The J o’.icemen shall devote their

mediate dismiss.*’.
They must appear in full uniform

required of me, and in ail cases
conform to the ordinances of the
city and police jegulations, and
report all violations of the same,
and all violations of the criminal
laws of the state, which may come
to my knowledge. So help me God,”
There is no intention in thu
article to intimate that the police
o ce, of Rome have violated th' n
oaths of office; but it cm do no
possible hami to remind them aud
the public ot the duties imposed
upon them by law,
•’Citizen.”
HE JUGGLED THE COURT.
A Hindoo juggler was up before
a police court in New York the
otluff day. He was charged with
being drunk, which he denied,
saying that it was contrary to his
religion to be drunk, as he was a
Moslem. He said that he was a
juggler, who had been at the
world’s fair, and had simply lost
his way in the city when he was
arrested, To prove that he was a
juggler, the prisoner borrowed a
handkerchief from a court officer
and tied seven knots in it. He
then passed it around for inspec
tion, and when it was returned to
him blew on it and the knots dis
appeared. The prisoner then ad
mitted that he had been intoxicat
ed. and Justice Ryan discharged
him, and remarked : “You'd juggle
your way out of jail if I committed
you. ”
