DEER EXPLOITS. few evenings since,
while Chinaman was sitting quietly upon
the fence in front OF the old water works
building, with his heels up on next to the top
rail and face southwark, drinking in the fresh
southern breeze, his mind wandering over de-
parted days and happy memories cast in his
native fowery .land, where were none to
modest or make afraid, the deer of male per-
suasion and inquiring instincts, which roams
at will in the little low yard in rear of the
fence, espied the Chinaman's newly dressed
cue, which hung down his back over the yard
and hoated to and fro with the changes in the
breeze. His deership first watched it from q
position where he lay reclining in shady
place il the yard, but becoming more curious,
got up and approached towards the fence,
from above the top of which the mixed
hair and silken braid f1atGd SO gently
and tantalizingly, and, with eyes as ab-
stractedly fixed upon it as Johns
mind was upon ideal scenes in his far-of
land, followed nearer and nearer, with brief
advances and cautious rests, until he had
gained a near position, when he stood in
earnest gaze for q moment, turning his head
slightly TO one side and then the other, SO
as to bring his best eye into most effective
range and take a positive inventory of the
floating pendant. Soon, however, his Curl
osity overcame him, and giving two or three
preliminary chews, much as to say :" l be-
ieye that things good to eat I'll try piece
of it, anyhow" he cautiously raised upon
his hindfeet, and putting his fofefeet upon
the ends of the plank which projected from
the walk into the yard, reached it, and soon
had about foot of the terminus of the cue
in his mouth, which he masticated vigorous
ly but finding it tough, and failing TO bite
it off satisfactorily, he gave a sudden
downward jerk of the head to pull it off.
which was the first thing that interrupted
the Celestial's musings or apprised him that
anybody or anything was nearer to him than
China. Suddenly recovering himself, it
flashed across his mind that he was attacked
by hoodlums of the worst order, and grab
bling hold of his cue high up, SO as to take it
with him, he leaped from the fence with
all his might and faced about to meet
his pursuers, while the deer was as badly
frightened as he, and with his white flag high
in air, made for the back end of the yard,
which he reached at about three bouncs,
where he stood, trembling and scared half to
DEATH and chewing rapidly, as if to get rid
of what loose materials remained in his
mouth. The Chinaman observing the de-
parting buck and his nervous efforts to spit
out portion of his imperial trophy, and
hearing roar of laughter burst from police
headquarters, where the whole proceeding
had been watched with unquestionable inter
est, T" sabbied at once, and scuffied off to-
ward Chinatown with a new enemy to Chi
nese immigration recorded, and examining
his half masticated and sorry-looking cue as
he went.
