']} Here was desolation, indeed.
'The old, old sea, as one in tears, Comes murmuring, with foamy lips, And knocking at the vacant piers, Calls for his long-lost multitude ofships. ' The towboat and the railroad had done their work, and done it well andcompletely. The mighty bridge, stretching along over our heads, haddone its share in the slaughter and spoliation. Remains of formersteamboatmen told me, with wan satisfaction, that the bridge doesn'tpay. Still, it can be no sufficient compensatio...n to a corpse, to knowthat the dynamite that laid him out was not of as good quality as it hadbeen supposed to be.
The pavements along the river front were bad: the sidewalks were ratherout of repair; there was a rich abundance of mud. All this was familiarand satisfying; but the ancient armies of drays, and struggling throngsof men, and mountains of freight, were gone; and Sabbath reigned intheir stead. The immemorial mile of cheap foul doggeries remained, butbusiness was dull with them; the multitudes of poison-swilling Irishmenhad departed, and in their places were a few scattering handfuls ofragged negroes, some drinking, some drunk, some nodding, others asleep.
