keep oner
livin’.”
“Don’t you have chills and fevers?”
“Shake's little sometimes, but er feller
don’t mind it ef he ain’t got nothin’ else
ter do.”
“Yes, but I should think that he would
have to do something else in order to make
a living.”
“Yas, do look er leetle thater way.”
“Why don’t you move away from
here?”
“Look here, whar do you live ?”
“In the blue grass regions of Ken
tucky.”
“Why don’t you move away?”
“Because I like the country.”
“Wall, I don’t more because I like this
here country!”
“But, my dear sir, there are many
things to induce a man to live where 1
do. One of them —and I suppose it would
strike you harder than any of the rest—is
that a man does not have to work very
hard for a living.”
“I’odner, that’s just the very reason I
stay here. It ain’t no trouble ter ketch
fish enough to eat.”
“Y’es, but the bottom overflows. You
can’t catch fish then.”
“No, but then the picnic comes, for you
see the government sends us meat an’

A LITTLE RHMANCt; OF THE
ROAD.
How a Tiny Soubrette Unexpectedly
Joined a Traveling Company.
Froin the Neu> York Sun.
It was a email company. The treasurer,
who was also the leading juvenile In the
drama, owed himself last week's salary.
It must remain a sad debt, too, for, with
the comedian, who doubled in brass and
was always a week ahead of tne treasurer
in salary, there was no possible hope of
immediate negotiation. The leading man
was the manager, and at the same time
ho was fortunately married to tho sou
brette star ot the company. They were all
in the South, making one-night stands,
the misery of which no man can judge,
before he shall have endured it. All
night long tbe train had been speeding.
Force of circumstances had placed sleep
ers out of tbe question. Probably they
would make Augusta, Ga., In the morn
ing, and that was all they wanted, Tor
there they were to have three whole
nights, and then there was a chance
that the treasurer would pay him
self oft’.
In tbe rear of tbe car the four or five
females of the troupe talked In low tones.
The youngest of them was visibly embar
rassed, and now and then glanced con
fusedly at the men, four of whom played
poker on a lap board and wagered chiefly
by word of mouth, gravely booking each
tura of fortune as with the air that “all
will be settled anon.” Only the leading
man seemed unhappy, and he lingered
near the group of women. Cards seemed
to have no fascination for him that night.
The soubrotte star was the centre of tbe
party of females, and her face was that or
a woman in pain. After & time she whisp
ered to the girl nearest her, aa<l then to
the leading man.
The game went on. The comedian was
a month’s salary ahead of the treasurer.
A hall-suppressed moan came from the
other end of the car. The players would
have turned, but tne leading man was
lacing them, a flush on his face and a
moist look in his eyes.
“It’s tho liule girl, he said,
quietly enough; “something’s gone
wrong.”
The comedian put away tbe cards.
Somebody suggested a smoke. They had
all smoked less than an hour previous,
but they all went ahead into tne next
car, and there they talked in low tones
and with sober laces. The train kept
speeding ou.
By und by the loading man came
into their car. Somebody put a hand
out, und it was grasped firmly and
quickly.
“It’s all right,boys!”—joyously; “but”
—sadly—"lt will knock us out tor a fort
night or more. It’s a boy, anyhow, born
en route, and I’m proud of it!”
Then and tnere every man in the car
shook bis hand and wished him luck. The
comedian made 11 small-voiced allusion to
a small bottle, which the treasurer called
a big bluff. And, in three hours, Augusta
was made. But there was no star lor
them there.
A mother’s pale hut radiant face looked
out troui under the blanketsof a little bed
in a plainly furnished room In a second
class hotel, and an infant's wee voice
penetrated to tho hallway below. “That
troupe’s going to buve a hard time of it,”
said the night clerk as be went off duty.
“Star sick; nobody to take her plaoe;
dates canceled; no money; not much
wardrobe. 1 think I’ll stick to hotel
life. Once I thought I’d take tbe ad
vance of a minstrel show; but 1 reckon
I’mluoky!”
Hounds like fiction, doesn't It? Yet it’s
fact, anditnappunsd only tan days ago.
An actor just in from tbe road told It to
the reporter yesterday, and he verified It
with the names of tbe company and ol the
star.
Collars and cuffs of velvet are seen on
all sorts of thin fabrics, even mulls.

SECOND FLOOR.
A SPOOL OF THREAD,
What Cotton Goes Through Before
it Reaches the Needle.
From the Washington Star.
Few people ever stop to think of the
twistings and turnings and tbe various
processes that cotton fibro goes through
after it is taken from the poa before it Is
wound up on a spool and ready for the
housewife’s needle. The whole story is
told, however, In a small space In one of
tbe cases in the ball in the National Mu
seum given up to an exhibition of textile
fabrics. This is one ot tbe many
object lessons in tbe museum, which,
combined, are intended to tell the story
of a man as be exists on tbs eurtb.
First is shown a specimen of cotton in
tbe pod just as it is picked, without hav
ing the seeds removed. Next is shown a
specimen ot tbe same ootton after it bas
been ginned and tbe black seeds have
been removed. The sea island cotton is
used for thread on account ot the length
of the fibre. A sample of the sacktug In
which the cotton is baled is also shown.
Then tbe cotton is supposed to have been
baled and shipped to the thread factory.
Here tbe first thing that is done with tbe
ootton is to subject It to the “picker”
process, by which tbe ootton lroni sev
eral bales is mixed to secure uni
formity. During the picker process
much waste, iu tbe form of dust,
dirt and short fibers, are separated from
the good fibres by the picker. Next tbe
“picked” cotton Is wound on a
machine, in sheets or laps, into a roll.
Tbe next process, illustrated by a practi
cal exhibit, is tbe carding by wbion tbe
sheets of cotton are combed or run out
flnto long parallel fibres. The cotton is
next seen drawn through a trumpet
shaped opeuing, which condenses it into
a single strand or “silver.” Then eight
such slivers are run together into one,
six of the strands thus produced ara
drawn into one, and again six ol the
strands from the last drawing are com
bined Into one. Then comes tbe Blubbing
or fast “roving” process, which consists
ot winding the strand and bobbin. Two
strands are twisted and again wound on
a bobbin. After a number of other twist
ings and windings, during which the
strand is gradually reduced in size, until
It begins to assume a thread like Appear
ance, two strands of this fine “roving”
are run together and twisted, under
considerable tension, on a bobbin that
makes 7,001) revolutions a minute. Two
of the cords thus - produced are then
wound together on a spool, and then
twisted from that to another spool. The
two-cord thread thus produced is trans
ferred thence to another spool, and theu
three threads of two cords each are
twisted together, lormiug six-cord
thread. One who hatfollowed the process
sees the ootton gradually transformed
from a wide band or sheet of loose cotton
to a compact thread that will pass
through the eye of a needle. Tho slx-oord
thread Is at last taken from a bobbin and
reeled into a skein, in wbiob form it is
bleached or dyed. Then It is wound back
upon tbe skem upon a big spool, from
which It Is supplied to little white birch
spools from wbiob it is wound In regular
courses, and Is then ready for tbe market.
Tbe machine that regulates tbe last wind
ing measures the number of yards wound
on each spool. The spools are made of
various sizes to bold from 200 to 12,000
yards of thread. The labels that decorate
the end of tbe spools when they are sold
are last put on. They are cut and pasted
on by machinery with great rapidity.

Sherman and Ingalls Compared.
From the Washington Correspondent M, Y. Fan.
A day or two after Mr. Ingalls, of Kan
sas, succeeded Mr. Sherman, ol Ohio, as
President pro tempore of the Senate the
two men met in front of the presiding
officer’s chair, and walked down the cen
tre aisle to the south door together and out
into the corridor. Those who saw the two
distinguished statesmen side by side re
marked the great similarity of their physi
cal make-up. Both are abovo tl feet 2ln
height, and neither will tip the beam at
lot). They are slender as rails, and but
lorn slight stoop in Mr. Sherman’s back,
obtained by looking downward in medita
tion as he walks, each would lie straight
as an arrow. Indeed, the gentleman
Irom Kansas leans a little naokward, be
is so straight. Often has it been re
marked by the habitues of the galleries of
the Senate thut it Is remarkable that two
men could associate so long together,
each lighting for the same Issues and
working to the same ends, and look so
much alike in generul physical compo
sition, and be so distinguished, and yet
have so little similarity In general ability.
Neither is the temperament of each of
these great statesmen alike In any de
gree, unless it is possibly In the seeming
receding dispositions, so far as social
qualities are eonoerned. One would
never suspect that Senator Sherman
cared anything for that wbloh wae going
on around him constantly, excepting that
whicUatl'eoled legislation or finance, while
Senator Ingalls sees and hearsevery thing,
aud is one ol the most Inquisitive men one
over saw. Senator Sherman investigates
nothing he sees outside of the oapltol,
one would think from general appear
ances, while Senator Ingalls could not
sec a crying child pass him without slop
ing it aud asking what was the trouble.
Senator Ingalls invariably attends the
circus, and asks all about the funny men
and the trick animals and the queer
people and things in the museum. Sena
tor Sherman does not atteud such places,
and it he did he would look and liaten
and ask no questions. One has great
curiosity and seeks to gratify it, while
the other has no curiosity or is Indiffer
ent about it.
Both these men are exceedingly com
panionable in traveling. 1 have been on
the road with each. Ingalls site quietly
In the car and.tells stories and smokes,
occasionally going about among the pas
sengers and perpetrating pranks upon
strangers, while Sherman gets in one po
sition and remains as steady as possible
until be reaches a station, when ho runs
out and shukus hands with those he
knows. I once attended a Congress in
spection of the Carlisle Indian school,
and ouo of the committee was Mr. Ingalls,
(iuiug übsut the grounds ot the place, an
uxoerienced newspaper reporter could
not have gleaned so much Information by
Interviews as he did- He combines all
the inquisitiveness of both a reporter and
a lawyer, and hesitates to ask nothing,
lie even made inquiries of the Indian
girls about housekeeping and their ideifs
of married life, which were amusing, but
conducive to great information as to tno
real qualities of their instruction. It is
said that Ingalls as 4 lawyer at
his home In Kansas was feared
by all ot his colleagues, be
cause ho invariably sprang some new
trick In plea or testimony, and had so
much genius that there was no way ol
anticipating him. Sherman would stick
to tno books as a lawyer, and essay to
win on superior legal points.
There Is almost ten years’ difference in
the ages or these man. Sherman was
Dorn In Lancaster, 0., and will be 65
years old next May, while Ingalls ttrst
saw tho light of day In Massachusetts,
and will be oh in December. Ingalls has
all the cunning and genius of tho origi
nal Yankee, while Sherman possesses the
sterling qualities of the pioneers of the
West. In debate the first Is the most
caustic and eloqueut in Congress, while
the latter is considered the most con
vincing and accurate. Their dispositions
are as different as day Is from night, and
yet they are the most conspicuous figures
at the capital at this moment. Were they
ever to lock horns in butcr con test on tho
floor of the Senate chamber it would be a
mental contest like the physloal struggle
or tbe lion and the rhinoceros, or the buzz
saw aud the clever.
