the sultan Is suspicious of them, and ap-

to have the contrary effect. as Mahmoud
is intensely unpopular with the troops.
The sultan nominated him without con-

OF the latter from the ministry. Mehemet

for the recovery OF the amount OF dam
age alleged to have been sustained by
the Rough IL Ready Company, by the
Justice Company working in their
ground, in following the Woodville
ledge; the other for the recovery of the

based on the claim of one Woods, al

ing sold by the Sheriff to
pay the wages of the miners.

claim has lain dormant, but will now
be revived by his successors, the

and one of that school was called
I'm. Thereupon, the members of
the old school gave notice that the
man from the rival shop rust be
dismissed or they would absn-
don the patients to whom they had
been accustomed TO minister. The Ia
dies pleaded that their establishment
was not a hospital, and that the inedi-
cal treatment of one unfortunate had
no necessary connection with the rest;
but this and other like reasons ayaIled
not. The allopath doctors pleaded the
rules OF their association as an insur-

appear to have been a high spirited set

curse laid down for them by the old

sumo the responsibility of subjecting

which they had no falkland faith has
much to do with the efficacy of medi-

other indignities, the playful Caucas-
ans cut off his queue. Mr.. Lai Sun
bore the curtailment so patiently, not
to say c~heerfully, that some of his

unjustly-of having invited the visit
himself, as the best means of getting
rid of a distinguishing badge OF nation

him. No such suspicion will attach to

against the Sheriff in the United States
Circuit Court, laying his damages at
$4,000. His case is, that the queue
was worn in accordance with an i'm
memorial custom of his country; that
by violently depriving him Of it against
his will, the Sheriff has disgracsd and
Inundated him in the eyes OF his
countrymen; and that the municipal
ordinance of San Francisco, under
which the Sheriff used the shears, is
unconstitutional.
