along the street with her little son. and the
Ia.ter picked up On the sidewalk bit OF velvet,

MS nand, thinking the loser might thus be as
cerfainad. After making some purchases in
the nelghoorhood, the lady was about entering

rudest manner by fellow who claimed to keep
shop in the neighborhood, but whose face
was not recognized by any of the bystanders,
ana Who is probably one OF the city's recent
ard least desirable acquisitions in the floating
population way. He claimed to be the loser of

nations of the lady, insisted, with noisy bru-
tality, upon forcing the mother and boy from
tic carriage, and dragging the latter to the
police office as a common thief. A significant
hint from some of the indignant spectators,
however, caused the fellow to beat hasty re-
treat; and sc me time after ward, when the hu--
band of the lady appeared upon the scene and
demanded a retraction OF the charge, the fellow,
who was so ferociously valorous when a timid
woman and child was in the case, absolutely
took refuge behind one of his shop girls!
