HOW is Hi.

EDITOR TOMBSTONE What has be- come Of the Anti-Chinese agitation? As I was walking down town this morning, overheard a long conversa- ton between five or six men of our city. After hearing what they had to say, 1 looked at them and saw tLat t came from a source that would be glad to cat square meal from a Chinaman for bit, if they could stand them off But I hear similar talk among good citizens of Tomb stone-as the following:
 "Well, I guess that the anti-Chinee fellows have given up the job, think ing they can boycott the Chinese out of town"
 "Oh, well, I said that on the start, I knew it would blow over after two or three meetings"
 "Well, you sec that business men of this town have not the st many to take hold of it; they are afraid that they might loose the sale Of some ten cent article in there line of business" l"
 "Yes, that is just the matter-you ought to be in some of the towns in California, that I have been in, in the last year-the people there, the busi- ness men all join in with the laboring class and stand together, and the re- suit is that they soon starve the Chinese out, and they are glad to go."
 "Well, didn't Nash say in his paper that two Chinamen had left town"
 "Oh, well, what is that, I have lived in this camp now for four years and have become familiar with all the China faces, and I will bet that l can show you one hundred new faces that came to town in the last month." "Oh, well, let them come, they don't hurt any of us, after awhile they will all be in here, and then these anti Chinese fellows will wake up to the emergency of the case, and then they will find it a harder matter 10 get rid of them
 Now, MT. Editor, think you had better see your President, and call an outdoor meeting in front of the Occi- dental Hotel oil l;ext satiiFday ever ing, and we will get some speakers that will address the public On the sul ject Of the "Chinese must go." AETI-CIISESE

A Cool Commanders.


 "The coolest man I ever knew was old Victor de St. Hilaire, the colonel of an Infantry regiment that saw some service in Algeria" said Col. Henri Dubois, one of a party of Frf nch off, cers. who, having failed to take a look at Siam on their way hotne from the Tonquin war, and had come to dine with us on board a Bretish gun-boat which had somehow found its way up the Mei Nam liver.
 "Pve known men," he continued, "who managed to put on d great show of coolness in time of danger, though they were really very much excited i; but there was no putting on with St. Hilaire-it came as natural to him as eating his dinner. All his hair breadth escapes (and he had so many that he could hardly count them him selD had left him as cool as before, and it really seemed as if dangers passed him by becatsc he would not cohdescend to notice that they were there at all. Once his men mutinied, and two of them clapled their bayo- nets to his breast as if to run him through; but tie Colonel only smiled, and said, as quietly as ever: "Be careful, my lads; you might hurt me-"
 "Now it happehed that in Col. St. Hilaire'S regiment there Has pep pery young sub-lieutenant who was as hot as the colonel was cool. With Him it was always Gas You English say) "a word and a blow, and blow first He had fought so many duel4 that the soldiers used to call him Sudden Death,' and to say that the best way to end the war would be fo, him to challenge the enemy's whole army, man by man. Well, one day this lieutenant had committed some fault, for which the colonel gave him such scolding that the young fel- lows hot blood couldn't bear it any longer. Quick as lightning he whip ped out pistol and fired right at St. Hilaire's face, so close that the muzzle almost touched him. But the pistol missed fire, and the colonel said, quite coolly, Forty-eight hours arrest for not keeping your arms in proper ordcr.'"
 "And was that all the hettenant gotr' asked a dozen voices at once, in undifgLised amazement.
 "That was all; and l can tell you he thought it Was quiie enough Ha! General, good evening. I was just telling these gentleman how you once put me under arrest for not keeping my pistols in working orde!,. J

For the past week the Bird Cage Theatre has had hurlesque on the boards, entitled "The Chinese Must Go!" The play is full of Imaginable incidents, and its author is entitled to a niche in the temple of humor with Mark Twain, Bob Burdette ct al. The most amusing thing, however, in con, nection with it's production occurred on the last night of its presentation. In the last scene of the last act, the Chinese laundryman is put on burto and is Lares and Perates, consisting of fat-irons, portable, stove, dirty clothes, etc. piled on top of him and firmly lashed to the bUrroj Accord ing to the literal interpretation of the play the burro is supposed to be led off, carrying John and his parapher- nelia out of town. For some reason or other, howeverg the burro pre- ferred remaining oii the stagh. He could not be led off, neither could he be backed off Like the Rock of Gibraltar, he had come to stay, and stay he did. For some, the language known so we'll to the army mule had no effect: Btdge, he would not. The situation was ludicrous in the extreme. His burroship had evi- dently joined the pro-Chinese crowd ; so far as he was concerned the almond-eyed disciple of C0nfucius could remain. The audience was con vulsed with laughter; screams, cat calls, etc, resounded all over the house. While the excitement was at the highest, the member of the troupe who was playing the Chinamafi raised his head from under the pile of dirty clothes; and after a careful survey of the situation, humorously remarked !: "What for the Chinese no go?" For bit of side play it was one of the best things ever seen on any stage.
