A New York Theft.

A New York Thsft.
A New York paper tells how atheft II
that city was inaugurated and carried ou
successfully:
1t appears that as the agent Of ferry
company with bag containing $95 walked
aboard the ferryboat he observed a man
dressed in the garb of a boatman, close
behind him. His suspicious were no
aroused, however, until he observed th'
supposed boatman pull out handkerchie
and, swinging it, strike the bridgemar
across the eyes as he passed on to the
boat from the bridge. He, however, dis
missed him from his thoughts for the
nonce, and walking forward deposited his
bag of money in the room of Engineer
Rasche, who was standing by his engine
As the vessel moved out from the dock
the occupants of small boat that was un-
der the stern of the Barney threw line
to another man, dressed as boatman,
and asked him to fastep it in the ring
hook. The obliging boatman complied,
and as it is a common practice for boat
men, when the current is rapid, to hitch
on to the ferryboats, this msneuvre did
not excite the suspicion of the ferry-mas-
ter in the least. a moment latter the
three occupants of the boat again called
to the boatman and requested him to pass
the end of the rope under and over the
center of the guard chain to them, that
they could drop away when they desired.
Again the obliging passenger complied.
About this time the other confederate
moved forward to the engine room, near
the outside of which Cofie was standing,
little suspecting any foul play. Step
ping up to the door, the fellow reached
into the engine room, and, while lighting
his cigar, took in with glance the loca-
ton of the bag, which lay on the seat IN
rear of the engineer. Retiring he walked
up and down the deck smoking until the
boat was within hundred yards of the
Williamsburg shore. Calling again to the
door of the engine room, and standing
three feet in the rear OF Cotfie, heintently
bent his view upon the machinery until
the signal was given to slow down. The
moment Rasche's hands and eyes were
employed directing his engine the daring
pirate snatched the bag, and rapidly run
ming to the rear of the ferry yboat, threw it
into the small boat. Coffie and Rasche
quickly detected the movement, and ran
to the rear of the boat in pursuit, but as
they neared the thief he leaped into the
water from the deck, and just as Cothe
Jumped to catch the line of the small boat
it slipped over the chain and the boat
dropped astern. One of the occupants OF
it cried out, "Take him up quick, and
within a minute the boatman had been
rescued from the water, and before the
ferryboat could be put about the thieves
and their booty disappeared out of sight
under some of the piers. Subsequently the
fellow who had struck the bridgeman with
his handkerchief, but who had taken no
part in the robbery beyond securing the
boats hawser and handing the end OF it
back to its occupants. was arrested by an
officer of the Brooklyn force as he left the
ferry boat, as an acccmplice. He mos
positively denied the charge. He gave
his name as William Tracy and was held
for further examination.

WHAT SHALL WE EAT.

This is an important question in these
times Of high prices Dr. Hall, in a late
number of his Journal Of HenJth-a good
authority by the way-says the cheapes
article Of food at present prices are bread
Especially corn meaD, butter, molagses,
beans and rice. He shows that 25 cents
worth Of flour, at eight cents per pound,
contains as much nourishment as So 25
worth Of roast beef at 25 cents per pound;
and that a pint Of white beans. COSTING
7 cents, has the same amount Of nutrj,
ment as 81 pounds Of beef at IS cents
per pound, or, IN other words, that the
roast beef diet is twelve times as expen
sivo as the beans. Furthermore, a pound
Of Indian meal will go as far as a pound
IF tine flour, costing nearly twice as
much.
Here are some of the common articles
Of food, showing the amount Of nutri
ment contained, and the time required
for digestion:

FARWELL's ARTEsIAN WELL. - John

near his new building, corner of Franklin
and Monroe streets, Chicago, last Chri t.
mas, sent the drill down through thou
sand feet OF Niagara limestone, and at the
depth of fifteen hundred feet struck wa
ter. 1t discharges through five-inch
pipe at the rate of sixty thousand gallons
an hour.
This is abort one-sixteenth the capacity
of the Chicago water works, and cost ten,
thousand dollars. 1t is estimated that the
entire cost of sixteen wells would not be
SO much as the annual expense of the
water works.
The water is to be distributed to all
parts of the Farwell establishment, to be
used in case of fire, and also to be used to
work their elevator, which is now run by
steam.

According to the above tables, cucum
bers are OF very little value, and apples,
cabbages, turnips, and even potatoes, at
present prices, are expensive eating.
Some vegetables and fruits should, how
ever, enter into the family consumption,
even if purchased for sanitary reasons.
Among those which contain the most
saccharine matter, sweet potatoes, pars
nips, beets, and carrots are the most nour
ishing. Roast pork besides being an ex
pensiVe dish, requires too lengthy a
strain upon the forces of the stomach to
be healthy article of diet.

! BOARDING HOUSE EPI-
SODE.

The Baltimore american gives
this:
There appeared, few days since,
at boarding house in the southern
section of the city, a pretty looking
young man, and engaged board, but
was informed by the landlady that
owing to pressure upon her accom-
mocations she would be obliged to
room the new conner with one of her
best boarders until such time as a
spare room could be had. To this
the young man assented, but not
without some reluctance, he stating
that he preferred a room to himself.
but under the circumstances he would
room with the ''best boarder" for a
few days. The first night that the
new boarder retired to rest, he did
so in the dark, and insisted on sleep
ing next to the wall, and it was no
ticed by the "best hoarder" that his
chum occupied but little of the bed,
sleeping, as it were. upon the rail.
In the morning the new conner COM
planned of feeling unwell, and did not
leave the bed until after his bedfel-
low had vacated his room.
For three nights this same pro
gramme was followed; on the fourth
morning discovery was made by
the chambermaid which created con-
siderable excitement in the house and
when made known to the s.best
boarder," paralyzed him with aston
ishment. On the morning in ques-
ton the chambermaid entered the
room Of the >boarder just as he
was about adjusting his clothing,
and discovered that ''he was she,''
And now she begged not to be expos
ed. But the chambermaid being
unable to retain within herself such
a rich joke, especially after what had
befallen the ''best boarder." dis
closed the secret which she had dis
covered, and upon the landlady GO
ing in quest Of the bogus young man
it was found that he had fled the
house. Since then it has been dis
covered that several articles Of jewel
ry and clothing have been missing
from the boarding house.

'THE Soldiers Homestead Act which
has become a law provides that every
soldier and officer, who has served in the
army of the United States during the
rebellion, for ninety days or more, shall
be entitled to 100 acres of land"

going the rounds Of the press, is erroneous,
and intended to raise false hopes. The
bill simply provides that the time of ser

the five years residence required by the

one having served three years as a soldier

For SMoKERs.-The question of how
old cigar should be before being smoked
IS often disputed one. Cubans like a
green cigar. The workmen, who ought
to know, smoke the cigars as they make
them. If you go to certain well known
cigar store in New York, already quite
celebrated for its Cuban cigars made in
the city, and buy cigar there, before
handing it to you the very courteous Gu
ban will, with great deiberation, first
apply the cigar to his ear. You ask
