Three A merican actresses—a mother and two daughters—calling themselves the Zavistowski sisters, have been obtaining a little cheap notoriety by assaulting a sharebroker named Murphy, at Sandhurst. The latter seems to have spoken in rcprehensibly disparaging terms of one of the young ladies across a tea-tabTc at a lodging-house in which another actress was residing. The mischievous tittle-tattle was eagerly conveyed to the ears of the person whose reputation was compromised by it, and “Zaristowski” were, accompanied by her daughters, sallied out one fine moruing in search of the calumious sharebroker. Him they discovered in the midst of a crowd of brokers, in the busiest part of Sandhurst, at the busiest hour of the day, and, over his devoted head the elder lady broke her parasol, while one of the younger ones gently chastised him with her fan. Of course the real punishment consisted in the ridiculous position in which Murphy was placed. He could not retaliate. He could only fiv. However, he summoned the belligerent trio to the police co»vt T where the magistrate ?u dieted on them the nominal fine of Is. only, considering that the provocation had been great.— Australasian.
