ATeuToNlc DISTURBANCE.
Charles EngeIhardt and George Stein
bracher Have Trouble.

Charles Engelhardt is youthful Teuton.
still in his teens and works at Knsterers brew
cry. So did George Steinbraeher, another
German, until Tuesday, when for some sufi
icient cause he was given the grand bounce.
Though Charles is still a callow youth, be
has learned enough TO know that there is
nothing in life half SO sweet as loves young
dream. Consequently he called for Katarina,
who helps To manage the kitchen depart
ment at the Bridge Street House, last night,
and with her took walk over to No. 80
West Broadway, where her mother and ''sec-
ond father live. Now, il so happens that
George Steinbracher and his bride, whom
he made his own by permission of the Police
Court short time since, reside in the
rear part of the same building. Dur
ing the course of the evening sCharles and
George got to talking brewery matters over,
and it is presumable that George in some
way connected Charles with the grand bounce
he got the day before. AT all events, the
meeting of these two Teutons, came very
near bringing on the tug of war. Charles
said, the more he talked with Steinbracher
the madder he got, until he finally drew a
revolver and threatened TO shoot him
(Engelhart.) AS that wasn't what Charles
had taken Katharine walking for, he jumped
out of the back window and ran to police
headquarters for an officer to arrest Stein
bracher. He told Clerk Hurley all about it,
how he had taken his girl out for pleasant
time, was disappointed and how as he ran
when a quarter of block away, Stein
bracher fired his revolver. When told he
would have to come in the morning and get
a warrant, he declared he woald have to go
back for his girl anyway. 1t is to be hoped
he got safely through the dangers of the
night, win his Katarina and teach Stein
bracher better manners than to spoil an
evenings entertainment.

There is really no reason why Christmas
should always so take us by surprise. Year
after year we find the blessed holiday in
dictated upon our calendars by cap
itals large and black, and from
our earliest remembrance the 25th
of December has never failed to put in an
appearance, coming to time even in the
worst of weather with the most clock-like
regularity. And yet we are never ready for
it. We determine upon the first day of each
January to straightway begin our prepare
tons for the next Christmas, and, notwith-
standing, we invariably wake up some fine
morning with the firm conviction that
Christmas is but two weeks away and that,
in the language of the poet, there isn't a
dish washed" And then there is hurryng
| to and fro. This year has proved no ex-
ception to the general rule. so at the present
time we are all dancing about like fairies
and madly skirmishing from shop to shop.
We shall of course be completely used up
by Christmas eve, but we shall have had
more fun than a basket of monkeys.
~
And do, please, somebody, sit down hard
upon those misanthropical. cross grained.
gnarled and grabbed descendants of the an
cient Puritans who wish to abolish the GUS
tom of interchanging Christmas gifts. They
complain that we frightfully overdo the
matter; that we vie with each other in the
expensiveness of our presents; that we
often stint our families for half the year
that we may surprise our friends at Christ
mas, and that the recipient of costly token
| is.apt to have her pleasure sadly married by
the knowledge of her inability to make
| what she deems suitable return, but we
| shall not Jay the slightest attention to their
| protests. Because one small boy makes
| himself sick with mince-pie. must we all,
forsooth. give up our roast turkey and
plum pudding? And because one little girl
| isn't pleased with the contents of her stock
ing. shall all the families lose faith in
Santa Claus? Just let our sober, thought
! full friends come down from their high
