LONDON, April A correspondent OF
the Pail Mall Gazette had an interview
with General Boulanger in Paris last even
ing. In regard to his candidacy of deputies
for the department of Nord, and his rea-
sons for his not going there to conduct his
own canvass. he said he was not like an
ordinary candidate. He did not appeal to
the electors on petty departmental ques-
tions, but as a representative Of the great
prince, therefore his presence in the de-
partment was not needed, victory being
certain. The principle he represented, he
said, was the revision OF the constitution
The chamber of deputies had been stricken
with impotence. He declared decislvely
that no ministry could last long. Three
months would be the utmost limit OF It's
life In the meantime he would wait.

VIOLIN AND HARP,

As nearly as can be ascertained there are
ten violin-harp combinations in existence in
New York city. These players are entitled to
more merit as musicians than any that play
on the street for what the public is pleased to
give them. ItIequires years Of training to
become at all proficient as a vioiinist or &
3harpist, and it costs something, too. Out Of
twenty-five persons who undertake to master
the violin, not more than one is ever able to
make good music. Considering this fact for
IL il fact, it is remarkable that all the
street violinists are capable musicians. Damp
weather and cracked instruments do much to
make otherwise good music squeaky and dis
agreeable.
The heyday of the piper has passed, and the
pipes are now novelty. Once or twice a
year their peculiar music can be heard on the
streets along the river front, but it doesn't
seem to take as it used 20, and the pipers get
disguised and quit.
Three whistlers-a white man in Brooklyn,
a negro up town and negro down town

popular airs on the city streets For whist
ling that appeals to ones change pocket the
negro up town has the decided advantage.

NIGHT SESSION OF THE HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, April AT 1890 O'Clock
the situation in the house remains I'M
changed. A report that there has abeen a
gradual falling off in the number of mem
bers responding to their names upon the
roll call, call of the house elected the
facts that there were 216 members present
but this number dwindled away and the
vote by which proceedings under the call
were dispensed with figured up but 159-
still less than a quorum. Filibustering
motions were again interjected and the
voice of the clerk rendered somewhat
husky from the task imposed upon him of
calling fifteen roll calls during the day,
again filled the hall. Though the hour is
still early and the prospects of an all night
session are strengthening, the house is al
ready showing the effects of the long ses-
sion.
MIDNIGHT.
During the past hour efforts have been
privately made to effect a compromise
The proposition was that a recess should
be taken until II o'clock tomorrow and the
previous question should be considered as
ordered on the bill at 3 o'clock. A hitch
occurred in the arrangement, however; and
the proposition will not be submitted for
the present.

MUSIC OF THE STREETS.
THE FORTY BRAYING BANDS or
NEW YORK AND BROOKLYN.

A Census of the Discord Makers of the
Metropolis-The LeaderIess Band Of
Three Pieces-Hand Organ, Violin and
Harp-whistlers.
Much that is musical, and more that is ear
rending and head splitting in its discord, is
footed, blown. ratified, squeaked and pounded
by the thousand odd players on instruments
who pick up living in the streets of New
York and Brooklyn This regiment of itin-
Grant desroyers of harmony and disturbers
of peace is made I'D of about ten divisions
By far the largest of these divisions is the
one that numbers in its ranks the gutter
bands Then come the grinders of the
wheezy organs. Next on the list are the
manipulators of the crank pianos. The
banjo players follow in order, and then the
field is filed with the violinists, harpers, cor
net soloists, pipers, singers and whistlers.
There are more than forty street bands
footing for pennies in the two cities every
pleasant day. Three or four of these bands
number eight or ten performers each, and
they get themselves up in pretty good style
so far as uniforms are concerned. The leader
is usually man of middle age, and, with the
exception of the strong hinged individual
who operates the bass horn and the man who
helps the leader out on the cornet end. the
players are all boys. They make pretty good
music when they are feeling well
Other street bands have as few as three
pieces-cornet, alto and bass horn. Bands of
this description play in front of saloons, and
they are usually leaderless Sometimes the
alto horn gets under way before the cornet
and its deeper toned neighbor, and just as
frequently the bass horn starts in first OF
all the noises that are forced through imper
feet horns, that of the leaderless band Of
three pieces is unqueStionably the worst.
Yet these bands manage to pick up between

matters not how dlScOrdent its efforts at
music may be, they like it. In the tenement
house districts an organ grinder is sure to
get five cents a tune, and it takes less than
five minutes to grind out selection with q
methodical man at the crank. There are
over seventy-five old fashioned hand organs
in use in and about New York, and it is a
poor day when they fail to charm s.. so from
the children and mothers.
The crank piano is natural outgrowth Of
the hand organ. Progressive civilization de-
manded something better than wheezy
organs, and the rattlety bang piano was in-
troduced to fill the long felt want, as it were
1t really has some claim on the public ear
In the first place it gives us music that is
comparatively new. Snatches from the pop
ular comic operas are common with it, and
the way it renders them is not entirely void
of interest. There are thirty street hand
pianos on regular duty.
Good banjo music is scarce on the street
Of the dozen odd players who make their liv-
ing around town by humping this instru
nNnt, all but one are negroes. There are two
banjo players up town who know how to play
right well. They frequent the saloons during
the winter time, and whenever they find q
party of young fellows WHO are out for the
night they make good money. One can stand
more of banjo music than he can of any other
kind. While the hand organ becomes intol-
cradle in ten minutes, the banjo is listened to
with interest for an hour. The banjo timer
ants usually travel In pairs, and plantation
melodies go with the music.

The Poor MANS Blanket,

Washington, April 29-The free
traders have always protested q high
degree OF soiicitude about the "poor
mans blanket" 1t is interesting TO in
quire how she Mills bill takes care OF the
poor mans blanket. The bill imposes
upon oil blankets a uniform duty of 40
per sent ad valorem. Assume that the
poor man buys o blanket valued OF not
more than 40 cents per pound, and you
will notice how the Mills bill deals with
him as compared with q rich man who
buys blankets worth, for example, ST
per pound. Taking i've pounds ss the
weight of the blankets, the comparison
stsnds'thus: Poor mans blanket. Original
cost under present law, $1.50; under
Mills bill, $3.50. Duty under present
Law, 81 .02; under Mills bill go. Total
cost under present law, 1882; under
Mills bill, $40. Saving TO poor mar

blanket, Original cost under present

under present law, 1915; under Mills

So. rs; under Mills bill 81. Saving 80
tich man under Mills bill, $4.75. Or

comparison the Mills bill saves the poor
man 16 ITO per cent of the cost of his
blankets, while it saves the rich man &c
per cent of the cost of his.

form q new party. The call had few Sign
ers, but when the convention met every
district in the county was represented by
a duly elected delegate. A strong
ticket was nominated and from this
is said to have sprung the great Republi

toned, and it is only just to say that be-
fore publishing the call for the convention
he received an invitation to call upon
Salmon P. Chase, who went to Pittsburg
partly for the purpose of consulting him
upon the political situation. But it is
doubtful if, even at the time, Mr.. Chase
himself had in mind the gigantic project
which inspired the mind of The Gazette.
His family circle consists of his daughter,
Miss Helen, and his aged wife, to whom
hewas married sixty-two years ago. Until

Suddenly he dashed the water into the

cup into the basin with an expression OF
the face indicative Of great disgust and
loathing, and showed his way out of the
crowd as quickly as he could. We could
hear the roar Of voices and the sharp
rapping of the policeman's club when we
turned into the restaurant, a block and
more away; and I learned by the papers,
next day, that the shiny red nose and the
shiny black hat slept in q station house

1t is the same crowd that inspects the

Getting Their Eyes Open.

Victory in Rhode Island brings disgust
to the hearts of Mugwumps. The New
York Times with melancholy observes
that "the Prohibition vote was reduced
sadly" which indicates that sincere Pro-
h~ibitionists are tired Of being used as
cheap tools by the saloon keepers, and
that the great and glor1ous reform" of
the Cleveland variety no longer promises
free trade. 1t will be found, when it
comes to the final reckoning, that many
sincere supporters of civil service reform
are also tired of being used as cheap tools
by free traders. A healthy decrease in the
Prohibition and Mugwump vote liz the
natural result of enlightening experience.
When men lave voted for reform y
thereby turning the civil service into a
Cleveland machine, and for Prohibition,
thereby making the state government the
property of liquor dealers, they are apt te
discover that they have not been sensible,
