Nearly all our people have pleas

ant memories OF Juuge TaWcetti
who replaced Judge Sepulveda on
the bench OF this district some time
ago. Judge Fawcett, amongst his
other salient characteristics, has a
nose. And thereupon the last
News Letter which has reached US
gets off the following: Cronin, the
Oregon man with nose, is dead,
and there is considerable discussion
as to who shall succeed to his nasal
honors. There are several noses In
the field, but there is no doubt
that in spite of all competition, the
championship will finally be
awarded to Judge Eugene Fawcett,
of Santa Barbara. 1t is related Of
this distinguished jurist that he
once blew his prominent feature in
front of n store while looking in at
the windows. Beyond calling out
the Fire Department, and the dem.
clifton of the entire contents ofthe
show window, no further damage
was caused, the little daughter of
the proprietor, who was In the
back yard, being picked up unin-
jured In field about sixty
yards off. There is no salary at
tached at present to the office of
having prize nose, but as the
Constitutional Convention is now
in session, and Judge Fawcett Is a
member of that body, perhaps the
omission will be rectitied. Gra-
ciOus only nose!
We enjoyed the exquls ite satis-
faction of attending Chinese ser.
mon yesterday. 1t was bang-up
affair, no doubt, aud moved our
devotional impulses. Afterwards
there was slap-up music by the
Chinese band, which resembled
nothing so much as the melodious
puss .2ourri of seven cats which had
been tied by the tails and thrown
over the clothes-line. The only
difference was that the cats would
have developed a little more ener-
gy and decidedly more melody.
The Chinese voice runs decidedly
to falsetto and very thin treble.
A Chinese concert, sacred or pro-
fame, is with us surrounded with
the horrors that, in our infant
days, attended u dose of SIENNA and
mama. Ugh!
A friend handed US yesterday
clipping from the Lawrenceburg
Express, in which we find mention
Of DR.. Luppo, fate of this place,

From the list of managers who
have charge of the ball to be given
at the Pavilion on Wednesday
night, for the benefit of the bui;d-
ing fund, it will be seen that the
originators of the entertainment
intend that it shall be one of the
most delightful affairs ever given
in the city and, considering that the
proceeds are to be applied to the
completion of building in which
every citizen should take a pride,
we hope to see the Pavilion crowd
ed on that night.
