New Yok May 22, 1873, Newspeper offices, until within & fow years, bavebeen the most unsightly, as well as the most unwholesome, of habitations. Journalists ‘were Jong thought to be a pecaliar order of ani- Tuals, whose health and comfort did not depend upon fresh air, light, or clesnliness. But the world zdvances, and it is now discovered that the representatives of the press are not material- ly difierent from other members of the human family, and that what is necessary to their fel- lows is equally necessary to them. NEWSPAPER OFFICES, OLD AND NEW. The Herald, Times, Journal of Commerce, Bun, and Evcning Express occupy buildings erect- ed epecially for their business, and though they are far from what they ought to be, they area wast improvement mpon the dingy lofts and dreary oellars which once composed their entire establishments. The Evening Post has pur- cheeed s piece of property at the corher of Broad- way and Fulton, and will, in due time, get oat of its present uninvitibg quariers in Liberty street. The World snd Commercial Ad- vertiser seem fised in their ancient and musty quarters, but tho Zribune has already bogan to pull down the.drab pile it ‘’has used for nearly thirty years. The new build- ing will be an advance upon any printing-house in the city, if the present plans be faithfully car- ried ont, and the defects of other offices will be remedied 50 far as practicable. It is to be hoped that it will prove a model establishment, which the Zimes snd Herald were to be, and are not- The ablest of architects have been engaged by the Tribune Association, and there is abundant means to render the structure, when finished, sll that it shonld be. Every newspsper estab- lishment hore bas been more or less a failure, and journalistic curiosity is rife to see if the new edifice will prove an exception to the rule. 3 THE CHANGES OF YEARS. It is only thirty-two years Iast April since Hor-~ ace Greeley issued the first number of the T'rid- wne, and it is barely twenty-seven years since the ‘building now undergoing demolition was put up. Changes enough for a century at least have tak- eun place in that time. Ten or twelve Btates have been added to the Unlon. The Republio has grown four or five-fold stronger and richer thao it was then. Slavery, which Horace Gree- loy waa oue of the first to oppose, hasgone down in the war which suppressed the Rebellion. The 0id World has wndorgone mighty rovolations, too, and encient dynssties ha ve become extinct. Not a few of the men and women who were the earlicst laborers in the Tribune have possed away. - Horace Greeley has but lately been Inid in his grave. Richard Hildreth, the suthor of a history of the United Statos, and s gifted and versatile writer ; William Henry Fry, the com- poser and musicel critic; Henry J.” Raymond, afterwards editor of the Times ; Count Adam de Garowsld, the éccentric Pols and choleric pub- licist ; Margaret Fuller, the most briliiant and Jearned woman of her time and country,—all these have laid down the burthen .of life, with many other less known workers on the Tyibune. That - journal hse made numerous reputations, and there is hardly s leading news- ‘paper in the conntry to-dxy which has not smong he members of its staff some man, ormen, who ‘have heen engaged upon the Tribune. Bayard Taylor gained Lis force as & writer of travel by his letters printed in that paper. He was but 24 when he formed his editorial con- nectior, with it, and in its columns originally aj poured his partutives of ifs and observation in alifornis, 8yris, Chins, Indis, Bussis, Greece, his watering-place corréspondencs, afterwards collected in & vol- ume under the title of “ Lotos-Eating.” . Edmund Clarence 5t won his flntPoefic leurels by contributing to its columns the ** Din~ mond-Wedding; ” and other litterateurs of note have laid there the foundation of their fame.

Ho was walking in the environs of Geneva, betweon 4 and 5 o'clock in the evening, when he saw & regiment of red ants crossing the road. ; They marched in good order, with a front of thres or four inches, and in a column eight or ten feet long. Huber followed them, crossed a hedge with them,and found himself in'a mesdow. Tho high grass plaialy Lindred the march of the army, yet it did not disband ; it had its ob- ject, and Tonched jt. This was tho nest of an- other spocies of ants, blackish-gray ones, whose bill rose in the grass twenty. steps from the hedge. A fow blackish-gray ones wers scattered sbout the hill ;-as soon 8a these perceived the enemy, they darted npon the strangers, while others hurry into the galleries to give the alarm. The besioged ants come out in & body. The assailants dash upon them, snd, after & very short but vory spirited struggle, drive the black- 5!!3‘ ones beck to the bottom of their holes. jne army corps presses after them into the gallerie, while otlier groups labor to make them- gelves an opening with their tcoth into the Interal parts of the hill. They succeed, and the Temainder of the troop makes its way into the ‘esioged city by the breach, Peter iuber Lad seen battles and exterminations of ants befors this, He msposed they were slsughtering each op! other in the dopths of "the caverns. What was his smazement, after three or four minutes, when he saw th assailants fssuo hurriedly forth again, each holding between its mandibles a larvaora nymEhl of the conquered tribe! The aggreasors took exactly the same road again by which they had come, passed through the hedge, crossed the road ‘at the same place, and made their way, still loaded with their prey, toward a fleld of ripo grain, into which the honest citizen of Genevs, respecting another's property, re- frained, with regret, from following them.—The Popular Science Monthly. 2 —_— INVALID. ‘When, o'er the hilltops, I ses, in the morning, Clouds disappear from the brow of the day, Teaving o shadows to darken the Iandscape, Fain would X rie and like otbers bo gay,— Climbing the hilisides, or down fn the valleys, Leaping and sporting, a light-hearted boy ; a years that have gone—many sad ones— 8ince, 13 zy lot, there has been much of joy.

Music. The German Singing Socicties of Chicago, - Their Origin and Their Ace complishments. e The New Liederkranz--- Hans: Balatka Elected Leader. There is an old German proverb which says : “Who loves not wino, wife, and song, remains a ool his whols life long,” and as Germans donot wish to be considered fools, it is only natural that they should love thoso three things exceed- inglywell. Inthis articlo, wo ehall let wives aud wine alone, and speak exclusively of tho love of Germans for the less intoxicating but certainly more soul-inspiring article, namely, song and music. Germans lave been colobrated singers and musicians . since they first became & diatinct nationality. Who has not heard of the German Minnesaengors or Wan- dering minstrels of the middle ages? or what German has not been edified by that greatest snd oldest of all German songs, the Nibelungen- lied, which Richard Wagner is now composing into four grend operas; three of which, the « Rhelngold,” ¢ Walkure,” sud *Siegfried,” aro now completed, while the composer isyot st work on the fourth, named “ Goetterdsemmer- ung.” Even in the middle ages, Germans were a8 fond of siuging festivals and tournaments 2s at the present time, which fact is also brought to our mind by Wagner's opern “ Lohengrin,” or the “Bingers’ War,” at the Wartburg. 1t will hardly be necessary to sefor to thoso grent Gorman masters, Boethoven, Mozart, Mondelssohn, Handel, Haydn, Weber, Liszt, Moyerbeer, and a host of others, to prove that Germans have continued to excol in music up to the prosent time. Whorever and in what~ ever climo Gormans have mado their abode, they club together and form singing focieties for tho clovation of German song and the advancement of social life, and to practise music to be Elrcr duced for the edificetion and amusement of their fellow-citizens. No wonder, thereforo, that Chicago, with its 100,000 German inhabitants, ghioul bonat of some of the best singing ocie~ ties in this country. THE MAENNER GESANGYERELN. Tho first German einging society of any ao- connt, the * Chicago Maenner- Gesangverein,” was organized in 1852, under the leadership of G. Weinman, and among their nctive members wore such woll-known citizens s J. G. Gindele, Goorgo Sohuoider; R. Sciloesser, O. Winpo, Charles Soune, and Honry Marwedel. This So- clety was the founder of the well-known German House, cornor of Obio and North Wells streots, end sunk more moncy in its erection than waa ot their command, which caused their final dissolution. During their existence, they gainod considerable reputstion by their production of the oporas Czar and Carpenter,” under the leadorship of Emil Rein, and the “Daughter of tho Rogiment,” under the lesder- ship of Mr. Julius Unger. Both operas wero performed at Rice's old Theatre, on_Dearborn street. Aftor tho dissolution of this society, soveral vain attempts were mado to unito all the clements in tno city into a new society, but withont avail, until the yoar 1865, when the nows of the nssassination of President Lincoln roached this city. Tho Gormans, who had beecn nmong his stoutest supporters and _admirers, were groatly shocked and decided that all the German singers shonld unite under the lexdershin of Mr. Otto Lob, to poy their 1espects by offoring some Eongs at hi funeral corfege whilo passing throngh this city. The society thus formed was kept intact and named the “ Germania Maennerchor,” which to this dsy has continued to be the leading German singing society in this city. THE GERMANIA MAENNERCHOR. The Germania_Maennerchor remained mder theleadership of Otto Lob for soveral montha after their orgsnization, when some difficulty arose amnng their members causing & largs number of the Society to_secede. The soceding party, who took the Leader, Otto Lob, with them; organized THE CONCORDIA MAENSERCIOR. The Concordia, for & time, s very prosper- ous. About the year 1868, Mr. Otto Lob resigned and Alr, Williom Grosscurth became._the leader, and under his auspicos the * Magic Flute " was roduced with great success by them. Mr. rousourth remained the leader of tho Concobdis ol 187, when tho Socioty again usited with the Germanis Maonnerchor. Those that had ro- ‘maincd true to the Germanis at the timo when Otto Lob and his followers seceded from them were very fortuuate in obtaining & very able and efficient foader in tho person of Hans Balatks, and became vory prosperous. ‘Thoy rentad the large music-ball in Uhlich's Block, whore their mestings and reunions were mostly held. The Germania Maennerchor was the firat sing- ing society to introduco & certain class of rofined ‘music in this city, The entertainments st the ‘Wabaah ‘Avenuo Rink and the socials at their hall in Ublich Block will long bo remembered by those who had the pleasure af enjoying them, and their masquerade balls were tho me plus ullra of anyihing of the kind ever produced in this city. . The - great success of the Baengerfost in this city, in at which over 5,000 forcign German singers assembled, must, in & great measure, be sttributed to the energy and entorpriso of this Society, althongh the other musical associations in the city reu- dered valusble assistance. At the Sacngerfests at Indianapolis, Lonisville, St. Lonis, and Cin- cinnati, the Germanin Maennerchor was greatly Lonored, and, in several instances, received ‘prizes for their excellont ginging. Inu 1870, tho chorus of this Society assisted in several con- certs, which were given for the benefit of the wluiflavla and orphans of their brethren in father- and in the winter of the - same year they ‘performed_Weber's masterpiece, the opers “Der Freischuetz,” Flotow's *Biradells® and _the *Ninth Bymphony” of Beethoven. After this the Concordia Maenner- chor again united with the Germsnis, and Mr. Schmelz, of Milwaukoe, was engaged as lender. Tho Germania and Concordia Msennerchor, 15 they were now called, continued to grow and prosper, and_gave many delightful entertain- menis in their new hall, which they had_fitted up at s great e in the renovated Ger- mon Houso building, until the memorable 9tk of October, 1871, when-the firo fiend consumed all they possessed, even their eplendid musical Library, This calamity was disastrous to the individusl members of the Bociety, most of whom, being residents of the North' Division, lost sll thoir earthly posses- sions. But efil they kept together, ~and weathered the storm. To-dsy they are agsin & pxotzglamns Bociety, and will 800D _OCCRPY eir new and elegant hall over Greencbsum's Bank building on Fifth syenue. At prosont the chorus numbers abont sixty male voices, smong them several ex-~ cellent soloists, while the honorary members number nearly 300. Ar. E. Telle is the present leader.

Keil, Recording Secretary ; W. Her- mann, Corresponding Secrotary. THE ORPHEDS, s The Orphens Gesangverein in point of num- bers and prominence comes next to the Ger- mania. Society was organized in_1869, Mr, Henry Greonebaum being their first Presi- dent and Mr. Otto Lob, the first leader. During the Presidency of Mr. O. Moyer, who was elected four consecutive_times, and. who managoed the affairs of the Sociely with great skill and judg- ment, they rose at once into prominence, aud and e very prosperous. In 1871, they erectoed their present fine hall on the corner of Peoria and Lake streots. As the members of this society are mostly residents of the West Division they suffered but little from the conflagration, well, , Eince this Go take thine honors home: rank with the best— Garrick, and statelier Kemble, and the rest Who made & nation purer thro’ thelr art, Thine is it that our Drama did not dle, ‘Nor flicker down to brainloss Pantomime, And thore gilt gauds men-children swarm to sos.

The North Side Turngemeinde and the Vor- warts Turner Bociety take also great pride in re- forring to the Mannerchors aiached to their societios, which are little, if any, inferior to the regular ginging societies. Both of these Turner singing societios are under the leadership of Mr. August Scheuffler. THE LIEDERKRANZ, The Chieago Liederkranz, which consisted of & largo numbor of prominant gontlomen, who together with the leader, Hans Balatka, seceded from the German Asennarchor, & short time be- foro tho fire, were broken up by that calamity.

There has been & gradual progress toward esse in the local money market during the past weok. Some of the banks that have & large line of mercantile accounts have experienced an extremely active demand for money, but it has been mainly from merchants whose capital is small in comperison to their business and who are consequently al- ways bard-up. Aside from this there has been scarcaly 88 much demand for money ' at some of the banks 28 thoy would like, and: some quarters money is offered freely on collat- erals at 10 per cent, and on call even at 8 per cent. The business in local stocks has been un- usually emall for the last two wecks.

The reason is simple, but sufficient. The roads which carry zros\n to Milwaukes take it at a reduced rats m all points which are also connected with Chicago ; 80 ‘that, in most cases, the cost of shippiag and selling in Milwaukee ia_less than tho gimple cost of shipment to this city, Thoso who know this fect adk tho question, Cannot tho grdin be carried to Chicago at prices that will pay to deliver it in waukes ?” The phyn[l;.&{mwar to this question i .““Yes ;" but there is an impediment in the way that has thus far operated as o moral impossibility. This, how- ever, is only one of goveral cases in which Chi- cago is discriminated against by the railroads. A committeo was appointed by the Board of Trade, some_time 8go, to investigate and re- port in regard to thegs things, but no good has ot como of it. It is understood that en effort isbeing made to collect the fees for the inspection of grain throngh. the railrond. comparies,, nstead of through waraliouses, the lattor being the more general way now. Tho difference hetween the two plaus is simply that the reilrodd collection will aceure the funds when the service is per- formed ; whilo the warehouse collection is not made il the grain is taken out of store. THE MARKETS. Thore was & little more life in the produce markets to-day, and a firmer tone all round, though twenly-four hours had _elapsed ‘without £ storm. ‘The ‘business was, however, chiefly speculative, cash lots of prodade not being montioned some- times for & quarter of an hour togother. The shipping movement was slow ; but it is usally 80 on Satarday. The maes of operators did not scom to build much upon & continuance. of fine weathor. The inquiry for white and colored staple cot- tons, and for seasonablo drees goods, was slight- Iy more active than on_ provious days of the week, but aside from this the movement was sluggish, and in most dopartments.there was an apperent lack of firmnese. Grocerios were gen- erally quiet, and,if, wo cxoept cofleos, syrape, and spices, tho quoted prices were oply indiffer- ently sustained. There waa fair activity in the butter market, and tho prices ~current | earlier in the weok twere uniformly well sustained. Within tho past few dsys there 1ias been noticoable_improvement in the quality of the offerings, & liberal proportion of that now coming forward being grass butter of good flavor, and yellow. Salas were chiefly at 18@25c, thongh small lots of strictly choico ab 26@27¢ was obtainablo. Bagging remains quiot at 36360 for Btark, 850 for Ludlow, 34dc for Lewiston, snd 82 for Americen, No mew features wers developed in connection with the cheese, canned goods, oad dried frult’ markets, trade ruling ull at the prices current yesterdsy.

Most descriptions aro in light stock, and the tendencyin cod and fat mackerel is slightly in an upward direct The hay market was in much the samé condition 88 noted in previous reports, pressed descrip- tiozs meeting with & good demand st fim prices. As farmers aro now busy with their planting, there is only a moderate smount com- ing in, snd deslers prodict continned high prices. The hide trado was dull, neither local nor outside tanners seeming inclined to operato to any largo extont,s bub the moderato stocks in storo snd _the continued light receipts stimulate holders, and prices were fully maintained. Pig-iron was quoted dull and easior. Tobacco; psints, and paper atock g0ld at about former quotations.

Prices are_withont meterial change, though rathor easy for common brick_and lime. There wero no new features to noto in connection with the wool market. The Western mills are buying old wool in small quantities, and the stocks are quite Iow. The neyw clip haa bardly commenced to come forward: It is thought that prices will be iront 3@5c_lower than the present rates for old wool. Hops and broom corn are without erceptible chengo ; the former are quict, while room corn is meoting with the usual démand, the good s boing scarca and firm. Thers ‘was very little doing in seeds, excepting Hunga~ risn and millet, which were in moderate request st reduced pricos. Poultry was in liberal supply but slow of sale, and pricos ruled weak and lower. Eggs were nctive at 1134@12c, closing quite . Greon fruits, vegetables, and potatacs were without particular chengo. TLako freights were dull, but nomirally firm ot tho advanced quotations of Fridsy, both carriéra and shippers holding off. Several vessels ar- rivod in port last evening and this morning, but shippers wero idiaposed to take hold il the vessels aro réady to 10ad, s the fact might work to_their disadvantage. Carriers asked 6c for corn, aud 7c for wheat, by eail, to Buffalo, and 12}¢¢ and 1830 for corn and wheat to Oswego or Hungston. ugh freights to Boston, by Iake and ndi“;q;;oted at 25c via Buffalo, and 26c vis Ogdensburgh.

At the anoual meeting of the Chicago Lum- bermen's Exchange, held in March last, the rales of inspection 10 lumber gold by cargo were changed 50 88 to beidentical with the grades piled up by the leading yard firms of this city: A gchool of practice was established, with Inmber taken from the piles of one of the’lead- ing yards of {he city ; but_the near spproach of the “opening of navigation, and the stormy weather, did not giye snfficient time for the edamination of all the inspectors (about” 100) in the city; - but some twenty or more qualified themsolves and obtained certificates. Thisis tho beginning of & syste- matic and uniform mode of transacting the im- mense lumber business of this city, and it is hoped by tho trado that the plan may'be in gen- eral practice next season. By reference to our quotations, it will be_seen that o -cargo of mill- Tun lumber was sold under the new rules on Saturday, being, wo beliove, the first groen will run stock sold in this maoner this season, although soveral salos of clears have been mads on that basis. : LATEST.
