somewhat of the character of general
celebration and holiday.

All KEE WAS HIS NAME.
For Ways that are Dark and Tricks tina
are Vain He's Peculiar.

For Ways that are Dark and Tricks that
are Vain He's Peculiar.
D. La Fontain, who is employed as a
barkeeper in a Jstreet saloon, quarreled
with All Kee, the Chinese cook of the
establishment, on Friday morning, over a
trivial matter. Words led to blows, and
the barkeeper punched the heather several
times in the face with his fist.
All Kee was fighter, and not being able
physically to revenge himself upon the
belligerent barkeeper, resorted TO the law.
He had La Fontain arrested, and in order
that his thirst for revenge might be fully
satisfied, he swore that the barkeeper had
used a Ratchet upon him.
This was a serious charge, and when the
case came up in Justice Henry's Court,
yesterday, quite a number of spectators
were there.
Assistant District Attorney Bruner repre-
scented the people, and was prepared to do
his duty in the matter, and send the
hatchet-wielder to jail if found guilty.
The Chinaman took the witness-stand
and began to swear away his enemys lib
erty in true Chinese fashion. He described
wildly the flashing of the deadly Ratchet
through the air, and its subsequent coils
ion with his person.
1t was almost horrible murder-accord-
ing to the Chinaman's story.
Kee was getting along swimmingly with
his testimony, when Judge Henry sud-
denly asked him where the Ratchet struck
him. The witness replied that the first
blow caught him on the cheek near the
nose, and the second penetrated his left
arm.
Lets see your face" said the Judge.
The heather reluctantly faced his Honor.
There was not even a scratch to be seen ON
his face. The Judge then told the witness
to roll up his sleeve and show his arm.
This was also found to be intact, not
bruise or mark being visible.
Kee tried to explain that the Ratchet
was very dull one, but it was no go. Mr..
Bruner was disguised, and moved tor the
acquittal of La Fontain, saying that it was
more than evident that the Chinaman did
not know what the truth was.

furnished free of charge at Folsom. He
was thoroughly dissatisfied with our pres
ent system aud hoped for improvement.
Z. K. Alsip believed in immediate action,
and cited the necessity of identifying our
streets. He was an earnest advocate of the
projected Improvements, and hoped that
all residents would look with favor upon
the present agitation. Mr.. Alsip introduced
the following resolution. which was unani-
mously adopted
Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting
that the streets be improved, and that COM
mittee of seven be appointed by the Chair TO
wait on the Trustees and ask them to refrain
from action until property owners have decided
as to the method of improvement
The Chairman appointed the committee
as follows; Messrs. Alsip. Briggs, Hoga-
boom, Chatfeld, hatcher, De Pue and
Brown.
A petition was then opened and signed
by nearly all present, after which remarks
were made by John hatcher, W. o. Erle-
wine and others.

BATTERY B."
The Title One of the Infantry Companies
Would Prefer.

WOuIU HreIer.
An effort is being made to equip Com
pany B, n. G. O, of this city, as battery.
If the effort IS successful, the rifles they
now use will be discarded and the men will
be taught the batteiy drill and the handling
of cannon. Two cannons are at the armory
here and can be used, and Adjutant-Gen-
eral orion says he believes two more large
guns can be obtained from the battery COM
pany of the Second Regiment at San Fran
cisco. This company has six and is only
using four, so that it is thought the remain
ing two can be brought here.
Captain Cook of Company B, says he
would much rather have his company drill
with cannon exclusively, than to have part
of his men skilled in this line, and the rest
riflemen.

The Free Library was broken into sew

value was taken. Entrance was gained by
prying open the rear doors of the building
with a crowbar. A number of drawers
were ransacked and the safe tempered with,
but the night-prowlers evidently did not
strike anything they considered worth
carrying off, and left in disgust.

AUSTRALASIA.
There is no diminution in the interest
taken in the movement for the federation
of the colonies, but, on the contrary, the
proposal is growing greatly in favor
There have been several large meetings in
various parts of the colony at which the
subject was considered. The obstacles to
union are being gradually swept away.
Perhaps the most important development
of the last fortnight in this connection has
been letter sent by the Premier of New
South Wales to the head of the Govern
ment of Victoria. In that letter Sir Henry
Parkes points out that New South Wales
now offers her hand to the other colonies,
without reserve and without stipulation
for any advantage to herself, and invites
them to meet on equal ground in the
great cause of Australian union. An in
terchange of ideas has taken place be-
tween the Premiers of several of the colo
MES as to the city in which the proposed
intercolonial conference shall be held.
There has been an expression of opinion
in favor of Hobart, Tasmania, but in con-
sequence of the objection of Sir Henry
Psrkes, it is possible that the other repre-
sentatives will agree to the proposed feder-
alton conference being held in one of the
other colonies.
The Government Of Queensland has ac-
cepted the tender of the British India AS
sociated Steamer Company, Limited, for a
tap-krot mail earvicp hv
steamer between London and Brisbane,
and vice versa, via Torres Straits, at the
rate of f19 500 per annum, reserving to the
Government the right of altering the con-
tract to a fortDightly ten-knot service at
the rate of f32, 500 per annum, after giving
six months notice.
The New Zealand and South Seas Ex-
hibition at Dunedin was opened on No.
vember och by the Governor, the Earl of
Onslow, in the presence of large and
brilliant assemblage, including visitors from
all parts of New Zealand and Australia.
The exhibition has been attended with
great success.
The various trades of New Zealand are
taking active steps to form unions.
A serious fire is reported to have occurred

now that the Citrus Fair Committee do not
