devils. The musicians went after the cluvcn |

creating racket sufficient, as far a. an in /
experienced outsider can judge, TO raise the /
biggest devil 10 the city. We understand |
that the eXorcisJic ceremonies will continue |
for five days aud nights, the whule closing /
with the burning up Of The various bamhoo
hgures that ornament the temple where the
'ervices are con niueted. Il would app ar
that the Sacramento Cinnamon are more
successful In their contests with the chief of
the lower regions and his myrmidnnS than
their brethren of San Francisco While in
quiring at the temple concerning The N, site |
rites last evening, we met two San Fan
cI,co Crlestials who informed US hat they /
had come up to zee how the affair was /
managed here. One of them ked that /
