THE central figure of the National Mu-
scum of statesmen, and that which attracts
NIL the eyes of q great country now, is a
Republican Senator with Democratic hat.
1t is said that man is often known by the
character of his hat, and it may be that it
exercises a marked responsiveness over his
action. This hat may be in consideration
OF past services, and may not throw the
shadow Of its influence upon the fIr-
ture, but it attracts attention, nevertheless
as its history is happily illustrated.

Mr.. Mott read communication from Dir.
Adams, quarantine physician at the Rigoiets,
stating that the captain of the schooner
Wllhelmina, hailing from Galveston, passed
the station and proceeded to the city In utter
disregard of quarantine regulations and the
expostulations Of the health officer at the
Rigolets.
Mr.. Mott also read statement from Mr..
ScratGhley, who accompanied DR.. Adams
which tends to throw a different light on the
subject.
The substance Of Mr.. Scratchley's statement
is that DR.. Adams gave the captain no chance
either to explain himself Or speak, but
acted very roughly and left the schooner for
the station, without any evident cause for
such brusque proceeding. On the complaint
Of the quarantine physician, who reported to
DR.. Choppin, it is said that the schooner was.
seized by the sheriff, ordered back to the Rig
Diets and the captain subjected to q great ex-
pense, without any fault of his. Al the con-
cluson Of Mr.. Motifs reading Of the ooIntnu~
nieations the board adjourned.

Yesterday morning, while Officer Austin, Of

FUNNY REPORT.
The Times says thnt the administrators are
discussing the proposition of Mr.. Henry
ElIermann, the wharf. lessee, to pay $4,000 in
cash to the city instead Of taking up ten
wharf bonds in compensation for five months
of the lease Of the wharves, and adds that
"the city authorities are not certain of the
legality OF the transaction" The portion
quoted must be O. sentimental expression of
the Times reporter not to speak Of his limo
cent belief that the matter is being still dis
cussed
This question has been under discussion for
many months, and the "city authorities" are
SO informed in the matter now that hey do
not doubt of the legality of the transaction
On the contrary, the Getty authorities" by
which we mean q majority of the City Coun-
Gil, have long doubted of the validity of the
wharf Improvement bonds, and, now that they
are satisfied that they can prove the illegality
Of these bonds, they will accept the PROPOSE
ton Of Mr. Ellermann and receive the money

however much the CALLED jade may vince.
The fact Is that the Times uses the words
"cty authorities only in a Pickwickian
sense, and that it's "City Hall notes" should
have been included In it's humorous column
which, to make on Irish bull. was not appa-
rent in its yesterdays afternoon edition.

Church, St. Patriek's st. Johns, and IN every
church, chapel and place Of Worship impress
sive ceremonies were held In commetnoration
of the event. Solemn high masses, inter-
spersed with the singing Of religious hymns
and anthems, were chanted by volunteer
choirs Of ladies and gentlemen.
IL would be almost impossible to give a de-
tailed account Of the ceremonies in every
church of the city, but suffice 1T to say that
the number of faithful vending their way to
the places of worship showed conelusively

A NEW TICKET.

The several political parties of our city were
considerably exercised yesterday afternoon
over new ticket put in the field by some Of
our most prominent merchants. The gentle
men whose names are given it is alleged,
will, instead of drawing their salaries from
the city, pay into it's Golfers the amount that
has hitherto been drawn by the gentlemen
filling the same positions. The new. ticket
offered to the public franchise is one that de-
feats for the nonce the opposition. The Cot
ton Exchange is moving in this matter, and
denouements may be expected. from gen.
tleman who was in the caucus we learn that
the following ticket was unanimously sug-
For Mayor-W-l-t-r Bill.
Administrator OF Finance-Chas N. WI
Sims.
Administrator of improvements s.
Administrator of Commerce.. Fl. A-ll-n.
Administrator of Police FL. A. Fr-d -ic.
Administrator of Accumulation. c. Ch-ff
administrators of Assessments-Ge A. M.
Bi-ck-m.
This is understood to be the woodpeeker
ticket, and from the present outlook there is
good chance in the field. Fortunately, all
the gentlemen nominated have either auburn
hair or strawberry blonde mustaches, which
according to tradition, ought at least make
q strong show. So satisfied is one Of our
prominent Carondelet street men, that he, Mr.,
Ca-r-nl Burke, is warm aspirant for the
position Of secretary to the Mayor.
That something will come out of this Is GER
tain, as Major GWynn says SO. Nous ve2rors.
| We are pleased to learn that Mr.. Durieu. the
| proprietor of the Red Star shoe store, is busily
engaged, in Philadelphia. in getting new shoes
