OH! DEM GOLDEN SLIPPERS.

Oh, my golden slippers am laid away,
Kase l don't spect to wear 'em till my
weddin' day.

But de darkies all say we will hab good

Oars ole Brudder Ben and Sister Luce,

And yer ulster coats, why ser will not

But yer golden slippers must be nice
and clean,
And yer age must be just sweet sixteen,
And yer white kid gloves ger will have

When yer ride up in de chariot in de
morn.

Extremely Nsg'tg"c Costume,

Early Sunday morning a row occurred in the house at No. 1 Pardee street which aroused the neighborhood and so alarmed the landlady of the house that she called Patroman Bright to arrest two of her boarders who were making the disturbance. The two men were Antonio Risckos and Antonio Sparisl1y, two peddlars who board there. The two men had imbibed rather freely Sat urday night and as the liquor began to get In it's work they grew scrappy. They were fighting when the landlady called the policeman. Patrolman Bright called Patrolman McGuinness to his as- sistance and the two officers placed the two fighting boarders under arrest
 When the policemen entered the house they found Rischos clothed only in his shirt They ordered him to dress before going to the lookup, but he refused to dress and accordingly was bundled in- to the patrol wagon in his extremely negligee costume. His clothes were taken along by the policemen and at the police station he dressed.

The foregoing statement read with Consul | Warren's dispatch to the foreign office | on Saturday. makes it possible to be- | lieve that the legations will hold out for a number of days yet. Having | fought to a standstil the first outburts of fanatical fury, it Is believeable that something may intervene to save them. The news. after the sinister rumors of the last ten days, is enough upon which to build up hopes. Tien Tsin is still hard pressed. A Chinese force number ing from S0000 to 100000 men, as esti mated by inconclusive reconnaisances, floods the country round about Tien Tsin, communication between which place and Taku is apparently possible by river only.
 A Che Foo dispatch to the Express says the Russians have landed 5000 men at Taku and the Japanese have discharged several transports The Japanese pushed on to Tien Tsin lead ing in the subsequent assault upon the native city, in which their commander was killed. Ten more transports are engaged at Japanese ports. With the 1000 British India troops afioat and fresh Japanese contingents, it is quite probable that the allies will have 50,00O men ashore.
