Subsequently the Committee took the Admiral and
suite 10 the Councilmens room, but left the United
States oficers-Mayor Tiemann, to whom they had
not been introduced, mstook them for Turks-and they
left alone in the Governors ROOM An hour after.

The following named gentlemen woge then appointed
committee to communicate to the visitor the tenor Of
| the resolution, and to invite him into the Council
| Chamber: Messrs. Van Tine Webb, Bunce, Dunn
| and Muligan.
The Committee went out, but speedily returned with
| the distinguished guests Tho American gentlemen
then and there present summay ordered to take
off their hats which they did, the Mayor removing bis
| chspeau with the others. Somebody called on the
Honorable Committee to report, which the honorable
Committee replied to by triumphanty pointing to the
distinguished guests who had neekly submitted to
their capture by the five re1oubtable%of the Honorable
| Committee
| The distinguished guests, who evidently men Of
intelligence, of course puzzled what to make OF
the whole performance; they had come to America to
| zee and not to be made a show OF. But they were
toted into the ring, for exhibition while the eager
multitude damned themselves into hard knot on the
butsids Of the failing their frantic struggles 10 see
the distinguished guests punching each others rbs
with insane fury, and oonsgning each others bodies
and bones and eyes and hearts and souls to places
liable to conAagraon to afford not the slightest
coruagement to Insurance Companies. The distia-
guished guests who had heard of Yankee shrewdness
in the sublime art Of monsy-gettng, looked wSily
| about them evidently with shrewd suspicion that
some was taking money at the DOOR.
| Such, however was not the case, We believe. The
public was permitted to stare at the distinguished
guests, unrammeled by any pecuniary considerations.
When the distinguished guests had got fairly into
| the ROOM Alderman Booe vaisnty entered the ring
with them, and to the shuddering wonder OF the
crowd, in the most daring manner assumed the perlous
office of lon-poker-up. The Turkish lion is not, how
ever, man-destroying quadruped, and the reckless
Alderman came scsheless from his Deious task, and
| odded off unframed, but not till that daring man
| had done such deeds never Alderman before at
tempted. He marched the distinguished guests up
and down. and trotted them around the room, that al
| might behold them, the crOwd-those that could see
gInnipg fesrully and those that couldn't, Intellectually
| pitching into those that could. When ths bold Booe
| had majescay psraded his charges up one side Of
the little space, and had grandly marched them down
the other he at last unanswered them up the plat
folm at the honorable end Of the room, and parad-d
them in line FOR the more unmpeded inspection of the
audience.
Va ,Tipe circulated through the crowd, giving thoae
who LED bad places chance to crowd into the good
! one ., % swakng in the bosoms Of those who were
crsvi. cent Of the good places unquenchable wrath.
SIS ss'last obtained something like order, duipg
which interval the courageous Booe punched the lions
mildly.
Jonas n. Philips then arose and in an embarrassed
manner manifested desire TO do something; the crowd
condescended for minute to turn their greedy eyes
from the distinguished guests and gaze on the dstin-
| suished ex-Councilman.
Then Phillips:
| FELLOW. CITizKSs: have the pleasure II intro
ducisg to you Rear Admiral Mohmned Pashs of the
| Turkish Navy Gentlemen will rise please and pay
| they respects TO the guests Of the city"
as the gentlemen were already stsntEng, they could
only obey the mandate Of imperious Phillips TO rise
byelevating themselves on tiptoe-which they did.
oh, then up leaped the gallant Boole, majestic
sweetncss in bis eye. and grandeur in his mighty arm
