V !>15,000,000 AN ACHB. Km York Letter. Iu ‘'ie more common streets of New York In ml is worth from $250,000 to $:15().0U0 por 'acre. In the best part of UiMH.Jway its value is increased to $5,oitii,o00 per acre, but in the vicini- u \\ ill street its volue is immense 1» increased, because this locality is the money heart 'of America. The bun) on which the Drexel building stun■.- cost its present owners at the rate of $14,000,000 per acre. It occu pies the corner of Wall and Broad streets, which may be considered the most valuable corner on this conti nent, and yet when I was a Broad street clerk in 1840 this very place wa» 'occupied as a hat store. The corresponding value of property in this neighborhood has been illnstrat- by the recent sale of the corner of Broad street and Exchange place, which was at the rate of $15,000,000 per acre. Hence the Drexel lot was none too high. In fact, these daz zling figures are justified by the im mensity of the transactions which oc cur In-re daily. Almost all the rail roads on the continent, except New England, are managed within three hundred feel of this spot, and the general pressure of our immense ti- mtuciul system gives it a value which a few years ago could not have been dreamed of. Lucas Hirst was a Philadelphia lawyer and started liis legal career as an office boy in Attorney-tiencrnl Brewster’s office. He was of a more than saving disposition, for out of his ••aruiugs, which consisted mostly of small foes, he managed to amass a fortune of nearly $200,1)00. Even in his most prosperous days his expenses rarely exceeded $8 per week Not long ago he wont to the law library to look up a certain law, and point ing to a volumi. asked if be might "barrow it for a few minutes. He was informed that by paying $40 annual ly ho would have free tango of tbo en tire library, and that only in tbnt way could he have access to the books.— Greatly disgusted, he left, and mndo known his intention to sevornl friends that at his death he would found a free law library, which, he asserted, every city in the Union ought to have. Two weoltH ago he died, and it was found that ho had kept his word, for excepting annuities tor his three sis ters, who live iu pom- circumstances, his eutiro ostate will go to the estab lishment of the Hirst Tree Law Li brary. A UETTIill HITE, An ingenious tramp, thinking to wriug tours and money assistance from ttoe stoniest hearts with a now scheme, gavo it an experimental trial in the North End. He bos decided not to patent the invention. Ho told a North End lady of his unfortunate condition, and asked if he might eat soiuo of tho grass in the yard. The lady, not loss amused than surprised, said "certainly.’’ ■ He wont out, aud getting down on his all fours, commenced on tbo grass after tho neglected and never popular fashion of Nebuchadnezzar, and appa rently not enjoying the diet any more than that anciont sinner of olden time. Presently the tramp’s anxious eye caught sight of tho servant girl beckoning to him from the back yard. He thought a rich reward for his hu mility was in store, and instantly re sponded. "Did you motion to me ?” said he. "Yes.” "What did yon want?" His face now wore a look df most hopeful ex pectancy. “You may go iu the back yard if you want to. Tho grass is taller there/’ The contract for the casting of the bronze statue of General Robert E. Lee, for the city of New Orleans, has been closed, and the work will be completed iu about six months. The monument will be dedicated on next New Year’s dav Old man Jones* Telephone. Old Mr. Jones, senior partner of Jones A Son v considered it a good stroke of business when he had a tel ephone pat in his grocery. It took the old gentleman several days to get tho hang of the thing, but it paid to have customers order goods of him by telephone from a distance, when, before he had a telephone, they would run to tho nearest shop. Mr. Jones was congratulating himself upon this tho other morning when the tele phone bell rang. After the usual number of "balloos” he distinctly caught an order for ten pounds of sugar, two pounds of coffee, a pound of crackers, half a bushel of potatoes, a peek of apples and a codfish, to be delivered; but he didn’t quite catch tho name. After several vain trials, he asked the other party to spell it, while, pencil in hand, he prepared to write it down on a sheet of wrapping paper. "Double u,” said the voice. Jones wrote it down, and said— "Yes.” "Double u.” “I’ve got that! '1 "Well, put. it down again.” “Yes! Go ahead.” “Double ti.” “Why, I’ve got that I” “Put it down again.” “But I’ve got it down twice!” “Well, put it down three times !” Jones sighed and wrote it again. "A double d." "A double d—that’s ‘add,” solilo quized Jones; then he shouted back, “Add what “Add nothing! Just put down a double d !” “This is infernal nonsense,” mut tered Jones; but he cheerfully called back, “Yes—go abend !” “E double 1.” “Wh-a-t?” “E double 1!” Mr. Jo a c8 stamped on the floor and pulled his whiskers savagely, but he put it down and swoetly answered— "Yes.” "That’s all.” “All what y" "All tne unnio.” Then Mr. Jones studied his paper carefully a moment, where bo bad written, ”U n u u n u n d d e 11,” and remarked to himself— “ Why, that’s confounded non- souse!" He then halloed through the tele phone again, rung up the central of fice, aud inquired in vain who had boon talking with him. Then ho studied the writing some more. Pret ty soon iu caruo his son, tho junior partner. Mr. Jones showed him the loiters, and told how he got them.— Tho junior partner studied them lmrd, read them both ways, looked on the back of tho paper, and finally said it was the worso bosh he ever saw. They showed the paper to the book-keeper, and he said fit was sheer foolishness. Tho big clerk said it was absurd. The little clerk thought somebody was crazy. Finally tho errnnd boy looked at it nnd was told it was meant for some customer’s name; thereupon he asked Mr. Jones to call off the letters, as near as he could remember the same, as he had received them by tel ephone. Mr. Jones ifid so, when the errand boy nearly ehoked with laugb- iug, and said— Why, that’s perfectly plain.! It’s W. W. Waddell f" Mr. Jones never felt snch immense relief since he wont into business. Removal stop fiMO, THE FIBM OF GLOVER&Dim (SUCCESSORS TO W. T.
