HANDSOME PRESENT TO THE COUNCIL
MEN. Last evening, while the members
of the City Council were in their seats,
tIansacting the business of their con-
stituents, neat-looktng package was
quietly placed on each desk by the at
tentive and faithful Sergeant-at-Arms,
AR James Chandler. Removing the
wrapper beautiful glass double ink
stand and valuable gold pen and han
die were revealed to the astonished eyes
of the Councilmen, who looked from
one to the other in mute surprise. 1t
was not until after Council had adjourn
ed that the real donor was discovered,
and only then through the persistency
of Councilman Cowell. Col JACOB
Sn1pLE, the obliging City Clerk, being
the suspected party, he was at once
surrounded, and made to suffer the Pc
nalty of his liberality and graceful mo-
desty, by accepting the warmest thanks
of those who best know how to appre-
ciate the great and self-sacrificing la
bors of the Colonel for the last few
years. All classes and parties unite in
awarding him the mede of praise due
a Woodworking, courteous and faithful
public servant.
JAooB-May thee prosper thousand
years.
P. S.-We didn't git nary pen, nor
nothin'.

Gay" The exhibition of Tableaux an
nounced at National Hall, was given
last evening and proved complete sue
cess, not only in attracting 10 large au-
dience but also in adding goodly sum
to the fund for the purchase of an or
gan for the Pres yterian Church in
Marshall street. The young ladies
certainly deserved success, as every
scene gave evidence of careful atten.
ton to detail and of correct taste in
position aud grouping. With pro-
gramme so uniformly good it is per.
haps unjust to particularize, bnt we re-
call with especial pleasure, "Stolen
Sweet, and His Only Pair. In the

The rich dresses and appropriate cos
tunes which graced Columbus, and

were much remarked upon. "The b.

the whole surmounted by Goddess

programme. Tt, and many that sue
ceeded it were encored and re-propuced
Prof. Henri Bickel, the accomplished
leader of the "Concordia' Singing So
ciety, presided at the piano and en-
livened the intervals between the scenes
with appropriate selections. As we
left the hall we found it hard to con-
ceive how we could have spent more
pleasant evening and we made our way
homeward hoping that every endeavor
OF the ladies who provided this enter
tainment may prove as dec idedly sue
cessful as was this.
