A few days ag->, I called to ?pend an hour in

mother <>f a child about eight months old.
While I was there. the childjn the nurse'?

it. bat it did not hush

grinning at Rose )
\s Rose delivered the child, she gave visible
signs of dodging ju>t as the child left her arms;
and, that sh?? might not be disappointed. Mrs.
S:ang gave her a box, in which there seemed
to be no anger mixed at all, and which Rose
received us ?i matter of course, without even
changing countenance under it.

Rose brought the paregoric, handed it. dodged
and got her expectations realized as before.
Now go bring me the sugar and some wafer."
Rose brought them, and delivered both without
the customary reward; for at that instant,
the child, being laid perfectly still on the lap.
hushed.
Toe paregoric was administered, and thechild
received it with only a whimper now and then.
As soon as it received the medicine, the mother
raised it up and it began to cry.

" Bless my soul aud body, what can be the

own eyes.) Something's the matter with it, I
know it is." (laying the child on her lap and
feeling its aiin? to see whether it flinched at
the touch of any particular part, but the child
c.ied le*s while she was feeling it than before )

Here Rose was reduced to a non plus; for.
upon the peril of having a bureau stuffed down

stood mute.

HOW PICKPOCKETS OPERATE
Although tho old saying of -'set a thief to
catch a thief is utterly repudiated by the
Police Department, still there are many of the
detectives who know how to. handle every tool
u.-ed by burglars or thieves, who can show you
"where the little joker is." who can work the
patent safe or p?x:kct-book dropping game, or
pick a pocket, as dexterously as the most expert
operator in either line of business. If you
have been robbed in any manner, tell one of
thorn the circumstances attending the case, and
he will tell you where, when, and how the theft
wRa perpetrated, and, not unfrequently he
will shrewdly guess the name of the offender
Ueing in the Detective Office a few days since,
we observed a curious scene, which we will
describe. The Captain, Sergeants, and half a
dozen detectives were sitting about the tire
busily engaged in coloring their respective
meerschaums and canvassing the prospects of
this or that thief, or relating how "Corkie
Jack'' "did" this countryman, or how - Cockney
Bill" got five years for appropriating a
gentleman's watch?when a heavy-whiskered,
broad-shouldered, rough-looking personage enters.
A single glance satisfies all hands that
he is a countryman and has been "done" by
s >me sharper. The countryman says he has
been robbed of a pocket-book containing $.100 (
in gold. He is asked to relate how it occurred 1
and replied by saying that he left the Astor
House in the morning for Jersey City; went 1
down to the ferry-boat where he bought a !
ticket for Philadelphia, paying for it from a '
roll of bills which he afterwards put back in ]
his pocket, and when he landed in Jersey City <
the money wns gone. Having given this sim- '
EJe statement, one of the Detectives questions
ini oloscly, and elicits the further tacts that '
ho stopped at the ruilroad ticket office, in the J
ferry-house, and bought a ticket for Philadel- c
phis; that in paying for the same he exhibited
a roll of bank bills, which he again put into his
P'-^cket; that the boat was crowded; that in his
hurry to be first on the shore he had forced his ]
way to the bow of the boat; that he was jostled '
considerably by the crowd; that he had a bundie
in his hand which he clasped tightly across r!
his breast with his left hand and arm; that n ?
well dressed gentleman with a light moustache ?
addressed several remarks to him, and stood j
by him in the crowd: that when the boat
struck the bridge, he stepped over th? chain, ?
left toot first, and went ashore; when he got ?,
into the depot he missed the money. The Deteetive
having got all the information he dc- *
sired, then said to the stranger, "Fancy Char- [
ley has got your money, and I'll tell you how 1:
he did it \\ hen you bought your ticket, r
Charley saw how much money you put in jj
your pocket; he stuck close to you while cross- j
ing the river, and he was the well dressed
man who spoke to you. The bundle you held 2
so tightly kept your left arm occupied, just as -j
he would have fixed it if he had the placing of '1
it. He kept jostling against you, so that you !3
would not notice him when he took the money. ']
When you lifted your left leg to get over the H
chain, his right hand went into your left hand "1
pocket, and the money was his. The act of ]
stepping over tb? chain eased.up your pantaloon,
so that you could not feel his touch."
The Detective then points to a crack in the ]
floor, places the man a arm across his breast, 1
and tells him to imagine the crack to be the !
boat's chain, and requests him to step over t
The country man walked a few steps forwar I, \
lifts hi- left leg to step over tho imaginary H
chain, when in a twinkling the Detective's 1
hand slides unperceived into his pocket, and l
dfaws forth a jack-kuife without exciting the <]
least suspicion on the part of the stranger. 1
W hen shown the trick, the countryman "allows
it's pretty cute," and is satisfied where !
his money is gone. He was then shown a pic- ^
ture of Charles, which graces the Rogue's ']
Uallery, and in it rcoognized the man who
had addressed him on the boat. Hut how to c
got his money bank, "that's the question." J
1 Fancy Charley" is too smart to show his face t
in New York for some time, but is rusticating ^
in the interior of Jer-tey, ?nd the countryman }
cannot remain till a requisition is procured 1
and Charley arrested, consequently he departs 1
for home minus >300. '
