1. Constables who are required to interfere in a street-row must have fourteen days' notice before they can be expected on the spot of the disturbance. 2. Policemen will parade the streets from 12 A.M. to 4 P.M., but will make themselves scarce in the event of meeting a party procession, or noticing the holding of a public demonstration. 3. Hyde Park, Trafalgar Square, and all other fashionable trysting-places, shall be considered without the sphere of Police influence at times of political excitement. 4. Constables shall not congregate on land set apart for workmen's gatherings, except to organise strikes amongst themselves. 5. The labours of the Police shall not commence before sunrise, or continue after sunset; and it will be left to the sagacity of the Public to guard their own property during the hours that the Constables are off duty. 6. In the absence of the Civil Power, it will be considered contrary to professional etiquette for any respectable member of the criminal classes to carry on his unimpeded vocation. * * * * * [Illustration: THE WHITE ELEPHANT. PRESENT PROPRIETOR (_loq._). "SEE HERE, GOVERNOR! HE'S A LIKELY-LOOKING ANIMAL,--BUT _I_ CAN'T MANAGE HIM! IF _YOU_ WON'T TAKE HIM, I MUST LET HIM GO!!"] * * * * * THE GREAT UNKNOWN. [The Rev. Dr. SMYTHE PALMER, of Trinity College, Dublin, has just compiled a Book of Extracts, entitled _The Perfect Gentleman_.] A Gentleman must be liberal, not to say lavish, to servants, porters, gamekeepers, and others, or he is "no gent." At the same time the Perfect Gentleman is never extravagant. He must not work. At the same time he must not be an idler. He is known by his scrupulous attention to the minutiae of personal appearance, while "despising all outside show." The Perfect Gentleman "never wilfully hurts anybody." No soldier, doctor, or schoolmaster can, therefore, ever be a P.G. He is always perfectly open and frank. He is also sufficiently artful to conceal the fact that he considers the person he is talking to a mixture of a snob and a blockhead. When his favourite corn is trodden on by a weighty stranger, he never utters any expression stronger than "Dear me!" He never loses his temper. He must know how to treat everyone according to their rank and situation in life, but show special courtesy to those who are his inferiors. He must be well-born, although there are plenty of "Nature's Gentlemen" in the ranks of day-labourers. He must be sufficiently wealthy to keep up a good position, while recognising the fact that money has nothing to do with true gentility. He should also try and remember that no such jumble of contradictions as the Perfect Gentleman ever existed. * * * * * [Illustration: HIS BEST "SOOT."
