An Alleged Assault and battery.

Last evening William Coke was
char yed before the Mayor with COM
nitting an assault and battery upon
Frank Hamilton, little coIored boy 10
years of age. The boy was employed
by Coke at his brickyard, and it was
alleged that he was told to wheel some
sand, which he was unable to do, and
when he told Coke it was 100 heavy for
him, he struck him in the mouth and
choked him. Austin Harrington, Esq,
was present on behalf of the Society for
the Prevention OF Cruelty to Children,
and assisted with the hearing.
The mother OF the child, Annie
Hamilton, testified that when she re-
turned from her work on Monday night,
she found him suffering very much
with his mouth aud throat He told
her that Mr.. Coke had beat him, because
he could not wheel the sand. Several
of the employees in the yard We're
examined, but none Of them seen the
boy struck, although they were all
within a few feet of him at the time.
The mother claimed that they did see
the assault, and had talked about it
that night, but would not tell what they
knew through fear of being discharged.
She also said that Mr. Coke had whipped
Il boy about one year ago so bad that he
was laid up for three weeks. The
Mayor decided that there was not sutfi-
cient evidence to hold the defendant,
and dismissed the case. The mother
then wanted to enter suit against Mr..
Coke for weeks wages due the boy,
which she said he refused to pay, and
was told to take the case 10 a Squire, as
it was beyond the Mayors .juris-
,lictiOn.

No, my son, that gentleman in the azure

He is gentleman OF leisure, of no profession,

spends his time on the cars, because he can
there best serve his fellows. Heis always
doing some good act At one moment
he is locking the stove door to
prevent the fire from going out;
at another he is turning down the lights,
to prevent the passengers from reading
and thereby injuring their eye
sight, and at the same time furnishing to all
that rich perfume which the partial consump-
ton OF kerosene oil always affords; and anon
he is playfully mystfying his fellow nortals
by calling out the names Of stations in Ian

principal and pleasantest labor is to assist

statisticians that the average brakeman

The Science OF Kissing.
Inter ocean,

II that man who suddenly learned that he
had been speaking prose all his life was as
tonished, what will be the sensation of all
lovers on discovering that there is such a
thing as science in kiss? Recently, before
a large audience in New York, Fl. B. Phil
brock delivered a lecture in which he con-
sidered kissing in its relation to subtle sci
ence. He declares that the reason kissing is
so pleasant is because the teeth, jawbones,
and lips are full of nerves, and when the lips
Of two persons meet an electric current is
generated. This gives us the idea that the
ecstacy Of blissful thrill, tingling through
the veins and causing the eyelids to close
in the rapturous enjoyment of loves intro
duction, is cold, practical science, and not
the warm, spontaneous flooding of delicious
sentiment
This view of the advertisement NAV be
eminently satisfactory to men of Mr.. Phil
brooks stamp, who possibly attribute the di-
larity, but the young man who sits in the
dimly lighted seclusion of the back parlor
and sips nectar from the luscious lips of some
unscholarly darling will hardly stop to in
quire if she be thoroughly conversant with
the theory of induction. or knows the differ
ence between battery and a buzz saw
Science has many roble works to perform,
and her disciples are Jealous in her service,
but when it comes to making demonstra-
ton in physics Of that which confounds phi
losophy there will be decided rebellion
against the professors, and realism will sus-
tain a signal defeat from the ideaiity of

graph their dead. Out of a dozen visits
would probably get one job. In couple of
years my reputation grew, and finally I
came to be almost as frequently sent for as
the minister. Only last June messenger
came from South Chicago family, desiring
NE to photograph their dying father. When
l got there he was too far gone and I
had to wait Half an hour after the
old gentleman had breathed his last, and
before he became stiff we had him sitting in
a chair, with his eyes held open with stiff
nnucilage between the lids and brow, and his
legs crossed. He made very good picture.

necessary to take the stiffened corpse out of
the ice-box and prop it against the wall. The

appearance to the picture. Sometimes, and
at the suggestion Of the family, have filed
out the ernaciated cheeks Of dead people
with cotton to make them look plump The
eyes are nearly always prolped open with
pins or mucilage, but when people can afford
to engage an artist it is an easy matter to
paint the eyes afterward. Some time ago I
took picture of dead man who had been
scalded to death. 1t was full length photo

burns on his face and then make a copy in

NO ROOM IN PARIS.
a Comparison with London.--Two
Millions Without Elbow
Room.
london Times.1

The population OF Paris has not been aug
mented at the same rate as that of London,
but at the last census it exceeded two million.
ard II we compare the area of the two CAPT
tais, We lind these two millions crowded into
smaller space than those occupied by any
similar number OF Londonars A large Dor
ton CT London is covered with private gar
dens; the parks of London are large and the
squares numerous. In Paris there are yery
lew private gardens left. There are three
parks within the city-those of Monceau,
Montsouris and Chaumont, but the last
named, which Is the largest, does not exceed
slxty-two acres, and the three together only
measure 130 acres The public gardens of
the Tullerles, Palais Royal, Luxembourg, the
Esplanade of Invalides and eight small
squares complete the breathing spaces of the
CITY, occupying in the aggregate less ground
than the st. James and Green parks, though
to them must be added the avenue DIES
Champs Elysees, which, if it does not offer
The same resources for recreation as Lon
don park, is q favorite walk.
Almost all the parks and gardens of Paris
are mere walks, and if the Partisan wants
place where ne can run OF stretch himself on
the grass he must go the Bots de Boulogne or
that OF Fincennes, the one four miles and the
other hve from the centre Of the city. The
evils OF overcrowding are, therefore, already
felt IN many ways, and they are likely before
long to be felt in other ways more severely
than in London. Additional open spaces and
better class Of dwellings for the poor will
eventually be provided in the heart Of Lon
don by cutting broad avenues through exist
ing slums and erecting houses of six stories
on sights at present covered by houses Of one,
two, or three floors; but in Paris every acre
on which tall houses could be built has been
utilized, and Inhabitants continue to aeeumu-
late in these houses because so long as the
Notifications OF Paris are maintained work
ingmen will find it inconvenient to live out
side the city walls.
The octroi is the great bar to extra mural
residence. Nearly every article of food en-
tering Paris has to pay duty, SO that the peo-
pie who pass the octroi with parcels have to
exhibit their contents, and under such cir
cunstances trains full of workmen carrying
their baskets OF tools and dinners could not
steam rapidly to their destinations as they do
In London. If the civic authorities let work
men pass the octroiswithout an inspection of
their baskets a wholesale smuggling Of wine
and spirits would commence; if, on the other
hand, the baskets were all examined, the de-
lay, confusion and strife would be endless.
Besides, there is no inducement of cheapness
in lodgings to make workmen live outside the
Notifications.
