Of the Treasury, be empowcre! tf remove officers and directors of a bank for violations of law. first pivln such offlcer3 and directors an opportunity to be heard, leaving the vacancy so created to be filled in the usual way. "Fourth That no executive officer of a bank or employe thereof be permitted to borrow fun is of such bank In any manner except upon application and approval by the Ixxird of directors. "Fifth That the assistant cashier, in the alnce or inability of the cashier of a national bunk to act, be authorized and empowered to sign the circulating notes of such Kink. "Sixth That the law may be amended by appropriate legislation so as to empower some claw of public officers to administer the general oaths required by the provisions of the national bank act. "Seventh That bank examiners be requirevl to take an oath of office before entering upon the discharge of their duties, and to pive a bond in such amount and with such securities as the Controller of the Currency may require. "Eighth That the Controller of the Currency-, with the apporval of the Secretary of the Treasury, be empowered to appoint two Keneral examiners of conspicuous ability and experience to be paid out of the reimbursable funds, whose duty it shall be to visit, assist and supervise the various examiners in their several districts in onler to secure uniformity in method and greater efficiency in work, "Ninth That the law be so amended as to provide that the compensation of all bank examiners be ifxed by the Controller oft he Currency, with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury." The question of loans to directors is discussed and a distinction drawn between directors who are merely directors and those who constituted the executive officers of the bank and are paid by the bank for their services. Lron the subject of currency legislation Is the following: "The Controller has been urged to make some specific recommendation with respect to a revision of the law eo far as it pertains to the issuing of currency. After a careful consideration of the question the Controller is of the opinion that, asld- from the amendments heretofore suge3ted allowing banks to issue circulating notes to an amount equal to the par value of the bonds held to secure (circulation and abolishing a portion of the tax on national bank circulation the public g'od will be best subserved at this tlm-? by making no radical change in the provisions of the law as it now stands. The linancial situation of the past months was not the result of either a lack in the volume of currency, of when there is now a plethora, nor a want of elasticity in the present system erf issuing it, but arose from a loss of confidence on the part of the people in the solvency of tho distinctively monetary institutions of the country. "In viow of t.ie fact that there is now a very great abundance of unemployed currency in the country, as is shown by the dedly money returns from the commercial centers, it would seem that whatever needs appeared some months since for enlarging to any marked extent the circulating medium, has now ceased to exist, and, therefore. Congress Is afford oil an opportunity cf giving to the whole subject that careful research and investigation that its importance in all ofl ts bearings demands. It will not do to place upon the statute books liny experimental legislation upon this rub?ect, but whenever a new law governing ank issues is enacted it must be one that Immediately upon going into operation commands In every respect the confidence of the whole and insures them a system of currency issue as safe in every respect as the present one, but with none cf its defects. In the meantime. It is respectfully suggested that Congress, either through a monetary commission, created for such purposes, or through the appropriate committees, obtain detailed information of the various systems of banks of issue now In operation and also such information as can be ascertained from skilled students of finance and practical financiers, that It xnay be able to formulate a system complete and harmonious." INTERSTATE COMMERCE.

Annual Report and "Recommendations of the Commission. WASHINGTON, Dec 3. The seventh annual report of the Interstate-commerce Commission was made public to-day. Attention Is called to the peculiar office of common carriers and the dependence of every occupation upon their facilities; the light of every person to receive just and equal treatment in all that pertains to public transportation and -the paramount purpose of regulating enactments to secure to the people the actual enjoyment of this light. There must be a common public rate, prima facie, just and reasonable. There must be a common public rate, prima facie, just and reasonable, which measures the lawful charges of the carriers. The enactment of the long and short" hrfcl clause was deemed a public necessity. It Is nothing more than an extension to places of the rule forbidding unjust discrimination between persons. The operation of tho long and short haul provi-slon Is stated to have been satisfactory under the construction put upon it by the commission and accepted generally by the carriers, liut the effect of a decision of the Court of Appeals in an Iowa case, wherein the wonl "line in the statute was given a ""wholly different, meaning from that which the commission had held was the proper construction, has been startling. This court decision has been followed and expanded by other courts. These decisions hold in effect that one railroad is a line, that a connecting road is a different line. , and that these railroads are still another line, and so on; and that rates on one line are not to be compared with rates on another. The commission holds that the word 'line" means a physical line, the tracks of one or more railroads, and that a line may be extended over other roads by simply connecting the tracks. It Is believed that "tramp" vessels on the lakes operating under fluctuating- rates prevent the "regular" lines from publishing through rates In connection with rail carriers. But certain methods pursued by the "regular" lines are as obnoxious as those cf the "tramp" vessels. Further statements are made with regard to publication of rates for water and' rail transportation and recommendation is made for amendment so as to bring these water carriers under the law. The commission recommends additional legislation on the following subjects: First With respect to proceedings to enforce the lawful orders of the commission. Second To give legislative construction to the wo.xls "line" in the statute. ThirdV-To provide for establishing through routes and joint through rates. Fourth To give the commission power to prescribe minimum as well as maximum rates to competitive points. Fifth To provide for the adoption of a uniform freight classification. Sixth To make corporations subject to the act liable to Indictment for violations of the law. Seventh To provide a penalty for failure on the part of carriers to file their annual reports within a specified time. ; The commission also calls the attention of Congress to the subjects generally considered in the body of the report and the suggestions therein, made with a view to further extension of the act by additional amendments. Treasurer Report Delayed. WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. The estimate of the Secretary of the Treasury of government expenditures and receipts for ihe fiscal year 1SD1-93 has not yet been given to the public. It has been held later than usual possibly because the Secretary was desirous of having the tariff bill take definite shape that he might form an idea of th? revenue to be expected from the proposed law. He has also been hopeful that times might improve and the revenues Increased, and if this change bad taken place It would also have been a guide to him. On thi3 hope he has however, been diappointed. There has been a constant falling off In the customs duties paid since July last and a big decrease for each month this year, as compared with corresjonding months of last year. Ther? has been a loss In these five months over the same months of 1SU2, amounting in the aggregate to about JS.'XmVirt. and during the month of the present year the collections were a little over Jl'VUW, as compared with 57,OiV.'i'O for November. Tho fiovornor 3Iny Re Impeached. DENVER. Col., Dec. 2. Warden Frank A. Mcl-ister has remained undisturbed in possession of the Stflte penitentiary at Canon City to-day, and hr announces his Int'-nti'iri of holding the fort uxitil he is reniovt-d according to legal fornT.

Toy left under protest last night, when awakened by friends of McEisur, who covered him with revolvers, and ho returned to his homo In this city to-day. llefore last night's developments at the prison the Governor had decided to revoke Toy s commission. Should the Governor .iclde to call the legislature la extra session to enact a law in behalf of silver it is not improbable he will have to face impeachment proceedings. IlcKiilned Possession. CANON CITV. Col.. Dec. 3 At an early hour this morning Warden Frank A. V.cLlster, who was removed from office last night by Governor Walte, regained possession of the State penitentiary and ousted B.

Fifteen Inches of Snow. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. VALPARAISO, Ind., Dec. 3. The worst snowstorm ever known here at this season of the year raged all to-day. The snow is fifteen inches deep and drifting badly. Railroad traffic is greatly impeded on all the roads. SHOPPING IX THE ORIEXT. A Fine Art "Which Can Only Re Acquired hy Prnctleo. F. Marion Crawford, In Scrlbner. There is nothing dull or commonplace about shopping or shop-keeping in the East. Every man's shop Is much more literally his stronghold than the Englishman's house Is his castle, and every customer's appearance is tho signal for a siege. The unconscionable lencth of time necessary to develop a bargain in Turkey accounts, perhnps, for the perpetual crowd in the bazaar. Whrvevr wishes to buy anything of which the price is not commonly known and fixed by custom, must return many times to the assault before he gots what he wants. The censvquence Is that where every customer come, four times Instead of once to the shop where he has business, there ar4 four time as many Pople in the tortuous passages und labyrinthine ways of the bazaar. as should legitimately correspond to the amount of business actually done. The process Is certainly cumbrous. When you first see the object for which you are looking, you must bn blind, not let your features betray by the least expression that you are interested. Next, you should ask the price of at least one hundred articles in the shop, being careful, however, not to omit the one you need, lest the omission should make the shop keeper suspect that you want it. You will then send for coffee and say that you have not come to buy anything, but have rr.erelv made inquiries out of curiosity. A few days later come, and again ask the prices of several things. On your third visit you may allow yourself to look more closely at what you have long since mentally selected, and tf offer the shop keeper not more than one-third of what h asks. On the fourth day prepare for a final pitched battle. If you do net look unrighteously rich and have not the arpearance of bing a "tenderfoot." you may consider that you have done fairly wrll if you pay in the end about two-thirds of what was demand!, especially If you have dealt with a Turk or Jew, avoiding anything like a Christian as you would shun th. plague. One of Riley's Slsns. Chicago Journal. Riley was at one time a sign painter, and in this connection a new story is told of he poet. The incident is related by Schuyler Colfax, of South Rend. Ind.. son of the illustrious Vice President of that name, and la one more evidence of the high esteem in which the ioet Is and has been bdd by the community where be was born and nurtured. Ulley was employed by a grocer of South Bend to paint a sign on Ids window. This merchant was George W. Mcasler, and he paid the artist a five-dollar bill for the lob. It must have been skillfully done, as

It remained in excellent shape for twelve years, until one night a fire broke out in the store and the painted window was smashed into fragments. During those twelve years Mr. Riley's fame had been growing in another direction, and there was not a native of Indiana who did not take pride to himself and bask In the renown of the "Hoosier Poet." Mr. Colfax held him in particular regard, and after the fire in the grocery store he spent no end of time and patience in gathering up the particles of glass on which the grocer's sign had been painted, and then, at the expense of long weeks of patient labor, succeeded In putting them together so as to restore the sign to something like Its original condition. The mosaic sign i3 preserved by Mr. Colfax in a frame at South Bend, and is cherished by Its owner with a tenderness not accorded to any other relic he possesses. MEXICAN RACES.

American Sport Inaugurated1 in the Monteznnia Capital. CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. 3. The inauguration of the Penon race track brought out the largest and most enthusiastic crowd ever assembled In Mexico. President Diaz and Mrs. Diaz, the Cabinet and diplomatic corps were present, together with the elite of Mexican society. In the poolsthe Mexicans learned readily the American system of betting, and laid heavy wagers, especially on Mexican horses. Col. L. Lewis Clark, cf Louisville, presided. The Mexican Derby was a pronounced success, and Inaugurated a new era in the tuxf annals of Mexico. The track was slow. Summaries: First Race One mile. Chinus won; Long Ten second. Robin Hood third.

Grand Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, arrived at 'the Bingham House this evening from Cleveland. He and Chairman Clark had a long interview, in which the latter outlined the work in hand and the plans for the future conduct of the Lehigh Valley strike. Chief Arthur, said: "The work of my representative, Mr. Youngson, has been in every way satisfactory to me in this fight, and I will In no wise interfere with his plans. He Is amply able to conduct the affaire of the engineers in the Lehigh Valley strike." "Will you seek an audience with President Wilbur?" "No. The men who had a right to such an audience have been refused. I will certainly not attempt to see him. I will be in the East for a short time, and if he desires to see me he will have to send word to that effect." Mr. Arthur refused at this time to further discuss the strike situation. Mr. Youngson has left Bethlehem, and will meet him here to-r.lght. The Lehigh Valley railroad to-day issued a notice in which it offered a reward for the arrest and conviction of the men who cut the freight train at White Haven yesterday morning. The issuance of such notice had the effect of making Chairman Clark very angry. He said that the company should be certain that the train had been so cut before its officials made such a grave charge. Mr.' Arthur and his assistants, Younson and Thurston, will leave here to-morrow morning at 8 o'clock for Wllkesbarre, from which point the strike will hereafter be conducted. Chairman Clark, of the ' Order of Railway Conductors, confirms the report that a conference between the Jersey Central and I-ehisrh Valley RTievance committees will be held at Bethlehem to-morrow at which time another effort will be made to have President Wilbur receive the strikers' committee, failing In which a strike may be ordered on the Jersey Central. WHITE HAVEN, Pa., Dec. 3. The situation here to-day following the wreck of yesterday is precisely the same as before the piist two weeks. The strikers claim., however, that they are gaining strength.' That they are not losing ground Is shown by their jubilant state of mind. Quiet prevails all around and this had caused the railroad officials to withdraw all but six of the twenty special policemen- sent here sometime ago. The residents of the place are Indignant at the statement made by General Manager Voorhees published in the morning papers, charging the strikers with being responsible for the wreck by pulling the coupling pir.s of the wrecked train. The statement Is denied in vigorous term by the strikers, who say that it would have been utterly Impossible to have boarded the train, as It was moving rapidly at the time the cars broke loose. Striker Aprnlnnt Working; Sundays. WILKESBARRE, Pa., Dec. 3. The Lehigh Valley strikers had a mammoth meeting at Music Hall this afternoon. The building seats about 1,500, but fully 2,000 people were crowded within Its doors. L. F. Coffin, ex-railroad commissioner Of Iowa, was elected temporary chairman and W. L. Wilkinson, grand chief of trainmen, permanent chairman. Mr. Coffin made an earnest pl?a for the observance of tho "Sabbath among railroadmen. He sail no railroads should insist on it3 employes working three hundred and sixty-rive days in a year and the day is coming when Godfearing people of this country will demand that railway employes will be given a rest on' the Sabbath day. A MYSTERY TO JAPANESE. They Do Xot Vnderstnnd Our Xovels Nor Our Social Syntem. Lafcadla Hearn. in Atlantic Monthly. There are few of our society novels that a Japanese student can really comprehend; and the reason Is. simply, that English society 13 something of which he is quite unable to form a correct idea. Indeed, not only English society, in a special sense, but even Western society, in a general sense, Is a mystery to him. Any social sys-" tern of which filial piety Is not the moral cement: any social system In which children leave their parents In order to establish families of their own; any social system In which it Is considered not only natural, but right, to love wife and child more than tho authors of one's being; any social system in which marriage can be decided Independently of the will cf parents, by the mutual Inclination of the young people themselves; any social sys-i tern In which the mother-in-law is not entitled to the obedient service of the daughter-in-law. appears to him of necessity a state of life scarcely better than that of the birds of the air and the beasts of the field, or at least a sort of moral chaos. And all this existence as reflected in our popular fiction, presents him with provoking enigmas. Our ideas about love and our solicitude about marriage furnish some of these enigmas. To the young Japanese, marriage appears a simple, natural duty, for the due performance cf which his parents will make all necessary arrangements at the proper time. That foreigners should have so much trouble about getting marrhd is puszling enough to him; but that distinguished ntithors should write novels and poems about such matters, and that those novels and poems should be vastly admired, puzzles him Infinitely more seems to him "very, very strange." My young questioner said "strange" for politeness sake. His real thought would lave been more accurately rendered by the word "indecent." But when I say that to the Japanese mind our typical novel appears indecent, highly indecent, the idea thereby suggested to my English readers will probably be misleading. The Japanese are not morbidly prudish. Our society novels do not strike them as indecent because the theme is love. The Japanese have a great deal of literature about love. No: our novels seem to them indecent for somewhat the same reason that the Scripture text. "For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife," appears to them one rf the most immoral sentences ever written. An Antipodean Ginnt. One of the human wonders of the South seas is a Victoria tNew South Wales) youth by the name of McLean. He l now seventeen years and a few months old, and weighs In the neighborhood of three hundred pounds. He is not a "human mountain of fat." a "monster of obesity," or anything of that sort, but is a well-proportioned young man of surpassing stature nnd great height. On his seventeenth birthday he measured eight feet and three and a quarter inches, and If he keeps up his regular yearly Increase of stature will far surpass In height all modern giants. At the age of twelve he was five feet four inches; at thirteen, six teet one inch; at fourteen, six feet nine Inched ; at fifteen, seven feet one Inch and a half; at sixteen, seven feet eight Inches, and at seventeen, eight feet threo inches ana a tjuartcr, as mentioned above.

WE AKERS0F THE GRAY

Concerning the Fate and Fortunes . of the Old Confederates. The Rebel Generals Arc Mostty Prosperous as Planters, Lawyers, Rusines3 Men and Politicians. W. IL R., in Washington Tost "What has become of the confederate generals?" is a question very often asked but not so easily answered. Only those who have undertaken such a task can appreciate its immensity and trouble, but If it serves its purpose I shall be content. To begin with, those of the highest rank of the five full generals of tha confederate army none survive. There were twenty-one lieutenant generals in the confederate army from first to last, and of these all were from the United States .army but four, namely, Richard Taylor, N. H. Forrest, Wade Ha.mpton and John R. Gordon. Of them the following are living: James Longstreet, Stephen Lee, Early, Buckner, Wheeler and A. P. Stewart, besides two of those not from the old United States army mentioned above. Gustavus W. Smith is the Tanking major general living, and makes his home in New York city. W. W. Martin lives at Natchez, and is a railroad president. L. L. Lomax makes his home in Virginia, but is in the war records bureau here in Washington. Frank C. Armstrong, the best United States Indian Inspector the government ever had, for he was born in the Choctaw nation, is now Assistant Commissioner of Indian Affairs. Hume lives in Memphis, Tenn. Churchill has been Governor of Arkansas and lives at Little Rock. Colquitt was Governor of Georgia and Is a United States Senator from that State. Dibrell for a long time was a member of Congress from Tennessee. Lyon, who commanded one of Forrest's divisions for awhile, resides at Eddyville, Ky. Mackall, who was brigadier general and chief of General Bragg's staff, who lived over in Fairfax county, Virginia, not far from Washington, for many years, died about eighteen months ago. McGowan is a member of the Supreme Court of South Carolina. W. R. Miles is a cotton-planting magnate on the Yazoo river In Mississippi. Roger A. Pryor is a prosperous lawyer in New York. John G. Walker, who was down in Central America as secretary of legation under Dabney Maury, died last summer. . THE TIPREE LEES. Holmes is in Mexico mining, and, I hear, making money. Of the three Lees who were generals, Curtis who was Mr. Davis's chief of staff is the president of the Washington and Lee College, in Virginia. William Henry Fitzhue Lee, generally called "Runny," who was a planter and member of Congress from the Eighth Virginia district, died three years ago. Fitzhugh Lee, a cousin of tine others, and a famous cavalry officer, owns the "Ravensworth" estate, on the Potomac, about fifty miles below Washington. He has been Governor of Virginia, and is very liable to be one of her United States Senators. Robert Lee, the general's youngest son, who served in the ranks of the Rockbridge Artillery a greater part of the war, lived until recently, on the James river, where he owns a handsome estate. He Is more like his great father in appearance and manner than any of the Lees. He is now a resident of Washington. I have heard though I do not know how true it is that it is in contemplation by the Lees to remove the dust of their grandfather ("Light Horse Harry Lee," as General "Washington always called him) from Cumberland island, Ga., and bury It by the side of Gen. Robert Lee. If I had to select the man who should represent mentally and physlclally the highest type of the Southern gentlemen, I should choose Curtis Lee. He is a man strikingly handsome and well bred, with charming manners, and 13 the only one of the Lees who is unmarried. Turning from the Lees to General Longstreet, the ranking lieutenant general of vhe Confederacy, the world will be sorry to know ho Is getting on badly. He lives at Gainesville, Ga., and his house there was burned recently with all that was In it. Longstreet had the confidence of Gen. Lf-e to a greater degree than any of his officers, for, barring Gettysburg, about which there is a wide diversity of opinion, Ingstrett never made a mistake. Gen. Karlv. another of T.po's eorns -eommnnders, lives at Lynchburg, is in the practice or law, and 13 well to do. Of Gordon I have spoken before. Everybody knows what General Hampton, who once commanded all the cavalry of the army of Northern Virginia, is doing, and that MaJ. Gen. M. C. Butler was once his colleague in the United Stales Senate from South Carolina. Of the officers in General Johnston's Army of the Tennessee, R. H. and Patton Anderson are dead. General Bate is United States Senator from Tennessee, and W. H., or "Red" Jackson, one of Forrest's division commanders, is living near Nashville on a magnificent plantation. General Wheeler, who commanded all of General Johnston's cavalry when he was only twenty-eight years old, is a planter in north Alabama was a member of the last and is a member of the present Congress. General Iawton, one of the quartermastergenerals of the Confederacy, is a leading member of the Savannah (Ga.) bar, and General Gorgas, the confederate chief of ordnance, died in Alabama a few years ago. His son Is a promising young surgeon in the United States army. General Cockrell, the ranking confederate general from Missouri, now living, is the senior United States Senator from that State. E. C. Walthall, of Missouri, senior major general from that State, who was seriously considered as tho commander of the Army of the Tennessee in 1S64 by Mr. Davis and his Cabinet. Is a United States Senator from Mississippi, and was, as long as he eared to be, the attorney for the Illinois Central Southern connecting lines, at a salary of $12,lXX) a year. Just after .the war he was a law partner of Judge Lamar at Oxford. SOME OF THE OTHERS. Three West Toint Governors and exConfederate generals rode at the head of the troops from their respective States in the New York centennial parade. They were Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia; Buckner, of Kentucky, and Nichols, of Louisiana. Nichols, who was terribly wounded, losing an arm and a leg, was elected Governor for the second time In 1SS7. Robert Lowry, who was a brigadier general in the Army of Northern Virginia, has twice been Governor of Mississippi. Sully Ross, who commanded a Texas brigade in Forrest's Corps, was Governor of th- great State of Texas three UTms. Stephen 1. Lee is at the head of the Mississippi Agricultural College, at Starkvi!!c. while Lieut. Gen. A. P. Stewart, once president of the University of .Mississippi, at Oxford, is now in Washington in the War Records Bureau. General Fagan lives in Arkansas, as does Govan. and Iouis Hebert (one of the best mathematicians that ever left West Point), who "v.s colonel of the Third Louisiana Infantry and a brigadier general in the Confederate army, lives up in his native Attakappas, in Louisiana. Rosser lives near Charlottesville, and is rich. B. II. Robertson, the courtly, gracious gentleman, resides In Washington. George Steuart is a resident of Baltimore, as also is Bradley Johnson. William H. Payne has a residence here In Washington and at Warrenton, Va., and is the attorney for the Virginia Midland. Thomas Logan, the youngest brigadier general the Confederacy ever male, being just twenty-one when commirsioned, is at the head of the great Richmond West Point Terminal system. He lives in New York. William P. Roberts, of North Carolina, a cavalry brigadier general under W. H., F. Lee, and next to Logan in youth, lives in North Carolina, and has been State Auditor for a long time. Mabone is at Poterrburg. Hunton lives at Warrenton, Va., and Is a United States Senator. John C Erowr., the ablest general officer from Tennessee, who was the first DemocraticGovernor of that State -after the defeat of the reconstruction policy there, was for a long time the solicitor-general for the combined Gould system of railroads. He died four years ago. George D. Johnston Is a member of the Civjl-servie (Commission hero. General Ferguson lives at Greenville, Miss., and i3 a member of the Mississippi River Commission and a prosperous planter. Holtzclaw. who lives in Alabama, at Selma, I believe, died a month or two ago. General Buckner, who is werth a million, nas just been Governor of Kentucky. Lleuatenant General Kirby Smith lived for many yars in Sewar.ee, Tenn., where he was president of the University of the South. He died last fall. McImXws is a Resident of Augusta, Ga.

There are many named in this list who were not in the regular army before the war, but tho information I was endeavoring to furnish would not be complete without mention of them. THE CRUISE OF THE BUGABOO. Ail Old Salt's Talo Aneiit the Fitting: Out of Peixoto's Fleet. New York Sun. During the bustle and confusion of getting Peixoto's Improvised fleet ready for sea at the Morgan iron works yesterday, a very old salt sat upon the stringplece of the dock squirting tobacco juice into the water belrw and smiling sardonically at the warlike preparations. "In nigh on fifty year o buildlri. fittin and sailin' ships," he said, "I never see nuthin' like this 'cept Pat Canty's cruise i' the Bugaboo. "Never hear of the Bugaboo?" the old man went on, shifting his quid as1 sallormen do when about to spin a yarn. "Well, that is sing'lar. Thought there wasn't no one hereabouts as hadn't heard of Pat Canty and the cruise of the Bugaboo. "It was in '77," he explained, "the year o the big fire In St. John. I was there in a square rigger for a load of deals for Astralia, I'd been In the lumber trade between St. John and Liverpool off and on for years, and got to know most that made their llvln about the wharves, among 'em Pat Canty, the scowman. Pat had been in Canada about forty years. He had a dirty old scow, and him and his half-witted son Mickey did pretty well scowin deals and buying Junk. The old man didn't know none too much at that, and he'd never been out o' St. John harbor from the time he come there in an immigrant ship. He was mighty fond o money, though, and was well known to the sallormen as come, to the bluenose port, by his sharp way o' drivln bargains for ole rope and odds and ends. "Well, when the fire come an' burned the whole town there was a big boom In the ccistin trade. Them bluenoses started right in to build up tho town, and. there wasn't schooners enough to carry the bricks, lumber, sand and mortar as was needed to do it. Freights Jumped right up, ami all the old condemned hulks that was a-rottin' at the worm-eaten wharves along the Hay o Fundy was shoved into water, manned with any men that would go, and pressed into the brick carryin' biz. Ye never see sich a fleet in yer life, cept this here Brazilian lot o cripples, and that's what made me think o' Pat Canty and the Bugaboo. Pat he near went crazy when, he heard about the big freights, an I reckon he didn't sleep nights thinkin' how he could get out o the scow business and have a share o the brick carryin. Well, the up shot was that Pat he set a lot o hatchet-an'-saw carpenters to work fittin out the Bugaboo that was the name of his old scow. They decked her over, cut hatches in her, put a rail round her. and set up a couple o crooked bay spruce sticks, rigged with old fcre-an'-aft sails out off en his junk shop. On her counter mark that, the counter of a scow he painted in her name in bfg white letters, and her hallin' port, Then, dumme if he. didn't get a charter. Some one had bricks in New York they wanted took to St. John, and Pat got the job. He an' his simple son Mickey was the Butraboo's crew. "This was in July, the weather was irood, an' by nosin along the coast, never losin sight o' land all the way, the Bugaboo come into port the hind end o' August. - "Pat he took on his cargo all right enough, but when he was ready to sail ag'in he thought he'd have to make better time it he was goin to make anything out o' carryin' brick that summer. So he leaves Mickey to keep ship, an away he goes along the docks a-searchin' for a craft bound for St. John. Pretty soon he comes on a British bark as the people along the docks they says was for St. John for orders the next day. Pat goes back and warps the Bugaboo up alongside her. When the bark cast off her hawsers In the mornin' Pat ana the Bugaboo was close astern. Now, a scow fore an aft rigged, ain't none too slow afore the wind in fair weather; in the wind she'd go ahead crab fashion; in a blow well, I guess they ain't no saflorman as ever tried one. Down the bay and out to sea Pat, Mickey and the Bugaboo dogged the bark, an' they was astern when night fell. The cherub up aloft that looks after sallormen must a kep' a sharp eye on Paddy, for when day broke them on the bark spys the Bugaboo close astern. "Naf rally they thought It a kind o queer to see that sort of a land turtle headln' out to sea, but Yankee coasters know their biz, and takn' her for some Yanke? lighterman, they paid little -attention that day to the Bugaboo. She kep' on with a good wind astern all day, an there she was Jus' under the bark's counter when the sun come up en the second an' third mornings out. Then the bark's skipper begin to think something was wrong. His men afore the mast didn't like that old raft with the dirty sails a-doggln of the ship in that sneaking fashion, an' as they could see no one on her decks, they thought she looked dummed like a dead man's craft. "To make a long story short the skipper he hove the bark to. and waited for the Bupraboo to come abeam of her. When she t-cn:"? a-poundin' alongside, the captain hailed her. ' " 'Ship ahoy! What craft's thafT said he. " 'The Bugaboo," was Canty's reply. " 'Where ye bound?' ses the Captain. "'To St. John, with brick.' says Canty. "Then there was a wait, an" Canty comin" onto the fo'castle o' the Bugaboo, shouta: " 'Ahoy! What ship's yours? " 'The Skylark o Dundee.' came back, and then Canty, not to be behindhand in cayin' the right thing hallin' a ship at sea, yells: " "Whe're ye bound T " 'Fer Marseilles an' Mediterranean ports,' says the bark's captain. "Then there was a rumpus on the Bugaboo somethin like I guess there'll be on these hre ships when they runs 'foul o Mello. Down come the scow's sails on the mn. an' Canty he danced up an down the deck a-wringin his hands, while Mickey he sits on the poop a-howlin' like a fog horn. The bark's folks see there was somethin' up, an' sends away a boat to investigate. When they foun the mistake Canty'd made thy took'him an' Mickey off, but they had a devil of a time tryin to make him abandon the Bugaboo, an the big freight a-eom-in" to him in St. John. Pat and Mickey was taken to Marseilles on the bark, and sent back to St. John by the British consul. They got there afore Christmas." IIov Millionaires Are Made. Real Estate Recbrd.

Taking the most valuable corner lot in the business part of the city as a criterion, the value has increased llAlM.GUO per cent. In ISSo. when there were fifty people scattered around Fort Dearborn, a. quarter of an acre of land In what is known as the "heart of Chicago" could have been purchased for $20.
