FOR NEW SCIENCE HOME.
SCIENTIFIC ALLIANCE COUNCIL AN
NOUNCES PLAN TO HOUSE ALL So
CIETIES UNDER ONE ROOF.

The Council of the Scientific Alliance Of New
York yesterday announced an undertaking which
promises to give the city in the near future her
proper rank a scientific centre. For the last ten
years the Scientific Alliance has been considering
the subject of the erection of building which
should house the various societies composing the
alliance and give them the facilities for the ad-
vancement of original research which they long
have needed, but, owing to unpropritious times no
substantial progress has hitherto been made.
The plan announced is which has been
under advsement for some time, and contempla tes
the erection of building to cost 100000 upon land
to 100000 more The project is commended to
the public over the sigma lures Of a committee of
cooperation, consisting OF Andrew H. Green.

SOME CAPITAL JOKES BY CAPITOL JOKERS.
THE REAL LEADER OF T4VUANy
IN THE ASSEMBLY.

Albany, April tSpeciaD-Few OF the upstate
members OF the Assembly, it is safe say know
who is the real leader of Tammany Hall in the
lower house. They may have come to the CON
cusion that he is James j. FITZGERALD Of the
XNIIth District. since he sits in the proper seat
and does most Of the debating on New-York C,itv
legislation. Mr. Fitzgerald would also appear to
be the organic mouthpece of Tammany because of
his frequent praise of the Mayor and other mn
nicipal officers of NewYOrk City. and his especial
denunciation Of the mandatory legislation of New
York Republican members" Nevertheless those
who think so are mistaken. The real leader of the
Wigwam forces in the Assembly has never ap-
peared IN Albany, but remains of the time
within doors, at No. SO West Sixtieth-st New
York City. This absent leader was only born on
November u last. and is Just cutting his first
teeth Nevertheless. IL order that the young chief
tains commands may be properly executed in the

and receives several letters between Monday and

which are sent him from No SO West Sixtieth-st
