HOW ON 12 CLASS OF Til K LONDON POOH LIVK #
It will bo soon by the following extract
from the London I).iiiy Nows that D.ck-
ens sketched from lif? in tho opening
chapters of “Our Mutual Friend.” Tho
News says:
“Mon live by fishing f»r corpse*. The
ghastly trade is at least as protliable an
regular laboa, and a* it unites Miincwlml
of tho excitement of gambling with m t a
little of tho savor of larceny, it is perhaps
not wonderful that to a certain class ot
minda its attractions .-liould be irresintihle.
First, there is the chance ot a reward—
sometimes as much as one hundred pounds
having been offered for the body by the
frionds or legal representatives of tho de
ceased ; secondly, there ia the chum c of
valuables and money being in the dead
person’s pockets; and in tho event of both
these contingencies failing, there is still
tho six shillings puid to the coroner’ and
this, as was pertinently remarked to us,
‘is a good day’s work fur the like of thorn.’
When watch or purse, is found on a body,
for which a reward has not been oflerod.
they are, as a rule, quietly pocketed, and
their late owner put, hack into Iho river,
that ho maybe picked up either by the
police or some*brother professional. That
tho men lollowing this loathsome) calling
ure callous hardened, and brutal, is a mat
ter of course; that they should long for a
crop of well-dressed, ’ richly-appointed
suicides as eagerly as tho sporlsunu nope»
for a good bag is not wonderful ; and that
they aro a* unscrupulous in their dealings
with the dead as they are preserving in
their efforts to capture them may bo taken
as inevitable. The strange and repug
nant calling once known and realized, the
character of its professors may bo easily
conceived.
“Of course, the Thames police take
prompt charge of all the bodies they see,
but tho range ol their duties is wide, the
number of boats and men told off to a pro
scribed number of miles of river compar
atively small, and the re sult is not a un-
profl able opening for the lighterman,
who, half-thief, half-body-.'iiutehcr, turns
his attention and devotes his nights to
looking up and down the river for corpses.
A short time back one of the best known
of tliesu fellows was seen about two a. m.
pulling stealthily in shore, with what
seemed in tho dense mist und darkness to
bo npassonger or follow-laborer silling in
tho stern. .Something in tho uncouth
swinging to and fro of the latter excited
the suspicion of tho police bon* on duty,
and, fearing that a helpless drunkard had
fallen into evil bunds and' would be
robbed and maltreated, the lighterman
was hailed and ordered to pull to. Il was
then scon that the man supposed to bo
drunk was doad. The gear ordinarily
used for towing tho subjects from where
they aro found to Iho nearest wharf in tho
samo parish was out of order, and tho
lighterman had in consequence calmly
reared tho corpse u:» with its back l<* tho
rudder, and in such an altitude that tho
faces of tho living and tho dead men all
but touched each time tho form-r bent
forward to his oar. “Only a still’ ’un,
master, I’m a taking up to Uolherhitbo,”
was sulkily given in reply to tho ques
tions put; after which the speaker was
permitted to pan on, to deposit his prey
und claim his reward in due cmirse.”
that Mr. Oakhcurl’s establishment re
quired that assistance. The old gentlemun
desired to make his son feel that he .-up-
ported himself. At twonty-dvo years of
ago young Oakheart married, receiving
with his wife a moderate sum of money’,
lie want* to purchase a share in his fath
er’s business; they cannot come to terms.
Young John £an make u bettor bargain
with a rival house in the irade. Tho old
man hesitates; ho likes the sound M Oak-
heart & Soil, but business is hu-ice-s.
Had his son marriod a penniless girl the
father would have given him what he m w
refuses to sell; hut now business i.-busi
ness, ami, ns a calculation, lie can’t do il,
So young John becomes chief partner in
a rival firm t » that which ot:a day must
bo his, und trains against tho old man,
whose only sin is to lay up wealth* for iiis
son.
Every day at 4 o’clock, loaning against
a particular corner on 'Change, stand* the
older merchant, his hands deeply sunk
into his dog-eared pocket-. A young city
man approaches; they exchange a quiet,
earolegs nod.
“Feel inclined to discount for TJOO at
longdate?”
“\VhHt security asks old John.
“Turkish ’64.”
“Any names?”
“My own only; it i< a private matter,
and has nothing to do with our house,’’
replied the younger. “I will give I per
cent.”
“1 should want moro than that, as
money goes—say 44.”
“The brokers only ask 41,” replies the
young tnun.
“Then give it.”
And they soparato with an indifferent
nod. That wua father and son.
Every Sunday young John
Discovery of the Mississippi,
Most strange of all the ex| e lit ions was
that of tho discoverer of the U u-i.-.-ippi.
Hordinuml DeSolo left Hispaniola, ac
companied by a numerous band of horse
men, besides infantry. How horses were
stored in small vessels at that period it i.-
diflicult to understand. It is, however, on
record that botwten 2U0 ami GOO cavalry
disembarked in tho iiay of Spirito Santo.
Portuguese volunteer.-, in burnished armor,
and Castilians “very gailaiil with silk upon
silk,’’ joined tho adventurer as soon a-* the
news of his voyage was told. Chains to
bind their captives; bloodhound* to hunt
down the natives; stores of lood, and pigs
which they might turn loom lt« breed in
the woods, woroainongtho munitions with
which tho expedition w«s furnished. Gal •
lant freebooters in quest of lo.lune, men
ferocious withnvaiice bound «<n whatever
path rumor might indicate us leading to
the residence of some wealthy prince, or
wherever tho signs of tho natives were in-
terpnAd to indicate the existence of gold.
The ships which brought tho adventurers
to the Florida shore were sent hack.
“Death oreuccc.-r!" says tho“Portugueso
eye-witness” Then follows a narrative
oi diaisler, leading up to a climax of suf
fering and death. What a romance un**
derlies the formal phrase! of that eye-wit
ness! We get a glimp.-o of terribly mil
jifo. We see tho ad venturers’ dismay at
tlie swamps and forest solitudes. Mosor-
tion of Porcallo, who had lavished liis for
tune in magnificent equipments. Ono
guido after another who tails to load them
to tho golden city, torn to piece* by Mood-
hounds, burnt alive, cruo ly -.aiu in name-
joss ways. Now the passion for play take*
possession of their soul? ; the hot-blooded
Castilian desperadoes quarrel eagerly over
their dice. Now und then a blow—n gleam
of Toledo lapieie in the moonlight, a few
passes, carte, tierce, a stumble or soiiju-
what too wide u parry ol an eager thrust,
a wicked blade leaping in like a tongue ol
llame light over the tardy guard, and
then a shallow grave among the tree roots.
Yet the solemn ceremonies of the Church
were observed in the forest; the ornaments
which tho usages of the Church enjoined
were on every saint's day in procession.

where old Oak heart bus lived for thirty ]
years. His name has been cleaned out of ;
the brass plate on the door. This house
young John still looks upon, and tpeaks
• >f, ns his homo. All tho associations of
childhood aro there—every piece of fur
niture is ail old friend—every object is sa*
erod to his eyes—from his own picture,
taken at four years old, with its chubby
faco and fat legs, to tho smoke-dried pic
ture of Gen. Abercouibie. They form
the architecture of that temple of his
heart—his homo.
After dinner tho ladios have r< tired.
Tho crimson curtains are comfortably
closed. Tho crackling fire glows with
satisfaction, and old John pushes the !> >t-
tlo across to his son, for if old John hu I a
weakness it is for tuwnoy port. “Jack,
my hoy,’’ says he, “what do you want
with 4:1200?”
“Well, sir,” replied John, “there is a
piece of ground next to my villa at lirix-
ton, and they throalen to build upon il—
if so, they will spoil our \lew. Emily,’
meaning hi* wife, “has often bagged me
to buy il and inclose it in our garden
Next Wednesday is her birthday, and 1
wish to gratify her with a furprise; but i
have reconsidorod tho mutter -1 ought
not to iillbrd it—so I have given it up.”
“(Quito right, Jack,” re-|. ,inled the old
man, “it would have been a piece of ex
travagance,” and the subjoi t drops.
Next Wednesday being Emily’s birth
day, the old couple dine with tiie young
folks. Ju.-t before dinner old .John lake*
his daughter-in-law aside, and pbuss in
her hand a parchment—it is tho deed of
the little plot of ground she coveted. He
stop* her thanks with a kiss and hurries
away.
Ere tho ladies retire, Emily find* lime
to whispor the secret to her liu-huml, and
the father and son are alone. W.ilcli tin*
old man’s eyes fixed on tho Hi m, for he
has detected his niece ol allectionalc
