The metropolitan police commissioners yester-
day decided upon the style of the uniform Tor tae

polItan cloth. The trousers will have a light
blue welt on the sides, and the coat for summer
wear Will be blouse of yacht cloth of the Uni
ted States regulation pattern, with four brass
buttons on the breast, and in length to be five
inches above the knee The coat for winter
wear will be frock, double-breasted, with two
rows of buttons. The style of hats caps to be
worn has not yet been decided upon.
The correspondent of the Commercial Gazette
says:
"rhe metropolitan police are on duty. This
fact is indisputable, for bungling burglars had
qnite a picnic last night, hammering and blast
Ing at a burglarprOuf safe, working for several
hours unmOlested. The fact that metropolitan
police are on duty was again demonstrated this
evening about or 10 O'Clock, when two ruffians
halted a citizen in front of the postOfce, beat
him numerically about the head, then made
their escape without any pursuit by these dress
parade, dandy police. The fight attracted quite
is protected by brand-new metropolitan police,
did not dare interfere lest they should be sus-
pected OF meddling in the business of bright
brass buttons. Therefore it is well that the pub
lie may be fully appraised of the fact that old
things have passed away and all things have be-
come new.

Taken at Her Word.

lady OF this city, the wife of prominent
railroad man, who recently returned from trip
to Florida, and q lady of dignifcd presence,
tells this little story on herself. She was out
walking. one day, in Jacksonville, and wore one
of those great broad brimmed hats SO much
liked by ladies in warm weather. As she was
approaching II hotel on which several gentlemen
were congregatcd, a gust of wind took her hat
off and rolled it along gently in front of her.
She could not catch it by walking after it, and
not wishing TO compromise her dignity by run
ming, she remarked to a little coiored boy:
dub, If you will get that hat for me, and
swear at 1t for about fifteen minutes, I'll give
you quarter"
And the little imp picked 1t up just in front of
the gentlemen, and for fifteen minutes the air
about there was almost blue with profanity,
while the lady, not expecting to be taken SO
literally, waited to recover her property with as
much grace as she could.

coming great, and considerable bad feeling has
been engendered against family where the
disease was first reported. The local health
