kindness resisted by the dwarf who said that he
was as good any other man. and expressed his de-
termination of submitting to such degration as to

The policeman, unwilling to put the little man to any
personal inconvenience, desired him to get upon his
feet take hold Of the skirts of his coat and that by
that means he would help him along as he quite
incapable ofproceeding by himself The dwarf how
ever, rejected TO this mode OF conveyance and began
to swear that no dozen policemen should remove him
while he had hand and foot TO resist their Efforts
"Oh," said the policeman, "my little man, If you are
so rumbustious all that must insist upon your
coming along and if you don't by fair means you must
by foul" ''With that" said the policeman II caught
him up in my arms, and on bringing him along he
kicked, and scratched and bit, and in fact made the
most vigorous attempts to get away; and made dis
turbance by bawng out and calling upon the passen-

The policeman said that the dwarf was one Of the
most drunken little men on his side Of the water, and
that he often gave great deal of trouble, for although
he was SO dlmnuuve IN point of stature yet he was
of powerful strength, and always excried II when he
was drunk, which was not unirequcntly the case.
The dwarf said that II was not his fault for getting
drunk; il was the fault of his friends, who
content with letting him wet eye but would also
make him wet the other, and the consequence was
that he was often left make the best of his way
