THE MUSICAL INSTINCT.

While the Board of Education is load
ing down the course of study in our pub
lie schools with a number of branches
that are, to say the least, of questionable
general utility, it is forgetting an impor-
tant feature in the course that it is al
most criminal to neglect. We refer to
giving instruction in the captivating and
melifuous art of whistling. This de-
lightful accomplishment that "Whistling
Charley" and few sable pro-
fessors enjoy almost exclusively
in its perfection in our city,
is practically a lost art in this coun-
try. 1t is true that the aesthetic interest
of our cash and errand boys leads them
whenever they 60 down town with a par
Gel or OH any other errand to make des-
perate efforts to entertain persons passing
in the streets by prolonged if abortive
footing, but however we'll intended the
effort it must be admitted that as a musi-
cal performance it is not success.
For force Of wind your aver
age small boy is not equal to
a locomotive, nor in the way of melody
to calliope or hurdy-gurdy, when the
performance has no adventitious aids
other than the pucker of the operators
lips. Still if put under the training of
able professors in the art, it is impossible
to tell what treasures of musical culture
we have in our untutored newsboys and
bootblacks all about us. Left to run to
waste in the public thoroughfares as it
now is these sounds that without suita-
BILE accompaniments are as ear-split-
ting as the filing of so many saws,
ought to be somehow utilized and made
to conduce to the general good. If for
instance some public-spirited citizen
would marshal this whistling phalanx
in solid column on the public landing
or about the Fountain and practice them
an hour or two daily, if they did not ar
rive at the perfection Of whistling any
tunes they might at least fatigue their
blow pipe apparatus sufficiently to af-
ford other persons who frequent the
streets reprieve from the annoyance of
hearing the everlasting discords perpe-
trated by these ragamuf1ins who wish to
whistle tunes and have not yet learned
how. A man who should take musical
instrument with him whenever he went
into the streets and blow it without ref
erence to time or tune, would be pretty
apt to get the police after him. The
untutored youth who with inopportune
and senseless whistliug annoys the way
farer about as much as would man
with trombone, will do we'll to practice
up in some secluded spot and when he
can arrive at the perfection Of "Whist
ling Charley" it will be time enough tt
entertain the public, if happily he have
not by that time grown to an age and tt
a knowledge of the fact, that whistlins
in the public streets is very vulga
performance.

AcCUHULATIvE EVIDENCE AGAINST THE PRISON



ERS. -.
The grand jury IS still engaged In examining
witnesses as to the murder of George Philip
Hirth on the night Of January It'll, for which
babe" Bedford, Sam Plnn and Edward Queen
an are held in Jail principally on the testimony
of johnson, who acknowledges having been
present when the attack was made. johnson
having been frequently in prison, his character
does not stand high, and therefore to secure
conviction it becomes necessary that his evil
denee should be corroborated at every point.
Owing to his bad character, there is an impress
sion that with the evidence, as it is known to
the public no jury would convict. This inn
preston may be correct, but there is much
other evidence that the public knows moth
ing about, and some OF 1t is known
to but few of the police officials. 1t is sufficient
to say that the evidence before the grand jury
taken thus far substantiate5 Johnson at every
point; that witnesses have been found and teS-
titled who saw johnson meet the crowd at 18th
and T streets on the night Of the occurrence;
saw them on 14th street; heard Bedford asked
and give the time; saw them on street,
and saw Johnson leaving the place. 1t is said
that the grand jury are ready to-day to make a
preSentment, but there is some division among
them as to whether they should present the
four named or the three parties charged by
johnson. The desire of the District Attorneys
Office is that an early Indictment and hearing
should take place. but it is likely that their
counsel will ask postponement of the case
until the excitement created by the murder
