Rebel Fun.

After Eli Perkins had finished his
Grand Army lecture in Little Rock a
party of old Confederate soldiers
shouted out:
"Tell us some rebel stories-we had
more fun than the Yanks."
That's right" said Eli. "There is
no better way to heal old wounds
than to laugh together over old war
, stories.
"You all know old Colonel Zebu-
Ion Vance-old Zeb, of the Army of
Virginia ?"
"You oct we do-tnree cheers for
old Zeb Vance !" (Given with will)
"Well, old Zeb," continued Eli,
"received a squad of raw rebel re-
cruits from the mountains of North
Carolina, and during the skirmishes
around Washington ordered them into
battle for the first time.
"Take stand on Monson's HILL
he said, sand scare those Yanks away?
"sSkeer them Yanks off, repeated
the sergeant; swe' uns KEN all the way
heah from North kayalena ter whip
them Yanks, an eff we skcer' um off
how'n thunder ez we gwine to lick
um p" (Laugbter.)
About a week after this one of these
same North Carolina recruits was on
picket duty near Manassas. There
was not Yankee within twenty miles
of him at that time The next day
there was to be an inspection, and the
North Carolinan had taken his gun
all to pieces and was rubbing it up SO
as to make shine when inspected.
While doing this Gen. Barham rode
up.
"What are you doing there p said
Gen. B.
"Oh 1 am a kind of sentinel. Who
are you anyhow ?"
"Oh l am only kind of a briga-
dier- general, was the answer.
"Hold on" said the sentinel; wait
until get this darned old gun to-
gether and l will give you kind of a
present arms" (Laughter.)
One day Colonel Moseby, your only
fully reconstructed rebel, was making
a political speech in Alexandria.
"Talk about my war record" said
the colonel. Why, gentlemen, car
ried the last Confederate flag through
this very town"
was here at the time.
"Thank you for your fortunate rec
objection, gratefully exclaimed Moseby
at is pleasant to know that there still
live some men who move aside envy
and testify to the courage of their fel-
low beings. AS say, gentlemen, my
war record is part of the States his
tory for the gentleman here will tell
you that l carried the last Confederate
flag through this town.
"That's fact" said Fitz Hugh Lee.
He carried the last Confederate flag
through this town, but Fitzpatrick and
Ellsworth were after him, and he car
ried it SO blamed fast you couldn't
have told whether it was the Confeder-
ate flag or smallpox warming"
Speaking of rebel repartee, said Eli,
the worst stab our old Yankee Radical
Thad. Stevens, ever got was given to
him by your old fire eating Bob'roombs,
of Georgia. They met in Auguta af-
ter the war. Thad was ranking over
loss of his Carlisle furnaces, burned by
the Rebs in '63, and Toombs was
ranking at everything in general.
"Well, Mr.. Toombs," said old, Thad
in sauntering tone, chow do you reb-
els feel alter being licked by the Van
KEGS ?"
owe feel, suppose, good deal as
Lazarus did," said the Georgia fire
eater.
"How is that ?"
"Why, Thad., poor Lazarus was

The manner in which the machinery
of the courts is made use of by Chinese
slaves is certainlya disgrace to Califor-
MIA.
The latest case which has come to
light is that OF the arrest of Nee Lee,
the Chinese girl, in San Diego recently.
Constable Harry johnson, who made
the arrest. did not know that he was 90.
ing to seize Chinese girl slave when he
he started to serve the warrant
The complaint in the case was sworn
to by Alb Sing. All Sing is really a
highbinder who lives in San Diego, and
wohse real name is Him All Why, but
who came up here on purpose to get
pretty Nee Lee arrested, then to have
her discharged or bailed, while away
from her friends, and so get her in his
clutches and turn her into human mer-
chandise.
Nee Lee was to be married on
Friday to, All Yuen, but the arrest
spoiled her wedding day. All Sing, alias
Him Ah Why, was to have returned to
this city with the officer, but when he
learned that johnson saw through his
game and would not lend himself to the
plot, All Why became frightened and
staid in San Diego.
Nee Lee and All Yuen came up from
San Diego ON the same train, and their
artless love-making and mutual adora-
ton occasioned much amusement to the
passengers, and awakened great
amount OF sympathy for the two lovers.
When Nee Lee was given into the
charge of Mrs. Watson on Saturday, it
was thought that her troubles were over
and that the wedding would soon take
place. But the law was again to be de-
based by lending itself to Him All Why's
base scheme, for the latter swore out a
warrant in San Diego for the arrest of
the lover, All Yuen,, and he was taken
back to the city of bav'nclimate to an
swer some trumped.up charge.
The fate of little Nee Lee seems to be
settled. 1t is more than probable that
the highbinders who have sought to
gain possession of her will finally sue
ceed, for they can keep up the game OF
swearing out complaints and having the
girl arrested until she will at last find
herself in their power.
Constable Johnson, who as soon as he
discovered what was going ON, notified
the authorities and so for time least,
blocked Him All Why's game, was yes
terday approached by Chinaman who
offered him large sum of money if he
would assist in the plan to enslave the
little girl. The constable's reply was
such an emphatic negative that the
mongol went down, stairs three steps at
time.

THE RAILROADS.
MIKE WELSH IN TROUBLE FOR
RATE-CU ING.
The Scalping Knife Evidently Being Used
in San Francisco-News Notes and
Gossip.

The charges and counter charges OF
passenger rate-cutting came to head
yesterday. Michael Welsh, the local
general agent of the Missouri Pacific, is
accused of cutting the rate on two tick
cts to Boston from $67. 80 to $64.70. The
tickets are in the hands of Assistant
General Passenger and Ticket Agent
Donaldson, T. H. Goodman being still
absent from his Office on account of ill
ness. 1t is little difficult to under
stand how the cut could have been made,
as Welsh is an agent of the Southern
Pacific company. The fact remains,
however, that the cut was made. When
questioned yesterday Welsh said he had
heard that charges had been preferred
against him. He also knew that several
unsuccessful attempts had been made
to catch him making a cut rate by
competitors. With regard to the two
tickets mentioned, Welsh could only
place one. He said that the ticket
agent of another road came into his
office with passenger, and he sold him
a ticket to Boston, receiving the full
price paid for it. After the passenger
had gone, the agent may have paid a
rebate, and so what is tantamount to a
cut may thus have been made. He de-
clares that no ticket has been sold over
his counter or by his authority at cut
rate. In the Union Pacific offices, as in
all the other ticket agencies, the facts of
the case were extensively discussed. A
cut in rates cost ]. S. Leeds, the general
manager OF the Missouri Pacific, his
position, and if the facts alleged can be
proved, there will be trouble in the
local offices of the company. A state
ment tending to bear out what Welsh
says is made by a well-known railroad
man, to the effect that he knew posi-
lively nf another man in another Office
who had certainly cut the Boston rate,
whether the Missouri Pacific agent did
so or not.
The plans for the new depot at Stock
ton have been completed, and bids will
be called for in a few days.
On or about August 1st the Southern
Pacific company will refuse to haul any
freight cars not provided with auto
matte air brakes. This action is taken
on account of the number of accidents
which have occurred through, hauling
cars with hand brakes only on trains
equipped for air. Cars which are merely
piped to give air connections, as well as
other common cars, will not be accepted
on the company's lines.
John L. Truslow, general agent of the
Santa Fe at Santa Barbara, is in town
today.
The case of the Terminal railroad
against the Temple heirs will be heard
by Judge Smith on Thursday morning.
