papers of Washington. l have no more to
say at present. Your old newsboy, Frank
Carr.
A little handy legged colored boy, known
as Paul, forced his way to the front, and
squaring himself, commenced as follows:
Mr.. Presidum Fitz: A cry tOm the crowd,
Dry up, yous tellers; lets hear what dc
mokes got to say."l

Here some enthusiastic young rooster ex-
claimed, Bully for the nlgger:' and Paul
retired amid the applause OF his confreres.
Johnny o 'Dwyer thought that the News
boys Association ought to make some ar
rangemenc in case "thcm councils passed
that ere law He had asked dry goods
seller on the Avenue what they should do
in such an event. and in accordance with
his suggestion he offered the following reso-
luton:
Resolved bv the Newsboys' Association
of the city OF Washington, That in the
event of the passage by the City Councils
of bill to prohibit the crying aloud OF
! newspapers on the Sabbath day, we pledge
| ourselves to abide by the law, and agree
| with each other to visit each residence III
the city and ring the door-ben or make oul
| presence known by knocking to find ont il
| the citizens want to buy the paper.
This seemed to meet the views OF the boys
exactly. and the shouts which went up il
| appreciation We're positively deatening

we'll dor Well pull de bells off but what
we'll make 'em hear I'm knocker,
| said John William Henry Brown. "Ise q
bettin big money dat l makes EN- har me
| ki-yi"
| We condense the foregoing report from
the Washington RtpubHcnn, a journal noted
! for its ACCURACY.
