one of tho courts IN this city, two OF

case In whicha Chinaman was the
complaining witness against a white

closely the men summoned as jurors,
TO ascertain their views on the Chinese
question. He asked one of them

COMM 1lHRO THE RYE.

An illustrated periodical, some time
ago, published an Illustration of " Com.
in Thro the Rye" and blunders into
what we presume is the popular mis-
conception of the ditty, giving laddie
and lassie meeting and kissing in u
field of grain. The lines,
Ifladdie meet lassie,
Comm thro' the rye,
and especially the other couplct,
A. the lads that smile on me
When comm thro' the rye,
seem to imply that traversing the rye
was an habitual or common thing and
the song, perhaps, suggests a harvest
scene, where both sexes, as is the Gus
tom in Great Britain, are at work reap
ing, and where they would come and
go through the rye itself so as to
meet and kiss in it.
The truth is, the rye in the case is
no more grain than Rye Beach is, it
being the name of small, shallow
stream near Ayr, in Scotland, which.
having neither bridge nor ferry, was
forded by people going to and from the
market, custom allowing a lad to steal
a kiss from a lass of his acquaintance
whom he met mid stream. Our CON
temporary will see that this is the true
explanation il he win read Burns

LONDON. March %. A dispatch
from St. Petersburg controverts the
views of the English press relative to
the protocol, and says the protocol
preslpposes the conclusion Of peace with
Montenegro and the rehabilitation of
the Turkish forces. The conviction
still prevails in st. Petersburg that if
the Powers unanimously hold to their
decided language they will obtain ac-
ceptance Of their demands by the Porte
and the peace Of Europe will be MAIN
tanned. One thing is inadnissable, viz
that Europe should compromise herself
second time by failure to achieve a
result.

Tue OUTLOOK IN CALIFORNIA
From exchanges we gather that the ag-
ricultural prospects IN the Golden State
for this year are decidedly bilious. The
Freno Erpositor says: THE plains are
fearfally dry. There is scarcely any
thing in the shape of vegetation grow
ing. All hope for rain has departed
and the grim reality is now staring in
the face ell who are not blessed with
irrigating facilities The Alameda la
depea3eat adds: The same condition Of
things exists generally in the southern

well or irrigating bitches afford relief ="

generally believed that Hall has fled to

The World persists that all the facts
point to the conclusion that Hall was
murdered in Brooklyn last Friday
night. 1t gives the name Of the lady
in the divorce court in question as Mrs.
Ellen Davis Morgan, wife of Leonard
Morgan The World continues: The
engagement with Miss Dyas was for
the same night, but Hall afterwards
told Miss Dyas that he was compelled
to 60 to Brooklyn during the early part
of the evening. and could rot meet her
until nine o'clock. That he did GO to
Brooklyn about seven, is almost abso-
lutely certain that he was probably
made away with while be was in the
dangerous locality he calculated to visit
seems altogether probable. Other jour
nails. including those of Brooklyn, scout
