There is an ordinance in San Francisco that requires the Sheriff to cut off the queues of Chinamen who are sent to the county iail. One prisoner, who was thus treated, sued the Sheriff after he regained his liberty he denied the constitutionality of the ordinance, and tEe question, thus raised has been under consider ati ,n by United States Judge for some time. Meanwhile the Sheriff continues to cut off queues as fast as he gets jurisdiction over them and the Chinamen are bringing so many suits against him for reparation, that the Board of Supervisors have found it necessity to provide extra counsel for his defense.

SUMNER.

There came a whisper through the wind
blown leaves,
That stirred In music underneath the caves,
And fiuttering breeze and huttering foliage
seemed
To watt my thoughts to dreamland as 1
dreamed
OF Summer
There came flood of light. a flush of bloom,
And roses scattered petals of perfume;
And wings of birds and echoes of their song
Bore every thought in cadence sweet along
To Summer.
There famed in splendor fierce fervent sun,
And sweet May paled, and sighed, My life is
done
To you, sister June be all lose
And all fain would gain, If might choose
For SUMMER
There stood in meadow. grasses ankle deep
One who awakened from her maiden sleep,
And wakened turned to me with smile divine
And blushins let her hand clasp close on
IS In Summer.
And all the golden sunlight rained its gold
On tresSes bright as any ray they hold,
And all the fervent splendor of the day
Wore fairer splendor then in SKY and raw
OF Summer.
For what Is earth If love be not our dav2
Ana what Is love II love care not to stay,
And staying steal our hearts in dreauless
And resting thus, who dreams and is not
blest
In Summer?

man-servant, "what is the name of the

relied upon in the matter of names"

Thomas. "Leastways, it's Thurston on

The next day she received this reply:
Mr.. Thurston regrets that Mrs. Browne

conduct OF his grandson, and begs to ask if
Master Oliver did not provoke the quarrel,
and bear his part in it.
'Our Oliver provoke quarrel! I" cried
Miss Nora. "What an insolent old

Fl. BROWNE.
Mr.. Thurston thinks that if YOU can secure

Oliver, you will find that it is six of one and

Thurston also begs that you will reorganize

New YoRK, Jan. 25.-It is said that Gus.
Phillips, (''oofty Gooft''), aged forty-two,
the newspaper correspondent, song writer
and Dutch character comedian, shot by
Mary Hooper yesterday, served with dis
tinetion during the war in Duryea's Zou'
ayeA
He was familiar with Tweed, and was
once the pet of the Americus Club and
Ring. His first appearance on the stage
brought thirty-one-bundred-dollar house.
He played two weeks to full houses, then
went travelling East and West, but falling
heir to round legacy, left the stage and
gave himself up to the enjoyment of life.
Mrs Hooper's maiden name was Mary
Andrews. She was born in Philadelphia
in 1874, and schooled in Philadelphia,
where she became proficient in all the &C
complishments of a modern society belle.
Her great beauty married her to Harry
Potter, a tobacco merchant OF Boston. She
removed to Brooklyn, was divorced at Bos-
ton, and next married William Hooper,
an iron merchant of Boston, said to be a
nephew of Senator Sumner
Hooper, ruined by his wifes extrav.
agance, shipped before the mast in sailing
ship He returned to Brooklyn and lived
with an old friend, Mr.. Delaney.
She stole jewelry from Mrs. Delaney,
and was sent to the Penitentiary for one
year. When she got out about year age
she passed under the protection of Phil
lips.
1t is stated that Mrs. Hooper, although
an accomplished vocalist and musician, was
extremely partial to liquor. 1t is said she
was not the only unfortunate member OF
her family.
Some years ago her father had occasion
to,chastise his youngest daughter. She left
the house and never has since been heard
of. The loss of the child subjected the
mother to fits of insanity. ...
The father failed in business, lost all his
property, removed to New York, and is
now holding minor position.
He refused to see or hold any communi-
cation with Mrs. Hooper,
At last accounts Phillips and Mrs Fl.
were in critical condition.
