That was n curious spectacle which was
presented in the Court Of Common Pleas on
Thursday. when that gen'lcmany aud uncertain
genius, CuAUNcEY SHtrrER, who resembles the
great NAPOLEON in his personal beauty, dclibe-
rately proposed that the Court should adjourn
out Of respect TO tue memory Of RoBERT Z. Lee.
We venture 10 say that never before In history
has there been any attempt in judicial tribunal

A NEW York correspondent writes:=
"While passing down broadway few days
ago, my attention was attracted by several
Photographic views of great size hanging
in front of the railroad ticket Office at the
corner of Spring street. and which at
once discovered were correct representa-
tions of some of the many localities of
wonderful beauty and interest to be seen
by every one who travels over the PeEbsyl-
vania Central Railroad. Although the
grandest scenery this country affords is
thus correctly portrayed by the artist, no;h-
ing in language or art can describe the
thrill OF delight one experiences in ascend
ing to the highest peak of the Alleghanies
moving amidst clouds and delightful
atmosphere, and at the same time enjoying
the perfect luxury afforded by palace cars
When We consider that this is one of the
best constructed and managed roads in the
country, and, with its connections, is the
shortest route to all points East, its great
popularity with the public is readily ac-
counted for"

Didn't Catch the Train.

The most difficult thing (says cynical
old batch. In the world for woman to do
is to get ready to go anywhere And there
is nothing woman Will resent quicker or
more fiercely than an intimation that she
may possibly miss the train. Our friend
Brayfogle, gives us an instance of this.
Mr.. Brayiogle was supposed to take the ten
o'clock train on the Bee Line, to visit some
relatives iii an interior town. Having suf-
fered on previous occasions for injudicious
suggestions. Bray thought for once he would
let things take their own course. So he
slipped his coffee and ate his eggs on toast,
while madame curled and powdered and
danced attendance ON the looking glass
and tied hair on the back of her head.
Then Bray sat by the stove AN hour
reading the morning paper, while the mad
anne still continued to get ready. At last
Just as he bad reached the final paragraph,
madame sled her bonnet strings under her
chin, took one long, lingering, loving look
at the image reflected in the glass, aud an
nounced:
"Well, my dear, I'm ready"
'Ready for what?' asked Bray in well
affected astonishment.
"Ts go to the depot, to be sure said
Mrs. Brayfogle, tartly. ftlA
"Oh !" said Bray, I'D forgotten. Well.
madame" continued he, looking ut his
watch, THAT train has been gone thirteen
minutes. Just keep ON your things, and
you'll be ready for the train tomorrow
morning"
We draw a veil over what followed. We
are assured, however, that the ne xt morn.
ing Mrs. B. was ready an hour ahead OF
time. "a -

SUPPRESSION OF LETTERS AND PAPERS

SUPPRESSION OF LETTERS AND PAPERS,
A Roman correspondent of the Times says:
Every day have testimony to the fact of
ths espionage and restraint exercised with
more rigor than ever by tie Roman police.
No printed word is allowed to come into or
90 ont of Rome if 1t is not of tone set by
the key of the Inquisition. Look sharply
to it If you wish to make sure of your let
ters, either received or sent. The keeper
of one of the principal reading rooms for
foreigners tells me that there has been no
profit, but rather loss, in maintaining the
establishment the past season. Subscribers
enough he would have, but his newspapers
are suppressed at the postofice IL a word
is found in them criticising anything which
is done here. Sometimes not more than
one number of the London Times is deliv-
cred to him in week, while the petty IN
Justice is added of making him pay the
postage Ola the numbers destroyed. If
there is word OF expostulation the reply
is, keep your mouth shut or you win have
your shop sh It also" The authority does
not relax any of its old despotic brutality,
and seems to exult in giving new proofs OF
how bad government Of priests can be.

The Decline i'm Rents.

The decline in rents in New York and
Brooklyn is certainly remarkable. There
appears to tie glut of both dwelling hous-
es and stores in the market. People leav-
ing for Europe find difficulty in renting
their houses at almost any price. 1 heard
to-day of residence in Thirtieth street
which rented during the war for $4,000
annually, and which is now offered at ST.
500 and no takers. The proprietor is going
abroad for year. and it looks as If ne
would be compelled to hire some one to
take charge of the premises, owing TO his
failure to secure n tenant A residence In
Lexington avenue rented last year for $3.50
per month, furnished. The highest offer
the proprietor can obtain this year lis S225.
Landlords have had their harvest, and ten
ants are promised the privilege of obtain
ing homes again at something Ike reason
able rates. Many dealers in real estate
have been heavy losers by the fall in the
price of property. Since the close of the
war up till this year there has been a great
demand for real estate Everybody who
could bought under the expectation that
values would materially advance; that with
the strong influx and increase of popula-
tion the price of real estate must continue
to go up. They overlooked the fact that
there were thousands of Southerners in the
metropolis who would return to Dixie as
soon as fflirs became substantially settled
ia that quarter.

of a mile from his residence As he dom

-"Entrance next door"-without realizlno
that the spot wherein he stood was the cen.
ter of kingdom. "Next door" is a plain
brick building, being the first fire proof
depository Of deeds and other valuable pa.
pers. Here three or four clerks are busily
employed, and small Office is occupied
by the real estate king. The plan of let
ting honses which prevails here is this

This book is diligently studied, especially
about the first of February, which is the
time for making new leases. When the
rent is determined for the coming year. it
is settled thing, and no one need to try
to b at down.
1t was fortunate thing for the Astor
estate that it was located on the west, in
stead of the east side of the city, since the
one has improved three times as fast as the
other. This incessant improvement re-
quires frequent increase in the magic fip-
ures in he rent roll. For instance, the
eight stores in the basement of the Astor
House, when first opened, were dear at
sl.5OO apiece; but then came the gradual

knows he can get, and then, makes no alb

the rent of any of his buildings, the clerk
viii refer to the book and at once give Won
n conclusive answer. The next question is
the amount of repairs to which it NAV be
entitled, which is generally very fruitful
source of disputes between landlord and
tenant. Mr.. Astor confides this to a man
WHO has been many years in his service.
Nreeland by name and carpenter by trade
Mr. Nrseland is Astor's house inspector
and his report is final. If you can per
suade him that any specific repairs are ne
cesary, your point is won, if not, Won need
go no further. Mr.. Yreeland has a force
OF workmen, who are thus kept busy. Mr..
Astor has one advantage over other land
lords. He pays no insurance He is his
own underwater, and saves all the profit
of that expensive business Were he to
patronIze insurance companies, and ap
praising his houses at So. 900 apiece. he
would have to pay S25, 900 annually for
premiums, where his actual fire risk will
not average one-third of that amount. In
deed. he has been very fortunate in this
point, and doubt if his loss by fire during
the last twenty years will equal So. 900 a

Adventures Of Two English Gentlemen
I'm Rich Female apparel their De-
ctiOu and Arrest

From the Pail Mall Gazette, April 90.
Az Bow street n great crowd as ,embled
this morning to hear the evidence against
two gentlemen vho had been detected by
tho police in frequenting the Strand Thea
tire dressed as women. Their names were
Ernest Boulton, aged %, of 43 Shirland
road. Paddington, gentleman, and Freder.
lex William Park, aged %. of 13 Burton
street, Berkley Square, law student. Hugh
Alexander Mundell, aged 23 of 15S Buck
ingham Palace road, gentleman, was
charged with having been found in COM
pany With the prisoners, but he told the
police and assured the magistrate that he
believed they were women He had met
them on the previous evening. and had
agreed to accompany them to the theatre.
The evidence of the police went to show
that the prisoners were dressed in a FASH
lonable manner as women-in fact they ap-
peared to-day in court attired as they We're
at the theatre last night
Boulton was dressed in a fashionable
crimson silk. trimmed with white lace. He
wore haxen wig with plated chignon.
His arms and neck were bare. He had
bracelets, and n white lace shawl around his
shoulders Park wore a green satin dress
with pannier, fiaxen wig curled, white kid
SioNeS, DIdctittS, anu Dltck lace SHAWL over
his shoulders.
On their rooms being searched, quanti-
ties of women's clothing and jewelry were
found, as well as number of chignons
There were also photographs of the pris.
oners dressed as women in various styles
On being cross examined, the officers stated
that they did not see the prisoners commit
any act OF improperly; they were, how
ever, bowling to gentlemen in the tails
They had been seen about the theatre for a
fortnight, but it was not supposed that they
were men.
Mr.. Flowers said the completeness of the
disguise only made the offense the greater
He should have taken them for women
himself. The defense was that the dis.
guise was assumed ''for lark" Mr.. Flow
ers refused to believe this He thought it
quite possible that Mundell might have
been deceived, and would therefore allow
him to go on entering into recognizances
in elOO. The others wonld be remanded
without bail.

A GHosTLY SIGHT. AT midnight, in a
street in Omaha, black horse, carrying a
ghostly figure clad in white, with long hair
streaming in tlIe win.l, recently appeared.
fhs few pedestrians in the streets fled at
the near approach of the arp,rition, save
one, who at length mustered conrage. and,
siezing the bride of the coal-black steed,
enforced halt. Then spoke the 'sheete0
dead" awakened by the stoppage. aud ex;
planned. She was a somnambulist, residing
near the corner of Eighteenth and Webster
Sts.. and having escaped from the precau-
tons which usually interfered with her
sleep-walking tendencies, had actually rad
died bridled, and mounted her fathers
horse.ss Having explained. she fastened
from her interlocutor, not exactly putting
spurs to her horse, since that wai, under
tbs circumstances, impracticabie. By the
time it is supposed she had returned to her
fathers mansion, the other pedestrians
again made their appearance on the street,
armed with sticks, stones and brickbats,
with a view of attacking the ghost The
explanation repeated by their brayer COM
rade was ungraciously received.

The Delights of the Prize Ring.

A correspondent gives the following
items of the late Mace-Allen fight:
The fight was remarkable in the general
good feeling that prevailed, even to the
fighters. In the long sparring of the frst
round Mace remarked, ats like two
brothers fghting;" and Allen answered,
That's 80, Jim." When Mace struck
Allen the first blow in the stomach, he
asked, "How do you like the darby
Tom?" And when Allen drove Mace's
breath out of him. and made him gasp,
Mace remarked, when he recovered and
came mp again, III you do that again.
Tom, I'll have to hit you on
the nose" and Allen laughed. When
Allen cut through Mace's shoe, into his left
foot. with his spikes, he said, 81 beg your
pardon; didn't mean to-" and Mace smil-
d as he responded, "All right, Tom" BY
the way, in one of the falls Mace spiked
Allen in the right thigh. Before they put
their hands ap Mace took a roll of money
and offered to make side bet with Allen.
Instead of doing this publicly, as is the
custom with most fighters (Allen excepted)
he walked up quietly to Aliens corner and
made the offer, which was not accepted.
1t was in the second round that the most
terrible blow Of the battle was struck, when
Mace put his left bang against Aliens right
eye. The blow must have been square on
the eye. for it made Allen wild. In the
rush that he made for Mace then he missed
him by two feet, whirled around, threw
his right hand mp to the eye, thought the
eye was "gone" forever, uttered an
'Oh !" and dropped. In the fifth
round Mace got Aliens head under
his right arm and punched him five
times in the face before Allen could squirm
down and catch him for a throw; and then,
when Mace fell, he still held Aliens head
and neck, and as Aliens body and legs sent
into the air, the top of his head strnek the
ground with Mace's arm still around it, and
sludder went through thousand men
with the idea that Aliens neck was broken.
And il was remarkable, indeed, that he
escaped. T 81
