LOCAL AND GENERAL. YESTERDAY, says the San Francico Alta of August agth, was a kind of All-souls-day with the Chinese. It was a day of peace offerings to evil spirits, who, according to Chinese theories, would, if not propitiated, annoy the souls of the Chinese dead. For several days past, the Chi nese in this city were busy preparing food and light raiment for the devils, and wagon loads were sent yesterday to the Chinese Cemetery with pagan priests, the relatives and friends of the departed following on hacks and other con

veyances.

The religious services consisted principally in placing roast pig, cake and other

edibles on the tomb, and finally gathering them and taking them back to Chinatown for the .up

They returned to the office yester day and asked him, complainant, for payment which he refused, as Mr. Sharp had told him not to pay. Defendants abused him and wanted to charge him with not having paid them their fare; he accordingly sent an office boy for a constable and gave them in charge. There were four coolics on Sunday. After the above statement, Captain Thomsett very properly, we think, ordered the complainant to pay the defendants $1.80 that being their legal fare, and further to pay 20 cents trying to collect their just fees, and their detention compensation to each man for the time lost in for one night at the Police Station.
