When Myrtle avenue was laid out and opened the old man purchased from the city land at the corner of Navy street and Myrtle avenue which had been cendemned and taken, in the laying out of the new thoroughfare. In 1840 it passed nto the possession of Theo- - ici dorus Bergen, who, with De Gross, Electrician long since died. The latter left three children, of whom two are still living —John and Sarah, The property was transferred to one Francis Chatalle by Bergeu the same year in which it came into his possession. In 1850 Arthur Wellwood eecured it, and until within the past week it has been re- tained by him, It is now occupied by six tenants. The De Groes children endeavored to gain possession of the property through the courts in 1878, claiming that they were the owners by right of descent. Defendant con- tested the claim, but plaintiffs secured a verdict in their favor. The case was taken to the general term, when the decislon was reversed and a new trial granted. This resulted in a verdict tor defendant, Plaintiffs appealed, when the verdict was set aside, On the next trial had before Judge Neil- son in September, 1880, plaintifis ob- tained a verdict. Appeal was again taken to the general term, when the last verdict was afiirmed. Again re- sort was had to the court of appeals, which final tribunal, October 10, affirmed the judgment of the court below The plaintiffs have now se- cured possession of the preperty, and “‘Snowball” is the pride and envy of his colored contemporaries at local cake walks, picnics and other festive entertalnments, A Newspaver Editor, 0.

A large force of men are at work on the grade between Boise and Baker City. The O. N. & R. company have 1,000 men grading on Burnt river, and have possession of all the narrow passes, intending to dispute the right or posaibility of the Oregon Short line through the canyon. The contractors have built a store, boarding house and hay barn at Weatherby's Station, and intend to work all winter, The Union Pacific issued a circular on November 1, saying that the Ore- gon Short Line was now open for bus- iness from Granger to American Falls, and ordering that all freight for Mon- tana and Idaho, received by the Utah and Northern, be shipped, over that route. Al freight going north of the crossing of the road at McCammon’s Juaction will be transferred there from the broad gauge to the narrow gauge road, and l{l freight for Wood River will go either to American Falls or Blackfoot. Rates are to remain the same as if going via Ogden. ‘Why the Minister Ceased o Wonder Deaver Teibune, Apropos of the Ezyptian trouble, we wish to relate a little story, the circumstances of which occurred dur- ing our trip to the Holy Land several years ago. He wasa devout Christian and made the study of the Bible and a proper understanding of the Big Book the highest atm of life, When he arrived at the Ses of Gal- fleo his heart was filled with awe, and he felt elevated and cleansed by the thought that he waa gazing on the very same spot where his Savior once atood. Approaching the boatman, he ad- dressed him in his choicest Arabic, and, with bible and commentary in hand, awaited an answer, “Ah! what smatter 'th yer? Wh{, don't yer talk the United States?” asked the man contemptuously. He was a real live Yankee, who was pick- ing up a living by ferrying tourists across the sea. ¢ 8o this is the sea of Galilee,” de- voutly murmured the searcher after knowledge. ‘“Ya-a-s," ‘‘And this is whore our Savior walked upon the waters?”’ “Ya-a-u," 2 ‘‘How much will you charge to take me to the exact spot?” ““Wall, you look like a gentleman, and I won't charge you nothin’,” The devout one bosrded the boat, and av last was pointed out were the miracle is said to have occurred. After gazing at the waters and divid- iny his time between glances at his books and devout ejaculations of satis- faction, the searchor signified his will- ingness to return. ‘‘Oharge you §20 to take you back," s2id the speculative Yankee. ‘‘But you said you would charge nothing,” “Naw, didn’t,. Nothin' to bring you out; twenty to gev back.” ‘‘And do you charge everybody $20 to take them back?’ asked the aston- ished searcher. ‘“‘Ya a8, ‘s about the figger.” ‘“Well, then,'" said the devout one, a8 he went down in his clothes, ‘‘no wonder our Savior got out ‘nnd walked,” A VOYAGE INTHE STEERAGK. How Poor People Oroes the Atlantic. Prentice M ulford, in the San Fran- cisco Ohronicle, gives a long account of & voyage in the steerage. He says: Eich steerager is required to fu nish himeelf with a bed, blanket, plate, kuife, fork, spoon, and a &in can for holding water, served out daily. The total cost of these articles in London {s not more than three or four dollare, Then, if he has the wis- dom of an old etcorager, he will pro- vide hiwself with a ‘*hook pot,” to contain the tea wad coffee served at mweals, The hook attaches 1t to the rim of the table and prevents it from =} being rolled off, 1f he is wiser still, he will take with him tea, coffee, choc- ®, osuncd masts or fish, aud a f or condimenta for helping out the ship's bill of fare, Many of 1 fellow-pagsengers had so provide themselves, and we enjoyed mauy so- ciable private “‘teas” on the trip, daily bill of fare, as near as I can reo olloct, was as follows: DBreakfast at 7 —coffee, hot rolls and butter. The so-called ““rolls” were in reality small loaves, of which each passenger was entitied to one at & meal, At 10:3 or 11, soup or gruel for the children, of which the older passengers, through & contrivance of good will, often got & share, Dinner ai 12 w, — Boup, roast beef and potatoes, or cod- fish and poiatoes, rice or bread pud- dingr ']Pca at 6.—Cold bread and S batter snd what was oslled tea. Often in the afternocon at 4 a plate of soup or gruel was asmong the things possible. There was certainly enough to eat—ot the kind. I venturc to say that one- half of our s'eorsgira were ne er on shoro fed with so much regularity, or even variety, The beef tasted as though the life had been taken out of it by some process, It wascut up be- fore belng brought to the table. It was brought in a huge tin can. The can was taken to the table by one of the assistant atewards, and cut of it he deposited the prices on our plates with a long fork, The potatoes camsu next in another huge pan. Another steward laid the requisite number by our plates, Ouar soup plates were filled in a similar fashion. The table servico, as may be imagined, was entirely practical in its nature, There was no formality. The meal finished, each guest was required to wash his or her own tableware. For this purpose the cook after each meal placed a large vessol of hot water near the galley, on deck. To this the passenger repaired with his own soap and towel, plunged therein his_tin plate, cup, knife, fork, and and spoon, washed, wiped and retired. There was no change of hot water for the company. Of course, at the latter end of this lavatory process it became more and more greasy, and as it cooled this grease took on a more and more solid oconsistency, The guest is rcquired to clean also that part of the table allotted to him, to pather up all the scraps, especially tne potato peelings. These were gon- erally fired into the ‘‘chute,” from whence the cinders and conl ashes were emptied into the sea. When this chute was ou the leeward side of the vessel all went well, and the dobris slid readily into the ocean. When the chute was to windward things did not go overboard so readily, Thon a larger amount of the smaller ecrap- page found its way to the general wash-pan, The trip from the steer- age table with this table furniture was on an oven keel a matter of one hundred apd odd feet, involviug aleo the climbing of the steerage stairs to the main deck. By the main deck, I would inform the ultra lands- man; is not meant the upper deck, which commands the view of the wea It is the enclosed deck on whioh are located all the offices of the little floating world, such as the engine room, cook room, steward’s room, butcher shop, pastry cook, ete. Ours was on deck below this, Having had some sea training, all this dish wash- ing and other discipline was for me no great hardship. I had done it all before in the forccastle. But some of the poor fellows went erratically for many days in this unaccustomed ser- vice. There was often a clangor of pots and plates and Emipihfiunl of human forms in all shapes on deck, and a spilling of slops in all directions during heavy weather. The principal abuse of the modern steerage lies in the contracted space occupied by the berths. There is no necessity for so crowding twelve peo- ple ina space not large enough for four. The steamors take, asa rule, full cargoes from America, but they are not so loaded coming back. Nor is there any real nece:sity that the steerage passenger be obliged to fur- nish his table.service. Cleanliness would be far better regulated were the tables set with the ship's plates, knives, forks, and cups, and these removed, washed, and stored by the ship's attendants, As it is, four-fifths of the people are entirely inadequate to the proper cleansing of their own table Ware, ever fair weather, and the result is the storage in their bunks of greasy plates, which are continually gotting loose and clattering about under foot in rough weather, As for the fare, I would in the mines of California have been very glad to live as well as I did in the steerage. I have seen worse fare on some vessels when a satlor, and even worse in some cheap bosrding houses on shore, We had a very calm passage until within four days of Noew York, The steamer was light, and such rolling for three days I never deemed anything afl at capable of. The oscillations were as regular and almost as rapid as those of & common pendulum, It was one steady wsee saw night and day—the deck for ever so few seconds like a Mausard roof up, and without the pause of & second it was the Mansard roof down sgain, Irolled like a log to aud fro in my bunk, snd no amount of self-chocking would se- me, At last I hit upon a fash of screwing hesd into one corner of the barth, and somehow--1 don’t know how--Icould make that end of my bydy stay there, but all below the waist, especially the leg | throshed about apeir of I | volunta body 1 that my wholé JACOB SIMS COUNCIL LLUF 1I0WA, Ofico—~Broadway, bebween strecte.
