IMpUDENT TRAMps. Three men, Of party
of FIVE who have been loungiug about the city
for week or so past, were arrested this morn
ing and locked up in the station house to await
an examination by the Mayor this evening.
They Went TO gentemans house at the up
per end of Prince street this morning and
begged for breakfast, aud because they were
not furnished with as large supply OF bread
aud meat as they wanted, became exceeding
impudeut and grossly Insulting to the lady OF
the house. Upon questioning them IN their
cells, they intorlned tho reporter that they
were Irom the North aud were on their way to
Richmond and Norfolk, at which latter port
some of them Intended shipping. Their stories;
however. were So contradictory that no belief
could be put 10 them.
MADE TO PAY.-Somc excitement was &C
occasioned at the upper end Of King street,
last night by two young men hailing from Wash
ington, who after riding about town IN a car
rage belonging to Chatham's livery stable, at
tempted to blk the driver Of his fare. The
latter however, raised hue and cry, aud Po-
liceman Webb soon had them 10 charge. To
avoid trip to the station house, they paid the
driver what they owed him, and left the city
with altered opinions Of its police force.
STREET RAILROAD. Now that the horses
of the Passenger Railroad Company have been
sold, and the cars stored away, there are nu-
merous assertions of willingness to contribute
literally towards any plan by which the road
can BE- put in operation again. 1t is earnestly
hoped that some meaus may be hit upon by
which the running of the cars can be resumed,
for their stoppage is regretted by all.
The YATcH COLUMBIA The new yatch
Columbia, whose passage up the river was
noticed 10 the Gazette last week, stopped here
yesterday afternoon, on her Way down to sait
water. Her owners-the Columbia Fishing
Club, of Washington, who we're on board, bound
On pleasure excursion, spent few hours with
their friends in this ity.
The CANAL.-Some unknown parties threw
the Gaping stones of one Of the canal locks luto
the lock few nights ago and so prevented the
use of the gates, until the water was let off and
the obstruction removed. The canal is now in
good order and boats are expected TO reach here
by 1t to morrow.
EAST ALEXANDRIA. For the first time
since the ferry scow between this city and East
Alexandria stopped running, train of cars
was seen at the latter place to-day, and persons
from there say that the Quantico, or Southern
mail boat, will certainly commence landing
there tonight.

ing to-day the Clerk of the City School Board
had issued 347 permits, 2I5 for boys, and 1872
| for girls. This is ~ more than last year. To-
morrow is the last day for issuing permits to
white children.
PALMERs PATENT JACQUELINE CORSET
This is the most perfect fitting corset ever Of
tered to the public. 1t has received the high
who have tried it, aud say 1T is the best fit
ting corset We have ever tried.
Dress Makers recommend it as being the best
corset to fit a dress over, because 1t is cut IN
such manner that the front acd back seams lit
like seams to dress
And it is superior to any other corset now IN
use, because its peculiar style OF cutting gives
sufficient ullness at the bosom, without fold
ng at the top: gradually and closely fitting to,
aud over the hips, is longer front and back than
ordinary corScts, and 10 fact is the ouly corset
cut in this form.
We ask particular attention to our method
Of fastening bones in our corset, acknowledged
superior to any other
We also claim this to be the hes, made cor
set ever offered to the trade. We use nothing
but the best material 10 its construction We
do not use anything but the very best quality
