New-York daily tribune., 1857-09-28


As the Winter and the election approach We may
expect revival of the robberes and rufhnism which
were prevalent last year. The police force i:
scarcely two thirds strong as it should be- and with
the best of intentions it will be impossible to watch al
the rascas that nfest the city. Judcious seprotec
tiOn is good thing and few hints as to its manage
ment may not be amiss.
Don't drink rum. Liquor is the first step toward
trouble. little renders you over bold--a little more
makes you quar1esome.
Don't NEEDLE with strangers. A close mouth seldom
gets any in trouble. IL any loafer backgus-ds
you do rot descend to his level and talk back. His
words cannot hurt-bis fist may. Keep quiet aud
pass on.
Don't mix in street crowds, especially after dark.
They are often got up purposely to pick pockets.
Don't hang around corners where vagabonds of
either sex resort You will be spotted and be apt to
get bruised face and lose your watch and money.
If necessarily out at night take the broadest and
best lighted streets and have eye for deep door
ways and other hiding places.
Weapons are generally more trouble than profit.
revolver is no protection against the rutlian who
pounces upon you unawares. knife is scarcely more
available. Besides, if you shoot you may kill, and
stances.
Thus by keeping your mouth shut against liquor and
against bebbng, by keeping out of crowds and dark
alleys-in short, by minding your own business and
never meddliug with otler', you may reasonably
expect to get along at any hour without difficulty.
