Daring many years past we have
had d great deal Of music in Balti-
more made by street musicians, princi-
pally Italian children. This music
was always terrible to listen to, not
at all resembling "sweet bells" but
decidedly tangled and out of tune"
These children were, of course, of
depraved and immoral character,
leading the miserable lives they did,
but now there Is a society formed for
the prevention of cruelty to this class
and any older person who is discover
ed sending the little ones out on beg
ging expeditions is arrested and fined.
The Italian Consul here has made
himself exceedingly valuable to the
society by his energy and persever-
ance in rescuing many Of his count
rvs children from habits aud homes
Of wickedness and vice.
These children have also the bene-
fit of the Poor Excursions, as they
are called, which are for mothers and
| children who are too poor to pay their
way to any place where fresh air is
plentiful. They are taken down the
bay to a beautiful resort and Toasted
with the soldid comforts Of lite; have
medical advice and medicine given
them free, and altogether spend de-
lightful day. There is no doubt that
many lives have been saved during
the past few years by this excellent
institution.
Now that the schools are closed, II
gives the small boy more time to gel
nearly or quite drowned and occasion
their parents trouble enough to turn
their heads grey in a single night
One mother, last Sunday morning
dressed her little son in his bes
clothes and sent him to Sabbath schoo
instructing him to remain to cAurct
service afterwards. He did not re
turn at the proper time and his par
ents, becoming worried, telegraphe'
over the city and instituted a genera
search without, however, the leas
success until Monday, when they fonn'
his body floating in the basin. IL
had been to church but left before /
closed with small companion who's
name has not yet been discovered
There are many similar cases and tn
great loss Of life must certainly b
caused either by carelessness or tn
paramount desire possessed by al
boys to "show off when near anything

Corporations VS.. The People.

Mr.. Editor The experience of
recent years, one would think, had
saught corporations in this country
that they, no more than individuals,
can stand and prosper, in their enter
prises, Invested Of the sympathy and
friendship OF the people and the COM
mun1tles in whose midst they lie.
Their concentrated capital and the
wisdom and business experience of
their presidents and boards of directors
are doubtless a power, and can do
much for themselves in their opera
lions, and declare large dividends for
their shareholders, but when the hour
OF their extremity comes and their
own employees take them by the
throat, there is no power then in their
wealth nor strength in their arms, but
to the people they must look for NOR
al support and to the strong arm of
the State for protection. The policies
OF the latter has become question Of
grave consideration except in the
direct extremity, and the opinion
seems rather to be, that to the sheriff
and his posse conan,etatus should be
left the keeping OF the peace, and the
protection Of the property. But
whence shall come bis posse, if the
people arc unwilling?
We would, therefore, say to the
corporations, so shape your dealings
and transactions with tie people that
you nay make them your friends,
and you will have little to fear from
riots and strikes.
Now in this connection, | would,
in friendly way and spirit, call The
attention Of the Consolidation coal
company and G. & z. railroad COM
pany, to the sentiment OF the people
OF this whole region, from Mt, Savage
to Piedmont, III relation TO- their dis
elimination in favor OF certain firm
in protecting it in It's dealings with
the employees OF said corporations

OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
Another Protest.

Editor Journal IF our Mayor and
Council intend to continue the policy
of discriminating between cow-own-
ers and those who do not own cows,
we would suggest that in their great
and infallible wisdom and one-sided
justice, that they increase the annual
levy to such an amount as will enable
them to keep the COWS in pasture at
public expense, and thereby give us
some protection for our gardens and
small fruit trees, and at the same time
keep our streets in something like a
decent condition. The repeal of the
ordinance was nothing less than a
public imposition and great wrong,
for the convenience Of few who have
no public pride, nor indeed any mo-
live beyond self. Vox PoPULI.
four correspondent forgets that the
owners Of COWS desire to be relieved
of the care of their stock during the
night. If, therefore, the Corporation
where to provide the pasturage, it
would not altogether answer the cow
owners object. The Corporation
should not only furnish the pasturage,
but it should go around after evening
milking-time, gather up the COWS,
drive them to pasture, and bring
them home next morning before
breakfast. Nothing short of this will
make us all completely happy.-ED. ]
