CITY INTELLIGENCE.
{ For additional city Intelligence see Third POge.l

Our STREET MUsICIANs.-The organ
grinders, who have had the monopoly OF our
street music Tor SO many years, are now ABOUT
to be outrivslled by the Italian harptsts, VINO
are to be heard in all quarters of the city. me
old time-honored hand-organs, which were the
delight of the Oldest inhabitant when ne was
boy, and his eXecration when he arrived at
maturer years, are now making greater noise
than ever to maintain their OLD tlme-honored
importance. How often have we, when we were
children, stood by with wondering amazement
on our faces to behold the antics OF the monkey,
or the inComprenensible movements OF the auto
matte fgures Even now there are some of
these instruments that one can listen 10 with
pleasure, as their rich heavy notes come out
with all the swelling volume OF church organ,
in the midst of the hustle ano confusion OF the
business quarters of the city. Speaking of
handorpane. who Goes not know the old organ
woman whose cupbosrd-ookng affair grinds
out most doleful series OF anclenttunes, that
can scarcely be heard across the pavement when
all else Is silence. And yet the old woman
appears to have an affection for that venerable
instrument of torture. She hugs il as she turns
the dilapidated handle as If it were OF her own
flesh and blood.
But we would speak more particularly of the
Italian harpists. WithiC the past year or two
there appears TO have been an unusual influx of
these people. Their music is really, in most
cases, very fine, and when accompanied by a
firstrate viJlinist, is far better than the more
pretentlous music of the majority Of our players
on the piano. To the poorer classes che street
music is almost the sole humanizing agent that
comes within their notice.
