have encouraged Chuf to insist upon Il
"round." But few words more were ex-
changed before the white and the black
man were fighting with all the fury of nm
gered catamounts. Ed seemed 70 sober up
instantly, and in less than n minute had
given Chuif all he cared
to receive in one installment
Ed. now turned his attention to the spec
tators, with the avowed purpose Of "clean-
ing out" every negro that had seen the
fight; and he was about to undertake this
rather heavy contract, when the police ar
rived and took him under arrest. lie was
a troublesome fellow to take along--swore
that he had fight in him as big as a sea-
cow"-and the officers found it 50. UnwiI-
ling to quiet him by tap on the head, it
required dray, two or three men ana
several pairs of nippcrs to get him to the
calaboosc. He is there, now, however, and
will be tired this morning,
About II o'clock yesterday morning
Chief After saw Two strangers, apparently
deck hands, near the corner Of Tenth and
Commercial, betting one another with an
industry and viciousncss that promised IN
abundant crop of broken bones, bruises,
and badly bunged optics, Coming UP to
them he called upon couple Of by-stand-
ers TO assist in the arrest, The couple
obeycd when a muscular stranger nam
ed Henry Miller interfcred and threw
one of the deputies off, and then
walked off The Chief releasing his priS-
oner to aasist in the arrest of Miller, the
prisoner took to his heels and ran like Il
quarter-holsc, the Chief following with
drawn revolver and calling upon him to halt
which he did just in time to preserve his
carcass unpunctuIcd, He and his combat
i've companion were jagged and will be
tried to-day. Miller was subsequently ar
rested for resisting an officer, and taken be-
for Squire Robinson, where his language
was so protanc and offensive that he was
fined s. on that score, and on the original
charge $40, which with costs aggregated
about S25 which he will pay out, by pro
tractcd stay in the cooler.
Late Monday night wretched female
carrying baby in her arms, was found
tramping about the streets in search of her
five year old boy, who had become scpira-
ted from her Squire Osborn happened to
meet the boy and told him to go to the
police headquarters and stay there, and in
due time his mother would find him. The
| chief Of police noticing the little codger
loafng about the building turned him out
and told him to get off home, as it was Il
terrible thing for kids Of his age to be
out SO late. The little fellow set out in the
darkness, and had been gone but half
hour when the mother put in an appear
ance, in eager haste to see her boy, who,
she said, had been directed to come there
and await her arrival. Meanwhile the
Chief had gone home for the night, not
dreaming that he had been the means OF
prolonging the separation between the
mother and her lost boy. After resting
awile the miserable woman resumed her
hunt About daylight the lost was found;
and while it is no doubt true that both
mother and child were made the happier,
it is by no means certain that permanen,
separation would not have been the better
for both Of them.
Astronomical observations through the

column TO the consistency OF India rubber
and to render the legs provokingly retrac
tory. An astronomer who had made fire
