Graphing with Il Burglar.

The villa of the veteran sculptor
Thomas II. Ball, in Florence, was en-
tered Jan. 13, and though the burglar
was discovered and severely wounded in
the struggle that followed, he succeeded
in escaping with Mr.. Balls gold watch
and 5000 francs i'll bank notes. 1t ap-
pears that Mr.. Cowper, Mr.. Balls son
in-law, in returning to the villa at late
hour, found that the contents of II large
cabinet standing in the lower hall had
been scattered over the floor. Hasten
ing to Mr.. Balls bedroom, he was there
confronted by the intruder, who blew
out the candle he was carrying and at
once grappled with Mr.. Cowper. In the
struggle, though Mr.. Cowper's left arm
and hand were badly lacerated when he
was forced through a glass door, yet he
succeeded in pitching the fellow head
long to the floor below, but was too
week from loss of blood to follow him,
and the robber got away before assist
ance came.
Mr.. COwper was unarmed except with
small pocketknife, which he evidently
used to some purpose, as attested by the
stained walls and staircase 1t is not
believed Mr.. Cowpers wounds will
prove serious.
Mr. Ball received no injury except to
his nerves, but the opportune arrival of
his son-in-law doubtless prevented a
more serious crime Evidently the bur
glar was fully acquainted with the ar
rangement of the house and the habits
of its inmates, and probably the police
have been able by this time to arrest the
suspected party.-Boston TRANSCRIPT.

The Street Band.

II like the dashing cornet and the
sprightly clarinet" said Colonel CALI
per, but l like best Of all that brass
fountain of cheerfulness, the bi., bass
horn. Care takes back seat when the
big horn sounds. 1t paints the air red
and defies all creation, but it is vastly
good natured withal, and it never fails
when its friends the cornet and the clari-
net pause for breath to come in with it's
oomph-ah! oomph-ah! oomph-ah! pre-
serving the harmony unbroken.
Relieved from this duty, it rolls off
over the edge of cliff and brings up
suddenly at the foot with tremendous
oomph! Rebounding, with dignity un-
rutfied, with undiminished vigor, and
with undim1ned, inextinguishable and
overwhelming good humor, it tosses off
sound in large decorative effects that
excite the wonder of every hearer and
fill every hearer with broad delight.
"Just why the big bass horn is usually
played by short, stout man, while the
slender clarinet is played by man who
is tall and thin is one of those things
that nobody knows. The time may
come, indeed, when the short, stout man
will play the slender clarinet and the
tall, thin man will play the big bass
horn; but by whomsoever it may be
played let us hope that the big horns
thunderous jollity will never be abated."
