but the chief and' representative of these
was that of the merchant tailors, which

close connection between the guild of
weavers and the government of the city, as
well as the importance of the -office of
Mayor, and the care taken to have none
but a duly qualified person elected to
that office. The annual swearing in
of the Mayor was a most 'interesting

THE BOLD BUCCANEERS.
are many memorials of old days,
and in the centre of the city much remains
to suggest to us its appearance in 1497, the
year of the first voyage from England fa
the New World, the voyage that first
opened the American continent to European
knowledge, and one that was follow-
ed in the next year by the discovery of
the United States coast from Maine to
Virginia. Not long before this time the
learned and painstaking William Worcester,
a native of Bristol, had amused his leisure,
oe his return to his native city, by pacing
up and down its streets, and taking note of
the number of steps or paces each street con-
tained in length and width. His rough note-
bookisstill extant, and in ito
he has jotted
t
clown many little pieces of information, from
which we can build up a picture of the as-
pect of the city in his day, that is to say,
in 1480,
Let us stand at this corner, in the heart of
the ancient city, where four ways meet, and
the High Cross stood. The arrangement
irresistibly reminds us of Chester and other
Roman cities, and although history is silent
as to Bristol having been a Roman town, it
is possible that the similarity is more than
an accidental coincidence. We find our
analogy in the liberties and privileges of
Bristol, for these correspond with the rights
accorded to Ron -{an towns, and recognized
even by the grasping Saxon, who, as a rule,
thought no tax too heavy to impose on com-
merce. All these privileges were the birth-
right of the Bristol citizen. Among them
was the right to impose toils on goods
BOUGHT BY FOREIGNERS,
who were further restricted from staying in
the city for more than forty days, and from
selling anything except through a Bristol
broker. At one period it was the seat of a
mint, a distinction only conferred on im-
portant places. The freedom of Coventry
was purchased, according to the beautiful
old legend, by the splendid devotion of
Godiva ; but Bristol could claim from time
immemorial to be toll-free, and subject to
no lord but the king. From successive
monarchs, it purchased charters granting
it ever more extended rights, and when
impecunious kings had no more privileges
to sell, they raised money by imposing a
fine, by way of a " benevolence " of £500,
on account of the costliness of the citizens'
dress ; " and every man worth £200 to pay
20s., because men's wives went so sumptu-
ously apparelled." Thia was in 1490, and
it is notable that in 1486, 46 only four years
F
ars
before, the merchants of Bristol had bitter-
ly to the same monarch, the newly crowned
Henry VII., of the losses they had sustain-
ed and the damage to their trade by the
long and fierce Wars of the Roses. It is a
remarkable instance of the marvellous el-
asticity of the city's resources, and of the
profits made by the renewed trade, that
during these four years not only had dis-
tress given way to ostentation, but all the
streets had been newly paved, each man
being responsible for the portion which lay
before his own house, The " backs " and
quays along the river had been put in repair
at great expense some years previously.
Two peculiarities are noted about Bristol
sheets : no coaches or wheeled -carriages or
carts were used in them; but only sledges,
probably owing to the existence of very ex-
tensive ceilarage beneath them : and the
city was remarkable for its system of under-
ground drainage, in which respect it was
far in advance of most towns of that day.
The four chief streets led from the central
point above spoken of to the principal gates
of the city, one of which, St. John's Gate,
is still standing, and piously supports the
tower and spire of the church from which it
takes its name. At the intersection of the
streets no less than three parish churches,
two of which remain, looked down on the
High Cross, now,
AFTER. MANY VICISSITUDES,
carefully preserved in private grounds at
some distance from Bristol. Though lost to
the city, a reproduction of it adorns the
open space by the cathedral, and marks the
spot where the original cross was erected
after the exigencies of traffic necessitated
its removal from the city's central point.
Attached to the wall of one of the neighbor-
ing churches stood an edifice forming a Sort
of exchange for the merchants of Bristol.
This was the Tolzey, or Tollsell, and with
its successor—for it was rebuilt in 1583—
served the same purpose, until superseded
in 1740 by the present Exchange.
The street leading southward from the
High Cross formerly passed under a gate
beneath the chancel of St. Nicholas Church,
and then crossed the Old Bridge, astructure
of singular interest and _ remarkable con-
struction. Like London Bridge, it had
houses on each side and a chapel in the cen-
tre, but in this case the chapel spanned the
roadway, and even projected beyond the
line of houses, a separate pier being built
for it on the eastern or up -river side of the
bridge proper. Over the archway by which
the road passed under the chapel a tower of
FOUR LOFTY STORIES
rose to a total height of 108 feet. Tiers houses
ever the shops on each side of the road were
/our and five stories in height, and were oc-
cupied by some of the wealthiest tradesmen
in the city. The fronts of the houses rested
on the main structure of the bridge; the
backs rested on a sort of subsidiary bridge,
or rather a wall supported on arches, on each
aide of the main bridge, while the partition
walls and flooring were carried on beams
laid across the intervening space. Nothing,
therefore, but these beams and floors separ-
ated the shops of the merchants from the
current below, and curious accidents result-
ed from this singular arrangement.- In the
words of au eye -witness, " it has indeed oc-
curred that a mast of a vessel came through
the kitchen window, and even rose up
Through the shop floor, and that the utensils
of the cellar were afloat, and that an ox
forced his way through the shop window be-
hind and fell into the river, and the like."
The cellars alluded to were formed in the
piers of the bridge, under the roadway.
Crossing the bridge and turning to the
left, we are in the quarter in which was
carried on the manufacture to which the
wealth of Bristol was primarily due. Tuck-
er Street was the special street of the
" tuckers," or cloth -workers, and the great
merchant family of Canynges, of whom we
sh all have to speak later, had their origin
in this street. As they angnired wealth,
they began an ;wort their own cloth, and
from this they --'narked on a general car-
rying trade, sending
SHIPS INTO ALL SF. 'i9,
from Iceland so the Levant. This may be

A Description of the Old-time Spanish
American Merchantmen
As a rule, the Spanish-American mer-
chantmen were formidable floating castles.
They might carry 150 of a crew, with a
company or 'two of disciplined soldiers.
They mounted many guns of heavy metal.
The "musketeers were freely furnished
with those bell -mouthed trabucos which
belched out bullets by the quarter bushel,
and were excessively disagreeable at close
quarters ; and they were clothed in cuiras-
ses or buff, which would turn a balL The
poop and the forecastle were solid forts, and
the former was furnished with semicircular
galleries, from which the defenders could
fire with commanding precision. There
were boarding nettings to be diced to the
rigging ; and even at the waist, where the
sides were the lowest, boarding must have
been like scrambling up the side of a house.
If we turn, on the other hand, to the light
buccaneering craft, it would seem there was
no sort of equality. They were- generally
schooners or brigantines of small burden,
with tall but tapering spars, carrying a
tremendous weight of canvas, Their guns
were ' necessarily few, though one or two
were formidable. The men at the most
could not be numerous, although packed
away above and below like herrings in a
barrel. .
Where they excelled was in seamanship
and dexterous maneuvering. In certain
light winds they had it all their own way.
If their Luck was good, the enemy's gun-
ners would fire wide of the small and shift-
ing mark. Their very audacity often saved
them disaster, for at the closest quarters it
was impossible to depress the guns so as to
do them serious damage. When they did
board there was no need to give the watch-
word— death or victory. They were fight-
ing not only with ropes round their necks,
but with thumbscrews and hot gridirons in
the more remote prospective. That ac-
counts for the animation they threw into
the attack, but we confess we are still
mystified by the triumphs that crowned
thoir audacity. For even the buccaneers
never denied the Spanish pluck, and the
Spaniards were likewise fighting for exist-
ence.
Registering' Seamen•
The Council of the Shipping Federation
in England has just issued a pamphlet ex-
plaining the working of their registry and
benefit systems, which were instituted to
defeat the tyranny of the unions. The for-
mation of registry offices Mr seamen was
one of the earliest acts of the federation,and
after a stubborn resistenee on the part of
the union leaders, the object in view was
fully achieved. The system has been large-
ly developed, and is now ascii with great
advantage as a means of checking desertion
and of punishing misconduct. Federation
tickets are issued to union and non-union
men alike, ability and character being the
only tests recognized, and the.benefit-book
which each registered man receives forms a
'continuous record of his discharges and of
his rewards for meritorious conduct at sea.
Up to the present time nearly 100,000 of
those tickets have been given out, so that
when plasters wishto engage crews at the
offices of the federation they have an ample
choice. In cases of necessity crews are
sent on board vessels, bat the council of the
federation do not wish to relieve ships' offi-
cers from the responsibility of choosing
their own men. The benefit fund was estab-
lished as an encouragement to loyal service,
and only seamen whose ticket shows a good
record for six months in a federation ship is
admitted to the privileges of the fund while
first class Naval Reserve men require no
qualification. The council declare that the
federation is not opposed to legitimate trade
unionism, and characterize as baseless the
accusation that they have sought to "smash
the union."' The new unionism, was built
up, they sty, on a system of coercion and
intimidation, but the federation asserted
the freedom of contract and protected men
who were willing to work. The natural re-
sult was the collapse of coercive unions,and
therefore, they add, the union whichper-
sisted in resorting - to tyrannical methods
smashed itself. -

She Had Her Revenge.
" Angelina," said Edwin, "there is a little
question that I have long been wishing to ask
you."
" Yes," she said, opening her eyes very
wide and pretending complete ignorance, al-
though confident that she was fully aware
of its purport. •
" I wanted to ask you whether I ought to
let my moustache grow or not ?"
Gulping down her disappointment she
said :
" I would let it grow if it will grow, but
I'm afraid it is like you—undecided what to
do."
A Great Feature.
The Chicago. Exhibition is going to be
notable chiefly for its features." These
features are characteristic of the people
whose celebration it is, a people noted
for its inventive genius, and for its
singular mixture of iconoclasm with
veneration for things sacred and historic.
No one cares so much for the relics,of the
past as does the American, but his interest
generally takes the, form of whittling or
plundering them. ' No one sets so much
store by rank and title, and yet shows these
so little respect. There is no historic shrine
that has not been thought of for a feature.
The Columbus ship, Shakespeare's house,
John Brown's fort, the Libby prison, even
the Coliseum, declared by the oracle to be
the talisman on whose continuance where
it is depends the continuance of the Eternal
City, have all been selected as features, and
some of them are to be there. In fact, the
United,Statea wilthave to do up her Amer-,ican shrine worship this -year, as hencefort
some of her centres of pilgrimage will be no
more. She will still have Bunker Hill,
however, at least we have not yet heard of
any adequate scheme for carrying that to
the city where it would have no other
historic hills to float it. But antiquities
are not only Old World notions which
Brother Jonathan has been trying to
make features of. He has invited the
Pope and all religions. The Pope was
pleased and will presumably he represented
because he loves the United States, He is
wise. We have not learned whether the
Grand Lama will be represented or not:
There are also invited the Czar and all effete
tyrants, and Mr. Gladstone and all notice-
able men. Among the representatives of
monarchy a very urgent invitation has been
given to the Prince of Wales. Here is a
representative of a sovereign house, who
has no definite occupation and whose pro.
fession, if he has one, is- attending exhibi-
tions. Surely he can be got. If Chicago
fails to secure the Prince as a feature,: after
presenting him with six invitations . on
parchment, each one in a handsome mother-
of-pearl case, it will not be because it has
not done its best to remove from the com-
pliment the appearance of being a fiddler's
invitation. Why should the Prince accept ?
He was fifty years old last October and
somewhat tired of being a feature. He has
seen enough of exhibitions to be absolutely
unimpressionable on that score though all
Chicago should turn itself into show cases
and all its environs into side shows <-and
features. Of -a1T the ellf'ete monarchies that
which he would represent has been the
subject of most American spleen and of all
the royalties he himself has been the butt
of most American jibes. He could look for
neither love nor admiration from the masses,
who would mob him. Why should he come ?
On the other hand, why should he not come.
In Chicago he would probably be as safe from
An archistor Fenian demonism as in the water-
ing places of Europe. Barring uncertainty
on that point every reason seems to be
favorable to his accepting the invitation,
and conquering, as no one better can do, by
his infinite tact ani graciousness, the good
will of a nation nursed in hatred for its
mother country. Great Britain has almost
no reciprocal dislike for the United States,
and values her friendship above that of all
other peoples, and no one better than the
Prince could convey this message from the
mother to the daughter. The American
people would thoroughly appreciate the
cordiality that would thus be manifested.
In the relations of nations almost the great-
est good that could come to mankind in the
present day would be a complete entente'
between Great Britain and the United
States. Both would gain incalculably from
nearer relations, and the world would gain
enormously, for, with these two peoples,
fully at one, there would be a latent power
to impose peace on earth which would be
so thoroughly recognized that it would sel-
dom, if ever, need to be exerted. ` assist digestion, cure headache and biliousness.
