BiIIingsgate Fish Market, London.

Who would see Billingsgate at its
busiest must be there by five O'Clock in
the morning, for at five o'clock, all the
year round, the policeman, permanent
ly appointed to this post, rings the great
bell, and at the first tone of its iron
tongue the iron gates, river side and
city side, are unbarred, and swinging
wide open, admit such a concourse
as is not seen in any other city under
the sun. Men in So called white smocks
with head dresses partly felt, partly
leather, some with leaves of leather
hanging half way down their back make
furious rushes from Lower Thames
Street to the river side, where they are
met by fellow-laborers, who have
reached there by some mysterious
means already and who search about
eagerly for work to do. The steamers
which have been out for days in search
of the fleet of fshing-boats from the
North Sea and which may have over
hauled them close to Heligoland, or
nearer to or farther from our shores,
are moored alongside the dummies by
the landing and into each of these are
lowered two timber gangways, up one
of which climb the porters with trunks
of fish upon their heads, while down
the other trip other porters with their
empty boxes or trunks, as they are in
differently called, ready for fresh
load. These steamers may have arrived
in the river during the early morning,
or they may have come late the pre-
vious afternoon; or should your visit be
fixed for Monday, they may have been
there from Saturday afternoon, lying
lazily in the sulfocating weather, which
is not calculated to improve the flavor
of the cargo. But there are also ice
ships about and the knowledge of their
lends a sentimental GOODNESS
to the atmosphere.
Now the streets become noisy with
the arrival of carriers carts from the
railways, whose systems touch the sea,
or carry river fish from Scotland or
from Ireland. OF course, the Irish and
Scotch salmonare the mosthighlyprized |
for those of the English rivers are not
rated so highly, ard the produce of the |
Norway rivers stand at the lowest fig
ure in the market. But for this class Of
fish the season is nearly if not com
pletely at an end, for the speckled trout !

Not Day Lost in Twenty.One Years.

One of the oldest and most faithful of
the clty's employees is Robert McKim,
ianitor at the City Hall. For the past
twenty-one years he has regularly built
and tended to the fires in the city build
ing, replenished the water-coolers and
swept and busted the rooms. In addi-
ton to these duties be has swept and
cleaned the cells of the prisoners at the
Central Station. During this long term
of service Robert has never been absent
from his post a single day, working reg
ularly on Sundays and holidays. As a
model of diligence and fidelity Robert
probably has no equal in the city. He
comes to work about $3.50 o'clock in the
morning in winter, and in summer he
may be seen washing the sidewalks in
front of the City Hall as early as 2 q.
m. Within the recollection Of the old
est official he has never had to be told
to do anything, always appearing upon
the scene at the right moment with coal
and ice. He feeds the fires with math-
ematicaI exactness, filling the CRATES to
a certain height, and patting and pack
ing the coal as carefully as a mason does
bricks. He attends strictly to his own
business, speaking to nobody but in re-
sponse to a question or remark. In form
he is short and slight, and has slight
stoop. He is seventY-fiVe years Of age,
although he does not look as old by
twenty years. His marriage took place
when he was fifty-fve, but no children
have thus far appeared in his house.

Keeping Up the Milk.

THERE is loss that all farmers can
guard against and that is the effects Of
the winter storms, both Of continued
cold rains and early snow storms, that
come so suddenly and chill the COWS to
the very marrow. 1t makes no differ
ence in how good flesh the cow may be,
the sudden cold will shock the system
and there will be an almost total sus.
pension of milk, the draughts upon the
system to Withstand the cold calling for
the part that should furnish the milk
supply. It is not a great job to put the
COWS in the warm stable, and from those
fall stores that have been provided, so
feed them that there will be no dimin-
ishing of the milk. The deal of tough
ening an old COW to stand the cold" is
one Of the relics-we had almost said
barbarisms -thatneeds to be expunged
from every dairyman's creed. 1t is a
practice that requires double restOra-
tive in the way of care and feed and
has its after effects that could nave
been avoided if the stable and liberal
feed had been substituted. -EGcbGnge.

who used TO be seen almost daily on our
streets playing an accordion, and who two
or three weeks ago was adjudycd a lunatc.
died last evening at the residence of his
son, in Martic township. He took sick al
most Immediately after being declared a
lunatic, and gradually grew worse until he
died. He was about &c years old, and was
Il most devoted admirer of the fair sex,
saluting all of them who came within sight
or hearing with 4 blast from his accordion
which he always carried with him.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
ID. &. Fleming Breaks His Thigh

ID. T.. Fiemins freaks HIS lhlSh.
Last evening Mr.. ID. c. Fleming, propri-
ctor of the NcttsviIe hotel, had his thigh
bone broken, under rather peculiar circum-
stances. lie had been in Lancaster on
business, and Oh his way home stopped at
Roseville. While standing near the car
riagc Il dog ran against him and between
his legs and Mr.. Fleming, making = quick
movement, had his left thiyl. bone Broken
completely off. Mr.. Fleming is doubly
unfortunate. rs last winter he was thrown
from Il horse and sustained serious COM
pound fracture ofthe left thigh-bone, was
confined to bed for many weeks, and was
still lame from the effects of it. The frac-
ture yesterday is an inch or tw" above the
old one, and Mr.. Fleming will be again
laid up for weeks.

CONVENTION NOTES.
Episodes of tho Struggle.


Troops of delegates could be found in
and around the Palmer House all day ready
to sell season tickets of admission. and they
found a lively market at prices ranging
from $40 to $50.
Old Madison Wells is there. ''Whom
are you for 20 was asked of him, "Grant,
Blaine or Sherman ?' Wells winked and
said ''Oh, Pm FOR all Of 'em."
Bill Chandler, 9 the political tramp
who Out-generaled Cameron, is a slight,
bOyish figure, in no particular noticeable,
except for an apparent insigniticance. lie
has thin, gray hair q thin, gray bearl
a thin, flat chest thin legs and thin arms.
His head is small, his eyes are small, and
his nose is small. No woman would ever
fall i'll love with him at first sight.
There has been great complaint about
the distribution of admission tickets, and
ROO,t of the local committee, had to he
let out a second story back window of the
Palmer house with a ladder, to protect him
from violence for his alleged partiality In
their distribution.
Twenty-Five tickets reserved for Mr..
Hoar were stolen from him, and it is ruin
ored that some of the cOlOred members of
the convention have been selling them.
Queen Victoria's son, Leopold, who is
looking at the convention, has 4 heal
small and shelving, and well covered with
hair of a brOwnjsh tint that stretches from
a little pimple near his ear down his slen-
der neck. lie has the Victorian eye and
the lip of a Guelph. His nose indicates Gu
riosity, being long and prominent. with
y tendency to point heavenward that is
not entirely pleasant. LeOpOld's as yet
undevelOped mustache does not conceal
the fact that his mother never taught him
to keep his mouth shut. On the contrary,
he sat with one thin leg thrown over the
other long one, his upper teeth showing
knuckly and red as boiled lobster.
Whenever the convention gets dull the
delegates rush out to refreshment stand
at the door, and every mothers son comes
in with pie. A hall full of men and the
men full of pie is pretty
dyspeptic scene, and such a one
was presented to the guests on the plat
form. There is a smell of sewer gas in the
hall, and quinine pills are at a premium.
There is nothing to eat and nothing whole
some to drink. The crowd is simply i'm
mense and crowds stand in all the aisles.
Old Senator HOar's gavel with which he
calls the convention is as big nuisance as
Jack Fry's cane was at Fulton hall The
Herald says &: ''lIe raised his arm and
giving mighty blow, struck the desk
with his gavel and sent neuralgia thrills
through every nervous head. There are
more derangsd medulla oblOngatas in the
convention to- day than in the entire coun-
try besides. Mr.. Ioar's gavel is an intol
cradle nuisance"
Last night while going up the hotel stairs
Logan carelessly said he would bet a $1,000
on Grant. A New York man bounced him
at once. Logan wouldn't wait till the man
got his money but he followed Logan,
and made old Jack of Spades take the
water.

Death of a NOnO.enarian.

Mother Gall, the oldest woman in
Willow Street, being 81 years old, died at
the residence of her grandson. John Gall,
yesterday. She was the widow of 'Frit-
ter" Gall, who died five or six years ago
at the age of nearly hundred years, and
who, until near the close of his life was a
well-know tavern keeper in Willow Street.
Mother Gall passed peacefully away, her
death being apparently as painless as
though she we've falling asleep.

berries are the leading features of the mar
ket, selling from 10 to 1S cents, and they
are of uneNampled size, beauty and deli
ciousncss. The "Monarchs of the West, :"

Norbeck & Miley, the South Duke street
carriage manufacturers, have just finished
a nobby little wagon for S. Clay Miller,
liquor dealer. The body is shaped like
drag and in it are two seats the back one
of which can be removed when the wagon
is to be used for the delivery of goods.
With this seat in, the wagon can he used
for pleasure, and it will very comfort
ably seat four persons. The painting
and ornamcnting of the wagon was done
10y Eugene Norbeck, nephew of one
of the members of the firm. The body is
black, with Mr.. Miller's name in gold scrip
letters on the side. On either side of the
front seat is the monogram of Mr.. Miller
in gold, and OH the rear is painted 4 barrel.
The running gears are straw colored with
a heavy green stripe and are tinted with
blue, red and black. The wagon is very
pretty and the design of it is original with
this firm, which has a fine reputation for
turning out good work.
