Two ladies, strangers, one tall and slender,
the other short and plump, both young and
elegantly dressed, and each dragging in
her wake a dog, came together about
$50 Saturday evening at Seventeen street
and Third avenue. The ladies would have
passed each other without incident were 1t
not that the short young lady's frowsy Scotch
terrier insisted on scraping an acquaintance
with the tall young lady's spaniel. The
terrier was so impetuous that before his mis-.
tress could divine his intention he
had slipped his leading thong from her
grasp and was capering madly about the
other. The tall young lady had become
alarmed at the fierce onslaught of the ter
rier, and shrieked out: SECT away you horrid
beastl' and to facilitate his departure she
took up the slack OF the rope-none too long
before-attached to her dog, and, lifting
that unhappy brute clear OF the sidewalk,
commenced to turn as IL on a pivot
III an instant the spaniel became in truth
the satellite of his mistress, and as the peril
nacious little terrier chased the flying dog
the b~ystanders commenced to wonder il the
terrier would catch up, his mistress seize him
or the pivote1 young lady have an attack OF
vertigo tefore her unfortunate pup was
strangled. just as the last seemed imminent
tho short young lady caught her pup, called
1t a naughty little doggie;' the tall young
lady soothsi hers, which was acting as IL he
had a bone in his throat, and then the POI
liceman dispersed the crowd.

builders of Washington Monument.
Chicago Tribune

A large force is now at work pushing up
the Washington monument to completion. A
correspondent says that it is now higher than
the Church of st. Peters at Rome, and be-
fore Christmas it will be forty feet nearer
the clouds than any known structure. The
marble blocks of which it is constructed,
which cost about $40 each as they come from
the quarries, trough a~shlers," and $50 more
when dressed, are brought from the
stonecutters' shop on trucks into the
elevator, which occupies the interior
OF the monument. Each stone weighs
about three tons, and the elevate can eesily
accommodate two Of them. "The man at the
wheel" consumes seven or eight minutes in
hosting them. On reaching the top, the
crane, an arm Of the derrick, takes hold of
each stone, and, by a little guiding, the i'm
mense weight is as easily placed in position
as If it were a brick. The corner-sUones are
always set first. Tne two stonesetters have
each four inasons waiting on them, and one
cement man for the two. These eleven men
make up the complement working each day
on the top, and who, II seen at all by people
below them, look about the Sis of infants.

New York Letter in Troy Times.
One of the most striking Instances of ad-
vance is found in the property once known
us Atlantic garden, in the lower part OF
Broadway. The plat is 200 feet in depth, ex-
tending from Broadway to Greenwich street,
with a front of 100 feet on each, the area
being just a half acre. Eight years ago
William II. Vanderbilt bought it, paying
100000, which was then considered a high
price. He had no real use for it, and it is
supposed that he made the purchase expect
ing that the l. road would want it for a
depot, and of course pay literally. No such
demand, however, occurred, aud Vanderbilt
afterwards found it an elephant on his hands
and sold it at Il loss of $50, 000. The next
owner James Steele made the purchase Just
as the tendency Of business To
center at the battery began to create
an advance, aud after the lapse of
six years he sold the property to Dumont
Clark for S45O,0O0. The Field building
aud the produce exchange were then under
way, and values were in this manner so in
creased that Clark sold it soon afterwards
for $1,000 600. The purchaser was Sidney
Dc Kay, who knew that it was the most
available site for a commercial building.
and his enterprise was rewarded by a rapid
advance. He sold it to Charles H. Bliss for
S75O,O0o. One might imagine that by this
time the climax bad been reached; but no.
for Bliss has just sold it to G. +. Stone for a
round million. Here we have an advance of
$4,000 in eight years-an increase which
has no parallel in the history of American
real estate. Can it go any higherf Future
only can tell, but it shows how property will
advance under the growth of business. The
lower part of Broadway was at one time as
quiet as u deserted village, but the erection
of the produce exchange has made it u great
business center.

THE DEADLY COLI COIN.
Thirty-Four Distinct Species OF Bacs
Ieria Found Thereon.

New York Times.l
According TO the assertion of All English
scientific person, bacteria delight in gold
coins. II we take any Of a dozen gold $40
pieces that we may have in our pockets, and
examine il with a microscope, we sha | find
more bacteria on its surface than could be
calculated on the largest blackboard. A
gold coin is a rallyiny place Of all kinds OF
bacteria. The English scientific person
counted on the surface of a sovereign OF
1881 ~thirty-four distinc: species Of bacteria,
each species living by itself in a lot fenced
off from the rest OF the sovereign, but fire.
quently climbn. over the fence to bold in
teryiews with other bacteria. Among them
lac recogniz ID the various bacteria that pro-
duce consumption, plague, c-oleri, railway
accidents, wooden legs, and certbro spinal
meningitis, and he has no doubt that speci
mems of the bacteria that produce every
other misfortune to which flesh is heir are to
be found on that same sovereign.
10 test the truth OF this discovery, he in
oculated Il dog with the railW a~y-acoident
bacteria, and a broken-down chair with the
wUoden-leS bacteria, and In less than a fort
night the dog was run over by a horse car on
the Iottenham Court road tramway, and the
chair received a new wooden les-a front
one-at the hands OF a cabinet maker. The
scientific person afterward inoculated a cat
- hHO tchpiiieu scIhpinRs OI DOLn SIDES OF
the sovereign, thereby, as he believes, pro-
vidiug her with thirty-four diseases. 1t SO
happened. however, that the hot-water-pro.
ducing bacteria developed in the cats sys-
Tern more rapidly than any other species, and
the cat died from the effect OF having u
bucket of hot water poured on her by the
cook before she furnished any symptoms of
plague, cholera, or clergymen's sore throat.
The news Of this discovery will send IA
thrill of horror through the whole commuI.-
ity. 1t shows that we are carrying daily In
our pockets complete m~enageries of bacteria.
and thus running the risk of inocuiatimg our.
selves with all sorts of diseases. If a solitary
one of these bacteria is brushed off the golf
coin on which he resides and obtains an entry
into our lungs or circulatory system, we must
Inevitably break out with smallpox. scarlet
fever or some other equally obnoxious COM
plant. There is absolutely no safety for US
as long as we carry gold coins, and every
prudent man will hereafter refuse to accept
them, no matter how much he may lose
thereby.
