Row At A HAREu.-The Recorders Scaao.
was attended yesterday by i've Of the
shameless-Mrs. Msggy Seats, and the in
mates Of her Harem, Georgisns Winters,
Lizzie Martin, Julia Griffin, Fanny Ever
more, and Eliza Morton. There was 3
rattle Of ribbons an horticultural show
Of grasses, weeds, and other vegetation in
bonnets with jerked up tips, and hats with
no tip st all fans were waved and para
soils dsngled. The keeper of the Harem,
Maggy Seats, hosted far beyond the fsshy
regions Of sky blue Innings, ~grassy-hued
tippets, and starring red ribbons - her
attire was s~minently respectable-an ample
black silk robe, black bonnet and flowing
black veil. Her jetty hair was parted and
brushed on each side into smooth demure-
ness. Her we'll featured face ives sobered
down TO gravity and a becoming bOldness-
which well set of her black eyes and
lashes-by the skillful use Of pearl powder.
Not a dash Of the rouge so pieBtifully in
dulged in By her satellites, intsrfered with
the soft haliow Of her enameled skin. The
evidence showed that a couple Of officers
acquaintances Of Maggy's when in Chat
tanOoga, and attached 20 the staff Of s Gen
eral, whose name she mentioned, c~alledup-
on her on Friday evening, took some wine'
and played the guitar. This highly moral
and respectable state Of things was inter-
rupted by the entrance Of Charles jenkins,
John Morgan, and William Nyle, who also
called for wine, which they drank but
would not pay for. Respectability now
gave place t. "rOw." Shouts, oaths,
screams and all the racket Of B~acchanalian
disorder ensued. The respectable Maggy
doubled her fair fist, erammed with jeweled
rings, and with a well and stoutly planted
blow, knocked the hapless Eyle on the
floor. A random dash from some other FIST
lsidthe beauteous ~Georgians out, on the
same battle field. The "mirth and fun,
grown fast and furious" brought the pO-
lice to the spot. The door could not be got
opened. Shouts Of "don't kill him" reach
ed their ears, and they proceeded to dash
in a window, that they might prevent muir
der. The rattle Of breaking glass, and the
smash Of the shivered window sash,
arrested the orgies within. SauUe
que peut was the word. Morgan leaped
from a back window, crossed the yard,
jumped a fence with the sgility Of flying
goat, and disappeared. Nyle, not having
time to put on some Of his garments he had
laid aside, slipped out at the back door;
ran up a tree with cat like rapidity got on
the house roof and sat sstride on the ridge,
the early morning breeze blowing out his
shirt like q sail, giving him the appearance
Of an unearthly rider, galloping of on a
huge beast, whose head was q brick chin
ney. Jenkins kept quiet and =" lay low"
The whole, however, were brought before
"his honor" to whom all these nocturnal
adventures were narrated by the actors, the
lockers on, and the police. The respectable
head Of the harem, Maggy Seats, was fined
ten dollars Morgan the jumper, and Nyle
the fearless rooster on the house top, had
similar amounts to pay. Jenkins, who laid
low, and the ribboned and painted guests
Of Maggie-Julia and Eliza, Fanny and
G~eorgisnR, got of unfned and Vnreolaimed.
