N 16 THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, FEBRUARY &, 1874, REAL ESTATE. A Great Increase in the Vol- wme of Business, Capitalists from Abroad Buying for Investment and Speculation, Abnndance of Noney Offered on Morigages ard for the Pur- chase of Ground, The Drift of Speculation to the South and West. 36,760,000 of Real Estate Trans- ferred in January.. The improved feeling in regard to real estate Investments noticed 1 our article of & woek ago not only continues but increases, and tho predic- tion made pearly {wo months 2go that the searcity of otber satisfactory investments would canso a flow of capital to this city for invest- ment ip real estatois being verified. Within the past week we have talied with several men Iasgely interested in real estate who were feeling very despondent amonth ortwo ago, but who now say they are convinced that there will be great activityand. sn sdvrnce in prices this spriog. It may be said thet in these cases the wish ie father to the thought, but it is at loast an evidence of o great chango in’ tho general feeling, that men who iz weeks ago feared s continued depression and a possible decline in the prices of real estate, now icel 2a-confident that the influx of capital from abroad is preparing the way for a3 active a geason in real cstate 28 has been experienced in some yeary. : “Afier »panic money always accumulates in {ho hands of capitalisis, because they tempora~ rily lose confidence in tho valuo of everything -but money. Bus soon they begin to realize that ‘hoarded money dwindles away, and when invest- ment in any particular ling does take a start, it goon swells £ an extra volume, in proportion to the previous depression. The Inrge advance in railrosd stocks end tho smaller one in Govern- ‘ment bondsin thelost week (instance, Rock Island stock quoted yesterday at 108 agatnst 104 at the beginping of tho weck) shows that the accumu- Jation of money has coutinued until cepitalists f£ind that, being unsblo to lend it, they must buy gomething in crder to uso it. Couniry bankers and money-lenders from three different quarters in this State during tho past week toll us that there was never 80 much money in the country es now, and that moro is offered for loan on mortgagse of farms thun can bo used. Mach of it has been, snd is still being, sent into this city for investment in commercial paper and mortgages. But this avenue of em- ployment is alrezay becoming ivadequate to the suppiy of money, &nd oven mones-lenders them- selves ndmii that o decline in the rates of inter- est, ontsido of banks, is moro than probable. “There are plenty of country capitalists who do not speculats either in railroad stocks or Wosi- ern products, and for these thero seems no in- vestment s0 attractive as real estate in a city like Chicago, whick must incresse in wealth and population ualess the entiro business of the country is overturned. The men ip this city who have been promi- nent 28 speculators in real estute for several Fears past are doing comparatively little now,— not because tuey have not contidence in the prospects of activity, but becauso_they were orippled, first by the great fire, and had not re- eovered from that when their calculations wero again upset by the panic. : But ‘that money is now coming here from various quarters, both Eastand West, we have numerous evidences. Thero is ecarcely a well- known resal estate agentin the city but isre- ceiving inguirics bout_the chances for invest ment, and eccompanied by offers of sums of money, from capitalists in various parts of the countty. A good many purchases have already been made, and among thoss of this class mada during the past week wenoto: Eig%:ly acres in tho W. 3¢ of the N, W.

There is another class of investors from .abroad, who are coming here to take up their residence, and, following the custom more gen- eral in this city than perbaps any other in the world, make their first iransaction the purchase of aome. To the namber of those, and the amount of capital thus being brought here, there is, of course, no clue, except 23 it hap- peus to transpire incidentsl to the negotintion. But wo have reason to believe the number is larger than at any time for » year past. BUSINESS IN JA]\_‘DAfiL' The aggregate of the considerations for prop- erty transferred in January was 85,700,000, apainst $4,700,000 in January, 1873 THE DBIFT OF SPECULATION. We ropeat the statement made s week 8go, that the greatest activity in_suburban lots and acros is int two genorsl directions, viz.: westward, along the Jine of tho Galena D m_of the Northwestern Raiiroad, including the bolt of tor- ritory between Chicago avonne on the north and Madison street_on tho south, uad Aaxle_qdmgd all the way from Wostorn avenuo to Ausiin, and in some degres even to Alaywood. Sccond, South- ward, between Stato streot and the lake shore, embracing the whole South Park region, from the city limits all tho way to South Chicago, and extending southwest to Washington Heights. There is copsiderablo juguiry aud pogotiation for property in other directions, as there would Tatirally be in the general rovival of netivity now being experienced, butwo bear of no im- portant sales vetin auy dircctions but the two sbove indicuted. At THE NORTHWESTERN CAR-SIIOPS thero is great activity in building, notwithstand- ing the wintry weather, and within s radiug of 3¢ mile of the shops from 10 to 12 lots per week are now being sold singly to workmen at prices ranging from 2700 to 3900 each. AT BOUTII CHICAGO 5 thera is also a good deal of activity, and work- men are buying lots almost every day at prices Tangivg from $200 to £40 each. By an advertisement iu another part of the paper it will be seon that 2 tiact of * LIGHT THOUSAND ACRES, beginning 2}4 -miles south of the month of Calumet River, Lss beeu put mn tho .mar- Lot, with tho view of subdividing it and lsying out auother now manufactnring tovn there.” The north part of this _land is fourteen miles southenst of " the Court-House, but from the Hyde Park Hotol, to_which the city is now continnouely built up, it is only sbont eight ‘miles, and the prospect is that the rapid exten- sion of the city southward will fill up this gap as far a5 South Chicago in three or four years at most. We believe there is no suflicient author- ity for the statement mede by a morning paper that the Pittsburgh & Fort Wayne Kailroad Company will build their shops on tho apove-mantioned tract. But those who are acquainted with the territory, and kmow th facilities that may be made there for dockage in the various lakes, all of which can bo entered from Lake Michigan by vessels, will recogmizo at once tho probability that one of the most im- portant suburbs of Chicago may be established there. Indeed, considering tho natural superi- ority of the harbor facilitics of that quarter, in- cluding the Calumet River at South Chicago, it is at least a curious question why Chicego was 3:;)_: onginally located there instesd of where it is. TIE BALTIMORE & OIHIO Railroad Company have at length made & defin- . ite proposal to the South Park Commissionors for the privilege of running their line through the southsvest corner of the South Shore Park, by carrying out the line of Railroad avenue (on which they alrady have the right of way) toa Jjunction with the Illinois Central at Bixty-third street. The Park Commissionors are, we be- lieve, inclinod to favor tho plan, though no dofinite answer can be given until the full Board can consult with their altorney as to their legal sutbority to grant any railroad such a privilige. We have already on provious occasions given the reasons why it would be a benefit to the park—by making it more accessible—to bave a railroad on the pro- posed route, and we believe the properts-own- ers in all that neighborhood are in favor of al- lowing tko rond to go through the park under rezsonable restrictions. The Baltimore & Ohio people eay that, if this right of way can be se- cured, they will Lave their entiro track com- pleted and in running order for suburban trains, from the depot at the foot of Lako street to South Chicago, by the middle of May. Should this be accomplished, it will certainly givo a great impetus to the improvement of the whole tract of territory along the lake shore, 88 far as South Chicago. SATURDAY'S TRANSFERS.

R Fireflies in Brazil, The cncojo, or firefly of Brazil, is quite poj ular smong; the Iadics' there on “acconnt. of the pe phosphorescent light they produce. So splendid are these beatlos, that the Indies aro often in thehabit of catching them and trimming their dresses with theso living dismonds, faking eare to fasten taem in such o way as not to in- jure them. These iusects ara nocturnal in their habite, and upon close inspection the whole in- terior of the body seems to bo incandescent. At night in the forests, when the air is filled with myriads of blazing tlary crossiug and recrossing in every direction, making the deepest glades lu- minous with their flaming lamps, and_sppearing and vanishing as if suddenly brought into ex. istence, and as suddenly sunihilated, they present s sight almost too magnificent for escription. \When the infects sre fiyiog they appear adorned with brilliant gems of the most Deautiful huo. It is #aid that they wore formerly used by tho Indians a8 Jamps, for when several are put together in s glass or tubo, the light is sufiicient to admit of writing or feading by it. On cortain festival days they aro collected in great numbers, and distributed over the gar- ments of the young people, who gallop throngh the atreots on their chargers, which alfo aro sim- ilarly ornamented. The young men on thesa oo~ casions display their galiantry by decking their mistresses with these apm'klinfiy “living dia- monds.” Parts of the lentern fly are formed into amnlets and necklaces, attached together by means of a fine metallic thread, and worn by the higher rank of Brazilisn Iadies, by whom their s[l);lanflor is considered exquisite’ and bnll- iant. The glow-worms or fireflies of our own land are generally found to inhabit the borders of aths and the outer marging of woods, espacially in low gituations, when they aro observabla after the heat of the day is over, and when the dew is falling. The light is only distinguisheble when the wings are expanded. or when the in- sccts aro fiying, in the males; whils the femalo insects ara tho most luminous ones. It is a common belief among the superstitious that these insects inhabit the graves of the departed. —_————— —Itis safo to presume that the Sixth Com- mandment is occasionally read in Righmond sanctuaries. And yet the Enguirer ssys that two-thirds of the jurymen who let young Mc- Carthy, the due}ist, off with s fine of 8500, nxe prominent memb«gs of churches in that city. THE CHRISTIAN UNION. Place in the Benevolent Work in Chicago. Its Objects of the Organization and Means Used to Accomplish Them. To the Editor of The Chirago Tridune: . Stz: With tho large number of religions, be- novolent, and charitable organizations i the city it is but natural that much confusion should exist in the minds of many people in regard to the pasticular province of such societies,—their field of 1nvor and the objectsthey seek to accom- plish. Asthis often results in serious incon- venience to people, leading them to apply to so~ cioties which have not the ability to dothe things which thoy want done, it bas seemed to me that some articles setting forth the province and work of our varions bencvolent gocieties would be of public value. With this view, I would like to present to the roaders of Tre Suxpay TRIRUNE a plain state- ment of the work of the Chicago Christian Union,—its field of labor and tho agencies it em- ploys. a And first permit me to correct some misap- prehengions which exist in the minds ‘of many people, Itisnota relief society, as some sup- pose—having no relief fand, Its work fs not reformatory, but rather that which shall loss en the necessity for reform—belioving that pre- vention i better than cure. Itis not specifically a roligious organization. While all of ita work Lios its foundation in the true spirit of Chris- tianity,—the elovation and good of the poople, —the Union does not engago in specific re- ligious work, nor in the propagation of specifio religious belief, but furnishes instead & broad basis on which ali can unite in doing good, how- ever diverso their roligions beliefs mny be. 1TS FIELD., It soeks to occu[cyz the broad field in our city between the churches and religious organiza- tions on the one hand, and the public charities on the other—snpplemonting their work, but not in any sense their rival. 1TS OBIECTS are to benefit the poople, without distinction of nationality, sex, purty, or sect, by furnishing the means for social, mental, moral, and physicat culture and improvement, under, circumatances and surroundings that are pure and clevating, thus building up character and lessening tho {m\ver of temptation to evil courses and irregu- arity of life. _AGINCIES EMPLOYED—BOOMS. The Union occupies three entire floors, at 114 Madikon strect, which afford amploand con- venient space for carrying on its work, even if greatly eplarged. Tho first floor is devoted to tho office and_parlor, library and reading-room, and & pleasant locture snd class-room in the rear, sienting about 200 persons. On the second floor is Union Hall, occupying nearly the entire fioor, and which is nsed for sociablos, ontertain- ments, and other large gatherings. The third floor i8 occupied entirely by tho gymnasinm. LIBBARY AND READING-ROOM, The library contains about 1,800 volumes. Jembers are privileged to draw bookis aud retain them two weeks. The reading-room has a well- selected list of magazioes and reviews—daily and weekly papers and publications, The read- ing-room is free to the public, but only members are privileged to take books from the library. AMUSEMENTS. In the rear of the reading-room are tables pro- vided with chess, backgammon, and checker boards, the uso of whichis free to all, and which afford persons the opportunity for innocent amusement, without their being obliged to visit questionablo places of resort to obtain it. EVENING CLASSES. The ovening clagses form one of the most im- Pportant Teatures of the Union's work. They aro maintained for the benefit u(Jmaple ‘whose early 2dvantagos have been limited, and who desire opportunities for improvement. The classes now in successful operation are: three in Ger- ‘man, in charge of Prof.vindrew Groh; two in French, taught by Madame Dodou ; - English lit- erature, in charge of the Rov. Jossph Haven, D.D.; astronomy, in charge of Elias Colbert, n',‘}‘; ‘phonography, taught by Mr. D, Kimball ; and vocal music, by Prof. C. G. Walker. The aggrogate memborship of the ovening classes now formed is over 250. The Union will form additional clasees in auy branch of ugeful study whenever there is a suflicient number of por- sons ready to form a class. LECTURLS. The Union furnishes a_lecture-conrse Monday evening of each weok. This course, though es- pecially designed for the benefit of memborepia iree to the public. It commenced on the first Monday in December, and will be continued till May, and poseibly longer. The lectures are mainly given by citizens of Chicago, and are upon practical topica. Thns far the courso has Emv 2o unqualified success—the attendance a8 been good and the lectures firat-class in point of interest and merit. Beside the Moudsay evening coursp, Prof. Ha- ven, duriog tho fall and early winfer, delivered his course of lectures on ** Ancient and Modern Philosophy,” and Mrs. Kate Doggett is now giv- ing a course of Art Loctures on every alternate Friday afternoon. The lecture-room has also been furnished on several occasions to persons who loctured on their own account, LITERAGY SOCITTY. A litorary delnting club meets every Saturdsy evening, diecussing questions of interest se- lected from the current ovents of the times. HOCIADLES AND ENTERTAISMENTS, Once a month the Union provides a sociable 2nd public_cotortainment for members and their friends, which helps in developing and caltivating the social element of the Union worle. THE GTMNASIT. This occupies the entire npper floor of the building—is furnished with apparatus of the best style and quality. It is open to members overy day, Sundays cxcepted, from 9 a. m. to 10 p.m., and furnishes opportunities for physical culture and development, the value of which can hardly Uo overestimated. Among its ppa- ratus are two health-lifts, one of which is kept on tho first floor for the converience of ladies and such gentlemen as do not care to nse the gymnasinm. ATTENDANCE. The ettendance at the rooms of persons who come for the privileges of the reading-room, library, classes, and gymnaeium, as shown by accurate count, averages about 400 per day. This number would be cosiderably increased if the attendance upon lectures was included. MEXBERSHIP. The present membership of the Union is about 1,050, and is of four classes, viz.: Annual, by the payment of $1; supscription, by the pay- ment of $5; contribntng, by the payment of $10; nod hfe, by the payment of 8100, Tho zumber of life members is 1 Annual members are entitled to the use of the library for one year and admission to classes on payment of §1 per term clags ducs. Subserip- tion members are_entitled to the mse of the library and_free admision to any or all the class- es. Contributing members are entitled to the use of the gymnasinm, health-lift, library, and admission to classes—in short, to all the privi- loges of tho Union—for ono year. SUPPORT. The Union has no resources or mesns of sup- port oiher than its receipts from memberships and such donations as its friends may give. During the present winter it, in common with other_bonovolent organizations, finds it difficalt to realize sufficient from these Bources to meet current expenses. But it is helieved by the Board of Government that it is practicable to securo such an increase of the first three classes of membership that the receipts from them will oventually meet all current expenses, so that in timo the life memberships, 15 they ara obtained, can be applied, with some subgcriptions slrosdy pledged, to the creation of a permanent fund. A%preael}t about one-half of the support of the Union is realized from the annual subscri; tion and contributiug memberships, and tho bal- anco from life memberships and dopations., it is tho further vicw of the Board that the trme rinciple for ths conduct of such a work 28 the nion’s is to furnish its privileges to_members a¢ minimum net cost instend of * gratnitonsty, or at less than cost—thus removing the work en- tirely out of the domain of charity, but ot of Lenovolence. THE COST. The cost to the Union of the privileges afford- ed to members diminishes exactly in proportion 25 the mentersuip increases. Tho addition of 1,000 new membere, while doubling the income of the Union and doubling ita usefulness in the community, would edd but little to 1ts presect cxpenses, aad wonld render it entirely solf-sup- porting, while farnishing ail its privilegea ot & Tato far below that at which they conld bo se- cured elsewhere, and withio the casy reach of any man, woman, boy, or gitl whose only sup- port is their labor. Each member would then ay the fall cost of all ne roceives, and would be spared theloss of self-respect involved in {Qelinr‘g ‘En be is enjoying privileges tho cost of whi has been paid by some cthsr person. 1 Until such memmm&p is obtained, the Union has to rely for apart.of its support on life memberships and donations from ita friends.

The question is often asked, Why is your so- cisty called the * Christian', Union,” when its worle is entirely eecular ?
