A barkeeper on Dearhorn street has long had in his possession a bad half-dollar, which he bas repeatedly but vainly endeavored to work off ou some customer who was drunk enousl not to notice that the coin was bad, but not so druuk that it was unoccessary to eive him any change whatever.

Mr. H. C. Berry delivers an interesting lucture deseriptive of all the events connected with each individual scene. Last week a pair of tramps canvassed assidu- ously a residence street in the West Division, and a day or two later two men of aistinzuished looks, ¢lad in_fashionable attire, put inan ap- pearance on the sume street, and ringing at the door of one house asked to sce the lady of the establishment. She speedily came down-staurs, and asked to what she was indebted—"! “You may remember, Madame,” said ove of ther, ‘¢ that not long ago you catertained two peripatetic gentlemen who visited your hos- pitable back-door.” ‘“Two tramps—yes; well, what of it?” responded the woman. ‘“‘Noth- ing, he replied with a fascinating suiile, ouly we were the recipieuts of your bounty. **And vou have come to leave me a fortune?” she said ecagerly. ©Well, scarcely,” be answered with & good-humored smile, *‘scarcelv that, but we are, as we might say, socologists,—students of hu- man nature, as it were. 1f Lremember rightly— my friend here will correct me if I err—yon wore at the time of our visit 8 rageed wrapper, -one of your husband’s slippers, and a veteran towel tied round your head, und your form had - not that rounded grace nor your countenaunce that plow of health and beaury which they now possess.” ‘“Hole in lett stocking, too, and faise teeth in tumbler with a chip out of it on the bureau; raven tresses likewise bung over back of chair with palpi—?

The documents, you will perceive, are in strict legal form. Naturally you will pre- fer that the contents of this aflidavit shall not be published. Its price is 310, including the siguature of the Notary Public, which may come in_handy for your autograph album.

No. madame, we cannot take a pen- ny less than 310, but we have no objection to receiving trade dollars at par.”” The bargain was wade and the cash paid, and the students of sociology departed, remarking that, upon their honor as gentlemen, they would blot from the tablets of their memory all vestiges of the event, while the lady registered a solemn oath that she would blot™ from the tablets of exist- ence with a broom-hundle all vestiges of the next tramp that comes sociologing round her premmises. A REXINISCENCE OF THE (COLVIN~HOTNE TROUBLE. Judee Rogers yesterday morping decided the two cases of Goudy, Chandler & Skinner and Egbert Jamieson against tue city, which have been on trial before him the past two or three days. These were suits bronght to recover the vaiueof legal services rendered the city during the Colvin-Hoyne contest over the Mavoralty. Mr. Colvin at” that time, 1873, employea g\[essrs. Goudy and Jamieson to defend bim, and with success, as the result showed. When the law- vers presented their bills after their victory the Council refused to order them puid, and the former then annouvced suits, Goudy, Chandler, §l golguner claiming $2,500 and Mr. Jamieson ‘The defense was that the Mayor had no power to employ such extra counsel, the contest being a personal one between the two candidates. The authonty was vested in the Council. ‘I'he plaintiffs ciaimed that the citv was at the time without either Corporation Counsel or as- sistant counsel, and consequeuntly had power 1o protect its rights by rewsining other lezal chts. Also, that ™ the fifth scction of the Revistd Charter of 1863 gave such right, which provided that the Comptroller should e¢xercise general supervision over all lezal and other proceedings in which the inter- ests of the city were involved, and, with the ap- vroval of the Mayor, to begin or discontinue such proceedings, and employ extra counsel where neeessary. Un the other hand, the city authorities clained this provision of the charter of 1563 was repealed by the new charter, and the Comptroller’s power curtailed in this direction 80 _that he had no uuthority in such watters. Judge Rogers said the countroversy over the Mayoralty was one o which the public were in- terested, and it was necessary to have it settled as soon as possible. He did not thivk the sec- 8 tion giving power to the Comptrolier in such matters bad been repealed, and in his opinijon the Mayor an Combtroller had the power to enzage counscl. Judaments were then given in favor of the two lawyers for the full amounts claimed by them. An appeal was takeu by the city in each case. E. S. SMITH. The older members of the Bar and those of our citizens whose babitat has embraced a_qu: ter of a century will regret to learn of the de- mise of Mr. Ezekicl 8.

Dexter Jennings, formerly of the State’s Attorney’s *office, has become an attache of Marshal Hildrup's office, and will act as bailiff in Judge Drummond’s cotrt-room. ‘Washington’s Birthday was honored at the Government’s headquarters by the closing ot the Sub-Treasury and the office of the Collector of Customs for the day, and the closing of Col- lector Harvey’s bureau after noon.

Schuman, the draughtsman from the Supervising Architect’s officc who lus been sent here to ascertain what is necéssary to com- plete the plans for completing the new Govern- ment_building, and, incideatally, to inquire into Gen. McDowell’s plans regaraing the pro- posed occupation of the building oy the Post- Oftice, visited the uew structure yesterday und bad an _interview with Gen, McDowell, Assistant Postmaster Squiers, and a num- ber of Post-Oflice gentlemen. The De- partment having put its . olficial ' foot down, so to speak, on the occupation of any- thing'but the basement, the task of deciding how to arrange the space for Post-Oflice uses was somewhat simplified. After some talk, a compromise of views was cflected and pluns drawn up by Mr. Schaman, whicb be will report to the Supervising Architeet’s Bureau oo his return to Washington. The disbosition of the space, according to the present plan, is about as tollows: The Adams, Clark, and Jackson strees fronts will be set aart for the Post-Otlice, the Dearborn strect side remaining under the control of Gen. McDowell. The Railway Mail Agrents will huve the room at the northeast cor- ner of the basement,—Adams and Dear- born,—which they will 'reach by a pass- age-way under the north’ portico aud extending to thearea at the northwest corner—Adams and Clark. At this corner will be the general public stairway, leading from Adams street down to the Dbasement, tne vari- ous oflices_fronting on Clark street, and being arranged ina maosper which will no doubt ac- commodate everybody. The first otfice reached after descending the stairs to the arca below will be the money-order otiiee, in the northwest corner room. The gencral "delivery will be under the north portico, west side. The stamp department will be found at the centre of e Clarkstreet front, in the rear of which will be the clerks, registers,” maling-men, ecte. The Postmaster’s room ‘is_ under the south portico of . the west front. The receiving and meiling room is on the soathwest corner, aud chutes wili be built at the south end of this soutnwest room for receiving the mails. An iuclined plane will be built on which to wheel the wails from the receiving and maii- ing ruoms to the street above, wherea platform will be constructed, und _the “muil-wagons will drive up to it to zet the mails. ‘The fence will be taken down around the building from the chutes to the northiwest corner, and - the whole sji thrown open to the public, additional stairways facilitating the descent to the lower regions, Estimates will be made on this plan for the temporary and the perinanent work, the latier, of course, to be charzed to the Government Building approoriation, and the former to the Post-Office Deparument. It is Gen. McDowell’s opinion thiat this temporary work Will nob cost over $12,000, or $15,000 at theoutside. 3Ir. Schuman will return to Washington Tuesday or Wednesday, and if the plans are accepted the work will be pusned at once. CRIMINAL. Lesser Friedberg was fined $20 and costs yes- terday by Justice Foote for doinga pawnbrok- ing business without a license. Charles Hicks did not malke his appearance yesteraay at Justice Foote’s Court to answer to the charge of vagrancy, and his bond was de- clared forfeited. Billy Bassctt is the surety, and the amount of the bail is $390. A. L. Luetgart, recently arrested upon a3 charge of swindling Peter Weiss out of $416 worth of wine, and discharged by Justice Wil- s0n, was rearrested yesterday and taken before Justice Robinson upon the same churge. Both me live in Nickersonville. At 10 o’clock last evening burelars forced en- trance to the tailor shop of Joseph Gabronski, No. 1016 Wentworth avenue, by raising a side window. They cut open a feather pilfow. ex- pecting to find some money, but they were frizhtencd away before securins anything. Jobn F. Callarhan, who ceme here from South Bend, made an unsuccessful attempt to getout of jail yesterday under the Insolvent act. He preseited a schedule, but it was deemed insuflicient, ete.; beside, there were ev- i idences thut he had made way with property to defraud his ereditors, and iie was remanded to juil. His bail was fixed at $3,000. Ten days ago Terry O’Donnell, of No. 39 West lndiana street, had a pocketbook contain- ing £33 stolen fiom ‘him by awoman named Kittie Nixon, living in a bagnio on Unionstreet. He complained about it, and it_was_returncd, aud the two then went on a * hurrah’ among the gzloons. Agaiu the money was stolen from him, and yesterday he caused the arrest of the cyorian. - Last evening while Officer Daniel Duffy was traveling his post he noticed a suspicious char- acter dodging along the street with something concealed under his coat. The fetlow tried to #et out of his way by dodeing down ibto a base- ment, but the officer followed and found that be had in his possussion a silver stund and tooth-pick cups, which was identified as the one stolen by burglars Thursday night from Cbarles Senaefer's’ resturant, No. 115 Randolph street. When charired with the bure- lary, . the thief gave the name of Frank Miller, and owned up. The eigars, vatued in all at $250, will doubtless be recovered to-day. . In the Criminal Court yesterday morning, the juryin the case of Cristopher Sherilan aud R. G. Day, on trial the day before for robbery, orought in a verdict of guilty and fixed- their punishment at ten years' dmprisonment in the Leuitentiary. The robbery was commiited the 80th of January at the corner of Aberdeen and Van Buren streets at an early hour in the even- ing, and was_onc of the most daring that bas ever oceurred in the city. After this 2 number of prisouers werearraigued. Mary Mack pleaded guilty to larceny and was sentenced to one year in the Penitentiary, aud John McDonald, Willis O'Brien, James Mahoney, and William Reed pleaded gvilty to burglary und were remanded. “The others pleaded uot, gailty.

Lioyd and men yesterday moraing arrested Simon Hayes and William Voods. two men just out of Peni- tentiary, and who were rooming with & couple of strumpets at No. 26 Desplaines street. They had rented a barn at the corner of Hubbard and Desplaines streets, and were keeping a fine team of roan horses, barness, and a sreen double-boxed farmer’s wagon, with white stripe, spring seat, and red rupning-pear. The maker’s aame was seratehed out, showing that they had come by the rig dishonestly. It awaits identification at the Armory. Hayes has served three years in the Penitentiary and Woods one year. Inthe possession of the latter wero found a revolver and a pawn-ticlket dated Feb. 11, and calling for a black dress coat. William Schoenfelt was stenant of Fred Piehl, of No. 747 May street, but was ejected yester- day by legal process for non-payment oi_rent. ‘Tlic former came to the place at 7 o’clock last evening, and, with a lighted railroad-lamp, pro- ceeded to mather up shavings in the basement which_he clnimed belonged to bim. The land- lord, Pichl,objected, fearing that a fire might accidentally be kindled, and some other words of an apgry nature enraged the tenant, who was even then smarting under the igno- miniousejectment. Without a word of warn- ing he hit Pichl over the head with the lamp twice, cutting his face frightfully from the fore- head to the chin, and slitting open the nose and upper lin. The wound was dressed by Dr. Sterl, and though of a painful nature is not consider- ed dangerous. Schoenfelt was arrested short- 1y after the occurrenceby Officer P. O'Brien,and was locxed up at the West Twelfth Street Station. Somebody is deserving of a scoring for care- lessness in allowing some notorious criminals to escape from the County Jail last Wednesdav, The matter was keot quiet, and not a word concerning the affair was even whispered until last evening, when four policemen of the West Twelfth Strect Stationsucceeded}injeaptur- ingr the notorious Joe (forman_at the home of his parents, No. 477 Morgau. Joe and his mother made a_sturdy resistance, and the latter at- tempted to throw boiling hot water upon them. Now' Joe Gorman ourht to have been in jail, for he was held over last week under heavy bail by Justice Scully, and was charered firstly with a2 daring_burglary at the house of Mrs. McDonald, No. 131 West ‘Thirteenth_stroet; secondly, with attempted highway robbery at the Milivaukee avenue via- di thirdly, with an assault with a deadly wenpon upon Officer Smith; and lastly, with complicity in the Goldsmid dia- mond robbery. Upon this latter charge he was discharged before Justice Morrison. The Grand Jury failed to indict him on the second and third charges, but he was held in he.’w%bonds on the first charge. Last Wednesday Payne Fittz asked for Gorman's re- Tease, and as Julius Hcinemaun, the Clerk of the Jail, told Jailer Currier that there were no other charges against him, he was set at liberty. The mistake was not discovered until the next day. Gorman’s accomplices are said to be safely lodged behind the bars, and the watchfulness of the police has -prevented the Clerk’s carelessness from resulting disastrously, HOTEL ARRIVALS.
