A Polyglot Beggar.

Citizens who have had business on
Chestnut, Eighth, Arch and Spring Gar
den Streets cannot fail to have noticed
a German of medium build and middle
age, dressed, as general rule, in light
colored clothing and wearing a diiapi-
dated white Derby hat, whose vocation
is alms-seeking. He is persistent fel-
low and will not take a rebuff. He has
habit of sldingup to gentlemen before
they are hardly aware of his presence
and accosting them with "Sprechen sic
Deutsch, mein .herrp'' Perhaps you do
and perhaps you don't. If not he will
try you with, "Parlez voas iFrancaise,
monsieurr'o Maybe You don't speak
French and then he will fire several
other languages at you, which you don't
understand. At last he says: "Mein
vriend, | speake a leetle English" and
strikes you for small amount to help
him and his family along. He is, ac-
cording to his story, poor working
man out of employment and sometimes
a stranger in a strange city. One gen
tleman asserted yesterday chat he had
actually been haunted by this. man as
he had been met by him on seven diff
ferent occasions in seven different
places on seven successive DAYS and
numerically assailed with seven differ
.ent languages. The name Of this beg
gar is Charles Wagner. He was ar
rested about a year ago. but wasre-
leased on promising that he would dis
continue his meIdicant career. On
Saturday he accosted a gentleman son
Chestnut Street and was handed oyer
to the police. When taken before Mag
istrate Smith he said he was a teacher
OF languages and promised to leave the
city if released. He was committed to
the House of Correction. Philadelphia
