NEW YORK POLICE.
How tha Great Metropolis is
Guarded Day and Night.
Ihe Number of Policemen—Their Nation"
ality* and the Detective Bureau.
New Yorkers religiously believe that
they have the best police system and the
finest police force in existence. As rep
resented by the Board of Aldermen—
August 11, 1880—they hold that “the
Police Department has reached a stand
ard of efficiency hitherto unattained,
and superior to that of any force in the
world.” This opinion, expressed after
the funeral of cx-Prcsident Grant, may
only be that of a maj >rity ; but, never
theless, exceptions prove the rule.
What is the number of the metropoli
tan police force? what are its duties?
how is it organ.zed? and in what man
ner are its du'.ics performed? are ques
tions whose answers determine the
soundness or unsound ness of the popular
faitli.
The number of the police force, of all
ranks and grades, on the last day of A.
D. 1885, was 2933, including 35 proba
tionera. The legislature of the State of
New York on May 12, 1880, unanimous
ly authorized the addition of 500, in
deference to the general conviction
it wus numerically too small to’copc with
the possible emergencies of the times.
The city of New York, estimating its
population at 1,650,000, then had, ex
c usive of the Central Park force, one
p-d.cc officer to every 502 of the inhabi
tants. This, in view of the heterogen
eous character of the people, and the
peculiar relation of the cty to the con
tinent. was really an insufficient supply.
In 1883 Philadelphia had one policeman
to every 636 of its citizens; Baltimore,
one to 525; Boston, one to 487; the
metropolitan district of London,
one to 312, and the ancient city of Lon
don, one to every 100.
The Police Department of New York,
established and organized under the law
of 1870, consists of the Board of Police
—which is composed of four commis
sioners, appointed by tiie Mayor—of the
police force, and of officials appointed
by the commissioners.
The bulk of the police force, corre
spondingto the privates or enlisted men
of the regular array, consisted on the Ist
of January, 1886, of the 2396 patrolmen.
On the 15tn of June, according to the
return of Deputy Chief Clerk Delameter,
the native nationality of the 2936 men
of all ranks and grades then constituting
the police force were as follows: Uuited
States, 1745; Ireland, 974; Germany,
136; Austria. 4; Italy, 5; Switzerland,
1; Canada, 13; Englaud, 30; Finland,
1; Scotland, 14; France, 6; Bavarii, 1;
Nova Scotia, 2; Dmmark, 1; Sweeden,
2; West Indies, 1. Thus the United States
have contributed 59.46, Ireland 33.17,
and all other countries 7.37 per cent, of
(the whole. The Hibernian element, in
cluding those born in this country, is
decidedly predominant. Naturally
enough, those in whose constitution
habits of subordination to authority
have been ingrained by generations of
servitude are most watchful and reso
lute when the enforcement of law is in
trusted to their hands. Whatever their an
cestral antecedents, the New York police
have invariably illustrated the virtue of
implicit obedience, self-control, manly
courage and intelligent fidelity. The
club is at times quite freely used. The
ideal policeman is only an ideal. The
actual is but an approximation to the
imagiaary archetype, because he is only
a man under all the limitations of the
commonplace American citizen.
The detection of crime is a secondary
function of the police force, but is one
of such romantib and morbidly fascinat
ing character that it possesses absorbing
interest for the great majority of read
ers. The detective bureau, with apart
ments and records at police headquar
ters, includes forty detective sergeants,
under the orders of Inspector Thomas
Byrnes. This officer, whose celebrity
vies with that of Fouchc and Vidocq,
has been in .command sincS 1880.

The Forts Around Paris.
The forts which have been constructed
round Paris since 1871 are so far outside
the old forts and form so wide a circle
that it would require an incalcuble
number of inen to invest the city. It
took 300,000 Germans to encircle the old
line; there are not enough men in Ger
many to encircle the new one. It would
accordingly be impossible to prevent
the garrison of Paris from receiving
supplies and reinforcements, and the
city could hold out for ever. The only
way to capture it is by assault, and as
this method was considered impractica
ble in 1870, it is not likely to be tried
next time.—[Times-Democrat.

Forms of Taking an Oath.
Quite a chapter might be
writes Din de Quilic in the Salt Lako
Tribune, upon the methods of taking
oaths in various countries in both ar.cient
and modern times. In some parts of
China a witness is sworn upon a saucer
at the moment he takes the oath. In
Egypt the custom prevailed of swearing
by the goose. This is said to have been
on account of the veneration in which
the goose was held in that country.
In Madagascar the people swear cither
by their sovereign or by their mother,and
there are two forms of witnessing the
oath, one to “strike the water,” and the
other to “spear the calf.”
According to Oldfield, in his “Expe
dition into the interior of Africa, by the
Niger,” at Iddah, “placing a naked
sword or knife to the throat is looked
upon as the strongest proof of innocence,
and the most solemn form of oath they
can administer. In this manner the
King is sworn, or sometimes at the point
of a poisoned arrow.
We learn from “Btuce’s Travels” that
♦ +
in Abyssinia a much less savage form of
swearing is in use. He says: “They
took the two fore-fingers of my right
hand, one after the other, and then
kissed them—a form of swearing used
there, at least among those who call
themselves Christians.
Tue most ancient form of swearing of
which we have any record is that men
tioned in the Bible of Genesis, where
Abraham, swearing his eldest servant,
required him to place his hand under
his (Abraham’s) thigh. This form is
mentioned in several places in the Old
Testament. Anciently the Jews swore
by Joiusalem, by the temple, by th?
God of Israel, and also by broken glass,
this last form being similar to the Chin
ese custom of breaking a saucer against
the witness box.
The ancient Greeks and Romans swore
# by Jupiter, Minerva, Neptune and other
gods and goodesses, laying their head
upon the altar of divinity sworn by tak-,
ing a particularly oath; the ancient
Germans by their gods, by their swords
and by their beards; the Scandinavians,
beside appealing to the gods, touched a
bloody ring in the hands of a priest.
The Hindoo swears by the Oeda, and a
Mohammedan is sworn on the Koran.
On the Danube.
A correspondent of the Minneapolis
Tribune gives his impression of the Dan
ube river as follows: If anyone has
taken the river route to Buda Pesth un
der the delusion that he is to see fine
scenery he is quickly disabused. The
finest scenery of all the Danube is above
Vienna, between the capitol and Linz,
and also further up, as far as Passau.
Along this part of its course there is a
constant succession of villages with cas
tles, hills crowned with ruins, abbeys in
picturesque localities, and landscapes of
great beauty and variety. It is in this
respect one of the most noted parts of
Austria, which has a greater variety of
lands cape beauty than any other country
of Europe. Below Bud a-Pesth the
views are fine and bold. The
shores are more abrupt and there are
splendid reaches of the river, which
receives larger tributaries and becomes
more majestic. For some distance be
low Vienna the levees are numerous
though not continuous. The land near
the banks is low and the hills beyond
them the gentlest undulations. The
towns that are passed from time to time
do little to enhance the interest as re
spects their appearance, though all of
them had their little affairs with the
Turks three or four hundred years ago.
In fact, every square mile of ground
along either bank, soon after leaving
Vienna, is historic. At the left and just
out of sight are the battle-fields of Es
sling and Wagram. You pass the island
of Lobau, the largest in the Danube, In
1806 the French army was shut In here
all winter. At Petronell there was an
old Roman settlement. Near Deutsche-
Altcnbourg there is a mound called Hut
elburg, because built of earth brought
in their hats by the inhabitants to com
memorate the expulsion of the Turks,
who had occupied the citadel of Buda
for 160 years. The 200th anniversary of
the recapture of the stronghold by the
Hungarians was celebrated at Buda-
Pesth last August.
A Soldier’s Sword,
In his will, the late Gen. Durbin
Ward of Ohio, gave to his neice, Ella
\Mard, the j wei-mounted sword which
had been presented to him by the
privates of his old regiment. He enjoins
her that she shall “deliver it to her
eldest son, should she be blessed
with one, and if he should die, to the
next eldest in succession, and with it
the charge never to draw it in a bad
cause, and to never leave it sheathed
should a good one require its aid, and
command him also to send it down to
posterity to the eldest son in the direct
line so long as any Ward blood can
weild a sword, until that blessed time
shall come when all swords shall be
beaten into ploughshares.’’

LADIES’ DEPARTMENT.
Imitating Mr*. Cleveland.
Mrs. Cleveland devotes a good deal of
attention to dress with a very successful
result. She wears golden and seal brown
frequently, which brings out in relief her
fine complexion. This fancy of hers
finds many imitators, who began by copy
ing her mode of dressing her hair, and
now have orders at the jewelers’ to copy
her Christmas gift from the President, a
daisy pin with petals of small, clear
white diamonds, the centre represented
by a supurb yellow diamond.—[Chicago

How the Mexican See* Hi* Ulrl.
In Mexico it must he true, indeed,
that “Matches are made in heaven,” for
the youth of this country, writes
Fannie B. Ward, have few opportunities
of performing that pleasant business for
themselves. Here young ladies are not
permitted to go to balls or theatres, to
drive or promenade in the plazas, or even
to sit in their own parlors with gentle
men acquaintances without the vigilant
supervision of mother or duenna. In
fact, it is not the custom for unmarried
ladies to go with gentlemen at all who
are not their nearest kin, or to receive
them socially at home under any circum
stances. Of course, lam speaking only
of the upper classes, for generally the
poor and lowly herd together like cat
tle, with little formality in the way of
marriage or other conventionalities.
The Lovely Ladies of Lima.
The ladies of Lima are all eyes. They
have the reputation of being, as a class,
the most beautiful in the world, and
meeting them on the way to mass in the
morning, or shopping later in the day,
one can easily see how they obtained it;
but, knowing them in their homes, the
opinion changes, and you conclude after
calm reflection that they are not so
pretty as the women of New York. It
is the manta, which they wear in such a
coquettish way, that gives them their
reputation for beauty, for it conceals
every feature exceept their bewitching
eyes and lovely olive complexion.
No matter ho\v ugly her mouth or her
nose is; no matter how high her cheek
bones or large her ears; no matter whether
she is as scrawny as a scarecrow or as bald
as a bat, a “manta” will make any woman
with pretty eyes look handsome, and,
like charity, it covers a multitude of sins.
This garment, which is peculiar to Peru,
and is worn by ladies of all ages and
social positions, from the President’s
wife to the laundress who comes after
your linen, is a sort of foster-sister to
the mantilla of Spain. It is usually of
crepe from china, and costs anywhere
from $lO to SSOO, according tts
quality.—[Buenos Ayres Herald.
Wages of Women.
The wages paid to women, in almost
every line of business, are miserably
low. It is very seldom that women re
ceive, even for the same work, more than
half the wages of men. Mary A.
Livermore writing of “Woman’s Work
in Moral Reforms,” say: “In Boston
there are over twenty thousand women
whose average age is about twenty-five
years, who work ten hours a day for
less than an average of four dollars a
week. This is exclusive of those en
gaged in domestic service, who number
nearly sixteen thousand more. In the
City of New York one hundred and
twenty five thousand working women
are reported, whose average wages are
no higher than those in Boston. A simi
lar condition of things undoubtedly
exists in all our large cities.” In Phila
delphia there are nearly as
workers as in New York, and their aver
age pay is little, if any larger. Women
do the same work as men, laboring a 9
long, and as well, and receive but half
the pay. We have seen two persons—
one a man, the other a women—standing
behind the counter in a large retail house
in this city, and doing the same work
for an equal number of hours; the wom
an received four dollars, the man nine
dollars. Nor is the difference in renum
eration affected by the character of the
work. According to Mrs. Livermore,
the average pay of a female teacher in the
State of Massachusetts is less than one
third the average pay of the male teach
er. In Philadelphia the wages paid to
women folders are about equal to those
paid to the boys in the binderies. In
every calling (except possibly one or two
of the professions) exists the same in
equality, the same unfairness.—[Chicago

At Saxon Peasant Weddings.
Among the games enacted at some of
the Saxon peasant weddings there is one
which deserves to be mentioned, afford
ing a9 it does a curious proof of the
tenacity of old Pagan rites and customs,
transmitted t>y verbal tradition from one
generation to the other. This is the
Rossel Tanz, or dance of the horses, evi
dently founded on an ancient Scandina
vian legend to be found in Snorri’s
“Edda.” In this tale the gods Thor
and Loki came to a peasant’s house in a
carriage drawn by two goats or rams, and
asked for a night’s lodging. Thor killed
the two rams, and with the peasant and
his family consumed their flesh for sup
per. The bones were then ordered to
be thrown in a heap on to the hides of
the animals; but one of the peasant’s
sons had in eating broken open" a bone
in order to get at the marrow Within,
and next morning when the god com
manded the goats to get up, one of them
limped on the hind leg, because of the
broken bone. At first Thor was in a
great rage, and threatened to destroy
the whole family, but finally allowed
himself to be pacified, and accepted the
two sons as hostages. In the peasant
drama we have now before us the gods
Thor and Loki are replaced by a colonel
and a lieutenant-colonel, and instead of
two goats there are two horses and one
goat; also the two sons of the peasants
are here designated as Wallachians.
Everything is, of coarse, much distorted
and changed, but still all the principal
features of the drama, which space for
bids me here to enlarge upon, are clearly
recognizable. The killing of the goat
and its subsequent resurrection, the rage
of the colonel, and the trausferment of
the two Wallachians into his service be
ing all parts of the performance. —

Fashion Notes.
The peasant sleeve with wide puff and
bands is very stylish.
Turbans are to be worn more than
ever the coming season.
The prettiest of doylies are of em
broidered silk bolting cloth.
White kid gloves are being revived in
French ball rooms just now.
The sash curtains of striped chambery
gauze are very pretty and dainty.
The peasant waist is still the prettiest
mode for a young girl’s house waist.
Red is notably the color in spring mil
linery, as it has been the past winter.
Corded gingham are among the
pretty new fabrics for the spring season.
Watered ribbon is much worn as
sashes, both for house and street wear.
Cuff buttons are small and flat, and
obtrude themselves as little as possible.
Little jackets of mat beaJs are worn
over black surah waists for half mourn
ing.
Watteau brocades are now among the
cotton fabrics, and are in exquisite
coloring.
The old becoming strap shoes are re
appearing and are even made in natural
colored leather.
Bretelle3, real or simulated, are girlish
looking and often becoming trimming to
o o o
a half- dress gown.
For spring garments there is nothing
prettier than the covert and coat in the
light bisque shades.
Dull red corduroy skirts are quite
picturesque as well as stylish. Dark
green is worn witly them.
Crystal buttons are so cut as to show
no eye and are very stylish on the white
vests so stylish just now.
Corduroy in white is seen in some
English models. The trimming is of
velvet in either red or black.
The satin striped gossamer silks are
worn by bridesmaids, and these silks are
found in all the delicate shades.
Several small combs are worn in the
hair instead of one good sized one, and
they are tucked in apparently at ran
dom.
The cotton frise cloths, so very stylish
last season, are seen again this year
among the new goods. S;ripes are very
stylish.
By those who can wear frills and extra
de orations colored ribbon bows are
much liked as foundation for the innu
merable fancy pins now worn.
The yoked jersey is the last, and gives
a little variety to this well beloved waist,
which will always be regretted when it
goes out of fashion, if it ever does.
The ribbons were never ill greater va
riety than this season, and those for the
spring and coming summer are gorgeous
in the extreme. Brocades are the new
§
est.
Baby ribbon pompons are not only
used for trimming all sorts of hats and
bonnets, but also for head-dresses, in
which case they are intermixed with
tulle puffs or fancy butterflies.
Now is the time to rejoice in half-worn
gowns. An authority on dress grudg
ingly admits that sleeves of a different
material to the dress may be used. Care
must of course be taken that the sleeves
harmonize with some portion of the
toilet.
A Born Mystified.
A genuine bore having bothered a
newcomer with every conceivable ques
tion relative to his object in visiting the
gold country, his hopes, his means and
his prospects, at length asked him if he
had a family. “Yes, sir; I have a wife
and six children, and I never saw one
of them.” After this reply the two sat
a few minutes in silence, then the in
quisitive man began again—“ Was you
ever blind, sir?” “No, sir.” “Did you
marry a widow, sir?” “No, sir.” An
other int rval of silence. “Did I under
stand you to say, sir, that you had a
wife and six children living in New
York, and had never seen one of them?”
“Yes, sir, Iso stated it.” Another and
a long pause. Then the bore re-com
menced: “How can it be, sir, that you
never sa & one of them?” “Why,” waa
the reply, “one of them was born after I
left.”

would furnish sufficient ice to form a

probable that they should ever b<

Rural Life in Russia.
Usury is the greatest nightmare of
rural Russia at present, an evil which
seems to dog the peasant proprietor in
all countries alike. The “Gombeen
Man” is fast getting possession of the
little Irish owneiS. A man who hires
land cannot borrow on it; the little
owner is tempted always to mortgage it
at a pinch. In Russia he borrows to the
outside of its value to pay the taxes and
get in his crop. The “bondage labor
ers,” i. e., men bound to work on the,
creditor’s land as interest for money lent
receive no wages and are in fact a sort
of slaves. They repay their extortioners
by working as badly as they can—a
“level worst,” far inferior to that of the
serfs of old, they harvest three and a
half or four stacks of corn where the
other peasants get five. The koulaka
and mir-eaters, and other usurers, often
of peasant origin, exhaust the peasant in
every way; they then foreclose the
mortgages, unite the small pieces of
land once more, and reconstitute large
estates. A koulak is not to be trifled
with; he finds a thousand occasions for
revenge; the peasant cannot cheat the
Jew as he does the landlord, and is be
ing starved out—the mortality is enor
mous. In the rural districts of England
the death rate is 18 per 1000. In the
whole of Central Russia it reached 62
per 1000 at the last revision in 1882.
“The famine, now so frightfully com
mon, is not owing to barrenness of the
soil, for the mortality is greatest where
the land is best. The birth rate in these
provinces is 45.”—[Nineteenth Century.
