SHIPS AND THE ESTIMATES.
A lively canvass has been inaugurated among the
members Of the newly elected Board Of Aldermen for
the position OF President OF body during the year
1873 or course, tho republicans have nothing what
ever 10 say In the matter they stand In minority.
There arc only two candidates In the field, Colonel
William r. Roberts and Mr.. Samuel A. Lewis. IL Is
expected that caucus will be held tomorrow or
Thursday for the purpose of determining the knotty
question AS to the choice OF presiding officer The
salary OF an Alderman is 1000 per annum The
PRESIDENT receives 81 900 In addition. BESIDES, this
omciai is member OF Tho Board OF Apportion ment
ana also acting Mayor IN case OF absence from sick
ness or other causes OF the cty's Chef Executive
but OF honor.
The fact that Colonel Roberts has been member Of
congress and = reputable merchant OF many years
stsndng In the CITY, II 10 contended by his friends. It's
nm Tor the discharge OF the duties OF President Of the
Aldermanc Board Nearly all the Tammany Alder
men have expressed favor for him, and IL appears
that nothing can prevent bis election except

derstood that nearly all the present incumbents will

Common Council have been cut down by the Board OF
Apportionmcnt In the provisional estimates from
$40, 500 to SIS, 500 In discussing these items the

these figures in acting upon the final estimates. II

ANNIVERSARY POEM.

F1sc7.--]|r ana Mrs. Dacid P1lzner.-1s77.l
We turn life's page to-day with rev'rent hand,
And backward roll till fifty years are spauncd.s
Il golden thread runs sll along the line,
And two fond hearts about it intcstwiue.
The marriage bells ring ont their checriest note
As through the 1nsts Of Fifty years they t!oat.
We see a youth and maiden ciAsping palms,
We hear their pledges, made for storms and calms
From upllnls where the sun had kissed the morn,
Through snm1ner-he!ts rich with the ming corn,
Through autumn-1anas where shadows hush tht
song,
Hand claspcd in hand the twain have passed along.
At last in sweet serenity OF uec,
Time stoops to mark more ll.htly on each page;
The n,i1estones on the way 20 hurrying By,
And thoughts, like troops OF swallows, homewatd
Ay.
The half score children crowdine close the hearth,
Inviting care. but gladG'ning with their lnirth,
Have grown to full estate, and, one by one.
Have left the foof~tfee, Hfe's swift race TO run.
And some, alas! some have gone hence Ia dwell,
While Love hath said to bnrdencd hearts, Tis well
Now. looking down the'vista Of the pust,
And numbering the blessings At tie lust,
They sure have reaped the harvest in its prime
With goodiy deeds have made their lives sublime.
Thus. hiding in the sunset vale Of years,
Sutc from alarms, from factiuus strife, and fears,
They shall be like the day In its decline;
Though robbed OF nopn-tide heat, the star1 may
shine:
And Peace shall tarry like broodins dove
And Faith shall set her seal OF constunt love.

DOM PEDRO IN TROUBL E.
GtfT lEuYf

The Emperor OF Brazil, who is at present tray
ing in Egypt: met with adisasrecablc adventure
the other day in Cairo, according to the Europe
DiiRouatiGuc. His majesty, it appears is very
fond Of donkey riding, and one morning, having
descended into the street III q jacket and small
cap. with light switch under his arm, mounted
one OF these intelligent little animals, and
trottcd off on an expedition through 4 labyrinth
OF back streets better known to the donkey than
to its rider.
On returning from his ride not wishing to
.aii2ht from tho donkey in front OF his hotel, he
pulled it up Il few hunlrel yards from the build
ing, and, not having any snail change y i'll his
pocket, gave the uuuacy-lriyer 4 guinea instead
uf piastre. The donaey-<.rlYc7, however, had
