OLD LONDON PICTUBED.

COMPAI
TODAY
WITH THE CITY OF
AS A SORRY SIGHT.
Its Rous.. Were Dwarf?, Squalid Struct
ures .ml Ussiljr Pulled Down—The Cll-
m.tc T W«» Colder anil More Un-
be*rafr»u—Famine and Pestilence.
Who can rebuild before the eye of the
mind n single ordinary dwelling of the
vanished London of the middle of the
Thirteenth century? It was a dwarfish,
squalid structure of inch crazy unsub-
stantiality that, with a stont iron crook
and two strong cords, provided by the
ward, it migb be pnlled down and
dragged off speedily in case of fire: a
structure of one story jutting over a
low ground floor, with another jnt of
eaves above, its roof perchance engrailed
with gables, its front bearing an odd re
semblance to the back of a conple of
huge stairs, and the whole a most rick,
ety, tumbledown, top heavy, fantastical
thing. Chimneys were fairly in vogue
then, so it had them—squat, square,
wide mouthed, faced with white plaster,
red tiles or gray pebble work.
Red tiles covered its roof. Its walls
were rough planed planks or a wooden
framework filled with a composite of
straw and clay, buttressed with posts
and crossed this way and that with snp
porting beams, the whole daubed over
with whitewash, of which the weather
soon made graywash. (n front was a
stairway—sometimes covered, sometimes
not—or a stepiadder set slantwise against
the wail for an entrance to the upper
story.
The doorways were narrow and low,
the windows also, and the latter, dark
ened with overbrows of wooden shut
ters, propped np from beneath and
sticking ont like long, slender awnings,
were farther darkened by sashes of
parchment, linen or thin shaved born,
for glass came from Flanders, and was
costly and rare.
ROMANTIC BUILDING.
Snch. joint and seam and tile being
loosene4 into crack and cranny and crev
ice everywhere, was the dwelling of the
London citizen as the eye might see it in
the middle of the Thirteenth centnry.
Multiply that dwelling into a tortuous
and broken perspectiveof like buildings,
some joined by party walls, some with
spaces between, all pent roofed or gable
peaked, heavy eaved, stnb chimneyed,
narrow latticed, awning shuttered, stair
cased, post buttressed, beam crossed,
dusky red roofed, dingy white walled,
and low nnder the overhanging rnstness
of the sky, and yon hare an ancient Lon
don street, which shall be foni and nar
row, with open drains, footways rongbly
flagged and horseway deep with slnsby
mire, overetrewn with ashes, shards and
offal, and smelling abominably
There were indeed at that period,
thinly interspersed here and there,
houses of somewhat better description,
solidly bnilt of stone and timber, thuugb
at best strangely' deficient in comfort
and convenience, according to the fash
ion of that most inconvenient and an-
comfortable age. Hero and there, too,
for thaw were the times of the feudal
soldier and priest, rose in dreadful beau
teous contrast with the squalid city
the architectural grandeur of church
r.ad cathedral, or tho stately house or
palace of bishop or earl. Bat all around
stretched dwellings which onr poorest
modern bonse excels, and on those
dwellings all evils and discomforts that
can befall had their quarry.
Light came dim and sunshine dimly
glimmering into their darkened rooms.
Sommer heats mode ovens of them. The
old gray family of London fogs rose
from tho marshes north of the city walls,
from the city’s intersecting rivnlets,
from the Thame* below, and crept in at
every opening to make all dark and chill
within. Down their squat chimneys
■wept the smoke, choking and blinding.
Rains snch as even rainy Englnnd knows
sot now soaked them through for weeks
together.
| A TERRIBLE PICTURE.
- Cold snch aa English winters have for
gotten now pierced with griping blast
and silent sifting snow to their shiver
ing inmates. Foul exhalations from the
filthy streets hnng nronnd them an air
of poison, or rising from the cesspools,
of which every honse had one within,
discharged themselves In deadly mala
dies. Lightnings stabbed their roofs or
rent their walls, hnnting for those they
sheltered. Conflagration, larking in a
spark, npspread iu dragoonish flame and
roared through them devouring.
Whirlwind swept through them howl
ing, and tossed them dowu by fifties.
Pestilence breathed through them in re
curring seasons, and left their rooms
agbqst with corpses. Civic right or in
testine war stormed often near them and
brought them death and sorrow. Fam
ine arose every few years and walked
through them on his way to England,
leaving their tenants lean and pale, or
lifeless Often into them broke the
midnight robber, singly or in gangs:
often to them cpme the gatherer of
taxes or of tithes; upon them bang per
petually all the bloodsuckers, every
vampire which an age of ignorance and
tyranny coaid spawn, and in them
herded fiendish bigotries, crazy tnper-
stltions. Brutish illiteracy, and all that
darkens and depraves the sonL
For that Was the mournful midnight
of oar mortal life centuries ago The
old, sod stare that governed onr con
dition* still kept their forceful station
abova the brawl or brutal and internal
dreams; and one alone, now risen from
Ueber’s east, bnng dewy bright with the
world’s hope and promise, while science,
builder of life that is holy,. beautiful
and gay, was Ont a wondrons new born
child in Roger Bacon's cell, dreaming of
things to come. —Atlantic Monthly.
The Laborer Should Be Bonoied.
Tho real dignity of labor is well sym
bolized and set forth In those single acts
at the beginning or end of a great work
which represent to the imagination the
whole enterprise.
The corner stone of a great building is
generally laid by some official digni
tary who, in an unaccustomed apron
and with a trowel which he uses clum
sily, makes a pretense of doing the actual
work of patting the stone In place.
Crowds stand uhont to witness the work,
and orations are tnado and hymns snng.
The knocking away or the prop which
sends a vessel off the ways and into the
water is an event of eqaal consequence
and interest, because it represents the
noble task of constructing a great ship
When one of the greatest engineering
works of all time was completed—the
construction of the Pacific railroad—it
was regarded as a great honor to drive
the last spike that bonnd the last rail to
the earth: and the spike which served at
least temporarily for the work was
made of silver.
Emperors, kings and presidents start
with their own hands the machinery of
great industrial exhibitions, themselves
typical in a high degree of the import
ance of manual labor.
In a certain sense it tvonld be more
fitting that these ceremonies, which con
centrate into a single instant's act long
periods of hunl labor, should be per
formed by one of the real workingmen
who are engaged upon the enterprise. It
is they who do the work, and they might
well claim that the honor of the key
ceremony belongs to them.
This was what was done, indeed, when
the first blow of the pick was struck in
the construction of the bnildings for the
World's fairof 1893 at Chicago.—Youth’s
Companion.
Where Gold Goes To,
A considerable part of all the gold
which goefto India never returns. Hav
ing been obtained in the west by the sale
of exported productions, it is retained in
the east ns realized profits, wealth stored
np, and to a moderate extent for nse in
the arts, for the rest as a representative
of value on the credit of which traders
bny and sell with the bills of exchange
they issue and the book credits they
open, and settle up the differences with
the silver money of the country.
But the vast stock of gold accumulated
there undergoes no diminution. There
is no ebb and flow under the reciprocal
action which commerce enforces in the
case of countries trading together on a
common metallic basis. The three mill
ions sterling (or thereabout) of gold bnll-
ion which India anuunlly adds to her
store are, nnder the monetary law of
that country, just as much lost to the
nations of the west, by being with
drawn from the general commerce of the
world, as if the money bad been lent to
a Sontb American republic.
Between the years 1835 and 1889
(April) this depletion amounted in value
to £130,293.758. Between that date and
the month of September, 1890, a further
accumulation, to the valne of £5,009,-
272, took place, bringing this portion of
the gold treasure of Indin Up to a valno
exceeding £135,250,000. — Blackwood's
Magazine.

I cannot recollect having ever met a
man of more peculiarly striking appear
ance than Mr. tbsen. He reminded me
to a certain extent of those fabulous,
creatures the gnomes, who play sncli an
important part in Scandinavian myth
ology, and are vividly described in the
old songs of the Edda. He is a man of
less than medium size, bnt very heavily
set. The npper part of his body is very
large in proportion to Ills lower limbs,
bnt still small in comparison with that
immense bead, which, with its bashy
hair, white os snow, overtowers the
compact bodily frame.
A heavy beard of tbe same color wonld
encircle the face if it was not for tbe fact
that tbsen keeps his chin shaven, a dis
tinction also enjoyed by tho npper lip.
1 wonder if Mr. Ibsen knows that by
wearing his beard in the manner de
scribed he shows a very strong chin and
mouth of classic delineation. Irresist
ible is tho chann of his eyes, which are
of a deep bine, like the color of the sea
on tho shores of Ills beautiful native
north land.—Louisville Courier-Journal.

A Glance »t London Society.
Take the vust London society. It is a
stiffnecked dress parade in which one
meets one's best friend once a fortnight
and strangers in proportion. People
never know each other well and are al
most suspicions of those they do know.
Invitations are sent out from 0110 to two
months ahead and peoplo cumo and go
without making a visiblo impression, and
there Is none of that merry familiarity
which makes American life so enjoy
able.
A dinner is a set affair, with no gen
eral conversation and a total absence of
what tho French call esprit; in fact,
most of the Englishman's pleasures are
of the macintosh and umbrella kind.
The Londoner is always guarded and

wonder, considering sotno of the Ameri
cans he has bad shoved upon him. But,
after all, there are too many people in
Loudon; it is impossible to expect free
dom, familiarity and hospitality among
such a multitude.—Cor. Chicago Newa
