Police Court
Notwithstanding the beautiful snow"
yesterday morning, and its natural con-
comitants of mud and slush, we arrived
at the police court in time to hear the
rehearsal of all the best actors. Al
though there was a very large attend
ance Of spectators on the occasion TO
greet the new aspirsnts for fame as
"bummists," the performance was Of a
very ordinary character and failed te clio
it the faintest whisper of applause from
these present. There was not much
life in their representations, and the
Characters that they attempted to as
sumo showed that they needed much
more practice before they could claim
the honor Of being star performers.
The great play of drunk and disorder
~" that has been run with unprece
dented success ever since the court has
opened, as rendered by some of the best
galOots in the country, was SO tame
yesterday that one OF the actors was
discharged without any ceremony, or
leaving the legal amount with the city
to pay the expenses for securing his
presence in the rehearsal.
The other talent on the occasion was
Young IN the business, but showed evil
dence of promising ability. A few les
sons from some of the older bummists
Whose services can always be secured
for the PTvmise of@ JiIuA) VIII MAKE
them proficient in the profession they
have chosen to follow, aud IN short
time We will be able TO publish MINER
Gus instances in which they give per
formances for the benefit of the city
where they pay all the expenses. This
footing all the cost is quite an item and
insures a chance for any young mai,
ambitious for fame as a benzinlst, 10 get
a crowd to hear his natural element re-
viewed, which frequently reveals with
greater truth more secrets than the
most learned phrenologists finds after
examining his head for week. 1t is
true, sometimes, in preparing for your
appearance unnatural bamps arise on
your head, but that is alwas taken as
the best evidence that you are good
sctsr, and gives the audience a better
chance of judging of your peculiar line
of business on the stage of life. In con-
sequence You should always appear
with YOUR head uncovered. The fol-
lowing performers appeared yester-
day, and after paying for acting their
part in the drama of life, went on their
way rejoicing.
1t was rumorei that Abraham Richie
was somewhere upon the streets in
beastly state of intoxication, and that
! IL was necessary to provide him with a
place to rest his manly form. Upon
examination of witnesses it was found
that these rumors were weak inyen'
tior Of the enemy" In consequence,
| Abraham's case was dismissed at the
cost Of the complainant.
! Ernest Baker thought that one
| Charles Gilbert had forgotten him, and
concluded that he would quicken has
memory, by few slight taps abont the
ear and then administer several inser-
tons with the end of his boot. As
mi ght be expected, this improved Nr.
Gilbert's memory at once, but not adj
miring the style of Mr. Bakers familiar
operations he had. him arrested on the
charge Of assault and battery. His
honor, Judge Good, thought that it
was worth ten dollars to perform this
line of characters, and in consequence,
fined Mr.. Baker that amount and costs.
h Charles Linn experiences great de-
light in bearing himselfsTear and in
making a boisterous noise, and imag-
ines THAI everybody else is like him
Charles, the last time, performed IN
front Of the Grant House, but not meet
ing with the success he expected, he
was taken to secluded quarters, from
which be emerged yesterday morning
and paid the city ten dollars and costs
to say no more about the matter.
The case of VIM. Carney, charged
with disorderly conduct, was settled
without coming before the Court
1t was plain that George Fl. Howard
had experienced q severe shock of the
