The POLICE OF LoNDoN.-John Paul
in letter to the New York Tribune,
compares the London police with those
of New York as follows: The police
men, let me remark, are rather heavy
set of fellows, slow, if not stupid, but
/ like them. They are civil to you, and
seem to understand that they are put ON
duty to be OF service to the public
They are less ready with thsir clubs, too
thon our policemen, and carry them
most of the time out of sight, instead OF
swinging conveniently at the wrist.
ready to crack skull with. For Lon
don policeman to draw his club is dan
gerous and to use it to the injury of d
citizen were still more serious matter;
he would have to prove that the provo
cation was sufficient. Not here is
81 cop " allowed to add the Office of
Judge, jury. and e1ecutioner to the sim
gle function with which law invests him.
Were London policeman to club q
drunken man, as have repeatedly seen
done in New York, his own head would
be knocked in by the bystanders.

The RAIN.-One of the readiest
roads to the brain is through the lungs.
You can reach the brain in O minute
with chloroform, for example. The
power of this drug is something mar
valous. When under its influence d
man may have his limb cut off without
any sensation whatever; and even when
he RECEIVERS from the artificial trance be
may still have neither pain nor uneasi-
ness. Why? Have you ever seen a
person after fit of epilepsy? After a
fit OF that kind people have no remem>
brance of anything done to them during
the fit. During the epileptic paroxysm
the brain is all completely torpid. The
sane thing happens after the anesthehc
sleep of chloroiorm. In neither case
can man remember what he never felt.
But mark what may happen after am
putation performed on patient under
chloroform. The same man who felt
no pain in the stump, either during OR
after the operation, may continue for
mary months to be attacked with the
identical local SYMPTOMS for which his
limb was removed at the hour of the
day or night when he was wont to suf-
fer martyrdom before its removal. And
more than this--if seized by the old
enemy during sleep, he may wake ex-
claiming, "Oh, my leg, my leg! it pains
me the same as when it was on!' More
curious still, he may tell you he can, as
far as his feelings are concerned, actual
" move the foot of the amputated limb.
What do these facts prove? They prove :
i. That the brain is the source OF all
motion and all sensation, morbid or
sane. 2. That the brain is the source
of all paroxysmal recurrence, whether
the prominent symptoms be general or
| local.

Dewitt, of $50 Madison avenue, caught
pickpocket on the 7th inst. Mr.. De-

building, where he does business in coal.
On the day named. while seated in his

James Donnelly, was arraigned for trial

stated that he had merely stopped to
read the bulletin on his way to place
where he expected to 'obtain employ
ment; that he noticed stamp protrud-
ing from Mr.. DeWitt's pocket, but that
he had not attempted to abstract it.
The jury found him guilty, however,
and he was sent to State Prison for two
years. - ". Y. Herald.

q During rainy weather GENTLE
man stepped into tobacconist's, at the
