He went into a coffee saloon to get something tc eat The room was full of strangers, all 5usy satisfying their appetites. A man standing at the bar commenced to abuse officers, and called them all sorts of names. Finally he said that United States marshals were the worst of all, and applied an epithet to the stern ex- ecutors Of federal law that reflected on their descent limiting that it might be derived from some other source than monkeys as alleged by Darwin. Mr. Evans had endured the chaifing till pa- tiancp bad passed out Of the category of virtues.

 There is a pagan in our town, how ever, who is very well posted on the suO- feet of Chinese bombs, and the danger ous characteristic of the same. Sing Low is his name, and let history record the fact that there was one heather who cast aside the prejudices of his race and class and was glad to celebrate the white mans holiday. In persuance of his determination to celebrate the birth day of the proudest and grandest republic on earth, Sing proceeded to ignite a large and particularly well filled bomb, which he had purchased at the nelghbor- ing store. He lit 1t and watched 1t gent ly sizzle until the fire had reached the inside, and then proceeded to cast 1t from him. Bnt Sing like many man of more intelligence, and greater preten- tiOns, had miscalculated his time, and that pesky thing exploded in his hand. It did not take Sing long to realize that something had occurred. In fact, he was sure of 1t, when he gazed at his laoerated fingers, SO. forgetting that his name was Sing Low, he proceeded tO sing higa. So high, in fact, dId he tickle his musical bazoO, that the air was filled with Chinese music, and crooked nOsed adverbs, accompanied by disjOinted adiectives of a startling in- tensity of inference, and Chinese Oaths of strange and unmusicsl sound. Poor Sing He did not know 1t was lOsdedi And as he reclines upon his weary couch, in a neighbOring wash-hOuse, and presses his aching head upon the unadOrned candle-boX that serves for a pillow, he softly murmurs to himself, as he surveys hls wounded digits-"Sup- pose Chlinaman makee fourth J'ly, he heap dam fool
