His to be hoped that the offenders will be severely punished. TO-DAY (June 20th) being the fifth day of the fifth moon, 1st day of the Dragon Festival, is observed as a general holiday. Crowds, of Chinese are prowling about the island of Kulangse with their children for recreation. Many of them on the Amoy site have been standing all day in large groups on the hills facing the sea, watching the Dragon boat races, each boat being pulled by 30 or 40 men to the sound of the drum; others have amised themselves in cargo-boats by accompany ing the Dragon boats at a respectful distance, re- freshing themselves with sweet-cakes, fruits and such other delicacies as are to be found in the Chinese earthly paradise. The air has been filled with the noise of much discordant music. This festival continues for two more days, con- mencing each day at about one o'clock in the afternom and concluding at sunset.--dwer Gazette.
steamship Sarpedon, and Edward Kinch, of Ireland, a seaman helonging to the steamship Fernwood, were chargeel this morning before Mr. Wodehouse, with being drunk and incapable yesterday. The Magistrate fined then 50 cents each, with the option of a day in the lock-up. PROFESSOR and Mdme, Thuzet and their litninu- tive daughter Jeanne, late of Signor Chiarini's Circus, in conjunction with a Chinese company, have been giving performances at the Ko Shing Theatre for some time lack. The clever tricks of the talented Thunet family have been much admired, and have been witnessed by large au diences. Mdme Thyzet has been performing the canon trick, as perfomed in Chiarini's Circus by Mille Lotta, the lady with the irim jaws, the firing of the cannon, while suspended from the lady's mouth, being received by the West; End Chinese with many “hai yahs.” We wish the professor and his wife and daughter a sec cessful season. A cleverer acrobatic performance than that given by the Thuzet family it has never fallen to our lot to witness.

THE AMERICAN MAI..
ONE of the dryest American jokers of the day is Jutge Allen A. Bradford, of the Pueblo Bar. He is a little eccentric, but withal one of the best lawyers in the Far West. He was conducting a case a few years since before a judge to whom he with a plentiful luncheon provided at the country's expense. And many people would be took a dislike. The judge was undecided in his greatly surprised if, after laing fel through the rulings; would change his conclusions every time long corridors of the new Royal Courts of Justice, the opposite lawyer would argue a point.

We are not accustomed, says the Call, to go to Massachusetts for opinions averse to Chinese immigration, although the time may come when the Massachusetts factory operatives arc supplanted by coolies-that the people will have their eyes open to the evil they are now defending. It is possible that they are beginning to see the error of their ways, since we have the following from so influential a paper as the Boston Journal, in its comments on General Butler's “open letter" John Russell Young: His objection is that the Chinaman absorbs the wealth of the country in his wages, which, instead of spending like other laborers for the support of himself and his family,
The fact of the ease is that some of the hardest part of a Judge's work is that transacted by him When sitting is Chambers, Take the Comman Law Division for cample.

Now this is all changed, and a list of applications being made Fout every day, each man knows his own turn, At the Royal Courts there is now a lofty and com. modious entrance hall, on one side of which is a broad archway where, at a gate is a low naken railing partitioning it off stands stalwart offi- cial admit applicants in their turn.

Many boxes of letters are received at the Post Office not sealed, that is to say, the box is fastened with scaling wax, but there is no impression of a

The attention of boxholders is called to the necessity of carefully scaling such boxes with some recognisable scal, and of sending a chit- book or receipt with them.
