A DeSDairiug Man.

He insisted upon it that he was not
drunk, but he certainly was, if circumstan-

was niddle-aged man with long beard

dirty, and his face and hands seemed to

POLICE PICKINGS.

The explsr alton given by David Rest for
getting drunk Monday, was this: He was
not feeling well; consequently he did not
work that day, and consequently, again, be
took couple of drinks, merely to kill time.
Very much to his surprise, these drinks few
to his head at once, and the first thing Mr..
Rest knew, he didn't know anything worth
speaking of, in other words, he was drunk.
The court evidently did not place the most
implicit confidence in the statement of Rest,
as fine of s. was imposed upon that indi-
Vidual.
Jenny Murphy is real nice girl; pity she
sweaIs. But she does swear and that fac}
being fully established, she Yas sent down
on fine of two dollars and half.
Notwithstanding the fact that Kate Simp-
son said it was all mistake about her lott
ering around in the vicinity of dram shops,
fine of $40 was imposed upon her.
Henry Dowles was brought up on the
charge of beating bis wife. Mr.. Bowles in
dignantly denied the soft impeachment.
Said he: ~ never teched her, yer Honor.
ia bin drinkin' little, know, and I'm
mighty sorry fur it; but if you'll let me off
this time, I'll never come here no more. If
do, hope you'll take gun and Shoot my
brains out" The court agreed to comply
with Mr.. Bowles' request, and on that con-
dition the latter was told to go this time.
RObt. Oliver and Charles Hodges are
brace of fighting shoe. makers. When
called out of the lock up yesterday morn
ing, th9y both presented very demoralizsd
appearance, and looked as though they had
been drunk for a week. Mr.. Hodges de-
MED that Oliver had given him the black
eye which he was carrying around with
him, but stated that bis pepper b I'd been
thus discOlOred in consequences of his fall
ing down stairs, just after having put
himself outside of few glasses of strong
drink. This explanation was confirmed by
the p,oDrietor of The shop where these men
work, and who said that he heard Hodges
and Oliver fighting upstairs, and that he
started upstairs to quell the disturbance
but before he reached the room above, he
met Mr.. Hodges coming down in q very ab-
rupt, undigniisd and hssty manner. In
fact, Mr.. Hodges descent was so very hasty
that he (the proprie;Or) stepped quickly to
one side and allowed Hodges the right of
way, the latter finally landing on bis hea d
at the foot o. the stairs. The reason he
stopped where be did, was because the
stairs stopped at that point too. If he had
thought of it in time, so as to have properly
arranged several flights of stairs, Mr..
Hodges would have descended a
much greater distance than he did, for after
he got fairly under way, i, required no eff
fort whatever to keep going, but on the
contrary, it was much more pleasant to go
on than to stop.
Hodges acknowledged that he and Oliver
had been drinking together, and Oliver ad-
mitted that he had hit HODGES with boot
tree, and so the Judge (who is one of the
most impartial of men), divided twenty
dollar fac evenly between these belligerent
cobblers, at the same time advising them to
make this fight their "last."

This bit of sensible advice, from an ex-
change, is we'll worth considering: sSome
statistics of lunacy, just published, show
by far the larger portion of women who
lose their reason are widows, while very
small fraction of those who go mad are sin
gle. Iu view ofthis fact, we entreat our
young readers who contemplate becoming
widows to pause and reflect before they
take q ep which threatens such terrible re-
suits. No woman can regard these etstis-
tics with the serious consideration to which
they are entitled, and then deliberately &C.
cept the proposition to become a widow.

theoretically to enter that state of single
blessedness which brings peace of mind
and fewer chances of loss of reason"

LippIneOtt's Magazine.

The September number of this magazine,
Just received, is 8 most excellent one. Among
the serials continued in this number is "The
Princess of Thule" The sto,y does not
develop rapidly, and piques the curiosity as
to its conclusion, A spirited Highland girl
united to an insignificant heartless fellow,
who brings her to London, affords an orr
ginal situation out of which incoDgruities
arise, the exhibition of which have occupied
several chapters. A light strain of observa-
ton, finely illustrated by the great French
artist, Gustave Dore, is entitled with no
great felicity "The New Hyperion" But
l. is always lively and entertaining, and pQC-
sues its course with spirit through new
chapter. English Court Festivities Is very
well written article and has much of the in
terest that attaches to Spoke and Burto1's
narratives Of the barbarous customs seen at
the CouJts of the African Kings. Court ct
tiquette seems to be equally ridiculous every
where, and the efforts of American represen-
tatives to emancipate themselves from it,
are not in this article related in a very
friendly spirit. Marie Rowland tells all about
the Patrons of HusbsDdry. The oranges
embrace, it seems, social culture aud enjoy
ment among their aims, and have adopted
d system of Incorporation" in purcha es,
which, under that name, works well in EGG
land. What other distinctive purpose Of
the organization has been realized we cannot
gather from this paper. son the Church
Steps" is story that attracts by its easy,
natural style, and the expectation that al.
ways follows the course of true love when it
does not run smooth. 1t is rot yet concluded.

cles that have great merit is the continuation
