THE POLICE OF Observation-Disclosures you
70 in England, Ireland or Scotland, the police
are sure to attract the admiration of the
stranger. They seem to be everywhere the
same class of men. all dressed in the same
uniforms. each Of the required height of six
feet, drilled TO walk erect, with military
step, and to maintain an air of responsibility
and authority that gives character to them
blue swallow tailed coats, and pants of the
same color, the coat being buttoned up to
the throat with metal buttons. Their hats
are of fur, with oil-cloth tops, and they
wear their numbers on the hatband in silver
figures. The fact of their all being of uniform
hight, and of erect. manly carriage, shows
that they are picked men, none of them
seeming to be forty years of age or under
thirty. They are never seen without white
cotton gloves on, or with the slightest
evidence OF negligence in dress or personal
appearance. They move about with their
cleanly shaved faces and neat appearance
like so many walking statues, always alert in
the performance of their duties, and when
ever they have occasion to interfere, it is
with voice and air of authority that no one
would dare to dispute. They are not allowed
to lean against lamp-posts, smoke cigars,
talk on the corners with acquaintances,
enter taverns except on duty, or to slack
their vigilance for a moment under any
pretence To the stranger, their services
are invaluable, and they will, with the
politeness of a Chesterfield, impart whatever
information may be required, or direct him
to pass on to the next officer, who will point
on. the locality ne is in search OF.
