MODE OF PICKING POCKETS IN OMNIBUSES
A writer in the New York Post thus describes
an attempt made on her pocket in an omnibus :
A young woman got in the omnibus and sea-
ted herself next to me; it was raining and she
had wet umbrella, which she stood up next to
me but she changed the position of it and finally
laid it down under her feet. We had not gone
far when l felt my pocket move as if drawn slow
ly. / Immediately drew it up and held on to it
for a short time, when / began to think it might
be accidental, and took my hand off of it. In
about ten minutes it began to move again, and
was drawn on one side; then I put my hand
under my dress and finding all safe in the pocket
drew it under my hand and held it. The young
woman began looking in the straw as if hunting
for something, and on being asked what she wan
ted, replied her umbrella, as she wanted to get
out. | could not be certain at the time that she
had anything to do with the movement of my
pocket but on reaching home | found that the
pocket had been cut it was Jagged as if cut by
sharp hook. But the cut was not large enough
for the portmannaie to fall through, aud being so
much on the lookout saved me from loss
She no doubt expected to find the portmannaie
in the straw, as she knew she had cut the pocket

THE OLDEST SHIp.-The bark Maria arrived
at this port last evening from three years cruise
in the Indian Ocean She was built at the town
Of Pembroke, now called Hanson, for a privateer
during the revolutionary war; She was bought
by VIM. Rotch, a merchant at Nantucket, after
wards of this city, in the year 1888, and in the
same year she made a voyage to London with a
cargo of oil. Her register is dated A. D. 1882,
and she is consequently in her 18th year. She
claims to be the first ship that displayed the
United States flag in British port after the
revolutionary war, which flag is now in existence,
though in shreds Her model is of old French
construction, tumbling home or rounding very
much in her top Sides and she is consequently
very narrow on deck in proportion to her size,
202 tons. 1t is said that there is standing to
her credit over $500, 000 and from the earliest
history of this ship she has never been any ex-
pense by loss to underwriters except once, and
