Good Guano.

They use guano down in Alabama to
coax the crops along, and man who
sells the best guano gets the most trade.
There is one kind that is awful soon. a
farmer put a sample Of it in his pocket
and started for home. There was car
pet tack in his coat pocket when he put
the guano in there, and when he got
home there was Tar of railroad iron
sticking out of his pocket, which almost
weighed his horse down. He said he
thought he felt something heavy in the
last half of the journey. If some pa
pers should tell this story no one would
believe it.

A DROWNED MAN IN THE DocH-THE FLOAT
ING BopY.-Between seven and eight O'Clock yes
terday morning the body Of an unknown sailor
was found floating, face downwards, in the dock
on South Atlantic wharf, between the American
ship St. Peter and the bark Aloina. 1t was pull
ed upon the wharf, and laid there the greater
part Of the day, but no one could iden'ify the
body. A jury Of inquest was empanelled to in
vestigate the case, but the evidence thus far
epcNed failed TO show who the drowned man is,
and the Jury adjourned until this morning. The
body seems to have been in the water for ten or
fifteen days. The flesh Is all eaten from the race,
and the bair has dropped or from the scalp.
When turned over, his chest was found all covered
with mud. The deceased was dressed in suit OF
gray, and had on two pairs OF pants, the outer
pair being pepper and oals gray. He also wore
TWO shirts, the outer one being blue worsted
kni1sed Guernsey shirt, Of the kind Usually worn
by British sailors. He had small iarroot pipe
in one pocket, and belt around his waist with
sheath, but no knife. Judging from the b>dy the
deceased must have been q man about five feet
eight inches high, stoutly built, and weighing
cbout one hundred and sixty-dve pounds. 1t Is
hoped he will be identified to-day.

An invitation from Mr. Pilsbury TO visit and

Council. AS they left the City Hall, however, the
enthusiasm Of the assembled crowd could be no
longer restrained. Cheer followed upon cheer,
and such wringrg OF hands and general heart'
felt rejoicing has seldom been seen at the City
Hail. By degrees the new officials got across the
souare and entered the Guardhouse. Upon their
arrival they were shown up to the drill nail'
where the police were drawn out 10 full UNIFORM
for inspection. They were fine looking oody OF
men, and made handsome show as the mayor,
esco:t ted by Captain Hendricks, stepped 10 the

pearance. He said he would expect them TO do
their duty fearless'y and respectfully, and that
while they did their duty they would have no

The VoTE FOR ALDERMAN SwEEGAN.-An
unfortunate blunder was made IN reporting
the votes cast for Alderman E. F. Sweegap, a.
the August Municipal election. In tie Sec
ond precinct OF Ward s the straight tickets
numbering 254, upon which Mr.. Sweegan's name
stood, were omitted from the count, and he was
only ere ited with the SO cut tickets upon which
ois name appeared. The consequence Is that
the vote Of the precinct for Mr. Sweegan
stands SO, when 1t should be 2s3, as high
a vote as was cast for any candidate st
that polling place. iddirg in the omitted
264 straight votes, the total vo:e for Alderman
Sweegan is 5eOl, instead Of 5ai7, as reported IN
.kae pub, prints. We may add that the tally OF
me managers, which has been carefully examln-
ed, confirms this statement.
Obvious public considerations prevented the
friends Of Alderman Sweegan from making this
correction at an earlier day. ills 30 be regretted
however, that gentleman so generally respected
and trusted as Alderman Sweegan. should BY an
error, have appeared to run behind ticket upon
which he was one Of the most p palar candi'
dates.
