The LoAdOn ''Bojbies.r

The majority of the police of London
have come straight into the force from
the country. 1t is found that country
men make the lest policemen. The
born Londoner is of very little use. His
nervous temperament would disQualify
him, even if his physique We're satisfac-
tory, and it is a Well-establlshCd fact
that in physique the Londoner is sadly
deficient. He is not to be compared in
height, breadth of chest, or muscular
tone with the average young man from
the country" AS for his nerves, they
are simply worthless. They are already
strung up to their full limit of endur-
ance. We have heard the same thing
said of bus drivers--that London men
cannot stand the work, and that the best
drivers are those who have been drought
up with horses" in some country stable.
1t is the opinion of officials well able to
Judge, that in the whole of Whitechapel
there could hardly be found a single
man fit to be q policeman. The strong
arm, the stout heart, the cool head, the
steady nerve, are all wanting in the
Londoner; and the proof of it is to be
found in the comparatively small pro-
portion Of Londoners who are admitted,
or, being admitted, can remain in the
police force. Naturally enough, the re-
cruits are chiefly men drawn from the
country round London. Kent furnishes
a goodly number; so do Essex, Hert-
~fordshire, Sussex and Hampshire.
There is an authentic instance of q con-
stable who hailed from Orkney, but
probably he came by sea. With this ex-
ception there is scarcely q man in the
force who comes from the country north
of Glasgow: That city absorbs all the
till men who want to be policemen; and
so in their respective districts do Liver
pool, Leeds, Manchester and the other
large towns of the north of England. 1t
is not till we get south of Birmingham
that the attractive force of the metropo-
lis takes effect. But from the southern
counties there is drawn as fine u body of
men as will be found in any police in
the world-men who come to sacrifice
their splendid physical endowments to
this moloch of o metropolis, t. be re-

George Augustus Sala, the well known Eng.
lish writer, on his last Australian trip wrote an
follows to the London Daily Telegraph:
II especially have a pleasant remembrance
of the ships doctor-a very experienced mari
time medico indeed, who tended me most kind
ly during a horrible spell Of bronchitis and
spasmodic asthma, provoked by the sea fog
which had swooped down on US just after we
left San Francisco. But the doctors prescrip-
lions and the increasing warmth Of the tenn
perature as we neared the Tropics, and in par
%ticular, a couple of ALLCoCK's Porous PLAs-
TIERS clapped on-one on the chest and another

VERONA BALDWIN, who shot the Cal
ifornia millionaire of that name and
wrung $50, 600 from him in compromise
of her suit for breach of promise, now
wants her attorney in that case dis
barred for accepting brides, and threat
ems to sue for bigamy the rancher she
married.
Gen. BUTLER grows stouter every
year, and he is unable to walk anv
considerable distance without feeling
exhausted. But if his body is falling.
his mind is not, and his friends and
brother attorneys say he is as able an
advocate and as formidable an oppo.
nent as ever.
THE law Is supposed TO be an engine
to administer justice, but it seems
sometimes to defeat it's end. A pecu-
Liar case in point is that of q Massa-
chusetts woman who married a man in
good faith nineteen years ago and lived
with him as his wife until his death. in
1885. She then learned that her sup
posed husband was already married
when he married her; that his wife is
still living, and that no decree of sep
aratiOn has ever been entered. Learn
ing that she had no legal right to his
property, she sued to recover for sery-
ices as his housekeeper. Here the law
[ steDUed in and informed har fbat DC che
lived with the late lamented as his wife
she had no claim on him for services
as q servant; and that as she was no
wife in law, though u~ndeniab1y so in
fact, no dover right can be maintained.
She seems to be just wife enough to
defeat her claim for recompense as a
servant, but not enough to establish
her claim to share in his estate. This
may be law a yard wide, but it is scant
Justice.
