where about his premises, inasnuch as fire had
been observed every day in an extra room, and
further, that the Howard family have seemed to
have on hand an abundance OF money, something
unusual they being quite poor people. Nothint.

A ''marriage in high life took place the
other day i'll Chinatown, 10 which the upper
ten of that locality were invited. All Tau,
the groom, is an old resident of San Francis
co, but Sol Keou is recent importation.
All Tau has had two wives, who treated
him badly lone deserving him and the other
squandering his money. His last bride he
purchased for $500, Of her venerable mother,
who intends to return TO her native land and
live IN ease and comfort all the rest of her
days en- the proceeds of her fortunate traffic.
Warned by the iniclicities of his former
marriages, All Tau resolved this time to be
bound by double knot, and accordingly
the services of justice of the peace were
called into requsition. After being united
according to the American law the happy
pair proceeded TO the joss House, on Du-
pont street, and there, before the idols, the
Chinese marriage was celebrated. After
burning number of sacred sticks before the
shrine, the groom offered the bride meat,
fruit, and vegetables, to signify thatshe was
dependent upon him for support, and that
he bound himself 10 maintain her. The
guardian beasts who stood in etligy before
the shrine were then appeased by presents
of the meat, and this concluded the ceremo
ny. A wedding breakfast, consisting O
Chinese dishes and several cases of cham
pagne followed. and the bride presented the
guests with several packages Of ten, dom
