AT The TOMBs.

AT TOMBs
The usual deleeiable variety served up yester.
day morning in the Tombs to crafty such as have
morbid taste for the funny the rich the disgusting aud
the horrible. Drunken men snd women thieves, pill
erers prostitutes, pmps and other varieties OF char
acer were fully and ably represented. One little girl
of about eight years was arragned on charge OF
stealing some potatoes. Though clothed IN garments
betokening the most AFFECT poverty and misery, yet
her face was sweet and expressive. The only thing
which could be done for her by the Court to send
her to the Juvenile Asylum, where she will be better
cared for than she would be at her former home.
The topers were disposed of in the usual manner
sent up for ten days Every Of them swore to hav
ing been drunk, which was quite supe,fuous and
they swore too that they got their liquor somewhere
which was also superuous but if they had given the
definite location of somewhere, such would not have
been superhuous. This they did not do.
The name Of Mary Foster was called Ayoung
woman OF about twenty-five whose face had evident
" cut the acquaintance of sand, soap and watea for
some time responded Here and as she approached
the bar she threw Sleeps eyes at the Judge
