The marks of the pickpocket’s let ter to his brother, show him to be possessed with intelligence, and gen erally speaking, of late days, shrewd rogues are those who have had ad vantage of an education.

Terms, 2.3 iiYear in Advance Why Is II 1 Editors Sentinel: There is some complaint that there is no money iu the city treasury to defray the necessary expenses of our town. We are of the opinion that if the ordinances were inforeed there would be sufficient money gath ered from fines to help out largely in making tbe improvements that are required. If a person now a days gets drunk and us< s obscene language on our streets he is never brought before council. Now, such way ot do ing business, in our judgment, is not in aceord with good government.— But the question arises, whose duty is it to look af.er these trasgressors of the law ? In towns wjiero we have lived before it has been the duty of the Town Marshal to look after viola tors and bring them before council, where they were required to fork over something for the treasury. But it is not so in Harlem, there are acts com mitted on our streets frequently, that were they committed in other towns of our knowledge, the perpe trators would have to pay for the dancing. When a Marshal is sworn into office, he takes an oath that he will look after the peace and welfare of the town and to see that the town ordinances are carried out to a letter. Is it fear or affection that causes this leniency on the part of the Town Marshal ’? Cenex. PICKPOCKETS. a rascal’s letter laid babe. Atlanta special to Wednesday's Gazette: John Cannon and Vance, notorious pickpockets, who were of the bunch arrested last week ai.d re leased yesterday, were re-arrested to day on telegrams from Nashville, which announces the theft of sixteen watches. Officers spotte 1 these men and have them in the Jock-up in the belief they stole the watches. Can non, alias Sid McManning, was ar rested as ho v.as mailing the follow ing letter: Atlanta, Oct. 25, 1887. Dear Brother: You have seen by this time, in the Cincinnati Enquirer, of my trouble in Atlanta. I was turn ed out last night, and will leave here Friday for Texas. Vance, Fresh, Baker, Tom and Horton were pinch ed with me. Held uh eight days. I would have gvine to Macon, but they tallied on us there and sent over pho tos. I have a ticket to Fort Worth ami a dollar left, and I consider my self lucky to Lave that. If you have anything particular to communicate to me you can tally to Louis Wright, general delivery, post office Dallas, Texas. Love to all. Yours, etc., “Sid.” Vance was also in the act of mail ing a letter, but succeeded in tearing it up. A gold watch was found on Cannon, which answered tbe descrip tion of one of the Nashville watches.

Taylor’s Cherokee Remedy of Sweet Gum and Mullein will cure her. He Found He Couldn't. Brunswick Breeze: Last Saturday morning, among tbe passengers, on one of the south-bound East Tenues see trains that stopped at East Roma to take breakfast, were a Bostonian his wife and children, and a colored nurse.
