Our Baltimore Letter.


DEAR MR.. EDIToR:-Among the most
common street cries here are those OF
the fish men. These cries differ some
what according TO the age of the vendor
and the kind Of fish he has to sell. Some
of the men are quite old and they kind
of creep along with their baskets and
call out: "Fre-esh fee-eesh, fre-eesh,
fee-eesh," drawing the words out long
and making them sound very doleful.
The young men walk along brisk and
swing their baskets and cry loud and
lively: Fresh fish, fresh fish! Here's
your fine, fresh, white fish, perch and
haddockI" They go up and down the
streets and into the alleys, their voices
sounding now far away down the street
then coming nearer and nearer until
the air is ringing full of it, and then as
they 60 on the sound grows fainter and
fainter and dies away.
Some times when the weather is fine
and the men are feeling good two young
darkies win call against each other till
the folks in the neighborhood can't
hardly hear themselves think.
Well, maybe the fish man has gone
along and you are sitting quietly read.
ing when all at once you will hear q
wild yell of: "oiyoi! oiyoi! oiyoil' the
voice going away up in a shrek as
IL some person were in dreadful pain OF
awfnl mad bpt nohodv navs much AZ.
