"A Hard Case. On Friday evening, about 0!
O'Clock, our attention was attracted by crowd
of persons congregated on the pavement in Bal
timore street, between Gay and Holiday sts.,
and OH edging in to see what was to be seen, we
found small boy, about 8 or 10 years of age,
dressed in very ragged suit who was begging
money. A person in the crowd asked him why
he did not go home, and not remain out so late
at night, especially as there was heavy rain
coming up? The young ''shaver" replied sthat
you couldn't catch him going home yet, as he
had only begged 10 l-2 cents during the day, /
and his mother always whipped him ifhe came
home with less than "quarter." The crowd /
gave him few coppers, and he started off up
the street to beg the balance necessary to make
his ''quarter." If the little fellows story be
true, he has a mother who disgraces her sex,
but we are slow to believe that there is so little
feeling in a female breast
