The "District Visitor," whose field of labour includes many of the ugliest streets ia Southwark, his headquarters being snugly situate in the midst of the slums that exist between St. George's Church, iv the Borougb, and JBernioiidsey, usually finds enough lo do in making house-to house visits oa those unfortuunte client* whose nimes are entered in his sick list. Occasionally, however, when ha arrives at Ms offica in the morning, he discovers in the letter-box affixed to tbe outer donr a more or less legible scrawl, bepging him to

give immediate attention to some specially urgent case. Sometimes I avail myself of tbe privilo^c of accompanying Mr Visitor. He finds ma waiting for him, and when he ha 3 packed hi 3 capacious black bag with comtoiting things for sick people, we start together. A short time since I was there, and i a the receptacle for postal correspon dence was the following mysterious mes sage, writen on a piece of whitey-brown paper, that seemingly had served as a wrapping for sugar : —"Please, sir, (o ex cuse the liberty I'm taking, but would you kindly call as early as you could iu'tbe morning at our place,' an the poor old man is in a bad way through having swallowed the sours, The doctor has been to see him, and says he can't do nothing more for him than he has, and that mortal fication may set in at heny moment, when he wouldn t live many more hours; so plese come at wonst, as you knows I c.w trust to." Mr Visitor comprehended the

fall meaning of ths message at a glance. Merely remarking, " Well, if tho worst happens, be i 8 not entitled to much sym pathy. I always thought he would try that trick OQca too often," he handed, the scrawl to me, while he busied himself at the cupboard from which he drew supplies for his Invalids. But I could make nothing of it. I could guess for what the word "mortalficatlon" was intended, but what as to the "sours" the patient had swal lowed, which threatened such serious con sequences ? It was the height of the stone* fruit season, and probably he bad been indulging in iinripa plums or damsons. But this could hardly be, because Mr Visitor had said that the calamity was due to a trick the man was commonly addicted to. Nor did the next remark he made on the subject much enlighten me. "It must be something larger than shillings lie has swallowed this time, I should think. Probable he had to bolt tfaem in a hurry, with a policeman's hand on his shoulder. But at the same moment he observed my puzzM ex pression of countenance, and srnmngly -continued, " fou appear to be in the dark as to what it is all about." And then he proceeded to inform me that the individual mentioned on the paper was a "smasher," or, in other words, a dealer in counterfeit coin, "souru," as in criminal phraseology they were sometimes termed; and that when a smasher in pursuit of his nefarious business was hard pressed, and there was danger of his being given into the custody of the police, he Wuuld, if it was possible, and there was no other way of getting rid of them, secretly swallow any other "sours" lie had in his possession, so as to lessen the chances of a conviction. ''But it would seem, on the pro ont occasion," said he, "that Mr Malonej has swallowed more than lie is able to digest." He announced his intention of making his first call at Mr Maloney's r evidence, which wa3 in an ally near Kent-street, and I begged per mission to accompany him, " you may come if you like," said he'; "but I won't answer for your being ad admitted. The man has evidently been guilty of a criminal offence, and the matter may still be in the hands of the police, if that is the case they will naturally be shy of a stranger to them coming on the scene, though they think no harm in trusting me." As it turned out, however, the difficulty he apprehended did not exist. When we reached the house, in an upper back room of which Mr and lira Maloney resided, no objection was made to my going in with Mr Visitor, who introduced me, briefly, as "a friend of mine.'* So reassured, Mrs Maloney proceeded to explain that the affair was out of the hands of the police. Indeed, it could not fairly be said to have been in them, since, although the trades men oa whom her "poor old man" bad tried to " plant the [sour," ihad sent for a _ constable, Mr Maloney in the interim had contrived to put down hi 3 throat such evi dence of his being a "regular liuud " as he happened to have about him, and on his turning out his pockets in the officer's pre sence and indignantly protesting his inno cence, the shopkeeper declined to charge him. ''But he'd bctther have stood his ground—the poor craytherl" wailed the aged Irishwoman, hot tears coursing down liar grimy countenance; "they'd have had com pashin on hisgrey hairs and give him no more than three years at the outside, and now he'll be cowld in his coffin in as many days unless a miracle preserves him." And in truth Mr Maloney seemed in a bad way. Partly dressed he lay groaning on the miserable stump bedstead in the corner, occasionally drawing up his legs with spas modic jerks, and giving uttrance to ejacu latiouß expressive of the pain he was Buffer ing. The place was wretchedly furnished, and on every side there was evidence of abject poverty, but siting by the side of the bed on which the old man was moaning s*d tossing was a young gi r- about eighteen, who called him "Father." and who'was neatly and re«pectably dressed, her aitire being exactly that of a smart servant girl in comfortable service somewhere in the neighbourhood, who having been sent on an errand had seized the opportunity to run in to enquire how her sick father was. She wore a bonnet, but no shawl, and lying on theraggedcounterpanewasastrcet-doorkey, as she bad laid it down, seemingly, when she took to wringing her hands and crying. Bat what strode me at the moment as strange was that though her shoulders were uncovered, and her bonnet just perched on her head and not tied, she wore on her feet a pair of stout laced-up boot 3as though ac customed to mnch more pedestrian exercise than usually falls to the lot pf tnai<te>of-all work. ■ She was as much distressed as her

mother, and I did not wonder at it when I

was informed of the number and dimen sions of tbe "sours" the penitent smasher

had swallowed. In honest coinage it would have amounted to no less than seven shillings, and consisted of two florins'and three separate pieces of half their value. As Mr Visitor had already intimated to me, it was far from being the first time the

old Irishman had bo succeeded in conceal ing incriminating evidence. Indeed, as I was afterwards informed, he was physically capable of performing even more astonnd ing feats than that from which he was now suffering, and on one occasion had "put away" two half-crowns in a similar fashion. But that, as his wife tearfully remarked, " was before they broke his constitution,"

It was unmistakably Mr Maloney's own im pression that his days were numbered (hewas unnecessarily, alarmed as it happened), and his object in sending for Mr Visitor wa3 to inform him of his finccro repentance, and to seek of him. religious consolation. His

eyes, he declared, had never till now been opened to tbe wickedness of wbich, for years,' he had habitually been guilty, while at the same time he vowed that if his life was spared he would rather work hh fingers to the bare bones in earning an honest crust than bo much as touch another "sour," if he iived to be ninety. "I was not aware," remarked Mr Visitor, " that yon had been making a constant business of passing bad coin, although I had reasons for suspecting that you were not quite guiltless in that respect. It does not appear to have brought yon more profit than honest work woald have done, any how." " Not so much, sir, not so much," groaned the penitent man; "It isn't the likes of me that gets the profit." "The lion's share of that goes to those who make the base stuff," said Mr Visitor. " 'Dade, and there you're wrong, sorr," put in the old woman, " it's them the makers work for who get the pull." " You would'nt, I Buppose, tell me who are the makers, if l was to ask you the question ?" my friend remarked, smil ingly. " And if it was me last breath with which I had to answer what you're axiri," groaned the old Irishman, the entombed base coin at the moment causing him a spasm of' anguish, "if it was me last bieatb, sorr, I couldn't tell you. It isn't with the makers that the likes of me has dealings, but with them that can give a big order, and pay down the money, and take away the pieces to safe quarters." "But yon Know where the dealer lives ?" " Not a bit of it;" and this time It was the

daughter, the neat and respectable-looking Vmaid servant," who spoke, and with a readiness that seemed to indicate that she was not altogether unfamiliar with such matters. " What yon want of 'em you buy in the street, Them that has 'em to sell

soon learn what sort of trade you can do, and they supply you accordin'. And all they bring you've got to take and pay for, in eiw they might be watched and cotched with tho 'soura' ou 'cm." I glanced at Mr Visitor, and saw at once that he was no less surprised than myself that the youug woman should display so much knowledge of the busi ness, but with a sood intent he affected otherwise, an-, tnruing t) her, remarked that he hoped ih it her determination to have nothing fmther to do with the wicked ness ia question was us stroug as that de clarod by her fatlur. " I was telling her so iast before you came in, tir,' said the sick man, "It may l>e a paying game witli her just now, but that a eoi us uew, and there's not many that are awake1 to it. It's her mothers wi<h and my own that you would speak to her about it, and get her to break away frow it entirely before trouble overtakes her." The girl sat with her apron over bcr fuc, crying aud sobbing. The wretched m»n oa tiio bed wa3 much affected by her grief. ''.Not that it's for me to blame the poor girl," said he, "if she's in lad haud*, it's myself that helped to place her in 'em. She was out of a eiti vation, sorr, aud I was over-persuaded, and los her do it.'1 And by gentle and judicious questioning Mr Visitor eot out of tho contrita old sinter what it was he bad been over-pcr-uaded to 1> t his danghter do. It was a branch if tho sour planting business in which she was engaged, but it was not in connection with her parents. The individual she worked for waa eu en terprising rascal, who no lunger than five or six years siuce hart started tbe novel idea, and had a goodish few besides tbe vouug Irish woman in his employment. And, without betraying confidence, I may advise shopkeepers generally, and publi cans in par icular, whosa places of busings are iv tbe suburb', to bear in mind the de tails of the pretty plan. It ia a two-banded job, and two women, gent rally an old and a young one manage it. The former carries the steck of base coin and the latter plants it. Usually she is attired like the one in the room with v?, in a tidy cotton dress \yitli a cap and apron, aud as though, be ing ia service in the immediate vicinity, she was sent in a buny to make a pur chase. She is provided with an ulster that covers her, so that she may not attract at tention as she pisses through the streets ; but ia business moments it is slippped off and held by the other woman. And it is not in palt'y pewter sours with which the ■ young vroman has dealings, but in "daudys," which, rendered into in telligible KDglifh, meins imitation gold coin—half-sovereigns and whole one 3. A bottle of gin is the ordinary purchase, and if the " plant come 3 off all ri«ht,"she ie> ceives in exchange for the "dandy" the spirits and Eeventiea and sixpence. The spurious coin is well mede, and its compo sition includes a porticn of gold, but it is not so valuable, but that those employed to put them off aie allowed half-a-crown com mission on a whole dandy, and a shilling on a half one. The spirits obtained bsing mostly labelled and unopened, find areaiy sala at public-houses known to the "dandy master," so that no serious loss is ex perienced ia that direction. Publicans, we are given to understand, aie usually the unfortunate tradesmen fixed on as a mark, barmaids being ea-ily thrown off their guard by the customer's iunoceat ap pearance and manner. But a safer plan, and one more admired by the "sour planter" herself, i* to perambulate streets of tradesmen's shops with her companion, with a sharp look out for spoony shopmen and hobbedehojs ent'usttd with the till. The smart and good-l.oking scrvantmaid customer generally miniaes in sach case 3 to turn her counterfeit into ready money without any difficulty. Indeed, if the young Irishwoman's word might be taken Lr it, and in her then penitent state of mind I think she spoke the truth, the very individual for whom sho now "worked" had himself been at one time a trusted young countermtn at an oil and Italian warehouse at Kensington, who bad been weakly beguiled from the path of rectitude by a fascinating youug female " smasher," •who first made his acquaintance in the pur suit of her nefarious business. It was a case of love at first sight with tho infatuated youth, aud, won by the young servant's en gaging manner and conversation, he showed himself to be such an easy dupe that after the fiist " dandy" was foisted on him a second visit to the shop was ventured on, and again the cheit wa3 successfully per petrated, and on this occasion the foolish fellow begged to be allowed to meet aud walk ont with her. His offer was accepted, and several times they walked out together of evenings, and several other times the young woman called in the day time, and made a trifling purchase, for which she always plid witu what pa;sed as a sove reign or half-sovereign. The business in which the youDg man was employed was an extensive one, and it was difficult to discover who it was that repeatedly re ceived the base coiu, until a watch was set and the innocent shopman was taken in the act, and prosecuted along with the sham servant who bad imposed on him. She was known to the police, and it was shown thatjhe had been seen in her company ont of business hours, and the result was that both were committed to prison for six months, up to this point, one cannot but pity tbe misguided simpleton, but whether it was that while ia pri-on his disposition to honesty became irrevocably tainted, or that he was at heart a rogue all along, he showed himself in the end worthy of neither compassion nor sympathy. W h;m his term of imprisonment expired, hers likewise came to an end, but, instead of shunning her, as we are taught to shun the father ot ievil, he renewed her acquaintance, possibly 'with the object of seekiug an explanation into the circumstances that resulted in their mutual conviction. But, instead of being shocked and disgusted at what she had to tell him, he resolved to go into the "smashing" business himself, with the yonng woman as his partuer, and on the new system, according to the yonng Irish woman, they were thiiving and making money. It was not in the narrative form, as here presented, that the old man's daughter made these revelations, but in a discursive and fragmentary way, urged thereto seem ingly by her father's alarming condition and probably approaching end, to make a' clean breast of it with a view to favourably impressing Mr Visitor, to whom she looked for assistance towards enabling her to turn over a new leaf and lead an amended life. The old man was equally con trite, and ia his intervals of compa rative ease from the persecution of the in ternal "sours seemed rather anxious than otherwise to discourse concerning the rascally trade to wlrch be owed bis present tribulation. Be infoimed us that small "sours" were easitr to ''work off" than -the large sort, and that, if it was worth while, the sixpenny sort could be got rid of in any number. But lhey didn't pay. For well-made " pieces" that would bear in spection and handling tho price was two and-nine-pence a dozen; leaving a profit of trreepencerfarthinj; on each, But ont of this had to be deducted the price of what was purchased to ch-ingc the bad sixpence —a penn'orth of gin and half a pint of beer generally—and, oue way and another, it was "bid business." Tha shilling "sour" was the handiest, and paid bet ter than the two-shiQing or half-crown because when it came to that value people took the trouble to examine in, To Work the "sours" successfully, and so as to earn a living at ir, a man must hava expe rience, which, among ether things, will teach him that a counterfeit coin is never so likely to be insfautly detected 'as when laid on a mahogany counter. .Pewter coun ters are far preferable, but it is best, if pos sible, to avoid counters altogether. Fat this reason the butcher becomes an easy victim. The greasiness of his fingers pre vents him from judging by touch the spuri ous coin from the genuine, and he has no counter on which to "iing"it. But a belter " mark" than the butcher is the fish monger ; and Mr Maloney, brought so low, and delighting in abject confegsion, told us that he was "put off" as many as fifteen shil ling " sours" on a Saturday nigbt among tbe poor' fish ttalikeepers in Whitecrosa-street and the New-cut at Lambeth. But these were " satire" of a very superior kind, and had cost Mr Maloney four shillings a dozen first hand. Much more curinus informa tion was imported to us by the prostrate; old sinner, but since to publish it might be of more service to rogues than honest folk I refrain, merely mentioning in conclusion that 6ns of- Mr Maloney's revelations affords me ah opportunity of doiDg an act of justice for that much-maligned body of London toilers, the omnibus, conductors. It is not an uncommon beiief that the ill-paid and hard-worked dmdge3 of the monkey board are tometimrs tempt d to supple ment their scanty earnings in the way indi cated. So far from this being the case, if Mr Maloney spoke ttntb, 'bus conductors are systematically victimised, the "spur planter" finding it worth while, especially on rainy night",when the conductor's hands are wet and benumbed; to make a few two penny omnibus journeys after • dark, tho profit being in each case sixpence in tbi shilling after the fare is paid,

Ab already intimated, this immoral old smasher's ailment did not, after all, prove fatal, neither did his disposition to repent, ance last longer then the pains in his stomach continued. I have not seen him myself, bat Mr Visitor tells me that he occasionally catches sight ot him : auJ, from tho shy way in which the Irishman avoids him, he has little doubt that, since that morning's conftssiou, he has many more " sours " to answer for.

Medical Science of the Future.

AT the opening meeting of tho Sanitary Institute of Great Britain, Dr. lticbardson, in the course of his inaugural address, said : " There has recently besn called into ex istence anew society, under whoso summon* we now meet. The society has assumed to itself tnc expressive name of the Sanita-y liutituto of Great Britain It starts as a voluntary effort by men and women who are willing and anxious to give effect to ■ those teachings of sanitary acienco which tho past half century have revealed. It invites all who are concerned to utiliso the knowledgo that has been acquired in that time. It wishes to encouragonowreeearches. But it has fer its most anxious care to render useful to mankind at large tho accumulated store of knowledge which, at this moment, lies ready for so many grand purposes relaliDg to health. It accepts as its object, work lor htalih, health of all the human family. The three great powers with which our society will havo to treat are the political, tho medical, the social. From each of them wo shall expect constant assistance. To one or other of them, what ever we do, our work will be transmitted 01 transferred. They will biing it into practical form and effect, or they will reduce it to nothingues?. Wu can suggest and set forth initiatives, aud with that our functions aro complete in each particular branch to which we addiess ourselves. It Is our special duty to keep this special fact steadily in . I view, and to limit our labours by it, With1 true nobleness of purpose, true medicine bas been the first to strip herself of all mere pretences to cure, and has stood boldly forward to declare, as a higher philosophy, the prevention of disease. The doctrine .of absolute faith ia tbe principle of prevention indicates the existence of a high order of thought, of broad views on life and health, on diseases aad their external origins, on death and its proper placa iv nature. The doctrine of absolute faith in curative medicine, of power vested in the hands of a distinct sect or class, and exercised by them as by legal right, end without the assistance or interference of those upon upon whom it is exercised, indicates a low standard of knowledge, a too confiding spirit in tho wisdom of a minority, a departure too wide from the safe law of self ■ preservation, an ignorance of the avoidable causes ot diseases, a blindness, and therefore an unnecessary expoiure to danger, an overweening and sudden fear of dangers of all kinds, little and great, and a hasty aud thoughtless pursuit after that mode of rescue from dangers of disease which claims for itself tho greatest preten sions, and boasts of the greatest successes. It shall remain as one of tin: glories of medicino that she herself has first seen these truths, and, willing to sacrifice her own interests to truth and light, has put them forward without fear—without ro ward. In the science of prevention medi cine takes, in fact, all the world with her. The science becomes a political, a social, as well as a medical study. It appeals to every mind. * * * * I need not say tnat ihe ' pathie3' will go. The ' pathies' of all kinds are as dead as door nails, and wait only to be decently interred in a com mon grave. In time the word cure will go altogether. It is clear already that there is indeed no such thing. A man botn to live through a given cycle lives through it free of disease, unless he be stricken from with out. If he be stricken, and by tho stroke tho natural functions, by the exercise of which he lives, are not so disturbed but that they can swine back again ia due order, he may recover. If he be stricken beyond this he will die. Nature will pur» sue her own course undisturbed by either event. She will make no special effort to kill, and assuredly she will put out no special hand to save. A man may inter vene, and may by knowledge put the striekvn body into such a condition that it may swing back into na'ural course, where by he will have put it into a condition in which it will not die. This is the very highest development of medical art resting on science. But it is not cure in the com mon meaning of that term. By the pro gress of sanitiry scieuce, and by its in fluence on practical medicine, we shall attain these petfect rules of management after the iufliction of the stroke of disease; and I do not doubt that the art of placing the stricken under such conditions that he may not die will for ever afford scope for tbe inventive genius of man, The more immediate triumphs will, how over, come in that part of thu work which is purely pre ventive. Down from tbe skies comes the forked lightning and lays a man prostrate. It is a question for the ages who shall place that man in a condition under whichhe shall certainly- swing back again into life. Bnt the preventive art that puts up a metallic rod to divert the lightning from other men-that is the present triumph of human skill, skill which, carried to per fection, shall prevent the stroke and put out. the co called curative art by removing the necessity for its application."

Stanley,

"I think I've met him. Wasn't he a St. Bridget's man?"

" Well, Milbank was really a good fellow "but he had been brought up at home— coached at the family rectory ; yon under stand ? He never got into scrapes, like the rest of us, and in fact was the most irreproachable soul you ever saw.

Of course he got a cup of coffee for her, and they were having a pleasant chat in bis sitting-room, when the scout comes in with a card, 'Mr f.dvrard Mandelay.' " ' The gen'man sends his compliments, sii, and hopes it would be convenient for you to see his rooms. He had these rooms, he says, sir, when he was up here filty years ago, and he has a great fancy to see them again.' "'Very natural, very natural, I'm sure. I shall be delighted, Thomas.

Agatha was rather shy, and very glad to take refuge in the scout's closet.
