He Tries to Get Up Match with a Heap Nell
can Woman.
The circumstances related in this
item are necessarily abridged, but. are
given as literally as is possible, and we.
Vouch lor their truth in all respects: A
married lady residing in the northeast
ern or southwestern part oil the city was
visited recently by ounger and mar
ried sister, from "a neighboring city. An
exceedingly aged but remarkably
surewd Chinaman has for two years
been accustomed to visit the house to
sell fruit aud vegetables.
While the sister was q guest 1T was
noticed that younger and very spruce
Monaghan males frequently accom-
panied the elder heathen. Since the de-
parture of the sister the old Chinaman
mas been remarkably kind to the m2m-
bers of the household, exhibiting un-
Wonted liDerality with his goods, and L.
insisting upon leaving triiling presents
from time to time. A week or 50 ago
this ancient joss-wo ship5r, presuming
upon the familiarity which had grown
out of his long trading relations with
tue family, took his accustomed seat
in the Wash-room OF the residence ana
thus addressed himself to the house,
maid as she was engaged at her laundry
work:
"You likee wolk here, hey"
"On yes, very we'll"

been taken to prevent further Mongo

Ter, and the women folks have an uI
healthy reception for the agent when h
