Away off in India, there is a time-honored custom that has obtained from the remote gen- erations, and whicn. ihough involving patient perseverance and some inconvenience, is loolked upon as deraanding in its observance the rigid and religious attention of the Indians, It a pative desires a favor of another, he asks it, and if met with refucul, he sits down hefore the door of Lim hewhom iie iocks upon as ereditor, and there he remains through the sun and heat, and through the dust and tse dew. - Never more will he take bis shadow from off that door d swhen at length the languor of death ipon him he scals & reproachful ook in hiis eyes, and goes into the spirit-world with the print of that dooined threskold on his breech- clout. Upon him who denied the boon the God of the Indianis supposed to visit his wrath through the ages of cternity. Nevermore shall peace come to his beart, and when the Great Shadow talls upon him he is suppused to slide comfortably into the infernal reggions, where his soul is ever torn with lamentations thatlie re- fuscd the other Indian the cold pancakes he did beses the two cases. ech. But Judge Scully, often as he has read and ad- xmired this poctic ctistom, probably never autici- ‘pated its transplentiog to tae porch of his own Justice shop. Not lonz azo be rendered a judg- ment in favor of a West Side woman naned Natoff for a small amount. Congeiving the idea that a Justice’s judzment was binding on the Justice in the eveni of the judgment-debtor {ailing to satisfy, the son-in-law of good Mistress Natofl demanded the wealth of the Judge: It was rcfused. Then the costom of that sweet Indian Jand sped _swilt across the wastes and waters, and the patient son-in-law, grasping its cillcacious method of kiiling one man and damuing an- other, besat bim down in Sealy’s Court, catmly awaiting pavinent of dissolution. Not an inch of that beak would he withdraw from Scully’s heart. Day after dsy he sits there, through hunser and drenks, throush thirst and petty larcenics, through sunshive and dis- wurbances of the peace, through stormsand raids on gamblers. He has dcvoted his life to the task of coliecting that judoment from Scully, reflecting that though Scully may ask him to be * —d now, lie will one day look down from the bosom of an Indian Abrabam and sce Scully damuped for ever. It isa pathetic incident, and the only drawhack to thic intense poesy of the situation is Scally’s cffort to stand it as long as his ghost. PUBLIC LIBRARY, The Pubilc Library Board held a meeting ves- terday afternoor, President Shorey in the chair. On motion, the Commiitce on Administra- tion were instructed to investigate the qualifica- tions of the applicants for the vacancy caused by the resignation of Miss Fyde, 2ad to sppoint 2’ tCmpOrary suveessor. Mr. Poolé, the Librarian, reported that he had received from Gen. Logan, Carter Harri- son, and other gentlcmen, yolumes which made a_complete set of the Congiessional Record. ‘The Interior D%;;x:rtmcnt had contributed, at the request of Gen. Logan, cizht volumes of the Fauna and Geolozy of the Western States. ‘The report was received and the Librarian re- uested to make suitable acknowledgment of &c donations. Dr. Walker remarked that the public scemed to appreciate the opening of the Librory two evenings in the week. One-sixth of the entire number of books was taken out 1n the evening. Mr. Poole stated that the number of books fssued iu the evenings bLad almost coubled during the past weck, aud the indications were that the demand at nights would go on increas- ing. There being no further business, the Board adjourned. A NIW SCHOOL. A school has recently been obened in Memo- rial Chapel on Indians avenue, between 1vwen- ty-ninth and Thirtieth streets, for the instrue tion of deaf and dumb children by the method Jmown as “ visible speecls,” as introduced by A. Graham Bell. The ' children -are - in- sucted to articulate words, and to understand what s being said _ by bserving the month of the speaker.

Those who are interestel in the education of deaf-mute children would do well to visit the Chicago school und observe its workings for themsclves TIE THEAY The Traveling-Mea's first devotional aeeting in Lower Farwell Hall last evening. The attendance was the membership of the Union. Joseph L. Beach led the exercises, and tie Sccretary, J. . Turney, presided at the organ. The pravers were fervent, aud the experiences varied, alto- gether making a very interesting meeting. After the devotional excercises, a business meet- ing was held, but the only important business trunsacted was the agreeing- upon the form of a certificate of membership to be carrfed by the members_ to introduce them fn °their travels. Some of the members thousht such a certificatc unneces- sary, but the majority was against them. One of ihem, in urgiug the necessity of the certifi- cate, said he had always found his face_denied his profession of temperance and religion, and that it had often been impossible to reccive recognition in religious societies. When he had broken the ice others related similar ex- periences, and the importance of the proposcd certificate was made apparent. The next meet- ing will ve held Saturday evenine. COUNTY HOSPITAL. INSPECTING THE DUILDING. ‘The recently-completed portions of the Coun- ty Hoepital, numely: the amphitheatre, corri- dors, ice-house, and barp, were to have been formally transferred to the county yesterday morning. The contractor, Sexton, was to make the transfer,and Architect Cochraue was to represent sthe county and receive its property with becoming dignity. But, while the con- tractor was present, the one who was to do the receiving did not turn up, and the formal trans- fer did not take place. The county, however, was fitly, or unfitiy, represented by several of its duly authorized Commissioners, including Col. Cleary, reputed proprictor of the Hospital, " Ayacs, — Mulloy, - Guenther, Hoftmau, _ Lonerian, Senne. _Smith, Carroll, and Holden, while cx-Commissioner Johnson's attendance showed that he had not lost any of the old iutercst in anything that pertains to the fortuncs of the county, or in the customary spread which forins so_important : part of thesc nspecting tours. Gen. Licb was there tov, smiling screnely on all that was going on. Uesides these, a motley crew of hangers-on about the County-Building were around, tor the purpose, it must be, of lending character to the vistt. They approved everything, as did also the Commissioners from whom they took | their cue.” The first- object of interest was THE AMPRITHEATRE. It 1s certainly well arranged, and Sexton claims that it will hold 1,000 people, but it would probably require some crowding in that 'he tiers of scats rise one above another, 50 that the view of the lecturern the frout is unobstructed. There is abundant space where the lecturer stands for his tables, illustrations, etc., winle in the rear are found the museum and the cousultation-rooms. Everything is bright and cheery in its appearance, and the amphitheatre is really one of the best-adapted places for clinical lectures in the country. The corridors gerve to conncct the pavilions, and are a_matter of necessity. In style of con- struction they are quite ar to other por- tions of the building. The ice-house will hold from 300 to 350 cords of ice, and it, as well as the barn, was pronounced by the Commissioners and the other visitors to” be simulg' perfect. When the tour of inspestion bad been com- pleted, the Commissioners and the crowd of Hatterers and_retainers were not backward in accepting the Warden's invitation to “TARE SOMETHING.™ It was taken in one of the private offices, and consisted of various exhilarating fluids aud cigars. ‘There was not the least formality about this part of the programme, everybody falling fo without further ado. Of course, eversthing iere was approved, as eversthing clse in the building had reccived the seal of com- mendation, and none were louder or noisier in expressing their approbation than the motley assembly of tlatterers and back-scratchers from the County Building. There were one or Lwo feeble attemts at-specch-making, but they were miserable failures. Ex-Commissioner Johnson was only t0o proud to conaratulate the Hospital, the County of Conk, and theworld at large. upon the fact that Warden ) i was the presiding enius at the ospital, and he could but propbesy that the gcatieman would continue to fill the position which he adorned with honor to hLimself and satisfaction to the public. [Uproarious applause.] The War- den. oo doubt mindiul of the recent complaints against his treatment, of certain patieuts, smil- i v responded that he was not so sure of c the pablic. The remark was derstood by his hearers, who laughed immoder- ately. " Then they fell to azain, and repeated the operation at frecuent intervals, filling in the chinks iu the time with congratulatery remarks on the manner in which the cous s blessed with such an institution, which provided for the sick poor, aud expressing unfeiened surprise that auybody could be so Dbase as o insioudte that there were such things us _rings, jobs, and the like in the Counts Board or any of its enter- prises. Alter this season of unrestrained joy, in wluch nearly everyhods patted his neighbor on the back and drank to his health, the crowd wastaken into the oflicers’ room, where they sat down 1o A JIOSPITAL DINNER, v consisting of pork and beans, roast heef, boiled potatoes, steved tomatoes, apple-pie, efc.. cte There was mich sniacking of lips, followed by more flatteri marks on the superior man- arrement of the Tospial, the concentrated wis- dom of which might’ be sumned up in the remark of Commissioner Lenzen to the Warden: *The fellow that baked them beans, Mac, knew what he was about.” Warden found time to submit to Col. Cleary combination time-table and bill of farc Tor meals for his approval, aud the Colonel, after being informed that such an arrangement was customary in all hospitals, expressed the opin- ion that it was a very rood thing, and the County Board ought to adopt it at once. “We want some more cots, Colonel,” said the Warden. “ Phat for?”" asked the Colonel. “The wards arc crowded, and patients are ap- plying here for admission that we can’t accom- modate.” : “We must curtail,”” said the Coloncl, with his mouth full of pie. “We must curtail as far as is possible,—the county is not very flush now; curtail, Mac, that’s the word.” “What’s the us¢ of having a hospital if it ain’t to be occupied?” suggested the Warden, “Well, maybe that's so—but—you know, 4\3:: we must—well—we must curtail—that’s i The conversation was not prolonged much farther, for Comm ner Smith’s Committee on the subject of steam-pipes was to meet at 2 o'clock, and the party soon afterwards broke up. UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO. SEMI-ANNUAL MEETING OF, HE BOARD OF TRUS- TEES. Phe regular semi-aunual meeting of the Board of Trustees of the University of Chicazo was held Thursday atternoon at the Grand Pacifle Hotel. The Hon. Artemas Carter, Vice-Presi- dent, occupied the chair. The attendance of members was unusuaily good. The principal business at the winter mecting is the reports of the officers and standing com- mittees of the Board. The Hon, Henry Greene- baum, the Treasurer, reported recelpts and dis- bursements for the year: Receipts, $12,000; disbursements, $11,945.32; balance, 33405, The Finance Committee presented through the Secretary, 0. W. Barrett, Esq., the follow- ing financial exhibit AsseTs. Bills Receivable—Notes, subscriptions, Endowments . Cash.vureann Total .. .o eeee . £740,480 Chancellor Burroughs presented his report of what had been done in providing for the current “ants and permanent endowments of the Uni- versity during the year. The severe losses to its .endowments by tue great fire, and the disabling of many of its chict supporiers by thie sume cause, had been sorely feft by the University ever since, and could only be repaired by cnlist- Chicago. “As a Chicago institution, with a con- stitutfon and aims inviting the co-operation of all who would see our city thecentre of higher education, it was believed that the wants of the institution only needed to be presented to the business men of the city to secure their aid, and this be was endeavoring to do from day to day, with encouraging results. Mr. C. J. Hull, of the, citr, bad added $10,000 to ' the . endowment of the | chair which bears the name of his deceased son, who -graduateid at the Univereity, making an endow- ment of 830,000, for which” securitics had heen given. Two other gentiemen had each prom- faz the support of a new class of citizens of - ised soon to undertake the endowment of a chair. A subscription- for $12,000, to meet the expensesfol the dpresent collegiate tyear, has been begun, and is meeting with a favorable re- sponse from citlzens, Tlic receipts from stu- dents' fees meet about haif the expenses of the University, und though ouly balf as high as the rates at%he older Eastern colleges, it was not thought advisable to raite them, Indeed, but for the favorable arrangements for boarding in the college boarding fiull, at less than $3 per - weeit, the term billsat _present churged would be too high for the zood of the University. The prospeity of the University is thus seen to e dependent upon the prompt endowment of its professorships. l’rcs‘;dcm, Ahurgethy reported the internal condition of the University as highly satisfac- tory, the attendance better than at any time singe the fire and incrensing; faculty snd stu- dents earnestly and successrully pursuing their work. The Standing Committee of Ladies, in charge of the department for young ladies, reported, through Mrs. D. L. Shorcy, Sccretary, that the Committee were encouraged with the results of the experiment of admitting young ladies to the classes of the University, and hoped yet to be able to do much to imme the facilities of the department. They had arranged that a committee of ladies should visit the classes of which ladies are members rcmllnrl¥ every week. They asked the appointment of Mrs. Judge Booth and Mrs. H. A, Rust to fill vacancics in the Committee, which was done. Y The Exccutive Committee, which under the charters possesses all the powers of the full Board ad interim, and on which a_large amount. of business accordingly devolves, presented a long report, given to details of business not of public interest. . 7 The Cowmmittee_on Nominatiéns reported throngl ex-Mayor Boone the following nomina- tions of officers and members to fill vacancics, all of whomn were unanimously elected: President—The Hon. William B, Ogden. Vice-dyecidlnis—The llon. J. Y. Scsmmon, the "ribmas Hoyne. Zreqsurer—The Hon. Tenry Greencbaum. cretary—0. W . Barrett, Esq. Truste¢s—L. Z. Leiter, Esq., D. H.

Artemas Carter signitied his resig- nation on_account of impaired health, and in retiring alluded feclinzly to the pleasant asso- clations which he had enjoyed during his mem- be: hip of seven years, and expressed confi- nce in the future of the University, cspecially in view of its catholic character, and his purpose to continue his interest and support. Aftera pleasant session, extending to a late hour of the cvening, the Board adjourncd. THE NEWSBOY. JIOW HE GETS 1113 PAPERS. If there is cver a time when profanity might be excusable, which many people doubt, itis whena subscriber to a morning,paper finds that the thicvish newsboy has taken advantage of the early morning hours and purloined that which is dearer to s2id subscriber than almost any- thing else, unless it be his breakfast. But even a breakfast to many people is not complete without a newspaper. As the fresh energics of the body are provided for by the morning meal, so the refreshed mind craves mental food, and there is nothing like the morning newspaper, figuratively speaki “to go to the right spot.” But the wicked newsboy steps in and puts 'a stop to all this, and now fis his favorite time, when the average citizen does not crawl out of bed one whit earlier than is ab- solutely necessary. Depredations of this sort have been frequent this winter, particularly on the South Side, much to the annoyance of sub- b Cowplaints have been made, but the evil dots not cease, except where the subseriber carrics out a virtuous resolve to outwit the newsboy by rising early and grabbing his paper before the newsvoy zets bis hands on it, or by having a servant do this for him. To make the resening process wore certain, several subscrib- ers have made arrangements with the carrier to ring the door-bell when they leave a paper. Thereupon the subseriber, or the early- rising se issues from _the house, dexterous s tiie paper, and bears it in triumph to the warm dining-room, where its contents are afterwards digested along with the morning cup of cotfec and the fresk: ot rolls. BUT THE NEWSBOY KNOWS ANOTHER TRICK worth two ot the former. The process of aceu- mulating papers by stealing them from people’s hiouses one by one is altozether too slow to meet his entire approbation. There is danger in it too, for many a newsboy has unpleasant recollections of beina caught’at his own eame,” and _the result. has not always=~been what he might desire. The new plan excels the old one i every respect. It is crafty in_desizn, sudden in cxecution. Mr. Alfred Doyle, one of 'I'iE TRIBGNE carriers for the South Side, is in the habit of recciving his morning papers in a hatl-room at the Avenae House, corner of Wa- bash avenue and Twenty-second strect. The papers reach this abiont 3 30 o’clock in the morning, while it is yvet dark, 20 that he has the i in the hall when they arrive. On ons lately, however, the: newshoys v have congregated at the corner, eilected an_entrance into the hall, put out the gas when Mr. Doyle coiving his papers, enatched all iie had, and ran off with them. As there was no lizht, ke of course had no means of knowinz the boys, snd could mot recover lis paper Last Thursday morning thi repeated. Mr. Doyle noticed 3 policeman standing on the opposite side of the nd he, hearing the noise and the scufil- ing, came leisurely over to the hall, where he Doyie, and was informed a5 to what “lic officer coolly replied that HE COULD DO NOTHING TO THE BOYS. It so happened that one fellow had taken the scare, and dropped ten or fifteen papers which blew around in all dircctions, and of these Mr. Doyle recovered all but three or four. On another owcasion another carrier was in the saine way, and a policeman stood Dy without liftinz a hand, under the pretense that he couldn’s arrest the boys without a war- rant! Mr. Doyle now receives his papers out of doors, where there is no gas to be turned off, but where, unfortunately, it is quite cold at the hour mentioned. is should happen to If thi reach the eye of Capt. Buckley, it is hoped that gentleman will syguest to some of his subordi- Fites thet #wonhy o quite proper, under the cirenmstances, for them to take measures towards the prevention of such assaults in the future. By so doing he will protect the carriers and, indircetly, the public in their righta. FAITH’S RECORD. ‘WHAT THE LORD LAS DONE FOR THE FOUND- LINGS.

The above organization took. possession of the new armory,’ Nos. 192 and 194 Washiugton street, last Wednesday nigut. After an hour's drill in the bayonet exercise, a business meeting was held, and civil officers elceted as follows: E. B. Knox, President; William L. Lindsay, Secretary; J. S. Sheahan, Treasurer. A com- mittee on constitution and by-laws was appolnt- ed, to report at tlic next meeting, to take place to-morrow night at the armory. 1t was decided to meet for drill- Monday of each week ut § o'clock p. m. By joiningz this corps the young men of our city will have a fine opportumty to acquirea knowledee of military tactics, particularly the “ daghing bayonet excrelse” and siirmish drill, which forms an jmportant part of the Zouuve drill, and which made the Zounyes under Ells- worth so famous. Military service afords the best recreation for young men, because it is useful to the country i time of war, and is use- ful to the commuuity in case of municipal dis- order. Itis useful to the individual, because it affords him a regular and systemutfc course of hysical training, and discipling for the mind.. ‘or developing” muscle, expanding the chest, and making the whole physical max bealthy and vigorous, and atthesume time for g g an crect and graceful carriage, and for teaching babits of [)rumptucss, order, and punctuality, practieal military Instruction 1s unequaled. ~Th line to the mind js execllent, for nothing can e more exact and methodical than tue study of milltary tactics. Last, but not least, is the ac- gulsmon of habits of scif-defense and confi- ence which are sure _to be developed in every active and carncst citizen-soldier. Employers ought not to object or discourage calistments, for they should know in givinga clerk legitimate recreation the desire for ull othier is diminished. Membership in this corps actually guards a youny man from dissolute and careless habits, The moment he pluces his name upon the roll he becomes responsible to his comrades for his good behavior; he well knows that any disreputable_conduct, any ungentle- manly o unsoldierly behavior, would bring dis- gracgon himsclf and bis company, and would result in his expulsion. 7 Itis the intention to make the Zouaves a “crack corps,” sccond to none in the country, and now 15 just the time for young men to take advantage of this opportunity to join a first- class military organization.

Lindsay, Armory Chicazo Zouaves, 192 and 154 Washington street, or present themseclyes in person at the Armory, where the Recruiting Committee will be in readiness for the reception o,féuc{uus every Monday evening from 5 to 10 o'clock. City-Attorney Tuthill is expected home with his fair young bride to-morrow, surely. Since the 1st of January there have been but ten building permits issued, and those ten were for small structures, the total value of which is but $7,500. Ald. Lodding, who has been for the last four ‘wecks grievously atliicted with rhenmatism, was about the City-Hall yesterday for the first time since he became ““laid up.” The Hon. S. S. Hake, Mayor of East St. Louis, has written to Mayor Heath that the Hou. J. P. Bowman, the legal representative of East St. Louis, will attend the Springficld Convention for the framing of a new leveuue law. Yesterday afternoon a swall blaze occurred in the Water-Oftice. The base-board just be- hind the steam-pipes suddenly blazed up, but thie tire-extinguisher (Frank Tuttle with a glass of waterin cach hund) was called iuto use, and the blaze quickly squelched. Loss about % cents. It was “at first thought that the heat from the steam coil bad iznited the wood, but it was afterward seen that a cigar-stump had been carelessly thrown on the floor just be- low the coil. Itlodged in 2 crack where dust had accumulated, aud where the boards were like tinder. Hence the fire. Mrs. S. F. Noreross and Mrs. Ellen Mitchell, respectively the President and Secretary of the Erring Woman’s Refuze, catled at th troller’s oflice and were paid & of money which was to the institution, Leing fines from prostitutes and in- mates of lousesof prostitation. There is the same amount of money in the Treasury for the House of the Good Shepherd. At the fustance of many of the members of the old Volunteer Fire Departiment, there is to be presented to the Legislature, probably this wee, a bill providing that all those citizens veid for seven years on the volunteer department be exempt from jury-duty. At the time of the adoption of the nésw Constitution such an exemption was allowed, but tie new Constitution contains no provision for release from a somctimes burdensome servic. The Mayor's Policeman is steadily working at the license business. That_is, he is looking up those persons who are without the necessary papers for the carrying on of thelr respective ranches of businéss. Mo finds that he has a large fleld for labor, but. with the aid of lists aud memoranda heretofore obtained, will be cnabled to kuow who have and who have not licenses. It is seen from the buoks of the City Clerk’s office that some of the most prominent Dilliard places in town are ruuning free from restraint. The gnilty ones would save them- selves some trouble and- expensc, and the city 2 deal of work, if they would pay up without further notice. It has been found impossible to prepare the vouchers in time to commence the payment of the city employes’ December salaries Monday or Tuesday, us it wus contemplated yes rday, and it is now announced that the salaries will be puid somo day durin (s week. There is euough money fn the Treasury to pay the rolls, $100.000 (not. gao,ooo) having been ] the East, aud about the same amount in sums of §3,000 and less having been borrowed from day today here by the Comptroller. The ofi- cials are already luoking forward to the payment of salarics further. on, and wondering Where the mouney is to come from. The Town Collectors” have besun to collect their warrants, and their collections can be ap- olied for whatever ipurpnsu it may seem neces- sary. It was stipuluted at the tiine of the con- traction of the popular loan that the first $1,000,000 collected should be sei aside for the payment of the popular-loan certificates, but as these certiticates are not due for several months. =some of them for as many as nine mouths,— the Mayor thinks that it would be poor finan- ciering to let the money lic idle. The present outstanding certificates might be redeemed, but it is thought that such an action would be of but little use, for it would be found necessary to issue those certificates again before the lapse of many months. LHE APPROPRIATIONS, In speaking about the appropriations. for the ensuing year, the Mayor yesterday said that he thouglit that'the bill would he proportionately smaller then for last year. The total would, of course, be larger, because there was a year to be provided for, wi the last fiseal year con- tained but nine imouths; but the economy which had been shown in the administration of munic- 1&:&1 aifairs would be carried Into next year. Il the departments had been cut. down in run- ning expenses, and in the number of employes, and'the Government seemed to run alonias well as ever, demonstrating that the reduction did not affeet the well-being of - the community or the citv. There were, however, many things whicl would of necessity. have to be provided for. In the Police Department pot much would be asked. There were the usual repairs, etc., which wounld probably not foot -up ‘more than $14,000. The hed- ding o the stations would require about $1,500 worth of _renovation and attentlon, and there was an addition to be built to Capt. Johmson’s (West Side) Station, which was too small for the sccommodation of the men there. There were somne cells to be built and repaired. The $14,000 would cover all those improvements. As for the Iire Depart- ment, there was very little needed, and couse- quently but little to be usked for. Perhaps a Dnew engine-house might be a necessary thing, and it w: likely that it would be asked for. The firealarin telegraph would meed a good deal in the way of mew wires and paraphernalia. As for the Depart- ment of Public Works, it would probably move along in the way it has been movinz for the past few months, as far as the Mayor was con verned. He should recommend na new im- provements, but thought it desirable that there should be provision madc for the comple- tion of and the payment jor the Fullerton ave- nue viaduct, and the payient of the claims against the city conscquent mpon the dumaze done to. property by the construction of the Milwgukee avenue viaduct. What improve- ments the Aldermen had to suggzest was not yet known. The burden of the Board of Works estimates would be for repairs, strect-leaning, and seweraze, and those only where it was absolutely nceessary, and only enongh money to defray the actual cost would be asked for. It mizht be expected, as it always hap- Fcncd. that when the item of sewerage as be- ore the Council there would be a demand from almost every member for a sewer _in Jhis, borhoud. Altogether the Mayor believed. that the bill “would be smaller in proportion than was that of last year. ~There was an'economical administra- tion” in every branch of the City Government, and there was an economical Council to pass upon the requests for money. % THE COUNTY BUILDING. County Clerk Lieb will send in his semi-anoual report to the Board to-morrow. . The North Town Collector took in $5,000 yes- terday, and would not-have objected if the fig- ures had been doubled. In the case of-Mary Fletcher, on trial for lar- ceny, the jurv yesterday brought in a verdict of guilty. She will depart for the Bridewell to- morrow. The question of covering thé steam-pipes at the Hospital was settled yesterday. The award ‘was made to the Pheenix Company for 24 cents. per foot. There were bids in to do the work for ess money. The Cominittee on Hospitals and rublie Buildings opencd bids_yesterday for filling the ice-house at the new Roslpitul. The award was made to Griflin & Conuelly at their bid of §2.85 per cord. Sepator Kehoe was around yesterday. . He was button-holed on all sides by the Commis- sioners, who inquired anxiously about the feel- ing at Springficld in reference to the bill look- ing to sbolishing the “Ring.” The Committec on Secret Service wrestled again yesterday, under lock and key, with the -sumples of goods from parties anxious to et contracts with the county. The progress made, if any, is not known. HOW THEY LOVE CONTRACTORS. Abant a year azo the Comuittee on Public Charities ¢old some hoss from the . County Farm to O’Donnell, the meat_ contractor, and thie bill mnounted to abput $450. * A scarch was made yesterday among the books and papers of the Board to ascertain whether the amount had ever been paid or not, but no trace of it could be found, although it was said that it had been. The records show_that his bills against the county for January, February, and March were paid promptly, Lut nothing could be found in a scarch of scveral hours to show that he had ever discharged his obligation to the county. " In looking this matter up, the re- porter’s attention wasattracted to the character of some of the bills O’Donnell has been paid dur- ing the year, which is of special Interest now in view of “the fact that his contract is about to be renewed at a clear loss to the public of not less than $15,000 a year. One of his December bills shows that he'was paid 13 cents per pound for lard, 75 cents per can for oysters, and 75 cents apiece for beef tongucs. When he rendered the bil or supplicd the articles lard was worth 12 cents in the market, the best oysters could Dbe bouzht Dby single can for 45 cents, and the retail butchers did not have the face to ask more than from 50 to 60 cents for tongues. In this little bill alone, it will be scen, there was a steal of from 25 to 85 per cent. The Commissioners never complain- ed, howcever, but audited the bill without ask- ing a question. Just where the steal went no onc knows, but all the circumstances would teud to raisc one’s suspicions as to the relations of O’Donnell and the Committee on Public Charities. ANNOUNCEMENTS.

Hattie Brooks, a Biler-avenue cypran, was Tocked up at the Armory last evening for swin- dling a Granger from Iowa out of $12 in cash. James Martin, the proprietor of a small grog- gery on Cottage Grove avenue, near Thirty- third strect, was before Commissioner Hoyne terday charged with selling liquor without a license. He was held in $500 bail. Frank McDermott, Charles Green, William Lind, and William Barrett, boys who hang about meat markets in the West Division, stealing whatever they canlay their hands upon, were taken into safe keeping yesterday afternoon by Oticer Short, of thcl;"ul.\lndlsonStrnetslnlluu. Detective Tryon will arrive from Springfield this morning with the necessary requisition for Frank Kelley, the Philadelphia’ murderer. He accompanied by Ofiicers Bickerley and Stratton, both of whom ideatiticd the prisoncr as the right man, and are bighly pleasc with his cap- ture. Justice Haines yesterdny consigned Henry Mers to the tender mercies of the Criminal Court, and the youth went to jail in default of bail. It seems that Henry had beenan employe of the Atlantic & Paciic Telegraph Company, and had collected $76 which he didnot turn over to the Cumpauy, but utilized to defray the ex- penses of a pleasure trip to Michigan. Ofiicer John O’Connor recently made a_good haul in arresting a young thief named Michael Gross, who is at present Jocked up in the West Madisou Street Station. Upon his person werc. pawn-tickets for innumerable articles of clothing, and also a rinc dismond solitaire ring valued at $300, which, with some other articles, was recently stolen from Charles Flemming, of No 100 Hoyne avenue. Justice Summerficld {cstenhy sent up the following: Mattie Reynolds, larceny of $75 from n, $100 to the Criminal Court; s, larceny of a revolver from Spencer & Co., of No. 5i State street, $300; F. Lindgren, larceny of an overcoat from Andrew Oleson, of the State Savines Institution, $300; Michael Hayes, Joseph Bertram, and Ricn Rip. ley. robbery oz F. A. Hill, $500 fo the - Criminal Court. Miss E. M. Cole, an employcof the Recorder’s oflice, recently had her pockets picked of a wallet cuntaining a small sum of money, some valuable papers, and a meal-ticket at the En- glish House, No. 31 Washinzton street. . Sur- mis} ]f“m the “dips,” whoever they were, would take advantage of the latter useful article, wutch was set, and last cvening Oflicer Pennell, of the Lake street_sauad, caught two lads enjoying a square meal on the strength of the ticket. When talen to the Central_Station they ave the names of Thomas and Douglas MeGinty. « : 5 A Granzer named Btevens, who chose neither to give his full name nor location of his home, was before Supt. Hickey vesterday to complain Gerburg, and every inmate of the place loared in the station; and, not satisfied with this, the inmates of a saloon on Rundolph strect, kept by a fellow named Long, who 1used to own the ranch, were also taken in. Stevens identified three ol them us the persons who were present when the cheating was done, and they Were ac- cordingly locked up. The first of the trio, the notorious ** Dutchy ”*Lebmann, gave the name “of Edward Lcon, another claiming to be a news- el paper reporter gave the name of Georgy and a third, who wus for the occasiona’ jewclry .agent, gave the name of Thomas Williams. All tliese are tough nuts, and their arrest will prob- ably close their den for rood. - JIM BENNETT. That Individual Stenls Away in a EuTopesn Steamer~-May’s Whereabouts Still a Mys- tery. Special Dispateh to The Trivune. New YoRE, Jan. 13.—Bennett hns gone to Europe. Mr. Jerome and the business manager ‘of the Herald enid he would not go, but they made a mistake. Most people consider the whole affuir a mistake, so that one more, even if made purposely, could easily be forgiven. Special dispatches and the shipping news agree in the statement that the Herald’s steam' yacht chased the steamship City of Richmond, which gailed from this port this morninz, and that a person boarded the steamship from the yacht. if this person ,was not James Gordon Bennett, another mistake is made, that's all. It i3 said now at the Unfon Club that Bennett had been concealed on his yacht sinci Thursday, waiting a chance to safl, ItYs said also that the only thing he could do for the comfort of his friends and himself alike was to go. Two or three members of the ducling party have lett town for their health, and the general feeling is one of relief.

CHicAGo, Jan. 10.—Since the occurrence of the most shocking of all railroad disasters, that at Ashtabuly, it is the general expression, or wish, that all bridges, cars, and everything con- nected with railway travel could be so recon- structed at once that people could travel with more assurances of safety. But much precious time will be consumed in propositions, argu- ing and discussing this one’s plan and that onc’s plan_and that one’s theory 2s to which is the very best and the most économical. of course, before such bridzes will be constructed that can stand thetests of our rigorous climate, endure the continual wear and tear, and yet bear with .s!nm.y their heavy weights aud ‘precious bur- ens. After all that is said, many lives may yet be sacrificed before the beautifully decorated, but inflammable car wili beexchanged for the plain- er, perhaps, but more reasonably constructed irou car. W. B.'A. most wisely sogzested this improve- ment in a letter to Tue TRIBUSE, Jan. 3. lron cars are now in use for bagzaze and express on the New York Central Ratlroad—why not adopt them universally for the protection of life as well as property? Who from choice, after this, would not rather ride in o baggace, ¥es, evena plain, tidy cattle-car, made prop- erly of iron, than embark in a gilded, palatial wooden one, which may prove, in an accident lize that at Ashtabula, no better pibtection than a beautiful toy-house? A window of glass is provided at cvery seat, and last but not least, ared-hot stove in‘each end of the car, all cos; and inviting to the traveler in the bitter mont! of December, but suddenly the crash of de- struction comes,—down, down they go, human beings, glass, fragments of wood, and fire,—alb confusedly hurled. Nothing ' is lacking now to securc a spcedy and hasty destruction of precious. lives and much valuable property. From the stoves their clothing takes fire, they are com- pletely * hedged iu,” torture is added to tor- ture, they are consumed, and, in someinstances, like that of Mr. and Mrs. Bliss, not as much as alittle urn full of their ashes can be found for buria} by their sorrowing friends, and for them no graves will be madé where the sunbeams rest. Most people are opposed and shocked at the very idea of cremation of the dead, but isn't it horrible to_contemplate the number of living human veings that have been burned this last 1nost memoravle year, simply be- cause some ‘“scrow may have been too loose, or too tight,””—in other words, the result of carelessness and ignorance with no one in particular to blame, but evers- body in general. Itis true all these mecessary improvements in cars, bridggs, and_Leating ap- paratus cannot be made and®idopted at once,— then where shall the beginning be? The public can and should demand that stoves be abolished from the cars before another win- James 7.
