His Wife's Signature.

A few days since well-dressed young
man entered an express Office in Cincinnati
and said to the oblging money clerk that he
wished to send some moEey to his wife; tha.
she lived in Boston in fat, and that, her
mail being sometimes tampered with, he
would like to know how to send 1t so that IL
would be absolutely safe. The clerk replied
by showing him the advice card " they use
in connection with orders, on which is a
clause stating that If the sender of the money
has in his possession signature of the
payee, and will paste 1t on the card, the per-
sons calling for the money can identify them
selves by duplicating the signature. The
gentleman replied that he had lots of them,
and, putting his hand in his pocket, brought
out bundle of letters. After examining
several in succession, bland smile spread
over his countenance, and, with a half doubt
full expression, said: "Are you q married
man ?" The clerk answered that he was.
/" Well, them" said be, +" look at this" hand
ing over one of the letters. The clerk locked
and found the cause of the young mans
amusement to be that the letter was signed
not with his wife's name, but with the en-
dearlng substitute, Your ootsey tootsey,"
and 1t turned out they were all so. The
clerk then said: "Well, cut one of them off,
and the agent will cause her to duplicate it."
The gentleman, after some hesitation,
agreed, remarking: aI'll do it, but when get
home I'll expect some lively hair-pulling."

Fifteen Million Dollars an Acre.

A New York correspondent states that in
the more common streets of New York land
is worth from s250,OOO to $350,000 per acre.
In the best part of Broadway its value is in
creased to 100000 per acre; but in the
vicinity Of Wall street It's value Is Intensely y
increased, because this locality is the money
heart of America. The land on which the
Drexel building stands cost Its present own
ers at the rate of SIS, ,Oo0, 900 per acre. 1t oc-
cupies the corner Of Wall and Broad streets,
which may be considered the most valuable
corner on this continent-and yet, when I
was Broad street clerk in 1S40, this very
place was occupied by hat store. The cor
responding value Of property in this neigh
borhood has been illustrated by the recent
sale of the corner of Broad street and Ex-
change Place, which was at the rate Of $15,-
100000 per acre. Hence the Drexel lot was
none too dear. In fact, these dazzling figures
are justified by the immensity of the trans
actions which occur here daily. Almost ali
the railroads on the continent Except New
England) are managed within 800 feet of
his spot, and the general pressure of our i'm
nense financial system gives 1t value which
! few years ago could not have been dreamed

A PHASE OF MEXICAN LIFE.
A Large City Where People Bathe I'm the
Streets.


IeLeT 10 DOStOH ITulScTtpt.
Aguas Calientes, a city of some 10000 in
habitants, Is situated inland, away from the
usual routes of travel, and the capital of the
State of the same name. Its business Is sup
plying the agricultural districts about with
the articles they require. Like all the cities
of any size in Mexico, 1t waa founded by the
Spaniards over 300 years ago. The distin-
gushing feature Of the place is IFS warm
baths. There are numbers In different parts
of the State, but the most noted are situated
just outside Of this city, some three miles
from its center, where the water comes from
the earth at a temperature varying from 26'
to 800 Centigrade; between these limits a
satisfactory temperature can be selected. A
separate building is provided for each bath,
deep, bubbling up from a agravelly bottom,
and large enough for q comfortable swim.
The overflow from these baths is agood-sized
brook, passing along the side Of long and
wide avenue bordered with trees lead:tfs to
the city; making an attractive drive for the
inhabitants In a country where flowing
streams and large.sized trees are SO rare.
Here, too, the washing of the Inhabitants is
done, their clothes and their persons; the
naturally heated waters coming as benef-
cial equalization of nature to make up for
the scarcity of fuel. And during the warm
days can be seen the young women and the.
the men and the maidens, here
disporting themselves with an abandon sug-
gesting the primitive times, before the con-
querors forced their ancestors into sem
blance of clothing.

Jefr Davis and Patriotic Rabbi.

Nep Orleans Christian Advocdte, May 4ui.
In the French Opera House, New Orleans,
on Tuesday evening, Goth ultimo, was as
sembled large and typically Southern au-
dience. Tickets of admission were sold at
81 each, and the house was well filled. 1t
sounded little strange seventeen years after
the close of the Civil War, to hear that large
audience rapturously applauding Mr.. Davis,
when he said "As for mel speak only for
myself-our cause was so just, so sacred,
that had known all that has come to pass,
had known sll that was TO be indicted upon
me, all that my country was to suffer, all
that our posterity was to endure, / would do
IL over and over again." IL fell to the lot Of
Rabbi Gutheim to utter the profoundly phil
osophic as well as patriotic sentiment of the
evening. He said: :. The Southern Histor-
ical Society is anxious 70 set up amonument
In the collection and preservation Of all au-
thentic documents, both official ard unoffi-
cial, that bear on the fortunes and issue Of
that tremendous struggle by which "a house
was divided against ITSELF In order to furnish
valuable materials to the impartial historian

writing history In which nothing isexten-
uated and naught set down In malice II Is

strength or the Union. As, great result,
the war has obliterated Mason and Dixon's
line from the map Of the Republic. Let us

An Eager Reporter.

The eagerness Of interyiewers and report
ers to gain the latest news before it is
learned by their competitors, is well known.
But IL is not often that one of them risks his
life to get comparatively unimportant news
few moments earlier than his rivals, az in
the case given below. The occasion was sthe
ver-to-be-remembered 18th of July, when
fully thirty thousand Fenians crowded the
streets of New York city, resolved that three
hundred Orangemen should not parade that
day, as they themselves had done on the pre-
yious st. Patrick's Day. The empire city
then witnessed a carnage which we hope will
never be repeated.
Protected by the 7th, 9th, Gotham Irish
regiment and one or two other militia regi-
ments, the three hundred Orangemen
marched past the Grand Opera House. They
were surrounded by yelling multitude,
who fired revolvers and darkened the air
with brickbats.
At last patience ceased to be virtue. Sew
eral soldiers had already fallen desperately
wounded. The colonel halted his men and
gave them orders To fire 1t the mob.
The writer was one of numerous band
of reporters, specially sworn in as constabIes,
but was not at the moment In the midst of
the mob, and was out of range of the shot.
However, . friend in the ranks cried, out to
him
"Look out, we're going TO frei"
Thus warned he threw himself on his
face. He heard the command, " Fire!v
The volley followed, and moment after
the mob vanished, leaving the space clear,
except for those who had fallen, woundedby
the bullets Of the soldiery.
On rising, what was the surprise of the
writer at seeing . well-known reporter of the
New York Times, in the midst of the fire,
roll himself over on his side, produce his
notebook, and 20 from one wounded man to
another, jotsing down his name, his age,
where he lived, and the nature of his hurt.
This while bullets were flying and unfor-
tunate reporters were menaced by the mill
tary On one side and the infnriated mob on
the other.

Good Goats.

The farmers Of Hunterdon and Somerset
counties, New Jersey, use goats to protect
their sheep from dogs. Two goats can drive
away dozen dogs, and two are about all
each farmer puts in with his sheep. As soon
. dog enters the feld at night, the goats
attack him, and their butting propensities
are too much for The canine, who soon finds
himself rolling over and over. A few repe-
titions Of this treatment causes the dog to
quit the field, limping and yelling. Former
y, when dog entered sheep-6eld 1t night,
the sheep would run wildly around and cry
piteoussy. Since the goats have been used
70 guard them, they form In line behind tho
goats and ssem to enjoy the fun. The ID
of utilizing goats IN this way came ffom tho
Wests where thsy are put In shsep pans 70
1r1vo oYoY wolves.
