PERSECUTION or TIE HEArHEE.-The persistent
persecution Of the inofensive heather by vicious
youths of this city is barbarian of civilization that
should longer be tolerated. Scarcely day elapses
that some Celestial is not matreated by boys Whose
prejudice against the has been fostered and en-
couraged by cowardly adults who dare not come to
the front and share the responsibility with their tools
There should be more arrests and more exemplary
sentences. AbOut7 o'clock this morning several ruff
fans in embryo, ranging from ton to sixteen years of
age, whied away half hour at the corner of San
and Commercial streets in the pleasant pastme
Of throWing rOttOn eggs and garbage at mark, the
same being Celestial. When John demonstrated
against the outrage with his basket pole, his perse
cutors resOrted to the use of cobblesOnes and like
missiles and forced him to eaptulate. One of the fly
ing cobbles lodged in the back part of the heathens
head and laid him senseless. The unfortunate VIC
tim of Caucasian barbarity finally staggered away
with fearful wound, and the author OF the mischief
sneaked of in different direction. The punctuAl
policeman arrived on the scene after the neighbor
hood had become SERENE and anxiously looked about
for chance Ia make an arrest. Of course arrest
was made.-Bitlietin, Aug 20.

first called to fill post under the government of the
Pontif OF liberal principles and friend of nation
al unity he could not remain long in the service of
the party which is in antagonism with both. His
ability is acknowledged and it is wholly devoted to
the public cause. There is no deputy who is
rarely absent from his place in the Chamber and he
gives example of diligence to the of delin
quen members who hold their seats sterile honors
Of place more than from q conscientious regard to
their duties legislators. Minghet, at the age of
6fty-fve is in the full vigor of his powers. He is
great smoker, and is never without cigar in his
mouth, except when asleep or in his place in the
Chamber In his person he is rather inclined to the
English style, with sandy or blondish complexion,
and Whiskers slightly spri:kled with gray. The &C.
tivy of his talents is shown by his acceptance of the
charge of the Department of Finance in the failure
for the moment to find to assume those duties
He is free and easy speaker, and of sufficiently cool
blood rot to be easily embarrassed put off his
guard-Rome Corr. N. y. Times.
