On the night of July 2, 1877,
during a hoodlum riot in,. San Fran
cisco, a Chinese wash-rhoiise situated
on Devisadero. street, in the "western
addition, was attacked by a gang of
wretches. All tap occupants with one
exception escaped, though several
allots were fired'at them by their as
sailants. One who failed to get
away was barricaded in the building,
which was then set on fire and con
sumed, and the bones of the unfortu
nate Chinaman, were found in the
iims. Since that time the marshal
and police have been on, the trail of i
the perpetrators, and engaged from
time to time in gathering evidence
agamst them. They now believe ths$,
they have sufficient testimony in han$i
to secure the conviction of, the offen
ders, and on Monday George C. Mil
ler, John C. Minkel, Wm. K. Ceve
shal, Patric Cronan and Joseph Barry
-were lodged in the city prison, charg
ed with arson. There is one other
who will be arrested. All are well

well enough in the opinion of his
physicians to stand the fatigue of the
long jovyney. He believes that the

Bismarck and Herr Lasker quar
ried violently in the reichstag Saturr
day h consequence of the prinqe
h&viog attacked the liberals for favor
ing indicial leniency. Puring the
same debate Bismarck ostentatiously
quitted the house twice to avoid tbe

jZ&'There is a quiet courtesy and
modest unobtrusiveness about a wise

reader. We all like to oe solicited, and
it is natural to suppose that he who
most politely, clearly and persistently
solicits us, stands the better chance for
our trade. The familiar advertisements
of local papers often cover these points
with, great tact and ingenuity.
