Jost are sure to .-etile ere they can be
carried out into the river. 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

J "Thi? ai<pW?nt V exclaimed a yonpg
hm band, taking liftt*lMfc the rockiug
ch: ir aa the supper things were removed.,
Thi fire glowing iu tho grate, revealed a
pretty aud neatly furnished sitting room
j witli all the appliances of comfort. . The
fatiguing business of tho day was .oy.e?,
and he sat enjoying what he had all day
1 been anticipating, the delights of his own
fireside. His pretty wife, Esther, took
her work and sat down by the ta
ble. ae u . . . .
? "It is pleasant to bnve a home of one's
own," he again said, taking a satisfacto
ry survey of his little quarters. The;
cold rain beat against the windows, nnd
he thought ho felt really grateful for all
his present comforts.
"Now if we only had a piano," ex
claimed the wife.
"Give mo t he music of your own sweet
voice before all tho pianos in creation,"
ho observed complimentary; hut he felt
?a certain secret disappointment that his
vife's thnnkfullness did w t happily
chime with his own.
'?Well we want one for pur friends,"
?aid Esther.
"Let our friends come to see ?*, and
not to hear a piano," exclaimed the hus
band. ,
' "But, George, ovorybody has a piano
nowadays?we dou't go. anywhere with
out seeing a piano," persisted the wife.
"And yet 1 don't know what we want
rone for?you will havo no timo to play
on one, and I don't want to hear iL"
"Why, they are so fashionable?I
think our room looks nearly naked with
out one."
"I think it looks just right." .
"I think it looks very naked?wo
waut a piano shockingly," protested
Esther emphatically.
The husband rocked violently
' Your lamp mokes, my dear," said
he after a long piuse.
. 'WIidii Hi' j?? going to.-gni a-omu
phenu lamp ? I have told yon a dozen
times how much we need one," said
Esther, pettishly.
??'i hose aro very pretty lamps?I uavcr
can sec by a cauiphouc lump," said her
husbadd. "Those lamps arc the pret
tiest of the kind I ever saw."
"But, George, I do not think our room
is complete without u campheao lamp,"
said Ehthor, shnrply. "They are so
fashionable! Why, the Morgans und
Millers, and many others I might men
tion, all have them; 1 am sure wu ought
to."
"We ought ont to take pattern by
other peoples oxpCiMC?) und I don't see
any reason in that."
The husband moved uneasily in his
chair.
"\\ c want to live as well as others,"
*aid Esther.
"We want to live within our means,
l?sthcr," exclaimed George,
"I am sure we oan afford it as wcH as
the Morgans, und Millers and Thorns;
we do not wish to appear mean*"
(ieorge'scheek eriihsoned.
"Mean! I urn not mean!" be cried
angrily.
"Then wo do not wish to tippenr so,"
said the wife. "To complete this room,
and make it look like other people's, we
want u piano and campheno lamps."
"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 !
How many bright prospects for business
have ended in bankruptcy and ruin iu
order to satisfy this secret hankering af
ter fashionable necessaries ! Could the
real cause of many fuilures be known, it
would be found to result from useless ex
penditures at homo?expenses to auswer
the demands of fashion and "what will
people think ?"
"My wife has mado my fortune," said
a gout lemon of great possessions, "by
her thrift, and prudence, aud cheerful
ness, when I was just beginning."
"And mine has lost my fortune," an
swered his companion, "by useless ex
extravagance and repining when I was
doiug well."
What a world does this open to the
influence which a wife possesses over the
future prosperity of her family! Lot
the wife know her iuflueuco and try to
use it wisely and woii.

Stu : Captain T. Morris Chester, lut.
of the Uuited Stub*] Volunteer Army,
Leiu^ l-i St. Poioratlrrjrrc&iain^ well ru
communded by distinguished citizens of
the United States, and being also well
educated, and of good address, I er"
upon tho Minister of Foreign ArfuiuSj
and told him that I would not apply in
the usu.il way by note to have Captaiu
Cheater, a colored American citizen, pre
sented to bis Imperial Majesty, as there
was no precedent, aud 1 did uot know
how his Imperial Majesty would bo dis
posed to net, but I desired that he would
approach his Imperial Majesty iu an in
formal way, and ascertain his w.ishes iu
this regard. Tho Assistant Minister ol
Foreign Amiirv'Mr. De Westntunu, ac
quiesced iu the proposal, aud in a few
days wrote uic that the ^Emperor had
given orders to have Captain Chester's
name put upon the' list for the first pre
sentation. To-day, being the occasion of
a grand review of "the Imperial (iuard,
the Emperor sent au invitation to Cup
lain Chester to assiht in the roview,
which he did, riding around with his
Imperial Majesty's stuff, and faking
lunch nt ?he winter palace with the stall
officers; and a portion of the Imperial
fumilj, who accompanied the Emperor
at the lunch.
I have made these facts known to yon,
as I regard the uffuirof some importance.
We have four millions of colored citi
zens ; they arc with us. and of us, for
good as evil. 1 think' it is the duty of
all good citizens to try and elevate the
African race iu America, and inspire
them with all possible self-respect, and
prepare them for that ultimate influence
which they must sooner or later have
upon the political and economical inte
rests of the United "Slates. '1 heso arc
the views which have influenced my ac
tion iu this ease, which, uot partisan iu
their character, I should hope would be
satisfactory to all patriotic American*.
Having, however, discharged my duty,
as I over do, without regard to personal
considerations, I submit my action frank

A poor man came to a minister and
begged to be unmarried. Tho minister
assured him that it was out of the ques
tion, and urged him to put away the no
tion of anything so absurd. The man
insisted that the marriago could not hold
good, for tho wife was worse than the
devil. The minister demurred, saying,
that was quite impossible. "No,"said
the poor man, "tho Bible tells ye, that
if ye resist th* devil, he flees from y? j but
if ye rcfiist her, sho flees, at ye."
Asleep In Jesus.
A TOUCHING INCIDENT OF THE LATM WAR
In a secluded spot iu Hollywood, not
fur- from the bunks of the river, is the
grave of ft yoVt?g w?mah, ut the head of
which is a'HeTTC'Wffrbfij shfb, ?ti which is
inscribed the hniue of the deceased and
three verses of the beautifuraiyWtf'dbn* 1
monctng with the line "Asleep in Jesus."
It has au interesting history: One day.
during the war a physician was sent lor
tO ja house of ,ill-fuuie to see one of its
inmates. 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.
She went to her new home, grateful
aud almost happy. She worked when
.-he could, but was almost always sick.
After having been with the widow lady
u mouth or two, she professed conversion.
11 er health steadily declined, und one
day when the doctor went to see her, she
said to him: "Doctor, 1 know I have
not long to live, aud do not suppose
whou 1 die any one will think of put
ting u monument over the grave of a
pour castaway like myself; but if there
is anything done to mark my grave L
should liko to have ouQVOrse, if no more,
of the beautiful hymn. 'Asleep in Jesus,'
&e., over tho spot iu which my body lice.
It is a bciutiful hymn, so consoling, and
sounds to me so much like peace atd
rest." She lingered a lew weeks longer
and died. Her death was peaceful uud
triumphant. Her body was laid in a
quiet spot in the beautiful cemetery, and
the doctor who bad been her true friend
in life saw that her last request was
complied with. A neat marble slab was
erected ut her head, and three verses of
the hymn she loved so well murk the
spot where the repentant Magdalen lies.

The curtain fell, and after a pause, rose
again, displaying to tho astonished look

rocking-horse, with his head in tho con

not do, for the "deal horse" waj as steady

scene was a portly gentleman of middle

said "Doctor, I am glad to moct you."
