APOlice Court Story.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
Police Justice Jacob NJ. Patterson,
who is one OF the best known Justices of
this city, said to me last night: 81 am dis
gusted with some of the newspaper re-
ports of police court affairs as they APP
pear from day to day. To read them is
to give the idea that the Justices of New
York are lot buffoons. There are Incl
dents in our courts every day that would
make much better subjects for a mans
pen than the imaginary scenes that are
pictured, even if they We're actual occur
rences. In my court a few weeks ago
a big Irishman was brought up for
smashing the window of a Chinese
laundry. You can't take the haythen's
word for.what happened, Judge said the
fellow. / vas struck with the force of
that argument at once. No L replied
solemnly, but | can take your word.
Put your hand on the book and be sworn.
The big chap fairly shook and turned
pale while / impsessively put the oath to
him Mike l said you know it is bet
ter that YOU should go up for six month
or smash thousand windows than &c
break that oath made to your Maker in
the presence of this court. Will you
tell me the truth? Il will, said he. Did
you brake the Chinaman window" i

me ony clothes and | got ugly. l WASH I

just month to the day that a big fellow
stopped me at night as l was going into
my house. 1t turned out to be my man

From Ben Pearly Poo"e's Remihes, ences.
When John Covode was chairman of
the House Committee, and occupied a
room in the basement of the capitol, he
used to have some very nice old rye
whisky sent him from Pennsylvania. To
keep it for his own use he had lock
put on door to receptacle under the
washstand. where he used TO stow away
a couple of demijohns, one OF which he
endevored to keep full.
In some mysterious way, however, the
whiskey used to disappear. He had the
locks changed, but still a demijOhn,
which would be locked up i'll the wash
stand full in the morning, would be
empty at night. Finally Uncle John
waxed wroth. He be doggorned if he
wouldn't keep whiskey in his committee
room for himself and his friends, but he
be doggorned if he wanted to go into the
wholesale liquor trader
One evening at the beginning of the
roll call, he noticed a member from
n importe where-recently deceased,
who was on his committee, get to gether
a small part of his friends and leave the
hall. Now, Mr.. Covode prided himself
on always being in his seat to answer to
his name. But, instead of waiting 10
vote, he soon went down to his commit
tee room, and suddenly entered with his
pass key. He took in the situation at
glance. His friend had lifted the mar
BILE top from the washstand, and thus
obtained ready access to the receptacle
beneath, from which he had taken the
demijohn. Caught in the act, he began
to apologize; but Mr.. Covode said, with
a CHEEKY laugh, go ahead, boys. Help
yourselves. / see now how L am in the
wholesale liquor trade, doggorn it all"

Two ladies from Boston recently called
upon Archbishop Ryan, and were very
cordially received, since one of them was
an old friend. The archbishop was par
ticularly struck with the intellectually
and q%uickncss of apprehension of the
newer friend. He could see by the OK
preston of her eyes that she frequently
anticipated his questions and OWNED
his thoughts before he had given him
self complete expression. Presently she
went to another part Of the oom to
examine a picture, and the other lady,
turning to the prelate, said:
Archbishop, do you know hat my
friend has not heard a single word that
you have addressed to herr
WHAT exclaimed the clergyman in
perplexity. 'She has not heard me,
What do you meanf'
"She is stone deaf.
The subject of the conversation had
by this time returned to the archbishop,
and he said to her:
rs it possible that you do o hear
me when | speak,
1T is quite true was the reply. II
have completely lost my hearing, but |
know what is said by the formation OF
the lips. l have been informed that
my skill in that art is, perhaps, uncom
monty high"
The archbishop, by the way, contem-
plates, if possible, bringing into his
jurisdiction a French priest, who has
achieved great results in the art OF
teaching deaf mutes to speak and to
distinguish words by the movement OF
the lips.

were the smallest of signboards on the

ultima thule Of cxclusiveness as carried
from society into trade. In the window
stood a large cabinet. Great age was
indicated by its worm-eaten surfaces,
and the fashion of it was obsolete. Two
women came along and looked in at It.
One said that it might do, and the other
remarked that she thought so, too,
though it was a homely old thing. They
agreed that it was second hand, and
ought to be cheap. They went up the
