For plbur Summer Retort See Page 14 New York View ol Brooklyn's Water Front. Seventy five percent, of the bulk and about 60 per cent of the value of the exports and Imports of the Port of New York are handled In Brooklyn.

A large amount of these goods are not brought to New York City, but are unloaded aad reloaded at Brooklyn piers. Mayor Hewitt, la his last mes sage to the Board of Aldermen, denounced tne system by which so much of the dock property of New Yore City is In the hands of private corporations. In this respect New York Is much better off than Brooklyn; for the people ot that city, with the exception of those who have sufficient means to enable them te live "on the Heights," are debarred entirely of any view of the river, except from the ferry houses and two or three public pier. Brooklyn has a water front on the East River and the upper bay of about fifteen miles, extending from Newtown Creek to Bay Ridge. The appearance of the water front on the Long Island shore is in marked contrast to the view of the river front on beth shores of the Island of Manhattan.

Here, en either side of the city, the water treat is skirted by a publlo street, while on the Brooklyn shore the entire froot, except at one or two points, and exclusive also of the Government property at the Navy Yard, la In the hands of private owners. The city has only three public, piers, and aside from these the only points of approach to the water open to the public are at the ferries situated at the foot of Hamilton avenue, Atlantic avenue, Montague street, Fulton streot, Broadway, Grand street and Greenpoint avenue. Although to the careless spoctator crossing on one ot the ferryboats or watching the shore from the deckX)f one of the Sound stenmors, the long line of warobouses along the Brooklyn shore from tho Navy Yard to Go wan us Bay appear to bo dull and lifeless, yet hore is landed more than 75 per cent, of all foreign goods received at tho port In South Brooklyn are three large water basins where ships are constantly loading and unloading goods which are stored la the immense brick storehouses built around the basins. All sorts of vessels aro to be seen here, and the cargoes they unload are of every variety brought from foreign lauds logwood, sulphur, iron, rubber, coffee, raiBlas, hides, cocoauuts, tobacco, nitrate of soda. Jute butts, cork, tar, coctlneal, rock salt, Italian marble, camphor, rags, hemp, bamboo, Italian cheese, codfish and hundreds oi other commodities.

Many of these goods are at once loaded upon lighters or are shipped on trucks to points in this city, but many go into tho store houses, to be held until required by the consignee to fill orders. Oftentimes goods remain in these storehouses from one year's end to anothor. Three years ago the Highlander unloaded 200 tons of hemp at the Plorrepont Stores, and It has lain there undisturbed since that time. The annual receipts of coffee landed at the ware houses in Brooklyn amount to about 2,000,000 mats. This constitutes about 90 per cent of all the coffee used In this country.

These shipments are brought from Rio de Janeiro, Santos and Bah la, in South America, from Mexico, Java, Singapore, Savonilla, Angostura, Maracaibo, Manila and other points. This trade is a steady one all tbe year round. Keg ularllne steamers plying between this port and South American ports bring from 25,000 to 30,000 mats of coffee on each voyage. This Is the busy season and many of these vessels bring no other cargo, while a large fleet of "tramp" steamers find profitable employment in the trade. Most of tbe coffee landed here is received at Martin's, Roberts' and Harbeck's stores.

These stores are between the river front and Furman street. which runs along the shore close at the foot of the bluff on top of which are the homes ot Brooklyn Heights. Here day after day an army of longshoremen are busily engaged loading and unloading tho bags aud mats ef coffee, storing it In tbe large warehouses or loading It upon lighters for Bhlpment to seme point In the harbor, to be sent by rail or steamboat Into the Interior, or to some other port along the coast At these stores, also, much of the sugar received here Is stored until required. Nearly 1,000,000 tons of sugar were landed in Brooklyn last year. This is about 90 por cent, of the total amount of sugar landed on the Atlautic coast; about 75 per ceot of this amount is usually placed in the warehouses, aud the rest goes to the refineries which line the water front of Brooklyn betweea Newtowa Creek aad the Walla bout Canal.

The busy season In tho sugar trade sets lu about tho middle of February. Tho receipts this year, it is expected, will oxeced those of last year. All of the sugar is sampled aud weighed by offlcers In the employ Of the customs service. February is one of the busiest months for the handlers of oranges and lemous. Tho steamships bringiug tblB fruit land their cargoes chiefly at Watson's, the Columbia or Prentice's stores, south of Montague street More than two million boxes of oranges and lemons were landed at those wharves last year.

About one hundred vessels are regularly employed in this trade. The work of unloading the steamer Is quickly accomplished. The officers of the Health Department make a hasty but thorough examination of the boxes as they are landed, and all that aro condemned are thrown to one side. Frequently, because of some delay In the arrival of the steamer, a large portion of the cargo is thus lost Oue steamer which arrived last Summer had the misfortune to break her shaft. and when tho cargo of 30,000 boxes of fruit were landed, there were less than 1,000 boxes that was found to be in marketable condition.

All the sound fruit is piled up at the sides of tbe covered pier, and then, sometimes before the work of unloading Is completed, tho brisk longued auctioneer has mounted a box at one end of the pier aud Is Knock iug down tho lot to eager buyers. In tblB way all the fruit arriving at this port is disposed of. The purchasers lose no time in shipping their goods to their storerooms in this city or to customers. This class of Imports is not placed lu the storage ware Irbuses. Many of the steamers bringing oranges and lemons also bring small cargoes of sulphur.

The sulphur is shipped in bulk, and as it is unloaded the air is filled with the fumes, and the vessels, the docks and the clothes of the 'longshoreman at work unloading the vessel are covered with the yellow dust About 40,000 tons of crude sulphur are uu loaded annually at the docks of Brooklyn. Im meuso quantities of crude rubber are also received at the stores; more ihan 15,000,000 of the 17,000,000 pounds of orudo rubber imported into this country last year were landod at the water front of Brooklyn All ot the bondod and tree storehouses along Brooklyn's water front are built In the most tbor ough manner, and are as near fireproof as can be made. They are from three to eleven stories lu height, with heavy brick walls pierced In front and rear with windows, which aro closed with heuvy Iron shutlors. The floors are heavy, and are capa ble of sustaining great weights. The party walls separating the storehouses are continued to the height of about four feet ubove tho level ot the roof, to serve as shields against flames spreading from one building to another.

It is six or eight years since any serious lire occurred along the water front of Brooklyn, wheu one of the storehouses near Montague street was burned out The little tugboat Seth Low, which is used as a fireboat by the Brooklyn department, is stationed at Cath arine Ferry, and two of tho most powerful engines in Brooklyn are quartered in houses along tho waterfront The valuo of the stock stored in these gloomy, somber looking buildings is almost Incalculable. Twonty llve thousand tousof tooacco are frequently In store at one time; 200,000 tonBof sugar Is not an exaggerated estimate of the average amount usually in store, and every other article of merchandise Imported can be found in greater or less quantities at some one of these stores. The value of tbe storehouses alone Is estimated at more than $350,000,000. All of this business has been de veloped within tho last thirty five or forty years, and especially at the newer and larger storehouses It has greatly lacreased in the last two or three years. This is due largely to tho Increasing expenses of wharfage in New York, and Brooklyn men predict that before many years the shores of Gowanus Bay will be lined with huge warehousos and surrounding large water basins, similar to those at Red Hook Point Evening J'ott.

HEFFBCNAN'S BODY FOUND. The body of Michael J. Heffernan, of eeventh street and Fourth aveuue, the reporter who was supposed to have Jumped from the dock at Forty ninth street on Thursday, was found last night at the foot ot Fifty fifth street I no only clothing on It was an undershirt The best way to enrich a poor field with scanty herbage Is to feed sheep upon it" The above from an agricultural paper is a specimen of tbe wisdom we sometimes get from that source. "Feeding sheep" on a 'poor field" can bnt make the field poorer, as the animal must sustain life. A poor field uncultivated cannot absorb tbe fertiliz ing gases in the atmosphere, neither can we make land richer by robbing it of part of what It pro duces without returning an equivalent In some form.

A Vide Extent of Country Drawn Upon for Haterial The Rose Question Some of the Varieties Failures Exotic Plants Not Greatly in Favor. Where are all the flowers giown asked aa Eagle reporter of a well known florist Ob, in several places.

The demand Is enormous and constantly increasing. We grow a great deal ourselves, but, of course, we purchase large quan ttes. In our little place we grow a great many roses, bat the bulk of the roses we sell are purchased from other growers. For instance, If you were In that little market at the foot of Thirty fourth street and East River the display of roses and Greeks would astonish you." "Greeks?" "Yes. The sale ot roses oa the street is almost entirely moaopolized by the wily descendants of tbe sages aud heroes whose spooks chummed with Mme.

Diss Debar. I do not know why it is so, but all the Grooks who como to America seem to drift into the business. They are a shrewd lot. too. I was In partnership with ono lately in a small way.

Ono weekly settling day he paid mo $7 as my sharo of the firm's profits. Ou investigation I discovered that he had that day lodgoil $150 in the bank to his own credit Then I kicked mildly but firmly, tho partnership has been dissolved and won't have any moro descendants of Grecian heroes in mine, all Lord Byron's poetry to tho contrary notwithstanding." How much glass havo you in that little placo ol yours Well, about one and a quarter acres: but there Isn't anything to be seen there now. You see It is in tbe transition stage. We are now preparing for next year's work. It Is not, perhaps generally known that the plants on which the season's roses are grown are never carried over te the following year.

They are propagated from cuttings, struck In heat, by men who make a specialty of the busi ness, and sold in enormous quantities, and sometimes at very low prices. At present you cau buy roses as low as 50 cents a hundred. These plants are grown on stages in about six inches of earth, whioh becomes exhausted after two season's blooming Is over and it would not pay to carry them over. Hence they are all thrown away at the end of the season." When asked about tbe extent of his transactions In flowers, he smiled pleasantly and declared he didn't have any means of knowing, but during the season his usual trade in roses ran all the way from 4,000 to 10,000 blooms per day. All not sold on the day they are cut are useless and are thrown away.

"Has there been much Improvement in roses of late years I hardly think so. Many of the new and much lauded varieties have been distinct failures. At preBont the best varieties are the American Beauty, La France, Peres Des Jardiue, Niphetus, Catherloe Mermets, Madame Cuisin, Bonceline, Papaguautier, Brides aad of course the Jack rcse. These, varieties are crown la all shades from white to red. Violets are largely grown along the valley ef the Hudson River, especially about Fougbkeepsie.

All the lsrgoat growers have stores In New York, and commission men as well, from whom you can pur chase 50,000 rose3 at any time. SWyou see the fair ladles of New York and Brooklyn are in no danger of being obliged to go witbout bouquets." "Are exotic plants or flowers much grown 7" "No; they are not much grown at all, and the few men who did grow them have given them up to a great extent" "Standard or budded roses are not much in favor." "Well, you see they are not a paying concern, as they only flower oace, and if not taken great care ot soon become wild it allowed to spring from the root thoy speedily become useless. They do not bloom with sufficient freedom to make them of value from a florist's point of view." J. R. A madstone possessed by a Chicago bookseller was applied to the wounds of Harry Pullla and Charles Sears, two Everston, boys, who were bitten by a mad dog.

The stone adhered in each case to the wound, and when saturated fell off. The boys claimed that they were much relieved, and the owner of tbe stone, after boiling it in milk and discovering a yellow scum thereon, is positive that the scum represents the virus from the wound. The stone came originally from South Carolina. MASONIC. BEDFORD LODGE 574, F.

Dutchess Oonntr, N. Y. Notable Escapes in Other Times and Places. Ingenious Convicts Who Rivaled the Elusive Prisoners of Kings County in Getting the Better of Sheriffs and District Attorneys. Prison breaking, in the proper sense of the word, Is now an event of very rare occurrence, but it may be doubted whether even the cleverest prison breakers of former times could have accomplished their feats la the present day.

Not only are the physical difficulties greater than they used to be, bat the constant inspection, the ceaseless round of duties, which are a part of the modern prison discipline, give the convicts no time for ad ventures of that kind. When a man escapes Itom prlsou la the present age he generally does so by cleverly abusing the liberty of movement which the moderu system allows. He scales a wall while the warden's back Is turned, or, without premeditating an escape, finds a door unlocked and takes advantage of the opportunity. Breaking through windows or tunneling under walls Is now imprac ticable. But it was not always so.

In the old days convicts were left shut up In their cells for many hours together; they had plenty of time at their disposal, and it is not surprising that they sometimes spent it In attempting to escape. It would not, perhaps, be too much to say that tho annals of war cannot show Instances of greater daring, or the records of useful inventions give examples of more admirable ingenuity than prisoners have shown In regaining or endeavoring to regain tbelr liberty. No real escapes, it may be admitted, can match the imaginary adventures of the abbe and the sailor In "Monte Criatdf but some do not leave these splendid fancies far behind. A few, but only a few, of the most noteworthy attempts have been made in our own country. Two of them are resorded in the ohronlcles of Millbank Prison, the names of the heroes of adventure being Plckard Smith and "Punch" Howard.

Smith was only 18 years old when he made his escape from Millbank and, when the lad's age Is considered, his achieve meut may be thought worthy of ranking beside the deeds of more famous scamps. He was con fined in a cell the roof of which was an arch of solid brickwork. It was the rule of tbe prison that on Saturday night clean clothes were served out to the conviota, the soiled ones remaining In the cells until the following Monday mornlug. Taking advantage ot this circumstance, Smith fabricated out of his double set of clothing four ropes, each of which was nearly long enough to reach from one floor of the building to another. Then, with tbe Iron pin of the ventilator, he made a hole In the brick roof of his cell, crept through It and found himself under tbe slates.

He was soon on the roof of the prison, from whence he lowered himself by one of bis ropes to a window sill, from that by a second rope to the next window sill below and so on till he reached the ground. Once In the yard he managod to lay his hands on a rope with which he lashed together two planks, aud by their help he scaled the outer wall. "Punch" Howard's escape was conducted on similar principles but it was remarkable for the extraordinary fact that tho win dow through which he squeezed himself was a mere horizontal slit in tbe wall three feet long but only six and one half Inches high. He afterward said that he got his head out first aud then (lying on his back) wriggled slowly through. Wheu half way out he threw himself up, caught tbe coping of the roof, clambered up to it aud then, by his rope of blanket strips, lowered himself to the ground.

Fortunately for him, he landed In the graveyard of tne, prlsou and the sentry, seeing a 'white object suddenly appear In that uncanny place, took It for a ghost and fled, while Howard scaled the wall by the help of a plank and escaped. One prison breaker whose adventures have won for him a place in history is Frederick, Baron von Trenck, who had the misfortune to offend Frederick II. The facility with which Von Trenck bribed his Jailers and corrupted Frederick's offlcers and the frequency with which he was himself be trayed throw a curious light ou the ideas of honor obtaining In Prussia at that period. At his first attempt Von Tronok attempted to carry oil a brother officer, who was, like himself, a prisoner; but this individual betrayed him. He afterward got a warder to bring him a file, and constructed a saw out of a pocket knife.

By the help of these instruments he cut through his window, which was sixty feet from the ground; but In descending he fell and was recaptured. Some time afterward the Commandant of the fortress was speaking to him, when Von Trontk, with a really splendid audacity, seized the officer's sword, cut his way out of the place, leaped from the rampart, killed a sentry who opposed blm and would certainly have succeeded In escaping but that be met another who overpowered him. Nothing daunted by his defeats, Von Trenck bribed soldier after soldier aad corrupted one officer after another, only to be again betrayed. Eventually, however, ho got his guard to allow him to escape, but In doing so he bad the misfortune to sprain his ankle. For hours he and hi3 companion wandered about in the cold and darkness, not knowing where they were.

Next day they procured horses from a peasant who had a son in the company of the officer who had fled with Von Trenck, and they reached Austrian territory. The Governor of Dantzis, however, delivered him up to the tyrant Frederick. This time Frederick threw him Into a narrow cell, damp and Insufficiently lighted, and kept him chained to the wall. Often he tried to regain his liberty, but In vain. At lengtb be was sot free, aud made his way to France, where, it is Bald, he perished by the guillotine at tho Revolution.

Very clever escapes are detailed In "Underground Russia," especially that in which the prisoner, a man enfeebled by confinement, darted from the prison yard under the nrse of the sentry at the gate, while some heavy hay carts were entering, and succeeded in regaining his liberty. Bat perhaps the most remarkable of all recorded escapes from custody was that of Giovanni Casanova dl Seingault from tho "Piorabi" of Venice. Above the hall where the dreaded Council of Three held their sittings, rlgbt under the leads, and exposed to the Btifliug heat of an almost tropical sun, were the cells known as the "PlombL" In one of these, in the year 1755, Casanova, a gay and unscrupulous adventurer, was confined. He was lucky enough to find in his cell an iron bolt, twenty Inches long and strong enough to do usefnl work; aud with this he dug a large hole under his bed, hoping to break through to the hall His improvised lamp was furnished with the oil supplied for his salad, and he managed to strike a light by tbe help of a flint and the steel buckle of bis belt But suddenly bis cell was changed and tbe hole was discovered. Casanova met the crisis with admirable coolness.

He demanded te be taken before the Secretary of the Inquisition a request with which his Jailer, for obvious reasous, dared not comply. To bis great Joy be found that his arrashalr, in tho bottom of which be had concealed his piece of Iron, was car ried to his new cell. Somohow he managed to find out that a monk was confined In the cell directly above his own; and he contrived to communicate with his fellow prisoner by means of notes con cealed in the hollow under the backs of books. Eventually this piece of Iron was transferred from the lower cell to the upper under a large pie dish, and with this tbe monk, after many dangers and delays, broke a hole into Casanova's cell. The latter prisoner was drawn up by ropes, made of clothes, Into the upper apartment and from it the two prison breakers forced their way through the roof and found themselves at last upon the leads.

Here their real perils began. The roof was wet and slippery and the night was pitch dark. Casanova missed his footing and slid down to the eaves. To his horror ho found that he could not stop himself his legs and part of his body went over the edge, and he only saved himself by catching his elbows in the gutter which ran around the eaves. In thiB horrible position he hung till, by slow degrees, he pulled himself up once more upon the roof.

At length he noticed a garret window far below. It waB almost inaccessible, but he and his companion reached It and succeeded In entering It From the garret they made their way down to the lower parts or sue ouiiaing; ana wueu tne mormug Droae they boldly walked out into tbe street As soon as he was in safety Casanova burst into tears. Several other escapes from the "Plombi" are recorded; bat from the "Pozzi," tho terrible underground dungeons bv the walls of the canal, no Drlsoner ever succeeded In forcing his way to liberty. JLondon manaara. The ladies' "leap year privilege" took its origin in the following manner: By an ancient act ot the Scottish Parliament, passed about the year 1228, It was ordained that, during tho reign of her blessed majesty Margaret every maiden lady of both high and low degree shall havo liberty to speak to the man she likes.

If he refuses to take her to be his wife, he shall be mulct in the sum of 100 or less; as his estate may be, except and always If he can make It appear tbat he is be trothed to another woman, then he shall be free."

Paul's Congregational Church (colored), of Canarsie, took place at Lehman's Grove, Canarsie, on Thursday, June 14. The picnic was held for the purpose of raising fundi to build a church on Rockaway avenue, the cellar for the same having been dug some three years ago. The affair was a success, which to a great extent was due to the exertions of the Stevenson' Theory ol Literary Popularity Compared With Literary Fame. Scribner's for July follows up the railroad construction subject with all manner of feats of engineering of tbe day described and illustrated. It is well these are accomplished with a somewhat gradual evolution and give time for the community to accustom itself to the conditions of travel they create.

The Tower of Babel could not have been half so presumptuous as most of them seem aDd people would never have trusted themselves to being shot Jhroagh the earth and the air in the style they have instituted had they been accomplished less gradually. But if, like the works of the spider, they are often fragile looking, they are made strong by a scientific Instinct which seems almost as unerring as that of the spider. T. R. Sullivan has a story, "Maestro Ambroglo." In "Lite and Travel in Modern Greece'' Thomas D.

Seymour, with things of great classic as well as modern Interest, gives us something about mountains that are as yet free from tbe tetters of railroad constriction. Parnassus is not yet tunneled or strapped with iron. Mr. James' "A London Life'' still cleverly exposes a sufficiently repulsive and tiresome phase of social existence In England, complicated with odious bickerings between sisters.

Young gives accounts of many of the most famous observatories, as well as of last year's eclipse of the sua. The vigorous realism of George Parsons La throp'a Gettysburg ode, while it again pictures vividly tho last fateful day of the battle, does not exalt Its significance much above what the Walt Whitman style of verse might F. J. Stlmaon's serial has an edifying episode in stocks. Robert Louis Stevenson In his very readable article on "Popular Authors" asks as to the reading million: kind of talent is required to please this mighty public, if any? Take Hemming, or the dull ruffian Reynolds, or Sylvanus Cobb, of whom perhaps I have only seen unfortunate examples they seem not to have the talents of a rabbit, and why any one should read them is a thing that' passes wonder." But he adds, as to their faire: "I and my fellows have no such popularity to be accounted for." FLOATING LITERATURE.

Tbe ninth annual report of the trustees of the Blnghamton Asylum for the Chronic Insane for 1887, sets forth that at the beginning of the year there wero 483 males and 453 fomales In the lnsiltu tion, and that during the year additions were made so that on September 33, 1887, there were 516 males and 523 females total, 1,208. During the year the Phelps farm of 380 acres was added to the facilities of the asylum, and It was thought best to purchase another farm of 191 acres, if possible. The expen ditures for the year amounted to $129,701.36, being a yearly average cost per capital of $130.46. The thirtieth annual report of the Brooklyn LI' brary has just been circulated. The readers of the Eagle are somewhat familiar with the facts and figures contained in this pamphlet The total mem bership on March 1, 1883, was 3,282, a number which should be mora than doubled this year.
