nm sorry for this, as it may tend to injurc
him when he needs their assistance; and
here let me say that much Of this prejudice is
unjust, and a great deal Of i'll feeling might
be avoided by sage-brush Bohemians il they
would remember to adhere to the following
simple rules:
First-When getting drunk seek the com.
pany Of gentlemen, not that Of Pacific street
iayhawkers. The police are apt to Judge OF a
man asthey find him, and finding him among
thieves, don't elevate him in their opinion.
Second-When you find yourself in the
hands Of the police, 60 quietly along until
you see a carriage, then ask the policeman
to ride with you to the calaboose. Police
men are paid SIPS per mouth to do all sorts
OF dirty work, and in spite of their feelings
will find no valid excuse for refusing to ride
with you, under the circumstances.
Third-Always keep a small deposit Of
FIVE or ten dollars on hand with the clerk at
the calaboose, to serve as bail, which will en-
able you to depart as soon as you get mod
erately sober, and not compel you to remain
there over Sunday.
Fourth-If you have no money on deposit,
as stated, and nom to hire u carriage, do not
lay down on the ground and compel them to
drag you by main strength. Dragging your
legs on the sidewalk always aggravates a po-
liceman. and you are apt to get kicks for
your pains.
Fihh-When you have been searched, and
your tobacco and toothpick safely locked up,
90 quietly into the cell and lay down on your
blankets, instead Of standing ut the grating,
cursing and INDUCING in obscene language
until they lock you up.
As I said before, observing these few sim
pie rules will save u heap OF hard feelings be-
tween you and the police. In justice to
Twain, l must say that he now understands
all these rules, but when he first came down
here he was so green that he had no idea Of
what he ought to do under the circumstances,
and he seems to hold to an old grudgc like u
Camanche.S He has a friend named Noyes,
who was once a policeman, but left the force
for reasons which / will not refer to here,
and the two manage to get up some awful

A Il accounts agree that the beligerents have
and are making gigantic preparations for

probably, be about equally divided between

leon for aid-promising him the Island OF
Sicily as compensation. No importance
is to be attached to this statement; although
it can not be expected that France will long
remain an idle spectator of the fight; and
the report that much activity prevails there
in military matters, goes to support this sup
position. As Napoleon has pretty strong y
.ntimated that war must result in the recon-
struction Of the map of Europe, it need Gre.
ate no surprise, now that hostiIiies bave
commenced, to soon hear that French armies
have occupied the German provinces on the
French side Of the Rhine, as an earnest that
the Emperor intends that reconstruction
shall commence by restoring the boundaries
Of France, as under the Republic and the
First Napoleon.
