Up to n late hour yesterday morning there were members of the Reform City Council who had never scen the manifold beauties of South- western Chieago; they had never gazed with naked eyes npon the sourcos from whence the Invigorating smells entanato which most of them find experienced In thelr homes at divers times during thelr sojourn fn thls great clty; they had never fuvestigated tho mys- terles of the far-famed DBrideweli—thoy were too innovent to bo obliged to go there, and have attended to their own business too asslduously to allow them to go there from any motive of {dlo curfusity. There- fore, it was for the purposo mainly of initiating these innocenta that an excursion was planned for yesterday—to whichthey recelved Individual rnd collective invitatlons—by the older mem- bers of the Council, and sixtcen of the City Fathers stcoped on board of Capt, Cox’s Ben Drake, at Clark street bridee, at 10 o'clock a. nhe headed Ly Mavor lleath, under wlose chuperonageand fatherly guldancethey remained until 8 o'clock last evenng.

Al along the route, ufter tho excursion entered the West Fork, crowds of men left thelr work and came to the bank to raze upon and cheer the stran- gers, At the Chicazo, Danville & Vincennes Rallroad bridge, beyond Western avenue, the buat wus delayed for ubout fliteen or twenty minutes waltlng for a party of aix men to take up the ralla go that the bridge could turn. This Company seems to act upon the principle of the old Dutchman - who lnslsted wupon laving his boy put astonoin ono end of his sack of corn to mnke It balance upon his sboul- der, Iustead of dividing the grain, because his father and prandfather hud done so before him, and he did not want to see any new-fangled no- tiona introduced, Thy Company hasa draw- bridgo over the river, but the ralis of the track lup over the. approuch upon the bridee, and, whenever w craft of any kind takes o notlon to take a sall In ‘that di- rectiun, o forco of from six to elght men fs re quired to transfer the arrangement, wlille hoat ond trains are compelled to remaln wrathful spoctators of the painful operation for about o quarter of an hour. ATRIVED AT TIIE DRIDEWELL, the Drake was halled by Superiutendent Felton, who ass(sted in unlosdfng bor cargo, nnd then he pifoted the passengers to the fnstitution. M(L ‘Throop end Schwelsthal formed the ml- vauce guard, ond they were polutinge for the couk-room, making all” headway possible, when they wero pruvalled upon by Mr, Felton to 1e- turn and visit the brickyards first with the rest of the party.

The excurslunists wero luvited to sit down to a bountiful repast, which all did ample justico to. - After dinuer, ‘Mr. Felton took tho Mayor and Councll out to look at the grounds aud the bullding from the outside, ~ for the pur- puso of o getting un wden of the plans by which on addition could Lo made for'a woman’s departinent without mar- g the symimetry of the ginal structure, Thu Mayor and M7, Felton stuted that such an addition would eventually be needed fn nny cuso, and fn the event of ‘the act prolonging the terms of the vagrants und othier hght offendees beeomingg u permanent law, the audition would speedily becwine a en-uuf.
