yesterday snugly ensconced and feeling
quite at home.
The upper story of the Engine House is
divided into six rooms, including a large
open room or hall at the head of the stairs.
The Mayors Office is in the corner room
looking out on to Third and Walnut, and
is 171s feet by is in size. Next to his room
fronting on Walnut Street, is the Clerks
office, and next iSthe Collectors, both of
the same dimensions as the Mayors. The
new Cour Gil Chamber and Recorders Office
| is a section across the back of the building
"a feet wide and 351z feet long. A new
table for the Council has been placed in
the room at the end next Walnut Street
II is of a semi-circular form. Within the
circle against the wall will be the Mayors
chair and desk, and in front of him the
Clerks table. The reporters of the JOUR-
| NAL and Courier have been assigned seats
to the right and left of the Mayor at the
ends of the circular table, where they can
have fair chance to look the Councilmen
in the face, and also to hear all that is said.
The Mayor is so far removed from the
members Of the Council that those who
speak on any subject, will have to speak
out in tones that can be heard by the re-
L
one to rise in his place when he m tkes a
motion or speech, il viii be all the better.
But we digress. Theroom Tor the Superin-
tendent of the public schools fronts on
IThfrd street, by the side of the Mayors
Office, and is III by ID feet. The rooms are
all light and airy, and there is an air of
neatness about the whole building that is
truly refreshing, after having been aceus-
toned tothe dingy, dusty room occupied
heretofore over the post-office, There was
one thing neglected by the contractor. He
forgot to grease the tops of the fiues, SO that
the smoke could get out, and during the
prevalence of the wind, yesterday, the
smoke was inclined to go the wrong way.
This defect can easily be remedied,
THE TABLEAUx TONIGHT glance
at the programme of the Tableaux exhIbi-
ton to be given tonight at Mozart Hall,
we are convinced that it is to be the chef
a. oeutre in that line by the ladies of Ev-
an~vine. The managers are ladies of con-
summate taste and of large experience, and
no pains will be spared to make it an af-
| fair to be proud of; pleasing epoch in life
to look back to. There will be no reserved
seats, and the first to go will obtain the
first choice. We confidently count on a
vast crowd. The Library Association
have kindly arranged for the lecture of
Theodore Tilton to commence precisely at
| 7 O'Clock, so that all who desire, can have
the double pleasure of hearing the Lecture
and seeing the Tableaux. Both entertain-
ments should be well patronized,

RECORDERS CoURT.-His Honor, the Re-
corder inaugurated his new Office yesters
j day with quite rush of business, which
added somewhat to the pecunil ry resource

First of all, Andrew Griffin and Michael
O'Connor, two Spantards, as we should
\ Judge by their names and dialect, who had
4 Jumped y the steamer Kenton at Mem

4 her. got drunk and tl1eys got to fighting.
/ The investigation revealed the fact that
they had no money; but Griffin had ex-
pecsations of some from Squire Stinson s
Office, and gave His Honor an order for it
after which they were let off on condition
of leaving the city. I'll -. 5er ~
Our friend, VIM. Green, wharfmaster
was so forgetful as to leave some of his
drays out In the cold over night. One OF
the new police happened long, saw them
and made complaint. This lapse of memory
on the part OF our friend Green caused HIM
to squander ~" and he viii be more
careful in the future. You bet" Jacob
Meyer, for a similar ofense, was on Tues.
) day required to pay 81 IS.
Anthony Leahen, for an act of public in
decency; had to fork over So 05.
Last of all came Peter Jourdan, who has
been there before, and is likely to return
again. He was charged with having been
i drunk and disorderly, which eliminated
in his hurting a brickbat through the win
dows of the Ethiopian saloon, kept by Cse-
sarAugustus Carter, on Water street, be-
4 tween Vine and Division. He strongly de-
MED the charge, but the testimony of one
white man and three colored citizens fixed
the charge SO. closely that the Recorder an
nounced that it would require S. for the
city, and 81 IS for himself and myrmidons.

get him out of the scrape. When we left

into Committee of the Whole on Ways
and Means, to devise some metho1 of
avoiding going back to Jail
