A" great many invited guests, including ¢ | mavy distinguished persons and families of al officers, wero carried by the naval steam launches to the flag-ship *Tennesseo,” on the quarter dock of which ithe chief cere- monies were held. At 2 o'clock the “Alli- ance rounded thefoot of the point and came to anchor somo distance astorn the *“Tenves- sea.” Tho “Thetis” followed fifteen minutes later and anchored abreast the “Alliance.” Ay the ‘“Thetis’'” ancuors went overboard the yards of all the ships in the harbor were manned, flags run to the mastheads, and threo rousing cheers given. 1t was an affect ing scene, and many sturdy and ‘bronzed sons of tars were seen to brush tears away, with their sloeves. Ten minutes aftor the *“Thetis" had anchored the “Bear” rounded the point and soon came to anchor in the wake of the * Thetis.” Again the yards were manned and the gallant seaman gave thres rousing cheers, which were repeated when the ‘‘Alert” steawed slowly around and dropped anchor abreast of the “Boar.” To avoid publicity as miuch s possible Secretary Chandler arravged to receive ths commanders of the reliof ahips in the aft cabin. Acting Admiral Tuce es- corted them to the presence of the secretary of the navy. As Commander Schley stepped into the cabin ho was greotad by the secretary who clasped his hand with farvor, and passing one arm over his shoulder, said ina voice cmothered with emotion, *“T am glad to wel coma yon home.” Commander Coffin of tho ““Alert,” was next ivtroduced and in answer to the query of .

Itis ac- tive and swift, and irritable to such a de- pree that one can scarcely help thinking that in this species nature has overshot her mark, When a person passes near —sny within three or four yards of its lurking-place—it starts up and gives chase, and will often tollow for a distance of 30 ord0 yards. I came once very nearly being bitten by one of ihese savage oreatures. Riding at an easy trot over the dry grass, I suddenly observed a spider persuing me, leaping swiftly alon, and keeping up with my beast. 1 aime a blow with my whip, and the point of the lash struck the grcuna close to it, when it instantly leaped upon and ran up the lash, and was actually within three or four inches of my hand when I flang the whip from me. The gaushos have very quaint ballad which tells that the city ot Cordova was ohoa invaded by an army of monstrous spiders, and that the townpeople went out, with beating drums and flags flying, to repel the invasion, and that after firing, several volleys they wero forced to turn and fly for their Jives, I have no doubt that a sudden great increass of the man chasing spiders, in & year exceptionably favorable to thew, suggested this fable to some rhym- ing satirist of the town, —— EMINENT MED1CAL TESTIMONY, 19 EAsT 320 STREET, New Youk, March 16th, 1883, T have used Avrrcock's Porous Pras. rEks in wy practice with remarkable suc cess, and found them peculiarly efficient when applied to the back tor Weak Spine and Nervous Exhaustion; they atford al- most instant relief in Coughs, Colds and Liver Complaint. 1 cordially recommend them as the best and safest plaster ever made, and would caution the public against the numerous other so-called Po- rous Plasters that are sought to be palmed off on a credulous public; they are worth- less and oftentimes dangerous.

It has now been decided that Broad- way is to have a surface railroad, either by horse or cable traction, before another year. A committeo was appointed last week to hear the final objections to the scheme, As the Astors, Lorillards, Goelets and several other owners of large blocks of Broadway property have at last given their consent to the rail- road there is no doubt about its rap'd completion, and a company of rich men has been formed to do the work. The elevated roads have worked the chauge in the feeolings of the Brosdway mag- nates. Until within the last few yenis the Astora have fought all auch schemes, and succeeded. Years ago Broadway was the main thoroughfate for the mer- chant, to go down town in the morn- ing, and up town in the afternoon. Some went by stage and.some on foot. For several hours a day it was crowded by the men whose custom was valuable to fashionable tailors, jew- elers, booksellers, upholsterers, etec. But ywhen the elevated roads came, Broadway fell between two etools, 80 to speak. 'he solid business men who had been the patrons of the shops between Tenth street and the city hall, wanting to save timo, took the elevated road up- town near their homes and were whisked down to their business. They were seen no more on Broadway. The effect was visible at once. Tailors and jewel- ors moved either far up-town and far down, following their customers, anc Broadway shops along the two miles be- tween Tenth street and the city hall fell off decidedly in rentals. People even censed to ride in Broadway stages—they were 80 slow compared to tho elevated roads. So at last the property owners who opposed all change of any kind whatsoever because their property was a perfect gold mine, now welcome a rail- road in the hope that some of the retail trade may be recovered. There are 850 soparate pieces of prop- erty on Broadway from Union equare down to the battery. The whole is valued at about £85,000,000 and is owned by one thousand persons. An examin- tion of the list hus shown that not more than one-third of the number live in New York. A great many valuable buildings are owned and managed by trustees tor the benefit of heirs; other people who ro- ceive millions every year for their Broad- way properties have not been in this country for years. The Boreel building, for instance, on Broadway near Trinity charch, returns an income of half a mil- lion and is owned by Mme. Boreel, a grand daughter of John Jacob Astor, who has not been in America for twenty years living entirely in Paris and bring- ing up herchildren as Parisians. The Astors and Goelets of the present genera- tion are thoroughly identified with New York, and once or twice a week I meet the portly John Jacob, the grandson of the original, and the father of our present minister to Rome, walking down Broadway surveying complacently the big buildings which help to swell his in- come to about four millions a year. The day that Seney's bank, the Metropolitan, closed its doors, I saw John Jacob among the crowd of curious people who stood on the sidewalk and watched the porter put- ung up the iron shutters. The big, port- ly, red-faged man who would .be taken anywhate for a typical Englishman, could afford to look on at others’ financial troubles without anxiety. Some of the most valuable property along Broadway is owned by minors, all that belonging to the Clark estate, being held in trust for a boy now five years old, and the Garner property for three young girls whose pa- rents were drowned in the yacht Mon- tauk some years ago. SOME LUCKY PEOPLE, Several hundred persons derive their sole income from blocks of Brosdway property and live a life of luxurious idle- ness upon it. Sixty-five years ago a thrifty French confectioner named Con- toit bought half an acre on Broadway near what is now the Metropolitan hotel and established an ice-cream garden. He paid $12,000 for the property, then surrounded by fields and detached houses, An old gentleman, who recently died at the age ot 83, frequently told me that when he was a young men it was a favor. ite drive up to Contoit's garden. On summer evenings the young bucks of the city would drive up there with their belles and hava ice cream in Contoit's arbors. The old Frenchman prorpered, and when he died, in 1842, his half acre was already considered too valuable for a summer garden, Stores were ,huilt on it by his son, and ten years ago these old stores were torn down by his grandson the present owner, and big iron build- inges erected, The property is now worth not less thau two millions, Mr. and Mrs Contoit are prominent opera-goers, the beauty of Mrs. Contoit’s Paris dresses and the bri cy of the dia- monds making her an object of envy and wark, They huve their yacht, their horses, and their apartments in Paris and New York, all because old Francois Con- wit, the pustry cook's apprentice of 1800, invested his earnings in half an acre on Broadway. The Contoit family is only one ot a score of Broadway owners who are enabled to live like a lord is supposed to live upon the income from a fow feet frontage on that valuable thoroughfare. All these people having found their in- come decreasing have looked about for the cause and the want of a street rail- ‘way has become apparent. A BROADWAY PUZZLE, There is one man to whom a Broad- buildings dangerous to p £15,000 making the repairs, but goes on refusing 850,000 a yoar all the same. Why he is 8o persistent nobody knows, and possibly no one will ever know. The | old geatleman is now neatly 80 years old. Once a woek he goes to Coney island. A friend of mine who once met him com- ing back from the island got the follow. & lecture from him “If you want to have a good time and not waste money, you go down to the island by boat and take a walk. On your way back stop at (naming the place) and get a cup of coffee. Stop there, be- cause tho price is only seven conts; elso- where it is ten, Don’t buy an excursion ticket on the boat, but come back on the cars, In that way you will save three cents.” As to the much-talked of underground road, we hear less about it, and the only piece of tunnel over built, that dug along Broadway opposite the city hall, in 1870, is now used as a shooting gallery.

An old logroller used in a wash- 1og machine in the dye house had been condemned because it was worn from age. The iron rod running through the centre of the log, by means of which the roller revolved upon itsbearings, was surround- ed by sulphur, to prevent the wood from rot'ing quickly by the ready con- tact with water which the iron rod alone would allow, and also vo make the parts of the roiler hold firmly together.
