Where Were the Police?

Of course policemen can't be every
where at the same time. but the noises
which occur between Washington street
and Sylvan Water bridge, on or near
Illinois street, after midnight, ought to
attract the attention Of the police depart
ment, aud ought to be stopped. One instance
will show how it is: On Tuesday night
towards l o'clock, man came rushing
down from the direction of the bridge
yelling police" at the top of his voice.
He continued down street, probably as far
as Court Square, yelling police" in a
frightful manner. Soon after this, two
men came from the same direction, yelling
police" They had clubs, and they
stopped at the empty boxes in front of
Epsteins music store and commenced to
pound those boxes. After pounding
awhile they yelled police" and pounded
and yelled aud yelled and pounded for the
best part of an hour. No police could be
found, and no one answered the CALL These
arc the faets,a as stated to US by az eye wit
ness. Where were the police belonging on
that beat, from and after midnight, Tuesday
night. Had they gone home and gone to
bed, as John Taylor was 10 the habit of
doing2 Or were they hid away some
where else? The Chief had best ascertain
where his men are nights, and what they
are doing. The people who pay them are
beginning to growl about several things
regarding the peace and quiet of the town
at night. and tha utter neglect to enforce
several city ordinances.

THE GRAND UNIoN.-New York
This hotel has gained wide popularity
both on account of its eligible situation-it
being directly opposite the Grand Central
Depot--and the excellent manner In which
it is kept. By stopping at this house,
guests save the heavy expense of carriage
hire and expressage, baggage being carried
to and from tie depot without charge. 1t
is first class 10 every respect, and yet the
rates of charges are lower than at any
other first class house in the city. 1t is
conducted upon the European plan.'

A Scene for Hogarth.

An incident occurred in Homer Hender-
sons studio, yesterday, that we would like
to see illustrated by Henderson's brush.
Our eccentric friend, Kit Atkinson, had
ordered one of Henderson best portraits,
and had given sitting or two. Yester-
day Henderson corelled Kit again and
placed him on an elevated platform and
commenced work After while Kit got
dry and proposed to step in at Woltmans
and get 'swei glass. Henderson de-
clined-he was in the mood for work. and
doubted whether he could get Kit back
again, and didn't know when he could get
another sitting. At last Kit got obstrep-
erous and declared that he couldn't stand
it-he would have some beer, and Hen
derson threatened to lock the door if he
moved. Kit made start, stepped down
one step and thought he had reached the
floor. Unfortunately he had not, and the
result was fearful plunge towards Hen
derson's easel. striking it and knocking it
over Henderson and plunging Henderson s
head plumb through the canvas on which
he was painting the marked and intelli-
gent features of Kit, daubing his face with
paint, and leaving both men in a struggle
on the floor. Over Henderson's neck was
the frame work Of the canvas, and both
men were in desperate conflict with the
broken frame of the easel. chairs, etc.. etc.
The scene was a most ludicrous one, and
one which we hope Henderson will moi
allow to pass unillustrated by his brilliant
pencil.

The MODERN TANTALUs is altogether
the opposite of his great namesake. The
latter as a punishment from the gods for
an infraction of their commands was con-
demned to perpetual thirst. and immov-
ably fixed in water to his chin. What
must have been his feelings to see that
fluid, which more than all the world be-
sides, he wanted, within his reach, and be
powerless to drink it What refinement
of cruelty must be such a punishment
How different our feelings to his antitype,
who though suffering from sickness all the
time, having means to meet the cost of
alternating his ailment, yet deliberately
neglects using the remedies to his recovery.
The majority of sickness arises from the
torpidity of the liver, and can be dissipated
and prevented by the use of that valuable
elixir tonic the Home Stomach Bitters.
