WASHINGTON. Something About the Famous Marine Band.

Sketch and Picture of It Leader Dr. Blschoff, the Blind Organist of the Capltal-Xia Eva M111. Washisgtos, Jane 12. The renewal of the ITaiiEe Band concert) ca the White Hoase groucda with an attendance of thousands of people every Saturday, suggests Bone re maris about both tna bend and the people to go to hear It, also about other remark tie xnn&ical people of this city. Washington ia quite a musical city and has among its people some of marked prominence in a musical way, people of nota they may be called, and they are, too, in many particulars. There are numerous reasons for this. Washington Is a beautiful city in which ta liye, and a musical composer is quite as likay to become inspired here as anywhere, while lie is much more likelv ta be comfortable at the ea me time, but thia Is neithsr the only cor the principal reason. There are a good many people of musical taste la the city, men and women, who hare time not only to cultivate it in themselves but in others ai 'well. Eo there are some excellent musicians here in all lines, and some organizitions of which none need be at all ashamed. And it it is easy then to understand why the MaTine Band can draw thousands of people to the White House grounds every Saturday alter noonTake this Hanne Bind for instance. It is composed of some ot the best musicians to be found in this part of the country. Its leader. Mr. J. P. Boua, has not his equal this side of New York, and no more than one or two there can he said to surpass him. Indeed it ia generally believed by those who male a study of this subject that only one miUtary band of the country (Qilmore's) can compare with It. Gilmore's is. of coarse, a much larger band, as i3 the case with many ci the other bands of the country. Bat it is not on the siza of his band that Mr. Saasa TROFESSOR SOVSA. prides himself. His band is a small oneonly thirty-three pieces but its work is not excelled in its approach to perfecrioa by any. Mr. 8oa?a has been the leader of the Marine Band for some five years. Under his leadarship the band has attained greater reputation than it evar before enjoyed. He ia a thorough student of music, having made it a life-lcng study. Besides the leaierahip and general direction of the Marine Bind he finds time to do a great deal of musical composition. He has written four operas "Daairee," "Smujrglers" "Katharine" and "Queen of Hearts." the latter intended especially for Children. He is now engaged on his most ambitions work, an oratorio to ba cal!ei "The Disciples," and.to bejfounded on the instructions of Coriatto His disciples and their subsequent experiences as detailed in the Scriptures. He has also produced a large number of musical compositions for the use of the Marine Band and for instrumental use, the number thus produced and pub lished by him reaching more than 100. Mr. ßcuta, besides being a thorough student of music, had the advantage in earlier years of paternal advice io this particular line of work, h:a father having been for many years a rcerxber of the Marine Band. The custom of giving these open air concerts at the White House and Capitol, which lias just now been resumed for the season, is a very eld one. No body knows just when it was begun, but members of the Marine Corps Wfco have been here for more than a quarter cf a century any the custom is older" than their stay in Washington. The band is, ai is well understood, a part of the Marine Corps. Jt was organized about 1307, and has been for many years one cf the finest bands in the country, having, however, Eever attained to euch ttate of excellence as nnder the present management Its members are of a'l rationalities, about one-third b3ing Americans. The director. Mr. Sousa. is a natiye of this city, but of Spanish decant. Ha is a handsome man, with, full jet black beard, keen black eye3, and a military figore, and ia extremely popnlar in Washington. The members of the band wear a brilliant and very . handsome uniform of scarlet coat, dark pants and military hat. Tiie facs of membtrs of the band are very familiar in Washington, an besides playing ai a band at zcany public events, its members are permitted to 11 positions in the orshestras of the theaters of the city, tor which service they are eagerly sought, some of the members being considered the fioest in their particular line that the country affords. Eiscnerr, th blind obqaxist. Another prominent figure in the musical world of Washington is Dr. J. W. Biachoff. the wonderfaf blind organist, composer and teacher of music. Fourteen years he has been bete, organist of the First Congregational Church and engaged in teaching music He has a3 an office and maalc rooms

pa. j. w. Biscnorr. a mite of rooms in the basement of the church, and there be sings and plays, and gives instruction, and re ids and writes and walks about unaided and receives bis friends In such a cheerf at, natural way that yoi almost forget that he has not the use of his eyes. All his accomplishments, however, have come to him through other senses than tbat of S'eht, for he became totally blind at the age of two years. His wonderful success Is the result o nntirmg energy and firm determination on his part not to become a burden to any one because of his atil ction. Taught in the Wisconsin State Institution for the Blind, ot which he speaks in the highest and most affectionate terms, he has since devoted himself to the study ot music. And It has well repaid all his labor, for bsalecs making his life a pleasant one. it enables him to earn a much larger sum than the average of humanity who are blesjei with the use of all the senses. His annual earnings run about 14,000 ta f 5,000. He U cozsi&stlj . OTema wita.

tions from persons desirin? t3 obtain it atruction in vocal and inatramamal mnslc and comp ?s!tion, and seldom passes a day in whick he is not oblige! to rrjsctthesa offers became of the pressure npon his time which he now experiences. He has proven himself a most valuable addition to th musical world of Washington, for basldes giving it eo fine an organist and instructor, be has organized and bronght t a most successful state a system of popular concerts, within the reach of aU, in which by combining the wonderful organ of his church and a very fine quartet of female voicss he has captured the popular heart 8) sncce?3tal has this quartet become that It now spends a considerable portioa of its time npon the concert stages of the country with excellent success, being accompanied by Mr. Bisshoff wbf re the points at which it is to appear are sufficiently near to enable him to leicu them without neglect of his duties here. Personally he is not only an agreeable companion but an interesting study. To see him in his rooms surrounded by his music, his books, his type writer, on which he indites all his private correspond d-rcs unaided, his pupils, among trbom ne moves abont in a cheerful, chatty way, recognizing each by voice as promptly as though he looked upon their faces, cr at his home, in the society of his wile aDd children, you would scarcely realize that all is accomplished without a single ray of light He has a clerk who is familiar with music, and who reads to him the musical productions whicn be desires to commit to memory and reprcduce in sound. He simply reads them over to hia as one wonld read the words of a book or newspaper, and they are indelibly fixed in h-.s memory. With very many of the pieces which ne thns memorizes a tingle reading is sufficient. With others tws rr three are required, according to the difficult and complicated character of the production?. When he desires to attend to his private correspondence he turns to his typs writer, an ordinary "caligraph,1 cot diuerins in any particular from these used by seeing persons, and withont any assistance writes his letters more rapidly than the meat acoomplished penman could transcribe them from dictation, striking the letters with wonderful accuracy and rapidity. The typs writer he bescsed for many years, having bsea ona of the first to adont it after its first appearance. At his office and h's residence be tas large libraries, containing all the im port ant works published for the blind, m09. t f which be obtains from tue printing house fcr the blind at Louisville, and besides these n-acy important works printed in th9 ordinary manner, to which he referi with the aid ofjhis clerk, who reads to him from tae-e and frcm the current literature of the day, on which be Is well posted. He walks promptly and fearlessly about his room, visiting the iaoo, organ, library, and desk at will, ae feting without hesitation lidm the various documents therein at will, reaches th whole city and surrounding country at will through the telephone jest above the desk, and walks unaided back and forth between his residence and office. In person he is slightly below the medium height, a figure well developed, a pleasant face which lights up with a smile as he converses, a polished and courtly manner and intelligence npon the topics of the day which would no credit to these who enjoy the privileges which through a life of over forty years have been denied him. MIS3 EVA MILLS. Probably the meat widely known of Washington's vocalists is Miss Era Mills. Ehe was the original "Josephine" in the opera of ''Pinafore," appearing one hundred consecutive nights in this character in New York in the first presentation of that opera. She is now giving most of her time to choir work and teaching. Bhe is a member of the choir

MISS IVA MILLS. at the First Unitarian of this city, where the quartet of which she Is a member furnishes tb e fincist church music in tfee city. 6 he is, as is well known, a step daughter of the late C arke Mills, and was very much lovel by him, his last words, as he ay npon his deathbed, being, "How sweet Ia's voice sounds when the organ plays." She has been for years a marked feature of the choir work of Washington. She was the soprano for many years cf the well-rernemberei choir of Si. Aioyeius Church In Washington, to which crowds used to fleck to listen to the fine mas' c. Ehe has appeared in amateur opera at various times, her most ambitious performance being "Marguerite" in "Faust." TOBACCO. Its Terrible Effects Upon Man. Many diseases of the brain end nerves are tredecedby tbe habitual use of nervous f timulanta, such as tea, coffea and tobacco. It is a general physiological law, that all artificial stimulant ia followed by reaction and titbility. Coffee causes a determination of bicod to tbe head, producing vertigo, dizzir e??, headache, etc , while tea causes great irritability of the nerves of the heart, violent palpitation, etc. When used habitually and ia considerable quantities they derange digestion and cause a great amount of nervous weakness and general debility. Of all habits, that cf tuing tobacco is perbaps the most bewitching and fascinating to its votaries. When we come to consider its cMfgnsticg cdor, its nauseous and disagreeable taste, and its relaxing and debilitating eäects. it iawonderfol how any human being ronld become addicted to its ns9. And we can not account for the fact that while, in ctfcer respects, great attention has been devoted to the improvement of the public health, and with the most gratifying results, in regard to cleanliness, ventilation, diet, end the me ef intoxicating beverages, yet the use of tobacco, owing, perhaps, to its id ere attractive and fascinating effects, is cd on tbe increase, and threatens, more tban anything elee, to undermine the health and destroy the constitution of the American jeoDle. When distilled at a temperature above that cf boiling water it yields an empyrenrustic oil, which proves toba one of the most subtle and virulent poisons, one or two drops of which will kill a cat or dog in fiv minutes! Its active principle, palled nicotina, is far more fatal to animal life than arsenic, opium, or corrosive sublimate, and Is only equaled in its deadly effects by prassle acid. When used habitnally.in small quantities, like opium, it acts like a powerful sedative, and calms end sooths the irritability of the brain and nervous system; and when used in larger quantities it acts as a nauseating and debiliating emetic, and in still larger quantities, as a virulent poison! A piece of the dried leaf of tobacco, as large as a dime, when given to a child a few ears eld, will toon produce vomiting, folowed by the most alarming weakness and prostration cf the nervous and vital forces. A few grains of the dark oily matter easily obtained from an old German pipe, when placed on the end of a do&'a tongue.is almost immediately destructive to life. Now, If these statements are facts, how Is it that so many can rue tobacco habitually without destroying life almost instantly? In fuawex to this inquiry it may be said, only a

s t all quantity at a tine Is taken Into the yattm. Nature has given the human being grr at power of endurance, and under the law cf toleration we are enabled to gradually increate the doee of opium from one grain to a siegle drachm, and gradually increase the amount of whisky from a tablefpoonful to one gallon a day, without causing great In tcxication; and finally, to begin with a small quantity of tobacco each day and to gradually increase it day by day until at last we tecome accomplished chewers, and can cbew a plug a day. Now this law of toleration does not prove ttat tbe habitual use of these poisons is not Irjatious to the human consultation. These imerteting facts only tbow that our vital powers are indeed prodigious, and that they are constantly endeavoring to overcome all morbid and injurious influences; and although the habitual nss of these well kno vn poi?oES may not prove suddenly destructive of tcman life, they do not the less certainly produce their legitimate poisonous infiaeace upon all the various organs ot the body, caniing Irdigestion, nervous debility, epi!epy, apoplexy, palsy, idiocy, and in canity! It is one of the most subtle ar.d penetrating of all poisons, and when us?d habitually its active principle ia readily absorbed Into tbe blood and eoon penetrates ail tbe tiseues of the human body, completely saturating the whole eyfctem with iti peculiar properties, to that we may detect its odor in the breath, and its presence in the perspiration, nrine, and all the secretions of the bedy. When this poisonous weed is use! by the human being habitually, it exer ia a most injurious Influence upon the stomach, cansirglcss of appetite, indegestion; upon the brain, causing serious nervous disordsrs; upon tbe heart, causing violent and dangerous palpitation; upon the lunts, causing shortness of breath, pulmonary debility, and consumption. When we look at any company of Americans assembled for any public purpose, judges, lawyers, legislators, and even ministers, what a nnmber of them are marked as tbe victims of this vicious and loathsome indulgence cf Chewing and smoiin-; tooicco. Their pailid countenances, relaxed muscles, ytliow skin and lips, lancuid step and listless postures, attest its terrible eüect upon their constitutions and their health. Follow these unhappy men to their homes, and how many of them will be fonnd complaining of losso! appetite, pains ia their chests and backs, violent and dangeroas palpitations, with indigestion, whici daily increece until eoxe incurable malady steps la and quickly hurries them to a premature and unt'mely grave. Indeed, the number of our most gifted citizens, our mcst brilliant poets and soho'au, who involuntarily commit suicide in this way, is perfectly appalling! We have been often etrack with the fact so much noticed in our public papers, that wht-n any one dies suddenly of disease of the heart, it is almost always a man; and when you inquire into the particulars of his life. y u will find hin nearly always a user ol tobacco. The experiments of Brodie aid others, slow that tobacco exerts a most pernicioas it-daence upon the nerves ot the heart, längs and stomach, causing frequent sighing and oppression of respiration, violent palpitation ef tbe heart, irregular pulso, the heart beating three or four times very rapidly, and then omitting one or two pulsations, caused by injury and partial paralysis of the eighth pair of nerves; and also how frequently total palsy of these nerves of the heart, when

it slops beating at once and forever, when the man falls and immediately expires. After minute examination by dissection, it will be found that in most of these cases of sudden death, by what is called heart disease, this organ Is fonnd to bs perfectly healthy, and sound in every respect, the perecu dying of paralysis of the eighth pair of nerves, which are sent from the brain to the .leart. lungs and stomach, caused by the habitual use of the terrible poison. An Absent-Minded Barber. "Yes," 6aid the proprietor of an uptown barber shop, "Jim was a good workman, but 1 bad to get rid of him." "What was the trouble?" "He was too absent minded an' forgetful. One old fellow, with a head like a billiard ball, he never failed to ask if he didn't want a shampoo. Another bald-headed old chap got mad because Jim insisted npon Sellin' him a bottle cf 'Eiixer that was warranted to keep the hair from falliu out; an' a young man. who was slightly under the inti&ence of beer, fell asleep in the chair an' Jim shaved off his moustache. I had to call in a policeman then. He cut one man's ear nearly off while watching a dog fight in the street, an' sometime he would rub hair all over a customer's face instead of his head, an fill his ear full of lather and forget to wipe it out. Jim didn't mean mthin' wrong, but as I eaid, he was abgent-minded. Yon remember when old Deacon Jones died?"' "Yes." "Well, the family eent for a barber to shave him, an' I to'd him to go up. It was that job that lost him bis situation. He dii the work all right, nobody every found fault with J im' a work; but when he had put on the finishin touches an' palled the towel off the poor old deacon, he turned 'round an shented "Next!" eo that people heard him a block away. 8o I told Jim that I guessed I'd bare to let him go."

"-w.r-: WILLIAM EW1KT GLADSTONE, BETIRZZ) FROM THE PREMIERSHIP OF Til S USITED KlfSCDOM. Mr. Gladstone resigned the Premiership on June 9, 1S35. after having held It from April 23, 1S80. His resignation wai the direct con sequence of the vote by which ths Bälget was rejected. The Budget proposed an increase in the duties on wises and spirits. Taking advantage of popular clamor raised against this increase, the Opposition took the grouLd that it was inequitable and unnecessary. Contrary to their oirn expectation, that apparently of the supporters of tbe Government in the House of Commons, with probably but few exceptions, and of tie pecple generally, the administration was defeated in the division on the proposed inmasecf duty. The result of tbe diviäloa was an accident bnt of momentous consequence, forcing the opposition into office with a majority of the House of Corumona against theui, with complications In foreign policy to uaravel whca ths Conmvative leaders have as jet Bhown do indi cation of ability, maci as they have aisailäd the policy of tbe Government; and in the fttce ol a general election to take place in the fall, when two millions cf voters will cist their ballots for the first tinia by virtae of a franchhe bill given the country by the la:e Liberal administration. It is hardly cocrivable that Conservative supremacy will outlive the next election, unless, indeed, public sentiment shall S3 undergo change, as to demand a reversal of the policy by which Raseia bas profited in ber iiegotiatioas with England with regard to the Afghan frontier qneetion. This is conceivable of a epiriUd reople, ond depend almost altogether on the attitude to be assumed by Russ:a in the pursuance o! the negotiations, which are as yet incomplete. The downfall of 11 r. Gladstone adds anoUier to ths chances of a great European war, one which, if un dertaken daring a period ot Conservative administration, would either insure the con tinuance cf that party m cm:e as the result of the comirg Parliamentary election or oblige the Libera's to continue the struggle at least long enough to maintain the national prestige. To discontinue a little war in Sou dan or elsewhere involves consequences of no magnitude as compared with what would be the gigantic dishonor ol retirmg bstore Russia after an appeal to arms had been made. These are reasons why lovers of peace everywhere deplore the retirement of the veteran statesman whose portrait is at the head of tbe-erenraiks. William Ewart Gladstone was birn Dace ruber 'I'd, 1K9, the fourth eon of Sir John G adstoce,- &ri, merchant, of Liverpool, and was educated at Eton and at Christ Church, Oxford. He was graduated as double first cla:S man. In 1532 he was elected a member of tbe House cf Commons from Newark, aa a Conservative, and continued to represent that borough until 131.5 He was one of the Junior Lords of toe Treasury, 1S34 35; Under Secretary of state for the Colonies, Jancary to April, 1335; Vice President of the Board of Trade. 1S11 43; President of the Board of Traie, 1S13 5; Sjcretary of State for tbe Colonies, 1S15G; Memb9rof farüaiient for the Lnlvertity or Uxford, 1S17 55; Chancellor of the Exchequer, 13.5253, and a?ain 135! 66; Member of Parliament for South Lancashire, I-S'jjs; ftlenioer or Parliament for Greenwich, 13G3S0; Prime Minister, Dacember 9, 1,;3, to February 21, 1874; Member of Parliament for Midlothian, 1S?0. On April 23. 1330, he was appointid Prime Minister and Ccascellor of the Eichequer. He reigned the last-named poiition December Vi, 1SS2 Mr. Gladstone is unequaled in Parliamentary experince and rtadinets io debate, and hia oratory is of the' hlghtat order. The measures passed in 1S70, which disinherited and disendowed the Irish Church and gave Ireland a liberal land bill, are remarkable evidences of hia skill in originating aid carrying comprehensive schemes of legislation. Among bia achievements since 1S) are a tecend land bill for Ireland, a change iu the rules of procedure in the Hoase of Comrcor.s aud the parage in that body of the Kepresentatioa of tbe People bill, aa election under the provisions of which is an event to tafee place next fail. His foreign policy id ptrhapa generally regarded as leas fortunate than his domestic. He was married in to the eilest daughter of Sir 8tepben Glynn, Bart, who is 6till living. Twc of hia sons sit in th House of Commons one is a clergyman ci the Cfcnrch cf England, and one daughter ia married to a minister of the Establishment. WASHINGTON LEITER.

With your regular correspondent here it may be doubtful whether an "occasional" can furnish you with anything cf epeclal interest. Still the regulars, like other artists they consider themselves artists, you know, and the man who questions it will repent it like other artists they get into a rut, as it were no, have a peculiar style; a distinctive characteristic; comethice eui generis, like pie for every meal if yon will, and there ia a possibility a bare, remote possibility, mind you that a chance for the reader to wander out of the well-beaten track among the grubs and cockle burs, and over the stones, may make him appreciate the artistic way belter. Therefore your "regular" will be benefited by me against his will, and my greatest p'easnre consists in conferring benefits on others. If I should sometimes do so, whether tbey need them or not, it is only on the principle that it is better to give to the unworthy than not to give at all.

My heart began to l.ti up I prayed fervently, and presently aroie Ire in my couch, and, to my great joy, felt perfectly cured. "I have not had a pain nor an ache sines. On Thursday aud Friday evenings I attended prayer meetings and have been out walking ev-ry day. I never felt as well, phyaica'ly. I feel spiritually regenerated. You can believe me implicitly when I say that I am not laLoricg order aoy delusion. My cure has been worked by no animal magnetism, bnt simply by the power of God. For two years I tever left my room. Now lam able to go out and walk anywhere. It is all due, this wonderful, miraculous transformation, to faith and prayer. By all means, tell this abroad, and let the glory be the Lord's." Mrs. Watkins is about thirty-five years of age, tall and slender, with dark expressive ej es, which fairly sparkled as ehe told her extraordinary story. She la of high reapectabtlity and ber neighbors, knowing her to be a lady of perfect credabiiity, place implicit reliance in all she aaye. Tbe Rev. Mr. Heller was also seen by the reporter and he confirmed Airs. vVatkin's story. A Georgia Evangelist The following are g'ems from Brother Sam Jomea, the Georgia preacher dow stirring up Tenneseeeaiis. We eee God all around cs. The mountains are God's thoughts upheaved; the rivers are Gd'a thoughts in motion; the oceans are God's thoughts embedded; the dewdrops are God's thoughts in pearls. Yon d-tn't believe what you don't unierstand? Do you understand why eome coirs bate horns ard eome are muleys? YondonU believe what yen don't see? Did you ever see your backbone? I need to dance, but when I wanted a wife I went to the prayer meeting.and I beat your sort too. I bava no respect for Mahone's politics, but I like his answer to the question ol how much he weighed. He said, "I weigh ninetyhve rounds, ninety pounda of this ia backbone." Some men think they have backbone, but it is nothing but a cctton string run up their barks. There is more religion In laughing than In crying. If religion consists in crying, I have tb beet boy in the world. The lawyer who knows as little about r.lackstone and the Supreme Court reports as the aveiase Christian does about the Bible, would never have one case. The sheriff would be his next client. Red liquor and Christianity won't stay in the tame hide.

How lovely ia a patient woman. God pity tt e man who has a forked-tongue! wife. The matter of eharch doctrine is in i;rdent. If my mother and Brother Wither spoon's mother bad swapped babies, he mieht have been a Methodist preacher. The devil is too much of a gentleman to stay where he -s Dot wanted.

ONLY A NEW3KOY. The Story of a Brave-hearted Lad Whose fctreneth Fatld at Last INew York World. it wea a very email fanersl procession that tended its way slowly from tbe King Cocnty Hospital to the Holy Cross Cemetery at F.atbcsh yesterday morning. There were no lardsoHie carr&iges. no long uriog of tects, enly th horrse containing a smill, plain coffin, followed by a solitary coach. Bat tie mourning was just as sincere as at the JajgBt and moat inipoe;ng faneral. Ardlts8 not cocSnd to the four bnvs wLo eccomramed the body cf their dearest fr;trd to its last resting place. A hundred Leans weie touched by "grief. A hundred ftcf8 were we, witn tears. ' It's only a Dwshov," sa'd a policemnn. Tree, OLly a newsboy, a waif from the etreeta of the great city. Bit na phtlaathropist was ever kinder, no fnend more true, ro ecldier braver than little Joe F.anigo. Every newsboy about the offices of New Yoik'e great journals knew and loved hin. All owed bim a debt of gratitade for the many gocd deeds he had done in his humble way. Little Jce first appeared on the street! of New Ycrk to years ago. He was small and slight, wilh grtat brojrn eyes and pinched lips that always wcrea smile Where he came from nobedy knew and few care J. His paren's be said, were dead and he had no fiieiids. It wss a bard life. Up at 4 o'clock in the mcrnicg after sleeping in a dry-goods box or trn ally, he worked steadily till late at pl.bt. He wss m'scsed at firtt B g boys stole his papers or crowded him out of a warmpltceat night, but he never comj. itfd. The tears wonld well np in his ejss, but were quickly brushed away and a tew Hart bravely made. Such conduct won him frerds, ard after a little no othrdarfd p:8y tricka on Little Joe, Hii friends be re mrultrfd, sr.d hia eoe-mies he forgtve. Some days lie had especially good luck. Klnc-tearted people pitied the little fello and bought papers whether th?y wanted tifm ornct. Bat he was tco generous to save money enough even for a night's lodirg. Every boy wno "got stuck" knew he was sure to get enough to buy supper 9 long es Joe kad a penny. Eut the hard work and exposnre benn to teilen his wtak constitution. He kept growing thinner and thinner, till there ws Ec&jceiy an ounce of rJesh on hia lit'le body. Tbe skin cf his face was drawn closer and clcber. but the ple&s&nt look never Uiel away. Pie was uncomplaining to the last Two weeks ago he awofce one morning after wctkicg herd fielling "extras" to find himself too weak to move. He tried hi best to tet open bis feet, but it was a vain attempt, ffce vital force waj goae. "Where is Little Joe? ' was the universal Inquiry. Nobody Lad een bim enee the previous night Finally he was found in a secluded corner and a good-natured hackman was persuaded to take him to the n jspital in Fiatbush, where he sa'd he ones lived. Every day one of the boys went t see him. On Saturday a newsboy wbo had abused him at first and iearned to ovehisi afterward, fcund him sittirgepin his cot, hia little blue-veined hand stretched out ni.cn the coverlet. "I was afraid you wasn't coming, Jerry," he seid with ecme difUcnity, "and I wanted to 6?e yon once mere eo much. 1 gueEs it w 11 te the last time, Jerry, for I feel awful weak to day. Now, Jerry, when I die I want yon to be good for my sake. Tell the beys' Bnt his message never was completed. Little Joe was dead. His sleep was calm and beautifuL Tbe trouble and anxiety on hia wan face bad disappeared. Bat th expression vrs.8 still there. Even in death he sn-ilcd. It waa sad news that Jerry bore ba:k to hia frier. da cn that day. They feared tbe end wes near aud were waiting for him with amicus hearts. VLen they saw his tear stalne-i face thty knew tbat liitie Joa wai dead. Not a word was said. They felt as t! they were in the presence of death itself. Their hearts were tco full to speak. That night a hundred bovs met in front of tbe City Hall. They Mt that they must exrr es their eenee of less in eome way, bnt how they did not know. Finally, in accordance with tie suggestion cf one of ths larger be s they paEEed a resolution whicn read as foilcwa: Ret-oUtd, Tbat we all liked Little Joe, who was tlie beet newebov in Kew York. Everybody is sony he has died. A collection was taken np to send delegates to the funeral, and the tame hackman who bore little Joe to the hospital again kindly of rcd tbe use of his carriage. The burial tuk place jes'erday. Oa the coffin was a p'ate, purchased by lh boys, who?e language ss expressive from its very simplicity. Thia üs tbe inscription: - LittieJoe, : Cüetlt "Ibe Best Nesior in New York. Wi ALL LIüED HIM. There wer no services, but each boy eent a flower to be placed upon the coffin of hia fiiend. After all. what did it matter that little Joe wes dead. He was ocly a newsbcy. lb s is not a fancy skeich. E .-ery word of Hip i bove story is true.
