THE EXIT OF 'ARRY.

The latest inforihiation anent the movements of this precious pair of pigtail — pSlate-pleasers twists things round somewhat. . Appears that Chow) chef Harry'hasleft •' the Occidental., With a ; sinful disregard of the -bless- * ing of 'being- able to work fora real .white man like .proprietor Perry be has packed his smellful sack and hied him away' to the gardens' of his countrymen outside . Christchurch, there to grow* the harmless,' neces- I sary spud and" cabbagee he .used -to prepare for' the .Occidental table. There is abundant sorrow at . the Hereford-street hostelry, the only one who grieveth not and has no Kneed for being comforted being the absent Harry's late Ohow Chum .Jim. Rumor hath it that Jinihas been promoted to the vacant -chef-ship, and has a foreign white devil dodging round as his understrapper^. Anyway the blow might haves been worse.' People who^jiMke 'having their foodstuffs mauled .and manipulated by Chows may still rely upon the same ! conditions ruling 'as has. been the case hitherto.
