The Confederate Bazaar.

Atthe general meeting of the Army
and Navy of the Confederate States
in Maryland this evening reports will
be submitted by the committee on
bazaar. The various tables announce
constant accessions of interesting
relics for the fermentation of the hall,
and when the bazaar opens on Tues
day next the Armory will be a YER
table Confederate museum. Many
valuable presents are also being re-
ccived. The ladies announced to-day
that Mr.. Charles NJ. Stieff, the cele-
brated piano-maker of this city, who
has shown a deep interest in the ba-
zaar, has generously donated to it a
$500 Stieff upright piano. The la
dies propose to rattle the instrument
at 81 a chance, and Mrs. DIR. w. Fl.
Williams, of No. 1O8 North Eutaw
street, will sell tickets to those who
apply.
In order to have the piano CON
venient for inspection Mr.. Stieff has
been requested to let it remain in the
warerooms No. North Liberty street
until April 7th. It is now there and
can be seen by visitors. Tickets for
the rattle can also be had at the Stieff
establishment. The chance of get
ting a fine piano for 81, and the GER
tainty of helping a good cause by
contributing, will undoubtedly cause
the sale OF a great many tickets.

Some weeks ago Mcssrs. Galloway &

piece of land near the reunion grounds,
in fuct, directly between the grounds
proper and the foot-bridgc leading 10 the

contrary TO and against the expressed
wishes and interest of the association,
who had previously sold to Mcssrs. Hoff-
man & Richen the exclusive beer priv
ilcge upon the grounds of the reunion
for $1,000.
Galloway & Rldgeway continued their
preparations in open defiance OF the ASSOC
citation, and so persistent were they that
il seems members had determined to
throw them and all their prop
clty into the river should they
open for business on the morning of
the 9th, and so confident were they that the
threat would be carried out that they last
night sued ont writ of Injunction to re-

Dallas Architects Pass Upon the HUFFMAN
simpson Block.
The owners of tho Iluffman-Simpson
building, in order to have report from
outsiders and those who were wholly
disinlerestcd in the city, secured the
services of two prominent Dallas urchi.
tects, who arrived in the city yesterday
and proceeded to an investigation of the
four-story building at the corner of Main
and Fourth streets, of which there has
been so much talk of late. We append
their report in full;
Mcssrs. simpson n Huffman, gentlemen.
Upona thorough examination OF your
four-Story brick building made by us to-
day we respectfully submit the following
report:
l. With q carefully and accurately ad-
lustcd instrument we find that in no case
does any wall vary from plumb over
three-fourths of an inch, the greatest de-
Walton being in the southeast corner.
which is less than tlree-fourths OF an
inch, and taken rs whole the walls are ms
plumb and straight as could be required.
2. The building, upon the whole, is adj
mirably designed and well constructed,
and for any purpose will Oil the antci-
pations of the owners and lcssces. If
any suggestion could he made in work so
admirably done, we might advise the
placing of turned wooden columns behind
the window-niullions, with direct bear
ing on the masonry below; but this may
or may not be necessary, and is only pre-
Scnted rs Il suggestion.
