assistants. attends 10 business. in the
front room the bundles Of clothing are
opened out and sorted-shirts together,
socks together, etc. These articles are
tied together with strings, and TO the
bundle is attached piece OF linen upon
which is written some tea canister char
acters, indicating the Aumber Of arti'
cles and 10 whom they belong. Old
SingLee has a brown paper book open
before him; near by is china cup con-
tanning diluted India ink, into which
the pig tailed patriarch occasionally
dips hair pencil with which he paints
the characters in the book like unto
those on the piece Of linen attached to
the clothes. He commences at the top OF
the page and writes down to the bottom,
then commences above again and pro-
ceeds downward as before. The brush
is used dexterously, the old gentleman
evidently being an artist or hair pencil
singer most artistic. Cards were scat
tered about, and on these were printed
the prices: Wash shirts and make
them like new, l2l cents; any shirt like
new, 10 cents; drawers, 10 cents; socks,
8 cents; collars, cents; handkerchiefs,
cents; ladies clothes, $3.50 per dozen"
Around the room we're hung up Chinese
fans, all imported from the Celestial and
Flowery Kingdom. These were for sale,
and many of them had ivory handles
and we're curiously adorned and painted.
In another room irons we're found on a
d-hot stove, and all around were papers
of starch, wash.boards, and other articles
known to the mysteries Of the wash day.
In this room was located the Joss" or
divinity of the Chinese, little carved
image of the god, hung on a nail by a
string, and each Chinamah reverentially
bowed his cue.crowned head as he passed
the idol, which represented religion
established by Confucius, renowned
philosopher and demi-god who lived in
China FIVE hundred years before the times
of Christ. The Chinese laundrymen do
up clothes in tip.top style, and can come
as near making a new shirt out of an old
one as any resident living on earth. AS
washers and ironers they are superb, and
in this line of business easily get away
with their Caucasian brother or sister.
When you enter or leave their dwelling,
their smile SO child-like and bland

The Coming Exposition .

The Exposition Board held a meeting
last evening to receive reports of COM
mittees and transact other business.
The superintendent reported having re-
ceived great many applications for
space, and the indications are that
every inch of space will be occupied at
the opening. The new addition to
the building is completed, and some of
the exhibitors are already at work ar
ranging for their display. The grand
pedestrian, the most wonderful musical
instrument ever constructed, is on the
road, and will furnish music equal to a
full brass band of thirty performers at
the opening of the Exposition. The
Board of Directors have performed their
part of the work faithfully-the building
has been improved and beautiGed since
last year, and is now ready for the re-
ception of goods, and it is the duty OF
our mechanics, merchants and manufac-
turers to go to work in earnest and
make our Exposition equal in point of
merit 10 any in the country. Twenty
thousand visitors came to Memphis to
see the Exposition last year; fifty thou
sand should be induced to come this
year and aid the glory and prosperity of
our city.

THE WOMAN IN WHITE.

II. white, Hound over and Locked

Sarah l.. white, the wife OF Jam es
u. white, Bound over and Locked
Up.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Sarah l..
White was brought out on writ of habeas
corpus before Judge Ray so that her de-
tention and imprisonment in the county
Jail could be inquired into. The testi-
mony introduced went to show that Mrs.
White aided in the escape of the priso-
ner, j. 4. White, from the county Jail by
crying out, run, Captain White, run!"
throwing her arms around the turnkey as
the gallant Captain, with pistol in hand
emerged from the Jail and walked out
to his gallant steed, Black Bess, which
he mounted and then rode off victo-
riously. The crime for which Mrs. White
is imprisoned is punishable with impris-
eminent in the penitentiary for ten years.
That Mrs. White was guilty Of the ofense
few will deny, and the proof was so clear
that Judge Ray felt it his duty to place
the defendant or petitioner under $4,000
joint and several bond; but owing to the
lateness of the hour at which the inves-
tigation closed last evening, No bond was
given and Mrs. White was sent back to
Jail. The escape of White will teach the
Jail officials lesson which will not soon
be forgotten. Whatever sympathy may
be felt for the devotion of the wife to her
erring husband, the repetition Of the
grave offense must be guarded against
in the future.
The relatives and friends of Mrs.
White arrived in the city this morning,
and have made arrangements to give
the necessary bail bonds to- Sheriff Doyle
this afternoon, whereupon she will be
discharged from custody and the case
transferred to the Criminal Court Grand
Jury, which will assemble next week.
