a LEIPSIC BARBER.
The Way Of the Tonsorial Artists-Pull-
ing Hair-Shaving With Brick.

The Way Of the Tonsorial Artists-Pull-
ing Hair-Shaving With a Brick.
The San Francisco Chronicle gives the
following extract from private letter
from Master E. E. Coursen, a student
at the Conservatory of Music in Leip-
sic, GERMANY had my hair cut yes
terday for the second time since l have
been here. The BARRIERS here must be
licensed as professional torturers by
the government. | will describe the
naodus operandi, and / think that you
Will agree in my opinion.of them. They
set you on a chair, and then tie a kind
of night-gown around you, taking care
not to tuck 1t IN at the neck, and then
they commence operations with a
grand flourish of big pair of shears,
which look large enough to cut your
head off. Then they proceed to cut
the hair at the back part of the head.
This is done in an artistic manner by
pulling a couple of handfuls of hair out
by the roots and reducing the person
who is being operated on to a state bor-
dering on insanity. After having made
the patient sufficiently nervous, they
begin operations around the ears.
They so along pretty smoothly for a
few secOnds-just long enough to de-
lude the poor fellow int the belief that
his sutferings are at an end, when down
comes the shears to his ear, cutting off
the tip, and extracting a howl of pain
! and rage from the sufferer. The bar
Der smiles blandly, and assures him
that it is nothing-only scratch-and
also tells him that he should have
lodged the shears.
The poor fellow now concludes that
he will do his best to dodge the next
cut, and successfully eludes six or seven
well-directed blows, when the barber
resolves on strategy. He gets directly
behind the chair, places the shears in
his right hand near the right ear of the
person, then taps the left ear smartly
with his first finger of the left hand.
The victim imm ediately throws his
head to the right to escape the expect
ed blow on the left, when down came
the shears on the right ear, cutting a
good-sized chunk out, at sight of which
the barber sets up shout of delight
and dances around the room in state
Of the greatest satisfaction. He now
proceeds to finish you off by cutting the
front part Of your hair, and every lock
that he cuts off he throws directly in
your face. Expostulation is useless for
the minute you open your mouth to say
anything you get a handful of hair
thrown in, which eflectually prevents
further utterance. When he has en-
tirely finished cutting your hair he
takes as much as he can hold in both
his hands, and deliberately thrusts it
down your back, and under pretense of
blowing the loose hair from off the coat
collar and neck, he blows it further
down. Then he releases the sufferer
and receives his money with a polite
bow, and shows him to the door very
nicely, leaving the person to wander
home in thoughtful mood, and say
ing naughty words which are expressly
forbidden in the Ten Commandments.

An uptown man who went home one
night, recently, in demoralized state,
succeeded in getting to bed without
awakening his wife and betraying his

and broken on the wall beneath the gas
light IN his bed-room.-W Whitehall Times
