overlooked. Scobeleff's videttes were

of the detail of military duty was uni
versal-even to sounding all the bugle

OF his corps occurs to me. l had been

rious systems. Taking a ..Berdan'
with which the troops. were latterlv
armed, from soldier. he undid the
breech and lock and explained the
mechanism with the precision of a

soldier, he turned, walking up to sem

piled: 81 cannot, your excellency."
''But | want to see if it is Clean" per-

A Heinous Crime.


"Will you send policeman to drive
away an organ-grinder?'a servant from
a Fifth avenue house asked of justice
in Yorkville police court.
Cant you drive him away without 8
policeman's help?" the justice asked.
''It is a woman, sir, and she won't
bulge au inch"
The policeman was sent. A middle
aged woman was sitting beside low
cart, in one end of which was a hand
organ, while two infants were sleeping
on pillows in the other end. The wo-
man muttered angrily when the police
man addressed her, and moved slowly
away. A young woman across the
street beckoned to the policeman and
said: 81 am the nurse here, and the lady
inside is dangerously i'll. The organ
grinders seem determined to murder
her. Yesterday we were obliged to fee
not less than a dozen before they would
move away, and we haven't had quiet
minute to-day. When this woman came
we concluded it was useless to hire
them to leave,for one departed to make
room for another,
This is no new experience of mine, :"
the nurse added, 81 have had no end
of trouble with organ-grinders. There
seems to be an association of them in
this city, and they make it their busi-
ness to blackmail the sick in this way.
In cases Of nervous trouble, where per
feet quiet is necessary, they often reap
a rich harvest. "--NeW York Sun
