CELESTIAL JEALOUSY.

Until quite recently All Ben and Lee Too have
lived in soapy quietude within the Clearly pre-.
cincts Of an uptown laundry The only thing that
ever occurred to ripple the celestial quietude OF
their bald-headed lives was q Jealousy regarding
the quality OF the ironing which each was capable
OF doing An Ben claimed that the DOs0ms OF the
shirts which passed through his hands were in
every way superior to those over which Lee Too
Hourlsned his smoothing iron. This was denied
by Lee Too, who maintained that he could polish
shirt fronts with any Chinaman in "Melica.n One
day last week shirt was returned from one Of
the patrons of the laundry with the remark mot
fit TO wear" the Superintendent Of the laundry,
who Is known to the Cinnamon as s'muche b0sse,"
said the shirts had been lr0ned by Lee Too, and
the pigtailed wasnman got 'muche bowe up"
When the superintendent had finished, All Ben
Too paid no attention TO the gibes and taunts OF
his hatred rival, but, finally, the virtue of patience
sourht redress in an affair OF pitfalls.
He clutcned the flowing tail of Ben and swung
him around the room with iusty WIN. While
shoes got loose and one OF them alighted on
Bridget Manqun's nose, completely destroying
velocity Too found great difficulty in holding his
feet, ana in an uniucky moment, having lost his
corner OF the floor. Here a wrangle occurred,
which resulted IN an advantage to Ben, who took
hold OF To9's pgsa ana dragged him around rom the
Manquin included. .'Muche bOsse" arrived,
stopped the row and told Ben some things about
the law. Acting ON the information received Ben
went TO court and had TOO arrested.
Yesterday they appeared at Special Sessions.
but no one could interpret for them. Ben had
friend, who consented to act as interpreter and
as soon as he was accepted TOO thought IL was
his DUTY to furnish an interpreter also. Cranlng
his neck over the railing behind which he was
confined he jaboeEed some gl6berish. and pres:
emily an almOn.eyed, sunken checked friend
emerged from the crowd In the body OF the court
and ambed up TO the witness stand. on which
Ben was seated. The case was going on, Ben's
friend doing the Interpretation business,
when Too and his friend began TO
chatter loud enough to disturb the Court. An
inquiry into the cause OF their eloquence deve-
Oped the fact that Ben's friend was not interpret
ing properly. The noise of the DEBATE woke up
the interpreter, who sleeps during court hours,
and he IN an excited way thus addressed Too
"Aaoen sea der mann geechlaght2" ''Me no KIN
sable much" ana the astonished interpreter
looked up at the judges. who were enjoying the
joke. An hour was lost in trying to find out which
of the two Chiuamen could iron best. and on gen.
erai principles Lee Too was fined $40 and the case
brought to close.

To the Union and American:
CEDAR Hill, Aug. p, 1S75.-Great
good is still being accomplished at the
camp-meeting. This morning Rev. Mr..
HinsOn preached at o'clock. His discourse
was interesting and full ofreligion, and had
splendid effect on the congregation.
At II o'clock DR.. Wilson, President of
the Warren Female College, at Bowling
Green, KY, preached from I'd Corinthians,
9Th chapter, and from the LIST 10 the 9th
verses, his subject touching on the expecta-
ton of Immortality Of the soul, and Of the
general judgment.
DR.. Wilson is au able preacher and edu-
Gator, and has built up several of the finest
female colleges ever in the South. He
professed religion at Pope's camp ground,
in williamson county, a great many years
ago, and he informed your reporter that he
will always love Williamson county, and
the old camp ground particularly.
Ats p. NJ Rev. J. Z iPlummer, of Clarks-
vile preached a sermon from the 10Th
verse Of the 9th chapter Of Mathew. The
camp-meeting will break up in the morn
ing. It has done great good, not only for
the sinners but Tor the church, which has
been greatly revived by it. In this con-
nectiOn 1 might speak specially OF Cedar
Hill Church. 1t was for four years under
charge Of Rev. John I. Duncan, who was
an assiduOus labOrer for the cause Of the
church, and did great good for the people
in that section. He was followed in his
ministerial work by Rev. w. \. Turner,
who is as good a worker as bis predecessor,
and il now has the largest membership Of
any country church in the Tennessee Con-
ference. Its membership numbers two
hundred and seventy persons.
Rev. A. S. Mcbride, of South Clarks-
vile, arrived at the camp-ground yesterday
evening. II is thought that nearly four
thousand people have been on the ground
each day since Tuesday, and the good be-
havior of the crowd is highly commended
and spoken Of by everybody. ENoLAM.
