ga WAGGIsH THIEF.-There are wags
among thieves as among other classes of
men, albeit they are few in number, and a
public exhibition of wit on their part is
about as rare as the vcriication of the
saying that there is honor among thieves.
A case occurred in Cincinnati, the other
day, wherein a:pickpocket of the first class
performed a very clever trick He visit
ed, few days since, in that city, public
gathering, and the trick in question:
l"ughable one to all but the party prac-
ticed on-was the Withdrawing of a Iady's
purse, emptying it, putting the contents in
his own pocket, and the purse in the pock-
ct of one of the policemen stationed to
look out for thieves, artfully extracting, Mt
the same time, his pocket handkerchief in
the way of exchange.

B5~F For several nights the Moon has

supposing she intended to shine, have not
lit the city lamps. The consequence
people had to grope about in the dark
during the early part of the night. Last
night the moon played DO peep with tue
town, and it was long while before we
could tell whether she was going to shine
or not. There ought to be some under
standing between these two luminaries.
