Experience of a Wanderer ilirovgli the Sew ers of Ntic York History of a Self Hade Scaunjer Daring Erjiloits Mysterious Scents Rccocery of ValuaJAe Property Horrors Under the Streets, i$c. In the Nineteenth Ward, bordering on the Eu?t River, can ba seen a very neat little tv.'0tory fiame-houe covering nl most an entire square, surrounded by a beautiful garden, the occupant and owner of which, though a German, is what ve cail one cf the 6elf-raade men of New York, and ranks among the wealthiest. Though a man of little or no education, it v.ould make one's blood run cold to liaten to his dariug exploits, and the many adventures he has passed through under the streets of our city. Some fif teen years ago he landed in this country a perfect sti anger, and with but little money ; this he had the pleasing satisfac tion, if Buch we may call it, of being rob bed of on his very first night in the city at a German boarding house on Green wich fitreet. His vocation at home was that of a night-scavenger, and he was not long in procuring a situation in tbe same business in this city. For five years he followed the same as an employee, which enabled him to save considerable money. During the time he had frequently found meny valuables, and fo persistently were application? made to search for lost pro perty tht he conceived the idea of work ing the eewers of our streets in its search. He had also become quite accustomed to sewers, as he had frequently been com pelled to clean them out, and was as much fit borne in these narrow and Clihy package-ways as upon the Mreet6. The leading contractors in the above business found him eo valuable and so daring an explorer that they were continually call ing his services into requisition. There is hardly a 6ewcr on the island in which he has not been;. and he seemed to take a great interest in watching the buildiug of new sewers and drains. lie knows their size, length, every turn and crock, their inlets and outlets, and claims to have many haunts below the ground, where, by the force of water, valuables that are lost are sure to settle ere they can be car ried out into the river. It will be re membered it was but a few weeks ago that h man was arrested in Hoboktn whli quite a number of valuable articles in a basket, and it was discovered that he had got tbem out of the sewers of New York. Now, many presumed that this was a new business, the like never having been heard of before, yet this is not so. There are quite a number mostly Gercaans who follow this same business ; but they are verycareful not to divulge tbe same, as it is said they are making an independ ent fortune. It is a regularly established business in France and Germany, and in many places they pay eo much for tbe proceed of the sewers. It is said that there have been those who Lave tried to accustom themselves to the business, but who were unable in many instances to endure tbe unhealthy oder and poisonous gases. A PROFITABLE TRIP. The first trip ever taken by our inform er along the sewers of the city was on Courtlandt street, in search of a pocket book that had been lost in the sink of one of tbe prominent hotels on that street, and which contained $1,350 in money, and drafts and notes to the amount of $23,000. Tbe sink bad been searched, but all ef forts to recover the lost property were fruitless ; it was evident that it had been washed out into the main cewer, and the owner offered tbe whole amount of money in cash, $1,350, should it be recovered. Hermann, for as such he was known among his associates, concluded to work. the street sewer that night and 6eo if it J was possible to find the same. That j nignr, accompanied oy two urotners. ne equipped himself in a full rubber suit, a revolver, a hook, a dark lantern, and a sieve shovel. Descending ( at tho first PA., THURSDAY, opening, which was about a block below the hotel, he set out on his journey on his hands and knees through the dismal past sage-way. He had no sooner got well under way, the powerful light from the dark lantern affording him plenty of light, when he came face to face with one of the Iarrept dock-rats that he had ever seen. The power of the light seemed to stagger the rat for a moment, when Her mann drew his pistol and shot him dead. He then resumed operations, and sifted after mud and filth as he went nlonjr. The first thing of note that ho found was the body of a sli'.l born, about three or four months old. Ou lifting it, it was so much decomposed that it fell apart. A little further, he picked up a silver watch, with a common cord tied to it, and it had evidently been in the sewer some time Keeping on, he eoon picked up two table 6poons, one bearing the word "National," and, evidently belonging to the hotel of the same name, which i9 located cn the Kuie Ftreet ; he also picked up part of an old silver urn. As he lifted the piece of urn, Le felt sorae'thing heavy against it, which he at fir6t imagined to be a piece of board ; but when taking it out, Io and behld 1 it was the identical lost pocket book. All was found safe within ; but wet through and through. IJeing unable to turn in the sewer, ho was forced to back out ; and in a short time he was at the opening, and in a few moments found himself safe on terra firma. Returning home, he dried the bills, notes, and pa pers ; and the following morning handed over the book and contents to their owner, whs fairly jumped with joy at their re covery. When told how it had been re covered, he could hardly beliove it. Tho $1,350 was paid over to Hermann, re- ceiving, besides, an order for a new suit of clothes from the proprietor of the hotel. A SECOND ADVRSTL'RE. The most extended journey ever made by Hermann was through Vesey street sewer to Broadway, thence to Barclay, and (Jown llarclay to the outlet s the river. On Vesey street he picked up nu merous spoons of every description, espe cially in the vicinity of the Astor House, and the case of a geld watch. He also found a broken bracelet, a dirk-knife, and a pair of gold spectacles. On Broadway he found a neat cross branded dirk, and on Barclay street picked up over $10 in money. Sjtue two years after the above journey he made another tour over the same route, and found a lady's purse con taining Slt7 in gold, also en old pocket book with eighty-four cents in it. KECOVEIUNG A "WEDDING KING. In the Snrins of 1S64 he was called a O upon to recover a heavy gold weddiug ring that had been dropped down a sink by a lady, and who seemed almost dis tracted ovr its loss. Money was no ob J3ct if the ring could be recovered. The sink waa cleansed", but no ring could be found. The sewer was accordingly visit ed that night, and after a diligent search of the passage-way lsading from the dwell ing to the main sewer the ring was found after neatly two hour3 hard work. He was made a present of two hundred dol lars for his trouble, besides what was awarded his associates. OYER TUUSE HUNDRED IiODIES FOCND IN T1IS SMVEKS. During the ten years that Hermann followed the above life ha states that, at times, he found over three hundred still born infants in the various sewers of the city. As a ganeral thing, he would bring them out at tho opening at the river, nnd would receive a ceilain amount from the Coroners for such bodies, while they would be a benefit to the Coroner finan cially for holding an inquest on the same. The press seldom took notice of such trifling cases. In fact, it was very rare that publicity was given to any of thcrn. Ch&nibers street, he states, was the great est on record for finding still-born infants. He never visited it but he was sure to come across one or two, and sometimes as many as five or six. The only reason he accounts for there being so many on tho above street was that there was located on that street one of the most noted abor tionists ever known in this country, and in whose house hundreds and hundreds of females have been operated on, and abor tions produced. The sink was, of course, used to carry off and conceal that which would have once been a human being. The woman who then occupied the build ing now resides in one of the most costly mansions on Fifth avenue, where she car ries on the sam9 business, but only caters for those of wealth, and who can pay her the highest prices for her services. Any pleasant afternoon sho can be seen riding out on Central Park in her carriage, and often accompanied by some delicate young woman who has been a victim to her hellish practice. A TRIP ACROSS THE COT. One night Hermann determined to make a tour from river to river. He en tered one of the large sewers on the North River side and came out at Maiden Lane sewer ; at one place he came in contact with hot 6team from a boiler, but it being Sunday it did not amount to much, and he passed it with little or no trouble. Dur ing the journey be found any quantity of things spoons without number, a silver cup, two riDgs. a liquor-flask, a new pocket-book, empty, a bundle of lawyer's papers, a necklace, and any number of pieces of coin. A STRANGE COMPANION. While making a Journey one morning JUNE 3, 18G9. throuh the Spring street sewer, he was startled by observing eometbing of consid erable size some distance ahead, and moving toward him. At first he could not make it out ; but getting his lantern to bear well on the object, discovered that it was a live hen, who seemed perfectly at home, and was picking up whatever it could come across to eat. He managed to capture it, and has the identical chick en now at his stables. How it ever got into the sower he cannot imagine, but it looked an if it had been there some time. We could enumerate many more inter esting facts of his life in the sewers, had we the space in onr columns ; but the above is enough to show that it is no new business to explore the sewers of our city for a living. Our informant is now worth over $500,000 in real estate alone, all made by digging through the filth of the sewers of New York. Xeiv York Sun day Jl'travry. coase, cois, let's uavc a BRIX5L." A temperance paper asserts that tho ridiculous and absurd American custom of "treating" is responsible for seven eights of all the liquor consumed in the country. A young man stops into a sa loon, perhaps in quest of a lunch, not having enjoyed his breakfast, and meets half a dozen acquaintances. The first thing he d:es is to say : "Come, boys, le'ls rink." He does it, not because he wants it himself, for he may only take a glass cf lemonade, but because it is the custom, and he thinks his acquaintances will think him mean and stingy if he does not do it. Abolish that custom to-day and where there is eight barrels of liquor drank now there would be but one. We be lieve thi?. and believe it can't be gainsaid. Wo ppeal to any number of drinkers for their opinion in this matter. To this cus tom we owe our "drii.king between drinks," which soma wag, with more truth than poetry ia his soul, t-aid was tbe only thing that hurt, or words to that effect. A moment's reflection would show the ridiculousness of going into a place, even in the mood for liquor, and asking five or six acquaintances up to drink with you ; yet it is done all the time, and by the parties who perhaps want the money for stockings; but not to do it when your acquaintances are about, is to be looked upon as "small potatoes" and a few in the hill. Take the following as an illus tration of a delightful "fix" liable to arise from this absurd custom. You feel in a mood for a glass. You go for it. Meet a friend just as you are about to enter a gin mill, and you "ask" him. Enter, und he comes upon a group of four or five of his friends who have just entered, and are conversing for a moment. You are introduced all round by your friend. Where are you now, with a dollar in voir pocket and five or six fellows on your hands, only one of whom you ever saw before, and morally bound by cus tom and impelled by false pride to ask them to join you in a social glass. You can't get outof.it ; they know you came in for liquor, and as your friend introduc ed you and didn't invite, why you must do the honor, and you say you are glad to see them, (an infernal lie, by the way,) and ask them up. If you are known at the bar, all right ; if not, you have to borrow of your friend. How's that? Perhaps some of the party mighC ask you some other time, but the chances are they wouldn't know you from a baked apple. A most absurd, dead fraud, this "ask ing" in connection with liquor. Do we ask, coax, prevail on acquaintances to go in and have neck-ties, gloves or boots with us ? ''Come in and have a bottle of wine with me," men will say, aud take you by tho arm and in you go. Do they ever say, "Come in and have a hat with me Are you continually urged lo eat things ? Do they ask you to take pocket-knives, lead peccils, hair dye, tooth powder, paper collars or umbrellas with them! No, this "asking" business is confined to liquor. It is liquor liberality,r,or custom .rather, that extends itself to no other article, if we except oysters and cigars, but in theEe it is limited. Take a party of six Ger mans, who go in for their lager. They sit down, and each one drinks what he wants, and pays for what he drinks. He isn't forced aud bantered because he don't drink more. The same with Englishmen, Frenchmen, and all other people on the face of the globe, except Americans, You know how it would be with the latter did they go in for lager. There would be thirty-six glasses drank, or paid for if not drank, because each must "ask" the oth ers. Humbug I Folly ! Imagine a case like this, did the "asking" business ex tend beyond tho confines of liquor : Two gentlemen walking up Main street. One is attracted by a fine display of bottles no, boots, shoes, etc., in a window. "Bob, let's go in and have some boots." In they go. "Take hold, Bob ; what's your fancy?" "Thank you, Tom, fcut I'm not taxing boots just now." "Oh, get in. TaK held. One pair won't hurt you." "No, excuse me, Tom." "Tans something, Bob. TaKe home a pair of boots for your wife. Don't see me do tnis thing alone." Bob comes down and taKes a pair of boots. It's no use. Who could withstand Tom's appeal.

Hope is a hen that lays more eggs than she kan hatch out. Better leave youre child virtew than money; but this is a sekret known only tew a few. I honestly beleave it iz better tew know nothing than tew know what ain't eo. About the hardest work a phcilow kan do iz tew ppark two galh, at once, and preserve a good average. Prudery iz one ov virtew" s bastards. A nickname will cnilive cn:iy man or thing ; it iz like the crook in n dogg's tale, you may cut it opb, and throw it behind the barn, but the crook iz thar yet, and the stump iz the epitaph. If you analizc what most men kail plezzure, you will fir.d it composad ov one part humbugg, and two parts pain. Whan you hain't got nothing tew do, do it at once, this iz the way to learn to be bizzy. We hav bin told that the best way to overkura misfortunes iz tew f.ht with them I hav tried both ways, and recom mend a successful djdge. The art ov becoming ov importance in tho eyes ov others, iz not to overrate our self, but tew cause them tew do it. The true way to understand the judg ments ov heaven is to submit to them. Method iz everything, especially tew ordinary men ; the few men who can lift a tun, at pleasure, have a divine righi to take holt of it tew a disadvantage. Tho mind ov man iz like a piece ov land that, tew bo useful, must he manur ed with learning, ploughed with energy, sown with virtew, and harvested with ekonemy. Where religion is a trade, morality iza merchandize. Conversahun should bo enlivened with wit, not composed ov it. The less a man knows, the more he will guess at ; and guessing iz than suspicion. nothing more Going tew law, iz like skinning a new milch cow for the hide, and giving the meat to the lawyers. Death tew most of us, iz a kind of "farewell benefit" "positively our last appearance." Phools are q-iice often like hornets, verry bizzy, b it about what, the Lord only knows. Living on Hope, iz like living on wind, a good way tew git phull, but a puor way tew got phatt. Jealously don't pay, the best it can do, iz tew discover what we dont want to find, nor dou't expekt to. Stcrets are a mortgage on friendships. I don't think a bad man iz az danger ous az a weak one I don't think a bile that has come to a he J, iz az risky az a hidden one. that may come to a dozzen beds. A ivid imaganashun like a sun glas makes things at a distance look tiviea az big as they am, and cluss to, twice as small as they am. Hope iz a draft on futurity, sumtimcs honored, but generally extended. If the world dippizes a hypokrit, what must they think of him in heaven? Flattery iz like Kolona water tew bj smelt ov, not swallowed. After all, there don't seem tew be butt this difference between the wiza mou and the phools : tbe wise men are all fuss and sum featherp, while the phools are all fuss and no feathers. Without friends and without cnomys is tho lai-t ackount we hav ov astray dog. Men generally, when they wh;p a raulr, sware ; the mulo remembers the swareiug, but for-rila tho licking. .Sum folks wonder whare awl the ln.-3 cum from, but I don't ; one good lire will pizen a whole country. Hunting after fame iz like hunting af ter fleas bard tew ketch, and shure tew make yu uneasy if yu do or don't ketch them. Menny people spend their time trieing tew find the hole whare sin got into this world. If two men brake through the ice into a mill pond they had better hunt for sum good hole tew git out, rather than git into a long argument about the hole they cum tew fail in. lmaginashun, tew much indulged in, soon is tortured into reality : this iz one way that good hoss thief are made ; a man leans over a fonee all day, and im agines the boss in the lot belongs to him, and shure enutf the fust dark tight, the boss does. If you must chaw terbacker, young man, for heaven's sake chaw old plogg it iz the nastyest. THE BACHELOR. A chronic old bachelor is invariably ov the neuter gender, I don't care bow much he may offer tew bet it ain't so. They are like dried apples ca a string want a good soaking before they will do to use. I suppose there is some of them who have a good excuse for their nuterness ; many of them are too stingy to marry. This ie one cf the best excuses I kno of, for a stingy man ain't fit to have a nice woman. Some old batchelors git after a flirt, and can't travel so fast as she' doz, and then concludes awl tho female group are hard to ketch, and good for nothing when thci are ketched. NUMBER 19. A flirt is a rough thing to overhaul un ices the right dog gets after her, and then they are the easiest of awl to ketch, and often make the very best of wives. When a flirt really falls in love she is as powerless as a mown daizy. Her impudence then changes into mod esty, her cunning into fear, her spurs into a halter, her pruning hook into a cradle. The best way to ketch a flirt is tew travel the other way from which they are going, or tit down on the ground and whistle some lively tune till the flirt comes round. Oi4 batchelors make tho flirts, and tbi'ii the flirts get mora than ever, by makin the old batchelors.

I was in a livt ly fever all the time. There is only one person who has in habited this world thus far that I think could have been an old bachelor and done the subject justice, and Le was Adam, but I hold it every man's duty to Ptlcet a partner and keep the dance hot.
