PHILADELPHIA LOW-LIF E.
Rich and Poor.
We all know that at this momenta large part
of the homes professedly deserted are really
occupied. Meantime, the homes of the poor,
where nobody pretends to be able to get away,
are emptied—out into the street. • .
People who frequent but the West End of
the city, and who wilt delicately ask, as a
school-miss of our acquaintance did, "where
south street is," have little conception, of the
strange scenes going on at their sides during
the moonlit nights when they—with the door
plate duly acidulated to imitate the rust of ne
glect. the lower windows tight, the pavement
slightly weedy, the front steps elaborately
soiled—sleep the sleep of the just and of the
professedly out-of-town:
In the Rittenhouse region you straythrough
silent and echoing streets, with "Not at
Home" vociferously written everywhere,
with bristling cats spitting at you through the
balustrades, and with an inspiring conscious
ness of belles in crumpled wrappers possibly
peeping through the chinks of lofty inside
shutters ; there is an ostentation of being de
serted. •
But turn eastward and southward—work
yourself gradually, through many and increas
ing obstructions, into the locality populated by
our da.y-laborerS, hod-carriers l porters, steve
dores and lazzaroni, and the whole complexion
of things is changed. Heye there is no pretense
of being other than what and where you are.
The struggle' for existence has . come to be' a
struggle for bare breath. And fighting for
this, the whole populace bursts from its dis
mal and crazy cells, and pours into the open
street to respire, to toil, to rest, to chatter,
traffic and live, all in public.
The Haunts of the Lazznroni
Vedder the minter used to say to us :
" When I want studies of real grace and na
turally noble attitude, I go clown into the
Ghetto, at Rome; there •is, the place tp detect
the poses that Raphael copied, and the play
and expression of live limbs and bodies."
Perhaps a painter as skilful as , be could find
these art-subjects among the open-air loungers
of our own southern Wards—our Ghetto of
the South street slop-shops; our Marinello of
the Slxth street oyster-cellars and fish-stands ;
the Rialto of our Lombard street Lombards,
with their golden.balls and long lines of miser
able clients. Most people, it is but fair to say,
find only a nauseous encumbrance and a strong
smell..
The Expression of the Streets.
The change indeed, to a promenader who
walks in the direction we have indicated, is
sinister and unpleasant. The lofty lines of
cornice and the stately perspective of porticos
are exchanged for low crouching doors, roofs
that are humped with_an unexpected hip like
the back of . a - toad, structures that begin
as respectable three•foored houses,
quickly get out into their back-yards in the
dark and kneel down into two-stories, then
thrust out a furtive long shed or low wall that.
Las somebody—unexpectedly watching you
from the roof of it. The houses, in nue, ap•
pear to be getting down.. and crawling upon
their bellies. All these features are grimy,and
cease to-have color; the peculiarly natty and
brilliant homes characteristic of Philadelphia
In its prosperous portions, with their flashes
of vermlion and marble-u bite, are a very bad
preparation for these low Streets uniform in
their dark dinginess, houses sweating with a
kind of oily exudation, woodwork greased and
rubbed, whitewash coated over with a whole
palette of colors mixed togetleer, and pave
ments once red, now black with trodden di rt.-
The Liquor-Sellers.
But at almost every corner, even at the nar
rowest alley-corner, comes a great flash of
garish light. Some dram-seller has bought the
property, and, after his fashion, improved it.
The upper stories, probably, are left to their
sins ; the mortar has crumbled from between
the old cracked and blackened bricks, the
wooden lintels are split and dark, the roof is
crooked and treacherous. But on the first-
Poor the sashes are new, the gilded legends
bright and alluring. Some shops, running
beyond their reckoning, adopt that forlorn
piece of elegance which consists in putting up
the label "Sample Room," or even Reading
Room ;" but this misplaced delicacy is com
pletely thrown away on Sal or Barney, whose
frank sincerity of degradation scorns the
hiding of a " square" dram under any literary
pretence.—So the lower part of the den con
tradicts the superstructure, with a contrast
glaring enough when the whole design its
taken in from a standpoint across the way.
The Ehrure 4 Trap Door.
These dram -Tenders have adopted a pat
tern of improvement that. we 4 beg to call the
Figure 1 Trap Door. It is an architectural
feature: very base in its taste, very meaning
less in its design, very vulgar in its appear
ant. , but just here in admirable keeping. The
angle of the house, at the lower story, is shorn
away. so as to undermine the upper stories

PUILA DEL PIIIA E VENMG BIitiLETIN THURSDAY, AUGUST 11,1879.
Paddy assemble the .ne'er-do-wells audlosels
fram every Ward Of the' - City. The sort - . of
morals they learn there is disseminated' to
purer neighborhoods all over town. Among
other flowers of hygiene thus cultivated, the
relaipsing-lever has been planted - every week
this sumreer'in new and distant beds, by this
very process.
There is no reason why a license should be
granted to a seller hailing from a neighbor
hood known to 'be infamous. The present
masters of the situation are fond of plastering
up their backs with the law, ans giving the
legal coloring to their transactions. ," I'm a
heavy rate-payer," said to 11E Mullen, the hoary
Fagin of Alaska street. " I pay me sixty
three dollars for me licenSe, and me twinty
five dollars for me bar, and tin for me water,—
that's ninety-eight dollars each blessed year I
pay honorable,to this fine city." Such licenses
are shameful at the outset. •
If they must be granted, let • the shops be
rigidly closed by force at ten o'clock. An im
mense addition to the misery they entail is
caused by their forming haunts for protracted
drinking, tempting the poorer classes to lose
their sleep, and causing them to miss their
working hours next day. The down-town res
taurateur knows no "dull season." The pre
sent time is his full harvest. It may not be
generally known that the more popular and
better patronized of these shops are literally
open all night and all day, their gas-light only
yielding - when the sun is fairly up in the
heavens.
The well-meaning Fountain Society might
be caused to transplant their basins 'from the
front of the most notoriousrum-shops. While
the horse drinks the driver is sure to feel
thirSty, and he is not 'satisfied with what con
tents the horse. He goes inside,—,and the
`master's errand is spoiled' by an iinbruted
essenger.
As a speculation on the part of the City of
Philadelphia, the Seventh street grog-shop is
a most disastrous one. Old Mullen, it is true,
most faithfully and punctually pays his ninety_
eight dollars per- annum for the privilege of
selling his poisoned poirons,- But he and his
like are the must active, energetic and success
ful single agency we have iu the produce of
pauperism. 141 - pg on Lis pavement at mid
night we ourselves saw six wretched women ,
no one of whom had a home of any kind, and
all of whom spend their winters at Blockley.
The City at one pocket receives the honorably
paid taxes of Mullen : from the other she pays
for the idle maintenance of his victims, when
they are exhansted for his purposes, to the
number of between three and four thousand
perpetually.
A STORM ANT) ITS EFFECTS.—Wite a severe
rain-storm set in last evening and towards
midnight the water began to come down very
heavily. From that time until after daylight
the rain continued-to pour down in torrents.
The storm was accompanied by vivid flashes
of lightning and loud and continuous claps of
ihunder. Some of the latter were exceedingly
heavy, and not only shook houses, but awak
ened people from a sound slumber.
The - etlectk of the - stortit are not fully de.
velopod, yet .a large quantity. of water fell,and
ihe small .streams in the suburbs are much
-wollen.
In the Twenty-third Ward.all of the creeks
have overflowed their banks, hilt no serious
itanage has been done as far as has been as
r•ertained: - ... . j _
The :Schuylkill is somewhat higher than
usual, hut thus far there are no signs of a
t reshet. If the storm was as severe in the in
terior as it was in this city there Will probably
be some damage along the river banks.
The streets in the city during the storm,
early this morning, presented the appearance
of small creeks, and in some places where the
, round is low the cellars of houses were over
flowed. This was the case in the neighbor
hood of Front and Laurel streets and along
Richmond street in that vicinity. The water
in the streets was about four feet in depth, And
about two o'clock this morning a number of
persons took a bathe in them. The police
aroused the occupants of houses, and furni
ture and goods were hastily removed from the
first. floor of the houses.
At Warren, Kirk & Co.'s patent rooting es
tablishment the stable was overflowed and
several mules made narrow escapes from being
drowned. The animals were just able to keep
their heads out of water when they were res
cued by Sergeant Almon and a squad of police
men.
In the neighborhood of Second and Canal
struets every cellar was filled with water.
The lightning also did some damage about
the city. In the vicinity of Hulmesburg sev
eral places were struck and one house was en
tirely destroyed by fire.
The barn of Charles T. Jones, at Box
borough, was struck by lightning about three
o'clock, this morning, and the fire spread so
rapidly that the structure was entirely de
stroyed. One horse perished in the flames and
another was very badly burned.
The barn of William Bennett, Greenwich
township, three miles from Swedesboro, was
struck by lightning, and was entirely destroyed
with its contents, consisting of hay, grain and
vehicles. The horses were saved.
Tni YEA. taw FEVE.R.—Mrs. Fanny G art veil,

WAR CRIES IN PARIS.
Singular Street Scenes.
The correspondent of the Cincinnati Coln
merchd, writing from Paris, gives az droll ac
count of the street cries of Paris upon the an
nouncement of the declaration of war. He
says:
I saw onegroup of several hundred young
men lwaring the tricolor and singing the Mar
seillaise hymn. They were no doubt exceed
ingly interested in What they were about, but
the famous hyMn• was not so grand and over
whehning as I had expected. I had often
thought that it would be the event of a life
time to hear the Marseillaise sung in the streets
of Paris, but thii was not up to expectation.
It was not equal to some cases of singing • John
Brown's body lies mouldering in, the
graVe' that 1 had heard. There was
one hideous cry, though, that it Was
interesting In hear within view of the obelisk
of Luxor, which marks the site•of the guillo
tine—' Hurrah for war r . The strangest spec
tilde was to see women standing up in car
riages, as the multitude passed, singing the
Marseillaise and- shrieking war • cries. (Me
especially I noticed, who would make an ad
mirable goddess of liberty on the fourth of
July, standing upon the seat of her carriage—
close by the golden tipped spikes of the railing
of the terrace of the Tuileries—her arm
quivering over her head,_shouting: shrill and
long, ' ve la Guerre.' They kept the ex
citement up all night, hundreds of carriages
following the crowd with the tii-color.
Thi
was on 'I hursday night, and but a feeble indi
cation of that which was to follow.
W AR CLAR ED-{C ON DER F UL STREET scr.N'ES
"On Friday the certainty of war became
known, and Friday night there was a scene of
excitement in Paris such as has seldoth been
witnessed on this perturbed planet: The people
were upon the boulevards by hundreds of thou,
sands, covering- the sidewalks, which are
broad as our Fourth street, for miles; and
swarming in the doors and windows, while the
carriages, public and private, - filled the-vast
.streets in endless 'processions. A war crowd.
with the national colors in advance, roared up
the street, and carriages and spectators giving
way right and left, allowing them to pass, clos
ing up after them with a tumult like the rush
of many waters: For two miles at least there
were four lines of carriages moving in on..
direction, and one string returning, the street.
between the sidewalks having capadity for
live carriages - abreast:, Each carriage- here
carries two lamps ' and-When in seivice they
are well lighted. The carriage lamps illumin
ate the boulevardS, looking, at a little distance,
as if all the Wide-A wakes of the Lincoln cam
paign in the United States had come to Parts
and found street-room for the display of a gi
gantic parade with all their torches.
"With this show on the street as a basis,
think of the tall houses on either side, splen
dor by the league, the cafis blazing out in
special illuminations, and countless thousands
of men and women contributing to and enjoy
ing the glittering spectacle and the wild emo
tions of the hour. The most popular of the
songs was the Marseillaise, which is all the
better for being illegal, and the soldiers and
workingmen sung it together, red breeches
and blue blouses fraternizing for once. Many
iu the carriages were singing and shouting.
The coachmen were not less interested
than others, taking advantage of their
elevated positions to give the better ex
pression to their enthusiasm or their wit.
I heard cries of • Hurrah for war' answered
by cries of Hurrah for the pestilence,' mean
ing the smallpox, which has had a ruu here.
One lusty Jehu won applause by shouting for
Fried potatoes.' At one point there was a
mass of persons that in a heated political cam- -
paign we would estimate at twenty or thirty
thousand. They were entertained by four
young men standing in pairs on tables before
a ouje, and managing to keep up a marvellously
quick gesticulation in burlesque of that of
public speakers. In each pair one stood behind
the other, and with a front view there seemed
to be oue orator with 4 arms flying. The multi
tude spoke for itself with 10,000 tongues. Such
levity was perhaps unseemly at the time.
but it told of the character of the people. In
many respects the excitement resembled that
in our streets when Fort Sumter was fired
upon. But what would have happened to
tour young fellows making mountebanks of
themselves that night before a coffee-house?
They would have been suspected of ridiculing
the cans. , of their eountry, and if nothing,
stronger than brickbats bad been used upon
le ID, they woul.l have been lucky. Or what
would have been the fate of a hack-driver
who, in the presence of a multitude, shouting
for war in Cincinnati, had mounted his seat
and huzzaed for fried potatoes

.
deuce - seems to have been peculiarly favorable
to this pleasant "Seaside City" this presefit
season. Although -- tliere have • been many
thousands more people here, compared with
former years, not a single accident has occurred
'either on the trains or in the surf. to mar the
fullest enjoyment of pleasure by all. The
weather, from the moment the season com
menced, has been of such uniform temperature
as to incite citizens of your over-heated city to
take up their residence with us during the
"heated term." and, therefore, at an early day
almost every house on the island became
crowded. Notwithstanding the vast
ly . increased accommodaticins,. and
those too 'of the very best character, the
hotels and boarding-houses have been, in many
instances, packed from first floors to attics, and
many luckless wights have been content to take
lodgings on a "soft plank." In all respects the
present has been the most profitable and busy
season experienced here since the city was
founded. Visitors have been-satisfied with the
accommodations and amusements furnished
them--that is, permanent visitors who engaged
rooms for a length of time : of course, transient
ones had to submit to transient conveniences.
Even the permanent residenti themselves ex
press a high degree of satisfaction at their
success-,-and that is something.
There are many things which have contributed
to this condition of facts the present year. In
the first place, the season has been remarkably
favorable. A greater length of excessively hot
and dry weather has never, been known here,
and thousands have sought the benefits of the
cool breezes which constantly sweep over the
Island from the sea. .In the second place, the
bathing has been -loth, refreshing and safe.
Every precaution has been taken not only by
the authorities, but• by the proprietors of the
hotels and boarding-houses, ,to make it secure
against the possibility of aecident, if bathers
themselves observe that prudence which their
own safety imperatively demands. Lines and
other life‘saving apparatus are placed at all the
bathing points ; therefore, no danger need be
apprehended, except in cases where men
exhibit that foolhardiness which takes them be- .
yOnd the line of safety. -
The railroad company,too, under its present
efficient and liberal managedient. with lt obi,
Frazier as President. Mr. Collings- as Superin
tendent. Ilorace Whiteman as Treasurer, anti

wonders in building up and making Atlantic
City attractive. Unusual facilities for reach
ing this place are provided. Their trains are
composed of fine and commodious cars, their
employes are all courteous and efficient, the
time for the trip has been reduced to an hour
and three-quarters, and the starting of trains
fixed at such an hold. 'Os to accomtnodate the
community who desire to .keep their families
here and still do business in Philadelphia.
' The City Council also deserve much credit
for what they have done. Many fine improve

constitutes one of the most attractive drives at

another popular enterprise, and is much appre

THE NATIJLAN MURDER
Developments Yesterday.
The N. V. 511.71 has the following:
TeSterday Mr. Frederick Nathan and Seve
ral workmen, who had at various times been
in his father's house, were examined: and
Mr. Washington Nathan' was recalled to
answer a number of questions which had been
forgotten the preceding day. The result of
the examination may be very briefly stated.
Suspicion has been diverted from the sons of
the murdered man, and has been directed
toward William Kelly.
When Mr. Frederick Nathan was called to
the stand, everybody in the court room leaned
eagerly forward and observed him with the
closest attention : for it remained to be seen
whether he would bear the cross-examination
as well as his brother Washington. That he
made a favorable impression was soon appar
ent. His story coincided entirely with his
brother Washington's and he answered all
questions without hesitation. He also
denied that he had ever had any
difficulties with hi- father. or that
lie had heard anything about his father's will,
and accounted for the blood on hi- shirt and
stockings in the same way that be had ac
counted for it to the detectives and the news
paper reporters. Be. had sent the shirt, he
said, to be washed, simply because Superin
tendent Jourdan did not seem to think it of
any Moment, or worth keeping for exa.mina
tion. Mr. Frederick was several times re
called, and so was Mr. Washington: but
neither for a moment faltered under the ques
tioning. ,
Concerning Mrs. Kelly and her son the fol
lowing filets were elicited: Shortly before,
rising on Friday morning Wit.shi ugtou Nathan
heard some person walking about in the room
above his own. and that room WaS William
Kelly's. But young Kelly lid not come down

as though he intended to black them. Mr.

THIIHTETAI CALAMITY.
It is now ascertained that over . fifty lives were lost by
the burning of [Mi..' War Eagle' at La Crease, Wis.. on
the ilith of May. The railroad and steamboat managers
are concealing the fact that a large number of imrtd
'rants were burned on the lows,. deck. and many were
drowned. A newly-married couple, bound for St. Louis,
were burned in their state-room.
Thi, horrible accident, which many of our readers will
remember, originated in a barrel of Relined Petroleum
which m aslualthig. standing on deck. The fluid In sump
way Micmac ignited. and this wholesale murder WAS the
result. It is quite thus that the authorities put a final
into to the sale of this murdsrous method of Illutuina
lion. There is oneeil in which we have full confidence
and that is Pratt's Astral Oil ; this we can recommend ,
in the highest terms. -It not only givesa handsome Light,
