PERVERTED INGENUITY.

It's rot often that what is known rs ''shop-
lifting" brings much ingenuity to the fore,
vet there are sometimes rather remarkable
exceptions. One of these may be in>tanccd
in thr female Shop-lifter not long since ar
rested for committing rohberi.s from dr;l-
perry establishments in somewhat singular
manner. When setting ont for her prrtll-
tory expeditions she wore large, Hat shoe
and had the toe part of her stockings cut OF
to form Il sort of Il mitten: and being very
dcxterouS with her toes for prrhcnSorv uses,
she wai able to pick up articles from the
floor and ScrrctG them i'll her slipper In
looking over some pieces Of lace in shop,
she had, while the assistants attention WAS
directed elsewhere, dropped one or two and
adroitly secretcd them Is described.
As bright an example of perverted ingc
nuity WAS developed in Paris during the
time of the exhibition. Three persons, it
seems, arc necessary TO carry out the trick,
the i,odUS opcIdari of which is rs follows
\ man, accompanied apparently by his wife
and daughter, enters II shop in which the
articles lie about a little careleS>ly, and the
gentleman at once goes ny to the head as
>Stant behind the counter and, making con-
ii,lential communication, says: . must not
keep YOU ignorant that my wife is affected
with kleptolnania Re SO good as to watch
her, but do not say any thing which might
make her think you have any suspicious"
The elder lady is consequently watched with
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1879-09-06

great care, all the shop being on the alert.
Some article is pifered in due course, the
theft noticed, and the gentleman on going
out quietly and promptly pays for what has
been taken. While the shopkeeper is con-
graduating himself on the honesty Of the
husband, the trio are making off with 4
valuable booty secured by the young lady,
whose movements had not been watched ut
all. But the best part Of the stratasem re-
mains to be told. In case the disappear
ancc of the articles really stolen should be
perceived Il little too soon, and the party be
followed by the indignant shopkecpers,
nothing is easier than to express regret and
surprise that there should have been other
mistakes, and to return the articles with
profuse apologies BY this ruse 4 consider
able degree of safety is insured, even if the
swindlers are baked of their booty, the
scheme provides for escape as well rs for
success.
a German in Paris lately adopted Il plan
which was successful in deSpoilur shop
keepers of their goods. Provided with
loaf Of bread, which he carried unconcern-
edly under one arm, he would Saunter up
and down in front of the shop window, TILL
watching his opportunity, he would seize
some small article exposed outside or other
wise within his reach, and secrete it in his
loaf. Suspected, and at last arrested. he
WAS subjected to a strict search, and WAS on
the point of bein. released, when some one
thought Of the loaf which the accused had
laid unnoticed on a form. On examnin.
it. a watch, some rings and other missing
articles were disclosed to the surprised spec
tatorS, and another swindling dodge thus
exposed.
Equally successful for time was another
system Of robbery practced not very long
since i'll the streets of London. A man
dressed like Il clergyman would walk about
the crowded thoroushfares, carrying a half
opened umbrella in his hand Innocent rs
that useful article appeared, it was acting
all the time rs a convenient receptacle for
sundry articles of value de1terously slipped
within its folds by two or three female pick
pockets, who We're active in their depreta-
tons anon. the foot passengers, but We're
captured, together with their respectable

The Bill Skies fraternity, in following out
their profession of house breaking, some
times give evidence Of an amount of inse-
nuty worthy of Il better cause. a burglar
concealed under the bed of 4 married cou-
pie by some incautious movement almost
betrayed his presence, the noise he made
being sufficient to make the wife call her
husbands attention to the sound. Its
only one of thu dogs" wa, the sleepy an
swer, and, swapping his fingers he called
by its name one of his favoritcS, which WAS
supposed to he present. The thieFs pres
ence Of mind did not desert him though OH
the brink of discovery; for, divining the
situation at once, he Immediately licked the
extended hand in the hope of confirming
the gcntlcmen's surInise This clever rusc,
however, we believe, successful, though one
might say it deserved to be for its holiness
and ingenuity.

Uncertainty Of Wealth.

ari.tocrary of birth in England to be the
guest of several members OF the ari";ocr;rY

THE ABUSE OF CHLORAL.

The persons who become habituated to
choral hydratc are Of two or three classes
a rule. Soms have originally taken the
narcotic TO relieve pain, using it in the
earliest application Of it for true medicinal
and legitimate object prob IDLY under medi-
cal direction. Finding that it gave relief
and repoSc, they have continued the Use of
il, and at last have got SO abnormaly under
its influence that they cannot get to sleep if
they fail to resort 10 it. A second class of
persons who take to choral are alcoholic
inebriates Who have arrived 1T that stage
OF alcoholism when sleep is always disturb
ed. and often nearly impossible These
persons at first wake many times in the
night with GOODNESS Of the lower limbs, cold
swe:ltingS, starIingS and restless dreaInings
In :: little time they become nervous about
submitting themselves to sleep, and before
long habituatc themselves to wAtr!fulnesS
and re.tlesSnesS, until Il confirmed insomnia
is the result. Worn out with sleer,'sssnsss
and failing to find any relief that is .atiSt;,c-
tory or safe IN their false friend alcohol
itA IL " 'Hoi.ii III IL lu'l lOl al
season the oblivion which they desire, and
which they call rest. 1t is kind Of rest,
and is no doubt better than no rest at all:
but it leads to the unhealthy states that we
are now conversHnt with, and it rather
promotes than destroys the craving for
alcohol. In short, the man who takes to
choral after alcohol eniSts tvo cravings for
Il single craving, and is doubleShotted i'll
the worst sense. A third class of men who
become habituatcd TO the use of choral are
men of extremely nervous and eIcitable
temperament, who by nature, and often by
the labors in which they are occupied, be-
come bad sleepers. A little thin. i'll the
course Of their daily routine Expresses them.
What to other men is passing annoyance
thrown off with the next step, is to these
men 4 worry and anxiety of hours. They
are over susceptible Of what is said Of them
and of their work, however good the work
may be. They are too ela;el when praised
and too depressed when not praised, or dis
praised. They fail to play character parts
on the stage of this world, and as they lie
DOWN 10 rest tnel like al tnclT cares ana
an8iclies into bed with them, in the live
Hest state perturbation. Unable in this
condition to SLEEP, and not knowing more
natural remedy, they resort to the use of
such an instrument rs choral hydratc.-
They begin with u moderate dose; increase
the dose as occasion seems to demand, and
at last, in what they consider 4 safe and
moderate system of employing it, they de
pend on the narcotic for their talsified re-
nose
