TUB rKKITBNTi OF LtJDI.OVT BTRKBT.
Were the question asked, "Have we t Mar
sbaisea amongst ns?" Echo, that . Infallible ora.
cle, would reply, "We halve." It Is known as
Ludlow Street Jail; Its locality Is 'Immediately
In the rear of the EBeex Market Tollce Court,
and lu Inhabitants are debtors, who, like all
debtors, are In various stages of ponltence. I
I rfoubt not they would all pay If they oould,
and not being able to accomplish liquidation
they make themselves as happy as possible In
the home their penury has btought them to
That home does not much resemble a prism1
You might pasH the place once n day all you'
lifetime, without 1U once ociuri lng to you that
scores of human belngH, with capacities for en
Joyment equal to your own, were looked up
there, had been locked hp for years, would be
looked up the remainder of their natural lives,
Haveihcy committed murder, arson, or bur
glary In any ot their degrees? Are they sutler
lng from any form ot Ipanuity? Are they
offenders awaiting requisitions from the Gov
ernors of other Blateb? Are tv "Hocuses
detained for a proHpectlvo trial, always auiut to
occur and always deferred? No, they are noue
Of these things. They are simply debtors. Ti.ey
are convicted of the fearful crime of owln,
What they cannot pay. These ruflUns, thess
worse than thieves and pickpockets, thesa des.
perate reprobates from e very thing that Is honest
and good, are therefore pronounced unfit to
associate with the rest of the world !
In committing the crime of Insolvency, thry
have committed the crime that lnth never for
giveness, cither in this world or the next, so far
as creditors are concerned. They have oll'ended
against tho laws of Wall street, to whose in
flexibility those of the Medes and I'erstans are
as nothing. Therefore they crowd LuJlow
Street Jail, within hearlnx of the scutenoos
pronounoed from the JuJgo'a desk of Essex
Market Toltce Court. Under the SUerlfTs lock
and key they pass, In many cases, the prime of
life. Imprisoned at thirty, Death, tho great
liberator, releases the prematurely-bowed form
at fifty. The convict, sentenced for life, bids a
no more certain adieu to the outside world.
When ho enters his cell at the State Prison, than
the prisoner for debt does, when the Bborlfl
puts the thumb-screws on him, and be beoomes
transformed Into one ot the penitents of Luil
low street
A visit tb Ludlow Ktreet Jail is not a cheerful
Visit, altbongU some facetious remarks are
made, and the prisoners do not parade their
penitence In a very ostentatious or cheerful
manner. They are divided Into several grades,
and the obeeifulneus oi the grades decreases as
Von descend lrom. the highoHi. Tue highest
grade comprehends about one lour l h the whole
number of prisoners, say fifteen or sixteen.
They are pen items, not so poor but what they
might easily be worse off, as is seen at once by
comparing ihem with the grades beneath them.
Each has a room to himself, the dimensions
of which are large enough to swing a cat in,
Not, as Mr.Dlck,ln"I)aviu Copperflold," lellol
tously remarks, that any one warns to swin; a
cat, but that the expression has become a
popular and picturesque symbol of measure
ment, bach of these apartments isabout eight
or nine feel square. It Is f urulshed wlih a bod,
a table, and two cuairs. In most cases in all
cases where they are Insisted on a mirror and
a "wardrobe" are also provided. Three meals
a day are also to be engaged at the table d'hote.
They are belter than might be expected, though
not as good as the rnoreluxurlous debtors may
have been accustomed to when they Inhabited
brown -stones, and were ioutted up to with
respect aa the pillars of Influential churches.
The ateak Is not perhaps poi terhouse, and none
but a New York boarding-house keeper would
be able to tell from what portion of the sheep
the mutton-chops were acquired. The collie
and ten, too, would have tnrown tho "Special
Agent" of the World Into testacies, and the
odor of trichina spiralis may oe or may not be
exhaled from the pork. Hat the souo that Is
lurnisned twe or three times a week is said to
be uncommonly good, and the favorite Dividing
lor Hunday is of the kind known as "rolypoly,"
with rat-pberry jam as the sweet ingredient.
For this fare and such a room as I have de
scribed, from twonty-tlva to thirty dollars per
week Is charged, payable In advance. Theoish
system is aliogeluer adopted. The Sberlll'and
his deputies find It lsihe only one that will
pay. There Is a peculiar atmosphere about
' debtors that prevents their ever being trusted,
oven when under lock and key.
Those who constitute what may be called the
t second grade of prisoners sit at the same tablo
' and eat of the same dishes as those constituting
the first. Their sleeping accommodations, how-
. ever, are materially curtailed. Tnere would
not be room to swing even a kitten in them,
Two debtors sleep not only In one room, but in
one bed, and the truth of the proverb mat
Eoverty makes one acquainted with strange
edfellows is put to tho utmost test. A bed,
with the accompaniments of shoots, pillows.
etc., such as they are, is all that any one of
these rooms, appropriated to prisoners of the
. second grade, contains. The ooou pants have
" to wash themselves along with the canaille
' and do other ollloes of the toilet imrrories.
For tbese luxuries and privileges a weekly
charge of from fifteen to twenty dollars is made.
All "extras" are extra paid for. Cigars, tobacco,
, whiBky, beer, are not foroldden, and the peul
. tents are supplied either by their friends or by
. coming down with the stamps and the price
of spirituous and malt liquors inside Ludlow
t Ktreet Jail is not cheaper man out.
It will readily be believed thin those who are
able to pay neither thirty nor fifteen dollars
per week, and have to take np with the fare
and the accommodations which the prison
provides, are not very amiable. Fetid rooms
are crowded (with squalid-looking beds, and
In these the gaunt, unwashed denizens huddle
together with scarcely room to turn. About
one half are unable to contribute anything
towards their support, and will remain In this
loathsome bondage all Hie long. The fare fur
nished there is Uitle better than oonvlot fare:
Indeed, tbeconvlels In many prisons are better
provided for In every way. If the entirely
moneyless debtor of Ludlow Street Jail has
enough to eat and drink to hold life comfortably
together, he has learned to be content. The
thirty and flf'.een-dollar nabobs are looked
to. with a resoect little short of reverenoe.
Among them all ranks of men onoe rich or
well to do are represented. Among tnesuperior
privileges they enjov Is that of walking out. ;of
course l lie j Hra mwnja puihiujruicu vy n
tieputy-sherlfl', and tho depmy-sberitf, like any
other good thing, must be ta'.d for. There is
hardly any limit to what the penitents of Luu
lnw street are allowed to do. provided they pay
enough for it. To attend a ruaUiwee, to visit tne
theatre, to lounge In a fashionable billiard
uinnn. to attend obnroh. and to exhort at the
noonday prayer-meeting, are a few of these
nnvileiteti. Hut tbe deputy-sheriff dogglug at
Li. hnuTa la an inevitable ntilnultv. You meut
him evi-ry where, and his sleek looks give evi
dence that bis perquisites are not beneath con
tAtnnt. At the best, the life of a Ladlow-sireet
penitent cannot be called a Joyous one. Tne
sun shines for nim, but It is as through a piece
nri.iirnt itiana. Still mat Is better than no sun
at all. Ludlow Street Jail Is a New York ism,
wlTch neltber the sheriff nor his deputies would
ilngly let die.

some opinion of a man's sense an'l cbaracier from
his dress. A mno U uld dress well. Lsi your dress

becoming to your figure Ore-it care should be oxer

tailor, to properly arrange lbs different parts of your
dress to harmoulzt, and Hie color and cbaractor of the
