"Hello! What are you doing out

the Grand opera house few nights ago
to see and hear Karl Gardner MARBLE his
Lilac song. His remark was addressed
to robust young man with black eyes,
who guarded the cOmpany's interest at

Ellis recently took advantage of his
resemblance to Gardner to perpetrate a
practical joke, which came near prov

one of Gardeners tours in the West he
entered into business transaction
which involved the payment to him by d
third party of $500. Ellis was not about

Aid. Bradish moved that the city
comptroller he instructed to draw a
warrant in favor of j. V. De Motto for
$500. with interest at Z per cent, from
Sept. /, 1857, payable out OF the general
fund. This was the old De Motto claim
which the Ninth ward has declined to
pay, because they claim the money was
not used in proper manner.
Aid. Downs opposed the motion, de-
claring that the money ought to come
out of the Ninth ward street
fund. sit is a dishonest transac-
tion,'' he shouted, humping his fist on
on his desk, ''for the Ninth ward to try
by some underhand scheme to get the
city to pay its debts. Look at the diff
ference between the aldermen of the
Ninth and Eighth wards. They paid
500. 900 of debts contracted illegally by
their predecessors, but the Ninth ward
comes in here with woodchuck to
compel the city to pay Its bills"
Aid. Bradish-There is difference
between the Ninth and Fifth ward al
dermen, too. The Ninth ward alder
men did not go to ST. Paul to get this
bill through, nor did they go to the leg

PLANTATION of his statement that he

and Bradish replied that there was no
explanation necessary, except that 1t
was true as charged.
I ''Then." said Downs, ''It's lie. You
can'tprov it."
Bradish-I can prove 1t:
. DOwns-You are id liar, unless
you do. What do you mean by making
personal attacks on me.
Bradish-You made the first one on
me and l want you to understand that
every time you jump on me III get back
at YOU. If you think you can impose on
me you have gotten hold of the wrong
fellow. This is not the first time you
have tried it. -
Mr.. Downs denied that he had made
{ any personal attack on Bradish. and the
Ninth warder pointed out that Downs
had accused the Ninth ward aldermen
of dishonest action, and he, for one,
would not stand 1t. MI. DOWNS replied
that he meant officially dishonest, and
Mr.. Bradish reioined scornfully, "What

Bradish strobe away, as mad as a man
could be. while the redoubtable Downs
was up to the point of heat where the
late city hall boiler concluded to retire
from business. The friends of both
men regretted the occurrence, and doubt
less it was due to the fact that both
al dermen are inclined to pose as men of
great backbone, and the end OF the
spine of each is apt to ''stick out at his
mouth and wag." Mr.. Bradish ac-
cepted the statement of Freeman Lane
and II. G. Houke that Mr.. Downs
brought to the delegation a bill for a
board of public works i'll Minneapolis
in which he Downs, was named as
commissioner, but it is not known that

Louis and Peter are neighbors, and the
latter in burst of confidence informed
his domestic that Louis, who is mar

certain young lady. The domestic
thought her duty toinform Mrs.Snyder
regarding the facts in the case, and pro-
ceeded to do so. this caused a very Sc
rious misunderstanding between Herr
and Frank Snyder, and on discovering
that his neighbor Peter Ensch was the
author of his woes. Louis went over to
argue with him about it. Being rather
more fluent with his fists than with his
tongue, Louis brought the former into
requisition in the debate. Hence the
