Knocked out in One Round.

About s o'clock last evening a tall indi-
yidual, who wore a seedy-looking Prince
Albert, passed W. H. Sherburn's auction
house, on K street near Fourth. Mr.. Sher-
burn, who was standing Just inside the
door, noticed the individual pick up
lamp, secrete it under his coat, and proceed
down the street. He followed the fellow
short distance down thesidewalk and, catch
ing up with him, gave him biff in the
neck, Marquis of Kingsbury style, that
would have done credit to John L. Sulli-
van. 1t was a complete knock out and as
the tramp went sprawling headlong into
the street by-standers cried out time" and
the man who knocks down 2" things for
living did not farther punish the PROSTATE
sneak-thief, but quietly picking up his
lamp, which luckily was not broken in
the fall, took it back to his store, set Il
down upon the table from whence it had
been stolen, and commenced dilating upon
the superior qualities of q coal-oil stove
just as though nothing had happened.
When asked why he did not have the thief
arrested, he replied, "Oh I got satisfac-
ton. l am satisfied. Let the poor devil
go. As long as the lamp holds out to burn.
the vilest sinner, you know, may return.
What would like to know, however, is
where in the dickens he got that chestnut
bell that fell out of his pocket"
