Charley Sing e the proprietor Of laun-
dry on Douglas avenue. Mr.. Sing ha. un-
clss, cousins, but no aunts, who assist him
in his business. He has two new arrivals
from the Flowery Kingdom, kinsfolk, who,
believing the said Charley Sing to Be big
man among the Americans, do exactly as
he says. They get their English from Char
ley and . good part OF their Chinese. In
the pursuit of their laundry business they
command large custom and the vacant lot
adjoining their business is white with the
snowflake linens that they have applied
their skill on. In the cool Of the evening
may DO seen these Celestials resting their
weary bodies in the native Chinese customs,
on the shady side of their business house.
Now for some cause q colored barber who
plies his razor next door has taken an anti
patty to the aforesaid Chinese. Tho baggy
trowsers, long pig tails and almoned eyes OF
these children of the Celestial Empire seems
to awaken in this coon's breast the spirit OF
war and rapine. So it transpired Tuesday
evening that when the colored gen.
tleman of African decent paid
his accustomed visit to John
Chinamans' well for water that his enviou-
eyes fell on the spotless white garments
hanging from the lines aud in sheer wanton-
ness threw water on them. If there is any
thing in this world that would make Chi
naman mad it would be an attack of this
kind by lone Niger on the combined
rights of seven Cinnamon. Now there is
one Chinaman in this business who has re-
ceived Chinese wrestlers education, and
who when the water commenced to settle on
the clothes this almond-eyed celestial
climbed that niger too soon to talk about.
The other six also, at the command of Sing,
fell on him with Chinese implements of war
fare, and three of them got barrel slaves and
while the wrestler held him they belabored
him with so much zeal that when they did
not hit one another, put such mansard
roof on him that he was considered beyond
the recognition of friends. Yesterday morn
ing the same darkey concluded that few
rocks would annihilate the Chinese and
tumbled number against the house, and
again the Chinese forces were rallied and the
negro put to flight A reporter visited the
Chinese headquarters and Intercepted Mr..
Sing, but that gent was lsbOring under a
good deal of excitement and the only thing
the reporter could gather was, "damee Nell

Squire Ross says he has corn on his place
which is higher than mans head on
horseback. We don't doubt it. We never
saw such corn as the valley grows, and this
year's'crop promises to exceed any former
year. Coming in from the east line of the
state travellers tell us that the corn stands
higher in each county as progress is made
westward until this valley is reached, when
the crop lays every other section in the
shade. Reconnaissance Steenrod tells us
that out of curiosity he measured the growth
of hill of corn on his place in twenty -four
hours and the result was six and one-half
inches.

don't think the cattle monopoly is any big
