A Rnildinp With q. History,

Among all the buildings in New York
city to-day there is not another that has
so ancient and eventful a history as the
hall of records, or registers office, in the
City Hall park. 1t was about the middle
of the last century, when Broadway was
a country road, when the only theater
stood on the site of the present world es-
tablishment,whe center street was lake,
William street was swamp, Canal street
river, and the Bowery lonely lane,
running up through huckleberry bushes.
During the Revolutionary war this
building was the chief British prison for
distinguished patriots. Here Capt. Nath-
an Hale, the intrepid Yankee, was con-
fined after his capture with plan of the
British defenses of Long island in his
shoes, and in the public common adjoin-
ing, exactly where the city hall now
stands, he was hanged as spy. Here
that tough old rebel, Ethan Allen, Ticon-
deroga fame, was imprisoned after his
capture while trying to take Montreal
with thirty men; and his treatment and
that of others caused the building, which
now stands near the city hall station of
the elevated road, to be regarded by the
patriots with about the same adherence
as attached to Andersonville after the late
war.
When the British evacua ed New York,
in November 1888, the iailer, Cunning
ham, having won the same Infamous rep
utation as the confederate jailer Wirz,
was asked by his patriot prisoners,
"What is to become of us?''
'You can go to the develn' shouted
Cunningham, as he flung the keys into
the middle of the floor and made off.
1t was forty or fifty years after that
before the bastile Of the revolution was
remodeled and the bell transferred to the
Bridewell. It now rings prisoners to "a
tions and prayers over on Blackwell's Is
land.

An UnsOlved Problem.
TyanooS tQr Taller

The Lancaster Teller submits the fol-
lowing knotty problem to confding read
ers of partisan republican newspapers:
1t is said that up to the 10th of this
month 2,156 presidential appointments
have been made by Cleveland and acted
on by the senate. So much has been
seen in the papers about the thieves,
murderers, forgers, and convicts gener-
ally, appointed by the present admins
tration, that it might have been expected
that from one-third to one-half of these
would fail to be confirmed by the senate,
especially as the senate has a republican
majority. It seems however, that all
were confirmed but six! 1t surely cannot
be that the newspapers have been lying
about the men appointed, and slandering
them. Yet if they have not, are ap-
pointments that come under the above
classes the kind to suit our republican
senate? The problem needs solution.

The strikes of the last five years are to
be discussed at length in the next annual

statitics. Commissioner Wright already
has several men at work collecting data
Newspaper files are to be searched care
fully, and, after names and dates have
been secured in this way, original in
quiries will be instituted: Mr.. Wright
expects to make up a complete list of
the disturbances in the labor world. This
having been done, comparison and iudg-
ment will be applied to the determination
of the lessons taught. 1t is likely to be
found for one thing that the percentage
of successful strikes is small.
