Show Love in the Orient. A ruffian, unfortunately not in custody, hired three Tientsin blackguards to eflect the forcible abduction of a pretty actreea of about 16 yearB of age. The thing was arranged in true melo-dramatio melo-dramatio style. A carriage wai waiting wait-ing round the corner. One of the ruffians pretended to be drunk and knocked against the ohair carrying the girl. A row ensued, the chair was upset, and the girl dragged out of it. Luck ily, among tbe chair coolies there was a Celestial trump who, instead of bolting, stood ovor bis fare and lought the ruffians until tbe police came and grabbed them. Tbe coolie gut bis head broken bad ly and AspaBia's pretty satins and furs got soiled with mud; but the three Tientsin agents ol love are the guests of the municipal council and will continue so for two years.
