Ucneral Grant's Friend.
Twe Stories of the Famous Tem Ochiltree,
es.q., at I'exas.
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. "

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. II.," worth
$1,300 ; a Lady's watch, marked " E. C.
S." worth $400 ; a pearl lace pin, crescent
shaped, worth $275 ; a locket portrait of
Marie Antoinette, worth $150 ; an enam
eled locket, worth $30 ; a black enamel
diamond set, worth $230 ; a coral set,
worth $200 ; fourteen scarf plus worth$280;
ene pearl shirt stud, worth $09 ; one onyx
silver button, marked "G. R. 3.," worth
$25; a set of shirt studs, worth $" ; a
geld necklace, worth $30; one fur-lined
circular, worth $200 ; one bracelet (horse
shoe and whip), worth $40; two ram's
head brackets, worth $40 ; a porcelain pin,
containing a female figure, worth $100 ; a
lady's watch chain and slide, worth 9150.
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.
