earn a penny in New York city, hoping to once
more trade upon the fears of weak-kneed manu-
facturers, and he has associated with himself a
man whose position as the husband of a pianist
is not over lucrative at present. This man is
farced into a corner, and so allies himself with
such a fellow as Freund, in the hope of levying
upon the piano and organ makers.
When we heard the first rumors that these
worthies intended starting a musical paper, we
knew that it WAS their last gasp, and that the
Illustrated Railroad World—which this fellow
Freund brought out about five months ago, with
the insane idea that shrewd railroad men would
countenance a person with such a record as his—
was preparing to suspend publication. The last
number of the Railroad World that we have been
able to obtain appeared early in November, but up
to this date the December number has not been
heard from. Inquiry made of the United States
News Company, sole agents for Freund's Railroad
World, brings out no certain information concern-
ing its fate. The company have not heard from
it, do not know anything about it, and, if a certain
hilarious manner, when the subject is referred to,
counts at all, they have but little confidence in its
appearance in the future.
Before beginning our "Reminiscences of a Mu-
sical-Journalistic Beat," we shall reprint two edi-
torial articles which appeared in New York daily
papers at the time this fellow Freund made his
celebrated skip from his defrauded creditors, in
January, 1880.
The first is from the New York Times :
