POLICE OF BERLIN.

How the German Capital Iβ Guarded

Against Lawbreakers.

Baron yon Richtoffen, President of the Berlin Police, combines in his person the .duties which in London are divided between the Chief Commissioner of Police and tho Board of Works. He not only looks after the safety and health of the public, but has under his surveillance the streets, markets and buildings. In relation to the Berlin municipality, which by its excellent financial manage ment has shown itself worthyof the consider able administrative economy which it en joys, the President of the Police exercises certain rights of control. He represents the state in its relations with the people in the first instance, and is the organ of the executive power. The municipality bears a large chare of the police expenditure; paying for the uni forms of the Schutzleute and providing the building in the various localities where they are stationed. The state provides the pay of the men. That of the fire-brigades comes out ot tho municipal funds, although the firemen, like the Schutzleuto, are under the orders of the President of Police.

The policemen are only employed during ♦•be daytime. At night the capital is con fided to the care of the watchmen, who wear a distinctive uniform, and are provided with a whistle and a saber. These men are on duty from 10 o'clock till 5 or 6 o'clock the next morning, the final hour varying ac cording to the season of the year. They number 500. The effective strength of the police is 3,500, of which number about fifty are mounted.

All the policemen are old subordinate officers of the army, and are of a certain standard height. They must have passed nine years in the army, and employment ia given only to those who have distinguished themselves by good conduct, zeal and assiduity. They are respected by and live on good terms "with the civil population, although their manner occasionally betrays their military training and is not exempt from brusquenesß. The Berliner submits by force of habit to the injunctions of the policeman, and on military parade days one constable is suffi cient to keep a large number of spectators in order.

The morale of the corps is good, because the men know that they are supported by both the public and the superior authority. The lattei' punishes all faults andnegligences on the part of the force, and protects it when it is in the right. -, In addition to this out-door police, which sees to the execution of laws and regulations and maintains order in the streets.there is a police o% safety, vviids'e" mission is to discover: the authors of crimes and misdemeanours, and to keep .strict watch over the dangerous ciaeses, so as to prevent as far as possible the perprebation of offences against person and property. The head of the Police of Safety is Count Puckler. The agents of safety wear ordin ary civil dress, and when they visit danger ous quarters carry a revolver. The latter privilege has recently been granted to them fn consequence of some serious encounters Vith armed criminals. The possession of a revolver is calculated to give the agent a greater degree of assur ance, but he is strictly forbidden to use the weapon except in the last extremity. The district agents are specially charged with the surveillance of dealers in old clothes, pawnbrokers and all suspected person having a fixed domicile. The town is divided for the purposes of this department of the force into eight districts, each of which is under the direction of a commissioner.

The division of labour, which is so marked a feature of the Berlin police force, ie carried down to the dangerous element*

London in the Reign of Henry 11.

Duedtg the reign of Henry 11. the com merce of the country recovered from the depressed condition into which it had previously fallen. From remote parts of the East, as well as from the Continent and from Ireland, trading vessels of foreign merchants brought articles of convenience and luxury to London. The wines of France, the furs of Normandy, the spices of Arabia were among the merchandise imported at this time into England, and were employed to minister to that taste for pomp and magnificence that prevailed in the Court of/Henry 11. London was already a populous city, noted for the wealth and tuxury of its citizens, and in this reign it first became generally recognised as the capital of the kingdom. In. the city $ud eubiube there were about thirteen

monasteries, and more than a hundred churches, with a mixed population of about 40,000 inhabitants. Industry and the arts were making rapid progress, and labourers and artificers of many different kinds were to be found in the city. Ludgate was at this time the western extremity of London, and where the Strand now pours east or west its stream of busy life, the ground was then divided into fields and orchards, which extended to Westminster. According to Fitzstephen, the biographer of Beckett, the citizens of London received the title of baron —a statement which, to say the least of it, is improbable, but there can be no doubt that their wealth and intelligence at this period placed them in a higher position than is generally supposed.

ROMANTIC ELOPEMENT TO LOCH LONG.

TWO ENGLISH LOVERS IN A

MOUNTAIN CAVE.

Thi , dwellers on the shores of Loch Long and ab the mouth of Loch Goil have lately found food for gossip in the interest, ing adventures of a young couple from England, who have just entered upon married life among the mountains of Argyle and Dumbarton. A' little over two months ago a young teacher of drawing in one of the art schools of a great Midland town resolved to make his escape from a matrimonial engagement into which he had entered by constraint. His parents were desirous that he should marry a lady whose attractions, boyond her dowry of £2,00(3 a-year, vrere not great. But the young man, whose father is a pastor, had fallen deeply in love with the daughter of hid principal in the art school. to have his own way he set off for Kent, where his inamorata was spending her holidays, and, having met her without the knowledge of her hosts, lie arranged the plan of campaign. Giving out to her Kent frienda the story that she was going home to the city of emallwsres, sho made oil in another direction, was joined by her c wain, and next day both were safely moored, in a little fishing village on Loch Long where the young art teacher had been in the habit in previous summers that of spending his holidays. He had fancied by the Scotch marriage law they could bo "spliced immediately on their. arrival; but the couple were considerably taken aback when they discovered that both parties would have to reside in Scotland three weeks before the marriage could be celebrated. Thereupon the swain took separate lodgings in the clachan for the young lady. Meanwhile the young lady's parents had observed the absence of the young gentleman, and had heard from Kent that their daughter had left suddenly for home. Instantly jumping to the right conclusion, the father, mother, and one of the youngf lady's brothers set off in pursuit. When they arrived at the fishing village on Loch Long the natives in the secret warned the runaways, who im mediately made for the hills. After dark they ferried from a well-known point to the Argyllshire coast, landing at a solitary hut near the mouth of the loch, which is celebrated in Campbell's ballad of "Lord Ullin's Daughter." The inhos pitable shepherd refused admission to the fugitives, and they had no other resource but to make their way up to the aide of the mountain which is known as " Argyll's Bowling Green," and spent the night in one of its caves. The hiding-place is within view of the clachan on the further shore, where the sympathetic natives managed to arrange things bo well that the parents were obliged to give up the chape. It is believed that a young gentleman resident in an old mansion on Loch Lotrgside hearing of the piteous plight of the young couple, carried provisions to the cave ; and it is reported that in thus acting as the good Samaritan he had a severe fall. When the three weeks were up the young adventurers were married at Green ock, and they have been spending their honeymoon at the fishing hamlet where they were so cordially befriended.

ST JACOBS OIL FOR Rheumatism.

RHEUMATIC SUFFERING FOR MANY YEARS—CURED AT SIXTY-EIGHT. " London, E.G. " Having suffered for many years past from severe rheumatic pains in my knees and feet, I was induced by a friend to try St Jacobs Oil. Hav ing tried many remodies without relief, I must confess 1 was some what slow in trying your 'great remedy. . However, about a month ago I procured a bottle and applied the oil to the parts affected. I must cay the result has astonished me. I am sixty-eight years of age, and, ' although I have used it only a few times, the pains have quite left me, and I am as strong and active on my feet at the present time as a young man of twenty. You can make what use you like of this letter, for I feel that I should not be doing my duty to my fellow men if I did not do my best to let them know where such a valuable remedy may be obtained. '' Ciiakles Davis, Of Messre Davis and Co., General Carriers and Forwarders."

A South Sea Islander named Laurence CurryV Who is of unsund mind, left the Lunatic Asylum this morning, and is sup posed to have gone in the direction of Auckland. He is dressed in asylum clothes, and the police will be pleased to be informed of his whereabouts. A telegram received by Inspector Shear man states that Fanny Brunton, wife of J. Brunton, settler, of Wainui, died suddenly yesterday. She was not attended by a doctor. Mr Thos. Leagh, J. P. 5 intended to have held an incjuest to-day, and Dr. Parkinson was expected to make a post mortem examination.
