Hand Organ Tunes for 1882.

"This is the time when organ grind CTS order their tunes for the comin season." said Mir. Taylor, New Tor maker of hand organs. "In fact, tn time of supply and demand is so regu | lar and unfailing that almanac maker might put along with other predictions | all the way from the middle of Januar, to the middle of April, 'Now pu new tunes in hand organs And il summer, of course, Now look out fo new tunes in hand organs.'"
 " What are the new tunes called fol this yearY'
 "Well, the returns are not all in vet Of course you know that the organ grinders themselves do not have much to say about what tunes shall be put into their organs they rely almoc. entirely on what the people ask for No; don't believe it is true, as many assert, that tbe organ grinders pick out uninterestIng tunes and creaking or. gans in order that pennies may be given to them to go away quickly. I think they report to me honestly what tunes the people ask for. On the whole, Harrigan and Hart's songs are most popular in the country. Just now their Major Gilfeather,' waltz song, is the rage. They all ask for it. Then there is Tony Pastors sWhist, whist which is going to be very popular on the hand organ-only the whist sound will be anything but whist"
 Anything from the Gilbert and Sullivan comic operas, 'The Pirates or 'Patienceg"
 Mot note; no demand for them Lo EMocaoAIoS U1 &oL La the Charity Bob song and All on Ac- count of Eliza from 'Billee Taylor and the grand marches from 'Fatinitza' and 'Boccaccio.' From New Orleans and Savannah come loud calls for tunes from 'Olivette.'"
 ''Is the hand organ played much through the Southern States ?"
 "Just now New Orleans is my best market. The negroes have taken to playing hand organs, while the Italians have dropped off all over the count try. There are not one-fourth as many Ital- ian players as wandered about the States few years ago. The Italians are at work on railroads as laborers in every capacity. They are wiling to work if they can be satisfied that they will get pay for their labor"
 "Well, what new tune are you put ting into organs played in the Western States ?"
 Grandfather Clock"
 els that tune new anywhere2''
 "You would think so from the num- Der of requests I have for it. Here is 8 new organ, in which have just put the Sweet By-and-Bye.' It is going into Massachusetts, with 'Only an Armor Bearer and I'll Stand By Until the Morning. and other of the late Mir. Bliss writings. They are in great de- mand in little towns where strong re- Igious bias runs."
 "Any other popular tunes which hang on?"
 "'The Devils March from von Suppe's operetta, 'The Devil on Earth and z Cradles Empty, Baby's Gone,' A Violet from Mothers Crave and : Speak, only Speak, I don't make tragic opera selection for hand organ once in five years. Everything must be either funny or sentimental"

lauSn Tall LnrOuSn tu0 duOl0nCS as the prisoner
 read and reread his declaration that it would
 be perfectly safe for him to walk the streets of Washington or New York. Coming down to the extracts from his mail he read them with extreme unctlon, particularly the rhyming one dated Philadelphia, New Years day, 1882,
 which he read in a sing-song way, which caused 8 laugh among the audience. He evil dently enjoyed the strlctures upon the counsel for the prosecution, and his pleased smile was too much for the district attorney, who
 joined in the laugh which followed the reading of the extract. Reaching that portion of the speech where an abstract from his ad- dress to the American people is in- Serted, he folded up the paper, took off his glasses and squaring himself in his chair proceeded to repeat the extract from memory. In doing this he assumed his most oratorical style, modulating the tones of his voice, using both arms to aid him in empha- sizing his dramatic utterances and as far as possible acting the extract Coming down to his quotation from "John Browns Body,' he threw back his head and sang verse from that old song, much 10 the amusement of the spectators. He read from his speech: "Put my body in the ground if you will; that is all you can do. But thereafter comes day of reckoning. The mills of the gods grind slow, but they grind sure, and they will grind to mented it with the remark: ''As sure as & hair of my head is injured this nation will go down in the dust and don't you forget it. He then proceeded to read his speech to Q close, his final sentence being. "When the President was shot his cabinet telegraphed to foreign nations that it was the act of mad man, and it would be far better every way that it be finally decided that it was the act of madman.''
 Guiteau began the proceedings on the fifty second day by saying: "I spent yesterday in examining my mail0several hundred letters a good many of them from ladies' and several of them very tender. desire to express my sympathy and thanks for those tender letters received from American ladies.

A PrOhahIe Murder

On the evening of the 10th instant George
Myer, an old soldier, and an inmate of the
Soldiers Home, left that institution, and after
being absent for an entire day, some anxiety
was expressed for his safety. Yesterday
morning about daybreak milkman came to
Lieutenant Johnson's station and reported
that a dead man was lying in the Seventh
street road, near Whitney avenue, and a
mounted officer was sent to the place indica-
ted where Myer was found lying with n long,
deep cash across tho back of his head The
man was unconscious, but life was not ex-
tirct, and tho Soldiers Home ambulance was
sent for and Myer put In 1t.
Before the ambulance reached the house
death had ensued. The Coroner has been
notified, and Lieutenant Johnson's officers are
working on the case and rather incline TO the
belief that II is q case of murder, as the victim
is represented 10 have been sober, and 1t Is
not probable that he could have inflicted the
injury by q fall
II has been ascertained that Myer was led ID
the place where he was found, at about
O'Clock on the previous evening, and had been
allowed to lie there all night. 1t is impossible
TO tell until an autopsy has been performed
what the nature OF the wound is, but II Is
probable that the man was struck on the back
of the head with a large stone. Robbery is
supposed TO have been the cause of the deed.
q The Coroner this afternoon visited the
Soldiers Home and made an examination OF
the body and stated that 1t was probably q
murder. The Coroner found three fractures
Of the skull. An inquest will be held at noon
Tomorrow. -

English Opera Next Week.

Mr.. G. D. Hess Acme Opera Company Will

"Chimes of Normandy" EZRA Diavalo," etc.
The sale OF seats, at the regular rates OF nd
mission, will begin tomorrow morning and
continue throughout the week. The follow
ing is from the Detroit Free Press:
''The best English version of Audran's TIA
Mascotte' yet seen in this country was given
at the Detroit Opera-House last night by O. ID.
Hess Acme Company. 1t was n performance
OF superior merit In every particular. The
artists are all capable, the chorus is composed
Of fresh, young and vigorous voices, the or.
chestra was handled with special skill
and Judgment and the costumes
were truly magnificent. Tho entire miseen
scene was brilliant, harmonious and pleasing
1t is years since Detroiters have seen so COM
plete a presentation OF n comic opera. Ger
tainly Mr.. Hess has fulfilled every promise
made to the public in his preliminary adver-
tisements and given MS '.The Mascotte" In u
manner decidedly superior TO any OF the
lauded New York productions Of the same
work. This is not a reckless statement. The
fact is the same opera at the Park Theatre, New
York, last season was weak and shabby by com.
parison with this, and the Bijou Theatre ver-
sion was far inferior to II In point Of musical
excellence. That manager "on the road u
should succeed in outdoing the best efforts OF
the metropolis In an operate venture is a cir.
cumstance too significant TO let pass un
noticed. The "provincial public is to be
congratulated, and the enterprlsing and con
scientfous manager deserves to be publicly
thanked and congratulated,

In CONNECTION with the recent burglary
at Colonel Fleming's carpenter-shep, one OF
the most singular circumstances was tho
failure to find any revolvers or burglars tools.
This circumstance has been partly explained
by discovery which also shows that the four
men walked down through Franklin Park on
their way to the Navy-Yard. A boy yesterday
found q long, well-made, steel Jimmy u
hidden among some bushes in the park. 1t is
thought that the tools and weapons were all
thrown away between Flemings shop and the
Navy-Yard, and they will probably be found
in alleys or sewers.
