It will he remembered it was a few weeks ago that at man was arrostid iu Hoboketi with ?juite a liumbor of va' hie urticlcs in a basket, and it Wan ciseovcred that bS had got them out of the sewers of Nnsr Vurk. Now many presumed that tlils was a new* business, the like never having been heard of before, yet this is not so. There arc quite a number, most ly Germans, who follow this same busi ness ; but they are very careful not to divulge the same, as it is said they are making an independent fortune. It is a rt-gularly established busiuess in France and Germany, aud in many places they pay so much for tho proceeds of the sewers. It is said that there luve been those who have tried to accustom them selves to the busiuess, bat who wcro un able, in many instances, to endure the unhealthy odor aud poisonous gases. The first trip ever taken by our in former along the sewers of the city wss on Oourtlandt street, in search of a pocket* book that had been lost in the sink of one' of the promiuent hotels on that street, aud which contaiu d $1,350 in money, and drafts and notes to Iho amount of $22,000. The sink had been searched, but all efforts to recover the kalt property wore fruitless j it was evi dent that it had been washed out into the main sewer, and the owner offered tho whole atnutmt of nsonjy iu cash, $1,350, should i; be recovored. Her mann, for as such he was known umoug his associates, concluded to work the street sower that night and sec if it wus possible to find the same. That night, accompanied by two others, he equipped himself in a full rubber suit, a revolver, u hook, a dark lantern, aud a sieve shov el. Descending, at the first opening, which was about a block below tho hotel, he set put on his journey o?j his hands and knoes through the dismal passage way. He had no sooner got well under way, the powerful light from tho dark lantern affording him plenty of light.when he came face to face with ono of the larg est dock rats that he had ever soon. The power of the light seemed to staggor the rat for a moment, when Hermuuu drew his pistol and shot him dead. He then resumed operations, and sifted after mud and filth as he went along. Tho first thing of note that he found was the body of a still-born, about three or four months old. On lifting it, it was so much decomposed that it feij apart. A little further, he picked up a silver watch, with u commo:i cord tied to it, aud it hod ??-ddeolly boon some time iu the sower Keeping 00, pooh picked up tWo ail vor table-spoons, ooc bearing tbu word,''"Jfa-. tionril," and evident 1 y belonging to tho boiol of.Ihn sauieJlaO?,-which ia located oa the wine rttvet; he also picked up trnft of an old silvft'jmi. As he ltiWr the piece of urn hsU2& screwing heavy ngainpt it, which he at .first imagined tu be a piece of hoard ; but when taking it out, to and behold ! it win the identical lost pocket-book. All was fourid mfb within ; hut wet through and through. Being unable to turn iu the sewer, he was: forced to back out; and in a short ' time he was utUhe ??pening, and in * few moments found himself safe on terra fn mu. Returning home, he dried the bills, notes und papers ; and the follow ing nioruing handed over the book and contents to their owucr, who fairly jumped with joy ut their reoovory. When told how it'had been recovered, he could hardly believe it. The $1,350 was paid Over to Hermann, receiving,.bea'des an order for a uew suit of clothes from the ?proprietor of the hotel. . ; The most extended journey ever made by Benin tin wits through Vcsey street sewer to Uroadway, thcnjce to iJurclay, god down Rarcluy to tb0 ^outlet"fit' the river. On Vcsey street ho picked up nituorou^> ?spoons of every description, especially in the vicinity iof the Astor I louse, aud the case of a gold watch, lie also found n"broken brnechtt, a dirk knife, and a j air of gold spectacles. On Broadway he found a neat cross bitided dirk, and on 1 "Jarelay street picked trp over forty dollars in mouoy. Some two years uftef the above jouruoy, be made another tour over the same route, and found n lady's purse containing 8107 iu gold, also an old pocket-book with eighty four ceufs4u'iV * lnJ/ijlttJ Iu the 8prihg of 18G4, he was called upon to recover a heavy gold wedding ,riug, that hud been dropped down a sink by a lady, aud who seemed almost dis tracted over its loss. Money v::.?. no ob? j.?ct if:the ring could be recovered: Tlxo. sink was cleansed, but no ring could be found. ' The'auwer wns accordingly visit cd that night, and after u diligent search of the passage-way leading from the dwelling to the main sewer the rtug was found after nearly two hours' hard work. Ho was made a present of i'L'wd for bis trouble, besides what was awarded his associates. During the tcu years that Hermann followed the above life, be states that, ut times, be'found over 300 still-born in fants iu the various sewers of the city. As a general thing, he would bring them out at the opening ut the river, and would receive n certain amount from the Coronets for such bodies, while they would be a benefit to the Coroner finan cially for holding au. inquest on the same The press seldom took notice of such trifling cases. In fuct it was very rare that publicity wus given to any of them. Chambers sttcct, he states, was the great est on rc^ctd for finding still-born in fants. He never visited it but he was sure to come across oue or two, and some times as many ns five or six. Tho ouly reason ho nccounts for there being so many on the above street was that there was located iu that street one of Iho most noted abortionists ever kuown in this country, and in Whose house hundreds and hundreds of females boVo becu operated on, and abortions produced. The sink was, of course, used to carry off and concoal that which would have once been a human being. The woman who then occupied tho building now re sides in one of the most costly mauaions on Fifth Avenue, where she carries on tho same business, but only caters for thoso of wealth, and who can pay her the highest prices for her services. Any pleasutit afternoon she can he seen riding out oti Central Park iu her carriage, and often accompanied by some delicate young woman who has been a victim to her hellish pructice. One night Hermann detortuind to make a tour from rivor to river. He en tered one of the large sewers on the North River side nud came out at the mouth of Maiden Lane sewer ; at one place he came in contact with hot stoum from a boiler, but it being Sunday, it did not amount td much, and ho passed it with little or no trouble. During tho journey he found any quantity of things - ----.ji>...ns without number, a silver cup, two rings, a liquor flask, a new pocket book, empty, a bundlo of lawyer's pa pers, a necklace, and any number of pieces of coin.?Nine York 8nntlau Ma - ' f'fy.

"Wc Want?we want !" muttered the husband; ??there's no satisfying woman's wants do what you may," and he abrupt ly left the room. How many husbands uro in a similar dilemma! How many houses and hus bands arc rendered uncomfortable by the constant dissatisfaction of a wife with presont comforts and present provisious !

He fouud a pretty young wo man sick, with slight disease, but labor ing under that terrible malady consump tion A ft er the doctor had proscribed for her she manifested a desire to talk, and seemed anxious to disclose to him her history. He gratified her, and she told him she came from-County, iu the inferior of the State. She had loved, not wisely,' but too well, was betrayed, and then abandoned by the man to whom she gave the lust proof of her af fection. Overwhelmed with shame and remorse, she came to Richmond, and entered one of those houses which very few, once having entered, ever leave but for the grave. Her health was failing; she ar dently longed to leave the life she was ! following, and appealed to the doctor to try to lind her u home clsewhero. She was willing to do the most menial work if she could get a home with respectable .people; to go anywhere, or do anything, to be. taken away from the companions and scenes of the life she was loading. Tho doctor, wns, !ialipr'*toi j" her, and with that true benevolence which eharc terizes the profession, exerted himself to comply with her request. He related the circumstance's' to a professional bro ther, aud the two^ueeoododln i'?'ttins her a homo with a roor widow lady, in< the suburbs of the city, upon the coqdi lion that when she was able she was to usaist -iiLtbiUiuck of.tibjtt household, ppd wheu she was not, that the doctors were to pay her board.
