A New York Street Character.

"Howard" in a New York letter tc
the Boston Globe says: Every day in the
summer time and occasionally in cold
weather, but never in winter, woman
appears in Printing House square and
along Broadway to Wall street, down
Wall to Broad, who, so far as eXternali
ties go, is the most curious person

years of age, wears an old fashioned fly
away bonnet, with haring flowers on it.,
a slazy, large pattern shawl, calico
dress over enormous hoops, one boot and
one shoe. have seen her hundreds of
times, always with large piece of bed
ticking slung over her back filled with
oranges. She is dirty, the very picture
of filth, face, hands, costume everything
as dirty and unnice as it is possible to
conceive, with a tongue that would be
her fortune in the celebrated fish
market beyond the ocean. She
shifts her great bundle of oranges
from shoulder to shoulder, stors
now and then to adjust her
shawl, her shoe string frequently comes
united, necessitating other stoppages, and
if, as is often the case, she ncars the off
ces of the Mems, Telegram, or Express about
publication time, she is surrounded by
scores of boys who know her well and
torment her thoroughly. She comes down
town with her oranges, and she goes up
town with her oranges. She was never
known to sell one in our part of the city,
and how under heavens she lives. what
she is, why she is, is one of the conun-
drums with which the streets of New
York are dotted.
Sometimes one of these newsboys man,
ages to steal an orange and instantly
runs. The old woman follows him, of
course, never catching him, and have
seen time and time agian an uproar of fif-
teen or twenty minutes created by this
petty theft and stimulated by the gather
ing crowd which is itself a peculiar fca-
ture here, until, exhausted and played
out, the old woman stops her pursuit the
boy laughing comes back and losses her
