The Bowery in those days resembled a
country road II was unpaved and sandy
above Spring street. and was studded pretty
tbickly with residences Of the gentry. These
had high stoops fronting the road, and were
embowered In trees and s~hrubbsry. Many
a summer night l have seen whole families
on the stoops enjoying tho cool of the even
ing, and children trundling hoops OF playing
marbles on the sidewalk. There was one
institution peculiar TO the Bowery in those
days, or at least It attained greater perfec-
ton there than in other parts OF tho city. i
refer to the hot-corn venders.
These were exclusively colored women,
each dressed as neatly as though she had
come out OF a bandbox, with a flaming
bandanna handkerchief on her head tied in
a peak, West India fashion, the ends hang
ing down, and clean white and checked
apron. They sat on stools at the street
corners and noted places, each with a pan
beside her, oiled with hot corn on the ear,
and a small cup on each side, one containing
salt and the other butter. When a patron
approached, she handed him q smoking ear
and the salt and butter: the latter he
gravely rubbed ON the ear and ate as he
stood. The cry was musical, and could be
heard blocks W Hot corn. hot cornl

There were almost as many vendors on tho
streets then as now, but moro characteristic
and picturesque. Some bore trays contain
ing baked pears swimming In molasses,
which the purchaser took between his thumb
and finger and ate. The sand man was a
verify in those days. All the bar-rooms,
restaurants, and many Of the kitchens in the
city had sanded floors and men in long
white frocks, with wo-wheeled carts, ped
ding RockRway sand, were familiar objects
on tho streets Then there were the darkles

They hate their fathers and despise their
mothers Is a saying Which is the key to the
character OF the mulatto. or the mulatto
women 1t is rather more difficult to speak.
They are rarely good-looking, never beauti-
full. As they approach the white type, they
have long, rather COARSE hair. beautiful
teeth, small, fieshless hands and feet, deli
cate forms and sometimes graceful move
msnts, due apparently to the length OF the
lower limbs. Their principal defects are
their voices, their noses and sometimes the
inordinats size OF their lower jaw. Their
voices are harsh, their skins blotchy or OF a
dirty brown. their noses fiat or too feshy,
and tho jaw, as / have said, heavy. Occa-
sionally you wee a girl decidedly pretty, who
would pass in society, but these are rare. In
general they are very plain, particularly
when you approach the black type, when
the frizzled hair begins TO appear.

An Old Importer Tells How Some Peo-
Pile Commit Gross Fraads-

pie Commit Gross Frauds-
New York sun
~One Of the most difficult things to detect, y
said Al old importer, lis the fraudulent al
owanc of rebate of customs duties ON goods
alleged to have been damaged Where the
importer and the appraiser are dishonest
the fraud Is almost imposfble OF dissection.
The plan of operations is very simpla- Tha
law requires hat the full duties shall be paid
upon the withdrawal Of goods Then, IL
goods are found TO be damaged within ton
days. the Importer sends word 70 the custom
house. and an appraiser Is sent to the i'm.
porter's store or warehouse, and there APP
praises the damage, and upon his report Is
based the allowance Of duties to DO refunded
This system leaves opportunity to commit
several kinds OF fraud. M
There Is, In the first place, an easy chance
TO substitute other goods for those actually
imported There is q casa on record where
an importer Of fruits kept n lot Of damaged
goods on hand Tor a year, and used them to
mix with every importation for the purpose
OF securing damage allowances The goods
being in the importers possession, it Is sim
ply impossible 10 detect a fraud like thai,
especially where tho appraiser Is dishonest.
There Is, Of course. 70 much ~dependent
upon the judgement OF the appraiser in such
~ bh1h u VIE AhuA hAh AIhul.
Tn appraiser. for instance, may report a
lot Of preserved fruit as moldy or sueared.
He may judge from an imperfect or dis
honest inspection that a class Of such goods
Is entitled to damage allowance. when in
fact there wa no damage at all The re-
suit in such cases would 10 TO give the dis
honest importer an advantage over his hon
est competitors.
The frauds have gone so far that not long
g a committee Of the chamber OF COM
msrce, after investigation, reported in favor
OF suppressing damage allowances on goods
not In themselves perishable, nor specially
subject to suffer damage. They recon-
mended that in lieu Of the present system
there should be fixed percentages OF rebates
for damages 10 DO n~scortafned and estab-
lished by reference 10 actual experience In
the past, such fixed percentages to be allowed
on all perishable goods, whether damaged or
not fai
~Tho collusion Of some of tho appraisers
with Importers OF easy conscience Is obvious
from the fact that importations of similar
goods in the same steamer have often been
offered for sale at widely different prices by
tho different importers The inference is
that the importer who soils SO much lower
than his competitors has advantages over
the importer who pays honest duties
