supply of water. Burr applied for a
charter ostensibly for the water COM
pany, but II read Ito supply the City OF
New York with water for drinking pur-
poses, and for the transaction of other
business"
The water works which were built
consisted of some underground pipes
made from pump log. connected with
pumps at the corners of the streets and
some stone tanks, one being still at
Reade and Centre streets. The water
works became the laughing stock and
the butt OF ridicule, but the banking
institution built upon the charter Is
one of the most important in the city.
There is another building downtown
that has withstood the ravages of time
which once belonged to Burr. 1t stands
on the corner of Fulton street, oppo-
site the United States Hotel, and has
been for over half century, and per-
haps longer, devoted to the sale of
drugs and chemicals.
In all the changes that time has
wrought in the topography and struc-
ture in the city the buildings connect
ed with the memory of Burr have es-
capped destruction in some inexplicable
way. They are also in good state
of preservation still.

KING VULTURE.

cessively when food is abundant, till
their crops form a great projection,
and sit long in a sleepy or half torpid
state to digest their food. They do not
carry, food to their young in their
1claws, but disgorge it for them from
their crop. The baroness of their head
and neck adapts them for feeding on
putrid flesh, by which feathers would
be defiled; and they are careful to wash
and cleanse their plumage. The ques-
ton has often been discussed whether
vultures discern dead animals by the
eye, or are attracted to them by the
smell. 1t is certain that they possess
great powers both of smell and of Wis
ion, and the reasonable conclusion ap-
pears to be that both are of service in
directing them to their prey.
The rapidity with which they congre-
gate about carcass has often been
remarked Directly camel or other
beast of burden drops dead, as the car
avian to which it belongs is making
its way across the desert, vultures of
one sort or another appear, often in
considerable numbers, though none
had before been observed by the ordi-
nary traveller, and speedily devour the
body over which they are gathered
together. Vast numbers have often
been seen assembled on a battlefield
to devour the dead.

not see the treason in the transaction
of invading friendly state with an
armed force and, therefore, lent him
self and his money to the schemes of
Burr in getting together the army with
which he expected to set up an empire
beyond the Mississippi. To this house
also came Burr after his trial for trea-
son, and here, with reputation ruined,
he attempted to regain his lost prestige
as lawyer.
Over at the junction of Duane and
Centre streets is a miXed-up group of
old buildings which are said to have
bearing on brief point of history
in the career of Burr. 1t was in the
house called the Sixth Ward Hotel, or
perhaps a house that formerly stood
o. that site, that Burr used to lodge
$0ioman named Chancellor. He had
been denounced in unmeasured terms
as the wickedest man of the century
by Rev. Mr. Morton preacher in one
of the city churches, and on pretense
that a woman was dying and in need
of spiritual aid, the Chancellor woman
decoyed the preacher into the house,
where he came face to face with Burr,
loaded pistol in hand. The design OF
Burr, by some fortunate circumstance,
was frustrated, and the preacher es-
capped.
Another monument to Burr's trick
cry still exists in that neighborhood,
on the corner of Reade and Centre
streets. It is a four-story building
that covers one of the water tanks of
the water company organized by Burr,
and under the charter of which ia
nous banking institution is today do
ing business. 1t was not so easy in
those days to get charters from the leg
islature as it is today, so Burr resorted

The first is the small two-story and
dormer-window house at IL Reade
street. This house is occupied now as
a barber shop, yet within its walls was
plotted the LeGnder's cruise, and the
torch was lighted that started the rev.
dictionary fires IN the Spanish-Amerl-

ing was Aaron Burr's law office and res
idence, and in it he met the filibuster,
Gen. Miranda, and laid the plans to
wrest from Spain the rich colonies OF
the southern portion of the continent.

1t often happens that ice is not OBJ
tainable when most desired, particular
ly in camp. Butter may be kept hard
and fresh without ice by rolling it in
damp cloth which is large enough to
roll several times around the butter.
The roll should be left where there
will be a current of air, and the cloth
should be moistened constantly. The
butter will then keep firm.

When mans stomach is out of order,
and his digestion don't work; when his liver
gets to be sluggish and won't clear the bile
out of his blood, it is time for him to look
out for himself. He gets no nourishment
out of his food. His blood gets thicker and
thicker with impurities. His nerves get irri-
tated. He loses energy and fighting force.
He may say, ~ can stand it, will feel
better tomorrow; but the chances are he
will feel worse tomorrow and worse still
next day. He ought to put himself right at
once. He needs Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t is made for just this condition.
