*• Is a detective’s life particularly dan

' “ Not in the least. 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

tbs criminal, who may be watching from
the bouae for a chance to steal

when he sees that theca is no one
around except two or three boys play
ing marbles on the sidewalk. 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

“ Do detectives marry *”
“ Sometime*. 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.”

Tbs prevalence of drunkenness in tbs
State prison at Auburn puttied the offi
cers tor a long time. 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*. At one time oounterfeit-
ing was actually carried on in the prison.

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.
