 SHARP PRAcTIeE.--A shrewd trick was re- gently practlced in Lendon.l A dandy, dressed
 up in the most faultless style called at a large jewelrY store, and after a short examination, bought q gold watch for twenty pounds, and he handed the reioiced salesman one hundred pound note. He examined it carefully and finding it to be, geIuinee he gave him back the required change, ESQ. Just as he was stepping out of the store, he was met by another dandy, equal.y,as well dressed, and whom lie seemed to recognize. Heiexhibited his newly bought watch to his friend, and was very profuse in
 his praises about it and its fine finish. Both stepped back into the store, and a short persua- sion on the part of tho first dandy induced the new conner to buy similar watch for the sau1e prics-+ lke also paid far hia watch with a. Glln note and received his change, after the eNpe ! #. AI>. A.l,, note was geruine.
 But just as the dandy was in the act of apocketng the money and watcf both dandies suddenly appeared much asitated ;they looked into the stfeetrand whispered to each ether,
 then suddenly made a dash to the door. But 10 the disinay and discbmffture of both a coif
 stable jumped out of the carriage, collared them both, and with a iri,nip iphant.'I havegot you ut last, you scoundrels,' Jed them back in to the store. Here he informs the dealer that these two gentlemen are two of the sharpest swiiiders in London and asked the jeweler
 what busincsshe had with then.f t'lhese Geii-
 tlemen have bought two gold watches for fog7 ty pounds, and paid for them in good mouey," said the nowfrightened dealer '".', ''-''''3
 The constable laughed right out, and asked
 hin if it had not been paid inltutidred pound
 notes. , The iewelier said i. he had, 2 fearful light beginning to. dawn upon him; The con stable then, demanded to see the notes. The
 "scofpordr delicti' were produced, ,eand the con stable informed the now thunder stricken deal- CT that the notes were forged, and the culprits, overwhelmed with the weight of their guilt. .si 'lehtlyy acknowledged the deed. The vigilant officer, iuhilent over this important arrest, seizes watches, mofiey and prisoners and sum iii0hing fhet weller to attelid te police bureau in an hour, puts the prisoners in a carriage and, drives off ana gallop.Ioa 2 ,isai saHt II q lust as the last sound of the carriage had died away in the distance, the ,jeweller recover ed from his surprise. It now occurred to him that perhaps it would have been better fine had accompanied jthe ! strange expedition. Breathless, . he dashed out, but the cab had vanished. He made inquiries at, the police bureau, but the sharp trio had vanished, and neither cabaor men were ever seen again. Deeply hurt at the immortality of times, which even made the sacred uniforms of the police serve them in their nefarious schemes the com patriot of the great McD Donald returned home a sadder but a wiser man.
