same time.

STEPHEN MAssETT's FAREWELL
An appreciative audiance assembled
last night at the MERGED Theater to
hear "Jeems Pipes in his specialites
of recitations, songs and comicalities,
and the applause he received was en-
thusiastic and we'll merited. His imi-
tation of Madam Bishop caused great
merriment, and his beautiful little
ballad of "Sunset," as usual, was
greatly liked. Mr.. Massett leaves, we
believe, for Santa Barbara tomorrow.

The Thirty Fights were out for
practice last night. The steamer was
stationed on Spring street, near the
HERALD office, where the boys at
tached the suction pipe to the hydrant

of Masonic Hail. and other fireman
like demonstrations made to get the
boys hands in. After throwing water
most effectively into vacancy for

their machine off, well satisfied with
the results of the evening.
The case of the People VS.. All Kong
and Tung ST, on trial for murder, now
progressing in the District Court, is
eliciting much interest from our Celes-
tial citizens. All Kong is reputed to
be the wealthiest Chinaman in Los
Angeles, and worth in round numbers
twenty thousand dollars. With the
guileless heather as well as with all
the rest Of the world, "money makes
the mare go,u and there seems to be
an effort on the part of the Cinnamon
to clear the wealthy All Kong, while
Tung ST is left entirely out in the cold
to hang or go to prison at the mercy of
the Court. The evidence was con-
cluded yesterday, and the lawyers pro-
ceeded to argue the case before the
jury. A verdict will probably be ren.
dered to-day.
Weclip the following from the Santa
Barbara Press. The article speaks as
we'll for the hearts as for the hands OF
the professors of legerdemain: The
entertainment Of the Lewis Brothers
( at Lobero's Theater last evening was
we'll attended and pronounced great
success by all present. The dexterity
with which the sleight-of-h tricks
were done, and the seeming natural
ness of the optical illusions, while as
tonishing to the audience, were at the
sa,na tip1a nroOfs Of tho skill of the
