THE . LONDON CABS. ,
I THINK I know London. I ought to.
I lived there two years and tlireo
months, and my only business wai to sco
it, both by, daylight ' liud after dark. , I do
not know how much money I spent during
that timo for cab hire, nt sixpence a mile,
in exploring the great city, or, as Thomas
Carlyle has it, tho world of London.
The cab of London is tho groat luvcler,
and is used aliko by princo und costermon
ger Do you remember tho Mordaunt di
vorce caso of lust summer, in which a no
blo English Earl brought suit against his
wifo for confessed infidelity? A witness
testified that Lady Mordaunt acknowledged
of her own accord that she was guilty of
her own discretion with tho Princo of
Wales and others. This brought tho Princo
into court to clear his reputation, and, in
tho course of his examination, the question
was asked if His Hoyal Highness was accus
tomed to rido in public cabs, and his an
swer was, "Yes, frequently." No ono
could see what the question had to do with
the case, but it nerved to show what was
the custom of oven royalty. And any ve
hicle or class of vehicles that Albert Ed
ward honors with his august presence can
never be too common for the daily use of
the highest nobility and gentry of the king
dom. The titled lady who rides down Ox
ford street or Picadilly in tho morning in a
hackney cab, will probably' be seen the
same afternoon in Rotten Kow upon a
blood steed worth thousands, and surround
ed by Earls and Marquises.
Call the nearest cab to take you any
where, and you will recline against a cush
ion which, pcrhapB, has just boon pressed
by tho joweled hands of a Duchess, or still
retains a faint odor of gin and water, ex
haled by somo tremulous ling lately hauled
to the parish workhouse.
Tho London cabman is at once your cab
man and guide. If you arrive a stranger in
tho vast metropolis, with no human soul
for an acquaintance, and with no knowledge
of its inexplicable labrynth of streets and
thoroughfares, save a simplo address in a
strange, and by you, unheard of locality,
hail tho first cabman who drives by, get in
and tell him where you want to go. You
can trust him implicitly. If tho place is
anywhere in London or the suburbs he will
be sure to find it. Through all tho ins and
outs, and winding and turnings, along dark
alleys and grimy lanes, driving carefully
over wretched, broken pavements, amid
filth and squalor, or dashing down brilliant
ly lighted avenues, thronged with the equi
pages of wealth and fashion, never fear
that he is not taking tho shortest course or
will not bring you to your journey's end as
speedily as possible. Ho knows what he is
about. Whether it is ono milo or ten miles,
is all tho same to him, and ho never stops
or hesitates, until ho reins in his horse with
a jerk, shouts out cheerily, " Ero wo are,
sir." And he does not try to cheat in your
fare. Suppose ho docs charge you a wholo
mile further than he has gone. It is only a
sixponco, anyhow. That is not muuh of a
" gouge," and if ho sees you aro a gentlo
man, ho had as lief tell you he has asked a
little too much as not, and if you see fit to
add a couple of ponco to get a glass of alo,
he will drink your health heartily, and sin
cerely too.
It is not Btrango that all foreign travelers
who land in New York complain of the mis
erable hack system of tho American cities.
A California Unitod States Senator ar
rived at tho Metropolitan Hotel, in New
York. In the evening ho concluded to go
and see Forest as " Coriolanus." In front
of tho hotel he found a hackman, and told
him to drivo him to Niblo's Garden. Said
hackman drove him round nineteen blecks,
and landed him safely at tho theatre, wait
ed until '.he theatre was out, and then drove
round seventeen blocks back to tho hotel.
His faro was fifteen dollars. It was not un
til tho next day that the successful politician
discovered that both the hotel and theatre
were under the same roof, and that the en
trance to each wero less than twenty feet
apart.
An American gentleman once gravely in
formed me that he had seen the whole of
London in one day. Seen all of London in
one day how? His time was limited; he
hod but one day to spend in the city. Ho
was provided with a list of tho noted ob
jects of interest, commencing with West
minster Abbey, and ending at Madame
TuHsard's exhibition of wax-work. Rising
early in the morning ho employed a cab
man, promising him a couplo of shillings in
addition to his regular fare if he put bim
through the list before night. He agreed,
at the same time suggesting the propriety
of drinking an occasional glass of ale dur
ing the day. This was readily assented to. '
The traveler found his cabman the best
guide he could possibly have employed, and
by his assistance he v. as admitted to view
several objects of note that he otherwise
would have missed. He managed to com
plete the entire catalogue, ' including the
Tower of London, Bt. Paul's, and the Brit
ish Museum, and bis cabman lundud bim
serene and happy at his hotel, before the
setting of the sun. The expenses of the
entire day (a long summer day) was under
five dollars. The next morning he left for
Paris with that tranquility a man always
enjoys when satisfied that he has accom
plished as much as any man r ossibly could
under the Mini circumstances.
Some Londoners are, in perpetual tur
moil with cabmen.. They carry a table of
distances in their pocket, and never pay a
fare without an altercation or a quarrel.
They look upon cabmen as natural born
robbing villlans, created only for the pur
poso of being wrangled with, and they
would bo disappointed if one of them qui
etly accepted the short faro they tender
him. Tho women aro worse than the men.
You can scarcely pass through any street
in tho business part of London without
seeing some red-faced woman or sharp
faced downgcr or sharp-nosed spinster
shrieking with rage, or going into mock
hysterics, becanso a cabman demands his
legal faro, which she fnlly intends to pay,
but will not yield tho point until she hns
shown him and tho bystanders her inde
pendence, nnd her opinion of extort ion, and
informed cvorybody of her position in so
ciety, and her acquaintance; with Lord this
or Lady that or Sir somebody else. Tho
cabmen recognizes this class of persons nt
a glance in fact, by constant practice,
they become judges of human nature and
thoy receive them with submissive resigna
tion, and part them with them with relief.
You need nover have any trouble with a
London cabman if you treat bim with the
least liborality. Ho understands you in a
moment, and while you are in his charge
he is your friend. A sixpence or a shilling
over his fare is almost a charity anyhow.
Look at him. That man with his rough
overcoat and battorcd hat and fragment of
a horse blanket over his knees, with im
mense pudge hands and broad cheeks so
reddened by exposure to the storms of win
ter and summer, by day nnd by night, that
they look like groat pieces of raw beef lined
witl blue veins, has a wife and seven chil
dren living over tho stable, where his horse
is ke pt. Ho must clear two. dollars a day
foi tho owner of tho horse and cab before
he receives anything for himself and family.
If it is a bad day and he takes in loss than
that, ho falls so far behind hand, and must
make it up another time. A rather preca
rious way of getting a livlihood in the great
city of London, I assure you. A good
many of the cabmen are decayed gcutlemen,
fellows who ten years or twenty years ago
were known as young men about town;
Bond street loungers and swells around
Convent Garden Theatre; young fellows
who sported diamond studs in their shirt
fronts, sailed on tho flood tido along the
sunny side of Regent street, flirted with
tho ladies, and on Sundays drove out to
Richmond, four-in-hand. Times have
changed since then.
He has come to it at last. The cabman's
box affords him tho refuge it has afforded
to hundreds of the snme class before. He
takes to his fate kindly; he is not soured
with tho world, but as ho drives along the
street you can see, by tho half-serious, half
jocular twinklo of the eye, that he knows
a thing or two. If you have a delicate mis
sion to execute, ho is just the man to exe
cute it, nnd if there aro ladies in the caso,
he will astonish you by his sagacity and fer
tility in expedients.
With tho cab system tho Londoner, or
tho stranger oven, is always at homo in the
vast metropolis, in any locality, and at any
hour of tho day or night. Four millions
and a half of dollars are spent annually for
cab fares in London, at sixpence per mile,
or two shillings per hour. No matter
whore you are, whether in tho meretricious
blaze of the haymarkct at two o'olock in
tho morning, or away off in tho blackest
and remote suburb, live, ten, fifteen miles
from homo, in any imaginable condition
yourself, you can always find a cab in five
minutes. . .
Tell the driver where you want to go,
1001 Strand, er wherever it is you live, then
tumble, into the corner of the scat and sleep
soundly until ho draws up in fiont of your
door, and arouses you with a shako. If
you cannot find the keyhole, he will find it
for you, and when you pay him a shilling
beyond his fare, ho will put his knuckles to
his forehead and mnko you a bow, and
when he picks up his reins to drivootTwlU
mentally ejaculate that, ho "k no wed how
that was a gentleman." '
A Nameless (irate. "
Among the countless throngs who daily
pass and repass Trinity, New York, how
many know that within a few feet of tho
crowded thoroughfare of Broadway, is a
grave which covers all that remains of a
once beautiful and fascinating woman, the
records of whose sorrows has dimmed the
eyes of thousands. No dale of birth, no
indication of family, and no date of death,
appears on the stone that covers the grave
of Charlotte Temple. The most beautiful
girl of New York, as it was claimed, she
attracted tho attention of a young officer,
a member of England's oldest families, who
with his regiment entered New York, when
the British occupied it, after the battlo of
Long Island. Charlotte, then only seven
teen, was wooed and won by tho dashing
young officer. Soon after he deserted her
and then the old story, she soon after
died of a broken heart. K little daughter
which she left was tenderly cared for, at a
proper age she was takeu to England, and
a fortune of one hundred thousand dollars
settled upon her by the head of hor father's
family, the lata earl of Derby, grandfather
of the present Lord Btonely. Sho, like a
true daughter and a true woman, retumod
to New York, and erected the monument
that now marks the another's grave.
SUITS AT HEADING.
No Armor for the Back.
11IIAT nnciest general who burned all
. ' the bridgos behind him, mado no pro
vision for retreat.' Ho 'Intended to tench
his soldiers that there was no escape from
perils that confronted them, but by encoun
tering them; that their safety was to be
found in victory and conquest, not in fall
ing back. Ho has mado no provision for
retreat. In earthly warfare, theso arc full
of exposure; in the heavenly they aro disas
ter itself. And, so, when tho apostle
enumerates tho various parts of the Chris
tian armor, ho speaks only of tho girdlo of
truth, tho breast-plato of righteousness,
tho sandals of preparation, tho shield of
faith, tho helmet of salvation and tho sword
of tho Spirit. There is no armor for tho
back. The back is not to bo turned to the
foe; safety is in facing him.
And so also Bunyan's pilgrim found it.
When he espied Appollyon, that hideous
monster, coming out to meet him, with his
dragon wings and his fiery darts, he be
thought him that ho had no armor for his
back; that it was more perilous to attempt
to escape, than to stand his ground. For
prudonco and discretion, piety and charity
hod just armed him, from head to foot; as
is shown in the engraving. And so he
fought and conquered, instead of falling
back. ,
It is a great thing for the Christian, to
remember that his safety is in facing his
foe; that no provision had boon mado for a
retreat; that the law of his lifo is from con
quest to conquest; that when ho has done
all, ho is to stand. This is the posture of
preparation for advance. Obstacles may
force him to halt, but they may not turn
him back. His pathway is forward. An
earthly army may bo defeated through in
competent generalship, or becauso outnum
bered by their foes. But, not so tho Chris
tian. He can bo defeated, only when he
turns away from Christ; when he begins to
go away backward from God. For, if ho
stand his ground, Ho that is for him is
mightici than any that riso up against him.
Ho will send his enemy howling from the
field as Christian sent Appollyon.
A Little Candle but Shining Far.
A mother, on the green hill of Vermont,
was holding by tho right hand a son, six
teen years old, mad with tho love of tho sea.
And as he stood by tho garden gate one
morning, she said:
" Edward, they toll me, for I never saw
the ocean, that the great temptation of a
seaman's lifo is drink. Promise mo beforo
you quit your mother's hand, that you will
never drink liquor." ,
. "And," said ho for he told the story,
"I gave the promise, nnd I went tho globe
over, to Calcutta and the Mediterranean,
San Francisco and tho Capo of Good Hope,
the North and South poles; I saw them all
in forty years, and I nover saw a glass filled
with sparkling liquor that my mother's
form at the gate did not rise up before my
eyes, and to-day I am innocent of tho taste
of liquor."
Was that not sweet evidence of the pow
er of a single word ? yet that is not half;
"for," still continued ho, "yesterday there
come into my counting-room a man of forty
years."
" Do you known me ?"
"No."
" Well," said he, " I was brought drunk
into your presence on ship-board; you were
a passenger; they kicked me aside; you
took me to your berth and kept mo there
till I had slept off the intoxication; you
then asked me if I hud a mother; I said I
had never heard a word from her lips; you
told me of yours at the gardon-gatc, and to
day I am master of one of the finest ships
in New-York harbor, and I come to ask
you to come and see mo."
How far the little candlo throws its
beam ! The mother's words on the green
hills of Vermont I God bo thanked for the
mighty power of a single word !
A Knock Down Argument.
There is much of infidelity of a kind
which cannot be easily argued out of men's
minds. It has its seat in the heart ; and
nothing in the shape of argument can affect
it, so long as the skeptic remains in health,
strength and couraeo. But times of storm
or danger will coma when all this bravery
anu courage tails, anu men this infidelity
flies like a dream.
An English pajer reports that a Mr.
Bradlaugh, a noted infidel, having conclu
ded a lecture, presented his doctrines to
tho people and called upon any person pres
ent to reply to his argument, if they could.
A collier aroBO in the assembly, and spoke
somewhat as follows :
' Maister Bradlaugh, me and my mate
Jem were both Methodys till ono of these
infidel chaps camo this way. Jem turned
infldol and used to badger me 'bout'tending
prayer, meetings ; but one day in the pit, a
large cob of coal come down on Jem's
head. Jem thought he was killed ; and,
ah, mou 1 but be holler and cry to Ood I"
Then turning to Mr, Bradlaugh, with a
knowing look, he said :
"Young man, there is now't like cobs of
coal for knocking infidelity out of a man."
The collier carried the audience with bim,
for they well knew that a knock in the
head by a big chunk of coal would upset
the courage and with it the skepticism of
stronger infidels than " my 'mate Jem3."
Many an infldol has discarded his infidelity
and cried to God for morcy in sickness or in
dangor, both on land and sea ; but who ever
heard of a Christian turning from his faith
in the hour of peril, and forsaking God
when death was at the door?
' A Marriage In Haste.
' Tho Milwaukee Wisconsin says: Tho
Ncwhall house recently was a scene of a
matrimonial occurrence, which for neat
ness and dispatch in oxecution challenges
comparison. On tho noon train thcro came
to this city a gentleman from Kenosha, tho
Right Rev. Father Dohcrty, and a young
man bearing tho aristocratic lifimo of Des
mond. They immediately betook them
selves to the Ncwhall house, nnd, as soon
as they had registered their names, tho re
verend gentleman asked to see Miss Fanny
Cary, ono of tho waiterosses of the hotel.
Although she was at the titno engaged in
waiting on tho tnblo, his business appeared
to be so urgent that sho was summoned
from the dining-room, and met Rev. Do
hcrty in the hall. After exchanging the
usual compliments and benedictions of the
season, the clergyman, who it seems, had
had long been acquainted with Miss Cary,
told her without further explanations, that
a young gentleman friend of his, who ac
companied him, was about to settlo down
in life, had made his fortune, and having
determined to tako a partner for better or
for worse, had consulted him as to an eli
gible pet son. (
That he had immediately suggested that
Fanny Cary was just tho person for the
place, and that, Desmond on tho strength
of his recommendation, had decided to oil'or
himself to her, and bring about, if possible,
and immediate consumation of tho matter.
After stating theso facts, the Reverend
Father mado a formal proposal to the
young girl in behalf of Desmond.
Tho proposal was accepted, Desmond
summoned, the couplo, who had nover scon
each other before, introduced, und by four
o'clock the ceremonies were performed by
the Rev. Mr. Doherty, and without waiting
for congratulations tho newly married cou
ple sot out for Fox Lake, the residenco of
Desmond. Desmond is said to be a man
of considerable means, owning property
about Fox Lake to the amount of $40,000.
Effects of a Dream.
Tho Fort Wayne Sentinel says: A gentle
man of high social position living in this
county has a son engaged as a, clerk in a
large mercantile house in Omaha. A few
weeks ago tho father received a letter from
his sou to the effect that ho bad been rob
bed of $5,000 belonging to his employer in
returning from a collecting trip into tho
country. The fathor was naturally troub
led by tho intelligence, and when he retired
to his room for tho night ho lay awake for
some timo thinking of tho occurrence At
last ho fell asleep, and ns it seemed to him
ho was Bitting by a tablo in a bed-chamber
of Hotel, of Omaha, listening to the
conversation of two young men who were
recalling the partculars of a robbery in
which they had just been concerned, whilo
they counted over tho proceeds of the same
with an exultant air.
Learning tho number of their room he
descended tho stairs, consulted the register,
fixed their names in memory, togetlicr
with tho duto under which they were writ
ten and then awoke. Ho Immediately wrote
a letter to his son requesting him to call
at the Hotel, look at the register, and
if he found the names of John 11. Wilson
und James Frank inscribed on its page
under tho ditto of November, to havo tho
parties found, arrested and charged with
tho theft of the five thousand dollars. The
son followed tho directions, and from a
letter received by the fatlier, wo learn that
tho said John B. Wilson and James Frank
were arrested at tho said hotel, that they
confessed to the felony, Hint $4,813 of the
lost money was recovered, and that tho
offenders had been sent to tho penitentiary.
t3TAbillwas lately introduced in the
Alabama Legislature to prohibit the sale of
liquor within, two miles of Zion Church,
Montgomery county. Tho bill was read
twice, and was on tho verge of passing
when, at the last niomont.it was discovered
that it was a negro church, just outside the
corporation of the Capital city, and of
course the interdiction was equivalent to
shutting off tho supply from the city, as
well as the entire Legislature. ' Tho mem
ber Introducing tho bill was not aware of
where the church was located. Tho bill
did not pass.
t3T"Tho town of Peshtigo, which was
literally destroyed by flro, has been almost
entirely restored already to its formor con
dition. The greatest disadvantage the In
habitants suffer from, is want of water. Al)
the streams flowing from the burnt district
are so impregnated witjj lye that tho water
cannot be used, and that tho people have
to melt snow to obtain the dally allowance.
I3T A wag luut a clergyman a horse,

credit for "aid in spreading the Gospel."
