ALL KINDS JOB PRINTING -NEATLY EXECUTED At This Offioe. AARON BURR'S FARMHOUSE. The BuIldtun, Which Is Over a Centry Old, sut standing. On the corner of Hudson and Charl ton streets is a frame building which, to a critical eye, would seem to be tumbling down, or rather would ap parently be if it were not held up by the adjoining building. The window frames, which once were square, are quite out of plumb, dropping downward on the south side. The ceilings are low on every floor, and on the Hudson street front the first floor, which is a little above the sidewalk' and reached by a few steps, has been transformed into a couple of small stores, while the en trance to the upper floors is gained through a door on Charlton street. An eqtension has been erected on this side to the main building so as to cover the lot. The building was formerly the farm house of Aaron Burr and was located on the top of Richmond bill, through which Variok street was out. When these streets were laid out, the old farmhouse was brought down to the road, which is now Hudson street, and placed on a vacant lot, then and now at the corner of Charlton street. Opposite to it was placed another frame house, which had been removed after the great Ares of 1885 and 1845, from Chambers street, where it was known as the "Old Brown Jug." This removal had been eaused by the extension of the Bra lim its in the lower portion et the eity. A few years ago the "Old Brown Jug" building was condemned and torn down. In its plase a brick structure has been erected. But so far the old Burr house has been spared, for, although it is out of plumb, the building was so strongly constructed that there is little danger of its falling. For many years the old house was oc oupied by an bid time "leather head watchman," who, after his retirement from that service, employed his time in making leather traveling trunks, whiob he sold on this corner, occupying the upper floors with his family. At his death, a few years ago, the family, like many of those who formerly resided in Greenwich village, removed to the up per part of the city, and the building has since ceased to be inhabited by one family.-Now York Mail and Express. GOOD COPS AS EASY MARKS. A Retired Bmnko Man's Idea of the Value of Regularity to the Crook. An old time crook stood on a Broad way corner, in the Tenderloin district, late one night recently, watching a young policeman trying the store doors. The policeman did the work with great care and regularity. "That's a careful copper," the crook volunteered, addressing wean who was standing a few feet away. "Yes," replied the other. "Evidently he wants to gain the good opinion of his superiors." The old time crook laughed. "It would surprise you," he contin ned, "wouldn't it, to hear that that sort of a careful cop is a dead easy mark for thieves?" "I don't see how," returned the olti sen. "Easy enough," retorted the crook. "It's your careful copper that can be easily spotted. The man who is going to do a job knows just where he will be on his post at a certain time and can figure out just how long the coast will be clear and the job can be carried on. The careful cop goes at his work just Like clockwork. Now, with what some persons would call a bad cop it's differ eut. The crooks are afraid of these bad cops, the fly fellows that take big chances and stay oftt post when the roundsman isn't around. They can never tell just where a bad cop is or when be will jump out and catch them at their job. See? There is no known system of keeping track of 'em, because they don't do business fhemaselves by any system, those bad cope don't." Then the old time crook walked into a saloon and got a drink, leaving the Mitizen on the corner wondering. The citisen learned the identity of the crook when he narrated the incident later to the proprietor of the same saloon. The fellow was a retired bunko man.-N-ew York Sun. Emlgratron From Swedea. Swedish emigration i slewly inoreca ig. The total number of emigrants for the three-quarters of the year is 11,018. In 1895 the emigration was 10,781, and in 1894, 7,047, against 80,000 during the years 1892, and 1898 reepectively. In connection with the Swedislf emigration to the United States the report of the Swedish postmaster general, jast pub fIshed, is interesting. For theyear 1895 $1,811,920 was reooeived in money orders from the United States, while ~$17,810 was sent from Sweden, learing a bal ance in faver of Sweden of $1,084.010. Probably an equal amount was seat to Sweden through the banks and emigrant agenoies. Just Jibe a Sister. She blushed prettily as she told the ister of her best young man that she thought she would buy a birthday pre eat for hirm. "You know him Letter than I do," she said, "so I came to you for advice." "Yes," said the sister inquiringly. "Oh, yes, indeOdl What weuld you advise me to get?" "Oh, I don't know I" replied the sis ter earelessly. "I could only advise you in general terms. From what I know of him, however, he will appteoiate some thing that e'n be easily pawned better than something that cannot."'--Pear son's Weekly. By the law of Scotland the bnshes or shrubs plantd in the garden belong to the landlord', and the tenant cannot cs move them at the end of his tenancy. The English law is the same on this point.

"Before I came to this past of the country I was an engineer on a railroad down south, " said a railway man. " We used to make a long run, and we were pretty slow about it. Whileon that line I had some very odd experiences. I re member one day, when we reached the junction station, a woman came up to me and asked me to hold the train for S-vo minutes. She said that her daugh ter wanted to take the train to the city. I told her that it was impossible for me to hold the train for her." "'I don't see why,' she expostulated. 'I think you might do a little thing like that.' "I tried to explain to her that trains ' ran on schedule time, and, like time and tide, wait for no man, or woman either, for that matter. But she wouldn't have a it, and finally, Just an we were about to start, she shouted indignantly: "'Well, I'll just see about that.' "I laughed, but soon I ceased to laugh, for what did that old woman do but get right on the track about three feet in front of the engine. She sat her self there, firmly grasping hold of the rails with both hands. The conductor signaled for me to go ahead, as our stop was over. But I couldn't do it as long as she remained on the track, for I would kill her certainly. I called to the conductor, and he, impatient at the de lay, came up. I explained the situation to him. He was as mad as I was and going up to the woman told her to get off the track. " 'I just won't,' she replied, 'until my daughter gets on board your train.' "He pleaded with her some more at1 3 finally declared that he would be com pelled to use force. " 'Just you darel' she cried. 'I'll sue you for damages if yen do.' "This opened a new eomplieation, and we reasoned with ourselves whether we had better remove her by force. Juit as we had determined upon a coumre t policy her daughter cameap and seeing the old woman on the track kihiea her I goodby and got on the train, while her mother called to her: "'Go ahead, Mary Ann. Tea'have plenty of time, though, for I will sit on the track until you get on board.' "And then, when Mary Ann was safe ly on board and we were about ready to ran over the old woman, if necessary, she calmly and slowly got up and waved me a goodby, calling as we pulled out of the station: " 'I hope I've teached you fellers a grain of perliteness.' "-OhicagoTimes Herald. HISTORIC 8LAVE AUCTION. The eate of Plaky s4id to wave Iaspsea the lamaelpstoa PreelametlSa. In The Ladles' Home Journal Mrs. Ileary Ward Beecher writes of "When Mr. Beecher Sold Slaves In Plymouth Pulpit." Recalling the historio sale of Pinky, Mrs. Beecher gives these details: "An old colored woman had written to Mr. G. Faulkner Blake, the brother of one of our church members, that her lit tie grandchild, named Pinky, was too fair and beautiful for her own good, and was about to be sold 'down south,' and Mr. Blake asked if she could be freed. 'Net unless you bring her north,' replied Mr. Beecher. 'I will be responsible for her, and she shall be lawfully purchas I ed or sent back.' The answer was a compliment, to which Mr. Beecher t laughingly referred as the only tribute ever paid to him by a slave owner. 'If Henry Ward Beecher has given his word,' wrote the dealer, 'it is better than a bond.' "So Pinky was brought to Plymouth church and placed upon the pulpit, as r Sarah, another slave, previously had been. The scene was again one of in tense enthusiasm. Rain never fell fast* er than the tears of the congregation. The pretty child, the daughter of a white father, was bought and over Sbought. Rose Terry-afterward Mrs. Rose Terry Cooke, the famous authoress -threw a valuable ring into the basket, and Mr. Beeoher picked it out and pat it upon Pinky's finger, saying, 'Remem bar-with this ring I do wed thee to freedom.' * * * PresidentLiAncol took a lively interest in the case of Pinky, the details of which were related to him by Chief Justice Chase and by Mr. SDeecher. Iwas not in Washington with r my husband at the time, and therefore cannot verify the story that the sale of SPinky inspired Presideint Lincoln to is Ssue the almost divine proclamation of 2emancipation." Two Tortabre Stories. The sturdiness of the north and its rather grim self will are admirably iI lestrated by two Yorkshiare aneodotes. A landlord of very old family proposed to make an alteration in one of bhis tenat'i farm buildings, which the tenant de Solined to permit, whereuapon the land t lord remarked very mildly that, after all, the building was his own. There upon the tenant rejoined, "Nay, my forefather went to the crusade. with a your forefather, and you shan't tomb a a stone of it " Again, a daughter of one of the lead ing citizens cf a Yorkshire town hinted to her father's ga8dener that the famil; would like to appropriate the greenhonuse to the purposes of a vinery, whereupon a she was told to let her father know "he may just choose betwixt me and the - grapes." Of course the proposal was Sabandonhd. A Wonoderalu Isltad *Oha The English island of Thanet, form Sing a part of the coOunty of Kent, is al most wholly composed of chalk.
