The Currency Inflation Stimulating Spec- ulative Inquiry. Fotes of Progress in the Suburbs. Transfers for the Week, Thers have been comparatively few important {rsnaactions during the past week. The atten~ gon of real estate owners and also of those who re contemplating purchases has become 8o con~ Sentsated oc the currency question that every- body scemed o be waiting for the solution of that before they could make up their minds sbout the value and prospects of real estate. 1he legitimsto effect which the small increase of carrency contemplated by Congress would have an prices of Teal estate, wold be very slight if it wers pot for the fact that people seem to hiave ‘sccepled the failure or guccess of the measure 23 » sort of omen or sign, the twist of the di- sining Tod, tho turn of the fortune-teller's card, which was to indicate whether real estate specu- ption was to become active or mot. Many ple bad lost sight of the certainty that the sccumulation of idle money must eventuslly fore some of it into roal estate investments, od bsd pinned their feith in the faturs, to the chanee of sn increase of currency. The action of Congress hss, therefore, created a bnoyant feeling 3¢ the close of the.w: The inquiry from speculative porchasers increased the very day that ihe Senate was known to be in favor ot inflation, and though it may be & week or two before the effects are ehown in any actual in- creasd of sales of property, there can be but 1ittle doubt that suck will be the resuit. ‘Among recent sales of residences in the city wa note those of the fino residence of Mr. Cal- vin T. Wheelor, No. 84 Calumet avenue, with fhe fot 15 feet front x 177 feot.deep, to Alr. Joseph A. Eohn, for $68,000. Also No. 571 Wa- ‘bash avenue, Mr. Eohn's former residence, for 15,000 SOUTH WATER STREEY STORES. “The concentration of theftrade in butter, oggs, Sruits, and other similsr products is making 3 ood demand for storos on South Water street, fimmn Clark and Wells. A pood many new stares aro being erected 1m that quarter, and are rented 88 fast 88 built. SOUTH STATE STREET. Within the past two weeka a large number of ‘business bnirdi.ngs Lave been commenced on Blate street, between Twenty-ninth street and Douglas avenne, Aliof fhese are fo be good, substantial brick structuges, from two to thres stories high, and adapted 1o a retail trade. The Jow price of Iabor wnd of building material ap- pears to be sumulating tho construction both of chesp business blocks and residences in all parts of the city. PAVING INDIANA AVENUE. The property-holders and residents on Indians avenue, between Thirty-first street and Douglas avenue, have pretty generally sigasd an sgree- men by which that part of the avenuo is to be paved aatly during the -coming season. When Ihis ehall be done, the people below Thirty-firet street will bave a continuous paved rosdway by ay of Thirty-first streot and Wabdsh avenus, «with the central portioh of the city. Some pregsure is being brought to bear on the Aldermen of the Fifth Ward to get the fire limits coutracted, at least 8o far as to have State strect made the westerr boundary of the limits, 1 placo of the present boundary, which is the alley between State and South Decrborn streets. It is hardly possible that the desire for any change is very general. THE DEMAND FOR HOUSES. One of the prominent features of the nast tro weeka has been the demand for cheap resi- dencas st prices ranging from $4,000 to £5,000; and, as the West Side Lies the largest amounnt of this kind of property, the inquiries of this class of purchasers are latgely in the direction of the West Sics parks. AT LAWNDALE, where thers are now twenty-sever. houses being eracted, s grest many ealaried men are purchas- ing new homes. Tho growth of this place i, in fact, ome of tha most, marked instances of the epreading out of the city. Fouror five years ego there was nothing there, and the land was eald at_from $1,600 to §2,000 per acre. Now there is & whole town there, with churches, schools, ete., ewc. Being within the city limifs, it has water from the city mains, and yel is 80 detached from the other built-up portions of the city that it is practically & suburban place. At the ‘NOBTHWESTERN GAR-SHOPS, where, two yoars ag0, there was nothing but apen prairio, there are now, besides the ehops, about sixty new buildings, and forty more are contract- ed for, to be built’ this spring, all within balf a mila of the shops. o oz o IO PR, i ere is a oal of inquiry in rej to 1and situsted north of Lmcoln Park and west of the Evanston road, owing to the contemplat- ed improvements on the Lake Shore Drive. For this reason, principally, property in that visinity is attrocting more attention than ever bofore. B.F. Culver sold, during the week, scventy- five feet on_Orleans street, just northof the park, for §75 per foot, - ‘0% TIE SOUTH SIDE. The activity of building and sales of lots fn all the promincnt suburbs of Englewood, Hyde Park, Cornell, and South Chicago continues as actively as mentioned in our articles of the lust {vo weeks. As an instange of the rise in value of ground we msay mention that 69 foet weat front on Wentworth avenue end Bixty-ninth street wers sold this rnek)gl.amu & Brooks, at-$30 per froni o0t ; the 50 feet of ground adjoining this was eold eight months ago av $25 per front foot. BTONY ISLAND BOULEVARD. Among other improvements in the southern suburbs, we notice that Mr. James Stinson is building s hondsome residence, to -cost from $15,000 to £18,000, on Stony Island _Boulevasd, touth of Sevonty-seventh street. This is tho first fino residence in that quarter, bnt &5 severnl others are contemplated in the vicinity of Soventy-first streat, and, 8s & good many lois kbeve recently been gold in the vicinity of Sov- enty-fifth street, it is probable that before fall theline cf this fine bordevard will be dotred . with honses hore aud thero all the wey to the crossing of the Pittsburgh & Foit Wayne Railroad. Alopg the ‘whole of that distance Stony Island avenus is now one of the finest driving roads in the suburbs, and this summer a great deal of the pleasure-Griving ili ba in that direction.

THE DRAMA. M'VICKER'S THEATRE. The legitimate did not thrive to any marked extent last week. It barely drew breath at Mc- Vicker's, whers Mr. Wybert Reeve was acting superbly in * The Woman in White.” He cama almost unheralded, an actor and an alien—quite enough, surely, to receive indifference from the public. He recured it, certainly, and once more the lovers of dramatic gonins lost an opportu- nity. When Mr. Reeve comes again, matters may be differently shaped for him, We hope they will, both for the sake of good actors and misquided suditors. Tho present week is de- voted to musio at McVicker's. Next weok, Miss Jane Coombs will open with “The School for Scandal.” HOOLEY'S THEATRE. The spectacular has come toan end at Hooley's Theatre after n season of unexpected success. It hes glittered, amused, dazzled, bewildered, and astonished for three weeks, and left’ behind :n the memory of those who saw it, such a glow as lingers in the wake of & November meteor. Business has been remsrksbly good, holding up to the Inst with scarcely any diminution in the gizo of the nudiences. Messrs. Jazrett & Palmer and Hooley have probably tumedin pleaty of ‘money, and aro as thoroughly satisfied as tho patient crowds who endeavored to follow the in- dividuality of the wandering limbs of the per- formers. The stock company have returned from their tour in the couoiry, and to-morrow avening Misses Meck, Cowall, and Mathias, birs. Maoder, Mia. Dillon, and Messrs, Blaisdell, Sullivco, Saalsbury, So;fgs, and Giadens will rosnme their nccustowed places before the footlights. The aunouncement that two benefils are to be given during the present week, on Monday and Friday eveings, for the emolument of Mesars, Soggs aud Sullivan respectively, will call ot a troop of frionds on both oceasions. “Risks" will bo pleyed st overs performance but Fridsy evening, wita the following cast «.Mr, John W. Blaiadell Mr. John Dilon ir, Russell So W.B, Amoid Littlo Hester Varney. A word about Mr. Boggs, who is the first benes ficiary. Tho patrons of Hooley's Theatro will always thinkof him s an actor of unusual versa~ tility, whoso characterizations have always been marcked with a strong individoslity. He has, during two seasons, presented a series of distinct. portraits, none of which have been marred by the porsonality of tho player. In o doing, Alr. Soggs hus proven himself a8 consummate actor, demands from the public a solid mark of its esteem. BMr. Sullivan’s benefit falls upon a none too propitious day,—Good Frdsy,—but the better the dsy the better the deed, perhaps, and ho 1eay, atter all, meot with greater success upon a fust-day then 6n suy other. The drama which will bo Stcnenmfl uron that date is & strong one, and will undouLtedly succeed in dxawmf 8 largd audience, irrespeciive of the groat popularity of the genial gentleman and clever actor for whoso benefit it will be played. A week frcm to-morrow Miss Katherine Rogers will commence a fortnight's engagement at Hooley's Theatre, with Mr. Boucicault snd a strong repertory. has b livi mulh Ih.rit hich it 28 been living up to_the popul which its opening vecks radicted, ans fiom besocrodod nightly for the past week in tho face of strong countér-atéractions. A change is announced for the coming weok, with s programme which promises sn arrsy of attractions for the lovers of light amusement who patronize tho enter- tainment at this house. Among these aro the pgreat gymnasts Zegrino, Moulton, and_‘“Ajax the Defiant,” whose first appearance in Chicago will securs a large house for their open- ipg night. In eddition fo these, the celebrated athletes, the Watson brothers, will be introduced to a Chicago audience. Although they bavo made mauy successcs in the United States already, they have never yet appeared in Cbicago, and their merits arp yot nnknown, Mr. Henry S. Page, the groat_cornet-plaser, yet ro- maing, and will be warmly appreciated in his Poat-Horn Galop. _Mr. 0'Leardon, the Foy Sis- ters, Patti Rosa.

To-morrow, for the first timein Chicago, G. L. Fox's New York sensation + Humpty Dumpty Abrosd ™ will be_given, with the Jee Brothers and C. Chrisde in the most im- portant roles, supportod byall the noveltiea which have secared for the company its present popularity. 4 AYERS' OPERA-HOUSE. ‘The minstrels have another good Dbill this week, sbounding in novelties, pre-eminent among which is the great Oriental buriesque, by ‘Ed. Marble, entitied “ Blown Up Alive,” with new scenery by Mr. Halley, and 6ome new me- chanical effects. The Railroad Junction,” by Cotton, Kembls, Arlington, sod Surridge, and “Waiting for o Weut Side Stage” by Bobby New- comb, will undoubtedly give eatisfaction. ACADENY OF MUSIC. A weolk from Mondsy Miss Ettie Henderson, from Providence, R. L, will open at the Academy in her new drame, entitled ** Little Sunshine,” Written for her by Bartley Campbell. . PROF. PEPPER.

DRAMATIC NOTES. - The Woman's Crusade is on the boards at Wood's Musenm, York, underthe title of *Rum; or the Crusade of Temperance.” 1. B.

A correspondent of Once a Teek complains of the abominable beg‘fnr‘s'yamm of attendants at London theatres.

A The New York Tribune iakes occasion to To- mark: A painting, bf Mr. Matt Morgan, called the * Last Moments of Senator Sumer, will, we are told, be exhibited at the Colosseum to-night. It is to be hoved that the public will void this coaree and mercenery dealing with & -golemn and awful subject.

I must confess that an Almee is now one of the bitter disillusions of my life.” Miss Toilson will_pley in Washington in May and Edwin Booth will act in Baltimore during the sams period. During these engagements excursion érains will run between the two cities, 25 Aigs Neilson does not sctin Baltimore this season, and Mr. Booth cannot be induced to play in Washington. At the ballet in Berlin, whore the opers is un- der s cloud sinco Lucea's departure, the Prince of Wales and his newly-merried brother left the royalbox, and “went below to & emall box, whence they could better sce and mora con- ecientionsly praise™ the dancers. Mr. Tom Teylor's latest play ia entitied ady Clancarty.” it was produced at the London Olympic Theatro on March 9. Some folks think that when Tom Tavlor was eelected to be the new editor of Punch, a good dramatist was spoiled. Yiios _The Pall-Mall Gazelte seys: “ A drama, which sins inordinately against theunities of time, place and action, hos besa produced hero at the Beau- marchais Theatre, its titlo beiog ‘The Renegade Samuel. This wonderful performance extends over eighteen centuries, for when the curtain rises the epoch represonted on the stage is an- tenor to the taking of Jerusalem.” Buffalo hasw favorite acii v, Miss Laura Dom, who possesses a versatilicy of talnt.

Apropos to her benefit, which eho is to have shortly at the Baf- falo Academy, she hus exbibited & crayon por- trait of herselt drawn by horself, which is de- scribed by the local press an @ faultless likeness 2nd of excellent workmanship. Buffalo ought togive s lady of go_many artistic resources a handsome benefit, indeed. Miss Ada Gray has purchased the right to play “Charity.” W. 8. Gilbert's latest production, with which she commenced her second engage- ment at Robingon's Opers House fast week. 1 house was crowded, and Miss Gray made & mark- od success of her star character, Ruth Tudgett, boing called before the curtain several times and wildly applaunded. ** Charity” is a piece of con- siderable merit, its only fault being in dramatic conatruction. It is healthy in tone, bright in dislogue, full of - strong dramatic situations, and destined to s Issting populsrity. Miss Gray has done well to choose the role of Ruth Tudgell, for in her hands it is made a etriking and forcible personation, It is probable that the picce will bo played in Chicago during tho pres- ont genson. The latest excitement in Berlin_is an exhibi- tion of drilled fleas. The oxhibition takes place on a largo sheet of white paper fastened upon 2n ordinary table, to which all the spectators approach in turn, 80 8s to be able to witness in 1 details the extraordinary maoeuvres of theso little but marvelously powerfn) and gifted ras- cals. Hereyou sec oue of the muecular fleas rolling a small barrel along with its feet, a8 the men do in the circus; there you tco a slim, voluptuously built madam of the species walk- ing aloug in crinoline and carrying her parasol with all tiie affoctation of a city miss ; atanother place a well trained felloss performs on the fiy- ing trapeze—without any danger to his neck, hovwerver, sinco the biggest fall would not break that ; while below the trapeze, on the paper, a host of little ones are turning somersaults at a fearful rato. The larzest specimens of the col- Iectiou have been trained to draw wagans, drays, carrisges, ofc. To fix the barness properly on them, the flea-tamer places his papils on a pieco of paper covered with mucilage, where they have to stick. He taep, by the aid of a watchmaker's loog;, arranges a strong gold thread around their bodies, and attaches it to the wagon or carriage. The ladies of Berlin attend the exbibitionin large numbers, and scem to take an extraordi- pary delight in the performances of the littlo creatures, who are regularly fed every morving from the arm of the grent flea-tamer, ke being quite ready to shed huy last drop of blood for his darling litile pets. =¥ >0 MUSIC. The great musical event of the present week will be the performance of * Masaniello,” Auber's masterpiece, by the Liederkranz So- ciety, under the direction of its conductor, Hans Balatka, at MoVicker's Theatre, commencing to- morrow evening and continuing all the week, except on Fridsy. Tho rehearsals during the past two weeks promiso that this opers, which is so seldom Leard, will be given in a manner which will richly repay those who attend. TUn- usual attention hes also been paid to the cos- tumea and properties, and Afr. AcVicker has prepared new scenery for each act, 8o that in the matter of its mountingno fault will be found, The presoutstion of 80 grent & work 85 this, roquiring not only long and srduous study but great expense by an amatenr society, deserves to be richlyrewarded, and the prospects are vory flattering thatsuch will bethe case. ‘What these performances will be may be best judged from the fact that the Liederkranz is de- termined to outdo the old performances of ** Der Freischuetz,” *Stfadella,” and *‘The Marriage of Figaro™ by the Concordia sud Germanis So- cioties & few years sgo. The cast will be aa fol- lows: A QUARTETIE OF CONCERTS IN ONE DAY. The Director of the Cbicago Musical College, Mr. Florenco .Ziegfeld, has set apart Friday, April 24, 88 3 gala-day for the college.

Pratt, the pianist, will be glad o know that he has made Jefinite arrapgements to bring out the sym- phony which he wrote while pursuing his studies in Beriin, on the 17th of April, at McCormick's Hall. One movement of the work, the andante, was produced in Terlin, and as Mr, Carl Wolf- sohn, tho eminent musicien, was at that time in Berlin and heard the performance, bis judgment concerning it will be of value, 3r. Wollsohu, in a note to us, eays: *‘I, for one, confess that T am vely glsd Mr. Pratt will Bave the opportupity toproduce his work in his nativocity. I wasin Berlin, a few years ago, when the ©Stern'sche Kspelle” plaved one movement, the andante, and certainly derived a eat deal of pleasure from it, and obzerved that ga ‘people in genaral welcomed the young com- 's crestion with hearty spplause. Icer- tainly thought it very meritorious work, and am glad we Liave the chance to hear the whole of it.” " In addition toiho symphony the programme will also embrace vther numbers for fustruments and voices, apiong them s quintetie fiom Wag- ner's - Meistersanger,” which has usver been given bere.

Concerning the manner in which it waa put apon the stage, the Herald soys: Everytbing that iboral menogement and immense operatic resources could efect was brought to bear.on the production of this work last night The chorus was nearly eighty strongund the archeatra sixty, with twelve ndditional trumpeters on tho stage, The' long and severe rehearsals to which that sdmirablo chet @orchestre, Signor Emmanuel Muzlo, subjected bis forces, produccd an effort scarcely creditle—asmooth, symmotrical performauce of such a_ stupendous work on the irst night. The mise en scene was entirely new, and_quite in keeping with the spirit of the sub- Ject. Nothing has ever been presented ot suy of our ‘dramatic houses to surpass in eplendor and_prilliancy the dresses, armors, znd other properties incldental to the picco, Tt was placed on the stage in such s lavieh matner that the audience, in an outburet of appre~ ciativo entbusiasm, called Mr, Strakosch before ‘he curtain, und would ot be contented untd the princi- pal ertiits unenrthed the blushing jmpresario from some hiding-place snd brought him forverd, Concerningtho performance, we give the fol- lowing extracts from a carefully-written criticism in the Tridung : If s crowded and_enthusiastic house proved any- thing, we might eafely say that the first ‘introduction of one of Wagner's operss last night to an American sudiénce was & grest trfumph for the new school of musiclans. The briliiant ssscmblage, flling every seat and doorway, lstened with unmistakable in terest from holf-past 7 HIl balf-past 11, called out the principal -nrtists sgain .and after every act, called ont Signor Muzio and Mr, Stra- kosch, spplauded vigorously in the few places whero applause could be permitied, and showed a docided inclination to break ‘into important ecencs with un- timely hand-clapping, which the severer Aisciples of Wagner resolutely supjressed. But fink. nights aro ale=ya deceptive, There is a large body of Wagnerites in New York, and of course they were present in force, and greatly cxcited by a reprezentation far more etfecs tive, more careful, and_more thoroughly ariistic than the most sanguipe bhad sentured to hope for. They sow in Madume Nilsson the ideal Elaa, in Signor Cam- pavini {ho jdeal Lohencrin, aud, ns ono well eet necne succeeded onothier, they scemed ready to : Strakosch the idesl mansger. How much of the hearty demonstration came from tucse enthusiaste, whohave studicd Wegner's musfc for years, and how much from habitues of the Acadeniy, to whom such on opera must have been 2 new revelation, we walt awhile to judge. This much, however, 18 cer- tain, that * Lohengrin " waa recelved with delight by 2 vast majority of the audicnce, and with gratification —not unmiixed periaps with, 3 puzzled sort of curiosity by neariy all the rest. . . . Wagner himself could Dot Liave wisled for s more beautiful and_ spiritual Eisa than Madome Ntlsson, or a more picturesque ana romantic Lohenqrin than Campanini. Both these fine artists scemed to hove cought the true spirit of the Wagnerian drama, and heir personations were inex- pressibly fouclung and noble. The Ortrud (Miss Cary), the Frederick (Sig. del Puentc) and the King (8ig. Nanuetti), weroall excellent. _The new acemery waa handsome, The dresses wers magmficent. The numerous pageants and stage illusions were well ar- ranged. Care and taste were evident on evers hand. Max Strakosch has engaged Alme. Pauline Lucca for a series of thirty-gix representations, many of which will bo given at the Academy. Mms, Lucea's first appearance under the new regime will be made iu ** La Favorita,"on April 1, Signor Campanini personating Fernando. The New York Etening Post says: * The first season of Lnglish opera with Aiss Kellogg asthe leading prima donna has proved 80 very success- ful that1t is more then probable that our repre- sentativo American vocalist will continue to tread tho same path for some years to come. The present season will be continued up to the middle of May.” The Boston Adcertiscr say ** Miss Kellogg bas realized more than twica as much as she ever did in & single season before, from her operatic engagements during the past winter. Her sbaro of the receipts the firat wock after her engagement in Boston was 83,500, or almost 88 mach as Nilsson has averaged.” At the German Opera in New York last Friday night, Madame Lichtmsy was cast to sing in ““The Marriage of Figaro,” but sent an excuse. The condutor (Mr. Carlberg) made o statement of the case to the aundience, and created con- siderable amusement by reading a certificate from Dr. Willard Parker, to the effect that he had visited the lady, and found ber able (o sing. _ Concerning next scason, the New York Even- ing Post says : A3 regards the senson of 18743, it is too early to' predict with much accuracy. There lsno donbt that Max Strakosch will be at the belm ogain, ead i i3 probable that seversl of the artists who helped to make the present scason 5o agrecable will be with him. 8Slould “Lohengrin® be reccived with continued favor, Mr. Strakoech will produce next eason some other’ Wagnerian work, of a later period—not the “Tannbauser,” which, thanks to our German friends, 1a Do novelty Here, but some opera knownas vet only to Munich, where Wagner's genius is best appreciated, NEW MUstC.

Dudloy Buck's now *“Andaunte and Scherzo™ was recently performed by the Decthoven Quintette Club of Boston. The Gazelle of that city says : 1t is very fresh and interesting work, full of pleas- ing effecte, fine contrasts, and fanciful combinstions, and reflecta bigh credit upon the akill and taste of its talented composer, It is a thoroughly musicianly ef- fort, and displays the culture and the study of its ‘writer in an admirable light, The number was charme- ingly interpreted, axd was warmly received. .

Just now the proposition to burn the dead. in- stead of burying them, hes come due, and 18 the subject of newspaper fetters and_ed:torial com- ments, Five years ago it drifted oitt of sigt, only to returs in its appointed season. It will pass over in a month, a3 it did before, and will not b heard again for another lustrum. The time has not yet come when this subject seriousiy demands attention. The earth has yet room for her desd, sud on the prairies of the West, where oven s grave bresks tho flat monotony of tho landscape, geuerations yet unborn may sleep without elbowing ope another. Even in Chica- o, popuious as it is, there is spaca for patrician and proletariat under the marbles of Rosebill and the wooden slabs of the Cuunty-Farm. Be- sides, Abraham was buried in the cave he bonght of Ephron ; Moses was buried in the land of Moab ; and, therefore, there is a beligf that dead people should be buried stil. The precedents are sil that way, Yot, apart from this practical question of a lack of room, there are sentimental rensons why the,present system of interment should bechang- ed.” Weall like to respect public opinion, and honor the dead, whom we loved, or feigued to Iove. Ono nation does this by eating the depart~ ed, and thus kufiging them in the family; anoth- er by hanging them up where the birds of the air_may freeiy feed upon them. We do it by piling marble or grapite above them; by strew- ing their graves with roses and lilies, when thoy are mot too expensive; and by sentimental journers to the swelling grave-mounds over which the citizens of Eake View make such an ado. But the feelings which send us on thote pilgrimages are only partially satistied b the sight of tombstore or verdant tarf. It is Fiora's face wo want to sce, and not the greer soil that hides it. We want to retraca the linecments of tho dend, not to stare upon the earth that covera them. That emotion, too, is a very strong one which sends us to a Chicago graveyard in winter or | early spring. Do we know whether we cry from cold or eorrow; whether our eyes burn from suppressed tears or the lake-wind ? Rachael WINES AND BRANDIES.
