GROUP IN COENTIKS SLIP.
"Kenchies slip" (Ooenties), as they call
it, is the common parading ground foi
many races and classes —the shipping
agent, sailors, boarding house 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' ordinance grants some ex
tra privileges in that locality to seafar
ing men and those who deal with them,
and the short, broad street or "slip" is at
this season crowded with a chufferiug.
disputing, polyglot and hilarious mass of
humanity. As one walks along South
street, the entire water front is thick set
with the bows of sailing vessels from
every part of the world: on the other
side are the vast ware houses, while the
streets leading off at right angles to the
shore are well supplied with sailors' "re
treats" and tho establishments which are
usually connected with them, and from
both directions the crowds center on
Counties slip, which is to the sailor what
the Produce Exchange or Stock Ex
change is to the speculator.
On a recent May afternoon in the slip
I observed a great increase in activity,
for now is the season when sailors are in
demand. I was particularly struck
with the appearance of a black crew just
from Kingston, Jamaica, who had been
paid at the rate of S2O per month for the
voyage, and had already squandered
enough of it to be in a quarrelsome hu
mor and complain of imposition. They
formed a noisy group, one part insisting
on going at once to the British consul
and asking for redress, the other advo
cating a combine to whale tho "board
ing master.;." Around thein was u cir
cle of interested listeners, and on the
outside another set of agents watching
for prey. At length one Jamaican, so
black that Georgia could not produce
his equal, saw the "boardi lg m:u<t"r"
who had excited his special e.r.ic.y, and
then en tv 1 a wordy battle which was
never equaled on tho miustrol stage.
"Isn't he dan; .erousV" 1 asked of a den
izen of the slip.
"Ya-as, with l.is mouth," was the cool
reply—"them Barbady niggers never
fighis, 'ceptin' with their mouths. But
he'd better not happen around here to
night or that Yankee nigger (meaning
the hoarding master) will put some o' his
blackies onto him, and they'll pound that
Barbady till he won't know himself from
a last year's corpse."
The black sailor had meanwhile ex
hausted hib stock of expletives and moved
off, sending back this Parthian shot:
"Yah, yah! yo' tawk big here, yes, yo'
do; yes, yo' do; yah, yah; but ef I jes'
had yo' in England, I'd show yo' law;
yes, I would." And as far as he could Ire
heard down tho street he went on with
a noisy, if not eloquent, delivery on old
England and the British Hag and British
justice and all that sort of thing, of
which we have heard so much, declaring
often, and with most peculiar oaths, that
he was an Englishman, he was, and was
proud to know it.

A BLACK SAILOR OF JAMAICA.
"Ya-as. ya-as," said my new acquaint
ance; "them Barbady niggers fights hard
with their months; but I'd as soon take
any loonnattic out o' Blackwell's Island
and put him in the cook's galley a one
o' them fellowß. They jes' nachully got
to be kicked down and kep' under to be
wuth anything, and they're wuth mighty
little then."
The speaker was steward on a large
vessel, and profanely declared that hed
had one "British nigger" in the gallej
ami would never have another. "They'll
jaw all day and not a lick, uther to work
or to tight; but if they's a row among
these Irish sailors, look out! Some fel
lie's head'll be broke. And them Greet*
you see there —they're mighty bad fellies
with knives. Now, an Irishman or a Brit
isher will have it ont with you, whip 01

you've got your agin something

there?" h*> 1 "" iU(
...., suddenly breaking of
and pointing.
"Yes: he is a very singular lookinj
man."
"He's a Malay nigger."
"What is that:"
"A mongrel—mixed Malay and quad
roon. They's a whole house full of 'en
up on Mulberry street. Good sailors
too, but not so stiildy as straight niggers
The masters never mix crews any mon
—either all black or all white—and the)
don't mix in the houses or anywhere else
Each set to itself. Bars up jos' as tighi
as anywhere."
And so. indeed, 1 found it. No mat
ter how poor or ignorant or degraded
whether English or Irish, Greek, Span
iard or Italian, provided only that it ii
pure Aryan, the little society excludei
the negro as relentlessly as he is excluder
from the mansions of Murray Hill am
Fifth avenue. But, to her honor be it
said, Great Britain stands by her blacks
"Barbady nigger" is an American sea
port phrase for a black sailor from an)
part of the British West Indies, though
in fact, most of them are from Jamaica
and the British consul in New York
looks into their rights and wrongs witl
the same care as into those of whit*
Britons. But the truth must be ac
knowledged that neither the consul noi
the missionary, much less the lawyer oi
politician, understands the sailor's nature
as well as the hoarding house keepers.
In the olden time many grave charge*
of robbery and brutality were made
against this class; but under the presenl
shipping laws they have to prove uj
SOUK; kind of a character —or, at least
the fossil remains of one, which is mucl
more than they once had to do. I have
made it a point to note their appearance
•and method of dealing with the newly
landed sailor, and my impression is thai
his confidence in them is, in a majority
of cases, better founded than is generally
believed. But the minority—ah. there
is a hard lot of them! The "touter"—
landsmen would call him an agent 01
drummer—is a particularly active and
pleasant spoken little fellow, in his way
quito gentlemanly, and seldom or nevei
strikes a blow, under the worst provoca
tion. As quoted above, however, close
observers on South street assert that he
sometimes has underlings to <lo the
striking.
Under present laws the sailor has every
advantage, if only he has the wit to.use
it and the sober determination to stand
on his light,. For a mile or more along

South street "retreats" are numerous
and it is tub n by consent that all whe
write eir talk on the subject are to de
nounee tlio "vile stuff sold over the
bars:" but I must say, after a few "ligh!
tests," that it averages as good as the
liquor of most village saloons. Its effects
are certainly no worse. I rarely see i
drunken sailor in New York, and the feu
I do see are certainly less noisy than vil
lage laborers in like condition. Indeed,
the most surprising discovery I hat e
made oil South street is that sailors are
as a rule, quiet men and comparatively
free from slang. If they habitually
"blast their eyes" and "shiver their tar
ry toplights," they do it when I am not
around. In short, I must add the sailoi
of the stage and current fiction to the
long list of noted people I have not met

COL. HARTMAN. much attention
to the study of drill moyements and oi
the sword and musket manual. In 1880
Col. Fred Graut, who had noticed and
admired the lad's proficiency, secured
him a cadetsliip at West Point. De
fective eyesight barred him from taking
the reguiar course, but he was permitted
to remain as a social student of tactics.
June, 2,1857, Ilartman was made captain
of the West Point military company, an
organization composed of twenty-four
members of the various classes specially
chosen for their proficiency in drill.
Under Capt. Hartuian's command the
company won fifty-four out of fifty-six
contests, the chief secret of its success
being a bugle drill arranged by the
young leader. This drill is so highly
thought of that it has of late been in
corporated into tho regular tactics of the
United States army.
Jan. 1,1820, after the muster out of
the West Point company because of the
graduating of the members and their as
signment to different posts of duty, Capt.
Hartman wan commissioned colonel of
the Washington military company, an
organization which acts as the body guard
of the president. It is composed of offi
cers of the regular army and candidates
for West Point, who are debarred from
active field service by reason of some
physical defect, and turns out four times
a year for drill and inspection.
In addition to his other accomplish
ments Col. Hartman is a magnificent
swordsman, and Gen. Jordan, U. S. A.,
offers to hack him against any person in
the world of his age for the championship.

A Model iiermuit School ho line.
At Mannheim, i" Baden, Germany,
there stands a sehool'ionse which is said
to be the most perfect building of its
kind. It cost $233,000 and contains
forty-two ordinary schoolrooms, besides
two rooms for drawing, two for singing,
two for handwork, a largo gymnasium,
a hall for public exercises, two meeting
rooms for directors, two sots of rooms
for servants and four little prison cells
for refractory pupils. The materials in
the structure are almost exclusively
iron und brick. The ceilings of ull the
rooms, corridors and the big hall are of
concrete. Tho floors of the class rooms
are bard wood laid on asphalt. They
are supposed to be so constructed as to
render the accumulation of dust and the
breeding of bacteria impossible. The
building is heated by a low pressure
steam system. In the basement are
swim baths. The boys' bath accommo
dates twenty at once and the girls' bath
fifteen. Half of the basement is a huge,
bright room, full of tables and chairs.
Here in winter IXJb poor children will
receive a half pint of milk and a roll
each daily for luncheon. In the ninety
winter days during which this arrange
ment will prevail the directors estimate
that they will give away 20,350 quarts of
milk and 81,0011 rolls.

~e Senator l'ugh's Washington
Mansion —MeMillin'* Tennessee Home.
[Copyright by Aii*ric*n I'retß Association.]
The residence of iffr. John T. Caine,
the Momion delegate to congress, has
the distinction of being the first modern
house erected in Salt Lalte City. The
Latter Day Saints hnd only been located
in Utah five years when Mr. Caiue
crossed the plains nnd joined them.
Nine years later, in 1871, he started as a
pioneer in ' the improvement of the
dwellings of the city, which were then
nothing better than adobe huts. He
went to what is now known as the East
Bench, an elevated piece of tableland
now almost in the center of the city, but
then quite a distance out.
THE RESIDENCE OE DEI.EOATK CAINE.
There he erected the handsome struct
ure in which he now lives, and topped it
with the first mansard roof seen in Utah.
The basement, which is entirely above
ground, is of rock, surmounted by a
white stone water line. The upper por
tion is of adobe covered with plastered
stucco—the advantage of the adobe beihg
that it makes a house wonderfully cool
in summer and warm in winter. The
roof looks as though it was mansarded
with slate, but it is not. It is covered
with shingles, each one of which was
shaved and shaped by band. They were
made hv a friend of Mr. Caine, and al
though they have been doing duty for
nineteen years not one has had to be re
placed and all are apparently as good as
when new.
The extensive grounds in which the
house stands are filled with flowering
shrubs and peach trees, which were im
ported from the east, and it is n remark
able fact that the latter, although plant
ed more than a quarter of a century ago.
are still bearing fruit in quantity and
quality as good as when they first ma
tured. The avernge life of a peach tree
in the east is not more than six or seven
years.
Mr. Caine takes u great personal inter
est in his garden, and was one of the
first to import into the territory the
small fruits of the east, such as straw
berries, gooseberries and raspberries.
His house contains eleven rooms, and
commands a view, 011 account of the ex
treme clearness of the atmosphere, of
twenty-five miles in all directions. On
the east are the Wasatch mountains,
with Fort Douglass, a military stati n.
On the west, at a distance of about
twenty miles, lies the groat Salt lake
and its islands, and a good view can be
had of the country "across the Jordan,"
as they call the further side of the river
which connects the fresh water Utah
lake with the Salt lake.
WHERE REPRESENTATIVE SPRINGER LIVES.
Mr. Caine has a family of ten living
children, six sons and four daughters,
two of the latter being with him in
Washington.
Just a half mile from the Illinois state
house at Hpringfleld, 011 a piece of rising
ground overlooking the city, stands the
pretty home of Representative William
M. Springer. The approach to it is along
Jefferson avenue, a fine street paved with
wooden blocks and lined with handsome
houses. Mr. Springer's residence stands
about two hundred feet from the road, a
carriage drive shaded by tall old trees
leading up to the house. It is called
"Oakwood" and stands in its own grounds
some seven acres in extent. With the
exception of the smooth lawns in front
the whole of the grounds are in grove.
There was a vegetable garden in the
rear, but even that has been abandoned
to give room for more trees. Conse
quently Mr. Springer has now a small
forest of oaks, elms, hickory, Rsh and
walnuts.
Some of them are very large, having
been of good size when Mr. Springer took
the place, twenty-five years ago. Grav
eled walks and pathways wind in and
out among the trees, sometimes cir
cling a miniature grotto, but generally
with no particular destination. Hosts of
birds have made their homes in this
grove for years and they are never dis
turbed.
The house is a pretty little frame coun
try place with i>oreh and gables. It
faces south and a good view of the un
dulating country surrounding Spring
field can be obtained from the veranda,
which is Mr. Springer's favorite resting
place. The west end of the porch it
covered with a thick tangle of vines
which form an effectual shade from the
rays of the setting sun. Everybody whe
knows Mr. Springer will understand
why, although the vegetable garder
was abandoned and overgrown witt
trees, a flower garden is not only allowed
to flourish but is most carefully attend
ed. For fifteen years Mr. Springer liai
been In congress, but during all tha
time it would be difficult even for him
self to say when he appeared in the
of representatives without a flower
-— in his buttomhote. Up
of eoine .
would scarcely be recoguized witnoui n.
He is very fond of them, and flowering
shrubs and vines cover the pillars and
Srnament the front of his porch. Three
or four flower beds in the lawn in front
jdso furnish him a variety from which
to choose for his daily adornment.
His house is plainly but comfortably
furnished. A large double parlor is on
the right of the wide entrance hall and a
reception room on the left. Mr. Spring
er's sleeping room overlooks his grove
and has a good view of the famous Lin
coln monument.
Senator James L. Pugh, of Alabama,
lives in a house plain und unpretentious
in its exterior and without any omate
decoration to distinguish it particularly
from its neighbors. It is situated in a
comparatively newly developed section
of the city of Washington, and was built
for him three years ago. His old home
at Eufaula, Ala., has been occupied by
tenants during the teu years Mr. Pugh
has served in the senate, and what was
a fine southern mansion, surrounded by
a wide colonnade, is now nlmost in ruins.
His R street house has no grounds con
nected with it. The severity of its front
is relieved by a bay projection running
through two of its three stories, aud its
only ornamentation is the colored glass
in the upper parts of the windows. It
is very comfortable inside and quite
large enough for the accommodation oi
the senator and Mrs. Pugh and theii
occasional guests. Their children have
all grown up and made homes of theii
own in Alabama. The reception room
is on the right of the entrance hall, and
separated from it by folding doors is the
senator's library, where ho spends most
of his time. There is nothing gaudy
about tho furnishings of the interior,
everything being handsome but plain.
At the end of Main street, in the little
Tennessee town of Carthage, just as il
begins to slope down towards the Cum
berland river, is a long wooden fence
Inside the fence are a number of maple
SENATOR noil's WASHINGTON ABODE,
trees and great tall rose bushes, almost
trees in themselves. In the midst of thii
mass of foliage, hut almost hidden frou
view, is the home of Representative Ben
ton McMillin. A prettier hoine it woulc
be hard to find. The grass plot in front
is filled with flowering shrubs, and tin
rose bush seen in the picture rises above
the two storied veranda and then droop:
down, covering tho whole front of the
place with a wealth of ruiUly color. The
house, which is of brick, stands on i
knoll, and the Cumberland river flow:
by the lower slope of tho grounds. At
the north end of the house is a portico
overgrown with clematis vines heinnj
giant flowers seven a:id eight inches
across. This portico is continued arounc
the rear and at the north end is aconser
vatory. Old fashioned tall double win
dows light the house and a wide hall oil
the lower and upper floors affords free
circulation for the air. Trees so thorough
ly surround the place that the snn liat
