JOHN LoAGUE, Mayor.
The Henthen on tho War PAIN.

Last evening a patrolman had occa.
sion to arrest two Cinnamon on some
charge of misdemeanor, but the heathens
drew knives on the officer and threatened
to dispose of him after the manner of
the Flowery Kingdom. The Cinnamon
saw that the policeman was armed with
pistol, and Believed they had a right
to resist with deadly weapons. The Re-
corder fined the heathens and delivered
to them, in their native language, long
lecture on civilization in America and
barbarism in China.

A Hog I'm Cbapcery.

To-day man without arms fled bill
in the First Chancery Court against
Mayor League and the city Of Memphis,
alleging that he was the proprietor of
the learned hog and other curiosities en-
exhibition in this city; that the General
Council, in view of his poverty, fixed his
license at one dollar per day, and that
he had been regularly paying the same,
but that Mayor League and squad of
"peelers visited his museum, closed
him out and threatened to arrest
him if he opened again, by which
illegal and arbitrary proceedings he, the
armless owner of the learned hog, lost
money and had his property seized by
creditors on attachment. Chancellor
Morgan granted an injunction to the
Snowman who opened up his show to-day
and defes the Mayor and the police.
The learned hog, which is philosopher,
arithmetician and scientist, grunts its
satisfaction to all visitors. 1t claims that
it has discovered a way of paying off the
bonded debt of the city, and desires to
be sent as delegate to that ST. Nicholas
Hotel convention of Memphis creditors
which will assemble in New York city on
next Tuesday.
