HOW snrsn arc blown open.

A criminal lately gave to reporter of
the New York Herald the following mode
of introducing powder within safe for
the purpose Of blowing open the door.
What tools did you use in drilling the
holSs2" asked the reporter.
Good cracksmen don't use tools aD-
swered the burglar. I'M show you how
to blow open any safe in New York with
out any tools. Just take me to a safe"
There happened to be safe in Judge
kilbreth's private room, and the writer
acquainted the magistrate with the pris
oner's proposal. "By oil means" said
be, lets learn" aud in moment the
room was filled with spectators.
The prisoner knelt beside the safe,
which was locked. Look, said be, at
this door; it its so tightly that no instru-
ment can be introduced in the cracks.

The stage manager of a theater
in Bath, England, recently enacted
the part of Captain Levison," the
villain in East Lynne" who is
handcuffed before being taken to
jail as a murderer. The curtain
fell upon this scene, and the actor
asked one of the attendants to take
off the darbies." The handouts
were an ancient property; the key
was worn out, and could not be
made to unlock the manacles.
Search was made in the corridors
and in the streets for a police officer
who might furnish a duplicate key,
but the blue-coated guardians had
disappeared from public places.
Meanwhile the audience was un-
easy and noisy, and the orchestra
out of breath; the villain was ex-
pected to go on the stage as "Jacob
Earwig," but the handouts were
not in the makeup, and further
more he could not take off his coat
to dress for the part. AT last the
villain rushed into the street and
espied a police officer near a saloon,
and on assuring him that it was
only stage murder, secured release
from his bonds.

A nrunEan ph,Io.onhsr

The late William J. Smelling, a
writer for the Boston press, who
died there several years ago, in the
House of Correction, was on one
occasion found dead drunk in the
street, and taken to the watch
house, where he was kept over
night. On being brought before
the police magistrate, next morn
ing, he had become partially sober,
when the following dialogue took
place
Magistrate -" Well, Smelling,
what do you do for liying?"
Snelling-'1 am public writer"
Magistrate-"And pray what do
you find to write about ?"
Snelling-"A little to commend,
much to censure and very much to
laugh at"
Magistrate te-"Umph! And what
do you commend ?"
Snelling-"A handsome woman
that will stay at home; and eloquent
preacher that will preach short
sermon; and fool who has sense
enough to hold his tongue
Magistrate-"What do you Gen.
sure ?"
Snelling-"A man who marries
a girl for her fine dancing; a work.
ingman who believes in the sympa.
thies of professional gentlemen; a
youth who studies law or medicine
while he has the use Of his hands
and people who elect a drunkard Oh
blockhead to an office"
Magistrate What do you laugh
at?'
Snelling-w laugh at man who
expects his position to command
that respect which his persona
qualities and qualifications do no
merit"
Magistrate-"Oh, ! perceive tina
you are an utterer of pithy sen
tences; now, | am about to uttel
one that will surprise you"
Smelling GA pithy sentenc,
from your honor would indeed be
matter Of astonishment."
Magistrate-"My sentence is tina
you discontinue writing for thirt
days, while you rest and recrui
yourself in the House of Correc
ton"
This retort was a poser. Smell
ing submitted to the requirement
OF the Vagrant Act, and retire
from the halls of justice, in con
, pany with the officer, without an
) other syllable.
