- REAL ESTATE. Yery Few Transactions Reported Daring the Week, Holders of Real Property, However, Remain Firm as to Price. Operations of the Union Pa- cific Land Department. Building in Chicago and Philadelphia-- Slight Decline in Rents. The real-estate market for the past week Las beex decidedly quiet. Holders are unwilling to neeept any figures that buvers ean be induced to offer, and henoe trausactions are moainly con- fined to exchanges, where owners on each sido can see, or think they see, s mutual advantsge in trading one or scveral pieces of property for another. Parties who bave the means to assume incnmbrances can make very advantageous terms, a8 the tendency among owners to get from under the loads they have beba 80 long carrying is very earnest and commendable. During the summer & large smount of realty Las passed into stronger hands by just such transfers, relieving former osners, and thus pelping on the return of better times. Men hopalessly in_debt cannok be expected to take an active part in any Dew and progressive enterprises, That the property of the city is now mainly held by partics sble to own it is proved by the business of tho mar- Let, though there are scarcely enongh of real saléa to fix astandard of prices. That people generally prefer to pay their interest and hold their property is also evident that comparatively 80 few sales are now made under mortgage and, desds of tzust. Afost ot those now pending are old stagers ; comparatively few new oues show themselves in the advertising ehests. : TRE LOAN MARKET, The Joan market has been rather doll during the woek. Agents of large moneyed inetitutions and Eastern capitalistsa bave abundant mesns, and would welcome mapy more customers with much larger offeriogs than they present. : TNION PACIPIC BAILWAT. President Dillon of the Union Pacific Railway has recently issued a circular in reference to the operations of the Land Depsrcment and other mattera connected with that road. The opera- tivns of the Land Department from July 29, 1869, to Aug. 51, 1875, were as follows : The proceeds from land sales have been ap- plied as follows : ¢ Original amonntof land grant bonds Amount cancelled by Trustees by sale of 1and, interest on fand notes, etc. a, Present amount of bands outstanding Land notes oo hand. The results of the sale of 1,144 863 acres of land are indicated in the purchase and cancellation, by the Trustees, of $2,800,000 Iand-grant bonds, and 82,917,830 land notes on hand, mak- ing a total of £5,717,820. Someides of the value of the remaining 11,033.137 acres of land sull belonging to the Company may ke obtained from these figures. g ¥ There has recenily been discoverod on tho 1ands belonging to the Union Pzcife Railroad Compeny, near Aspon, in Wyomiog Tarricors, coa! dppusit of extraordivary character. .

Blodgett 1ton, chemist, of Philadelphis, #nd the quan- tity of ash proved to be only 13 per cent., No- where else in the world has coal been found of like guantity or of equal parity. ¥ In sobmitting this statement of facts to the bond and stock holders the Preaident feels that ample justification is furnished for the policy of 9er oent goarterly dividends on the steck. Tha- Presdent further feels that the faots efford sbundant reasons for the belief which he enter- taine that, with the development of the vast re- squrces of the Company ihejfuture growth of the property will be equal to that of the past, and the recent tour of tnspection of the Compzny’s- road and property, from which héhas just Te- turped, confirms him in this opinioa. - 2 BUILDING IX CHIOAGO. 5otk ‘The Real Estate Journal makes tha following COMparisons 1 Tle report for 1874 of the Building Inspector in Philadelphia shows 4,3:0 dwellings, 139. stores. and ‘dwellings combined, 48 stores, and 553 other buildings, such a3 churches, schools, ics, offices, shops, #ic,, erected in that year, Of the £487 stores and dwellings, only 1681 &re about §wo storics 1n height.

Ohambers’ Journal: Wanted, by » young married Lidy, a companion to reside with her during her husband’s absence in India, A liberal salary will be given, with every home comfort 10 any one sutable. Apply, personally, if ‘possible, at No, 240 Upper Barkely strect. W. The foregoing adverticement was dispatched by me after considerable cogitation, and I wait~ ed the result of it with some snxiety. My husband, Maj. Conyers, had been suddenly ordered to India ; and, having no sister, or any available cousin whom I could invite to stay with me during his absence, 1 thoughta com- panion was the best thing with which I could provide myself ; accordingly, I indited my small paragraph, which Ihad the satisfaction of seeing placed in & very conspicuous part of the paper on the morning after Isent it. Ilived in Lon- don, consequently felt certsin that the per- sonal interview would be essily managed, but I had committed ad error in not naming & particnlar hour, a8, from 11 in the forenoon until quite late in the day, the applications for a personal interview with my unfortunate self noverceased. The first arrival was a very hand- somely-dressed lady of sbout 50 who came, avi- dently, quite prepared to enter upon her duties st once, and quite overpowerad me with a series of questions and statements, withont giving me the faintest chatice of making any inquiries my- self. Sbo bad lived with Lady This, and tho Honorable Mrs. That, and one and all had treat- ed her like a sister—she felt certain I should do the same—indead, she quite knew me already. Home comforts were exactly what she cared for; 88 Lo salary, it was no object to her—a hundred s year was all she asked, th :}oldiug had said she was iver?fi%fmm wo. ‘-1 8m afraid,” { put in at this junctare, * that even oue hu is beyond what I intend to give, and I live 0 quietiy—"" **We won't quargel about ealary,” interrupted my would-be companion ; *‘&nd as to quietness, 1018 just what T want,™ % A peal at the door-bell emboldened me to still greater detesmination, 8o I seplied very xeso- latels for me: * I do not think we should suit; I am sarry you have had the troubls of com- fogt “8o am L" she re'ulm;fl drylg.;"“hnt one ough. pot to trust to advertisements. ' Hardly noticing my **good marning,” she got up aud tlounced wn-8tairs, audanfi in great wrath at her rejection. " : s Another Jady to seo you, ma'sm, snnounced my parlor-maid. i ‘A very quiet, swest-looking little porson came forward, and at the first glance I fsucied I had found & suitable companion. But alas! her story was a. sad one, and thers Wers. Yeasons which rendered it impossible for me to avail my- golf of her socicty. She was married. Her hasband was_a hopeless invalid, and they were very.poor. She had not been educated highly enough to be a governess, and, when ehe . aaw my advertisement, she fancied, if the salary was good. she might.bs my companion by dey, and reiurn st night to her own home, which was ot mo great disiance from my house, She looked 80 thin and o ill that ] was simost tempted to make Bome arrsngemont with her; but, as I imtended leaving town occasionally, second thoughts showed me it was out of the question. Desides, I could not have borne to thivk that while she was with me, sho wquld al-; ways be in'an agony to be with her huel and— which, bad I engaged her, would most naturally bave followed. gI told her so a8 kindly as posei- blo, and, after making her tako & glass of wine and some cake—whicl: Intter I saw hor furtively convey to her pocket for the sick hzzband. L supposed,—she gave me her ditection, aod took hor departure. § afterwards went to gee her, and hor tale was saaly verified. But to proceed. My next visitor was & most port damsel, with- ont any pretensions to being a lady, Who in- formed we that her pa was dead, and, as thera were S0 many of them homo, her ma waoted her 1o do for herself. I had not much difficulty in dismissing her. And of the legions that fol- lowed, I cannot attempt a detailed description. By the afternoon I was thoroughly exhansted, and had made up my mind to see nomore, when, just as it was getting dusk, my ssrvant came up 1o the drawing-room and informed me that such a npice looking young lady- was in the dining- room ; quite thie picest that had been yet. o Ask her to come up-stairs, thon, Eillis; but do not admit any one else,” I replied; and the next minute the drawing-room door wes thrown open by Ellis, and * Miss Burke ” announced. “She was dressed in mourning, and, éven ia the dim light, was, I could see, 8 pale-faced, rather handsoms girl, of apparently four and twenty. Her hetght’ was ovor tbe sverage, but soomed greater from her oxtreme thinness, which struck me &s almost startling. ** Goodeveniog,” shesaid in a low and rather pleasant voice. ** 1 am afraid 1 am very late; it wad sokind of you to seo me.” 1t is late,” Iaasented, *bat that doos not matter.” 2 “Thank you,” responded my visitor ; '*1 eame about your adyertisoment—I saw you waated & compabion, and I am anxious to get a situation of luntfiud." P ¢ hive had so many lpg}icahanu to-day,” I answered for want of something better to say. “Ah, I can quite fancy it," returned Miss Burke. *1 fear [ am too late.” “Xo,” I replied; *I have scen no onayet to suit me.” «It you would only try me, I should do my utmost to plea=e you,” she said, a:most plead~ ingly. *I have aiready been a companion, and 1 can give you references which may induce yon to think of me"; and Mies Burke opened s small black velvet bag, which until then I had not perceived, and placed in my hands a mono- .| srammed and coroneted epistle, addressed to herself, purporting to come {rom a Lady Monta- cute, whose companion she had been for two vears, and who expressed berself in the warm- est terms, assuring Miss Burke, whenever sho returned from the Continent, whither she was just then going, thot it would give her the great- ‘st pleasuro to answer anyinquiries in her favor; 1o the meantime, Lady Moutncute suthorized her to make what nse &bo chose of the letter now sent, ending by saying she was certain wherever ehe wont Miss Burke must be a favorite 4 mg‘ an acquisition. ‘ben foilowed a letter from & Rey. Mr. Whits, from a romotoe Rectory in Cumbarland. stating that be had known Mise Emily Burke from her childbood, and couid certify that she” was not only desirable in all respects, but a most amiable and talented young lady, whose family were both well known snd highly respected. Nothing could be more satistactory; and, after reading the two missives carefallv by the light of the fire, I raised my eyes toward 1ay visitor, whom I foaod regarding me in the most eager manner fmaginablo. **Thoy are most kind lotters,” I eaid; ‘‘and, 23 far as references go, I am sure I could ngt do berter. Your duties would be vary hfiw—lb is really only for the sake of companionsbhip that I réquire aay one, as I do everything for myaelf, but I have been very lonesome since my hus- band went away.” +Jcan imagmmeit,” responded Miss Burke sympathizingly. “Ishoulddo my utmost to cheer you.” «“Yon are very kind to savso;” I answer- ed. * Should we agree a8 to terms, when could you come” »To-morrow. if you will permit me,” replied Miss Burke. *I am in lodgngs, and the ex- pense of them i 80 great that 1 sbould bé only too glad to give them up—I am very poor,” she zdded in a low tone. 1 was orry for the poorgirl ; and feeling I had ‘been 88 prudent as possiblo in perusing her ref- erences, and trosting a good deal to her air of quiet respectability, I prococded to state my terms, which were eagerly accepted. Aftera lu- tle conversation all wag settled, and my compan- jon promized to make her appesrance before lun- cheon on the following day. For the rest of that evening 1 was unusually meditative; I was pleased, and yot not pleased. Sho was not alto- ether my besu-ideal of & companton. Although ads-like, and with undeniable references, there was a certain awkwardness in her manner. Her room was to be on the eame floor with my own: and on the following morning I went in, » short time before she arrived, to see that every- thing was ready for her. It was October, sud the weather was chilly, 8o I desired that she ghould have a fire, a8 I fancied coming from wretched lodgiogs it might be & sort of welcome to ber. At 1 o'clock sbe arrived, bringing with ber a small black box as her sola luggage, which, Ellis and the hpuse-maid, between them, carried directly to-hor room, whither she followed them slmost immediately, to take off her things. I accompanied her, and remasined for a few min- utes, telling her to join me in the drawing-room 25 soon a8 she could, lunch being ready. She presently appeared to be very much al- tered by the removal of her bonnet. She wore her bair in crop, & fashion I detested ; .and Lier figure witizout ber cloak was only redeemed from awkwardness by tho well-mado black dress, which had evidently been the work of & firat-rate modiste. Bhe woreno ornaments, except s amall gola ring on the little finger of hor left band, which I noticed was particularly large. I ceased to criticise her after we had been together for a little. She was 60 pleasant, 80 _chatty, and yet 8o quiet withal, thal ere evening came I had begun to congratulate myself on my own per- spicacity in having engaged her, and was fully prepared to indorse Lady Montacute's opinion, that she was sure to be not only a favorite but an acquisition. A fortnight slipped away, and in my weekly budget to my husband 1 gave most charming ac- qounts of my companion, which our_everyday intercourse seemed fully to confirm. But about the third week a something I could not explain made me take a dialike to her. 1 had not been very woll, and her kindness bad been unremit- ting ; consequently, I felt almost angry with myself for indulging in & fesling whica I conld not help acknowledging was both unreasonabie and childish. Hut.it gained ground in spits of myself ; and ane night, as I wes standing by the looking-glass in my bedroom, which was in the shadow, I caught sight of Miss Burke, who was leaning on the mantelpiece, in the fall light of the gas, which was burning on either gide of it, regarding me with a stealthy and searching glance which I instantly observed, but had sufficient sense to take no motice of. The expression in hér large black eyes haunted me for days, and caused me to eay good night to her on the landing, and, in addition, to lock my dogr, & precaution I had never befors thought of taking. iR . One night shortly afterwards I awoke- fancy- ing 1 heard a movement outside my door. iy room waa perfectly dark, and was convinced some noise bad suddenly awakened me. I listened intently, almost too ternfied to breatne, untit Iheard most distinctly the handle of my door cautiously turned. ~ Ap almost death-like harror seized me, and for an instant I was absolutely . rigid with terror; but the epell was broken another sudible effort to open the door, and the hall clock striking three, which made me epring up in bed, seize the matches, and, with trembling fingers, attempt - two or three times to strike a light. Avlast I was su , and the welcome blaze of the gas which I lit gave me courage to call out boldly: “Who is there?” But no answer came, 1 pulled my bell vigoronsly, and in & few minntes I heard steps approaching, and Ellig' welcome voice asked if I was ill. ' No, Ellis, not ill, " Ieaid, *“but terrified, ™ a8 I unlocked the door and admitted her. *Some one tried-my door not five mjnutes sgo.” “ Tried vour door, ma'am? surely not!” ojaculated Ellis.

Bat what could she want at your door 7' “t:rhat I do not know; but we may find out.” By dint of a bisnket off my bed, aud sundrv shawls, Ellis was made comfortabla for the rest of the night on the sofa, and I returned to bed, not to sleep, for I was thoronghly upset, but to wonder how I was ever to get through the ten moothe that still remained of my husband’s ab- sence. Tired and unnerved, I met Miss Burke at breakfast, aod we spent our morning in a very silent fashion. I wrote to my husband whilst she walked restlessly about the drawing- room, constantly asking me how I was, an ioquiry for which I did not feel so grateful as I might have done under other circumstances. Lupch came, and afterwards Miss Burke, who was usually most ynwilling to go out, asked mé it I conld spare her for the afterncon, as she wantod to goandsess sick friend. « Cortainly,” said I. glad fo getrid of her. About 4 o'clock I lay down on the sofainths inner drawing-room, and must have fallen asleep, for I heard no one come into the room, but L awoke with the conscionsness that some one was leaning over me with their face in oloss prox- imity to my own. Ifelt, rather than saw them: 80 close ware they to mo that their lips seemed almost tonching my own, and 28 I sprung up I came into viplent collision with my—companion, “Miss Burke!” T exclaimed indignantly, but I could say nothing more, for, after sali, the crimo of leaning over me was not of a doeadly nature, though coupling it. as I instantly did, with my previous suspicions I felt oot only ex- tromely agry, but considerably alermed. +I was afraid you were ill, dear Mrs. Conyersa, I do hope I have not displeased you, " she pro- ceeded in a deprecating tone, “I did not mean to offend you.” It is of no consequence,” I auswerad, rising from the sofa; **but please do not do Bo again. I am nervous and easily startled.” The circumstance was then tacitly dismissed, and we gpt through the evening pretty fuirly. I rather looked forward to a safe night, for I knew Elhs' bed was in readiness for her. I said good night a little earlier than usual to Miss Burke, but did not inform her that I had indited an epistle to her friond, ths Rev. Mr. White, to ask for further particulars as to her antecedents. 1 beard her come up to her room, and when her door closed, a feeling of compassion came over e, for I fanciad I bad not only . unjustly suspected her, but been very cold in_my manoer, which she bad evidenily fojt. Ellie came afterIwas in bed, and ina short time T had oral evidence that she was slumvering. It made me fecl secure at o]l events, thongh I was certain I shouold dream of all kinds of un- earthly things if tho snoring went on all night. Nothing happened to alarm us, and next morn- ing, in a subducd and anxious vuice, Misa Burke hoped I had not been disturbed. and that Eilis, had kopt me from fesling narvous,—this last re- mark vers reproachfully. About 12 o'clock, when we wera sitting in the drawing-room, Ellis came up and told me that a gootleman wantod to 8ee me on business, buk would mot give his name. *Probably about some eubscription,” I observed; *‘perhaps I had better see what he wanta.” TWithout a suspicion of what awaited me, I went down stairs, and on entering the dining- room encountered & sbort and rather red-faced man, who, bowiog profoundly, asked if I was Mrs, Conyers. On my replying in the afirma- tive, he continued : ‘‘AMay Lnask what establish- ment you have? < I must have looked astonished a8 he explained : I am a detective polico officer, madaw, aud my business hers wil, I am afraid, be an un- pleasant one.” sIndeed!" I sjaculated, *“in what way?” “From information I have received, £ believe yon have a person under your roof who is want- ‘ed on a very serious charge. I most ask your permission to sgwmon every one in the house into this room. I have taken precautions to prevent any,ons leaving it, snd, if you will kind- Iy aceode to my request, I ehall get over a pain- ful ddty as quickly a8 pogsible.” If my lips had been capable of utterance, the words they would have framed would have been «Miss Burke,” but I said nothing. I marely yuhg the bell, which Ellis angwered so promptly I felt certain she must have been behind the door, ready to protect me in case of an emer- gency. ++ $ummon theservants, Ellis,” I said; * snd— ask Miss Burke to come down staws,” It was almogt like a dream to me, seaing my four do- mestica walkin; snd then—suspecting nothing —came Miss Burke. “Got you at last, siv]!” cried the detective. making an agilo dart toward my companion. . Not without some trouble,” coolly responded \his prisoner, whose courage was apparently quite e?n&_l to the occasion, In my wildest mo- ments I bad never dreamed of so deaperate a denouement, and the discovery perfectly para- lyzod me with horror. It was too dre reslize that I had harbored a wretch of & man in woman's clothing, not only in my house, but . in the capacity of companion! In less time than I can describe it in, the detective and bhis prisoner bod departed; it was quictly and quickly managed ; and though a detailed account of it did appear in the papers my name was, hagpily for me, not allowed $o tranapire publicly. The peendo Miss Burke tumed out to be a notorious young man, or I may say Iad, of the name of Browning,;who, baving embezzled large sums aa well as slolen a quantity of magnoificent jewelry, had been unable, owing to the precau- tions taken to prevent his doing g0, to leave London, or to disposs of his stalen property. Through the agenoy of a fomale friend, he had adopted his disgnise, and my unlucky ad- vertisement had suggested to him the ides of insuring bis own safety, should I be credulous enough to take bhim upon the recommendstions, which, I need hardly say, had emanated from his own pen. Not only had be thought of his personal aecurity, but that of the stolen goods, which, in the shape of diamonds and bank-notes, wers found sacurely siowed away in the little black box, which I had thought contained the worldiy g}masions of mypoverty- stricken companion. He was_tried, convicted, and sentenced to penal servitude for fourteen yeara. My husband’s return wes hastened by the ill- nesa which the dreadful affair caused me. Since then, he and I have never been soparated. How- over, shouid I ever be unavoidabiy left alone sgain, my past experience has dacided me on one point—never to advertige, or to trustto written references, or the result may be—A Carious Companion. ——————— THE WATER OF INVERSNAID.

A Mattoon (1) paper recently sdvertised s pre- miam for the best corn in Coles County, and received 5 number of samples, which, to the weight of & quar- ter af a ton, have been forwarded to Mr. T. T. Gurnee, of this city. They are well worth looking at by corn connoissenrs, as they comprise some of the best specimens that have ever been forwarded to Chicago. It ssems from certain statements made that Mr. Carlin, the Assistant Inspector of Grain on the tracks leading to the Northwestern Elevator, had once the misfortana to apply for s higher placs, and the fact is remembered against him. Wo maks this statement becauze the one published in THx TRIBUNE of last Fridsy ia claimed to have done Mr, Carlin an in- Jjustice, and because tha recetvera of grain on that lins are désirous that he should be reinstated. THS TaIs- YR has, however, nothing to do with any personal difficulty that may axist between him and his superior officers, The leading produce markets wers moderstely active on Saturday, thovgh less so than is usual on the tast ‘business day of the month; thers was not g0 much outstanding work to be done as ordinarily remains to be firished up before the deliverias of the next month areinorder, The shipping movement of Fridsy was small, bat o great deal of freight-room was taken on that day, xnd also on Saturdsy, £o that we may expect very large shipmenta to be reported in the early part of the week. No small part of this will be sent out by parties receiving grain on October and November con- tracts, and reported to be already sold for Eastern de- livery. In that event, though the stocks in siore at this point will probably show a material increass for ths week, they will be much smailer when the next weekly statement is made up than now. Prices of domestic dry goods. underwent 10 $ppre- ciable change, though brown cottons and prints show- ed a lack of steadiness, Thers was a fairly satisfacto- ry demand, both from the local and country trade. In the grocery market thera waa littla that is new to mote, Coffees were again quoted weak, and an easy feeling in rice wasalso apparent, but for the other staple arti- cles, and for most side goods as well, the market main- tains & steady and firm tone. Butier was steady at the Intely revised quotstions. The cheese market was rather easier, in sympathy with New York. None of the features of the dried-fruit market were different from those ruling earlier in the week. Fish remain unchanged in values. Cod and herring were active, whila other kinds were quipt. In the wood, leather, ‘were firm and steady, = . Phe'cattle market was fairly active, 80 far as stock- ers and butchers’ gtuff was concerned, hut for ship. ping grades it was dull and heavy. Quotstions weve: For stockers, $2.50@3.75; for cows, §2.50@3.50; for {hrough Texans, $2.50@3.75; and for shipping besves, $4.00@6.25. The receipts wers 900 hesd, and for the week 20,649 head. The hog trade waa more active, and stronger. The receipts were light, and that fact, together with the more favorable westher, incressed the demand, and enabled " holders to gain a elight ad- vance. Sales wers ot $6,50@8.00 for inferior to extra—~ the bulk at $7.10@7.40.

Choice hops were firm, in consequencs of & better feeling Esst, induced by the prospect of liberal exportations, Hides ware dull and easy, and the same may be sld of prairie sy, the démand for which con- tinues light, while the offerings are liberal.

EARLY QLOSING OF THE BOARD, o the Editorof The Chicans Tribuna: - TIn Txe SyxDAY TRIBUNE I notice an articls over the signature of * Scalper ” desiring an adjournment of the Board of Trade each day &t 1:15 p. m. a8 now on Satardsy. I look upon such a change with grest favor as condncive to mentaland bodily health and Iong life of the members, This confinement in the exchange room, under such mental strain, for the ‘present number of hours, is the cause of much dys- and kidnoy discass among the mem- fig‘,".:u it kept :p ey reeuit in much Bright's disease of the kidneys, paralyss, and in many cases sudden death.

HOG PRODUCTS—Were quiet and firmer, under the fact of Hght offerings, with a moderate demand. There was less disposition to hold off for lower prices of hogs than herstofore (that market belng a shade firmer on Saturday), though packers are still unwilling 1o take hold at aver $7.00 per 10024, A good many of thern are ready to commence oporations on Mondas, if the weather be suitable and the hog-supply iarge enough ; but it ia generaily thougnt that packing will be slow through the greater part of November, which means s small supply of product on the market, sa the stooks of the old ar believed to be Brastically ex- hausted. The report of hog cholers in some seo- tions of the West, with some fatal cases, is operating as & Qistarber.
