LET Us TAKE SnrLs !-Y estcrday German
named Heinrich Bremen went, with warrant, to
officer Parkhurst, OF the Eighth precinct, and
stated that maa named Henry Middlestate, who
boarded at the Capitol Restaurant, on north
street, between First street and Delaware avenue,
threatened to take his life The man was very
much frightened, and said that Middlestate had
lent his wife some money before he had married
her, and on this account he Threatened to shoot
him If did not pay the money. The policeman
went with him to the restaurant and saw Mr.. Mid
dlestate, against whom the warrant had been
issued. Mr. Middiestate was surprised to see Mr.
Bremen lamenting, and Mr.. Brease was surprised
to see Mr.. Middiestats lsughing. Mr.. NJ. told the
officer that he did not say he would take Bremer's
life, but his pife, which he said In Jest. Brencr
looked at Middlestatc, Middiestste looked at
Bremen, and both looked at each other, until they
broke forth Into Teutonic interchange Of feeling
which was unknown to the policemen and un-
meant by tn. Germans. The last seen Of the jolly
couple was their entrance into the restaurant.
The last heard from their Teutonic tongues MAS
the following, or something sounding like It:
"Lasscn uns init der siassern kiAngen," which, =
learned student, with long locks and bright spec
taces, told our police ofhccr, meant "Let US klink
with our glasses" At this moment the students
glasses fell from his phlosophic nose, and were
heard klinking on the stony pavement. Is that
the way to "klink with glassest" asked the po-
iiceman. Oh no, replied the student, to "klink
with glassss IL not to lot fall your spectacles,
but to stake SMILE" 90, according to the stu
dent, "Let US take q smile" WAS the finale Of

sumo the German sentiswsn shook hards upon
parting, and swore an etsrnsi friendship.
