The Horse-Disease Inferfercs wiih Transactions, Prospective Effects of th}s Increase of Suburban Trains., The Demand for Dwellings--- Business Rents. Building Notes---Transfers for the Week. Boal estate transactions have not escaped the general interruption of business from the horse- disesse. One of the most apparent effects is tho decrease in sales of suburban lands. Buyers and sellers of this class of property find horses and buggies indispenssble in their negotiations ; few persons are imprudent enough to buy suburban lands without seeing them, and this clasa of property, particularly, cannot bo seen without the aid of horses. The interrup- tion of real estate business, however, is not coufined to transactions in suburban lands. The Inck of horse-car facilities during the last week has prevented parties visiting even the nearer residence property, and it may be expected that in & week or two the general volume of trans- fers of real estate will show the effect of the present difficulties of transit. Notwithstanding the circumstances above men- tioned we do not find that there is any less dis- position to buy suburban property if the wonld- be buyers could get to see it, and, in some cazes where both parties to negotiations are acquaint- od with the localities in question, Iarge transac- tions have been completed. Mr. Martin Andrews has sold 80 acres, fronting south on the north boundary of Donglas Park, for £3,500 per acro. He paid $1,500 per acre for it two years ago, thus making a profit of $2,000 per acre, less taxes and interest, for two years. Some months 2go, Mr. 8. J. Walker bought the 120 acres belonging to the Pock estato, immediately adjoining the above, at o price variously stated 8t from $2500 to 93,000 per acre, and it is reported has recently been offered $83,500 per acre for 40 acres of it. If it were not for the horse disenso the speculative activity in suburban Jands would undoubtedly be as active a8 ever. ; The lack of street-railway facilities hus pow- erfully supplemented the impulse given to the suburban movement of population by the great fire, and it would be quite & moderats estimate toeay that thore are now ten times us many peopla who vibrate between their homes and their places of business by means of the steam cars, a8 thero were fourteen months ago. It is truo that o largo proportion of them go 4o the same homes they did by the horse-cars, but the number of suburban residents has increasad largely, and as people get into the habit of go- ing by the steam-cars to any place of residence, they are more ready to adopt tho idea of going a little further. If a man uses the steam-cars at all for his daily movements between home and business office, he can go seven or eight miles just as well as. two. The difference. of time to go the additional five or six miles is searcely sppreciable in point of convenience. The view which speculators in suburban lands take of the present situation is, that the faslion of travel by steam-cars will be stimulated , by the horse disesse, and that this wil ultimately have the effect to increase the demand for suburban property. While the effect in this direction may not be so marked as to attract attention, it must be admitted that if the present defanltof horse-poweras amotorhas any effect on suburban proporty, it would finally be in the one above indicated. The increase’ of suburban trains on all our railroads gince s week ago is, of course, not wholly permanent, and_with the ra-establishe ment of horse-car facilities some of the extra steam trains will be temporarily drswn off. But even with the present.increase of trains, itis Worihiof note that our steam railronds do not fomish anything like the facilities afforded by Easternrailroads. Anexamplaof thisisfurnished by the Philudelphia, Germantown & Norristown road, which sends out 98 suburban trains each day from its dagut, at the corner of Ninth & Green streets in Philadelphia. This is exclusive of its regular pussenger and freight trains to distant points. “The possibilities of city expan- sion by means of steam cars on the favorably lo- cated roads of Chicago would seem to be almost incalculable in view of the extent to which our present railroads may yet increase their suburb- an traing, Of course, there are plenty of people who are “not built to run on time.” To them it is & bore to be looking at one’s watch every few minutes in the morning to see whether it i8 not about train time. Some personsare o constituted that this constant attention to & trivial matter would wear on their nerves like the continual dropping of water that weareth awsy s stone.” We may conclude, therefore, that there is no danger of the near-by residence districts being deserted for the suburbs, Tho interest of the railrosd companles in pro- moting suburban travel is well stated in a recent article by Hon. Josiah Quincy, in the Old and New, viz.: 41 believe that the managers of our railroads aze coming to realize the importance of building up villages by liberal reductions of fares. The enlightened policy of the Old Colony Railroad ia even now creating one of the most beautiful and thriving eottlements in_the vicinity of Boston. The hills at present called Wollaston Heights, in the town of Quincy, which President Adams used to say commanded finer views than any he had seen in Europe, are being covered with hounses witha n&id.lty almost ungreceden!ed_ While part of this succoss is donbtless owing to the sble management of those controlling this seftlement; and their guarantee thatthe community shall never know the nuisance of a grog-shop, a large portion must be attributed B tho Divectors of ‘the railroad, who promised s free ticket for three years to each householder, provided fiffy houses should be built. In threa years the number of passengers between Wollas- ton Heights and Boston increased over four hundred per cent, and_the income of thd road from the families and’ friends of the house- holders over three hundred. The following are official returns : Passengers. Income, 3376 § 44519 1,160.70 1,802.80 For the year ending June 30, 1869. For the year ending June 30, 1870. For the year ending June 30, 1871. INSIDE RESIDENCE PROPERTY. Next to the suburban lsnds, class of property in most active request i8 residence property, ranging in value from $75 to $200 per Eront fost, There is an_ aoive demand fora class of good medium residences costing from 89,000 to 315,000 for the house and lot, and many of the builders, who have been engaged on contracts in rebuilding the business dis- trict, will turn their capital entirely to_building residences noxt year, as it is espected that the amonnt of building in the business district will be comparatively small next summer. BUSINESS RENTS are likely to ‘be lower mext spring than nog. As an indication of o the decline already ~ experienced in some quarters, we maymention_that the Sherman House has been rented to Messrs. Munson & Clark for $40,000 per annum. Before the fire it tod for 355,000. The offices under the Sher- Tasn have all been rented for railfond ticket offices. The building on the southwest corner of Wa~ bash avenue and Monroo street, four stories high and 40x80 feet on the ground, has been Tented to Ely, the tailor, for $20,000 per an- Dum. : The building southeast corner of Jackson and Wabash, 2‘le%0, four stories high, hes been rented for §7,500 per annum. In our real esfate article of lost Sunday, we erroneously stated thata really first-class restau- rant was to be established in the basement of the Superior :Blccks1 corner of Randolph and Clark streets. We should have said that it was the building in the rear of the Buverior Blocks As some of the prospective ten'zigiat.S Block abject o havieg & restn CACNTS offices, we make the correction't BUILING NOTES. Work on the new buildings has progressed ‘ander difficulties the past week even where there bas not been, as in many instances. = complete standstill. In structures where the stage of completion has called for s light amount of hnu]ini of material in proportion to the labor much has been done, for the finished iron and woodwork and the supplies of and steam-fitters have _ been drawn from the shops in wagons by hand. Brick teams and the stonecutters’ wagons have been & rare sight, and operations :fiapendjng ‘upon these have Btopped. Thisis a severe blow to the hopes of many bnilders, and a reverse not to be repaired this season, In numerous cases, small lots of old brick to finish jobs have been picked up in the burnt district, from parties not intending to build_st present, and conveyed in hand-barrows; buf thisis too expensive 8 pro- cess for other than the mere topping out of jobs, Soveral fine structures, however, have recaived the last touches of their masonry in this way. The M:i:)r building, on the corner of LaSalle and Madison streetd, received its last stone on Saturday, and the superb Gallup & Hitchcock building, dingmally opposite, isnot far behindit. The Palmer House keeps a small force of work- men busy, but is not being pushed. The Pacific Hotel has received roof, Mansards, towers, and flag-staffs, is nearly plastered throughout, will be closed and steam-heated throughout for rapid operations throughout the winter, and the same will apply to the Sherman House. Several of the great retail stores on State street, north of Madison, are receiving their finishing touches, and will be occupied by well-known firms within the present month. ite & number of stores on Madison and Clark streets are newly occu- ied. Anderson's Hotel, on Madison, and Pea~ ody’s Hotel, on Dearborn, are receiving their furniture. Work on the new Government build~ ing has gone on night and_day, and good prog- ress has been made considering the lateness of the start. Ground has finally been broken for the Ki.%f@- bury Music Hall, on the site of the old “Mu- seum.” The entrance to the new hall will be from Clark stroet, opposite the Sherman House. It will be 17 feet wiLFe, leading to & hall 80x100 feet, containing comfortable sitting capacity for 1,500 spectators, while it will hold when “jam- med” fall 2,200 people. It is to be chiefly a masic hall., sheps it will be an elongated octagon.: The stage, large enough for a chorus of 350 people, will be at the south end. The body of ‘the auditorium will be level, seated with cheirs to adapt it to the uses of a far or a ball. The gal- lery will extend around the north, east and west sides of theroom. It will be raised13 feet above the audience-room floor at the front _edge, and will contain seats for 600 persons. The means of exit from both main room and gallery will be ample, consisting, besides the main Clark street entrance, of two stairways opening into the alley in rearof the building, making stotal width of 29 feet of exit. Itis contemplated to light this room with skylights, so that it may be nsed for conventions, church services, etc. ; in tha day time without the use of gas. 'The building will be lieated with steam. The basement of this building will be 13 feet high, arranged for a res- taurant. YESTERDAY'S TRANSFERS, The following instruments were filed for record on Saturday, Nov. 9: CITY PROPERTY.

Dr. Zaremba, of the Illinois Humane Society, makes the following suggestions to shippers of poultry, in this city: *Inssmuch as poaltry is plenty in our market, the attention of commis- sion men and grocers iz rgain called to their shipment and cooping. Coaps for two dozen chickens must be at least two feet wide, four feat long, and one foot high, with ‘s tight bot- tord, the sides and top to be made of lath, two .and a°half inches apart, the first Iath close to the bottom, to prevent the toes of the chickens from being broken when coops are jammed to- gother. A'coop as described_sbove, three foot wide, will hold three dozen chickens. Coops for one dozen turkeys or geese must be at least twenty inches high, mnde in other respects like the one for two dozen chickens. poultry, while in coops on the sidewalk, must bo sup. plied with the necessary food and water in tronughs, placed alongside the coops. Any dealer in poultry who keeps his stock a3 above recom- mended will act as s gentleman and Christian ought to, and gain enongh in two shipments to pay, for the coops.” g B = —Block Tsland is to have & new hotel, a steam- ‘bost wharf, and a line of steamers, and proposes in five years to ‘“lead the United States asa watering-place and yacht-station.” 3 —Daring the years 1870 and 1871, according to thereturns of the commercial agencies, the num- of failures in the United States represented the sum of $100,000,000. Our for«la)igncommena'{or the past year amounted to $1,100,000,000.

Suicide of & Daughter of Henri Rochefort. Exhumation of the Remains of Baron von Trenck, How thé Countess of Paris Failed to Secure Entrance to La Grande Chartreuse. Anccdote of Napoleon I¥I---Letter from Prince Dolgorou- kow to the Late Emperor. From Our Oun Corresponcent. Panis, October, 1872, SUICIDE OF ROCHEFORT'S DAUGHTER. She was not only lovely, but she wes just 18, Beautiful hazel eyes, flashing fire; chestnut bair, abundant as Absalom's; the bosom of Venus; a complexion white as -alabaster—ciie ‘might have driven some men mad; she could have mede any man happy. Instead of that, she went to Hotel des Ardennes, Rue Vert Bois, hard by the Jewish Synagogue, just off the great boulevards, in a quarter of Paris justly called the hive of the great city, for in that district every floor is & manufactory, snd all the by-streets teem with the busy bees. I sayshe went to Hotel des Ardenncs, asked for a chamber for a week, paid the week’s rent in advance, brought in a brazier and charcoal with her, and lasid down dressed on the bed to die,—to die by her own hand. Her mother was go poor ; they had gone 50 often withont meals ; they could not see how bouse-rent was to be paid, how winter- clothes were to be bought. She died by her owa hand, and she Wwas only18! They had heen icher once ; she had never known what priva- tion, and poverty were, till La Commune fell 5 before then they had possessed all they wanted. Her father had made his $100,000 & year clear profit; but then he had many vices. Heaven (or rather the D—l, for these vices are entered rather in Hades' ledger tham in Heaven's High Chancery) knows how many mistresses he had, aud how much money ha nightly lost at cards, and how much gold his parasites drew from him,—so that when the year ended, he had little left but debts—and children. A child here, aud s child there, to stroggle with hunger, to wrestle with poverty, to make exhausting efforts to keep footing in life. Such is Herri Rochefort’s history,—for that poor, lovely girl of 18, who has just com- mitted suicide ina furnished lodging-house, was Herri Rochefort’s danghter. It was in La Commune as it had been in the first French Revolution; not one of the leaders were married men;ell of them led irregular lives, with no children but bsstards, and, for wives, mistresses. Anarchy reigned in their honsshold before they introduced it in the State. The great Revolutionary geniuses, Voltaire and Rous- sean, themselves never were married, and the Intter tossed all his children to the oundling Hospital, Model roformers of society! Heari Rochefort has treated his family with unusual heartlessness. While he was literally coining' gold, his father died in a garret in one of the suburbs of Paris, almost of starvation. His sis- ters are very poor, and_have never received one cent from him. e only kindred he has seemed. to feel the least affection for are a son and daughter, to whom he has given the remnant of his fortune. BARON VON_TRENCE. The mortal remains of Baron von Trenck, the famous Colonel of Pandours, have recently been. exhumed. He was buried, and his remains still lie in the Capuchin Convent at Brunn, Moravia. They were disinterred to be placed in & new and highly ornamented coffin, whose lid bears the amily arms, with this inscription: * Francis, Baron von Trenck, Imperial-Royal Colonel, and. Commander of the Corps pf Pandours, born at Reggio, in Calabris, the 1st of January, 1711; detm Brunn, the 4th of October, 1743, This plate has here been placed in memory of his an- cestor by his grand-nephew and last _descandant in Austris, Henry, Baron von Trenck, Imperial Major on half pay, 1872.” The shell contains a glass coffin wadded with silk, wherein the Temains are contained. In an adjoining cell aro objects which relate to the two Baroms von Trenck,—such a3 engravings, portraits, personal objects’; for instance, the pewter goblet which Frederick von Trenck owned in Magdeburg Prison, and on which he engraved (having no tool but & sharpened nail), in an extremely artis- tio manner, a great many figures and lires of poetry, which are 5o delicately traced 2s to be seen only with & magnifying glass; a painting which repregents him in Msgdeburg Prison, holding his chains, which weighed 60 1bs; a but- ton of his gatin coat; and all books written about thém. 3ONS. PAYEN. You probably did not hear of Mons. Payen's death when it occu.rrcd&tor it took place during the siege of Paris. Otherwise his important in- vestigations into alimentary substances and ag- ricultural chemistry would have. made his loss generally known. He was an able chemist. He- was a Professor at the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers. His position entitled him to an office in the Conservatory, which he never allowed anybody to enter, and which he kept in most ad- mired disorder. The gentleman appointed to succeed him as Professor, of course inherited this office, and, upon his retarn to town from his annusal sojourn in the country, gave orders to clear out m:adecessor'u Proj and send it to his family. Among the objects were two glass-jars, opaque with the saccumu- Iated dust of years. The ground glass stoppers Were ramoveav, and their contents were exam- ined. The jars were found to be filled with old papers, which closer scrutiny proved to be Gov- ernment and railway bonds worth $48,000, with coupons due, but uncollected, for years. LA GRANDE CHARTREUSE. The Count and Conntess of Paris are visif ing all the more interesting objects in France. He s collecting materials for a book on the working classes of this country, and is spending soma time in all the great manufacturing towns, You remember he wrote an able book on the Trades- Unions of England. But, as I have'said, he visits not only the French hives, but all interesting places, which are near busy haunts. Tother day, they visited La Grande Chartrense, the noblest Carthusian convent in the world. They were accompanied by Duke Decazes. ‘Women (the holy friars remember the woes Eve introduced to Paradise) are not allowed to cross the convents portal. e Decazes, neverthe- less, hoped that hisown rank, and the exalted station of Lounis Phihbp e's grandson and the head of the House of Orleans, would lead the head of the convent to relax the rigor of the rule in favor of the Countess of Paris. Tho Duke argued invain. The worthy hesd said: % No, no, no; we cannot receive Her Highness, for, thoughshe be of Royal blood, she is not of the family which reigns over France.” The Duke asked: *Yon dont mean to ssy you wonld receive Mme, Thiers?” The head an- swered: ‘“No, for M. Thiers does not rslx%n over France; he only governs Fronce.” The Countess of Paris was obliged tfo sleep at ‘he woman's hostelry. ‘The Duchess de Berri once entered this mon- sstery. When she reached the hostelry which precedes tho convent, she gent to ask permission to visit it. The same an- swer was returned her which was made the Countess do Paris. She smiled and retired to her chamber, whence she emerged in mas- culine attire. Bhe, of course, entered with tha rest of her party, seven gentlemen. She was curious especially on one subject. She had heard that the monks ate out of inkstands, and was inquisitive abont the origin of the rumors. Fortunately, the monlks were st table when she entered the refectory. The Carthusians had before them somethirg which looked s good deal like a huge inkstand. It was a vessel with & bowlin the middle. This bowl was filled with | beans, Al aronnd it was a sort of deer Rormins
