prise the following articles: one large,
dirty, pine table, and about dozen (empty)
monkey boxes. The room was literally
full of people. Nine or ten men were seat
ed on the boxes around the table playing
cards. A woman was lying on the floor,
in corner, fast asleep. A man-appa-
rently an Irishman-was sprawling upon
the bed-clo,hes in drunken sleep. Two
or three men were standing about the stove,
and when we entered with our train from
the other room, we were about as thick as
people coming out Of church. In one OF

chained and moving about, as far as his
chain permitted, incessantly. He was

from our sunny friend, addressed 10 one Of
the men, explained the object of our visit,
and he proceeded forthwith to unchain the
sem-baboon in the corner, and to "put him

We tried to get further information from
this man, concerning his way Of life, but
he seemed unable to furnish any. He said
however, that the business was getting very
bad formerly they used to get plenty OF
money, but now 50 many had got into it,
that it was as much as they could do to get
their living. My companion, with genn-
inc editorial instinct, wished to ascertain
the number of wandering musicians there
are in this country, and the sum of money
given to them but our enquiries on this
point were merely iruiiess. From their
replies to our numerous questions, | con-
lecture that there, are, in the immediate
vicinity Of that house, somewhere about
one hundred and fifty persons engaged in
this business, aud that they earn, on an aver
age, througout the year, about fifty cents
per day, of which they can save, if they
choose, one half All the men whom we
saw were under thirty years of age, and
seemed to be enjoying life as well as the
most fortunate OF our own population
What appeared TO me very remarkable was,
that notwithstanding the loahsome hole in
which they Slept-fve or six men, ard five
or six monkeys in one small, low garret
room-they were all brown and ruddy

we had seen, thro' the plate glass of stately
mansions, many pale faces, overspread with

they paid nothing-no one would think of

Another month elapsed, during which
time all was fuss and finery, when third
