A Curious Autograph Collection.

A wealthy Tenth street merchant has
a collection of autographs which for
uniqueness has no comparison outside
Of the possessions Of modern Goulds or
Vanderbilt. Every one of his auto
graphs are worth at least Ave dollars,
and there are upward of SO. 1000 of
them. He began about i've years ago
to collect Eve dollar bills containing
the signatures Of the different national
bank presidents Of the United States.
he has now nearly a quarter Of a mil
lion dollars tied up in this queer scheme,
and declares that his collection is not
complete by many thousands Of dol
lars yet.
He IL willing to give 500 for a five
dollar bill bearing the signature Of
Walter Ross Craymond. who was at
one time president of a short lived
bank at Oneko. o. For some reason
there were only five Of the bills issued.
No trace of them can be found. In.
quiry at the Office of the treasurer OF
the United States develops the fact
that they = still floating about the
country, Il In existence. - Philadelphia

The Old Santa Fe Trail.

T%hirty-dve years after Columbus dis.
covered this continent Alva Nunez
Cabeza de Vaca sailed from Spain and
landed in Florida, or In the region now
called by that name. From there he
made a wonderful overland journey to
the City of Mexico. On that journey
a part Of the way he traversed a route
which ever since has found great favor
with travellers to New Mexico. Just
think of It'll There is a road 800 miles
long, rising 80 imperceptibly for over
600 miles of the distance as to seem alb.
solutely level, and without a single
bridge from end to end.
What wonderful tales that road could
teIl-of the bearded followers of De
Vaca, thin and worn by ~privation and
the fatigue of their long journey through
q wilderness until then pathless-o of the
after settlement of the neighborhood
by the Spaniards-of the coming of the
hardy American pioneer, traders, sol.
diers, settlers and last, but most i'm.
portant of all, the railroad engineers.
Many an exploit Of soldiers, scout and
Indian warrior has that ancient trail
witnessed. Phil Kearny knew it well,
for had he not fought over nearly its
entire lengthi Kit Carson achieved
much Of his fame In its vicinity. and
In the early afties F. X Aubrey, 9
young man, made a famous ride against
