No more so than yours. When a man has the law on his aide, and attempts to arrest a criminal, there is not much danger. Criminals are very often cowards, especially oar Eastern thieves and burglars. Occa sionally a young and reckless thief will attempt to shoot, but sueh men are of thf lower order of criminals. Burglars, counterfeiters, forgers, and the like, take chances of being arrested as one of the chance* of their business. If you have the law oa your side, and go at them in a proper manner, youTl win every time. There is everything in going strong enough. If s detective is foolish enough to go single-handed into a thieves' resort, he's bound to have trouble, no matter who Die rrunmal la.

We ha<^ a ease of this kind in Baltimore at the tune of the robbery of the Third Nation- §1 Bank there. We wanted to watch, a house on Perry street, and we couldn't do it with our regular shadows. Ho we put a boy there. He was playing marbles when the man came out, and then gave the signnl which resulted in his capture. But Imys, ss a rule, are not safe. They are likely to become too important in their own eatimaDou, and they may talk. Home great criminals may be captured by means of shadows. The Northampton Bank robbers were shadowed months before the arrest of Hcott and Dunlap. Billy Connors was sna<lowed two months, and Bed Leary, before his last arrest, was shadowed nine by three different detectives. “The investigator,” continued Mr. Pinkerton, “ is the man who, after a crime has been committed, makes a preliminary investigation. He usually works with the local officers. He seldom pretends to work in secret. He looks the ground over, mingles with civilians, talks with every one, and forms his ooo- elusions. He must be a man of greater intelligence than is necessary to maks a good aha<low. Hs reports tbs results of his investigations, aad oa this repsrt la dscidsd tha oouras to bs pursued.

But a man with a lam ily cannot, in the uature of the eaae, be as good a detective, as daring, as ready to go anywhere at a moment'* notice as an unmarried man. But of conns a good many of them marry.” “ Are disguise* much used ?” “ Not nearly so often as the student of Gaborian would imagine. It's all nonsense, this talking of a man’s so dis guising himself by false whiskers, a wig and paint .that tie can pass unrecognised in daylight. He might not be recog nised, but he would surely be detected. The police will pounce on a man at once if they see him wear a false beard—aud it’s easy enough to tell a false beard- much easier than a wig, and they are easily detected. The shadows usually carry a soft cap or hah qt both, in their pockets to use in esse of necessity ; am sometimes in the night a beard can bs need, but not often. If the criminal has 4 dropped on ’ a shadow the beet plan is to put another man on him. As I saic in the start, there's very little romance or mystery about a detective’s life.” O. H.

It was at Ant sup posed that whisky was brought in by some one, bat finally it was discovered that a distillery was in full operation within the walls of the institution. An enterprising convict had rigged a “worm' in a secluded spot in the kitchen, and, with corn meal aud rye, was able to pro duce a liquor that would intoxicate who ever drank very much of it. The man did a Diriviug business, and when he wa* discovered he was making money at a rapid rate. “ Beer,” as it is called, is made even at this day. The beverage ia a brewing of bread crust and yeast and is exhilarating, if nothing more. The men in the kitchen maks it and sell it to the prisoner*.

TALKBBA. The art of conversing is not cultivated as much in these days a* it was by our father*. Men who can talk well also write well, and, as their writings have a pecuniary value, they reserve their good things for the public who paye for them. Mettemich mentions in his * 4 Memoir*” a fact which indirectly «ugge*i« what a good talker skonld be. He aays : 44 In my whple life I have only known ton or twelve persons with whom it was pleasant to speak—i. e., who keep to the subject, do not repeat themselves and do not talk of themselves ; men who do not listen to their own voices; who are cultivated enough not to lose themselves in commonplaces; and, lastly, who pos sess toot and good taste enough not to* elevate their own persons above their subjects.—YouiA’t Companion.
