tfketihes.
Accompanied I y the ever-brisk and valor
ous Sergeant Du*, we reach the, establish
ment of Mr. M ceremsey, on the west side of
Seventh street; it presents but a darkling
aspect outside, but within, to our surprise, it
turns out to be full of people, male and female.
,Just within the doorway, which he partially
bars'with an arm, the broad inside of which',
below the elbow, is quite an Illustrated Jour
nal of India-ink prints, stands a short, stout
turningtoward.s the street anartiliciaUy
placid countenance, belied by a watchful blue
eye. The Sergeant rallies him on being for
ever about to leave with the ship's company'
and never doing it. The guests inside are o
mathematically adjusted to the accommoda
tions, that three or four have to be kept stand
ing to accommodate the caprice , of, one hulk
ing sweaty brute viho lies on a bench. [We
use the word hulking on the authority of our
companion, without - knowing exactly what it
means; and should like to be shown a person
who did actually or actively hulk, to catch an
idea of what it is.]
"Every one of 'em thieves." says the calm
and not disapproving officer, in our ear.
• It has been noticeable, at most of the street
corners approached by us, that groups of lads
and young men, of three to six or eight, have
quietly melted- and_ dissolved _ away at our
coining. Without anything overtly suspicious
about them, and engaged in the graceful avoca
tion which on the boulevards is calledjitinerie,
they subside under the eye of Sergeant, like
'Modesty surprised by Fame. " Those are
scrubbing-brush thieves," we learn; and the
lay of a scrubbing-brush thief is to slip into
back-yards full'of drying linen, make Off with
everything portable, to the child'S baby= cart
and the cackling goodwife's night-cap,--dump
the lot on the counter of the receiver,—obtain
a twentieth part of the goods' value,—and
enjoy a single drunken orgie on the profit.
It - constantly strikes us that the profession
of the cracksman,of all discoverable avocations
beneath al e mails the least remunerative in pro
portion to the talent invested. A thief, to do
• any business at ail, must be a rather favored
child of nature, must have each of his five
senses keen and true, must be inventive, im
aginative and active. For all he does, he gets
the most grovelingly low price; a tenth of the
value of his commodities is for this producer
a wonderful chance. To earn anything worth
consideration, therefore, he must very con
stantly repeat his operations. -This extends,
in geometrical ratio, the chance of detection
, ind_canture Theilg)lan t • nd_of_the_law
is sure to ; each arrest blackens•the thief's
professional repute in an additional degree,
and forms an increasing ratio of penalties for
crimes that do not increase in gravity. On the
earning side of the thief's account he is far
worse rewardedithan any other sort of brain
and band worker ; on the paying side, his loss
becomes more and more hopeless.
A group of these characters is found simmer•
ing in the hot gaslight in the square bench
lined retreat of Mr. McOremsey. Alternating
with the low-browed men and youths u are
women, or what have been these gracious
things. The sergeant's brilliant eye roving
round the human parallelogram picks out
each as an acquaintance, and distinguishes
each by name. The men are sullen and rather
defiant, except the proprietor and his bar
tender, who advance with an air' of doing the
hospitalities of the place. The women invari
ably curtsey when spoken to, and reply to the
sergeant With a gallant and rallying air, the
last expiring flicker of the parlor badinage
which belongs to women.
A tall well-formed woman, with a stature
like alight-house-and a -head of hair like _its
lantern, is pointed out as a particularly violent
character. tier name is given as
Crrlss."
Her significant last name is " Lathers." She
is the Cora Pearl of the society in which she
moves, and is full of lively repartees and
piercing sallies. As we pass out from the
place, the thick brown arm of the apparently
sleeping ruffian is observed to pass stealingly
around her waist to her pocket, in which there
is a filthy handkerchief edged with lace
Wiping his face with this hideous mop, the
fellow noiselessly restores it, with the facility
of a pickpocket, and seems to sleep again.
Every . one -of these creatures is knoWn tti
the policeman, yet he does not molest or
threaten them. Why'? The prisons are full,
the station-houses wanted for other uses, lthe
house of correction not yet built. Our capital
ninety days' law is useless under these circum
stances.
The experienced officer reserves his prowess
for another class of subjects. Any stranger, of
the well-known abject and prowling variety.
is sent about his business in light marching
order, although not, ostensibly sinning against,
the public peace. When we next pass Mc-
Cremsey's, a matted mass of humanity iscoiled
up on his cellar-door. Even in the dark con
fusion, one figure is picked out by thd vigilant
eye of the law as a stranger. Roughly stirred
op by the legal boot, the figure rises, first care
ftdly and tenderly depositing a little kitten,
which yawns anti stretches on the warm pave
ment, erecting its slender tail and claWing
with its small briery feet. The playmate of
the kitten rises into a tower of youthful
strength, slouching and sullen, add crowned
with a fighting mug, of torehead villainou
-IoW. He explains 'himself. He has a ren
dezvous with the erst-sleeping rogue, who.
has gone off on an " arrand" with " Cl'riss;"
he is only waiting the return.
" Now you leave," says the sergeant, in a
low decided voice; adding sarcastically,
" You're only catching trottin'-buggies there,
and we wish to save the breed for our dis
trict." He then develops with surprising
activity, as the rough mutters some impudent
reply ; swings hun oil a great distance by tlic
collar; catches at a package in his breast
pocket,which turns out to be a portable novel
of the kind not usually advertised in the col
nuns of the respectable press ; and stand
watching the young and powerful figure g(
cringing oil into the darkness.
—A correspondent of Nature (a Loudon
paper) notices a remarkable instance of cumn.
tricity in the choice of a place for their nes;
by a pair of tom-tits: " In a quiet street in
one of the southern suburbs there_ is now a
pair of tom-tits who have taken possession of
a cast-iron lamppillar, wherein they Lave

- NOMINATION CONFIRMED.-1: 13 Republican
city Executive Committee, at a meeting held
last evening, confirmed the nomination of
James.Bain for City Commissioner. -It will
be remembered that in the Convention the
contest narrowed to Bain and G. W. Shultz.
The - last ballot was taken between one and
two o'clock in the morning. At its close the
delegates rushed from the room, and there
was so much confusion that the President of
the Convention had no opportunity of an
nouncing the result. It was generally under
stood at the time that Bain had received a
majority of the votes cast, but the action of
the Executive Committee was necessary to
settle the matter.
ROBBERY AND ARDEST.—Emma Curtis
aged sixteen years, who is indentured to Mrs.
Alary,A.Koseritz, residing at No. 842 North
Eleventh street, arose at an early hour this
morning, and packed up several dresses and
various articles of linen and jewelry. She
then turned on several of the gasburners in
the house and left with her bundle. The odor
of the escaping gas pervaded the house and
aroused some of the inmates. The robbery
and flight of Emma was then discovered. The
Eighth District Police was then notified, and
Lieutenant Steinaner despatched two officers
to look after the thief. They found her in St.
Mary street. above Sixth, and also recovered
the stolen property. The girl was sent - to
prison by Alderman Massey.

Making' Ice by Steam.
It is well known that on the tops of very
high mountains it is very difficult to cook eggs
anti potatoes in the ordinary way. The artiole
may be tumbled about in the boiling liquid
during the legitimate "three minutes," but at
the end of that time the eggs will be far from
"done." A much longer time must bejallo wed,
and even then the eggs will not be very
hard. If, now, in order to discover the cause
of all this, we examine the water with a ther
-I.lloMeter, we will find that it is boiling, or in
other words it is passing off into steam, at a
temperature far below 212 degrees. The cause
of this is, at these great elevations the pressure
of the atmosphere is much less than in the
lower regions. But this diminished pres
sure we can produce by means of the air
pump, and when we do so the water gives off
steam very rapidly and becomes very cold,
but it does not freeze ; for as soon as the air
has been all removed from the glass vessel or
receiver of the air-pump, the vapor of water
rises and fills it, the process is brought to a
(lose, and we cannot, as a general thing, re
move the watery vapor with sufficient rapidity
by means of the pump alone. But it happens
'fiat some substances, such as very dry oat
meal, and particularly oil of vitriol, have such
a powerful attraction for water that they re
move it very rapidly from any confined atmo
sphere in which they may be placed. Indeed,
oil of vitriol, or, as it is called by chemists,
,ulphuric acid, has such a powerful
attraction, for watery vapor that it con
denses it, combines with it, and be
;•onies very hot. So powerful is this
affinity, that if we take a jar of cold acid and
:in equal jar of ice cold water and mix them
ogether, they will become boiling hot. lf,
eow, we place some of thiS acid in the re
r•eiver along with the water, as fast as the va;
por of water rises it will be absorbed by the
icid and the water will eoOtinue to gite oil
resh vapor until its temperature has been re
duced•beforet he vaporing point. This point.
is never reached, however, until the water
has been frozen. In this way it is easy to
;mike ice in a warmlecture-room,and this we.
he method after which Leslie, the inventor of
;he air-pump which bears his name, propose;
io manufacture ice for sale. But the proces
is too difficult and too imperfect to allow o
its being used for anything but au experi
went.
"
Liquid carbonic acid, although it is capa
,le of producing such low temperature, is not
ivailable for practical purposes, and conse
quently other liquids have been resorted to,
uch as ether, ammonia, and some of the pro
tucts derived from the distillation of par°-
, um. When these liquids are employed au
dr-pump is always used, and of course on th..
arge scale a steam-engine is used to drive the
.ir-pump. The process is as follows:—The
water to be frozen having been placed in ves
els made .1 sheet-metal, so that the hem
may be rapidly conducted away, these
vessels are surrounded with the freezing
liquid, which may be ether, ammonia,
cryogene, or any other available fluid.
The- apparatus is so arranged that whiitli
the mouths of the freezing boxes are open to
' the air, the liquid that surrounds their outer
surfatie is contained in an air-tight receiver,and
from this' receiver .the air' and vapor aro' ex•
litinAted 1.15 Y Means of at - air-purnp..._.:_ The
evaporation of the liquid soon lowers the tem
perature so far that the water.freezes, and ice
is thus produced. To twevent any loss of the
freezing liquid, the apparatus is so arranged
that the same pump - that ekhatiiits oil one
side condenses on the other. The \''apor of the
liquid is therefore powerfUlly compressetLand
reconverted into a liquid which, after - Odng
cooled, is again passed into the refrigerator to
he used over again. We say, after it has been
. cooled ; for, after compression to the liquid
feint- it is very hot. And thus the steam
engine goes on with its .ceaseless pulse, trans
leering the heat from one side of the machine
to the other; taking it from the water in the
interceptible condition of latent heat con
ecd in a bebtle yapor, and reproducipg, it on

ift= A Lucky Looking-Glans:
The Detroit Free Press says that a few min
fites past one o'clock Wednesday morning, a
gentleman living in the western, part of the
city was awakened by his wife,who whispered
in his ear that she had seen a burglar in the
bed-room door from the sitting-room. The
window of the bed-room looks out upon a
back yard, being . on the ground floor. There
was a lamp burning in a sitting-room just out
from the bed-room door, turned partly down.
The light from the lamp streamed in a narrow
ray until it rested directly upon a large mirror
which hung on the wall, about four feet from
the foot of the•bed. The light from without
erne in from a broken pane until it also
rested upon theglass. When the wife whis
pered to the husband she told him she could
see a man's face in the glass. While the hus
band doubted, she exclaimed: " There, he is
moving back I There, I see him looking in
gain !" •
The man turned over until he could see the
door, and there was no one there.' ..gis re
volver was lying handy on the stand, and he
picked it up, whistling softly for the little house
dog, which came in from the kitchen, just be
yond the sitting room. As the dog came in
the husband insisted that everything was right,
or the dog would have given the alarm. In
• less than a minute after the wite saw the face
of a man in the glass again, and became so
terrified that she rose up in bed, and the hus
band sprang out and started into the sitting
room. As he _reached the lamp and turned it
up to a full blaze, the woman screamed in
affright, and the man beard a noise in the
the kitchen that caused him to push the door
wide open, which crashed against a > chair.
Seeing that the room was empty, he turned to
the bed room, where the womariwas shouting
that a man was rushing across the back yard.
Springing to the window, revolver in hand,
the gentleman made an effort to lower the top
sash, held up by a stick, but he got it down
just in time to see a form swing over the fence
with a noise that set all the dogs to barking
for a block around, and woke up the sleeping
inmates of the houses on each side.
The wife says that when her husband
turned on the light she saw a mart_ come into
full view in the glass. -She saw the form of
his face, how he wore his whiskers, the kind
of bat be had on, the color of his clothes, and
she saw him looking and listening just as one
would if alarmed. When the kitchen door
banged back, the man, satisfied that some one
was up, started on the run, his form being
visible in the glass until he had passed a cer
tain distance, when it grew so small that it
faded away. Now the most curious fact of the
incident is, that the would-be burglar - did - not
get into the house at all, but was atthe time
standing close to a kitchen window that is at
an-angle-with--the-window of the_bethroom.
Be bad probably just gained his position,
when some movement of his alarmed the
wife. The light striking the glass caused it to
reflect objects from without.
The 'White Pine News gives this interesting
description of a monster discovered in Nevada .
" About one hundred miles to the southeast
of Hamilton is a high plateau of land contain
ing an extensive deposit of marine shells and
the fossil remains of a large variety of extinct
species of fish. But the curiosity which most
challenges the interest and investigation of
antiquaries is the petrified form of what was
evidently" once an immense sea-monster. It
lies on the high plateau in a position giving
rise to the theory that its locale was once a
great shoal and that the antediluvian leviathan
floundered - and perished on its, surface as the
water receded. The_ petrifaction is perfect,
and is estimated to weigh about ten tons. It
presents a dual appearance—the head and
body that of a humpback whale, and the ex
tremities exteratinto feelers'and =demr, like
the polypus or devil fish, with the exception
that they were evidently during life lined
with a bard and bony substance. The eyes are
set in each side of the head, which is fiat and
oblong, and are twenty-four inches apart. The
mouth is armed with triple rows of teeth,
sharp in-front, but underneath and well into
the jaw they turn into grinders, capped by a
solid osseous formation, running back from the
widest portion of the head. In this respect it
resembles the celebrated marsh cow of Central
America, amphibious in babit—gramniverou_s
on land and carniverous in water.
" The length of this singular relic of an un
known age has not yet been determined: but
as the body blends into the tail, it tapers down
to so small a size that, making due allowance,
its entire weight would not - be far from that
stated. This inland country abounds in curious
fossils of a marine character. We have seen
specimens of crustacm found in our immediate
vicinity which puzzled scientists and antiqua
ries."

To whom It may concern
AU the leading medical authorities recognize the value
of diffusive stimulants. Numerous eminent physicians
hnd surgeons might be named who have advocated their
employment in the treatment of a large class of dis
orders. N o Dispensary is considered complete without

The pungent aroma of the fusel oil and biting acids
present in all of them can be scented as 'the 'glass is
raised to the lips. The nauseous flavor of these active
poisons is perceptible to the palate, and a burning sen
sation in the stomach attests their existence when the
noxious draught has gone down. Paralysis, idiocy, in
sanity and death are the pernicious fruits of such pota
tions.
Medical science asks for a pure stimulant to use as a
specific, whioh, while it diffuses itself through the sys
tem more rapidly than any other known agent, is
brought into direct and active contact with the seat of
disease. It is the Property of the stimulant to diffuse
