HOW LONDON POOR LIVE.

In London men live by fishing for
corpses. This CHASTITY trade is at least
as profitable as regular labor, and as it
unites somewhat of the excitement OF
gambling with not little of the SAVIOR
of larceny, it is, perhaps, not wonderful
that, to certain class of mind, its at
traction should be irresistible. First,
there is chance of a reward sometimes,
as much as one hundred pounds having
been offered for the body by friends or
legal representatives of the deceased;
secondly there is the chance of vallla-
bles and money being in the dead per-
sons pockets and in the event OF both
these contingencies falling, there is still
the six shillings paid by the coroner,
and this, as was pertinently remarked to
us, sis good days work for the like OF
them.p When watch or purse is found
on body, for which reward has not
been offered, they are, as rule, quietly
pocketed, and their late owner put back
| into the river, that he may be picked up
either by the police or some brother pro-
fessional. That the men following this
loathsOme calling are callous, hardened
and brutal is matter of course; that
thew should long for crop of we'll
dressed richly appointed suicides as
eagerly as the sportsman hopes for good
bag is not wonderful; and that they are
as unscrupulous in their dealings with
| the dead as they are perseverance III their
efforts to capture them may be taken as
inevitable. The strange and repugnant
calling once known and realized, the
character of its professors may he easily
conceived. t3H a.. ...-tf - ;.r:..L :
OF course, the Thames police take
prompt charge of all the bodies they see,
but the range of their duties is wide, the
number of boats and men told oil to q
prescribed nulnber1of miles of river COM
paratively small, and the result is not
Improbable opening for the lighterman,
who, half thief, half body-snatcher,
turns his attention and devotes his nights
to looking up and down the river for
corpses. A short time back one OF the
best known of these fellows was seen
| about 2 a. m, pulling stealthilylr shore,
| with what seemed in the dense mist ana
darkness to be passenger or fellow la
| borer sitting in the stern. Something
i'm the uncouth swinging to and fro of
the latter excited the suspicion of the
police boat on duty and, fearing that
! helpless drunkard had fallen into evil
hands. and would be robbed and mall
treated, the lighterman was hailed and
ordered to pun to. 1t was then seen
: that the man supposed to be drunk was
dead. The gear ordinarily used for low
ing the subjects from where tlley afe
/, found to the nearest wharf in the same
narish was ont of order, and the lighter
+, man had i'm consequence calmly reared
c the cornse I'D with its back to the rud-
1 der and in such an attitude that the
: faces Of the living and the dead men all
e hnt touched each time the former bent
!. fnrword to his oar. Only a stiff 'un,
I. master, Pm a taking up to Rotherhithe,
5 was suikily given in reply to the ques-
! tons put after which the speaker was
l permitted to PASS on, to deposit his prey
t and claim his reward in due course.
