Hewitt, and Henry Clark, seeing
the danger of the situation, ran to
the rescue of his fellow work man.
His intention was to quell the dis
turbance, but the Cinnamon mis-
understood it, and began to throw
tools, lasts and shoes. One of them
come up to Clark and struck him
over the h cad with large file. For
few minutes a very lively fight
was INDUCED in. The Cinnamon
sent delegation to their quarters,
which are in the east wing of the
factory, for more help. There the
armed themselves with knives and
pistols, and returned to the shop.
They found that all their country
men had disappeared. They then
returned to their quarters.
AT / O'Clock everything was
quiet; but the Cinnamon have not
returned to work. The fight lasted
but few minutes and it resulted
in two Cinnamon being very sew
erely beaten. They may not re-
cover. Several others received
slight wounds. Clark's injuries
were painful, but he went to work
this afternoon. All of the other
white men employed in the room,
says the foreman, VIM. G. Vail,
left as soon as the row began,
thinking that q disturbance that
had been brewing SO long would re-
suit seriously. The feeling toward
the Chinese is very strong, and 1T is
feared that something more serious
will happen if they should appear
in the street before the feeling has
died out. 1t is almost impossible
to learn how the injured Cinnamon
are.
1t is thought that as result Of
the disturbance all of the China
men will quit the place. They
have gradually diminished in
numbers for the past three or four
years. At one time the shop en-
ployed over 200, some of whom left
on account of a former disturbance,
others for the sake of going into
commercial pursuits. All have be-
come thoroughly Americanized.
Some of the whites have already
signilied their intention to leave if
the Chinese should resume work.

BEWITCHED BY A TOAD.
Why William Bulwer was Unable to Sleep o
Nights.

Why Bulwer, of Ettiug Green,
ing Chrisliana Martins, II young
girl. Complainant deposed that
she was Is years of age, and on
Wednesday, the I'd inst, the de-
| feudant came to her and abused
her. The complainant repeated,
despite the fort of the magistrates
clerk to stop her, out of the worst
language it was posi- ble to conceive
-conversatiou cf the most gross
description, alleged to have taken
place between herself and the de-
fendapt. They appeared to have
got from words to blows, and while
trying to fasten the gate, the de-
fendant hit her hands with stick.
She alleged that the defendant had
no cause for the abuse and assault,
so far as she knew; and, in reply to
rigid cross-eXamination as TO the
origin of the quarrel, adhered to
this statement. Mrs. Susannah
GathercoIe also corroborated the
statement as to the assault, adding
| that the defendant said the com.
plainanps mother was a witch.
Defendant then blaZed forth in
righteous Indignation, and when
the witness said she knew no more
about the origin Of the quarrel, he
said: airs. Martins ia an old
witch, gentlemen; that is what she
| is, and she charmed me and L got
no sleep from her for three nights;
and one night, at 1l:30 O'clock /
got up because | could not sleep,
and went out and found walking
up with a three pronged fork. That
is why | could not rest; she is bad
old woman; she put this toad under
there to charm me, and her daugh-
ter j. just as bad, gentlemen. She
would bewitch any one; she
charmed me, and got no rest day
or night from her till | fourd this
walking toad under the turf. She
dug hole aud put it there to charm
me, gentlemen; that is the truth ;she
is a bad old witch. | got the toad
out, and put it i'll cloth, and took
it upstairs and showed it to my
mother, and "throwed it into the
pit in the garden. | can bring it
and show it to you, gentlemen"
Magistrate-[ Iaughter]; "What
do you say? she bewitched you?"
Defendant-"Yes, sir. She went
round this here walking toad after
she had buried it; aud | could not
rest by day or sleep by night till l
found it. She is a bad old witch,
and is not going to come over me,
though. Her daughter is as bad
as she is, and encourages her in
IT." The bench-"Do you go to
church?n Defendant - "Some
times l go to church and sometimes
to chapel, aud sometimes | don't
go nowhere. Her mother is
bad enough to do anyth;ng;
and to go and put the walking
toad in the hole like that for n
man which never did nothing to
her, she is not fit to live, gentle
men, to go and do such a thing; it
Is not as If Lad done anything to
her. She looks at lots of people,
and I know che will do some one
harm" Laughter. The Chair
man-"Do you know this man, Su-
perlnteudent Symonds? Is he
sane?' Laughter. Superintend-
ent Symonds-"Yes, sir, perfect
ly." lL.ughter.l Defendant-"It
is quite true, gentlemen; | showed
the toad to my IN other, and | cah
bring 1t for you to see." The chair
man said he was very sorry the de-
fendant was so foolish rs to believe
such rubbish, and he would fine
him and add costs.

HOW THE WATER IS CLEANSED.


First the water passes down through
four inches of assorted Marine Gravel,
then through eight inches of Patent
White Willow and Animal Charcoal ;
then ascends twelve inches through
Fresh Water Sand and Marble Dust:
then descends again through twelve
inches OF Charcoal.
The Filter, with all Its tubes, is made
of Terra Gotta, and is so arranged that
all the tiltering material can be re-
moved and repacked entirely with new
material, at trifling expense.
They are manufactured in two sizes
viz: The Family Size, to contain four
gallons, and the Office Size, to contain
two gallons. OF filtered water. The Fam
lily Size Will filter thirty and the Office
size fifteen gallons OF water in twenty
four hours.
In Oakland alone there are about five
hundred of these filters now in use, CIV
ing perfect satisfaction, and teslimoni-
al from the owner of each one can be had
at any time.

More About the Audiphone.

For an indefinite number of ages, deaf people
have gone on putting their ear-trumpets in their
ears, and have never thought to put them In
their mouths as 1t now appears they should
Every aurist has always known that the external
ear is not the only avenue of approach to the aud
1t0ry nerve, and any unpr0feSSiOnal person who
thinks that it is can never have tried the simple
experiment OF putting watch between his teeth
and stopping his ears. Mr.. Richard S. Rhodes
OF Chicago. did this one day about a year ago, as
not less than million Of people had done before
him, but he Is the first one to whom the sounds
heard under such circumstances suggested the
idea that fan-like instrument held between the
teeth would greatly help deaf people to hear
Ever since that time he has been developing his
"audiphone," as he calls 1t, and within a few
days 1t had its first public trial in an Indianapolis
institution for the instruction of deaf-muteS The
reported results are astonishing. A bright little
girl about 10 years old, the first to whom the
test was applied. For number of years she had
been totally deaf and speeches., but had not
listened minute before her features lighted up
with smile that told the whole story" Several
other children confirmed the happy result, and
it was regarded as established that persons In
whom the auditory nerve exists at all can be
made to hear, even though the ordinary ear
trumpet Is OF 20 help to them. And as dumb
ness is only result of deafness. it follows that
the dumb can be taught to speak, as indeed
they have been for several years in an inStitu
ton in this city, but only by the most laborious
methods, and not with entire success. Mr..
Rhodes cites one case in which two sisters who
had not heard each others voices for a number
of years, resumed conversation within the first
hour of using the audiphone. 1t still remains,
however, to invent help to hearing which will
be conspicuous There would seem to be no
rational reason why people should shrink from
using an ear-trumpet any more than an eye
glass; unless perhaps that deafness is more I'M
tracts more attention. But the fact remains
that deaf people are very averse to using artt-
fetal aids to hearing, and multitudes will prefer
shout, rather than to use anything which con-
feSseS their deafneSs.-[N. Y. Times.

WILLIAM SLACK.

Mr.. Black Is very rapid writer. There are
fabulous stories told OF the amount Of leader
Of journalistic work In writing novels he seems
to sit down with all his matter In his head and
only The actual work OF the penmanShip to do,
so that he can write straight on. He will take
consider idleness, and then in day or two
write out all that he has accumulated in his
mind. Thus, although he seems to keep his brain
perpetually employed, either in observation or
construction, his hours of actual physical work
are not really very many. He seldom works
two days running; even in the thick OF novel,
as the strain Of this continuous work Is too
great, although occasionally this rule Is broken
BY ya some few days OF consecutive writing. Mr.
fluent and easily commanded power OF pro-
duction, but even he cannot always write Some
times he will shut himself up, or leave home
for few days, in order TO get through spell
OF work. Mr.. Blacks earlier novels were writ
ten when he accomplished an amount of jour
naliSttc work, which must have made il no light
labor to produce bright romanceS at the same
Time. But MI; BLACK Is not one OF those persons
who enjoy talking OF themselves or their own
work, and we are left to judge for ourselves
whether his work has always been a pleasure to
him. even when he was most full OF it. Mrs. Black
is very good pool plNer-a fact which Will
bring smile to many OF us, as recalling TINT
delightful sketch, ''The Legend OF a Billiard
Club and Is, indeed fond of games and the
various active amuSementS with which our
humanity busies Itself: most people would sup
pose him to like the light and bright side of life
let il is probable that, if Mr.. Black were per-
S0nally asked to describe his own disposition, he
would say that his habitual mood is one OF pro-
found melancholy. 1t is more than probable
that other authors also gifted with the power
both OF enjoyment and Of giving enjoyment
would render similar account OF themselves 1t
Is a question whether any one who has cultivated
his power OF observation Will not inevitably be
more often sad than gay.-I7He UairefSty My

How Domestic Cigars are Made.

The great majority OF consumers in this coun-
try smoke cheap domestic cigars, and the manu-
factuTe of these have increased to vast proper
lions of late years. Domestic cigars are either
handmade or moulded. Moulded cigars were
formerly in great request, but within few
years the tastes Of smokers have SO changed
that there is now quite demand for the home
made article. Moulded cigars are made with
less care and greater rapidity. The moulds
consist of two blocks of wood, on which are
placed the under and upper moulds respect
between these mouldS are squeezed into shape
by a press. In the mould system OF cigar
making there is a saving OF 10 to Is per
cent. In material, and from is to 20 per cent.
in time. Any intelligent boy or girl can learn
to make cigars in mOuldS in a few weeks, while
the art Of hand cigar making requires judgment
and deXterity and several years Of apprentice
ship before it can be properly acquired IL is
very easy to distinguish the difference between
these two classes OF domestic cigars. The
moulded articles being made in haste are Often
dry and brittle, contain cavities or loose spots
which cause the smoke to travel up the inside
leaving the wrapper unburned. There are how
ever, many good moulded cigars made In which
the stock consists OF very good tobacco. In
TentOrS at different times have devised ma
they have proved absolute failures Those which
have worked with any degree Of success have
as is generally the case with a labor-saving
machine, excited the opposition of the
operatives, and we think very few, If
any, of these machines are at present in use in
the United States. At the present time how
e, er. fully half the cigars manufactured In the
United States are manufactured by the aid of
moulds.
