Hat even there we get but little idr:i
of the resisting power of the human
body. There are deeper depths than
these, and into them plunged the in
quisitive seiibe, intent on obsera
lion of per-piratn.n. And he found it.
There are three kind. of metropoli
tan endurance which may be of inter
est to the patriotic reader the Celtic,
the Teutonic, and the Italian. In Cros
by street, nut far from the corner of
1'rince street, and further down town
toward the classic Tcmbs, is a, colony
of Italians. Their industrial pursuits
are divided into active search for rags
in barrels, box.'s. streets, and putters,
and the twirl of the organ handle, to
gether with the drill of tho reluctant
monkey. In every home, rickety,
tumbledown, dirty, and insecure, live
a score of families, a family consisting
of pa, in i, live to nine children, one to
three organs and one monkey on an
average. Ocasshmally there is a fami
ly in suHieiently good pecuniary condi
tion to permit of their occupying an
entire story, but such instances are
rate. From 8 o'clock until after 12
these persons congregate on the stoops,
on the sidewalks, perched on cares, in
wagons, on ash-barrels, under the
steps, and in the windows.
At half j ast 11 last evening, as the
sweat stood in beads on the face of the
writer, whose only exertion consisted
in pulling a deodorizing cigar, an Ital
ion with his wife approached one of
the Crosby street house.?. On his back
was slung a hand organ ; in his arms
slept a venerable monkey, lie bent
beneath his load, and damned the
weather in low Italian. His wife wore
a yellow turban and a cheap smock,
but as she pushed before her a com
mon wagon, in which lay two sturdy
limbed babies, she rolled her eyes and
wiped her face and groaned aloud.
Their arrival attracted no special no
tice, and they entered the house just as
an aged woman reached the door. She
was a picture. JMrty, sweaty, foul in
every line and feature, and on her
back an enorinou3 pack. The three
toiled up stairs, up stairs, up stairs,
and separated the organ grinder to
tho front room, tho rag picker to the
back.
As the old woman opened her door
an oder as foul as herself pierced the
air. On a stove was frying tish. In
one comer a feather bed; in another
a heap of nasty rags. The writer ven
tured to speak.
fJootl evening. Madam."
"What you want?"
'Are vou very tired?"
"Jlv God, yes; I'm dead."
"What time did you go out?"
"At live o'clock this morning."
"Are these children yours?"
'So; they are my grand children."
(Tie ie were four, ranging in years
from two to ten.)
"Do you all live here?"
"Yes, and my two sons."
" ho re are they
The qu.-V.ion brought its answer, for
into the room came two low-browed,
boisterous fellows, thirty and twenty
live years of age. They had been dunk
ing, and were ugly. Each ha a big
pack or bag of rags on 1. is back. I'ach
slung bis pack in tho corner, and the
thick dust choked us all and made
theni laugh.
Xo washing was done, but in a brief
time all gathered about the pine table
and in the room heated by the sun,
heated by the lire, lighted by a candle,
and perfumed by the fish, tho rags and
the seven regular occupants, the fes
tive gatherers of ill-considered trifles
made their evening meal.
On the slanting roof nearly a dozen
men sat ami smoked. On th stairs
children slept. On the steps and in
th e streets, as if bedlam had broke
loose, the overheated denizens of the
Italian quarter sang and smoked and
chailed each other, wnile those .in the
close houses tried their bett to sleep.
In this street are a number of colored,
families. liy a number we mean
about a hundred. Some of the women
are married: more are not. Some are
wedded to partners of like color; more
are not. It would be idle to enter in
to details. The majority of the men
were smoking. A majority of the
women were ironing. Great heapa of
starched cloths were being sprinkled
by hand, the charcoal stove heated the
irons, and the atmosphere defied the
thermometer.
Avenues A and B were a sight to
behold. A long line of tenements
there "accommodate" thousands of
men, women, and children, and it
seemed as if they were all out for a
picnic by the light of the moon. The
hearts of even tlie police were touched,
and the guardians of the peace refrain
ed from clubbing the little ones who
lay scattered far and near in pictur
esque groupings and fast asleep. Short
pipes were a feature with the men,
and short skirts with the women.
Now and then there was evidence of
John Barleycorn's presence, but that
was earlier in the evening.
In ltoosevelt, Frankfort, Cherry,
and Water streets on the east sidf, and
in Hector, Sullivan, Green, and Thomp
son on tlie west, the Irish population
suffered intensely. In the earlier
times of New York, when the streets
were shorter, they were also narrower.
In many of these, within a radius of a
quarter'of a mile of the City Hall, the
poorer classes of Irish-Americans live,
and their condition in a night like last
night is pitiable. Huddled in tene
ments where the halls are narrow,
the ceilings low, the rooms small, the
ventilation imperfect, the sewage dan
gerous, and the rent extortioua'e,
they gasp and suffer, and barely exist.
Even in the best appointed, where a
minor system of flats prevails, the case
is only a trifle better. Children are
numerous, and meals must be cooked.
Fortunately there is some improve
ment in the labor market, and in spite
of the terrible heat very many of the
husbands aud fathers earn a dollar
and a half a day. These men would
relish sleep, but they con't get it. Iu
Cherry a man in a red shirt, with his
trowsers stuck in his boot legs, was
sitting last evening on a low stoop
talking with Ids wife and neighbors,
the children either asleep on the pave
ment or playing behind the barrels.
44 You look heated."
"I do," he said.
"Have you work?"
"Yes, in Twenty-third street, on the
church"
"Well, if you go to work at 6, I
should think you'd like to have a
nights rest. Why don t you go to
beu "
The man scratched his head, palled
at his pipe, and then, as if struck by a
humorous idea, said:
"Well, come here, now. Come up to
the room with me."
He led the way to the top of the
house, four stories up. His room is a
middle room, getting its sole ventila
tion through the tunnel that runs
the length of the building. In it were
three beds, one on the bedstead, two
on the floor. The other furniture was
a stove, still hot. a wash-tub, a pine ta
1 1 two chairs, cloths press, and a can
dle, of course. The air was close aud
foul.
"Well?" he said.
There being nothing to say in reDly,
beers were suggested, the money paid,
and "flood night" said.
In Uoosevelt street the smell from
the garbage boxes was fearful. Iu
Water street it was the same. In the
narrow streets north of Fulton ferry,
where stores occupy the street stories,
and the upper ones are rented to vari
ous families, the whole population
was turned en masse upon the streets.
As a rule, they were quiet; in many
instances whole groups being fast
asleep.
Franklin square was alive with wo
men and children. The steps of Har
per's building afforded beds for hun
dreds. The bridge anchorage is a fa
vorite lounging place for tho overheat
ed residents of that section of the city,
and the South street piers were lined
with men and boys.

city merchant to one of his clerks. ''Do
not let it happen a?ain, sir."
"Very sorry," said the clerk, hum

"Ah, indeed," said the merchant, re
lenting. "How was thatr Are you

"Principally, sir, in your estimation,"
said the clerk, respectfu ly.
On, never mind,"saii the merchant,
in a kinder tone; "never mind that. I
commiserate you. We are all liable to

"Well, you see, sir," said the c!e:k,

"Mr. Jinks, you're a humbug!" ex

The Podalian is an aboriginal race of
cattle descended from the wi'd urns,
and prevails in the Austrian provinces.
Their color is generally white or silver
gray, with variations passing into dark
gray, which shade is particularly seen
in the bulls. Podalian oxen are much
sought alter for fattening purposes.
Nearly seventy-five per cent, of the
oxen slaughtered at Vienna belong to
th'.s race. Tlie meat is very much es
teemed, aud is distinguished for its
tenderness and agreeable flavor. How
ever, it is as working oxeu that these
cattle are most valued. They will
travel two and a quarter miles per
hour, yoked to an empty wagon, and
more than half as fast w hen drawing a
load. This race is distributed over tho

Tront Fishing In Tmckce Rlrerv
A correspondent of tlie Sacramento
Union has been visitag the trout fish
eries of the Truckee, and from his let
ter we make a few extracts. He says:
The trout go up the river in schools
of thousands towards their spawning
beJs. If unimpeded in their course
they would separate into numberless
crystalline trout brooks aud deposit
their spawn far up the stream, out of
reach of sawdust or fishermen. But
just at the foot of the Sierra Nevadas,
n the SUte of Nevada, close to the
California line, is the Verdi dam. This
dam has been constructed to supply a
fine saw mill with water power, and
great preraution w.:s taken to arrange
a suitable fishway at one end. The
water is made to How over a sort of
apron, or plank floor, which has such a
gradual incline that any fish can ascend.
This fishway is further improved by
means of the rocks and ear, h of the
liver bank. There is a lare pool or
eddy just at tho f-ot and lower side of
ihe apron, where the fish collect in
great numbers to rest pr paratory to
niaki ig the lina! leap, or struggle,
which carries them over the dam. The
fishermen, however, fasten two or
three heavy plank, just along the upper
edge of theap.on,andso the trout fin Is
an iinpassab'e wall at the place where
they should en er the reservoir above
the dam. Thus the fish are imprisoned!
Such restless, impatient, struggling
prisoners as are these mountain trout
cannot be found elsewhere. They at-
enipt to leap over the main dam, only
lo be hurled back by the falling water.
1 hey spring fully live feet in the air,
and strike the main apron of the dam
with terrific and frequently fatal force.
They bruise their bodies and heads un
til oftentimes they die. They learn
nothing from experience, but continue
to jump against the dam, until wo n
out and nerveless they drift completely
exhausted into the eddies formed by
the piers of the dam. One can watch
for hours these poor, desperate things
in their brave stru. g'es to get over the
dam, without having a moment elapsa
in which some trout is not leaping
through the air and against the dam.
Generally from one to a dozen fish are
visible at the same time. It is a giand
but a pitiful sii,ht to watch the great
speckled beauties iu their vain endea
vors to gt t over the d im. But the piti
ful merges into tlie horrible when one
sees the merciless grabhooks let down
into the struggling, quivering, exhaust
ed masses of trout gathered in the ed
dies below the piers. By means of the
short, unyielding rod, a succession of
juick upwaid jerks is given to the four
hungry points of the grab-hook. The
water is full of foam from the case ide,
and circles in blinding whirl around
the pool. The fish are crazed and
bli. ded l y their frui lessfrantic leaps,
and readily drift against the sharp,
needle like points of t'ie barbed hooks.
O.ice impaled, the struggle begins.
The hook may have entered underneath
the head, or the body, or it may have
pierced the side, or the fins, or the tail.
At the first moment of its fright the
startled fish darts away with a fury of
strength that is marvelous. A large
fish i3 almost ungovernable during the
first frenzy of it? death-struggle. The
fisherman's only plan is to let the trout
weary itself with Us ma Idened plunge,
at d leaps, and struggles, and then by a
dext r us twitch land it on the pier.
More than ha f the time the fish makes
some terrible bound and tears himself
from the l ook, only to float with tho
C"f ent, torn, aud mangled, and dying.
A Little Island.
Far, far away, in the German Ocean,
or North Sea, there is a pretty island
called Heligoland.
It is only a mile long, and not more
than half a mile wide, butsmall as it is,
the children who live there dearly love
their island home. I will give you a
description of the interior of one of
their homes.
It is a tiny cottage, with a roof made
of red tiles. There are two little girls,
Grelcheu and Hsie Wasa; and their
grandma is giving Iheui their lunch of
black bread and caviar, which they
like as much as you do white bread
and honey.
The black bread is a queer-shaped
loaf. It has a thick, sweet crust, and
is very nica after one has learned to
like it.
Caviar is the roe of the sturgeon pit
pared aud Raited, ami in many place
is considered a great luxury, and
serves as a birthday treat to children
who have been good all the year. To
me it is very "fishy," and exceedingly
disagreeable.
The children are happy as birds all
dtiy long. They play on the shore and
among the rocks, where tin y find
many curious things which the sea
tosses up to them.
In summer Heligoland is a very
lovtly place. The beautiful blue waves
dance about in the sunshine, their
while foam-caps glistening like snow
Sea-gulls and swallows come in great
flocks, and the water is so clear that we
can look way down to the ocean-bed of
bright pebbles, andean see the exquis
ite plants or sea-wteds, as they are
called, pink, aud green, and white, and
brown, waving f. r below us.
These sea-weeds are gathered and
pressed, and if well done, they are as
delicate and line upon the paper as if
painted there. Some of them are as
red as roses, others are purple and
pale brown, green, and a variety of
tints. There are no tn.es on the island,
only low shrubs, grass and wild-flowers.
Very few ef the people hive ever
seen a horse or cow; go ds and tdieep
are the only animals to be found there.
Should Tt you think it would lie
strange to live way out at sea on a
solitary n ek is and?
Yet I suppose poor little Gretchen
and Psie would pine away from home
sickness, if we were to bring them to
our green fiel 13, and mountains, and
woods, and meadows; for home is the
sweete-t place, alter ail, wherever it
may be.
Anotlier I'se for Mieep.
In an establishment at Oakland, Cal
ifornia, the entrails of sheep are used
for making "very serviceable belting for
machinery. First the entrails are
cleaned and soaked for a few days in
brine. The prepared material is th n
wound on bobbins, when it is ready for
working up either iu ropes or flat belts.
A three-quarter inch rope of this ma
terial is capable of bearing a strain of
seven tous. Tlie material, farther
more, is very durable, more than twice
as durable as hemp.
Japanese Customs.
Feminine dress and fashions in Jap
an are quite distinct from those of
China; the barbarous custom of crush
ing the foot is unknown (as also are
high-heeled boots), and small, well
shaped hands and feet are characteris
tic of Japanese women. They con
tinue, however, to blacken their teeth
and shave their eyebrows when they
marry, although the present empress
has set her face against these time
honored observances. Qhe Japanese
in general affect a simple style of dress
without gaudy colors or ostentatious
ornaments; except for fastening up
their hair, even women wear no jew
elry, and do not, like their Aryan sis
ters, pierce the cartilage of the nose or
ears in order to insert metallic rings.
Japan seems to be a country where
men never lose their temper, where
women and children are always treated
with gent'eness, where common labor
ers bow and beg pardon of each other
if they happen to jostle acciden'ally,
where popular sports do not inflict suf
fering upon the lower animals, where a
paper screen is a- sufficient protection
against all intrusion even that of bur
glars, and where cleanliness takes such
a high rank among social virtues as to
be carried almost to ludicrous excess.
Japanese manners are certainly very
different from our own; but even ac
cording to such a standard as is gener
ally accepted in Europe, the Japanese
are a thoroughly well-bred people.
In a communication to a scientific
paper, Mr. Watt, a Magistrate of Do
minica, West Indies, gives a remark
able instance of hereditary transmis
sion. In 1S37 an English man-of-war
landed there some captured slaves; one
of them, William Laidlaw, had six fin
gers on each hand. Of his four chil
dren all had six lingers, and one six
toes on each foot. His eldest son's
children have six fingers on each hand,
and the five children of his second son
had the sain- number.
