The Committee of Fifteen held
meeting yesterday, in which a genera
plan was agreed on for working out re-
forms. The committee propose to obtain
the support of every taxpayer in the
county, and roll up a force that will bt
sufficiently strong TO achieve the re-
quired reforms.
Most likely it was the same set o
thieves that robbed Mr.. McComb, il
one quarter, and Mr.. Hays, in another
that entered the sleeping-apartments O
Messrs. James Kendall and NJ. Howard
on BeaIe street, Tuesday night, anC
went through their pockets, taking
watches, jewelry and money very
freely.
That was a vile reprobate of a black
man who stole away Nancy Smith from
the parental roof in Chelsea. His name
is George Briant, stout, black, ugly, {
labOrer from necessity and an idler from
choice-he does both alternately. The
girl is twelve years old, and her father
offers a reward of twenty dollars for hel
recovery.
Seven hundred tons of ice arrived
on a barge at the foot of Union street
Yesterday. 1t came from the Illinois
river. There are two hundred thousand
mint tulips, one hundred thousand
punches, and half a million ice creams
in this cargo. When retailed out it VIII
represent a value equal to twenty thou
sand dollars. Let US have two straws
with that lemonade.
Last night a regular Egyptian swarm
of bugs, of all sizes, cOlOrs and shapes,
was gently waited across the river from
the Arkansas side, and beat against the
roofs and sides of the houses in count
,ess thousands. Wherever a light APP

The thanks of the Confederate Re
lief and Historical Association are due
to Mr.. A. Davis for his generosity in
agreeing to sprinkle the grounds and
| furnish all the water needed at James's
Park on Saturday, the eighteenth in
slant, the occasion of the grand Confed-
crate picnic. Such liberality is worthy
of mention, as it is an expensive job.
| No pains will be spared to make said
picnic the grandest affair of the season.
"A beautifully got-up lunch from the
ladies conducting the Congregational
church festival, in the Jackson Block,
| found its devious but pleasant way right
under the senses of our man of dietary
aesthetics. After he had lightly thrown
his digits over the various items of
which it was composed, those present
became impressed with the idea that it
was a beautifully got dOlOB lunch. The
ladies deserve well for their taste.
We find that the Aiken House, at
Hot Springs is becoming the most pop
Ular resort there. 1t is crowded and will
be well filled under its present manage
ment, from all we learn, during the
summer months. Captain Billy White,
u Tie OLElldAn lOAIcE ID dl AllIo lllElE
staying there, and we know his friends,
who are legiOns, will hunt him up when
they get there. The Akin is a good
house, and We must advise Hot Springs
"seekistSn to stop at the Aiken. We
are pleased to learn Of Captain Whites
improved condition, and have hopes of
0 seeing him at his old post at the
WOrsham House.
There is at last a plan for getting
the city out of debt. Concealed weap-
Ons. There is "a mint o. money" in
them. Yesterday the Recorder jerked
se~venty-five dollars out of two Offend
ers. Seventy-five dollars out of every
two would be seventy-five thousand out
of every couple thousand. The city viii
afford two thousand cases every day on
an average from now TO the frost. If
the matter is properly worked, the city's
debt may be paid off in that way by
next Christmas. Here, gentlemen of
the city cOnclave of paternal wisdom, is
a suggestion worth many speeches,
which is offered free, and no fame or
praise required.
A little white girl was taken to the
statiOn-hOuse on Adams street last even
ing by a Mrs. Taylor, who exhibited to
the Mortified officials the lacerated back
and neck of the little thing, and said
that the girl had beenleft by her parents,
who were migrating TO Arkansas, with
DR.. HinsOn, where she was whipped
and scoUrged and otherwise badly
treated. Mrs. Taylor wanted to take
the girl herself, which she did, to her
house, 294 Third street. If the wrongs
and injuries complained of can be laid
to5the charge of any one, in the manner
represented by Mrs. Taylor, the authOri-
ties ought to look into it. Recorder
Winters would not be transcending the
bounds of duty in sending a policeman
for the little girl this morning, and in
stituting a thorough inquiry into the
whole business.
An owner has been found for an
other of the watches which Sergeant
McElroy found in a disreputable house
Charleston avenue. A gentleman
named J. w. Hays, having read in the
APPEAL an account Of the recovery of
the watches by the officer in question, |
sent a letter to Captain Athy, in which
he saws that his house was entered in
the nighttime, two weeks since, though
the door was locked at the time and the

was stolen, and several other valuables, |
Ii is the identical one which Captain
Athy has. The nippers which were
on Hastings were used, no doubt, |
in unlocking the door from without.
Mr.. Hays writes from Trenton, in this
State, where the robbery took place.
A tall man Of heroic aspect, en-
ployed a very Woodworking washer
woman to cleanse twelve pieces for him
at a cost of one dollar andtwenty cents.
He called at the wOmans house in Pinch,
last night, to get his clothes, but wished
to pay only a dollar. She insisted on
the other twenty cents, whenhe abused
her, saving she was a liar and would
steal he believed, in fact, that she was a
thief. The woman did not like this,
and raising a billet of wood, let the he
role chap have a taste of it over the
head. He drew out a pistol and affairs
were becoming decidedly squally when
the police arrived and carried the heroic
man to the stationhOuse with his bun
lie of clothes. Forty dollars and a pis-
toll served as a forfeit for his appearance
before the Recorder this morning.
