SLOT HEWS. glimpses of. the life of the IyONDON SWEEPS. Beings Whoso Black Exterior Serves to Attract the Sun’s ‘Warmth—Notes of Other Humble Workers. jty 0 m the Philadelphia Record. London. April — It was my literary task Jjst week to toll you “summat” of London’s Kadows. Let me toll you to-day a little of ire sunshine; That beautiful poem by our jtp-ent Trowbridge, entitled “The Charcoal Bwoq.-’ cau bo well appreciated in London. !H)s cry is one of the most peculiar cries in 1 streets. It is like the notes of some bird. The unpoetic -w ord “charcoal” lingers from his lips in thrilling cadences on tie air. He travels about the streets, gen terallv with a donkey-cart, the latter being filled with his sacks of charcoal and coke. He sells more of the latter, coke being a great favorite in the fuel line with the thrif ’ ty British housewife, who thus ekes out her Scullery fires. The “scullery,’’ by the way, is nothing more nor less than the back kitchen. In it is built “the copper,” or, to interpret for American understanding, th<- stone stationary clothes-boiling ma chiae. A fire is made under this primitive 1 boiler, iu which the family washing goes through its particular purifying process on i the general wash-day, which is once in two weeks. Stationary tubs, as we have them in America, unless they may be built in a few modern fiats, are in England an un known luxury. But “the copper” is a time honored convenience. All the odds and ends are consumed to keep the fire underneath well going. Cinders carefully saved during the week, with coke and sometimes char coal, help to make a hot, quick fire. CHEERY, DESPITE HIS BLACK LOOKS. The “charcoal man” is always black of complexion, that is, soot-colored. One wonders if on Sundays or special holidays he comes out as white as his neighbors, or if the blackness becomes “grimed iu” through its daily layers. The “charcoal man” wears a big hat, and boots coining over, his trous ers to his knees. In all sorts of weather he travels the streets. He picks up a deal of information one way and another, and there is an unspoken, unwritten law of courtesy which compels one at intervals to ask the “charcoal man” if he will “have a glass of beerl” Needless to say his answer is always in the affirmative. He belongs to London’s “sunshine,” despite his grimy face, because his heart is cheery, his speech pleasant and his work honest. SWEEPS OF THE PAST AND PRESENT. Some of his relatives are pretty sure to be “sweeps.” Briefly I’ve alluded to them heretofore. Years ago young lads, appren tices of the sweep, often a young son or brother, were sent up the chimney to sweep it Out, clinging to the hooks inside. Several horrible accidents occurred, however, mid the majesty of the law stopped in, forbidding such risks'in future. Poor little lads, it must have been rather lonesome and black, those ascents up the wide soot-incrusted chimneys. I dare say much exaggeration may be traced in the tales of cruelties prac ticed on young sweeps, but perhaps it was the stories of these cruelties which served to change the law in their behalf. Nowadays, instead of the nimble-footed lad, the sweep sends up the chimney a species of telescope brush, lengthening itself out at pleasure. The bristles part of the brush is made like a hugeroiuid ball, so as to brash the soot from all sides. Hence, instead of a boy’s head emerging from the top of the chimney, the brush appears, looking certainly most odd and uncanny in the dim light of early dawn. For, naturally, chimney sweeping mast be done before "the fires are arranged tor the day. IIOW A CHIMNEY IS SWEPT. First the brush handle is inserted in the end of a long tube, as long as may bo handled conveniently, and pushed up the chimney, ns I have said, telescope-wise. That end is again inserted in a second tube like stick and so on.the brush being plied in all directions as it makes its ascent to the top. The “sweep” before beginning operations covers the fire-place over the mantel, etc., with a bagging curtain. The soot settles to the bottom, the grates being removed. Alter the work is done the soot is gathered up m the receiving bag, and later on sold to chemists for various uses. The English bituminous coal makes enormous quantities of soot during the year, so the “sweep” tares well, the soot being his perquisite. J U ' 6< l broader chimney places, and the law did not forbid the boys ascend ing the same, the togs of falling soot were the sweep s only pay. Now' he gets so much per chimney in money, added to the soot. V 1?! SUm ran £ es from si xpenee each up to a shilling. Once in every three months the local or parish law compels the housekeeper to have his chimneys swept. Neglecting k re ls of the chimneys getting aniv by reason of these incrutiations arising, because we sit beside our cheery file kept roaring up the chimneys. SINGING THROUGH THE STREETS. The “sweep” has a cry between a growl “ and 1111 , exclamation. “Sweep! sweep, Xf 6 ?’ “dov!” he announces in his tom-of inf “eetoL homeward after his early morn n.,’,. , never calls out while on his „-- v . , t 0 w °i‘k.

There fore “a steady sw-eeps” was, to my mind, a new addition to my staff of helpers. Like Ids class he did a deal of talking all about nothing. ALL ON ACCOUNT OF A STRAINER. In the end 1 •discovered that while at his work in the rooming he had, without his knowledge, carried away a wire tea strainer in the soot, where it had dropped on the stone hearth of the kitchen, mine or some other laxly’s. The strainer was worth, if new, about a penny, and having seen hard service it was not then worth a quarter of that modest sum. “Oi didn’t go to prig it missus, no fear,” he urged me solemnly, so Oi’ve been tramping round the whole blessed parish to all ray ‘steadys’ to find out where this ’ere strainer is a inissin’.” Truth to tell I had no idea whether it was mine or not, but I gave him a couple of pence to buy the usual “glass of beer” if he liked, and re tained the strainer for further consultation with the feminine head of my regions below stairs. Eventually I found it was mine, having been thrown away weeks before on the fire, whence it had slipped through to the hwith.-*Xtall the story as a proof of honesty in a liumDT?*'rt|B(!i, who was so con scientious he took the two ’“^kiHfe-d'iilv..with urging. “Only to drink your health not for the strainer moind.” The strainer he had carefully rolled up in his handker chief, which bit of cloth was as black as its owner. A FAMILY OF WORKERS. The sweep keeps in the same line of busi lioss all his life and brings up his children to the same line. His wife goes “a charring.” The char-woman is essentially an English institution. “Choring” was probably the word at first, and it has become “charring” by use, for the doing of odd chores is her business. She will come to you for an hour, two hours or a day, and you pay her accordingly. She makes fires, cooks your breakfast, washes up dishes or scrubs. Asa rule she is fairly competent, and she keeps her regular round of places year in and year out, only stopping to at tend to the calls of her maternity. At these wifely periods a “mate” or friend of hers takes her places so that she may not lose them. You pay the char-woman from one and six to two shillings a day and her “keep,” or, to translate, her meals. Odd hours you pay six pence or a shilling for.ac cording to the way in which you arrange matters with her, and generally you bestow on her the broken pieces,” as they call the “cold victuals” in England. THE JOLLY DUSTMAN. Another grayish bit of sunshine comas in the door as I write of the char woman and goes round to the back yard. This is the “dust-hoy” man. He goes to the wooden dust bin in the yard, which is filled with your accumulations of ashes, cinders and like burnt trash, but not decayed vegetables. The “dustman” is gray, not black, of up pearauee. He wears leather pieces strapped oyer his knees, and a sort .of tarpaulin coat, with a weather-beaten leather hat. He gets the ashes and two pence, or the tradi tional “glass of beer” as you prefer. The ashes he sells to the manufacturers who use them in their wares. He is gi merry soul, always joking the housemaids. When you want him you place in your front kitchen a pasteboard card, on which is printed the mystic word “Dust,” or a single “D,” mean ing that the bin is full and you need the ser vice of his example of London’s human sun shine. Annie Wakem an. WANTED, ONE DOOR BELL. The Tribulations of an Army Quarter master in Washington. From the San Francisco Examiner. Gen. Bingham, before the era of cen tralization at Washington, was a rnan.of , considerable authority in his department. His will was law. Indeed, so much so was the case, it was felt that the tone of his authority was almost oppressive. Now, it fell out on a certain day that the General’s quarters became in need of a door bell. There was nothing peculiar about the bell. It was not ail electric bell. It was the ordi nary domestic article with the usual wire attachment. But such as it was, the General wanted it badly, and consequently he made a requisition on the quarter master. Before the ruling the quartermaster would have no difficulty in putting the maison Bingham right before the world and so ciety. He would simply order the utensils at the nearest hardware shop. But now all he could do was to send the requisition on to the quartermaster of the department, with an indorsement that Gen. Bingham needed a door bell, and that in his opinion a special emergency hail arisen. It naturally took some time for the indorsement to get to the attention of the department quartermaster,, who had other things to t hink of beside Gen. Bingham’s linger, but, no doubt out of consideration of Gen. Bingham’s exalted rank and long services to the country, the department offi cials got down to the item earlier than usual. With the department quarter master’s indorsement the requisition was for warded to the division quartermaster, and from there went by mail to Washing ton. But even in Washington they have some thing else to (lo except to provide door bells for officers’ quarters. And by this time Gen. Bingham was in dreadful suspense. He might have bought the door bell himself, but he was obstinate. He was determined the government should buy it, or he would know the reason Why. So, all day long, while a countless throng of visitors exer cised themselves fruitlessly at the General’s front door, like Achilles in his tent ho sat and brooded over the cruelty of the authori ties in Washington. Finally, after much correspondence, the news came that the requisition, laden down with indorsements, was slowly making its way back to the Pacific coast. The request of Gen. Bingham had been graciously grauted. In due time the document arrived at the Division of the Pacific and was re ferred with the appropriate indorsement to tlie Department of tne Pacific across tho hall, again indorsed and referred took to the quartermaster of the post from which it hail originally proceeded. The quartermaster looked with interest upon the time-worn puperand heaved n sigh of relief. He immediately advertised in the daily papers that bids were open for one door bell of standard quality and confi dently assured the General tint once more the door toll of his home would cheerfully announce the glad approach of visitors and friends. But the end was not yot. Both the Gen eral and the quartermaster were doomed to disappointment. The advertising had boon profuse, but no wholesale or retail hard iviu'o man could lie found who would take the trouble to put. in a hid for one door bell. What was to Ist done! If there were no bids there wouldl<e n> door Ik>ll. Finally a, brilliant thought struck the ingenious quartermaster. He would appeal,, not to tiu 1 interests, but to the patriotism of the town. Ho with groat humility he ap prouched a haughty magnate of the hard ware trade and laid his piteous tale lie foi’e him. Explaining uis dilemma he lhutlly induced him to put in a bid for the door im‘ll. History is silent on the price of the door lsell, lint very ui -ertivc as to the fact that it was ullotted. with due regard to law, by contract and to the highest bidder.

APRIL 22, 1887. WILD MAN OF THE WOODS. The Sad History of Old Abiel Williams, of Raynliam. From the Boston Herald. Middleboro, Mass., April 17.—Just over the Bristol county line, between Middleboro and Taunton, or to to more definite, between Squambetty and Tarryall villages, from time to time for yeai-s oast, strangers, riding or walking along the Raynhu.ni road, have been seen to suddenly emerge from the long, lonely roadway, thick studded with over hanging pines and oaks, driving frantically or wildly running, with faces white with terror, and ever and anon turning to see if some unseen, butevidently most formidable foe, whom they had met hi the forest, was still in pursuit. Residents in the vicinity understand such cases at sight, and kuow how to treat them, having had experience in similar eases of fright from passers-by in the Raynliam woods during many years. The customary greeting a stranger receives who is seen fleeing from this forest road with all the terrors that death is in pursuit is as follows: “Oh, we know what Is the matter. Don't stop to explain. You have seen the wild man of the woods. We knew as soon as wo mtiw-y ai coming down the road.” A jwho was recently driving along thislonely rood gives this account of the strangest sight, he says, to ever saw: “It was a pleasant day, and seated on my cart I was jogging along little dimming of anything unusual to happen. For a mile or more there is not a single” house, and the roadway is little better than a narrow cart path a portion of the way. 1 had got about the middle of the woods, when all nt once the horse stopped, snorted, reared, and I looked up. “At the edge of the road, near the low fence, I saw a sight that scared me übout out of my senses. I never was so badly scared before or since. At first glance the object appeared to be a wild, unnatural looking animal, standing on its hind legs, but looking closer it seemed, all the more horrible to me, to be a kind of half man, half beast. “The head was small, with a dried, pinched-up, apish-looking face, with a fierce, rolling, eye, and a long, shaggy mane of snow-white hair. A short, white* cotton cloth seemed to be loose.lv thrown around the waist of the body, and the whole body, with this exception, was exposed. The skin was dark-brown, resembling sole leather as much as anything in appearance. “I was struck motionless for a few min utes at the wild sight, but the horse started off directly on a run, seeming as scared as I was. I got strength enough together to urge the horse on, and we were soon out of the woods and driving into a dooryard, where the folks told me what it was that scared me so, and relieved my agony. For I did think I had struck THE OLD BOY HIMSELF FOR AWHILE.” The wild man of the Raynliam woods, that lias frightefted many others, as ho did this peddler, but never harmed them, and is still the terror of children and timid women, is a harmless insane person who is allowed to roam the woods without restriction, more to his own great danger of being shot by sportsmen in mistake for an unknown wild beast than to the danger of any who may chance to meet him, as he has never been known to harm any one. In fact, he has harmed himself when attempts have been made to keep him confined, and so he is al lowed to roam. The wild man of the woods is an object more of pity than of idle curiosity, and his condition is seldom spoken of in other than in words of respect for the mind that once, long years ago, before sorrow and grief drove him to insanity, shone resplendent where now nothing remains but a wrecked intellect. Idle children and thoughtless strangers sometimes annoy this curious creature that knows scarcely enough now to resent when it is encroached upon. He lives in a sand hut adjoining the house where relatives reside, who look to his needs so far as they are able, performing theso duties year after year without complaint, ar.d ministering to their afflicted brother with all patience and fortitude. He lives much in the open air, having a fondness for pure air, the woods, and close communion with mother earth itself. At times he will speak words of partial in telligence, but quickly goes off into an un meaning and grotesque babble, anil his ap pearance and conduct would make him a leading curiosity in a curio hall, but his rela tives are people of means. No stranger can obtain a glimpse of him if his friends can in any way prevent, and, after long experi ence with such, they have succeeded in usually preventing such an occurrence. The wild man of the woods cannot or will not look a person in the eye. It is impossi ble to. catch his eye, his relatives say in speaking of liis peculiar habits. Sometimes, in a brief moment of partial rationalism, he has taken a mirror, and, after looking at the reflection iu the glass, has asked what is the matter with his eye. The history of the wild man of the woods is a most interesting one, and is at the tongue’s end of almost any resident when pressed to relate it. Abiel Williams, of Raynliam, <jO years ago, was a young man of more than ordi nary promise. A bright, good-natured youth, studious and energetic, with an am bition that was abnormal. Son of well-to do and doting parents, he was helped along by their aid to young manhood in lines that were pleasant. When he resolved to become a professional man, and with all his young ardor entered into the preparations for a collegiate course of study and training in a medical school, he was bid godspeed in his lofty undertaking and firm resolve to become a light in that profession. He ENTERED UNION COLLEGE, Schenectady, If. Y., and, studying night and day, graduated in 16410 with high hon ors. tVsd.p' 'T| ’■ ' Returning home to Raynham, he con cluded to commence business in Taunton, and accordingly opened an office iu that place.

It came at tn*t *ifothh fopn of a severe case of scarlet fever.’ Two little children, cousins of the handsome young doctor, were taken suddenly ill of the dread wii lease, and the new doctor was called iint*>trout for the children. All eyes thakjjpn jgatched the career of the young man were now upon him, and he entered with ail Ins might into the task of curing his sick little cousins, uml winning his spurs as a physician at his home. The children grew rapidly worse. The young doctor’s efforts six-mcd of no avail. For hours the children hung between life and death. Ho did his utmost, and in de spair said that if he could not. save them it would turn his brain The lit tle lives went but dually, and the young doctor's (list attempt to save his own kin hud proved fruitles*.
