SCORE ONE FOR THE CHINA.
MAN.


The Acknowledged inhabitant of
the Celestial Land is almost, if not
quite, irrepressible. He can work
more and live on less than anybody
ever heard of, up to this present
writing. As we have heard it res
marked, he can live all winter on a
hickory-nut, and sell the shell, in
the summer for large profit. We
will not attempt to defend the We
racity of that story, however.
Kearney, short time ago, in
tones Of thunder, sent forth the
alarming edict that the Chinese
must co. Well, they didn't go,
and thereby hangs tale. In CAL
ifornia John has a hard time-in
fact We may say he has DENIM

understood that the foregoing is a
quotation, and not an original SIM
Literature is far different from pro-.
family. With this explanation we
will proceed, after repeating
the remark that John has
hard time of it. The hoodlum's"
favorite amusement is stoning
these innocents. The very ours of
San Francisco dislike "washee-
washee," and never lose an oppor-
tunity of performing surgical
operation on one of them. The
policemen of that city, when times
are hard, always vary the monotony
by "nabbing'' one of them. Not
withstanding all these little things.
John continues to thrive, get rich
and 60 back dead or alive to the
Flowery Kingdom. ~z
The State of California, as g
body polite, however, has a strong
interest in these people. and looks
after their health and well being
with a truly fatherly solicitude
One of the acts of the California
Legislature, known as the "cubic al
ordinance" enacts that no persol
shall sleep in room which has no
500 cubic feet of all. to each occu
pant, and knowing the fact tina
these sons of nature can not wei
take care of their pence, provide
that when found guilty, the gentl
officer of the law shall take not les
than SO or more than $50 of tn
culprit's cash, and if tn
SIS are not forth coming that h
shall give the pleasure of his com
pany to the Superintendent of tn
county Jail. The Board of Super
visors of this ancient and respects
BILE institution furthermore in tn
goodness Of their hearts decide
that the cue which adorns the hea
of these Cinnamon will take up to
much room, thus crowding th
wearer too much, consequently
"must CO." Now if there's an.
thing that Chinaman reveres it
this selfsame cue, and the value h
puts on it will appear afterwards.
Now in that City of the G
Gate there dwells a man with th
euphonious name of Ho All Ko1
With ingratitude positively di'
graceful, Mr.. -Kow scorned tt
fatherly protection of the State
California, and, base wretch that
is, slept in a room where there wa
not the all-necessary $500 cub

not be condoned, and one
