A Knock-Down Argument.
Two Attorneys ON their Muscle.

When the Halpin case was opened before
the Second District Court it became evident
very soon that the feelings on either side
were SO stormy that they would get the better
of reason, and that the partisans might come
to blows; but it was not supposed those quiet
professional gentlemen, the attorneys, would
let the discussion carry them beyond the
bounds of propriety.
Yesterday, however, it appears climax
was reached, and when one of the lawyers
made side remark, to which the other took
exceptions, there was something of scrim-
mage.
Both gentlemen are well advanced in years,
but gave evidence that there was some muscle
left Selling a large inkstand the eldest
drew it back and delivered telling blow on
the others head, bespattering himself, how
ever, in variegated map of the West India
Islands with the ink. The blow knocked his
opponent down and the victor seized him by
the throat and was proceeding to choke the
fallen lawyer little too vigorously, when the
officers interferred and separated them. The
affair produced considerable excitement about
the old Court Building, putting to blush the
old affair, when somebody struck Mr.. William
Patterson.

Of the good men of that city. who have
uniformly protested against the persecu-
ton of these foreigners as barbarous, q
shame and disgrace to community pro-
fessing to be Christian. and as certain to
great city Of the Pacific. Whatever the
causes of the change for the better may
be, the effect is very encouraging to Chi
nese immigration. 1t is now pouring in
at an unprecedented rate. Ships and
steamers from China are bringing in from
400 to 900 every trip, according to accom-
modations, which are taken. Reports
indicate that the arrivals will greatly in
crease heneeforth, and reach q very high
figure in 1875. The whole number OF
Chinese who have come to this country
since 1862 is put at $4,000. We hope to
sec this doubled in the next few years,
and it will be if these people are treated
with half the kindness and liberation

How n Chicago Girl Got Her "Feller'
Out of the Army.

Last April, fine.looking dry goods
clerk employed in Mandel Bros, in an
hour of dependency, enlisted In the
army. He was engaged to be married
to handsome young lady of eighteen,
and when she heard of it her distress
can only be imagined, for a common
soldier she could not wed. His father,
who, by the way, is Methodist min
lister, did everything in his power to
have him released, but without effect.
The young lady then took the matter
in hand. She saw General Logan and
Congressman Farwell, and with their
signatures to petition for discharge
she forwarded 1t to Washington. In
due time the answer came saying the
prayer could not be granted. The
gentlemen informed her that when they
went to Washington in December they
would make another effort. Learning
that General Belknap, Secretary Of
War, was in the city, she got a letter
of introduction to him. She determined
to call on General Belknap at the Grand
Pacific Hotel, few afternoons ago.
He granted her an audience, heard her
story, Satisfied himself the man would
make her a good husband, and wrot
out a discharge. When she asked the
General how she could repay him, he
gallantly replied. with kiss, which
she gave him. That evenings mail
carried the important paper to the Iu-
dian Territorj. The father, who is
better off in this worlds goods than
most people who follow his calling,
has promised to set his son up In
business, snd is very proud of his
