' ' ' . ' ' ' "tTrmsIinder waterT THE LONG I8LANU OYSTER BUSINESS. '.'S An Industry tbat Yields a Good Revenue but Ocmandi Hard Work. [From tho New York Sod.] The oyster market at the foot of West 10th street is one of the sights of the city. From a distance it looks like a very compact row of two-story wooden buildings, modelled like cross-road groceries. ? Ifrom across the street the buildings arc seen to float on big square boxes tnnt rise and fall with tne tide, so that while j the main lloors of the buildings are oc- | casionally on a level with the street they are usually some distance below it. The houses are moored a few feet away from the bulkhead, and arc reached by wooden bridges with cross pieces nailed on them so that people will not slip when passing up and down. The houses contain two rooms and a basement. The first floor is the salesroom, the second room is the place where no end of tongs and dredges and dunnage for the oyter boats arc stowed, and down in the basement, or what a sailor would call "'tween decks," is the Ktnrnrnnm for fhr? ovfitp.rs ivhiln fiwniHno a customer. Each building is the headquarters of a wholesale dealer. Behind these buildings lies the oyster fleet. The oysters sold in the murk et usually come from the shores of New York Bay, or from the coasts of Long Island and Connecticut. They are brought here Irom the beds in little sloops that will hold from 400 to GOO bushels each, but there are a good many schooners in the trade, and many Bteam tugs. The oysters from Virginia waters which find their way to this market arc brought in smart schooners and by rail from Baltimore. These vessels are packed so closely in the slip that a Stranger would find it difficult to get enough dear water to flnof o vnitrl in o clnnrl r* mnefc stand up like poles in a hop yaid, only much closer together. And yet it is no uncommon thing to see. a fleet of a dozen sloops arrive, and without creating any disturbance worm their way through the compact mass in waiting. A well-dressed'business man stood on a big timber stretching along the bulkhead before the oyster market yesterday and contentedly watched the driver of a cart dump a load of empty oyster shells on the bulkhead, while two other men in blue flannel shirts carried baskets of oysters from one of the buildings to a two-horse wagon, to be carted to some customer about town. \ In answer to a question the business man said: "Those oysters in the wagon are from Freeport, Long Island." fe. "Natural beds there?" "Not that I ever heard of. They are obtained from beds that are cultivated about as carefully as market gardens. Jones' Inlet sets up in behind a long range of land dunes off Freeport, and from the dunes to the main land there is a stretch of salt meadows that are cut up in all directions by natural ditches. Where the bottom is good the inhabitants of the village stake olf patches of three acres each, and sow their seed oysters. About everybody in Freeport is engaged in the oyster business, but ther-is ulentv of land thereabouts for others to rent for that purpose." 4'Rent?" "Bless you, yes. TTiey pay bigger rent for land under water than for choice furming lands in some places. The price is $5 an acre. 'Where does the seed come from?" "A good deal of it from New Haven. The Newport people buy of the oyster farmers who own the beds near New Haven, which are sowed every year with oyster shells like those just dumped out of the cart. The spat from the ,<<| oysters in the proper season falls on the shells, and after a time the little oyster shells are developed. Thus it sometimes happens that two or more oysters are brought up adhering to each other. The New Haven people charge 50 cents a bushel for the rakings from the bed, old shells and new,Jjust as they come up with the dredge. The freight to Freeport is about 10 cents a bushel more. Some of the oystermen get their seed up the Hudson. Little sloops nan be seen at anchor gathering them during the season all the way from Spuyten Duyvil to Tarrytown. They have the flavor of sludge acid when taken up, but they lose that after a year on Freeport beds. The New Haven oysters are usually transplanted in the spring v hen two or three seasons old. The oystermen usually expect to take up from 500 to 600 bushels of oysters from an acre, aitnougn the average is rather less. As oysters sell from $1.25 to $2 a bushel the skilful oysterman is pretty sure to , make $1,000 a year or more oil of his three acre farm under water. He has to hire a man to help him get up his crop when the season comes on, aud he has some expenses for his boat and tools. . , Then he has to pay for watchmen who j, I guard the bods from pirates day and '/ night. The work is very hard, for the t oysters arc not marketed till cold wea\ ther comes on, and if there is any place I - where the wind is piercing it is out on I those meadows. James Bennett and ! Thomas Bcecham of Mount Binai nar| rowly escaped being frozen to death I while fishing in the Sound last winter. They got caught in the ice and had to I pass the night there." k "Are the oysters taken up by men on I the decks of the sloops?" I 4'No; the oysters are taken up in duckI breasted yawls, carrying from tea to I twelve bushels. The yawl's cargo is ? /? dumped into the little fresh water S.stream called Mill Creek, and allowed W to remain over night. They would be I too salt if taken from the beds to market, I but for use raw 1 much prefer the oyster ft from the bed to the one that has been W\' freshened. ^"The oyster planting industry is giuwiug jujuuijr, wuiib iui; pruuucuveness of the natural beds that supply part of New York's trade is decreasing. Tho oystermen do not live in peace with each other. There are plenty of pirates cruising around ready to dredge up the oysters from private beds. Last winter the oystermen at Glen Cove fired on the "V'A pirates with rifles several times, but no one was hurt. The trustees of the town of Huntington leased sections of the natural beds in the waters of the town, and those who had taken leases objected. $ ' ' . V . ' ' V*/, ; k- , V . : . * ?,>/rP'.-v-'.\ls v* X'% * '""i 'VV " -r The matter got into the courts, and 1 Justice Bartlett settled it by sustaining the course of the trustees. The planters spend $800,000 a year in seeding the bay, and gather a crop worth $700,000. During the past year Great Paconic Bay lias been seeded, and the Suffolk Board of Supervisors have passed an act making it a midemeanor for any person to throw overboard a starfish or periwinkle .in Gardner's or Peconic Bay, or their tributaries, under a penalty of $2t?or each offence. Those and the mud coial insect are the worst enemies of the Long Island Sound oystermen. In New York Buy the trouble is with the men who are dredging out harbors. Hundreds of acres off beds along the Jersey shore liavo been smothered under tho mud. irom the dump scows. Some indignant oytermen followed a tow, in a'schoor.er, not long ago. The captain of the tug threatened to run them down if they did not sheer off, but when he failed to scare them, he offered to dump on beds located in another direction if they would let him off. Maryland has an armed oyster fleet to protect her oyster beds. Jersey ought to have one swift steamer armed with a howitzer and commanded by a man who is not afraid to shoot." "The export trade in oysters," said another dealer, "is about fifteen years old. A Fulton Market man began the trade. It has had its ups and downs like other export trades. Blue Points hold the first place in the English market. They are packed in barrels hold ing about 1,200 each, with the deep shell down to hold the juice. It costs about $1.25 for freight and packing, and the barrel sells on the other side for a little over $5 on the average. They have sold foi $2. England consumes about 180,000 barrels of oysters in a year. Our total export to foreign countries runs from 80.000 to 100,000 barrels. A great many oysters are shipped to England and planted on English beds, where .hev get the copper tast' eculiar to English oysters. American oysters reach the market over there about ten or eleven days after they are shipped, and they are generally in prime condition. The heaviest shipments arc made in the spring. Last spring a Norwalk, Conn., dealer shipped a quantity to tho order of the Queen. His neighbors are laughing at him yet 'for having sandpapered the shells." ALL ABOUT MOTTOES. Brother (Snrrtncr GItcr the tiiinsK 11 Club Home Good Advice. doan1 go much on mottoes an sieh," said Brother Gardner as he opened the meeting on the usual degree and winked to Samuel Shin to open the alley window.

How Conscience Honey was Paid. The St. John (New Brunswick) Globe' says: A clerical gentleman called at a ticket agency in the city and asked the price of two first class tickets for Halifax. The agent said that the cost would be $15. "Then," said the clergyman, "how far could I travel on a $;> ticket?" "To Point du Chene orMemranicook," replied the clerk. "I will take two tickets for Halifax, also a ticket for Point du Chene," said the divine. The tickets were handed over to the reverend gentleman, who, after paying $15 for them, immediately tore up the two first class tickets for the trip to Halifax. The agent naturally looked in astonishment at this proceeding. After the pasteboard had been scattered in pieces and deposited in the scrap basket, the clergyman turned to the agent and said: "I suppose you wonder at what I have done?'' The agent answered: "Well, yes, sir, I do." "Well," said the clergyman, "a man with whom I was talking told me ho had cheated the railway out of $15, and his reinorBe was so great that he gave me the money to pay it over to the railway department. I do not know of any better way of squaring the account." x-oisoNBD.? ine mucn-aousea arug clerk is not the only person liable to accidents with poisons. A reccqt case is cited in /Jeannerette, La., in which the father {of two sick children gave the medicines prescribed for each ol them to tlie other, thus killing both children, j The Last of His Race. A good story was told us the other day about a purse-proud nobleman who was travelling through the rural districts of Sweden. Over >u the country the people do not have quife as much respect for the title aristocracy us in some other localities on the Continent. One day this nobleman came rolling up to a country tavern, and as he stopped his carriage, he called out in an imperious tone,? "Llorscs, landlord, horses here at once 1" **I am very much pained to inform you, my lord, that you will have to wait something over an hour before fresh horses can be brought in," replied the landlord. "How!" violently exclaimed the noble man; "this to me? my man, I demand fresh horses, and at once!" Thon nlwi>rvin(r two frpsli find slf^ek looking animals, which were being led uj to another carriage, he said,? "For whom are those horses?" "They were ordered for this gentle man," answered the landlord, pointing tc a tall, slim individual a few paces distant. "I say, my man," called out the noble man to the slim gent, "will you let m< have those horses if I pay you a libera bonus therefor?" "Not much," answered the slim gent "I intend to use them myself " "This to me!" exclaimed the haughty nobleman. "That's what I said," replied the slin man, "Perhaps you a-rc not aware who ] am?" roared the now thoroughly agitated and irate nobleman. "I am, sir, Field marshal Baron Geo. Sparre. the last and only one of my race." "1 am very glad to hear that, said th< slim man, stepping into his carriage. "II would be a terrible thing to think thai there might be more of you coming. I air inclined to think that your race will be t foot-race." A Misslssippiaa's Little Artifice. A few days ago a rich planter boarded i steamer off Natchez. He purchased a pa per from a newsboy and was soon lost ii its perusal. "Colcnel," said a bland young man, r few moments after, '-you have jus! dropped this," handing him a fifty dollai note. "I reckon not," said the old gentle UJUlIf lie UVUIIUUMTU U1S Bptuiutivn. "I just picked it up under your chair,' replied the young man, "and see no othei way to dispose of it. However, since il seetns to belong to neither of us, we might just as well divide it." The plan worked wcH. The old ,gcn tleman passed over twenty-five dollars ir change, and the young man saunterec carelessly out on land. A few minute! nfter the vessel had taken to water th< old gentleman presented the fifty dollai note to the clerk in payment for his fare, "Counterfeit!" exclaimed the clerk, and then for the first time the whole trutl dawned upon the old man's mind.
