Lit-FHSTM)!., All". 5.—With its outly
■„ l>,,roughs and suburbs, Liverpool
hour’s ivt il nigh 1,000,000 souls. Its
iritimo interests are enormous, and
commercially it no doubt ranks as the
ereoiul ei:v iu the empire. It isahard.
rartieal city. Its business men and
factors are grim, severe fellows, stern
of decision as New York millionaires,
ami restless, diligent and unconquera
ble ;is the men who have set the killing'
pace in Chicago.
There is little room for pleasant
tliin's in Liverpool. Its chief and
almost sole gallery of paintings was
given the city by a graduated rum
seller, whom Victoria, out of surprise
ami wonder, no doubt, made a baronet.
Although one of the world’s greatest
depots for the book collector, ic has but
one library of note available to the
public. Charities are done In a per
functory. petulant manner, although
the helpless were most ill-mannered in
selecting busy Liverpool to starve in.
And its hundreds of thousands of
working men and women are treated
with less consideration than cattde.
With a few shining examples, it is a
city of commercial Grad
grinds on the one hand and public
house devil-fish on the other.
The lowly have a sad lot be
tween them. Nobody here wants it
that way. A few men, like Sir James
I’oole, are endeavoring to help the
masses to better tilings, and are finding
a little time from business affairs to
do something practical and good,
but as a rule the men who own great
fleets, who exchange half the English
speaking world's raw and manufac
tured products, push forward in their
money grabbing career like automa
tons of stone, and their fallow humans
are counted as coal, iron, or cotton are
computed in loss or gain.
in stnuying mo nonunion oi me
lowly of any great city, the demand
tor labor, wages paid, and the cost of
living, are the first things to be con
sidered. These things'indicate how
the people might live if possessed of ail
prudence and sobriety. How they really
live, and why, is another matter.
There is seldom a dearth of labor in
any great seaport. Liverpool lias
always stood high in percentage of
labor demand. The city has never
been subject to the relentless over
crowding of manufacturing towns like
Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham,
or the destructive greed of tremendous
and endless immigration, as at New
York. It is the greatest entrepot in
Europe. The landing, handling and
reshipment of nearly all North and
South American products exported to
Europe, and the reshipment to all
quarters of the globe of the greater
part of the stupendous quantities of
British manufactures are done at this
one port. Its warehouses and docks
are almost inconceivably numerous
and extensive. Fifty thousand men
are alone constantly required in the
various forms of dock labor. This fact
will sufficiently indicate the almost
measureless business ramifications re
quiring uninterrupted service.
Steady labor and plenty of it is the
rule. The least possible wages upon
which the workers may exist also pre-.
vail. The best paid men among the
50,000 laborers employed upon the
docks are the stevedorses who load and
Unload the ships—“lumpers” they are
called—who get 5 shillings per day.
and the dock porters or “good” hand
lers, who receive a 0 pence less. “Lor
rytm'ii or cartmen with two horses
tandem earn 00 shillings, and with one
horse :.'0 shillings. The police are paid
from 20 to 03 shillings, with corre
sponding deductions to eventually pay
for their own pensioning when too old
for further service. A gateman at
the 1.XI hange railway station told me
e had been in the same service sixteen
years ami had never received above 10
6 1 ’HR's per week; and no manner ol
employee about these great stations is
paid upwards of 20 shillings.

c deluded into this sort of Slav
ery by the glittering hope of “advance
ment.” Tremendous wealth and its
power are all about them. They slave
like beasts and dream of ultimate place
among Jhe money kings of Liverpool.
After years of faithful service, and at
&> time of life when no new career is
possible, they are met by the stone
wall of indifference on the part of their
employers; helplessly see the posts of
trust about and above them tilled by
still cheaper imported help from tier
many .and Holland; and come to be
hopeless old men at 40. Clerics in re
tail establishments, of whom the
greater number are women, fare
better in one respect. While their
wages are even less than those in
offices, a system is in vogue here which
given them at least the m-.e cities
of life. A large number of establish
ments provide food and dormitories for
their staffs. A regime of the utmost
severity exists. Hut employers thus
secure the advantage of absolute* sur
veillance, of the miserable "truck"
system in another form, where all they
give is got back with profit, and the
docile, unquestioning labor of their
prison-kept white slaves, from 8 in the
morning until 8 and sometimes 10
o’clock at night.
Looking at the great army of more
lowly toilers and house servants, the
study is certainly not a pleasant one.
There are large gangs of girls known
as “cotton pickers," who may be seen
at the noon hour wandering bare
headed through the streets, their beg
garly. garments covered with cotton
lint. Those who are not barefooted
wear heavy clogs without stookings,
and they will kick shins with any
rough in Liverpool for a pot of beer.
Many cargoes of damaged cotton ar
rive here. 11 is 'sold by auction to a
class of dealers who dry it and prepare
it a second time for the market. Two
or three thousand of the hoodlum
class of young women sort or "pick”
this stuff in filthy noisome pens. The
employment is not steady, and they
get what the renovators have a
mind to pay; all the way from
4 _ to 10 shillings per week. These
girls and women are about as respect
able as men would be under like cir-;
cumstances; drink gallons of beer per
day while at work, “clubbing ’ their
pennies for its purchuse; ferociously
beat those who do not "drink fair";
and live in any manner they may;
there being absolutely no effort on the
part of any person or soeiety to better,
their condition.
x xu,in wuks iu auuhL's, resurailb»
and the oommon grade of inns, will
earn eight shillings per week. A gen
eral house servant receives six shil
lings. A housemaid, nurse and wait
ress combined, who is regarded as the
highest grade of house servant, may
receive eight shillings. Charwomen or
scrubwomen receive three shillings
per day and breakfast, that is, tea and
bread and butter, and they may pos-.
sibly secure two engagements per
week. Washerwomen are very glad to
earn altogether ten shillings per week,
and perhaps their assistants may get
from a shilling to one and four-pence
a day, and “tea.” or “three ha’p’worth
of bitter,” which translated means
three cents' worth of bitter beer.
Girls in tobacco, confectionery and
stationers’ shops will receive from four
to six shillings per week; and wait
resses in restaurants, considering the
severity and hours of their labor, are
the poorest paid of all. Slany of these
girls are required t^o serve meals in
gentlemens' chambers and iu offices, at
all hours, after the manner of the
Havana coolie cantincros, and are sub
ject to all manner of insult which they
endure with a dogged bravery and
cheery invulnerability entitling them
to be regarded as real heroines in any
other land.
Hut what may be the amusements
and diversions of the Liverpool lowly?
is a natural inquiry. They are drink,
drink, drink, and “ scamping ” the
rents. Not all are drunkards. Most
of them are regular drinkers. The
horror of it all is women predominate.
From Saturday noon until 11 at night,
and again from Sunday noon until 10
at night, excepting closing hour be
tween half past 2 and 0 o'clock, in the
bar, smoking rooms, “snugs" and par
lors of each of the about 2,000 licensed
public houses of the city and environs,
an average of fjfty persons may be
found in all conditions of “cheeriness”
and semi-consciousness. That will ac
count for about 100,000 persons. I do
not know how often these gatherings
will wholly change their personel, but
[ believe a quarter of a million people
in Liverpool drink whenever they can
get it, and that one-half of that num
ber are confirmed tipplers and drunk
ards. The homes of most of these are
bare walls and squalid belongings.
The public house is the only cheerful
place they know in their lives. Rent
collectors assert that over 10,000 of
such families “scamp the rents,” that
is, get possession of any sort of habit
ation and remain rent free until
warned out or thrown out by a bailiff.
There is not in any ten leading Amerl
can cities as much actual squalor anil
beastly hopelessness as may be found
in this one. And yet nearly every one
of this class does something and earns
something here. Whatever may be the
“purchasing power” of money in Amer
ica. it is a good thing to remember that
American laborers are not yet the sub
jects of such studies as these.

VIRGINIA AFTER THE WAR

! -
Judge Keatley Writes Another
Sketch on This Subject.
Some Pathetic and Humorotu Incident* ot
Tbl* Period From the i|gd|e'i Per
sonal Experience*—Ureat Change*
Made In After Year*. '
Some time ago I gave to your readers
a brief sketch of certain conditions
that existed in southeastern Virginia
in the summer which succeeded the
close of the civil war. My observa
tions were the result of a personal ex
amination of that region, visiting al
most every farm house in the five
counties in that part of the state. The
region had not been the scene of any
battles and only a few minor skir
mishes varied the monotony of the dis
tressful life the people had been living.
After visiting all that was left in tho>
immediate vicinity of Dismal Swamp,
it became necessary to visit with my
cavalry escort the country toward the
Bouth bank of the James river. Hero
little destruction had occurred to
dwellings, farm houses and other farm
improvements, but portable property,
such as horses, mules, cuttle and food,
were carried off by raiding troops on
both sides, and by bushwhackers act
ing under the pretense of regular com
missions.
The first halting place of our
expedition was at Isle of Wight
Court House, a mere hamlet
of less than half a dozen dwel
lings, beside the court house, and rude
county jtiil. Court had not been held
since hostilities had commenced, and
more than half the men liable to Jury
duty, had gone into the confederate
army, or into the Virginia militia,
while all the lawyers in the country,
had become confederate officers, and
many of them never returned to their
homes. All the negroes in that coun
try were at work with such worn out
farming implements as remained, and
nearly all the farms were ^directed by
the women whose husbands hail taken
up arms for their state an<^ section.
Most of these ladies too, were clad in
faded and well worn weeds of mourn
ing, indicating the sad losses they had
suffered, and the great cost which in
surrection had been to them.
Our duties of inspection, however,
were often enlivened .by incidents
which were not entirely sad and pathe
tic. After leaving Isle of Wight court
house, we halted at a farm house on
the high road to Smithtield, a larger
hamlet then at the C. H. on one of
th,e small inlets of the Jaruesriver.
The officers and men of the cavalry
escort found ' forage for their horses
in a long shed which flanked
the green space or lawn about the
farm. 1 alone rode up to the perch,
where sat a middle aged, matronly
lady, and with her a beautiful young
girl of about 18 years. I wore a small
metal badge of an organization to
which I belonged that had a member
ship ih all the states of the union.
This was partly concealed by the coat
of my undress uniform, but the young
est lady noticed it before I dismounted
and remarked it in a playful manner,
saying that her brother, who was dead,
had belonged to the same society. She
said, too, in the same good natured
way, that she had a special attachment
for persons of that order, on that
aocount. While her aunt and the
negro servants were preparing dinner
from the slender means which war had
left to them, she expressed herself
very bitterly against northern men,
find especially against northern sol
diers, several regiments of which; as
cavalrymen, had been quartered in
that neighborhood, and had made quite
free with the smoke houses anil the
chicken roosts of the section. With
much spirit she censured their vandal
ism. Notwithstanding her ap
parent hatred of northern sol
diers, I made the remark several
limes during the conversation,
that when she married, if she
ever did, it would be to a “hated Massa
chusetts Yankee,” as she designated all
northern men. To this statement she
made reply that, if she ever married
such a man, it would be for the pur
pose of an opportunity to cut his throat
some night.
jjiuuer uvcr, we Murluu on our way
to Smithfield. We soon overtook three
young1 men in an old North Carolina
cart. One of them, not over 20 years
old, was dressed in a confederate uni
form. Ilis first salutation was the in
quiry whether I had stopped at the
last fa^m house; and said that if I did
so, I must have found quite a lively
girl there. He said: “That is my sis
ter, ,but I can’t stay at home; she is
too lively for that. I was on General
Lee's staff, as a signal officer for nearly
four years. While I was gone to the
war, both my parents died. My father
made a will, giving me the forty ne
grpes thiflt were slaves on the farm
when I left home; while to my sister
he gave the farm of a thousand aqres.
Your ‘eussed Lincoln’ set all my nig
gers free, and now I have nothing hut
this uniform and that sorrel horse I
am driving.” I advised him
to go to work and help his
sister raise a crop, but he
insisted that it was impossible for him
to live in the same house with her. 1
left the party and rode on. About a
year afterward, when I had got home
north, I received a letter post-mnrkea
‘‘Isle of Wight, C. II.,” and upon open
ing it found a pair of wedding cards,
on one of which was the young lady’s
name, and that of a stranger. Down
in one corner of onevof the cards was a
pencil inscription: “Married to a
Massachusetts Yankee.” Years after
ward I had news of the fate and condi
tion of this young lady, and found that
she and her northern helpmate were
living in the utmost prosperity and
happiness.
A journey made through the same
section of Virginia in 1880 showed a
wonderful change in the aspects of this
once desolated region. The signs of
the ravages of civil war had wholly
disappeared, and peace and prosperity
had again taken possession of one of
the most interesting portions of *,he
“Old Dominion.”
