Two yonug ladies on West Adame atreet re- cently formed s Co-operative Mutual Benefit Friendly Aesocistion. One being s shm and Vivacious brunette. and the other & sta'ely and reserved blonde, their styles contsasted adinir- ably, and they set each other off to perfaction. They bad been room-mates at school, and atter thev gradua ed were inseparatle as the Siamese iwias. Their plan of operations was very eim- ple. Euch oue was to give the other ber foll ocoufidence, and 1n return was to receive her cordial co-operation aud asaist- aoee in advancing her malnmonial aims. Thus if the brupetts said that she was dying to kaow that love of a fellow with the big mns- tache, 1t was the duty of the blonde, who kuew him, to introduce ker, while if the blunde's young man had been warned by bor stern father not to trespass on toe family presetve, the bro- peite should asi him tocall on her, sod then scnd the bioade 8 now asking her dearest Alte to come over and consult her aboat that new dress. Then each was to siog ceasslesslt in the ears of the other's admirers ber friend’s charms of body and mind, her amiability, cleverness, afectionato dispomition, etc. All went ou vers well for a whi'e, but sbout two weeks ago the bionde said to the brunette: * Neile, daring, thers's a voung fellow I'm dving 0 koow, He's awtally bandsome, and tremen- dosly rich. and he dauces like an angel, and his mustache 13 just like those on the wax figures in the barbers’ =hods, and all the girls ara just reyv- ing about hm, a1d be vi.ts at your suot’s, and 1 want you to manage aud iutroduce me. The brunetts brounsed to edect tho desired introducuion, but was strangely siow in pecform- ing her promise.

And thos she wenton feediog tno sick heart of the blonde with saccounts or Bo e deferred. The blonde took cold a few davs 30, and was coufined to ber room. The bra- vette visitcd ber assidnoasly, untl - couple of davs ago, when, for a wonder, she did not pat 1 an appesrance. Last night & fnena of ths blonde calied on ber. aod, after kisses had beea exchauged, smd : *“ Allie, I suppose yom kuow all about Nellis, don't you?” = * Why, po.

HOW THE PROPERTY WAS RECOVERED. Abont eight weeks ago a gang of burglars en- tered and robbed the house of Mr. J. R. Hoxie, on the corner of Michigan avenue aod Forts- fifth street, of varions articles of household use, of & quantitv of siverwars, a watch-chain, pocket-boolk, and a goodly sum of bonds, repre- senting stock in the Lake Shure & Michigan Southern Ruilway, & detailed accoun: of which was poblished in Tar Tamose. It will bo rememoered how Mr. and Mrs. Horxie were qieted by the threatenings of re- volvers in the hands of the desperadoes white the room was ransacked in their preseucs, and how the escape was made after several shots had been exchonged bstween the ueighborhood policeman and the thioves. By diligent ecurch and efficient managemont of the police antborities, two men have been sriestod, snd are now i dursnce vile' waiting for trial, bewg charged with the robbery. M. Hoxie was seut for to identify the wen; but, although she is poditvely sure that the right men are captured, was anwiiling to swear tb the fact. Supt: Hick-y still holds the prisoners, and. bv & chzin of circumstautial evidence and proots of guilt of oher crimes, hopes to 1asten the robbery of dlr. Hoxis's ho:es npon them. One poiut of evidence 18 toe tact that, upon the pulling of n house suspected of bein: & receptae for stulen goods and beadqua.ters for these thieves, of whom it is_believea thee is & larze gang, aud upon & close exami- nation of the premises, Mr. Hoxie's nocket- memorun lum containiog railway passes, etr., was found under the ca:pet. No trace of the silverware aud other household goods bas yet been obtained,—at lesst none which it 18 wished to bave made known,—but the rairoad stock was recovered in & somewhat remarkable man- mer.
