THREE WHITE SHIRTS.-Hah-O n ana HAN
Fill, pig tailed noblemen from China, showed
off to good advantage in the hen-coop Of the
first recorders court yesterday, for having
usurped an eminently American popularity
of embezzling property. Mr.. Leon Duiilho,
of Camp street, intrusted the Celestlals
with three shirts to wash and iron, on the
nineteenth instant. Since that time the
complainant has not been able to regain
possession of the three white shirts, and
now he files an affidavit against the China.
Receipts in Chinese Observation-Disclosures
ers-are fled with the affidavit. but our in
terpreter being abroad hunting eggs, we
are unable to make either free or literal
translation of the spider-hke scrawls. As
soon as Mandarin Ho-Ough-T Ton settles the
case, we will instantly telegraph to the
Mikado of the tiowery land to settle the
affairs of that great nation.
DO not fail to take an interest in the spe-
cial notice of Mr.. Hart, who wishes his in
terest paid before the first day OF next
month.
The prize ring is not quite played out, as
one of its devotees of the feminine Sort
was before Recorder Macarthur yesterday.
Mrs. Barney Williams, holding decided
dislike for H. Benjamin, struck at and into
him, both right and left, which he ungal-
lantly called an assault and battery. The
pugilist goes to the Criminal Court to an
swer for her wild demonstration. Barney,
the husband, was fined $40 as peace dis
turber Of Toulouse street. Barney was also
induced to pay another fine, SIS, for bad
conduct toward Mr.. Benjamin, and further
ordered to furnish peace bond.
FEArs ON Foor.-Few of our readers but
have heard or read of E. p. Weston, the
noted pedestrian, who has walked several
miles in little less than no time, and then
had some seconds to spare. This wonder
ful man has arrived in our city, and this
evening at five o'clock will give visitors to
the Fair Grounds an opportunity to witness
his extraordinary performances. He IN
tends to walk five miles inside an hour, the
last half mile with his face to the rear.
Students of anatomy are considerably IN
terested in Mr. Weston, as his body must be
made of something different from ordinary
men. In person he is of ordinary build,
rather ford face, small features and quite
quick spoken, but altogether pleasant IN
manner. Our citizens will probably never
have another opportunity to see him after
to-day. The charm that all things athletlc
possess adheres to his uncommon power 10
walk unusual distances in unusually short
space of time. Go and see him get over the
ground this evening.
