Dickens Friend.

A dramatist sitting by friend at
the theatre contrived to extract rand
kerchief from his pocket and transfer it
to his own. Presently man behind
him, tapping him on the shoulder, whis-
pered: "Beg pardon; here's your purse.
Didn't know you belonged to the pro-
fession; all right" at the same time
slipping into the amateurs hand the
purse he had extracted from his pocket
The story may pass, for although honor
among thieves has no existence, it is
probable that regular practitioners act
on the principle that dog should not eat
dog. That they ever go an inch beyond
that we do not believe, even though We
have it on the authority Of the Gaulois
that Charles Dickens once lost his watch
at theatre in Paris, and found it at
his hotel with note running: "Sir, l
hope you will excuse me; but l thought
l was dealing with Frenchman, and
not countryman. Finding out my mis-
take, l hasten to repair it by returning
herewith the watch l stole from you. l
beg you to receive the homage Of my re-
spect, and to believe me, my dear coun-
tryman, your humble and obedient ser

II. H. WARNER Il Co-Gents: For
the past ten years I have suffered the
evil effects Of what may be termed
chronic constipation my skin became
yellow and my liver out Of order; l

week my bowels had attained a regular

tirely used the first bottle, l am so per-
ceptibly improved and toned up that l

Mashed on an Actor.

Since the death of John Brougham
any number of gentle incidents in his
life have been recalled. One of these is
noteworthy. After he had played here
some time, says New York paper, he
became marked favorite on the stage,
particularly with women, who were cap
tivated bv his handsomeness, his grace
and his vivacity. He received, OF
course, many letters, flowers and mo-
mentoes of the romantically-sil!y sort,
to which he p,id no attention. One OF
these dreamy adorers signed her own
name to her billets, and wrote repeat
eddy, despite the disbursement OF ST.
lcnce. She was very DESTROYS to meet
Dthe comedian, beseeching again and
again the privilege of an interview.
Finally, Brougham named time and
place for their meeting She came
promptly, and proved to be very young,
de ,idedly p city, and of good social
position. She was well educated and
clever, too; but her Judgment and COM
mon sense had been warped by the NOR
bid sentiment that belongs to such an
age. Instead of making love to her, he
read her moral lecture; talked to her
literally like father; pointed out the
great danger Of her conduct, and told
her most men would take advantage OF
her innocence. alt sounds very egotis-
tic" he added, {" for me to say 1t, my
child, but all actors are not John
Brouchams" She was moved to tears
and the deepest gratitude by his kind
counsel; declared that he had opened
her eyes to her folly, and that she would
not he guilty of it again. She kissed
his hand at parting and went away it
is said, completely changed. A year OF
two after she was married. She invited
the comedian, as the story runs, to hei
wedding, but he did not 60 he had
been much attracted to her, and he
knew enough of human nature to know
that under the circumstances prudence
if not safety, consisted in his keeping
away. John Brougham was man Of
The world. but he was also man Of
heart, and, above all, man Of honor.

No Diploma.

In Sheffield we'll known witch doctor
was recently brought up before the coro-
ner to explain how he treated a patient
who had died unit er his hands. The
doctor was of middle stature, with rudy
face and hands, closely shaven drab hair,
:. and commonplace look. He felt quite
| at his ease, and the following dialogue
ensued:
"What is your name =
"My name is Mr.. Brearly."
"Your name is not Mister, is it p

years and was brought up to nothing
else"
"What did you do to decessedY,
"I put my hand on his breast, and
told him his chest was full Of water, and
his heart was in the wrong place. Il gave
him small bottle to take, and box of
pills"
"What did the bottle contain ;"
"Nothing but oil of juniper. The pills
were antl-bilious."
"What were they composed Of =

telled him to keep it on.
"Did you think that his lungs were
affectedl'
eyes, and drowned with water"
1--WE shall have the man opened, and
see if you placed his heart in the right
place"
"Well, it his heart has gone back out

him to be gentle with it. l have thou

The learned doctor made his cross at
the examination, not being able to write,
when the inquest adjourned for post
norton examination. 1t is singular
That in a country having such stringent
laws such an ignorant quack should be-
permitted to kill off deluded patients ad
infnitum. This fellow was as well
known in Sheffield as DR.. Faustus or
DR.. Syntax, and drove his gig.

Forty thousand seven hundred Land

CONVICTION OF CowLEY The So.
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty TO
Children has not been in existence bul
. few years, and when it was started
met with many difficulties from gentle
men who hooted at the idea of its be-
ing useful. This has been the way in
which all our great charities have been
rirst received. In the conviction Of Cow
ley yesterday, in New York, the neces-
sity for the Society for Preventing Cruel
ty to Children has been esl ablished, aud
one Of the greatest aids given to the ex-
termination of all such terrible lnstitu-
tions as Cowley kept. No doubt there
are many of Them just as bad.
Says the Herald So conclusive was
the evidence against this irreyerend
offender that the jury yesterday found
it necessary to deliberate only fifteen
fifteen minutes before coming back in
to court with a verdict of guilty. All
who have followed the evidence will
regard it as righteous verdict. The
Offense of this sanctimonious torturer
of helpless children is one of no ordi-
nary atrocity. If he had merely
starved them into illness and emacia-
tion he would deserve severe punish
ment, but the brutal beatings and
kicks which he administered to the
hungry little wretches are so revolving
to humanity that no condemed crimi-
nal ever deserved so little commisera-
tion as this praying, sobbing hypo-
crite.
When the Society for Preventing
Cruelty to Children brought their ac
cusatiOns this reverend brute put on
all tho airs of injured innocence, and
professed that he desired nothing so
much as a searching investigation. He
promptly got the investigation which
he pretended to desire. The facts dis
