OUR YOUNG BLOODS.

To the Editor of the Evening Star. Sir. A little while ago attention was called to the disgraceful conduct of certain young men who walk about our streets : I allude to the manner in which young girls are insulted and jostled when walking quietly home from work. For instance, last Saturday night, when walking down by the Custom House, I met two girls, who asked me to prevent a young man from following them, for he had been using insulting language. 1 spoke to the individual in question about his conduct, and was told by him to mind my own business. I looked around for a policeman, hut could not see one. Again, on Sunday night I met a friend, who informed me that in coming from church his wife’s hat was knocked over her eyes by some one in the dark. I could name a number of instances like these, where even respectable, looking young men are concerned. Yours, &c., Subscriber. George sfreet, Nov. 1. [lt is to be hoped that the police will be ah'.c to gob hold of sorgo of these offenders against good order and decorum, and that au example will be ma le of them.— Ed. E.S.]
