Police PIckinSs.

T.. x. Nichols, Esq, and Gruo Hoe "met
by chance, the usual way" last Monday on
College street. Mr.. Hoe said he was en-
gagged IN conversation with a lady, when
Mr.. Nichols walked up aud kicked him on
the shin. Not to be outd0ns in politenesS,
Mr.. Hoe responded to this playful but
somewhat novelmode of SALVATION by hand
ing Nichols one under the left auricul4r,
whereupon Nichols sat down on the side
walk. Rising with that dignity which
forms bis chief and most pleasant charac-
terisiic, Mr. Nichols planted his bunch
of fVes under Hoes right
pepper. Mr.. Hoe sat down. Regaining an
upright position after brief interval Of si-
lent medisstion, Hoe picked up stone and
SHE'D it at his friend Nichols Uranium, the
latter, however, skilliuily avoiding the mis-
se. At this interesting stage, the further
interchange of civilitieS was interrupted by
the sudden appearance Of police officer,
who Immediately calaboosed the two young
gentlemen, both OF whom were discharged
by the court yesterday morning, with ex-
cellent advice as TO their future conduct,
for which advice tie court didn't charge a
cent.
The assertions of Andy Winstel to the
effect that he works during the day, were
borne out by his appearing in the police
court room with neBly shsrpened lead
pencil thrust behind his right ear (Which
he wears long for that especial purpose.)
Mr. Wiustel 81 lied, further, that as his du-
ties during The day are of the most ardu-
Gus character, he feels that life would be
deprived of al attraction, if he were to be
deprived Of enjoying himself at night, after
applying himself closely, for ten hours, to
Sharpening new pencils, thrUstiDg them be-
hind nis right ear, removing them at in
walls from their secure resting place,
be feels that both mind and boay
need relaxation ("RelaAatiou" is The word
lie ussd,O and it seems that it is Mr.. Win
sters nightly cls.Om to present his cierSiy
psrson,-lead pencil and all, after the ex-
haustive lab0rs Of the day, az the door Of
some establishment where relaxation" Is
sold by the glass, where after being admit
ted, he remains for several hours ''relaXing,"
ana rscupel atiLg his exhausted frame.
While thus engaged, a. the Exposition Sa-
l0oD, Monday night, Wins5el, being gen.
erous hearted map, suddenly conceived the
idea Of having one Corb, who was in the
saloon at the J!nle, take q little "rel AKA,
tom st his (WinstePs) ex-
Iense. He was touched
by The thirsty looking, desp1ndent express
sionon CORDS countenance, and, judging BY
lis own experience, fel5 that good drink
would 90 him good, but strange as it may
appear. Corb declined the invitation TO i'm
tibe, wbereupon Winstel-wl felt insu.ted
at having his offer refused, au1 that nothing
but blood would satisfy lis outraged
honor, walked into Mr.. Corb ''promiscuous
Ike" and was engaged in polishing him Oil
il a very artistic and sEiltful manner, when
z policeman appeared and Waltzsd the two
Of TO the I0ckcp. When the case was
called Yesterday Corb was discharged, as
was Wiaste also, after he had loaned the
city s..
Sim Icod is festive colored gentleman
who keeps a saloon. Becoming convinced,
6 day or two ago, that bis wife was not
conducting herself in conformity with his
strict notions Of propriety, he attempted to
administer 3 little correction, but had
scarcely entered upon this CONNIE ndsble
task. when a policeman looked in up on this
domestic scene and protested in very
effective manner against tbe method adopt
ed by Icod 70 restore harmony and tran
GUILTY. to his beloved home, as result of
which profess, Icod has five dollars set
down 10 hi, credit on the books Of the clerk
of the police court.
Right in the face of all that has been
said lately il opposition to Mausard
roofs, n. Il. RunnelS appeared in the police
court yesterday, with . very extensive one
erected over ais left eye. II seems that he
and another young chap by the name OF
Weasel, hsd attempted to reconstruct an
other chap who rad incurred their i'll will.
The three were arrested, but the third mau
giving security for his appearance in court,
aud falling TO came TO time, Weasel and
Runnels we've discharged for want Of evil
dence.
