ASSAULT on DKCrKCrIyK.-On Monday
evening Detective McDevItt, OF this city, was
engaged IN conversation with q friend, who
was standing on the steps of the Exchange
Hotel, In Richmond, Va, when he was secost-
ed by New York rough known in p. X. par
lance as "Butt" Riley. This individual was
loud IN his denunciations OF MeDevitt, who, he
claimed, had arrested opal" of his (Riiey's)
while the said 'paln was operating in this city.
The ohcer took occasion TO express 70 "Butt''
his opinion OF hin, telling the assembled crowd
what Riley's legitimate occupation was, and
closing by Informing Riley that he was to stop
ms abuse at once. Upon this Riley ad vanced
towards the officer in a threatening manner,
when Mr.. McDevitt promptly drew his revol.
yer, and ordered him to stand back, informing
him that he would not hesitate TO use his wea-
pom II he Riley would persist. AT sight of
me pistol Riley retired. vowing vengeance, and
threatening to arm himself and "finish" Nc
Dewitt before he left Richmond. As Mac ar
rived in town yesterday safe and sound, it is
evioent that Riley did not use the threatened
weapon. The opal" referred TO by this bruiser
WIS New York thief, arrested some time ago
by Officer Reid, of the Sixth Precinct, who
turned him over to Mr.. McDevitt, by whose
efforts ne was committed to jail for attempting
robbery at the wood and coal Office of Mr..

UNsUcCEssVUL.-Ana adjourned meeting of
the tonsorial fraternity Of Washington was
called for last night but at ten O'Clock only SIX
or eight members Of the profession appeared at
the place designated, when those present quietly
retired from the hall, announcing, as they did
ST., that they had wasted as much time over the
project which had been broached as they felt
justified in sacrificing. Mr.. Demongeot deiiy-
cred a few words in parting He said that the
effort made was simply TO establish uniform
rates of prices for shaving, (ffteen Cents) but
as the lourneymen BARRIERS did not seem 10
realize their situation, and the importance of
obtaining higher wages was of no interest To
them, he should feel indifferent here liter 10
what took place. For himself, however, he
gave notice that in few days he should do
something on his own responsibility, the devei-
opment Of which would show how far ne was
dependent upon the cooperation of his coll
leagues In business. Committeeman Parker,
when called upon as to the prevailing sent-
ment OF the BARRIERS of Washington, replied that
he could make no report himself, nor did he
think II probable any formal steps had been
taken TO Ascertain their sentiments, "a the last

Old Wines.

The Bordeaux papers give the following
particulars of the late sale of curious old
dry wines at Chateau Laffittc. When the
estate belonging to the late Count Ducha-
tel was sold, the heirs reserved to them
selves the right Of selling the wine in the
cellars. This has now been disposed of,
the purchaser paying five per cent, addi-
tional rs auction duty. The attendance
was exceedingly large, and comprised the
principal wine merchants, g0urnaets of
Franco, proprictors of the great Paris res
tlurants, agents from many members of
the aristocracy and finance of France and
other countries, and several foreign dealers.
The dates of the wines ranged from 1897
to 1864. and the competition was naturally
great, such collection never having be-
fore been offered for sale. The minimum
price was IF. the bottle for the growths of
1926 and 1868, and the highest 1917. for
that of 1911, the year of the comet. The
offer for the latter was 20f., followed by an
advance to 50f at a single id, and then by
10f. to 120f :, and finally to 12lf.
The wines of the years 1866 and 1867
still remain unsold, and are likely to be be-
yond the 10f. or 12f. vintage. Comets
agree with wine. The 1858 claret will be
historical, as it was of that vintage which
Thackery wrote, when staying in the wine
producing districts, "Shsll live to drink
of the wine of the comet!"

The Cigar Makers of Manila.

The younger girls take tobacco from the
vat, or a tub, in which it has been soaked,
and strip it from the stems, then toss it
into a pile, from whence it is taken by
another set of manipulators who sort it,
carefully laying aside all that is suitable
for wrappers of the various grades, and
putting that which is only fit for filling
into boxes half filed with with water satu-
rated with Saltpetre. Another set of oper-
ators carry the assorted tobacco into the
other rooms, where is is placed before the
cigar-makers. One set OF girls select the
filling and arrange it in proper order
another set trim the wrappers a third roll
the wrapper about the filling, while fourth
stand by with their fingers in a pot con-
tanning paste or mucilage manufactured
from plant which grows in luxuliancc on
the island, and at the proper time, with a
dexterous wipe, apply the gummy sub
stance to the edge of the leaf, and each
operator, by a peculiar twist of the wrist,
brings the edge down upon the cigar and
casts it into basket upon the opposite side
of the table. A fifth set of operatives take
the cigars from this basket and trim them,
III some instances cutting both ends, and
IN others only one. 4 sixth set count the
cigars into lunches of ten, tying them
with little strips of colorcd paper They
are then packed in boxes Of hundred each,
and conveyed to the government ware
house, from which, after they have attained
a certain age, they are sold. There are
eight or ten manufactures, and ain in
formed that there are between twenty and
twenty-five thousand women and girls en-
ploycd in this branch of trade, receiving
for their labor about seven cents per day.
The cigar makers are mostly young natives
some of them are really pretty, but the
majority are miscrably ugly and insuicra-
bly, dirty. While at work they are almost
nude. wearing only Il narrow brccch-cloth
about their hips; but at the close of the
day, after their work has been done, they
put on Il loose gown of highly -colored calico,
or Il white one, made from native grass
and saunter forth, looking as important as
if they were members of the aristocracy;
and in fact they arc. for all persons en-
ployed by the government take rank above
those in the same grade who are unfOrtu-
nate enough to be in business for them
selves, or have to labor for some private
citizen.
