Practical Official VITA few nights ago,
the Mayor Of New York was among the pas
sengers who arrived, says the Tribune, in the
steamboat Columbus. The boat had scarcely
touched the wharf when the deck was crowded
with insolent cabmen who thrust their whips
and cards at the passengers, the Mayor among
them. He took every card that was offered,
and moved along among them as we'll as he
could until some one had the honor of being
up before him recognised him and gave the
alarm. The decks were cleared as quickly if
the whole police force had performed the oper-
alton, and In trice every man was quietly seated
on his cab. On friday morning, some half
score Of those who had given their cards to
him, were introduced formally to him at the
Office, where there cases were disposed Of by
fine or by taking away their licenses.
