Chicago 'limes. .Tern Mace, the celebrated English prize fighter new iu Australia, once spent a winter in New Orleans. He used te amuse himself and his admirers by bet ting the drinks with them that they could net hit him they te de their best te hit him and he simply te ward oft" the blows. Tem Ochiltree, of Texas, who has gained considerable reputation from his intimacy with General Grant, and perhaps even mere reputation from the fast running herse which was named after him, hap pened te be iu New Orleans during the winter. Seme of Ochiltree's friends told him of Mace's favorite bet. Ochiltree is a short, thick-set, powerfully built man. His hair is just red enough te indicate a fiery temper. As seen as he was told of Mace's bet he fired up and said he would bet the crowd a champagne supper that he could hit Jem Mace. The bet, of course, was taken at once, and the whole party started out in search of Mace. He was easily found in a neighboring drinking saloon. Macs was standing at the bar in the act of taking a drink. Ochiltree stepped quietly beside him and hit him suddenly a httnging blew en the cheek. Mace quietly placed his glass en the bar, and scarcely moving his body, brought his right hand up and struck Ochiltree a fearful blew just under the ear. Ochiltree immediately fell te the, fleer iu a heap. His friends rushed towards him, gathered him up and carried him te the nearest hotel. Doctors wera sent for in a great hurry, and after two or three hours of hard work they succeeded in bringing Ochiltree back te this earth. He was con fined te his room iu the hotel for three weeks, however. When he finally reap peared he was forced te furnish the chain pagnc supper. Seme et his friends said te him : "What in the world made 'you such a blanked feel as te hit Jem Mn.cc?" "Why," said Ochiltree, "I thought I would just tap him without his knowledge and would then explain te him." Among the numerous geed stories told at Ochiltree's expense is the following : He had just arrived in .New Yerk one win ter from Enrepc and was fairly resplen dent in a new overcoat and a very elegant sealskin cap. lie was talking with some friends iu a hotel lobby, and oue of them cxpressd great admiration for Ochiltree's cap. " Why, there is quite a little his tory connected with that cap," said Ochiltree; "that was given me by a French countess. Such a dear little crea ture, he bewitchingly handsome, and charming in every way. Well, I met her while in Paris, and she fell in love with me at once, and while I was there I saw a great deal of her. She made mc several very handsome presents, which I will show you some time, and among them was this hat." One of his friends who had become quite interested in the hat by this time, took it off Ochiltree's head, and there, pasted in the top of it was a trade mark with "Knox, Hatter," printed en it. " Loek here, Tem, " cried his friend "hew is this'? Here is 'Knox, Hatter, ' in the top of your hat." Ochiltree did net allow himself te be disconcerted by any little tradcmaik, se he answered very promptly : "Why, just as we were coming into the deck, this meruing, my cap blew off into the water, and was recovered by a small boy who steed en the deck and saw the accident. I took it r.p te Knox te have it repaired, and they have had the blanked impudence up there te paste in ene of their labels. I hadn't noticed it before. " Wcihllnsr Presents Stelen. A Thlct Makes On With Jewelry Werth SC.00O. One of the most successful sneak rob beries ever known in Brooklyn occurred in the rcBidcnce of Mr. Win. C. Shelden, the Wall street banker, at 44 Rcmsen street. A daughter of Mr. Shelden was a few weeks nge married te Mr. Prentice, and the wedding was one of the fashion able social events of the season. The wed ding gifts were numerous and costly. A party of ladies, including the bride, at tended a kettle-drum in Asteria yesterday afternoon, and Mrs. Prentice were the diamonds', which were part of her gifts. Upen her return she removed them, substituting plainer jewelry rnd put them away in their cases in her dresser, carefully locking the diaweia. The fam ily were at dinuer about 0 p. m., when Mr. Prentice entered the front deer. The hall was dimly lighted, but as he closed the deer he saw some one passing up stairs, and caught a glimpse of a face that turned te leek upon him. He did net ob serve whether it was that of a man or a woman, supposing at the time that the person was a servant. After dinner it was found that the house had been robbed of about $6,000 worth of jewelry. The thief had entered the fieat deer with a false key and had broken open the drawers in several rooms with a half inch chisel, which he had left behind. The following is the list of articles which were stolen : A pair of solitaire earrings, worth $2,000 ; a lace pin, with eleven diamead pendants, worth $800 ; a c&mce pearl and diamond pin, wertii i,aiJU ; a lady s watch and chatelaine, marked " K. dc F.

The description of some of the scarf pins is as fellows : A crystal fox's head, a Labrador spar monkey's head, an opal cameo, and Indien's head, a scarabcus, a geld bull's head, a lava horse head, a geld horse head, with diamond eyes ; a horse- snee, with diamond nails, and a cameo head of Hemer. Mr. Shelden has offered a reward of $3, 000 for the recovery of the property. Bosten's Wealth. Bosten, whatever may have been its ad ad verse fortune, still remains an extremely wealthy city, as a list of its rich men and women shows. The real estate of the city is valued at $437,230,000. The -personal property is estimated at $201,858,600. There is a total increase of valuation ever that of 1879 of $23,700,500. It is intim ated that there is a large amount of property which never comes under the observation et the assessors, or is ex empt from taxation, or pays only a state tax. There arc net many millionaires in Bosten, but there arc a great many pri vate fortunes of from $300,000 te $800,000. About $9,009,000 is raised by taxation. The rate is $13.20 per $1,000 There has been a marked advance iu the value of real estate, and the outlook for the future is declared te be flattering. Bosten has been greatly benefited by the rise in the Western railway securities during the last year : but the crencral tendency is te in vest in home real estate. A Railway en Ice. The Londen Pull Jfali Gaze tie says : Ac cording te the Glebe, an ice railway is projected between Crenstadt and Oranien baum, principally for the transport of go.eds. The Baltic railway company will supply the uccccssary rolling stock for this branch, which will, of course, com municate directly with the main line. A certain amount of traffic must be guaran teed before a beginning is made ; but once this is done, and the ice has attained the requisite thickness, the work will begin. by the laying of the rails, and the whole business will be finished within eight days. The time is'net tee short for the laying of an absolutely level line without either cut tings or embankments, and with a sur face of exactly the same consistency throughout.
