LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
RESULT OF 4 HABEAs CoRPUs.-In Depart
ment Two of the Superior Court yesterday
Celestial female named Tin Cow was brought
into Court on habeas corpus, Gin All Hong
alleging that she was Illegally restrained of
hez liberty, being % years of age, by her
mother, Mrs. Gum Boil. The Court, on
learning that she was of age, and other facts,
inquired if she desired to marry Mr.. Hong.
She replied in the affirmative, provided he
would enter into an agreement to support her
mother. Judge Mcfarland intimated that
he had nothing TO do with that, and ordered
that she be released, with permission to go
with whom she pleased. few minutes
later Hong obtained a marriage license from
County Clerk Coglan, Justice Gilmer was
sent for, and, in the Clerks Office, in the pre-
sence of as many Cinnamon as could gain adj
mittsnce, the twain were united in the holy
bonds of mAtrimony. Directly afterwards
the bride inquired Of the Justice concerning
her husbands being bound to support his
mother-in-law. Hong had been looking as
pleased as though he had fallen into posses
sion of gold COW, instead of Tin one, but
he appeared to become discouraged at the
prospect of being afflicted with the Gum Boil.
However. the thigh contracting parties
presently left for Judge Gilmer's office to gee
about the agreement. The Chinese inter-
prefer explained the matter to the interested
white spectators, by saying that under Chi
nese law, if the husband got hard up" so
to speak, he had the privilege of selling his
mother-in-law first, and the wife afterwards,
IF necessary. AS the Gum Boil was not too
old TO be lively, she might be considered
tolerably fair commercial property, and her
daughter was only doing the fair thing by her
when she sought to bind her husband to care
for and not sell her.
PARADISE LosT.-Uncle John Douglas
went down to the Veterans Home few days
ago. with the expectation of ending his days
there. Yesterday be was back in Sacra-
mento. a letter written by him to a friend
preceded him. Il reads as follows: my
Dear -: said I would write to you as
soon as got something to write about. Well,
l have found that this is no paradise to come
to. This morning we were called about 3, SIS
near as | could guess, and | was ordered to
go out in very wet field to hoe weeds from
the grapevines il such you call some cuttings,
and a sickly-lookiug set at that but spoke
to the doctor about my broken rib in my
back, and showed him my electric belt that
was using for my Rheumatism, and told him
| would be made worse. But it was no use I;
to the field / was told to 60, and he and the
Superintendent made it their business to go
over to Hountyille to get hoe. | told both
of them before l was handy at carpenter
work, and l would be able to stand it better,
but they showed me no favor. There is a
good deal of discrimination here, and l am the
only Republican, l believe. There is an
able-bodied man running around the house,
and the cripples are Ia the field So
you may see me coming sooner than thought.
Besides. the cook is an ugly being. Tuesday
l called out to deaf man, and he thought
was calling az him, and he ran into his room
and got carving knife ard made threats to
carve me for no cause. Now, if | come, you
csnnot blame me under the circumstances"
Uncle John had evidently expected a good
deal pleAsanter time, and allowance must be
made for his disappointment.
Mrs. JURY's CHnDREN.-About ten days
ago Mrs. Juror perhaps she should be
called Mrs. Smith-called upon Mrs. Clay.
ton at her residence, and stated that she de-
sired to have her children placed in the
Protestant Orphan Asylum, so that she
could 90 out to work. Mrs. Clayton in
formed her that there was not sufficient bed
ding at the Asylum to accommodate newcom-
ers then, but more had been ordered and if
It had come she would try and see that the
children were looked after. The mother
agreed to call at certain time to see what
arrangements could be made, but since then
she has not put in sn appearance. The chill
dren, three bright, affectionate boys, waited
snxiously for their mother to come that day,
and could not believe that she would fail, but
finally, when it was evident that she was not
coming, they resigned themselves to the care
OF Mrs. Clayton IN a manner that fairly won
that lady's heart. She took them to the
Asylum, where the matron exerted herself to
see that they were made comfortable, and
they are now apparently happy in their new
quarters.
PLAYING LITTLE Pleas the passenger
train was leaving Folsom few days ago a
number of those on beard were much amused
at the actions Of goose and an old sow by
.he roadside. Mrs. Piggy had litter of little
piggies, and the goose, observing the proceed
ings OF the latter, concluded to play little
pig. The SOW objected to sucking her, how
ever. ThereupOn the goose caught hold Of
the old lady's hide, shook it viciously, tapped
her wings and made other demonstrations of
anger. The SOW apparently surrendered at
discretion, as, the last seen of the group when
the train moved away, the goose had been
adopted as one Of the family and was getting
as much uourishment rs any Of the young.
