Barney Aaron and the Pickpocket.

The New York Tribune of Monday
says.
Barney Aaron was riding down
town on Fifth Avenue car yesterday
evening. Mr.. Aaron is well known in
sporting circles MS pugilist of the first
Gloss. He is small in stature, but his
science is something wonderful On
the rear platform was Rev. Henry
Thorpe, of Pittsburg, an elderly clergy
man. Barney and the clergyman got
into conversation, and after talking 9
little while, separated, one being on the
opposite side of the platform to the
other. AT Eighteenth street two noted
pickpockets, James Henry and William
Jackson, got on the car. They are res
idents of the Fifteenth ward, and knew
Mr.. Aaron. They did not think he
would interfere with them, and SO pro-
ceeded to rob the clergyman. Jackson
crowded him against the car-door, and
Henry took his gold watch. They had
not calculated an any interference, and
were sadly disappointed when Mr.. Aaron
exercised his science on them with
startling results. Mr.. Jackson received
a slight testimonial of Mr.. Aaron's es-
TEEN in the jaw, which tumbled him
over the dashboard into the street. Mr..
Henry attempted feeble resistance, but
to no purpose. Mr.. Aaron took the
watch which had been wrung from
Henrys hand, and by manual
application sent Henry to join
Jackson. After arranging his dis
turbed sealskin coat, Mr.. Aaron
handed the recovered watch to the Rev.
Mr.. Thorpe, remarking, Here's your
''super" old man. Don'tyou never stand
on car platform again. You're the
worst old sucker I've met in year"

Trousers for Ladies'.

Long white trousers for ladies are
very much worn on the Continent.
These trousers should be quite plain for
wearing in the daytime and in the
street; but those for evening wear
should be made of fine embroidery, lace
insertion, or heavy rich lace frills or
hounces, according to the taste and
means of the lady herself What could
look prettier, or more modest, than to
see apretty, small trousered foot in silk
stockings and neat sandaled shoe, APP
pearing under The skirt Of a muslin
dress, the ankles buried, as il were, in
several rows oftho lace frills or hounces
of fine cambria or muslin trousers
Surely, also, when young lady of
eighteen or nineteen is dancing, IL is
more modest, as it is certainly very be-
coming, to see thelimbs hidden in lace
frilled trousers of cambria than in the
present fashion. As | said, this mode
is very much seen on the Continent,
among French, Spaniards, and espe-
cially Russians. When at Barcelona, n
few years ago, | remarked that every
lady wore trousers, some plain, some
richly trimmed with lace frills or
founces. Two or four inches of the
trousers were visible, setting off the
small Spanish foot TO perfection.
knew a pretty French lady who used TO
wear most becoming trousers in the
evening, which we're made OF very fine
cambria, with rich lace frills up 10 the
calf of her leg, and insertion between
each frill. The lace frills of her trous-
ers just touched the instep, but the
rest Of her trousers were Just visible
under and through the transparent
skirt Of white muslin. Engiish Maga-

one on top of -four barrel, and he re-
marked that there was not much in q
place, but places were plenty enough.
He was provoked. When he went up
stairs he saw that his wife WAS only pre-

james, there wasn't crust OF bread
on shs shelves nor on the hour barrel,
except what was left there for the rats"
