THE weather Crews milder, the
President still dalies among the
orange groves, the agile sporad is
looking for soft place TO jump, the
ID of June draws nearer aud Dr..
Buncombe, Of the great National
Board of Health, sees no immediate
chance of lingering that 100000 apN
preparation. At least it begins to
dawn upon him that the President
NAV have the hardihood to differ with
the Sanitary Council of the Missis-
sippi valley. The impression is that Or
Buncombe lies upon his death bed; that
his breath must soon leave him, in
spite Of all the bolstering up his
creatures have done, and that the
next lift" he receives will be into the
hearse Oblivion. Strong hopes were
entertained of his recovery at first,
but his best friends have now given
him up. His warmest advocates here
announced yesterday that there was
no hope, and are preparing for the
funeral. They wish to be remembered
in his last will and testament, hOw>
ever, and if he must kick the bucket,
hope for legacy in the shape Of an old
barge or two, now at Presidents

An Era Of building.



Activity in the real estate market
and 10 building now prevails 10 nearly
every American city. New Orleans
last year erected over 300 houses
costing g, 800, 900, an unusually large
amount OF building for this city, and Z
very creditable showing, indeed. MOI
has this boom stopped, for innumera,
bic houses, and as a general thing
houses of a superior class to those for.
merly erected here, are now going uI
in various parts of the city.
New York, also, last year invested
more money in brick and stone than
ever before, the official figures of the
bureau Of building being $40, O4l ,l67
expended on 256l houses, whereas the
average for that city for former years
has been only $50, 900, 900 year.
The average amount expended on
each building, &c., 200, shows how ex'
travagant and expensive city New
York is, and how rapidly 1t is becOm-
ing more and more Parisianized. Oh
these new buildings only 5S5 were
dwellings, SO that very few of the 30
600 people added to the population Of
that city this year will secure homes.
Against these 5s5 dwellings are 1851
fats and eight hotels. These $4,000
new Corners, therefore, will have to
distribute themselves as follows: In
dwellings, 5000: ia fats, $4,000 With
this showing what will be the New
York Of the future?-A city of fats,
tenement houses and hotels, where
everybody boards or lodges, and where
homes are few and infrequent'

An excellent suggestion is made by
Mr. II, j. Penrod, the author of a
universal ocde of weather signals, as to
the distribution Of weather la0lca>
tions. AS he says, large class OF
people interested in the weather pre-
dictions can net visit tbs pOstothcss,
telegraph c6ces, railway stations, aud
Newspaper Offices Ehsrs the bulletins
Of the Western huresr are &c be seen,
and system to promptly convey the
predictions to the people is needed.
Mr.. Psnrod has devised code by
which the weather predictions may
be signaled on railroads, trains,
steamboats, aud stages, either by use
Of figures or colored discs, and in
every town by the use Of flags, bells
or cannon. It might be difficult
to read figures on railway trains, but
large colored discs could be readily
distinguished, and their use to
signal the weather predictions might
be a great advantage to farmers to
whom the representations OF the
weather bureau seldom come until
after their fulfllment. 1t would also
be difficult to understand what wealth
er to expect from the firing Of cannon
or the ringing of bells, for mistakes
would be made as to the number Of
guns fred of bells rung. But there
would be no difficulty in distinguishing
the color of flags displayed on a tall
flagstaff, and that mode of signaling
the weather predictions would be
useful in all towns and villages having
a telegraph. The people who, next to
navigators, most need to know the
weather predictions are the least able
to obtain them, and it would be a
great benefit to the rural population,
If weather signals we're carried by
railway trains and displayed from flag
stats in every telegraph town.

Tapping the Telegraph.
Chicago Letter.


A lively breeze has been created by
the discovery that bucket shop firm
has tapped the Board of Trade tele.
graph wires and were thereby obtain
ing the regular market reports as
promptly as the Board of Trade and
its customers themselves. The man
ner OF accomplishing the steal was by
tapping a regular Western Union
commercial department" wire at an
obscure point. The tap wire was
then run to private room and set
of Morse instruments attached; the
wire then grounded. Close to
the instrument was placed a
telephone. The wire of this
telephone runs to room on another
street some blocks distant. On
small shelf in this room a Morse
instrument is placed in the morning
and carried away in the evening, the
ground wire connecting with gas
pipe. A TELEPHONE is on the wall near
the shelf on which the telegraph in
strument is placed, so that an operas
tor may sit with one hand holding the
telephone to his ear, and with the
other operate the telegraph instru>
ment as the reports come through the
telephone.
How many more Of these clandes-
tine connections there are is not
known, but the telegraph officials say
they are not surprised that they have
been msde,a las a skillful operator could
make any number of taps and not
be detected; also, that it would not
be surprising if every bucketshop in
the city was on a circuit within a
month. They say they are bound
to have the markets, and cannot be
prevented
