Two Chinamen were looking into a Kearny street shop-window, when a mischievous small boy slipped up behind them with an impish grin on his physiognomy and tied the two pig. tails together. The rogue then seated himself on a hydrant near by to wait the fun. Presently one of the heathen started on his way down the street, but of course came to a sudden halt when the limit of the tails was reached. His surprise was only equalled by that of his countryman. For a second both glared at each other. ’J hen perceiving the cause of their predicament, sitting on the hydrant convulsed with laughter, they simultaneously made a rush for him. Of course the boy ran. The Chinamen, their queus still securely fastened together as the young imp left them, followed at a breakneck speed, yelling vociferously at the youngster. Presently they came to a telegraph post, one going on cither side. There wns ■ crark and a thwack, and the little heathens rebounded with a force that threw them, feet up, about fifty yards in opposite directions.—A lying American paper. .Remember This.
