One of the Foremost Attributes of tho
 Typical New York Street Boy.
 The genuine New York street arab as a general thing fears neither God nor man, barring the policeman He i5 no more vicious than others of his kind in European cities, but probably his cheerful impertinence is carried further than any other brand of boy ever dared to carry it An amusing illustration of this was observed the other day in Madison avenue. A long procession of well dressed young women were walking up the street with that regularity of step and line which indicates a boarding school class out for it's daily constitutional. y
 At the head wasa graceful woman, a teacher with an air of command, who led the way last of all came another teacher, a watchdog to in. tercept stray glances and keep an eye on all the line The procession was moving gracefully, with Del sal'te carriage. as pretty a picture of well trained, well nmtured, well watched young womanhood as one would wish to sec.
 Whether this was or was not the view taken of it by gang of young gutter snipes, whose ages probably ranged from eight to thirteen years, is hard to say The motives of these lads are difficult to estimate from their actions. However, they all with one accord made a dash across the road for the procession, and with a chorus of Xxi yi'sr squeals and whistles of various kinds, began to annoy it. Half a dozen marched at the head, duttering their rags and tossing their heads in a mocking imi- tatiou of the young women and their finery Others brought up the rear with prepOsterous mincing step and shouted sarcastic remarks to those ahead, while two of the biggest boys ran up and down the line, counting the young women by touch ing each ones elbow
 The conduct of the girls under this trying ordeal was admirable. For a time they pretended to ignore it alto gether Their eyes kept straight adeud. aud nothing but their blush ing checks showed that they were aware of the ridiculous appearance their procession presented But the boys were persistent. One tried to snatch an umbrella from the hand of a girl near the foot of the string. and the girl screamed and backed away from him throwing those behind her out of line
 The teacher who brought up the rear could stanl it no longer, sl,e jumped fer that by ike cat for a mouse and gave him a box on the e1r that rang out clear and loud It made lis heal ay to one side, and quick as shot her other hand caught the other ear and knocked his head back agaiH. and the first hand was thera to meet it. and for about one minute that boys head wayged like a pendulum between two ls!a Rloyel hands in way that surprised him ggealy Then sho tunai on the others. but they all fed up to the head Of the line where the stately lealar was still march ing, seemingly GGcp3@ern9d.
