PAINCE OP PARIS PICKPOCKETS.—The police on
duty on Sunday, near the Theatres on the Boulevards,
noticed in the crowd a venerable-looking man with white
hair, who Moved to and fro in a peculiar manner. Having
closely examined him, one of them cried," Why, it is Nathan
—the senior and the chief of the pickpockets of Paris:" and
they determined not to lose sight of his movements. Pre-
sently they saw him stand politely aside, to allow a lady to
pass, and at the same time plunge his hand into her pocket,
and steal a puree, The thief coolly examined it, and laughed
on seeing it well stocked. He emptied the cash into his
pocket, and threw the purse away. The police then seized
him. The lady who had been robbed could scarcely believe
her eyes when the agents called to her, and presented her
with her purse. Besides the sum stolen from her. Nathan
had several pieces of gold in his possession. lie was sent to
the Prefecture of Police.— Galignani's Messenger.
