are steadfastly opposed to anything o
the sort, and the movement failed
The prudence and good sense of th'
laborers saved the city n terribI,

Tammany has no idea Of giving N
the ghost, or of relnquishing q sin
gle iota Of its former power. Th'
society has been somewhat modes
for year or two. but the e!eetion
last fall going Democratic, as the,
did, gave itEew courage. Tamman,
proposed to take charge of the court
again, and, as the first step, has divi
ded up the appointments, c|thon
consulting the judges. One Mierson
representing Tammany in the Twen
tieth Assembly District, notified
Judge Hackett that one Deputy
Clerk and one officer Of his Court hat
been assigned by Tammany TO hi
District, and that he should deslg
nate the two men.
/ Judge Hackett was somewhat
surprised at this. He couldn't under
stand what q ring Of thieves headcc
by a gambler, had TO do with max

court, and he so told Mr.. Mierson
Thereupon Mr.. Mierson waxeo
wroth, and notified Judge llackett
that, when the time came, Tammany
would 60 for Judge Hackett's scalp
You see what chance New York
has for decent Courts, Sc long as a
mob of rum-mill frequenters dare to
dicate appointments like these,
WHAT WE DRINK FOR WINE.
This is shaking among the dry
bones that are habitually mois,ened
with wine Yesterday case came
before one of the courts, which tnrned
upon the genuineness Of a favorite
brand of wine. What do YOU sup
pose the Sherry drank in the country
is made of? Read, We wine drinkers.
An ANALYSIS of STANDARD" brand
showed that it was composed OF
forty gallons OF potato spirits, fifty
six gallons Of water, four gallons OF
capillairc, and ten gallons of grape
juice. This delectable mixture makes
40 dozen quarts, which sells in the
market at s38 per dozen. Rather a
profitable business for everybody, ex-
cept the consumers-they need stom-
achs gla ss-lined aud Liza cked with
friedrich. The fact is, there is but
little actual wine imported. The
Sherrics are adulterated with sul-
phuric acid, and strengthened with
alcohol, the Champagnes are made OF
cider and alcohol, Port is villain
Gus decoction, and so on through the
list. Still the fastidious drinker
smacks his lips over his sulphuric
acid, its price and foreign name rec
ommending it to him. Not one of
them can be induced to touch the
real wine, made from real grapes,
grown in America
Actresses, as rule, retain their
maiden names after they are married,
the reason being that having made
their reputation before marriage, a
change Of name would be injurious
Out of this practice a very funny in
cident occurred last Saturday night
\ well-known actress, a respecta-
bic woman, and the wife OF an cx-
cellent actor, is still known by her
maiden name, We will say, Agnes
Morton. She had been filing an en-
gagement in Philadelphia, her hus-
band at the same time filing one in
Providence. They were to meet in
New York, Saturday night. The
lady arrived at s p. NJ, anG went to
one of our best hotels, the proprietor
Of which knew her and her husband.
He was in the Office at the time, aud
registered her name Miss Agnes
Norton" and assigned her a room.
At / | p Vi. the husband arrived. and
registered his name John Smith" :"
looked over the register for the room
assigned to his wife, and rush
ed thither as any loving husband
would who had been separated from
his wife two months. Now all the
hotels keep a watch in the halls to
see that no improper characters get
into the rooms, and the watch in this
ball was an exceedingly conscien-
tious Irishman. Seeing the man en-
ter lady's room, he went to the
Office.
Who is in 2l3 2"
Miss Agnes Morton" answered
the clerk in charge.
"Whcw," whistled the watchman,
"be the mother Nv Moses, there's
mon in that room"
as there" queried the clerk, who
did not know the parties; 1--WE will
see about that"
And up they went. Rat-tat.
What do you want ?" from mas
culine voice within.
1--WE want you"
The door opened and a gentleman
in dishabill halfappeared in the door
way.
What are you doing in this rOom?'
demanded the clerk. Il assigned 3l2
to you"
Doing in this room? Why, pre-
pose to occupy it with my wife"
Wife Too thin" replied the
clerk. "We want none OF this here.
Dress yourself and get out. And
tell thc-lady to get on her duds and
get ont, too. And be very quick
about it,
But man. said the embarrassed
actor, that lady within as my wife,
and | am her husband"
"Oh, bother" said the clerk. Il
know all about it. | haven't time to
waste on you. Miss Agnes Morton,
John Sm;th'-it won't work. Get
out. You ought to he ashamed of
Yourself"
BY this tine the lady got an idea
)f the situation, aud set up Il scream,
he husband relapscd into profanity,
while dressing himself, and the watch
nan went off to answer a call some
where else. The husband got his
.lotheS on and reasoned with the
.lerk. He told him his wife was an
lctrcss, thatthey were both known
