A few years since. James Malone. Es-
quire, mayor of Cork, imagining that 1t he
could strip the beggars Of the miserable
and sickly appearance they generally y
made, he should divest them of the strong
est claim to the charity of the humane
came to the following agreement with one
Geoghegant, one of his constables, who
was by trade barber, viz. He directed
the barber to seize all the beggars he


found stroling within the limits of the ci.
Itv. for each of whom he promised a re-
ward; but instead of bringing them before
him Uhe mayor)he was to take them to his


shop, and there shave, wash, dress, and
powder them in the genteelestmanner. He
seized about half dozen, and with the as
sistance ofrazors, wash-balls, scissors, and
powder puhs, he so completely metamor.
phosed them, that those whom he had ap.
Irehended as mpndicants, when they left
his shop, appeared like macaronies, al


least about the head. This laughable
scene was attended with such success, that


tie whole tribe, during Squire Malone's
lmayoraty, avoided his Jurisdiction az


carefully as if it was visited by pest
leuce.
