The London Times, following the example
of the HERALD, has taken to interviewing the
prominent men of the day. We print this
morning one of its efforts in this direction. A
Times correspondent sought and found Mar
shall Bazaine in his temporary prison house at
Versailles The Marshal was not unwilling
to be interviewed. With much cordially he
received the representative of the press, and,
with reasonable amount of freedom of
speech, he answered the questions put to him.
The statements made by the Marshal will be
read with oil the more interest now that the
government has received the report of the
Committee on Capitulations and has decided
to proceed with his trial. Bazaine makes out
q good case for himself. Itremains to be seen
what is the evidence in the possession of the
government From the statements of the
Marshal himself it is difficult to come to any
other conclusion than that the trial will breal,
down. Unwilling TO PREJUDICE the case, we
commend to the careful consideration of
our readers the Marshals own view of il.
His was certainly most difficult position.
He may have erred in judgment but it is
difficult to believe that he played the part of a
traitor.

The WASHINGTON MARKET Jon. Every tag
payer in New York is interested to know if
there is a plot to give the valuable ground
numbered by the dilapidated Washington Mar
ket structure TO ''ring" of greedy specula-
tors for q merely nominal price. Every owner
of real estate in the lower part of the city has
special reasons to inquire whether the ancient
eyesore and prolific source of stencil is to re-
main breeding discomfort and disease, or is to
be replaced by proper public market worthy
of New York, or whether the ground is to pass
into other uses more likely to enhance the
value of adjacent premises If the locality is
still to be used for market purposes there is
no reason why the city should fail to receive its
fair value on purchase or rental, and If by any
trick this is defeated the authors Of the cheat

Receiving Visitors. Hfa
The corridors of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, where
President Grant is stopping, were yesterday o
little more thronged than usual. There were sight
secrs from the country, who would have con-
sidered 1t a matter of dreadful consequence not
to be able TO relate to their neighbors how
they caught glimpse Of the President
during their explorations Of New York. But
there were also denizens OF the metropolis
who were actuated by equally absurd motives
men who had been hangers-on in the throng that
surges about ST. James, and had copiously show
cred fve-franc pieces upon couriers and guides to
get glimpse OF continental royalty. These men
who had lived at the LanPham and the Grand
hotels, had never visited Washington and they
were a&

Occasionally the Chamber Of Commerce
shows some practical views with regard TO the
necessities and future of New York. AT the
last regular monthly meeting of that body. ON
Thursday, . report was presented for memo
rialzing the Legislature to provide for the
enlargement of Spuyten Duyvn Greek, in
order to establish clear navigation between
the East and North rivers, and asking for an
appropriation of five hundred thousand dol
lars from the State for the purpose On tho
suggestion of Mr.. Ruggles the matter was re-
ferred to the Committee on Canals, with in
structions to report at special meeting on
the 18th of April We hope the Chamber Of
Commerce viii notebook at this proposition in
any narrow or ime-serving manner when
it comes mp for consideration, but will take Q
comprehensive view Of it. There ought to be an
Immense ship canal, with the best docks.
wharves and warehouses, all the way from the
East River TO the North River, and concen-
tration of all the railroads at that point, 90
that produce and merchandise could be dis
charged and shipped orreshipped at the small
est cost The canal boats and cars and ocean
vessels might then come close to and discharge
into each other, or from and into warehouses
that would rise from the water edge, as those
at the docks of London and Liverpool do. The
saving of time and expense would be immense.
and no other city in the United States could
then compete with New York in the cheap
handling and shipping of produce and mar
chandise. But the work must be on
grand scale, having in view the wonderful
future Of this commercial metropolis and the
Republic We recommend the Chamber Of

broad light and prepare for the future accord

The SIXTH AVENUE PROPERTY HOLDERS op-
pose the introduction of the elevated railway
on their street, because as they say, it will
depreciate the value of real estate. The same
plea, if admitted in this case, would exclude
the improvement from each and all the other
streets in the city. Where, then, are we to es-
tablish any line for rapid transit between Har-
lem and the Battery? Perhaps our Sixth ave-
nue. property holders can tell us.

About SIX years ago an event happened which
made it more berry than ever. The Excise
law which shut the front doors Of the liquor
stores in New York on Sundays did not inter-
fere with the ferries, and Hoboken reaped
glorious harvest. The lager beer men there
were wild with delight; Jersey lightning
played around the heads of the thirsty and
oceans of lager were guzzled. 1t was q satur-
MALTA of beer swilling ct five cents glass, and
Elysium became Infernum at leap. II was
the Alsatia Of thieves and robbers and MUIR
derous assault was expected weekly from Ho-
boken. Highway robbery was revived. The
Waterman at the ferry was murdered and
thrown into the river. The knife and the
pistol flashed and cracked triumphantly. The
ocean steamers were making the water front
their wharfng place. The city behind was
growing, and oil Hoboken's poetry was
squeezed to death between bricks and mortar
on one side and lager beer barrels on the
other. Its respectable memory is only a
name, and there need be little wonder that it
wishes to efface its later notoriety by falling
into the arms of Jersey City.
Hoboken has suffered from its relation to
New York. There is, we believe, nothing alb
solutely demoralizing in the place itself.

such storm. But this was fortnight
longer after the equinox than the late
Atlantic's trip, and Captain Murray's was,
at best, merely accidental run, counter
balanced by the succeeding Northwestern which
turned on the Adriatic as she neared the
American coast. Captain Williams, in his last
and ever memorable voyage, SO far from maxi
ing such an extraordinary run, had his speed
brought down by heavy westerly and south
westerly gales TO one hundred and eighteen
miles day. Every fact shows that, in send
ing him to seq with ten days supply of coal,
the managers Of the White Star line defed the
elements OF the stormiest ocean of the globe,
at the stormiest season, when, as in the case of
the Algeria and Of other steamships, the winds
alone, without accident, might have kept the
Atlantic, under full head of steam, for more
than twenty days. A more glaring and daring
act OF negligence--for act it was--cannot be
conceived. 1t is evident, therefore, that the
public can have no confidence in such man
agement, and, indeed can never be safe till

Thieves at Their Work.

To show the extremes to which the thieves of New York city carry matters, we quote from local paper as follows: As a gentleman was entering q street car on Monday and in crowded thor oughfare he was met by two we'll dressed men, who 1eaped upon the op- posite side of the platform and prevented him from entering the doorway. Two other men stepped up behind him, and at the same moment the car was stopped to allow a lady to get on. The gentle man was then crowded to the edge of the doorway by the thieves, who were diffuse in their politeness to the lady, his arms were seized, raised to the level of his shoulders, and firmly held, and one of the gang grasped a small satchel which the victim held in his hand and on receiving Q remonstrance apologized for the act. In the mean time, various fingers were searching the pockets of the man 50 beset. These movements were of the most rapid character, for the car had gone only half block when the gang jumped of: In the course of their explorations. they had withdrawn half way from the gentleman's pocket an old newspaper which they neglected to take. The romance of the incident lies principally in the fact that in that old newspaper were wrapped 20 $50 bills, or $1 ,O00 in current funds. The newspa- per, in this instance, fulfilled the inten- tion of its owner, as the thieves were deceived by the package, which was prepared for such contingency. The conductor was evidently aware of the character of the four passengers who left the platform so rapidly, and, in- deed, he witnessed the whole proceed ing, for, in response to an inquiry, he said he had not dared to interfere, as his life would have been endangered if he had attempted it with no one upon whom to rely for aid and protection.

Drawing a Bear.

"On my return march to Sirdarpore, 7" says Gordon Cumming, "I sent my men ahead to mark game on tho Vindyah hills, and on reaching my tent, four miles from Tirla, I found that two bears had been marked. The grass had been burnt and the ground was perfectly bare throughout the jungle.
 "On the side of very steep slepe, thinly studded with tall treas, was bit of rock searped to the height of seven feet, and extending some twenty yards along the face of the hill. Under this rock were some holes, into which the bears had gone in the early morning. We went very quietly down till we reached the edge of the scarp, when one of the men, pointing over, showed me the snout and two forepaws of sleep ing bear protruding from hole at the base of the rock. At the mouth of this hole grew peepul-tree, and the noise made by the rustling of its green leaves in the wind prevented the bear from hearing our footsteps. The body of the beast was inside the hole, and the only effect of low whistle was to make him move his head to the right and left. At length l cast down small pebble, which he made grab at with his fore paws, and then threw himself back in the hole with his hind legs protruding. At length he disappeared altogether, and though we threw down sticks and stones, he would not show.
 "The aforementioned peepul-tree grew up the face of the rock, and now directed one of my men to climb out into the tree, and having tied a stone into the end of his turban, to shake it over the mouth of the hole. The ruse succeeded admirably. The bear rushed out, and as he rose on his hind legs and furiously attacked the dangling turban, l shot him through the head, and he fell. We then went down to the mouth of the hole, and lit fire of dry grass, wood, and green leaves. A dense smoke was carried into the hole, and soon after the she bear bolted with the cub cling ing to her back. I shot the old one, and then running in, captured the cub, which we took home alive.
