A WORD TO THE POLICE SUPERIN
TENDENT.

It is but few weeks ago that the BULLETIN
called the attention of the public to the fact
that our detective force, as then organized,
was anything but what it should be- Now
that we have new appointee, Capt. Loan, in
the Office of Superintendent, il perhaps may
not be amiss to again refer to this matter, that
he may not biindly be led astray.
We would call attention particularly to one
individual, and that is Robert Harris, for
some time past a prominent mover in all
political jobs where his detective skill became
necessary. From the records now in our pos
session, it appears that this doughty knight
has been prosecuted individual for many
years past
The District Attorney of Jefferson county,
KY, not approaching some of Harris's little
jokes in the way of HOUSEKEEPING or kin
bred pleasantries in the year 1858, filed an
Indictment in the court of that county.
After true bill by the Grand Jury against
this individual, charging that in the year of
our Lord 1857. in the said county of Jefferson,
Robert Harris, laborer, on the Goth day OF
may, Will AoASo oAu n1AS, uAu AclOuAOuSiy
steal, take and carry away, contrary to the
form of the statute in that case made and
provided, certain amount of money and
notes.
On October 18th the case came up, and the
jury, like the District Attorney, not appre-
ciating the little joke. found the prisoner
guilty; and on the 9th of January, 1858, the
Judge ordered that ''the said Robert Harris
be taken back to the Jail from whence he
came, thence to the Penitentiary house of
this Commonw wealth, there to be confined at
hard labor for the period and term of three
years."

facts. We leave it with him.

FALLING IN LOVE WITH A PHOTO.
GRAPH AND TRAVELLING $500
MILES TO GET MARRIED.

At the German Reformed Church, at
the corner of Sycamore and Orchard
streets, yesterday afternoon, there was
an interesting marriage ceremony, the
parties to the contract being Alexander
Franz Eur Hosen, of st. Petersburg,
Russia, and Miss Sarah Epstein, daugh-
ter of DIR. Ephraim NJ. Epstein of this
city.
The bridegroom, q dashing fellow, ira
ces his lineage back to the sturdy mer-
camille nobility of Holland. He is a man
of wealth and conducts fourishing to-
bacco trade in st. Petersburg. AS to
the wooing there is bit of romance. In
an album in the house of some of the
Epstein relatives in st. Petersburg, the
young merchant saw q photograph Of
Miss Sarah. In twinkling of an eye
he fell in love, and experienced an ar
dent wish to see the fair original. Cor.
respondence followed, photographs were
Exchanged, and about year ago Miss
Epstein made visit to Russia. Prelim.
inaries were arranged, with the result
above stated. The bride and groom
leave for New York and will thence
journey to st. Petersburg, which city
they will make their home. II Cincin

UNCOMMONLY PARTICULAR.

The Duchess of Edinburg does not grow
in favor with the public. They never
quite forgave her for asserting her prec-
edency over the Princess Beatrice, and
she has certainly given proofs of a
haughty disposition. AS a general rule
our own royal family do not give them
selves airs, and this sort of personal
pride is especially resented in foreign
er. A curious instance of it took place
the other day at Chiswick, where the
Duke and Duchess went to visit GER
tain famous collection of hot-house flow
ers. The proprietor of the place wished
to explain the merits of his plants, but
the path was narrow, and to press to her
side would have been indecorous as well
as dangerous to his pots, and to precede
her, he was given to understand, would
have been Gn Russia) to commit high
treason. At last they came to swing
door, that only required a push, but
which to Russian Duchess, was an in
superable barrier. She had never open
ed a door for herself in her life, and was
not going to begin in nursery garden
at Chiswick. Hersplendid attire blocked
up the path, SO that to pass by her was
impossible, and the whole party came to
a dead lock. The unhappy proprietor
was in despair. Then the Duke came to
his assistance. "She won't open the
door," said he, ''that is quite out of the
question. Do you run round and open
it for her. Walk backward, and never
mind your flower pots" Whether any
flower pots were broken don't know,
but viii stake my existence that if they
were the Duke did not pay fer them.-

BOY.BOY BOXES OF PARIS.

The Paris correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Press writes:
The bon-bon boxes prepared for the
coming holiday season are simply lovely
to behold. Every -confectioner's shop
has its separate speciality, and each tries
to outvie the other in originality of de-
sign and beauty of execution. Siraudin
exhibits various floral designs, such as a
basket Of lilies of the valley, the flowers
being attached to a close fitting flat COW
er, which, on being lifted off, or rather
out, displays the sugared treasures with
in. More novel and charming is a pink
satin wheelbarrow loaded with wild
flowers. Ackard has golden shoes, of
full realistic size, very stubbed about
the toes, and with marvellous striped
silk stockings. Cacot displays satin
water-eoolers of divers shades, each
painted with a charming figure of spring
and also porcelain rabbits. Boseier,
however, takes the lead, as usual, with
the most exquisite little bags of pale
pink and pale-blue satin, which repre-
sents bagpipes, the pipes being of ivory
and the sides Of the bags being painted
with delicately-shaded flowers of the
same hue as the satin. He also offers
exquisite caskets of crystal, elaborately
engraved and with mountings of gilded
bronze. One fantastic and extravagant
bonbonniere that saw was composed of
a covering of point lace, laid overa large
square box covered with ight-blue satin
and held down in the middle with a tiny
bouquet of roses; the box was finished
with rich silk cord round the edge.
The price of this festive article was $1O0.
Less elegant, but really more extrava-
giant, was another rich casket covered
with portions of gold-embroidered In
dia shawl, which had been artfully cut
out and put together, the whole being
finished with gold cord, and being
valued at $3.50. The price and splendor
of these costly triAes may appear extra
ordinary; but when one reflects that
bon-bons are the only gift that gentle
man is permitted to offer to a lady in
Paris on New Years day, and that it is
almost an obligatory custom among
friends and intimate acquaintance, it can
readily be imagined how the Partisan
gentlemen will strive to vie with each
other in elegance and extravaganza of
style in making this conventional gift to
some reigning queen of fashion. But,
Iunquestionably, the prettiest and most
original invention in this line exhibited
thus far this season is Boissier's game of
nine-pins. A large, square box, covered
with blue, pale pink, or cherry ratin, re-
veals, on being opened, set of nine
pins, the heads of which are of polished
black wood, and the basis of satin to
match the color of the box, the balls be-
ing black Each nine pin and ball is
hollow, and each is filled with a differ
ent kind of sugar-plum. Nothing more
dainty elegant and fantastic could pos
sibly be imagined or desired for the
purpose.

A sLEEPING-CAR EPISODE.

The Uniontown (Pa.) Standard mar
rites this exciting incident "a few
nights ago a passenger on the western
bound train, Oonnellsyille route, en-
gagged berth in one of the palace sleep
ing coaches. When she was ready to
retire she took from her satchel a gum
bed, which she inflated and placed upon
the regular bed in the berth she was to
occupy, 1t happened that her berth was
very close to the stove, and the night
being rather cold, the porter fired up
pretty lively. The heat from the stove
caused the gum bed to expand until the
pressure got 80 great that it collapsed
with tremendous shock, similar to that
of cannon, and the passengers jumped
out Of their berths in their night clothes
thinking there was y collision. The
force of the collapse threw the lady
against the ceiling of the berth, but did
not hurt her beyond slight bruise.
When The real state of affairs was known
and the lady was found to be unhurt, the
thing created considerable merriment
among the passengers, and that lady

sEAsONABLE HINT ON Ell
QUETTE.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Louisville Cotrief- Journal, who is au fait
on such matters, writes:
A young lady who is possessed Of a
fine sense Of propriety put the following
question to me- eff gentleman asks a
friend on New Years Day to call in his
company upon lady, and after doing
SO, never calls again, do you think the
lady should recognize him when she
meets him months after this one visit"
1t was a grave and serious question, and
could not be answered lightly or without
some profound meditation. The gentle
man had sought the lady g acquaintance.
If he had been prepossessed during that
first visit, the inference was that he
wouldcall again. On the contrary, if he
did not repeat the visit, he must have
been disappointed, and if the lady gave
him bow Of recognition, then he might
surmise that she was more anxious to
OphbAAAAAO bAlO hAAthAA hO Nehs7s
Still, if she passed him without bowling,
he might attributeit to pique or wounded
vanity. 1t was a nice question to settle,
but as she had spiritedly cut the gentle
man 1 assured her she had done right,
for argued that young men have SO
much the advantage of the girls in visit
ing who they like that it inspires them
with much vanity and egotism, so that
if the girls are only kindly polite they
frequently mistake this quality for q
desire for their attentions, and a little
hauteur and reserve only inspire them
with respect, and in most cases a strong
er desire to cultivate the cquaintance
further. / know that few young men
are timid and need encouragement, but
the girls understand that sort, and don't
often make mistakes.

POOLING A car DRIVER,
The Passenger who wonld not Place
his Fare In the Box.

u
The other night as the ''last car" on
the Michigan avenue route was turning
round on the table at the corner of
Woodward and Jefferson avenues two
young men, who had fixed up a straw
man in good shape, helped him aboard
and seated him at the end furthest from
the driver. The dummy" man had
his hat pulled low, his arms down, and
was so braced up against the end of the
car that she" looked as much a passen-
ger as any one. The car moved offafter
while, and as it turned into Michigan
avenue an old lady got aboard. She
paid her fare, the two young men fol-
lowed suit, and the car moved on again,
the driver keeping his eye on the "dum-
my" and wondering if he was going to
try to beat his fare.
At First street the driver jingled his
bell for fare, and the two young men
and the old woman looked over at the
straw man. The car moved up to Third
street, and the driver looked through
the window andyelled ''fare, and jingled
the bell again. There being no response
he opened the door and called out to the
straw man:
"Say, youl You want to pay your
farel"
There was no answer, and after going
half block he shouted out again:
"You man, there-walk up here and
pay your farel"
One of the young men sat opposite
Dummy" and he squeaked out it re-
ply:
''Drive on the old hearsel"
"Whatl What's that" shouted the
driver, pushing the door clear open.
"Oh hire hall" was the reply.
''See here, mister, you've got to pay
your fare or get off" exclaimed the
driver, winding the lines around the
brake.
"Grashus mel If there's going to be
a fight let me get OFF, shouted the old
lady, and she rushed down the car and
made clean jump from the door.
"Now, then, are you going to pay
your farel" said the driver, as he entered
the car.
''Pay be-hanged," was the muttered
reply.
"You'd better look out for him; he's
ugly" whispered the other young man
to the driver.
81 don'tcare if he's as ugly as John
Jacob Astor; he's got to pay his fare or
off he goesl"
The driver slid down to the end of the
car, spit on his hands, and continued:
"Come, now-out with your fare or
off you gol"
There was no reply, no movement;
and splitting on his hands againhe called
out:
"Well, here you come!" and grabbed
dummy" by the shoulders. His object
was to jerk the 'fellow" out of doors,
and expectinga a struggle he put forth all
his strength in a mighty effort. 1t was
very successful. The driver went out of
the car hoels over head, with the straw
man on the top of him, and the young
men leaped off the front end of the car
just as the victim was trying to get his
thumb in the straw mans eye.-[Detroit
