THE CITY.

Is well for human nature in general that the
law upon this point has not been accurately
defined, and the penalty for lack of brains
set down in the statutes. Were it otherwise,
what would become of the many fools who,
day by day. give vent to their folly for the
elltication of their betters? Margaret Rose,
however, tried this on, and Officer Ryder,
taking pity upon her auditors, conveyed her
| in safety to the Third Precinct Station where,
to her hearts content, she expounded during
the remaining hours of the night.
WoMAN's RIGHT. - So Louisa Smith and
Lucinda Harris would have termed it, had
Officer Hawkins felt that way disposed. But
in his minds eye he would not see it, for at
no distant date he had been refreshing his
memory with the law governing all criminal
otfenses, and when the above-cited ladies put
in their say, he called it interference with
him in the discharge of his duties, and SO
accommodated them with quarters for the
night in the Second.
MORE INcENDIARIsM-FIRE .-About II: As
Wednesday night fire broke out in the IN
occupied one-story frame house, on the corner
of Coliseum and Dufosset streets. The prop
erty was owned by Mr. Folger and totally
destroyed. insured for $3.50 in the Germania
The fire was undoubtedly the work of an in
cendary, as the traces were left behind the vii
lain.
WITHOUT Ax-1NG.-James McFadden, from
the green hills of Erin, and by trade a
laborer, went yesterday for an ak without ak
ing leave. This, to be sure, is not penal
offense, but It's sufficient, if Officer Cavier
can prove the charge, to insure McFadden a
most disagreeable time. John Rose is &C
cused of being accessory to the above larceny.
Well, we have nothing more to say upon the
W.
take all responsibility.
SIxTY-FoUR YELLOW BoYs.-By this let it
not be inferred that We speak of the offspring
Of Ham, for we feel assured that Ellen Loving
could enlighten us upon this point. Sixty
four dollars are missing, and William Woods
accused sal Ellen with having appropriated
the same to her own use. We are not pre-
pared to render our decision. Judge Staes
will no doubt relieve our anxiety.
ONLY AN ADZ.-Henry Jones was his name,
and the charge was having carpenter S ADJ
in his Possession. Now the simple fact that
he was possessed of such an intrument was
in itself no reflection upon Jones intentions,
but as Officer Taylor knew that Henry Jones
has no reputable occupation his suspicion
was excited and our would-be carpenter came
to grief.
ton were brought this morning to the Second
Precinct Station by Officer Hawkins who re-
ports that they were found corner of Orange
md Peters streets 1t was very evident that
they had been stolen, either from some ship
or pickery, as the marks were cut out.
MISCELLANEOUS Louis Edwards and Thos
Love, two promising youths and disciples of
the ham mer and chisel, were seen under rather
questionable circumstances ut the corner of
Soniat and Magazine. The officer thinking
change of air necessary for the young fell
lows health conducted them, with all honors,
to the Seventh Station, where charge of
dangerous and suspicious was registered
against them.
Albert Morgan was lodged in the Fourth
Precinct, having been found at the corner of
Franklin and Customhouse streets with q
stolen watch in his possession.
John RYAN, aged fifty years. was sent to the
