An OUTRAGE.-We learn that on Mon-
day a Chinaman VINO works at Fort
Townsend was out alone near there when
he was met and attacked by man and
a boy who knocked him down, pummeled
him with their fists, aud finished up by
dragging him around by tue queue till il
was pulled out by the roots. He returned
to the fort in q sorry plight with his
queue in his hand, his face all battered
up, and pitiful story. He has since
wanted to come TO Port Townsend, but
is afraid to venture out The perpetra-
tors of the outrage ought to be punished
to the full extent of lie law. Such
brutal maltreatment of poor heathens is
cowardly, malicious and criminal in the !
extreme.
JAPANESE TEA PAETY.-On Tuesday
evening March 9th, at the Good Templars'
Hall in Port Townsend, the ladies Of the
Episcopal Guild will give an unique ,
called Japanese tea {
party. Like all amusements of a kindred
nature this will of course be a grand
affair, and being the last day OF grace
before the austere Lenten season, 1t will
of course be well patrorized. The pro-
gramme Will consist os music. tableaux,
chHrades, pantomines, etc, and will end
up with tempting supper, the feature
of the evening. The japanese part of
the thing consists in this, that you pay
so cents for your supper and drink your
tea or coffee out Of a japanese bowl and
saucer, all of which, including japanese
napkin belongs to you ever afterwards.
For the young man who has 'best
girl" there will be side table for the
sale of ice cream, and this tropical ,
luxury viii add two bits more to the cost 7
bill. II twill be seen from this description. !
that japanese tea party is something
new to us who have been led to think
that New England tea party was the
orthodox caper, and in this progressive
age We should ''embrace" every kind of
tea party.
