FANCY POLICE REPORTS.
BY pGsTIcKs-AFTER HAVING HEARD LOUISE
PYNE.

Mr.. B. Percy Delaney Blobb had been
arrested for disturbing the rest and quiet
of an unappreciative neighborhooh by
bawling forth at midnight most unmelotli-
Us yelis, which when apprehendcd, he as
sured the officer were capital limitations of
Sontag and Crisis. Mr.. Blobb, altho'
pretending to gentility, and disguised in
some of the habliments that gentleman
wear, had been discovered by Policeman
1901 in q street in most plebeian state
of fsirtinkenness-not SO much SO bnt that
he could sing, as he called it, and could
talk after an original fashion of his own
His ideas were slightly confused; he infor-
med the officer that he had been to hear
Louisa Grown sing the Pyne Diamonds
and that he met friend who took him 10
billiard shop to see a clam race; that
he and his friends bet the whiskey on the
result; that he drank for both and that
heshad passed the remainder of the eve-
ming in magnorious manner, singing
Storm Columbus Yankee Bodies and
the Star Strangled Bladder.
The officer had taken hhn to the lock-
up where he finished the night singing
Good Old Daniel, whstling the Prima
Donna waltz, and playing an imaginary
piano on the floor, in which attempt he
had broken off his finger nails and put his
wrist ont of joint. When brought into
court he was still wild, and disposed to
regale the assembled company with num-
IF inh ha h,I
at his tongues end-His shirt collar was
wilted, his neck tie was pointing towards
his nigh eye like that of Burton in the
IToodles,' his hair was out of curl, aud the
damp of the cell or the excitement of the
occasion had so affected his hair dye, that
one-half of his moustache was a dirty
yellow, and the other a pale green, while
his goatee was brilliant brick color, set
off with spots of blue. He kept an eye
constantly on the Judge, while he distri-
buted the glances of the other equally
among the officers and other spectators
He was musically distinct, refusing TO an
swer any questions or make any remarks
except in scraps of songs, which he sung
in q low voice, mixing up the tunes in a
most perplexing manner. Being possessed
of an excellent memory and having large
assortment of melodies at his command,
his answers were sometimes more amusing
than relevant. The Judge proceeded to
interrogate him some what as fellows:
Judge--What is your name, sir?
Prisoner--eMy name is. Robert Kid, as
! sailed.
Indignant oficerHo lies, your Honor.
his name is Blobb.

OF private lectures under the direction
aud instruction OF gentlemen Of extensive
experience and Of UNSURPASSED scientific
attainments and skill. Daring the course

gated prescribed for and lectured on be.
! fofe the class; clinical demonstrations and
! lectures III private houses and dissections
whenever subjects could be, by any means
whatever. obtained
! We were assembled on one dark stormy
evening, in the lecture room. A lecture
! ny the Professor, on The Theory and prac-
tee of Medicine Was progressing, when a
feeble rap at the outer door was heard.
The porter, whose duty it was to at
tend and answer, and report all business
calls. Immediately announced man in
waiting, and that he had a dead body in
MS wagon under the shed, and if the Pro-
ftssOr or the students wished one fresh
from the grave and bat recently deceased,
he would dispose Of il at fair compensa-
ton. A bargain VAS al once made the
price demanded, 500, WAS paid, and the
body deposited on the table. The lee
turc, OF course, was Interrupted, but as
soon as this matter was disposed Of the
! lecture proceeded.
AT the close OF the lecture, however, it
was proposed and decided to dssect the
body. 1t was diSroicd Of grave clothes,
and 10. behold the body of young lady,
even iii death Of unsurpassing beauty; and
Il seemed, on first view, more in a state
Of calm and placid sleep than Of death,
and isToiuntariiy all were still and hushcd
as tIic grave from which the body had
been taken, lest she should be awakened
from pleasant dreams. No cuiptor could
mould or Imagination conceive a form
more beautiful, more perfect than the an
gei!c form before uS. No member Of the
class could raise the knife as Il token of
commencing the task OF dissection. No
one c0Hld mark or iaar a form SO lovely.
Bat horror Of horrors One of our most
. Intelligent and promising associates, whose
attention had been diverted during the act
Of uncoyering the body, took his place at
the table. And shall we forget the heart
rending scene that foilowed2-No, nerer'
This Young man was about closing his
course ofstudy, and had promised his heart
and hand to an Interesting and dearly low
ell young lady in a neighboring village
fondly expecting, as soon as he could
establish himself in business, to be united
to her in marriage. Bat about one week
prior to this evcntful evening, after short
illness, she died, and it was her body on
the table before us! The first glance on
the remains Of the lovely female, by this
student, he recognized it, and with most
unearlhIy groan aud shrek, fell to the floor
and that moment his reason took flight,
never to return; that moment he was, left
a wreck of departed intelligence and prom
ising greatness. Until death closed the
scenes he was q raving maniac.

all the graphic productions Of the great Bal
Of North Britsin-the late Sir Waiter Scott.
The feast is DER! Now trimming wine
In lordly cup is seen to shine
Before each eager guest,
And silence fills the crowned hall,
AS deep as wheu the herald's call
Thrills 10 the royal breast.
Then up arose the noble host
And smiiiug cried, GA toast! toast!
.a To all our ladyes fair;
Here, before all, pledge the name
OF Staunton's proud and beateous dame
The Lady Gunlamert'
Then to his feet each gallant sprung,
And Joyous was the shout that runS
As Stanley gave the word;
And every cup was raised on high,
Nor ceased the loud and gladstone cry,
Till Stanley's voice was heard.
..EnouSh, enough" he smiling said,
And lowly bent his naughty mead;

NOW each III luIh llIuSe Pi'EE hAS pan,
And pledge the ladye of his heart,
Like gallant knight and true
Then one by one each guest sprung up,
And drained in turn the brimmng cup,
And named the lov'd ones name;
And each, as hand on high he raised,
His ladye's grace or beauty praised,
Her constancy or fame.
Tis now St. Leon's turn TO rise;
On him arc fixed those countless eyes
A gallant knight is he;
Enyied by some, admired by ALL
Far-famed in ladyc's bower and hall,
The flower of chivalry.
st. Leon raised his kindling eye,
" And lifts the sparkling cup on high
al drink to ONE" he said,
!" Whose image never may depart,
Deep craven on this grateful heart,
Till memory be dead.

So holy tits and true;
To one whose love hath longer dwelt,
More deeply fixed, more keenly felt,
Than any pledged BY syeil. $780,

And laid his hand upon his sword,
- With fury flashing eye.
II And Stanley said: ssWe crave the name,
: Proud knight; of this most peerless dame,
Whose love you count so high"
st. Leon paused, as If he would
Not 1bfeath her name in careless mood,

To give that werd the reEerencedue,
And gently said, .'My Mother. :"

Tault Finding.

There is a disposition observable III

againstthis tendency. Nothing will more

Gun Cotton.

Inquiries having been made of US lately
as to the use of gun cotton, and whether
it could take the place of gunpowder, we
have obtained the following information
on the subject from the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition, viz: Gun cotton cannot be made
with anything like the same uniformity in
strength as guapowder, and its explosive
property diminishes On being kept any
length of time 1t can be used with safe
.ty in the discharge of firearms, but not
with SO much safety as powder. Its cost,
weight for weight is little more than
gunpowder but owing to the greater
strength force for force it is cheaper.
The Governments of France, Prussia,
Austria, Russia and England, have made
a great number of experiments on the
use of gun cotton in firearms, and in all
cases the experiments were against its
adoption in the place of gunpowder. lii
blasting rocks it is extensively used The
objections to its use are the inequality Of
its action compared with gunpowder, the
effect in the gun is greater, its projectile
force varies with the compression of it in
the gun, it attracts more moisture, alters
slowly from the loss of acid, eXplodes
under some circumstances at l54 degrees
Fahrenheit, the large size of the cat
ridges, &c-Stdr.
