s'iONDOM BTREKT CHARACTERS. 11Y (iEOIUiK M. TOWLE. How apt aro people who visit foreign countries to iutcrc.st thcmeclvcs exclusively with tho material works of mm, instead 01 ob.scrviRZ man lumIt I In gazing at cathedrals, castles ami palaces, they aro jrono to forget that n.nht about thero. 13 the most curiom neht of all a community whoso Tiaooer ami cuttoun, in little thing-), ro now to them and should bo roost atorciitiDir. To mv miod. it ia far iorc intcrcstin? to ritlo on tho top of n otnaibua. in London, from Kentih town to Charing CroM, thn to vamlcr through WtMtminstor Palaco, rto climb to tho crosj of tit. I'uuTa. 'or from that cyric, as it were, you lay gazo down upon an ever varying .ndshiltin? Panorama, wliich shows on in turn tho many-aiJcd phases of iho London character. Hero ia tho cockney, tho shopkeeper what the French call Ic jteuplctn masse. You ptoa thousand faces all unmistakably English, ruddy, hardy, Btraifchtiorward and practical yet faces which tell tales of widely divergent traits, lor each of whom you may comi 'Oho a ncparato history. How liflernt aro they from our own Yankee physiog.-omy and how different from tho Balio , sprightly Frenchmen and women I Tho shops, too, havo great interest, with their inexhaustible variety of warcH, many of them quite unhtmliar to tho Yankee eye. And hero let mo noto that of lato you seo jnny inoro Yaokoo nicknaeks and inventions in tho London shops than you used to. "Tho last American wonder I" stares mo everywhere in tho f .co as I pass tho great advertisement t ards on tho Holborn Viaduct and l irrington street; hero and there my eyes fall upon '(Tho great Yankco inv. ntion tho patent gridiron I" " Vmcrican bar-room all tho last Now York mixed drinks!" "Ileal American Desjro troupe consisting of Ji rmer elavca in tho Southern States" - and 80 on ad infinitum. You havo no idea of tho interest which tho Lontl - ners of lato -sinco tho war tako in American affairs. American books rr) sold everywhere; you find Araeri. in papers in every newsroom and it. tel; Members of Parliament aro nstantly quoting America as an ilin Uration of this or that policy; and A ncrican jokes form tho Rtaplcs of t l rco-quartcrs of tho "fun" columns of the weekly journals EARLY MORNINU CALLERS. To return to tho London streets, i r 1 havo wandered a littlo from th ;m every city has its peculiar oiodj and rights; but in order to jr and kco them, you must not go to a sluggard. You must tako l'oor Kichard's advice, and bo up bctimcp. I is in tho early morning that many t tho London "institutions" which ! vo been instituted theso many cent's ica, aro to ho studied. Tho poor !" ,ks who administer io maoy of tho 1 . t Io comforts to tbo Londoner tho "early morning callers," as they aro i.n ned r tho Londoners themselves must tun out of bed in tho small h j irs of tlu morning, whilo their rat1 w.B aro lazily ensconsed anion? their feathers and pillows. Among thounf'hionablo "morning calls," to which Jut. London households aro liablo.it is iuii'd to pay which has tho precedence; per hap.) it is tho sweep, or tho washerwoman, or tho charwoman, who has coma by tho earliest dawn of a midsummer morning to begin turning tho l.iMiso "out o' windows," scraping and rubbing and moving furnituro from i-t!lar to garret. Tho sweep, if ho is tin" Erst on tho spot, begins his hoarso 1 lorning song by starliht, to tho accompaniment not so very grateful to iho inmates of tho street door-bell and knocker. Ho rings and rings, -'. .- ring all the while, snowor no snow, until tho bolts nro drawn, tho door- . f; i in falls, and ho is heard stamping his way down stairs, t3oon thero is a P'-rtenlious rumbling heard near your head, through tho wall, ns if bricks and mortar wero parting company; it is tl 0 sweep's many-jointed broom c!e ni.ig the chimney's throat; itrakes an.! scrapes and rakes from lireplaco to roof without cessation, and you u;t bid good by to your "second ot nip" for that morning at least, iin work over, the sooty operator kcts his pay, shoulders his bag, and you may hear his shrill, hoarso cry, as ho recedes from tho house. Uo r i o iday mornings you havo no penco, (r hero is tho washerwoman. Tho L -i don washerwoman has not, to put a ti.10 point on it, tho patienco of Job, n u even of tho chimney sweeps. She In -1 no notion of standing out thero in thoruist and i'eg, whilo tho servant i i !y puts on her dress. Sho rings a si . t, sharp lou 1 peal, and beforo that quito died out, sho pulls at it itK i n; and, that still clanging, she r,i 1 ps tho knocker and drives her asr . t homo by a thud which Btartlo .i ; y soul from his bed. Tho good ! i.'.y docs uothing by halves, and it r; gjast now her object to get into fi house, sho loses no energy in u. ii cvinc her purpose. Ilesides, af1. r her longwalk through tho mingled IV ' ind darkucss. sho wants thatgenial 1; p r.f tea teal that universal resort of V,,' British matron, from Duchess to I jar which is to prefaco her long .li work, and tho making of which w J l bo tho first thing that sho will at1 to alter lighting the kitchen firo i duty of which slio always relieves 'lid Jy ou washing days. It' tho wori v woman, after penetratins tho l.:ine, finds things to her mind, you l'.-ir nothing more of her; but if any thing perchance goes wrong if tho i.un of tea rvoves a failure, or tho wa- !; r butt is .frozen, or tho lluo is smoky then she tako estrone measure wttn '.;;r toneuc, which is, you may bo sure, u capable organ. CHARWOMAN AND MILKMAN '"he charwoman is a far humbler individual. She has been knocked Oiu Jt tho world too much to have .n 1 h boldness or Self-assertion. Her waoderiog lilo. aunts, and privations vj taken a fiao I.nti-ih quality of , U assertion quite, out of her. She generally tho widow ot some work man, wuo uas iun uer wun r small family, in whoso support and r.ri.nriog up sho is assisted by tho ihiritable: perhaps tho "out-door j ;t?mco of tho work-houd. Oaco a t.' rvant, she now cultivates tho patr' .nge of her old mistress; is but too f '-. I to work for them by tho day, and j; grateful for tho trifles of food or othing which aro often added to tho s pay, tor ino sane 01 ncr lamcrchildrcn. Sho looks forward to ' time when they shall be establish1 in life, and when she may onco more 0 at liberty to re-cngago herself to r or other of her old mistresses. J'etween six and seven in the mornsi tr there is a sharp pull at the bell, , owed at once by a loud cry, at first mysterious to tho Yankeo visitor. -1 : r a r f:i ! ! '

milkman ha3 to Bupp'y some hundred and fifty families, whoo breakfasts depend for their comfortable completion upon his punctuality. Biddy must bo up and waiting for him; and ho is very peremptory in insisting upon not being delayed. But ho is, nevertheless, a good-natured soul; and if perchance Biddy does fail him for onco, ho will leave tho modicum of milk in a little can, stowed away in Homo snug corner near the door, or lower it into the area by a string and hook -sho returning tho can when ho comes round with tho afternoon's supply. In tho London streets tho postmcn, with their bluo coat?, red collars, and gray bags swung over their

shoulders, aro uoiquuous, ana you aro always running across them. How soon you will receive your letters from them depends somewhat on tho dtstanco you happen to bo from tho great dingy-pillared Central l ost Ullico in St. Martin's lo Grand. Thousands of letters especially thoso addressed to sentimental young ladies of tho upper class aro read every morning in bed, and I huapect that it is no common treat; but my own lodgings aro too distant for that, and tho postman's blunt doublo slam bangl on tho street knocker comes just about the timo Biddy is mounting from tho kitcheu, weighted down with my breakfast tray. Biddy, though not over quick to aniarcr tho ordinor7 summons to tho door, is very impatient for nomo reason or other, to reach tho door when tho postman knocks; whether it bo that sho has a sweetheart beyond tho Atlantic, from whom sho expects a billot doiix. or whether tbo postman himself lias been particular in his attentions, it would bo impertinent to ask. Close upon tho heels of tho postman comes tho dustman, with his hobnailed shoes, who scorns oblivious to everybody and everything but his immcdiato business regarding house keepers and maids merely in tho light of producers of dust, of which they aro tho undoubted and exclusivo pro prietors, and they aro not far wrong: for the dust is theirs by contract, and they know it; and tako good care to show that they know it. They como at regular times, which it is quite impossible to foresee, empty their trea sury, tbo dust box. ana Lear tno con tents off with noisy marching and countermarching, husky demands for beer money, accepting it with a growl, and bundling off without moro ado. BREAD, GREENS AND NEWSPAPERS. As I sit at my broakfast of stout English rolls, luiov English steak and most abominablo English coffoc, several "morning callers," ono after another, disturb the placid current of my contemplations. Thero is tho baker'a boy, a rosy and withal a most impudent youth, with a voice liko a brass trumpet, and a faco liko a brass door plato, who has brought a littlo black handcart, with rolls steaming from tho oven and rolled up in blankets to keep the steam in them; he bawls out "li'k-a-a-r-r-rl" aa though ho was surprised into bawling and didn't mean to, and ho bangs his basket on tbo door-step fiercely, as if to say that you mnt. tako tho bread whether or no, and his errand over, ho is off liko a shot to explodo clsowhero. Next comes tho tattered and forlorn figuro of a girl, "with pensivo countenance and air of grief," who sings along tho streets, plaintively, and with unocrtain voice, and who appears as regularly as tho breakfast hour arrives. Her song is old, and she has repeated it over and over these many years "Buy my cresses, fresh and greon! buy, como buy!" Sho leads a weary 1 if 0 of it; in all weather, sho buys her stock at tho Farringdon market long cro tho sun has risen, and trudges not less than twenty miles each day to get rid of it. In tho spring timo theso cries aro varied by tho "Yarmouth bloater," as ho is called, bringing round his fish to sell; he has a hollow, ram's-horny voice, which makes you shudder io your shoes, with a salty look, and seacolored from his dress to his face, hands and hair. Anon thero is a sudden chorus, which wells round tho corner in a moment a multitude ot eager boy voicesand presently, if you are seated at your window on tho ground floor, you aro besieged with these pcrtiuacious infants, who press upon you tho respcctivo claims ot tho Duly I'rcssl ielcgraphl .standard !" "Globe !" and so on; or they hasten from door to door, delivering tho damp sheets in the letter boxes for tho breakfast reading of tho people. Sometimes they thrust them under tho doors, or shy them in at tho open doors, or shy them in at tho open parlor windows, or send them whirling against Biddy's cap in the area thus combining, with true gamin art, pleasuro with business. CATS' MEAT MAN. But perhaps tho most unique personago of all theso morning callers is one who emits a sound from between his lips quito beyond, at least, Yankeo experience. To tho Londoner who charges us with talking through our notes by all means commend tho London "Cat-meat man." His voice is all nose. It is his nostrils, and not his pnlate, which articulate. About ten in the morning you may hoar him everywhere. He goes along rapidly, in a whito blouso and dusty gray felt hat, with a small basket on his arm. His cry, as nearly as I can imitate it on paper, is something liko this: "Cutss hmcat hmcat hmeat hmo at I" exclusively through his nose. As ho g)cs along tho street, mingled with his curious shout, you hear a chorus of lively and eager caterwauline from all tho cats in the neighbor hood around; which como jumping and bounding out ot the doors and up the areas, rush up to tho bringer of" their morning breakfast, and follow him in a loudly mowinggroupuntil ho stops. Tho "cats' meat" is simply horse Jtcsh, boiled, cut in thin slices. tnrouga several ot which a narrow stick is punched. Ono of theso sticks with, say four or fivo slices, is sold to the mistress ot the house for a penny, and supplies all tho numerous feline 1 - r 1 , , ,, ... innauiiauis 01 uer nouscnoid with a hearty morning meal. 8N0W BIRDS. As one lolls in bed somo gloomy, murgy, JLjOnaon lofgy winter s morn ing, wondenog whether we shall not havo to light the gas to dress by, our ears sre greeted by a characteristic noise which is peculiar to that dis mal season. It is a sort of clatterine. crunching, rasping on the street stones, echoing from every side, up and down tho streets, and mingling with tho eouna 01 voices shouting every now and then grutUv and hoarsclv. This hints that during tho night thero has been a fall of snow heavy enough to give roads and Davcmont n. wbitn shroud soma inches deep; for snow in Iondon never reaches to tho dignity of bciog measured, as in New England, py feci oui is aounaantly content with inches, mere 13 no need to crawl out to the window to ascertain tho fact; tor wo hear the snowbirds as facetious Cockncydom is pleased 'rWn couv. r.t..rs-.', . "'- ?i!'i.r, tr-.-.-. ; " - t',? li;;-? for-

lcavo their beds if, indeed, they aro happy in having beds to leave before diybreak in tho dreariest season of tho year, and hasten forth in the damp and cold, duly armed with brooms, brushes, shoveLs, spades, hoca, picks, fire-pans everything they can beg or borrow, to tho nearest suburb, there thero to earn a few pence by laborious, back-bcarking work, under a rude and bleak sky. They arc truly a pertinacious rac?, besieging tho doors, quito incapable of taking "no" for an answer; and, sticking to their point, in npifco of our iterated refusal and rebuff. Tho easiest way, as well as tho most humane, is to comply with their demands for "jist clcanin away tho snow a bit." Thero is an Act of Parliament behind them requiring every citizen to havo

tho snow shoveled from his pavement and this makes their areumcnts difficult to refute. You won't catch a "Snow-bird," either, who is ignorant of said Act : and, if you kick agains-t the pricks, ho will throw it your face, and annihilate you. What tho wretched "Snow-birds" do for a crust when the snow does not spread its tablecloth for their breakfast for they aro tho poorest and wtctchcdcst of London paupers whero tho thousands of famished boys and youths, and half-clad, half-grown girls, find tho means of satisfying their hunger and sheltering their rasrecdne.3, wlilo the dreary London winter drng-j its lazy length alone, Heaven knows, 1 don't. With tho "Snow bird" tho "winter water carrier," though a far moro pr3spcrou3 personage, ha3 a sort of kinship. When the frost plugup the water pipes, and half London goes down to breakfast unwashed, ho is suro to make his appcaranco and to tako advantago of tho " perfect blockade " to ruu in his own goods. JIo is indispensable to tho blockade Londoner until tho thaw sets in and upsets his trado. Ho is a regular industrial, however, and no mcro supernumerary Bitcllito of Jack Frost; ho is on confidential terms with tho turnock of tho "New ltiver Company," and ho claims respectability aa tho solo proprietor of a yoko and a pair of cumbrous pails. He ia the staunch ally of Biddy, who is not usually inclined to cxposo her bare, though plump, arms to tho cast wind, in order to get water from tho street-plugs and so burdens mistress with a charge of several pennies daily to havo tho water carrier dispose the necessary liquid cozily in tho back kitchen vats. For this help, ho is not loth to help her in turn, and may bo seen bringing in her kindling wood, carrying messages to tho grocer or tho butcher, and mending a dropsical pipe in that apartment of every British mansion below stairs tho scullery to save her from being flooded in that anxious interval between tho arrival of the thaw and that of tho plumber.
