deaVoFing to alIay it-and so it came to pass with
Mary o'Brien, 4 prisoner prisoners are always
interesting to kind soufs-a prisonerla lay within the
bars of the Second District lookup, signing for
liberty and the free air of e&iilarating streets.
He was lone and weary the sword of Justice hang
ng over his head by hair, aud his threat parched
with the calling "Reminiscences Of departed drunks.
Mary, whose heart is sensitive and whose hand is
open, saw the poor fellows distress and clanIes-
timely attempted to farnish him with sufficient
amount of whisky TO comfort his pining sonl. It
would have been very well if sle had not been
seen, for as success is the standard Of right SO Is
detection the substance of crime: but aiasI sic
was caught in the act, charitable hut nnlawfnl;
and being arraigned before Recorder Gastfnel "
this Rnfnching arbiter Of Justice sentenced her to
pay fine of five dollars, in Default be inpris-
oned for two days. The next time she gets IN
such a fix, we advise Mary to think of the old
song:

It will save greenbacks and whisky, without in

RAsHIY hrPoBTVNATE.--A lady by name Mrs
NORTH was arrested day before yesterday at half
past ten O'Clock in the morning. on Yillere street.
by policeman j. Cassidy, charged by ]. r. Callicoe
vita attempt to commit suicide She appeared
this morning before Recorder Gastinel, who dis
missed her for further examination.
No CO. Recorder Gastinel sentenced a man by
the name Of John Riverty to pay afine of tendol-
lars be imprisoned for fifteen DAYS for carving
Econcealed weapons. 1t tseems that this gentleman
| sported bowie knife Of dangerous temper and
dimensions, inimicaI to the peace and quiet Of
Danphine street. When arrested, he tempted the
policeman with offers of gold to let him 60, but
i duty was paramount consideration with this Of
fcer of the law, who seorned the groffered bribe
and true to his dignity, conducted his Warlke cap
tive to the police station.
A Row IN THE FRENCH MARKRT.-Y Yesterday
morning, at about IL O'clock the French Market
was the scene of an encounter which resulted in
darksy by the name Of Coleman Triplett receiving
a bullet through the breast. AS policemen McIn-
| tyre and Wicklow were making their accustomed
rounds through this populons thoroughfare, they
saw the aforesaid Trplett sitting on stall, in
contravention to city ordinance No. 404 they were
proceeding to arrest him for this breach Of the
law, when the feroeious African drew a knife and,
charging upon the officers with uplifted arm, made
| several vigorous passes at them. Judging from
the darkey's furious lunges, things would have re-
suited fatally to one of the officers of the law had
| not policeman Mcintyre, entirely in self-defense,
| and to preserve his own life, drawn his revolver
and shot the rebelhous freedman. Theball passed
through his breast; we could not ascertain under
what exact ctconditions, but the wounded man was
conveyed to the eontraband hospital in charity
wagon, in rather dangerous condition.
| PuGILIsTIc-Recorder Gastinel fined yariously,
! in sums between five and ten dollars the fol ,
lowing parties, who indulged in the unlawful pas
time of fighting and disturbing the peace generally:
Lena Gray, Kate MeFall, John Allyn, Alexander
White, Harrison Pierre, George Fisher, Joseph
Lachez and William Warren. !.
HIGHWAY RoBBERY.---We publish the following
as caution to some Of our lady readers who are
in the habit Of carrying their money in their hands
instead of securing it in their pockets. where
| thieyish hands cannot so, easily get at it:
As lady by the sname of Mrs Condor was
passing through Congo Square on Saturday morn
ing, at about haltpast nine o'clock, carrying in
her hand very pretty and well filled poeket-book
of blue velvet, trimmed with white beads, which
hung gracefully down. secured by a bright chain of
shining metal, she was attacked suddenly by an in
diyidual who forgot to go through the vain cere-
tt,&r
rules OF etiquette demanded so that we find our
selves under the impossbility of giving his name
to our readers
The auceremonious fellow, forgetting unpardon-
ably, said before, to give his and titles,
brutaHy snatched the pocketbook from the hands
of ths fair proprietor and, like the baseless facrc
ofit dream,'' disappeared. The last the unfortu-
materially Of her despoier, was his retreating
form losing itself to sight behind the angle of a
street corner.
Her feelings may be better imagined than de-
soribed. She mad lost an elegant pocket-boob
(nade to carry outside of the pocket, fifty-fouI
dollars in greenbacks, five gold pieces of the value
l5of two dollars and a half, some small change toe
insignificant TO MENTION and her faith in the cour
J Etesy and honesty Of masculine bipeds.
