A BIT WONDERFUL. 1t is somewhat
strange to the uninitiated that all the lodges
If secret societies in this city should meet
twice in one week, and that two nights in
succession Yet such was the case Wednes-
day and last nights. Such a hurry and
anxiety on the part of married men to reach
their respective lodges by o'clock was I'M
heard Of Benedicts of score Of years
standing, as well as the incumbered young
man who dates the bearing of his burden only
SO far back as last spring, they were fall alike
| in a tremendous stew to avoid getting at the
lodge too late Conidng wives believed that
business of the most important nature
coming up before their husband lodges, con
seuuently assisted their liege lords to get away
IS early as possible by preparing dinners All
hour ahead of time. The prmping and fuss
ing these men did about their persons on the
aforesaid evenings was extraordinary in the
extreme. Many wife surprised to wit
ness her husband adorn himself in a manner
strange to her since the days of her court
ship. The business of the lodges could not
have been of long duration, nor of very
absorbing character, for at half past eight
o'clock the Carson Theater, at which there
was a con can performance, was literally packed |
with these deceiving married wretches. The |
gray headed and bearded old gent of sixty |
We'd with the sixteen year old gamin with
crownless hat, in making the loudest noise for
encore after the singing of questionable
song by one or the other of the performers.
These faithful bubbles, in all probability,
went home at about midnight telling their
spouses how tired they were from the fatig
uing mental labors they had performed at
their respective lodges. Oh, the vile wreches.
But there will be another lodge meeting of
the same kind at the theater tonight.

Officer Cowing came driving down the street
n buggy He cried to the cripple that If
he did not behave himself and let the China
men go peaceably to work he would arrest +
aim. The cripple answered that SO long as {
he lived he would permit no Cinnamon to \
work in this country, upon which the officer
took the fellow to Jail, where he will find :
ample time to reflect upon the ''unj Just dis
elimination exercised in favor of the Chi !
nese," according to Dennis Kearney. +
