We want a foreman.

Wo want q foreman.
We don't want man who will be re.
quired TO know the declensions Gi the
Greek nouns or the names Of the Eng
fish sovereigns from Egbert to Victoria;
but SO help us, Heaven, wc want O
man who can tell plea quad when
he finds it in the nonpareil box.
We want foreman who, when the

Gle giving the position OF the stars las
June, knows enough to change the er-
ror 10 the current month. The exigen.
cies and emergencies arising in the
composing-room Of printng-of1ice do
not require that the foreman be hand
some man; but it is desired that the
functiouary in question have knowl-
edge OF common-sense If not Of punctu-
alton, and that he be able to place col.
umn date lines in the columns where
they belong instead of running them in
the advertising department.
We want foreman who knows less
about comets and the planetary system
and more about the perihelon of rea-
son and taste in setting advertisements.
While it is not necessary that he possess
the first idea of rhetoric or grammar,
we feel in duty bound to demand that
he be capable of ending all sentences,
especially at the bottoms of broken
line columns, with period.
Any one knowing of such a paragon
will oblige us by having him arrested
and placed in jail before he can get
away, so that we can secure him. -

the Mississippi worth improving and who
pretend to believe that the railroads are
entirely superseding river navigation.

Antonio Gozel, wife and child and another
woman and her little baby woro brought Into
tho Police Court to-day by Lieutenant Kelly, OF
the Seventh Precinct Station. The party DO.
long to the band Of Arab gypsies, who recently
landed in New York city.
since Monday, ana were sent hero by gcntie-
man from Baltimore. Since landing In wash
ington they have been very kindly treated by

geon, a lady residing near by, kept tho un.
married woman and baby at her house.
She says that the woman was very cleanly
In her habits and was fast learning tho ways
OF western civilization, but tho others would
persuade her to desist and finally frightened
her by telling her that Mrs. Spurgeon's object
was TO capture her child from her. They
seemed to little appreciate kindness aud
thowod strong desire to return to their ma
tive habits OF begging on the streets. They all
left the station for this purpose and the police
were finally Obliged to haul them In.
The man would stand on tho street corners
and mako piteous motions to the passers.by,
nj the same time pointing TO the women and
children. The party presented II sad spectacle
az the Police Court this morning before tho
advent OF Judge Smell. Antonio was the only
one locked In cell, and the women on tho
outside continued TO weep and hug their little
ones In manner expressive OF tho deepest
woe. Several ladies yesterday went TO tho
residence Of the Turkish Minister to intcrcedo
for them, but mono OF tho legation could bo
found in tho city.
Mr. Joseph Torrens, the rostauratour at 81
Pennsylvania avenue, who Is acquainted with
the Spanish language, interviewed them this
morning at tho Police Court. Antonio fortu.
nately understood Spanish, and It was learned
from him that they were we'll TO do in Egypt,
but says he was In Arabis army and lost all
his possessions at the burning Of Alexandria
In July, and this caused him to como to
America, for he says he has n brother In Mex.
leo who Is wealthy. The two women are
sisters. The youngest one while hugging and
cafessing her infant, gave graphic and ter.
rible description Of the burning of the great
city whore her husband was murdered.
Mr. Torrens says that they are deeply
ashamed at their filthy and untidy state, and
eaid that they told him they were always
dressed In splendor until this summer Judge
Smell sent them to the almshouse until further
provisions can be made for them.
Several ladies are still interesting them-
selves for their benefit and they Will probably
SEQ tho Mexican Minister tonight and ask
him to aid them. Antonio brings letter of
Introduction TO the minister. The women have
