the English NOVELIST, was a recent re-
grettaDleV occurrence as Munich. Ba-
roness Taut phoeus was an accomplished,
but not prolific, writer. and her literary
renown was chiefly based upon the in

Quits" that appeared in 1850 81.
These books have maintained lasting
popularity, despite the fulness Of the

City Council.

An adjourned meeting Of the city
council was held Monday night,
Mayor Vinson in the chair; Council
men Scoiield, benjamin, Toombs and
Quigles present, the rest of the city
fathers absent.
There seemed 10 be nothing Of
especial Importance except approving
the various bills left over from the
former meeting, therefore Controller
Murff was the busy man and was the
orator of the meeting.
Every thing seemed to rock along
smoothly until the cow case came up
This seemed possessed with so many
complications and the city attorney
not being anywhere near, in fact out
of the State, we believe, the council
simply gave it up until he would re-
turn and explain who milked the COW
and who drank tue milk that the city
was called on to pay for. MIR, Louis
Danbrune seems to be holding the
bag at present, and wants the city to
help him out, as the city sold the COW
for pound fees to him.
There was bill for pitch that Mr..
Scofeld was anxious should be ex-
planned. In fact two bills from the
v. S. & 2. II. r. This pitch was
used for repairing the railroad bridge.
1t appears that pitch advanced $40
per barrel in the last bill, just double
the amount per barrel of the first
This seemed like pltchGng) into the
city treasury too strong. The mark
ed advance in the price of this article
was more than the council could
stand, and it was referred to the i'm
provement committee for correction.
Mr. Benjamin denounced the work
done on the bridges as a very poor
job.
We are afraid that our council has
given the bridge business too much
latitude.
After approving the remaining ac-
counts the council adjourned.

Getting Out to Sea.
New YORK, Nov. 3.-There is reason
to believe, if the rumors in circ dlation
are true, that the friends in this ciiy Of
Admiral Mello, leader of the Brazlh,.l
rebels, are preparing to give loyal Ad-
miral Mauitz surprise when the steamer
Ell Cid attempts to leave this port on

Peixoto's cruisers.
Although it is denied by the firm Of
M. Morgan, that within the past few
days they have parted with any OF their
powerful steel bailt tu Is, ii is under
stood that Mello5 Representatives here
are anxious to buy a coapls O them.
The object of the purchase OF these
powerful and swift sea gong crafts, It
is believed, is 10 encounter 81 Cid and
ram her down off Sandy Hook, provided
she sail away with the Bra ilian flag fly
ing astern. If, however, FL Cid clears
with the stars and stipes under the es-
cort Of the powerful cruiser New York,
no effort will be made to destroy her.
