Se;reral Important Sales, but " Little General Activity. Building Tmprovements in the Burnt Distriet and Elsewhere. Potter Palmer Getting Up a Model Restaurant. Condition of the Real Estate Loan i Market. Tho report of salea which wo have to make (bia weck ehows that some large and important transters Lave taken place. Although beyond thig, the market remaing generaliy inactive, and dealors, when askod what they bave done, rec- ommend fo the reporter an excureion to tho Stygisu shades, it is evident thut investments in seal estate are receiving more favorable con- gideration than for u Jong time past. Inquiries from purchasers ot howe aud abroad are more frequent, and week by week traveactions are ro- ported which khow that heavy buyers aro ou tho ground. . Such bavo been the sales of tho Dore Block, tho icndall Block, the Hawloy Block, and sever- al others. The money-market is filled to replo- tion with funds sceking employmens at the East al 2@3 por cout on call. aud bere at 3 per cent. Many other avenues of investment aro closed. Loesl sccarities, however good, can absorb bat 2 fraction of tho mouey olfering ; railroad bonds and stocks, for years favorite eccuritics, have 1iad their day, and are now unpopular; Uuited States bonds are choico enough, but their rato of interest is o0 low, and the premium o hish, that mea who can taxe care of themsclves prefer to put their money into something wore romu- nerative. * On the other hand, real estate in sure, and, at present prices, chiean. S0 farus the laws that govern the movement of real estats prices may Le judged from previous exaltations aud de- pressions, i¢ wonld be expected that real estate Liad hardly reachod the bottom in its present de- Bat an unusual elcinent most enter nto tlis calculation. The panie of Just fatl, and the Sre, have had thoir inducuce. They hava ac- celerated the declive of prices; they have nct ouly accelerated but condensed it. Capitalists see that whetler the bottoia has been fally struck oF not, prices havo been burrieddown much mote rapidly than iu previous seasons of depression. 1 anded proverty they sco o be certainly & cheap aud sate wvestment. and they are evidontly act- ing ou that determination. A full recovery of 1tle market cauuot be expecied for somo fime. tezl estate 15 an invesiment, aud the wajority of tr: merchauts, aud others, who are tho customers of tho real eniate dealers, will have lit:le to wvest until after a prosperous season of Duwiness, This there is every reasou t0 expect this full.

About tho timo of the separate colonization of the New Zealand group in the South Pacific, now gomo thir*v ¢ 1*2 npo, 8n 2ssociauion of specu- Jators, - ‘ves ALAND COMPANT, _ .irchase of large tracts of land ....umost of the turee principal . aen containing the bulk of the nalive population. The ostensible dosign of this part- nership was, of course, the opening of & region rich in mineral and vegetable resources to tho commerco of tho world, coupled with tho im- provement and prospective civilization of its in- babitants. The real dosign was, Do less of courye, to satisfy the greed of tho stockholders, sud to put mouey in their purses, houcstly, if possible,—but, at auy rate, to put tho’ money there. . Tor about twelve years the colonization of the country was conducted under the auspices of theso traders, and so prejudicial to general prosperity was their management that Govern- ment felt it to be an imperative duty to exert its interterence. Afiera somewhat protracted cou- test, the Compauy was induced to resign its claims—all of which, indeed, had npver been acknowledged or coufirmed by the Government —on receiving quite a considerablo sum of money as compensation for theiroutlay. Batthe unscrupulous way iu which this organization, and others acting throughor underit, Lad repeatedly tuken possession of 1aads to wich the natives conceived themselves to be justly entitled (to say nothing of other wrongful acts), had 50 ox- asperated the Intter that a series of TERILOUS AND SANQUINARY CONFLICTS with their warlike tribes was tho 1nevitubie con- sequence. Afier coutinusl outbreaks on the pare of tho Maioris, which cxtended ovor s period of nearly four yoars, tho naiives bogau to Ccomprebeud the new position of affairs, to lay uside therr bostility, and to compets with tho white colouists in iudustey of overy kind, as well as 1 civilization genorally. With the excepuoun of a local disturvauce, which srosewbont thirtcen yeurs siuce, and which was_soon quicted, peace 2ad prosperity have bappily conunued to reign turoughout the land. 1t was 10 the Jast year of the Maiori war, a8 it waw called, uamely, 1w 1317, that Jack Jocelyn turued up in New Zealand. Juck bad beew wiat 15 termed i roliicking boy from bis very youth. An unwavageavle voubgster ui homs, 3 mis- clievous boy nc _school, aud & sad frimre at tho Uuviversity,—which be lelt in unspeakable dis- gust about the period of tie Litle Go,—he turued whateverof iudasinal talent he possessed entirely 10 agriculture of tho most unprontable sort, for Juck SOWED XOTHING HUT WILD OATS. In vaiu bhad waternal atlection and solicitude striven, and pstorual suthority been exerted, to reduce Master Juck to order ; aud so it was that, ou one fius moraing afier tue discovery of & cronning escapade, Jack found hiwself &n in- voluntary exile from the ancestral roof, with noching in Lis band but a letter which the old butlerLad been durceted o give bim s he passed out. * Huwph!” suia Juck, recoguizing the bandwritig of the superscription, * more good sdvice, 1 suppose. 1wonder wiat L was ever msde for?” And then he stwiled it into his po:ket. A kind word of parting was exchanged wizh Whiting, who, **somehow,” as he declared, “Joved the young scspegrace after all,” and & wunderer set Torthi ou s journey of which be lit- tle recked the coutse or the end. Skirting the village,—for Lo was in no mood for goserp just now,—Jack soon gained the lughway. To esy that his mmd was quite at euxo wonld not be exactly the truth; bus 10 sav that bo was overwholwed with remorse, orbeart- Lioheu at tue thought of leaving home, would be equaily distant from the golden line. ' There niglit, perbups, bave been o scone if Polly Pink- apple, or Duruthy Draggletail, or other of lus ruatic sweotbiear:s, had beon encountered 1o tue way ; but, a8 the tirst wan busily engaged at taat v mowent in the dairy, the sccoud in the laundry, and the other gooduess ouly knows iere, our youug; irieud's teolings were spared. Not the least of Jaca™s failiugy was & sharp and ready appetite, sud, as tlus was now whetted by the exercise of walking, it was time to go 19t0 a Committee of Surpiy. An ale-bouss sign soou caught his &ccustomed cye, avd somo bread aud clieéxe, acvompaniod by 3 bountirul tausard of nut-brown brew, wade bim a bearty meal. Tius sated, he very coully opened bLis letter, from which: he 1emoved tie inclosures, and then read an sppropriate bomily on lus past career, sup- plemented by earnest appeals and promises of forgiveuess from bis wmother if he would but ameud. A tear was hauging in Lis eyo when ho trausferred a golden locket, contaiuing hus moth- er's Lair, to bus breasi-pockot; but au exclama- tion of surpnse escaped bLim wher ho openod & draft on bus father's Loudon bauker for A HUNDRED POUNDS. 8o, then, I am to go to Loudon,” said Jack, and thither be went by tue first conveyance. Non, Juck knew quite as much of London as _most young men of his tastes, aud, when he had cashed hus draft, the questiou v naturaily oc- cucred to bim, **Wiere on caria shali I go next?” And, then becoming unconsciously ate tubetic, Le added, * By Jove, L'l go to sea!” As luck would bave i, Jack’s eye fell upou the ‘marine columus of 8 pewspaper, and there he loarned that the good ship Frolic was lving at T'ortsmouty, ready fitted for thoe Pacific, and Tanting a band or two to complete ber crew. *That's my sort,” eaid he. *Pacifics on the other side of the worid. Wonder if I wouldu't do bettar with my toes turned upsido down? Aud Frotic's agood name. Here goes ! ASD BE WENT. Of all good schools for eccentric and disorder- Iy folk, there is notiung -like the discipline of & well-ordered ship. And this truth found hair- brained Jac Jocelyn ere many moons had sil- vered the tapering pars of the Frolic. Suflice it to say that, in due time, he became a capital snilor aud tho jolliest of the crew. After a couple of years' guod service, Jack entered the grade of petty oiicers, and at length earned the boatswain's whustle. Now, the boatswain, in addition to his strictly nautical duties, hus much to do, in bis way, 8ith the morals of the crew ; 8o says Jack, ** I'll bave my fellows patterus'of moraiity, by tho L—d " A very good erew was the Frolic's thenceforth. By and by Jack’s term of servico bad expired, and, instead of guing home to be paid off, be obtained a special discharge at Adelaide. The Mlaiori war Lad now reached its third yeur, and Jack, “ for the fun of the thing,” took passage in the firet ship to Aucklaud, tl:at ho might ** HAVE A NAND IN." The naval brigade was then: much in request, aud, as this arm best suited Jocelyn, Le aided it as & volunteer without formally re-oatering the servico. Of the Maiori chiefs, Heki was the most pow- erful and the most unrelouting. His pah, or fortification, was tho Redan of tho na- tive warriors, and tho point of con- centration for the attacking forcos, who. notwithstanding repeated discouragoments, 1enowed their asssuils again and, again al its palizades, with the most_unting perseveranco. Hero Jack was wounded in a Lard day's fight, and Was taken prisoner in tho eveving, as ho stll lay on tho ground under cover of & huge, pros- trate Kauri pine-treo, rear which he hud fallon, and which had concealed bim from lus comrades. s voice would have **prated of his where- abouts.” if the loss of " blood bad not so utter- Iy weakened him;: 80 ho yieided bimself si- lently and uuresistiogly to his captors, lttle dreaming how important a part ho, was yet 1o talo in tho sffairs’ of the lsud. As he was being cartied to the Tear,—with what intentions who can doubt?—the golden locket his mothor had sent him at parting—iwelf of curious workmanship—protruded by chance from bhis clothiog. Hoero, then, was AN AMNULET OR CHARM, which begat in the minds of these highly-super- stitions peoplo the utmost respect andreverence. The possossor of 5o mvsterious &n orbament, armed, no doubt, with some powerful spell, was worthy of being visited in_ his wickucss by the most illustrious of the native families. Among these wondering aud sympathizing visitante cama ono day no less a porsonage than Hala, the danglter of tho vaiant Heki himeelf, and, in “that short iuterview, the littlo god whose mother drives & dove-led chariot wanstixed tho hearts of Jack Jocelyn and the dasky Prmeess. At tho tirst knowledge of their attachment, Heki's rage knowno bounds, aud Ins hostility to the countrymen of his prisoner was far greater than ever, while nothing but the ownorship of Lhe charm saved tho prisoner from immediate exocution. Haky, bawaver, luved his danguter desrly, spd | she knew how to use his alfection to help the i3~ { clination of her heart. Jack now became Ambassador and High Plen- ipotentiary without the ssa.tion of & diploms,?) and peace was soon brought about. THE MARRIAGE PROVED HATPY and fruitfal, and Jack was dolighted to smoke bis_pipe by his wife's sido, under his own vine and fig-treo. The reconciliation with Lis paronts was completo: and, though ho had made up his mind to keep the world betweon them, he gave them continued proofs of_his thorough reforma- tion,—more precione to his mother than a thou- sand locketa. In time ho obtainod the office of Justico of the Péaco. *This,” snid he, **is 88 good as boing boatswain.

Tho forcign markets exhibit a little changn, and there is little nows from tho farming sections of the United States to sway prices up or down.

Dusing tho past few days a further material whrink- age in volnes of Texss and thin nstive stock has boen snffered, aud tue severe losses of last weck would have boon duplicatod. 1t is useless to advise farmers to keep back their objcction- able stock.
