There we found the whole street bar- rioaded with atolls, vans and two wheeled carts used by travelling fruit and vege- table sellers. On the outskirts of the crowd were scattered dozens of men and women with small wares and each "worth a penny." Earth person was loudly call• fug his or her own particular article, "only a penny." Then there were vege- table and fruit sellers. The meat stalls were, I think, the noisiest of all. It seems a great custom with ell the Welt- ers here in London to make as =oh noise as possible. They seem to think it e necessary part of the business and alt. pear unable to make a living without shouting and talking as loudly as they can, It matters net what they say so long as they say something, eometimee it is intelligible but oftner it Is not. Some persons make a living by their brains, but these fellows seem to make it by their lungs. These meat shops are often (to use a slang expression) "rank." The meat out in pieces of a pound or two in weight are plead in the open window or at the door for inspection within easy reach of the people passing. Each purr chaser or would-be purobaeer or indeed even "inspectors," claims the right to thoroughly examine each piece as one might a piece of cloth before buying it, The butcher himself is a great deal to blame for this custom, for often you may see an enthueiastio butcher piok up a piece of meat, turn it over, give it a little toss Stalking all the lima) and then would give it to the one to whom lie was trying to sell it, who turns it over and over be- fore she finally decides that she will not take that particular piece and goes on to the next stall, where a similar process is gone through, except thet she may take a pieee there. When she leaves the stall some one else stops up and steeps np the handling. The result of ail This in. enaction is that in a short time the meat is simply unfit to eat. Thie is more es- pecially true in these rnarkot strsete. On this oaoaelon after watching a little army of people with unwashed fingers literally "'tattling" the meat aronrtd nn• til it wee blackened and sudden, we finally began to have a feeling of being either sea elair or bilious and we had to pate along. We passed people welling ell some of artinlee, seam of which we tweet for what they were intended and others we did not. Then we 0am0 to a man selling canaries. They were very valu- able birds, be said, brit as he only had tares left he was anxious to Get rid of them, and was going to sell thorn for one shilling and six pence each, Ile wits at hist offering them for six pence welt, Some one asked him if they were god singers. IIs bell up one of them in a little sago and said, "Don't 'es Isola lilts a singer ? 'Eo's a lovely singer 'ea 10, when 'ee's in proper sarroaudiege," I hardly know what surroundtngeha would require for I found Uut afterwards• that the birds he was selling were painted sparrews, and of lumen lovely eingere. Then we passed on to the clothing de- partment. I-lere was a man selling it very valuable overooat, worth a guinea of any man's money, but he was also anxi- ous to sell and offered it for ten shillings. Finding no ole jumping at the bargain be gradually came down one shilling at a time and when we left, lie was offering an overnont for Three ehillinge. ?Sad we stayed longer we might have seen him paying some one to take it off big battle. In crowd of this kind there was the usual number selling mange, clement and medicine. Being a little interested The following letter, from London, England, will be of interest to many :— My visit to a "market street" in •Lon- don was in January. My friend, who was well acgmaitted with the oity, had proposed that we would bake a run through the city to what is called Chapel street, which is known as a marketstreet. There are several of these so-called "market streets" in the city, and for the time being they are wholly given up to the buying and selling of many kinds of articles, no vehicles being allowed along during "marketing." They are generally in the poorer parts of the city, We were waiting very patiently for a dry day for Der proposed visit, but each suceesdingg day seemed to rival its predecessor in disagreeableness. Not a heavy rain, hub a drizzle one (ley and rain the next, with a variation of fog which was very little better. When one is waiting to go any place, however insignificant the visit, one soon gets veneer of such a state of things and this wee the case with us, for after waiting for five whole days for an inter• ruption we decided to wait no longer and go in a "wet" fog and take life as it was. I might just here add that if we had waited for the weather to clear np we would have had to wait four Jays more, for during nine days I never saw the sun, and it was not because I was not up early enough in the morning (or out of bed late enough at ufgbb.) On this particular day we had neither rain nor drizzle, but a heavy fog, which was making, or retber steeping, everything wet. When we set out we found the etreets just as disagree- able es the weather. The mod on the sidewalks was just slippery enough to make walking awkward and deep enough to sadly soil one's bode. In a very short time your boots become dirty looking, so that in passing a boot black Of which there are a great number) you are made painfully aware GE their condition by hearing "Shine ?" "Shine, sir ?" and if you choose to look that way yon may see e finger pointed in your direction to at- tract the attention of your neighbors to your dirty boots. The mud in London is exceedingly difficult to remove either from boots or clothing. It seems to form a sort of paste and sticks so persistently that one often wishes that it would be a little less affectionate. The whole street was covered with a thin, slimy mud of about from one to two inohes in depth, except in the centre of the street, where the mad sweeper had gone along and swept it to one side, where it formed a pool of mud along the curb storm. Every- thing seemed to he covered or daubed with mud, so that one would wonder where it all came from and also where it oould all go to. But mud in London is almost too common a topic to talk about here and I often think it excites more comment when we have dry streets in Winter. On this occasion after we had walked a couple of blocks we came to a street along which the tram cars run. The tram cars correspond to our horse Cars at home, Or OUT street care minus the electrical and plus the horses. The car differs in several features. On the top of each are seetssuficient to aceetn• modete about thirty or more people. These seats are reached by little winding stairs at the front and at the back. The top Beats are by far the best to see a city while riding through it, and that may be one reason why electricity is not used, as by our method of running electric oars the seats would of neoessity be done away with. Each oar is also literally plastered with advertisements of every description and put on so that the ear looks almost hideous, at least it is not ornamental, Advertising would seen to be almost a dieeane here, as every available patch is utilized, It may not be worse than at home, but one always manes allowannee for home anetoms and when you see any. thing done in a way different from that to which you aro aoenetomed, it is more noticeable and hence exaggerated by that fast alone. Ilomeve•, advertising on the street cars cannot full 10 attract the at• tuition of the most indifferent. They do not seem to be put on with any regard to either mete or symmetry. In Fant one would be inclined lu think that they were put on in the most offensive positions. Possibly with the idea that the more otlarleivo the more Meting will be the um pression, and so cin the most gond, It ie nob neeersary to give many of the varieties of the good thing to read about, but some of them which amnk in my memory (yes, I ooufess I have react them several times) were "Somebody's Extraot of Beef," "Somebody's Marmalade or Jam," "Somebody else's Soap," "Corn Cures or rifle," and in feet everybody's everything, and all the very best. Well, we finally dodder' to luta thie moving mass of advertisements, It stopped and we dilated Op on top and took a Beed. The conductor acme along and we paid, our little "tuppence" and received a ticket in return whtah we were to show when asked to do so. On the one side wee printed the ticket inetructione and on the ether was our old friend, an advertise. rant.
