rapidly pushed to completion. Inc centrai |
hall presents light and airy appearance, |
quite in contrast with the other rooms, and is |
the feature of the building. Its lofty marble
columns, its classical friezes and ornate capi-
tails make it an addition to the architectural
beauties of our city.
There was q dearth of news in the Revenue
Department and the presence of "fy time"
was visible on all sides. The Internal Reve-
nue. Department was somewhat ivelier than
usual on account of the stir in the whisky
war in Ohio and Missouri, which was the
principal topic of conversation.
In the Office of Supervisor Rogers and Local
inspectors Flanders and Moffat, the late dis
aster to the steamship Schiller was discussed
at length, and the general opinion seemed
to be that the captain OF the vessel
was guilty of gross negligence in running in
fog when he had not taken an observation
for three days, especially when he must have
known he was in the vicinity of the coast.
The Marshars headquarters have put on
summers suit of quietude, and nought dis
turbs the dreamy quiet of the place, save the
movement of Deputy Hollander who has
in charge the juries.

| IdylIfc.
The late crusade against the strolling bo-
vines Of Paddy Clark does not seem to bring
forth the fruit expected of it. The complaint
against him was that he allowed his cattle to
wander about in the neighborhood of st.
Charles Avenue, to the discontinue of citi-
zens and the great annoyance of pedestrians.
The nuisance has not been abated, however,
and now in the Sixth District is it almost un-
safe for ladies to venture out for an after
moons promenade, as the dairymer seem to
consider that this broad avenue is by right
their pasture ground. Outside of this the
COWS damage materially the sidewalks. Can't
the City Administrators remedy this?
| Not Citizen.
| It will be remembered that q short time
since one NJ. Scholtz filed his bond of
ten thousand dollars as Acting Auditor, and
although he has not as yet taken possession
of the Office, the temporary absence of
Clinton may at any time give it to him, and
therefore Mr.. Scholtz becomes, as it were, q
public character We have no personal &C.
quaintance with the gentleman, but it seems
rather curious to the average observer that
one who has as yet never been admitted to
the rights of citizenship here should possibly
become the acting officer in one of the i'm
portant, if not the most important, depart
ments Of our State government.
Our State Constitution has something to
say on the subject of an unnaturalized
citizen being appointed to Office, but of
course the trainers of that document never
could have for q moment referred to the
Additional bureau as under Clinton. APP
pointed officers must be citizens Of the State
that is, Clintons Office excepted.
/ The sickles Fund.
A proposition is on foot to secure to the
Medical College the disbursing of the in
terest- fifteen hundred to two thousand
misunderstanding from the Sickles fund.
The money was left the city for the purpose
of establishing dispensaries for the benefit Of
the poor of the city. Since the money came
into possession of the city the interest-the
principal cannot be used-has been devoted to
employing and paying druggists for furnish
ing medicine on the order of authorized per-
sons.
The faculty of the Medical College propose
to take the money and establish a regular
dispensary where, in addition to receiving
medicine, the poor of our city will receive
medical advice.
1t is understood that the proposition will be
brought to the attention of the City Council
at an early day.
