MISCELLANY. t r V
DEFECTIVE HE ARIXQ ("IN A PIG'S
EYE.") 'V ... ;
There is a certain red-faced, jolly indU
Vidual, formerly, ns he sajscommander of
lh scow-boat "lna Pigsi,M.whose innate
love of fn and ardent devotion to the bot
tle has brought hirn mttny limes under the
official cognizance of the Police Justice of
the Third District. An uncompromising
hater of Dutchmen, and nn enthusiastic,
perservering, and ingenious practical joker,
his unconquerable propensity, to play off
his one sided jests upon his Teutonic vic
tims, has made nun well known in trie
neisborhood: and fhese peculiarities, added
" to- his Io-vb of alcoholic srinlit, harerror
unfrequently got him. into.irouble so serious
s to call for -judicial interference. He
was never known ta lose a chance to crack
a malicious joke on a. Dutchman, or let
Iip an opportunity to get drunk on those
detestable beverages known to the initiated
by the alluyfig. names of -'stone fence" and
'chain lightning." He rejoices in the ap-
oellation of. William Barlow, and is of
course always called Billy Barlow, but
whether or not the identical individual of
tattered wardrobe celebrated in song, this
deponent saith not.
Whenever an unlucky spree, or nn unu
sually serious joke upon some unfortunate
German brings him before the Court, he
resort3 to some novel and ingenious exped
ient to shun the wrath to come. He ha3
successfully feigned insanity, counterfeited
sickness, bejrjred off on account of a death
in his family, and once got permission of
the officer to step across tre street to re
deem his only coat from a pawnbroker,
when he slipped round the corner and in
continently vanished.
He was brought np this time for being
drunk and pouring dirty water into a Dutch
man's pickle-rjarrel, after having kept him
awake nil night by throwing paving stones
on hiroof, and rolling empty barrels into
his cellar-way. The' same man said that
last week Billy started an alarm of fire, ran
lor engine 97, conducted the company to
his house, and flooded his whole establish
ment, half drowning his wife, and sending
all his floating furniture on little experi
mental voyages through the lower rooms.
On being brought before the Court, Bdly
shammed deaf no question, however loud
ly shouted by the Judge, or roared by the
Clerk, would he hear a word of. He was,
however, always ready with an answer,
which he generally contrived to render as
irrelevant and foreign to the subject as pos
sible, and at the same time, when ho did
touch upon it, so constructed as to throw
all the blame of the aff-iir upon tho unoff
ending German.
Jud;r What is this complaint against
Mr. Barlow t
Victimized German Please your hon
ors, dis fellers here he make mine roof mit
stones so noise, dat I cannot shleep. He
come to mind house all day, he scares mine
vrow, he" makes mine children to cry de
water from dere eyes; he gets drusted for
mine lager, and den at nigh: be blows mine
pig up rait gunpowder, and puts da water
in mine sauer kraut so he schmell worse as
Jam.
Judge Mr. Barlow, what have you to
say to this?
Billy, who had ben regarding the Court
with great apparent attention, and with bis
hand behind his ear, evidently doing his ut
most to catch the words of the Judge, here
made a sudden movement forward, co itriv
ing in so doing to tread on ihe Dutchman's
toes; and hit his wife a dig in the ribs with
his elbows, and, looking steadfastly at the
Justice, without a smile on his face, rcpli-ed-r
I quite ,Hgree with your honor that he
keeps bad liquor his rum is horrible, his
brandy enough to burn the bowels out of
any human, his whisky is damnable, and
even his lager beer tastes like a compound
of aloes, soapsuds, turpentine, tallow, ancf
ditch water.
Judge I said nothing about anybody's
Just so, he charged me just the
same.
Clerk What are you talkingibout?
Billy Zfc'-zactly, he tried to tell me the
same story.
Judge Have you been playing your
jokes' on this man or not?
Billy I told him the very same words
that you did, your honor, you d d old
pot-bellied Dutchman, said I, go to the dev
il with your rum; you're a
Jifrlge Silence! .
Billy Bloody scoundrel, and
Clerk Stop your noise.
Billy The most contemptible villain in
the world, and
Clerk Either I'm a fool, or
Billy You know that as well as I do;
so said I again-
Clerk Keep still. "
Billy Shut up your black mouth ! If
jou dare open it again
Judge I'll commit you for contempt.
' Billy I'll break your jaw with this boot
jack. .
Judge It's no use, I shall send you to
(to the Dutchman) You hear
what his honor says? you've got to go to
the tombs. Now you see the censequenc
es of interfering with a respectable man.
Good bye, Hans; I'll take care of your wife
until you come out. I'll forgive you this
time for being a Dutchman? if you'll pro
mise not to do so again. (To the Judge)
Please the Court, lei me speak fof Dutch
y. I don't bear malice against htm; let him
off easy, your honor; don't send him up for
more than three months, and don't make
him work too hard. ; ...
Judge I shall fine you 810, Billy, for
being drunk and disturbing the peace.
Billy (to Dutchman) Never mind, Hans
I'll get you off yet. .-;'..;' '
Billy here toQk the German into a cor
ner, and in five minutes succeeded in con
vincing him that be was in danger of being
sent to prison, and ultimately extracted
from Hans pocket $11, being all the mon
ey he bad about him. Billy then paid the
, Clerk bis fine, and motioned tho German
out doors, who departed, too happy to es
cape at even that rate. Billy now address
ed the Judge
" At any time your honor may have leis
ure " -
Judge I'll send you to jail next time,
sure. .
Billy I shall be happy to accompany
you
Clerk Go, now, you've said enough.
Billy To make a-unit, on board my
beautiful scow '
Judge You'll come to the Penitentiary
yet, Billy. . .
Bill j "Ina Pigsi-" '
Billy here departed, with a wink to Po
liceman 101, which -convinced" that wor-

A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of
pleasure finds he has imbibed Ihe steds of .his
painful disease, it too often "happens that onill-tiin-ed
sensc-uf shame, or dread of discovery, deters
him from applying to those who, Irom education

bones of the nose fall in. and the victim of this
awful disease becomes a horrid object of commi
seration, till death puts a period to his dreadlul su!
ferings, by sending him to-"that bourne from
whence no traveller returns." To ruth llun lo e.
Dr. Johnton pledges himself to preserve the most
inviolable tecrety; and, from his extensive prac
tice in the first Hospitalsin Europe and Ameiica,
he can confidently recommend a snfe and speedy
cure to ihe unfortuna'e victim of this horrid di
ciirc. It is a melancholy fact j that thousands fall
victims to this dreadful disease, owing to the un
skilfulnr ss ol ignorant prru-ndets, who, by the ure
of that deadly poison, mercury, ruin the constitu

untimely grave, or else make the residue of life mis
