Dissentions In Chinatown.

Either the scarcity of water makes
the Chinese morose and quarrelsome
or the restriction of immigration
makes them feel more independent,
owing to the decrease of competition.
At least they are affecting the high
strung temper Of white people to a
great extent. Chinatown is in broil
all the time. The quarrels are not
confined to the slaves who work,
but take place among the head men
and gamblers and their assistants.
TINS week the lady known to the
boys as the "Queen," who was the
helpmeet, consoit or words to that
effect, of Hop Lee, Chief of one of
the companies, had violent alter
cation with one of the company,
who taking advantage of his mascu.
line strength, inflicted sundry
scratches and bruises, and while leav
ing the premises threw a stick of fire
wood, which fortunately for the we-
man fell short of the mark but
knocked a goodly sized piece Of the
bark from her monaghan shin. Mrs.
Hop Lee has been shipped to Sacra-
mentO.

Divided With HIM,

An individual to whom Il number
in town had extended money favors,
returned from work on the ditch at
the Monitor mill a few days ago
with plethoric purse, and at once
commenced filling up with "benzine.'
Some of his creditors thinking he
would drink it all up without paying
them, demanded what he owed, but
to no purpose. Later in the evening
the demand was renewed, aud upon
his persistently refusing to pay, went
through him. They took what was
due them, and fin ling he had $l2 so
over and above his debts and liabili-
ties, placed it in the hands of the
bar-keeper to lie given to him in the
morning. This is decidedly new
way of collecting.-Ward Refer.

Too Cute.

Dick Dryer, the drummer, met
with a similar fate at Reno that he
experienced at Virginia. At Reno
he was fined some forty dollars for
soicitiI z without license. License
collectors are hot on his scent. From
what can be learned Dick has for a
long time been successful In evading
the license law. He thought it too
good a joke to keep to himself, and
therefore boosted of it to many other
drummers, who "gave 1t away" and
tine result is that he will not do much
collecting in Nevada henceforth.

How to tell Them.

An old traveller says that if fly
drops into glass of beer he can tell
the nationality of the drinker by his
subsequent conduct. An American
will joke about it and order a fresh
glass. A Spaniard will pay for the
beer, but quietly move off without
touching it. A Frenchman will pay
and 20, but will loudly sputter. An
Englishman will empty the mug and
order another. A German will dare.
fully fish out the fly and swallow the
beer. A Russian will swallow both
fly and beer. A Chinaman will res
cue the fly, eat it and pour the beer
under the table. 1t is now important
to ascertain the views of the fly.

Water from Wood.

By thrusting the ends of green
scrub wood -"msllec scrub"-in the
fire. and catching the sap driven out
at the other end in bark trough, an
Australian supplied himself with
water and saved his life while cross
ing in a wsterless region. He says
that dozen malice sticks, four feet
long and two or three inches in d.
ameter, would give a pint of water
in an hour, and suggests that the
same device may possibly be found
of vital Importance to other bush
rangers and travellers in arid regions.

are informed that cloud burst visits

remain there they will be compelled
to dig an entire new water ditch

been made from deposits brought
there by the water. The loss, not
including the vast amount Of labor,
is estimated at from $40 900 to $l2,
