INTERESTING DECISION.
Affecting the Pay of Policemen in New
York

AffectinR the Pay Of Policemen in New
York.
NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-A decision was hand
ed down yesterday by the court of appeals in
the case of John Ryan, against the police
board. Ryan was police officer and in May
1877, was stricken with paralysis and has since
never been able TO do duty. He was mt on
half pay but claimed full pay, alleging that his
disease WAS caused by beins struck with a
stone while taking prisoner to the station
house. The lower courts decided against Ry-
an, but now the court of appeals decides in his
favor His case carries with il that of every
police officer whose pay has been curtailed by
reason of sickness for years and loads the de-
partment at once with an enormous debt sggre-
eating hundreds of thousands of dollars. 1t
will also wipe out almost entirely the pension
fund whose chief source of revenue
will at once be sought to meet the difficulty.

WASHINGTON, Jan 31.-The Republican

The Republican theory is that if by Republi-

shall pass the respective houses and fail be-

opposition or fillibustering, the Republicans as
party will not be responsible for the defeat of

John Robinson's Circus.

About 10 o'clock yesterday morning
our streets were enliyened by the parade
of John Robinson's Circus. 1t was a
gorgeous spectacle, the array Of animals
being notably fine. 1t is safe to say
that, taking the afternoon and evening
performances together, fully fourteen
thousand people crowded under his
mammoth tent. Two large rings had
been thrown up. and the audience were
treated to two performances at the same
time. The equestrian acts we're Of q
high order of merit, the riders Of both
sexes exhibiting q notable degree Of pro-
ficiency. The acrobatic, trapeze and
contortionist features Of the entertain
ment were positively Donpareil, being
out Of the ordinary range Of such efforts.
The elephants. in their several tricks,
showed the result Of elaborate and very
persevering training; and their agility,
considering their great size, was thing
to marvel at. Dogs, ridden by dogs,
and goat ridden by monkey, were
amusing features Of the programme
which extorted the unmeasured hilarity
Of the spectators. Dogs and goat took
the hurdles with great apparent enjoy
ment. Prof. Samwell's trained dogs go
through performance Of astonishing
complexity and cleverness. The enter
tainment was enlivened by the antics of
couple Of clowns who seemed to have
an inexhaustible repcrtoireof good Jokes,
many of them new. The universal
judgment was that whether Robinson's
Circus consists Of ten shows Or twenty
1t is huge affair, and insures more than
value received for the money expended
to witness it. Robinson left last night
for Cotton, from whence he goes East
via the Southern route, stopping at
Tucson and FL Paso.

Wine Experts.

The Real Estate Circular says:
'sWe are absolutely prostraied with an
equal mixture Of WEAKNESS and disgust
when we hear our would-be wine con-
noisseurs get off their insane platitudes
about the superiority of foreign and i'm
ported wines to the home article. Ex-
perts--worthy of the name--freely and
frankly admit that California wines,
properly graded and made, are long
way ahead of the imported article in all
the requisites that go to make good
wine. But, and this is where our pa
thence falls below zero, fellows who know
good deal more about the proper
method Of decapitating schooner Of
beer will, when possessed Of few dol
lars, invite you to their brand new red
wood-palaces and request you to note
the flavor of this or that choice brand OF
genuine imported nectar. Nothing ma
tive about that, eh? may fool me on some
things. but when it comes to the proper
thing in wines they can't come it on me
worth cent, and the wine he holds in
the glass in his hand while he is giving
vent to some such garbage as the above
is native and to the manor born, clothed
only with forged French label"

Lots of Fun.

Those who returned from the races in
the street-cars yesterday afternoon had
some amusing adventures. There were
about 200 passengers in the three cars,
and they had to hang on by their toe
nails and chin. The front car was met
twice by another and between switches,
and the other one was each time lifted
out into the street and left there. No
accident occurred, although the cars
were heavily laden, except lady who
tripped on her dress and fell when get
ting of, happily with only bruise moi
serious. and a gentleman, evidently moi
accustomed to railroads, who jumped Of
at Second street and stood on his head
1t didn't hurt him very much, but hs
was mad with about three carloads o
passengers laughing at him, especially q
he fell into mudhole and was not h,p
py. There was lots of fun.
