In these hours of leisure when I want
test without solitude, and would lighten
the sense of my own freedom by watch
lag the straggles of ethers, there is no
part of New Yerk se attractive as the
lower section of Beuth street from the
Battery around northeast te Wall street
ferry. There one may see specimens of
almost every race of man from North
Briten te Malay, and from red haired
Finn te Barbadoes "nigger," and withal
some cresses which would at once puzzle
and delight the ethnologist
aneup ix counties slip.
"Kenchies slip" (Ceenties), as they call
it, is the common parading ground for
many races ami classes the shipping
agent, sailors, bearding heuse keeper,
agents of many kinds and saloon keep
ers of a very peculiar kind, "fakirs" of
various moral shades, peddlers of foreign
curiosities and sailors of every race and
color. A city ordinauce grants sonie ex
tra privileges In that locality te seafar
ing men and theso who deal with them,
and the short, bread street or "slip" is at
this season crowded with a chaffering,
disputing, polyglot and hilarious mass of
humanity. As ene walks along Seuth
street, the eutire water front is thick set
with the bows of sailing vessels from
every part of the world; en the ether
side are the vast ware houses, while the
Btrcets leading off at right ungles te the
shere are well supplied with sailors' '-'retreats"
and the establishments which are
usually connected with them, and from
both directions the crowds center en
Ceenties slip, which is te the sailor what
the Produce Exchange or Stock Ex
change is te the speculator.
On a recent May afternoon in the slip
I observed a great increase in activity,
for new is the bcaeen when sailors are in
demand. I was particularly struck
with the appearance of a black crew just
from Kingsten, Jamaica, who had been
paid at the rate of $20 per month for the
voyage, and had already squandered
enough of it te be in n, quarrelsome hu
mor and complain of imposition. They
formed u noisy group, ene part insisting
en going ut once te the British consul
and asking for reJress, the ether advo
cating a cembine te wliale the "board "beard
ing masters." Around them was a cir cir
cle of interested listeners, nnd en the
outside, another set of ajy.nts watching
forprey. At length ene Jamaican, se
black that Georgia could net produce
his equal, saw the "bearding master"
who had excited his &icci.il enmity, und
then ensued a wordy battle which was
never equaled en the minstrel stage.
"Isn't he dangerous?" I asked of a den
izen of the slit
"Ya-us, with his mouth," was the cool
reply "them Barbady niggers necr
fights, 'ceptiu' with their mouths. But
he'd better net happen around here to
night or that Yankee nigger (meaning
the bearding master) will put bome e' his
blackies onto him, and they'll pound that
Barbady till he won't knew himself fiem
a last year's corpse."
. The black sailor had meanwhile ex
hausted his btockef expletives and moved
off, sending back this Parthian shet:
"Yah, yah! ye' tawk big here, yes, ye'
de; yes, ye' de; yah, yah; but ef I jea'
had ye' in England, I'd show ye' law;
yes, I would." And as far as he could be
heard down the street he went en with
a neiry, if net eloquent, delivery en old
England and the British ilag and British
justice and all that sort of thing, of
which we have heard se much, declaring
often, and with most peculiar oaths, that
he was an Englishman, he was, and was
proud te knew it.

A BLACK SAILOR OP JAMAICA.
" Ya-as, ya-as." said my new acquaint
ance; "them Barbady niggers tights hard
with their mouths; but I'd as seen take
eny loeunattic out e' Blackwell's Island
und put him in the cook's galley as ene
e' them fellows. They jes' nachully get
te be kicked down and kep" under te be
wnth anything, and they're wuth mighty
little then."
The speaker was steward en a large
vessel, and nrefanelv dcclated that he'd
had ene "British nigger" in the jrnlley
aud would never have another. "They'll
jaw all day and net a lick, utlier te work
or te fight; but if they's a row among
these Irish sailors, leek eutl Sema fcl
lie's hcad'll be broke. And them Greeks
you bee there thoy're mighty bad fellies
with knives. New, an Irishman or a Brit
isher will have it out with you, whip or
get whipped and Ixj dene with it; but if
a Greek gets aspiteagin you at the btart
of a v'yage, you'ie never bafe unless
you've get your back agin something
'at he can't get at it. See that brewnie
there?" he asked, buddenly breaking off
and pointing.
"Yes; hu is a very singular looking
man."
"He's a Malay nigger."
"What is that?"
"A mongrel mixed Malay and quad
roon. They's a whele heuse full of 'em
up en Mulberry street. Geed sailors,
tee, but net se stiddy as straight niggers.
The masters never mix crews any mere
either all black or all white and they
don't mix in the heuses or anywhere else.

"Barbady nigger" is an American sea
port phrase for a black sailor from any
part of the British West Indies, though,
in fact, most of them are from Jamaica,
and the British consul in New Yerk
leeks into their rights and wrongs with
the same euro as into theso of white
Britons. But the truth must be ac
knowledged that neither the consul nor
the missionary, much less the lawyer or
politician, understands the sailor's nature
as well as the bearding heuse keepers.
In the olden time many grave charges
of robbery and brutality were made
against this class; but nnder the present
shipping laws they have te prove p
some kind of a character or. at least.

made it a point te nete their appearance
and method of dealing with the newly
landed sailor, and my impression is that
his cenfidence in them is, in n majority
of cases, better founded than is generally
believed. But the minority all, there
is a hard let of theml The "teutcr"

pleasant spoken little fellow, in his way
quite gentlemanly, and seldom or never
strikes a blew, under the worst provoca

observers en Seuth street assert that he
sometimes has underlings te de the

Under present laws the'sailer has every

Seuth street "retreats" are numerous,
nnd it is taken by consent that all who
write or talk en the subject are te de
nounce the "vile stuff sold ever the
bare;" but I must say, after a few "light
tests," that it averages as geed as the
liquor of most village saloons. Its effects
are certainly no worse. I rarely see a
drunken sailor in New Yerk, and the few
I de see are certainly less noisy than vil
lage laborers in like condition. Indeed,
the most surprising discovery I have
made en Seuth street is that sailors are,
as a rule, quiet men and comparatively
fiee from slang. If they habitually
"blast their eyes" and "shiver their tar
ry teplights," they de it when I am net
around. In short, I must add the sailor
of the stage and current fiction te the
long list of noted peeple I have net met.
All this applies te Seuth street from
the Battery around te Fulton ferry, but
farther uptown, nnd two or three squares
away from the river, there are said te be
many places fully down te the old time
level of horror and debauchery; in Roose
velt, Cherry and Water streets, for in
stance. The old Five Points are almost
respectable, and the adjacent sections of
Mett and Mulberry streets are monopo
lized by Chinese and Italians. The
place te see the sailor at his best is
nearest te his ship, and through the
whele of Seuth street one sees a con
tinuous line of bows en one side nnd
shipping houses en the ether. Se Seuth
street is the proincuntle where one may
find most et the curious with least of
the disagreeable. J. H. Beadle.
THE OARSMEN.
The cablegram from Sydney, N. S. W.t
muling that a sculling match has be n ar
lfingcd between Peter Kemp, the Austra
lian, and William O'Connor, of Canada,
impresses aquatic circles that O'Connor
has at last carried his point In rowing
seme one there, even though it has taken
him nearly two months te Jelt. The actions
of the Australian oarsmen have looked as
though they djd net wish te run the risk
of having the championship leuve that
country.
In the opinion et Edward Ilnnlan, tlje
coming champion oarsman Is McLean, the
Australian, who measures forty four
inches around the chest, and, an Hanlan
say, is one of the most powerful scullers
that ever sat In a beat.

these active students. Herbert graduates

THE OPERA OF "DON QUIXOTE."
An Amtulng filery nf It Conception
Knight Errantry Het te Mnilc.
One of the few musical successes of the
past season was "Den Quixote," a comle
opera. It was written by Harry H. Smith
and Iteglnnld de Keven, the authors of
"The llcgum." More than a year age,
after the success of the latter opera was as
sured, the composer nnd the librettist be
gun te leek about for some new subject nt
which te direct their genitis. They dis
cussed the matter in a hotel room all ene
afternoon, but were unable, te arrlve at any
decision. Finally they started out en a
befere dinner stroll. As they wnlked they
passed the window of a book shop. In It
was dlsplajcd a volume of "Den Quixote,"
illustrated by Dere, and opened te the pic
ture of the erratic knight mounted oil his
Iwiiy horse, ltestnante, and followed at n
little dlstance by hlssiuirc,SanchePnuza,
en an ass.
FIHST SCENE IK DON QUIXOTE.
As they stepped te leek at the picture,
"Ib-Ry," said Smith, "I have an idea."
"Weill"
"1ct'n put thesu two fellows Inte nu
opera."
They went into the stere nnd lietight the
lxtek and that very night began te map out
their work.
Smith had all the halt dozen love plots
included in thu book te cheese from, and
ha finally decided ou a combination of the
stories of Luciudaand Cardenle and Fer Fer
naneo anil Dorethea. Better material
could net have been Invented by the most
skilled libn ttlst. The characters et Sanche
I'nuia and the Den himself were drawn be
grotesquely by Cervantes at first that but
little elaboration was necessary te make
them espial as comic opera characters te
any in "Olivette" or "Pinafore."
In a few weeks Mr. Smith had practl
tally finished the libretto, and by that time
Du Keten was in sunny Spuin studying
the limbic of thu country. Te this trip is
the public Indebted for thu boleros and
fandangees und hubeneras which are de
lightful in themselves, and which give the
opera an individuality almost as pro
nounced as that of the "Mikade."

Andrew II. Green, of the Manhattan
Athletic club and Harvard college, says he
will net take part In the all round cham
pionship competition 011 June 10 en ac
count of having important examinations
that tUy, which hu must uttend. His ab
sence w ill give A. A. Jerdan, of the Xew
Yerk Athletic club, a virtunl walk ever,
for none of the ether intending competitors
are looked upon us lxing weed enough te
defeat thu celebrated New Yerk man.
