THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1875.—SIXTEEN PAGES. REAL ESTATE. The Past Week's Dullness Ascribed to Political Excitement. An Average Amount of Loan Business Transacted. A Large Kamber of Building Permils AppHed For. Dealersin real estate report very fow transic- tions daring the pust week. Several of the old- est and generally the most active honses have made no sales, and have no immediate ofany. The troth is, thers is really scarcely ansthing domng. For nearly all the week every- body's attention was absorbed in the election #d its resnlts, wisely judging timt if our people are ever agsin to have an active market for yproperty. sobstantml citizens must give tims enough to the elections to put men in offics who will not consume its entire value in high taxes. Property-owners should nover forget that the men electad to tho Common Council 20d4 the County Board have the power to mortgage their property toan aimost unlimited amount, for those' who seek office to eteal {ho pecple’s money csre nota vusn for the constitational limit of 5 per cent of dedt onthe value of the property on the pledge of which they sell bonds and then put the pr Iurgely into thewr own pockete. For the above and perhaps other ressons, “'i" cago has seldom hid a moro quiet real estale market than for the past weelk. THIS, TO DEALERS, wery uncomfortable condition of the market, is Dot due to sny lack of mouey in the hands of capitalista, ar in fact of incividuals among all classesof the people. Money is cbundant, but capitalists prefer to invest in active securiiies at small rates of interest, and the people to p'ub their money in the savings banks, or otherwise invest carefally, rather fo ** salt it down™ in real property. Of course taey hope for lower figurea. W hile holders, with few exceptions, will not con- cede much, if anytbing, from old standard grices. Their fauth in the future com- mercial, manufacturing, sad financial eu- promacy of Chicsga is unsheken, snd beoce they hold on to their real 'y with almost doged obstinscy. . They kaow it isonly s question of time when their resl estate will command full rents or good prices, and a6 to the length of that time tbey are willing to wait snd bope. While this is true in the main, pieces of propersy can now be picked up all over the city at rigures which will be sure, 12: 8 very few years, £o reslize a fortuno for those who have the merve to take aod to hold them. Themenin grest cities who buy when property has resched *-bottom™ prices eoon F.clie fortunes; but they are excoedingly wise— perbape it wonld be betier to eay fucky—who Lnow just when the lowest figures have been resched. On that point each one must judge for himself. SPECTAEN BALES. A. J. Averell 8old for Edwin Lee Brown to E. T.

She was known far and wide throughout the neighbarhood in which I made her acquaintsnce s8 ** The Little Mare.” Enown llmih'lrly._ ad- mired greatly, and, in truth I must add. disliked extremely. No man had bestowed s name upon her yet ; indeed, no in2a had owned her long enongh to take the trouble to give her any other than the cognomen which seemed to all who came in contact with her to be sufficiently dis- tinctive for her, beautiful and dsogerons a3 she Wwas, A little chestnut thoroughbred, 15} baads Ligh, her almost metchless beauty fired ms with the desire to become ber ownmer the m:nute I sawher. Itwas all in vain they told me that gshe bed s thoroughly bad reputation as a hair- brained, ineSictently brokou, shifty cresture. I liked the little mare. and so I bought her, and pawed ber “ Guinevere.” At this distance of time there is nothing sure- Iy valo-glorious or egotiztical in my staung that in those days I rods with a degree of ekill and courage that made the task I had undertaken of taming Guinevere an interestiog study to every- body who either knew me or understood the mare. She was & perfect picture in all the phases in which she showed herself to the public. Whether she covered the flat m ber long-stretching gallop, or flew the stiff break-nock banks and hedges of the country like a bird; whother sho * cantered ona sixpence,” as it was her graceful wont to do oc- casionally, or sprung like & wild cat in a spasm of spite in the air, to the detriment of her girths and the dangerof my balsace very often, she was aiways peifecily graceful and perfectly in barmony with her reputation and her appear- ance. I cecame comscious, after s while, that the retention of the little mare waa a grow- mg monomania with me. She was not suited to the country in which I lived; she was not fitted for the work for which I most fre- quently wanted bor. Her temper was invariably bad in the society of other horses and in the ‘hunting-field her conduct was execrablo. Never- theless, I clung to the companiooship of the only trescherous four-footed follow-creatars I bad over met with, and refused to give ear to those birds of ill-omen who crosked out pro- phetical cautions to me to * boware that noth- 1ug evil came of my obstinacy.” I eesmed to bear a charmed life as far as she was concerned, for her worst feats of vicious skittishness never cansed me the shghtest lnconvesi:nce in the gaddle. As for others, I did nov desire that any one else should nde her; and if one were rash enouph to do 80. that rash one must ** “ware the lurking devil in her,” Jhat was all. ‘The httle mare had been tne dominant inter- est, or rather I should say the dominent nmuse- ment. of my ife for about six months, whenoar monotonous routine was broken up pleassutly by the amval of an old school-fellow of mine, who came to bs my gumast for s month before her marrisge. Wo had partod 28 pirls eight years before, when I married and went to Live down in the conatry. Butas we had kept up & tolersbly regular and froyuent correspondence ever since, and as I bad honestly laid bare to her ceveral phases of feeling, and chsoges of temperament and judgment, through which 1 had passed, I imagined that I knew Laurs Doyatield as well, and or- stood her as thoroughly, as of old. Sho had changed considerably in appesrance, I decided the tirst momont that my eves fell on Ler. The slight girl had merged into & hand- some woman. * Yes, bandsome,” I repeated ad- visedly, when my husband dispated the term, and caviled at her clam to good looks. - **Yes, haudsome mnquestionsbly, Kirke. Not besuti- ful, not preity, not lovely; not one of those terms can be applied to her : bat Laura is hand- some.” “She's n great, coarse, loud, horee-godmoth- er of a woman, and I can’t understand your en- thasiaetic friendshup for her, any mors than I can anderstand aoy feliow who can avoid the match involviog bimself in marrisge wWith her; that laugh of bers would justify s breach of promise on the part of any man.” Kirke went on contesting, and, after the mannerof a politic wife, I put the question by for a_time, feeling convinced tnat the cbarm of Laura's candor wounld assert itself over him sooner or later. But the conviction grew upon me, after a few days, that my friend's candor, complete as it was, was oftentiznes apt to degenerate into the most cruel rudeness to any one whom she did not like, or from whom she had mo prospect of deriving any benefit. From light sparring, the conversation between my busband avd my Iriend wonld frequently take the turn of angry recrimination. *‘She been accustom- ed to bo tlattered on in her fault-find- ing with every one’s manoers and customs bat her own, by betng told that her tongue is s bright, polished. and sharp a8 n rapier of the best Mlan steel,” I said. Mendacious humbag ! ” my husband langbed; “no ope but herself ever said that of her tongue; there's a good deal of bluntnesa about it, that's only just saved from being " brutal by the fact of her being a lady. No, no, Netlie; your friend 1s & failure, and you'll find her ut to be 80 in time, if 1 am not very much mis- takon.” e Nonseuss, Kirke ; all possibility of our ever clashing is over now, even if it could evar have existed. I'm married, and she's eugaged to & man who, if report is to be credited, is as near perfection as it's possible for an saccomplished man of the world to be. He's coming to see her to-morrow—you know that, don'tyou? " “No ; she either thought tie fact or her host ummportant, for sbe has forgotten to mention the one to the other,” Kirkereplied ; and I fore- bore to say anything more about Laura. The followiog dsy Maj, Barton came, bringing with him ove_of his brotber officefs, a Capt. Meredith ; and 88 1eaw Laurs's glance fall on the latter, I felt, at ouce, a presentiment that Bn-ua:: had acted indiscreetly in bringing bis frien The two men reached our houee early in the morning. They had sun down from Aldershot by the night-train and slept ac toat station, therefore they came into our midst befare we were prepared for them—before we had rhaken of ths eultry summer-morning lassitude, or ‘mastered the contents of the dsily papers, or de- vised aoy scheme of entertaiument wherewith to. @ the time of their visit away. - Laura loanged discontentedly into my room sbout half an hour after their arrival, witha pout on her face that I wae begiuning to under- stand. ** What do you propose, Nellis ?” she began. ‘¢ We must do somothing ta amuse them.” *‘You bad better take Maj, Barton for & stroll under the chiffs, and I'll come and talk to Capt. Meredith ;" but, though 1 thus disposed of what 1 saw she was inclined to treat as a difficalty, I felt confident that she would not be enthusisstio about the arrangement. **Thank you; but, as I ehall very soon have the opportunity of strolling uninterruptedly through Iife with Maj. Bartox, I won't begin.ai- ready. Why can't we all go for s ride?" ** There are five of us to go, and we have only three horses,” I replied. po";"_l‘gxu horses and & pony; you forget the ‘‘Oh! Laurs, yon wouldn't suggest putting one of those plungers on the Kelpie,” I Iaughed. ** Poor little fellow, he’s blind and lame, and their lega would trail on the groznd, It's im- possible for either of them to ride the Eelpie.” **Impoesible for either of them, or for me, because I am too tall,” Miss Laura rejoined coolly; * but you might ride the Kelpie, and lend the little mare to me. And as for Kirke, T'm sure he won't care to go.” ** You're civil to me and my husband,” I said, tryiog to _keep down both my temper and my color. T daresay you are right about Kirke ot caring to go with us, but you're atierly wrong in supposing hat I can lendyou the little mare. I wounldo't let & woman, who rode per- fectly, mount Guinevere if I could help it, and, clever aa yon are 1o most things, Laura, you haven's attained perfection a8 & horsewoman as yet. Guinevere would buckyou off inamoment.” “Then Jet Meredith ride her,” she urged esgerly. ‘Do, Nellle; do be sweet. ag vou alwags are; I've promised him a ride. i've promised. do you eee;:"you wouldn't have me bresg my word? If 's any difficulty abont tha haresa. can't yoi 7+ at home with Fred Barton, and let me go out with Capt. Mere- dith? " «J can’t do anvthing so uttarly insane,” I said, angrily. * Why do you want to annoy iaj. Barton, by preferring 'his friend before ua strangers ? You saw Capt Meredith for the first time half an hour ago, and yon want to bebave as if he ‘were the man you ware going to marry, and Maj. Barton were the strapger—" I babave as if he were the man I wanted &0 marry, I allow that,” Laura anowered, defiantly,” + Don’t begin to preach at me, Nellie; it's a case of love a: first sight. I'd give half my life to feel sure that Meredith would marry me, if I broke my engagement with Fred.” * You're mad, and you're wicked,” I begah. Mad, bad, and d.lm:srmuhto k;gw," 8he in- terrupted ; * yee, you're right. e majority of women lvoynld yhold thEir tongues about1s if they felt as I do. Oh! Neilie, let me have thig ride ; do let me have this ride,” she went on. 50 mournfully that my heart softencd towards her to tne degree of makiag me utter a sentimental- ly conventional gentence. + What 8 pity it is that our wayward hearts are ot under better cootxot ! & + Not atall,” Laura retorted, * There's quits s8 much joy 28 thers is woe in these dominat- ing, ungovernable emotions. I will gladly bear ali the pain my * wayward beart ’ can inflics upon* me for the eake of the poetry its *uncontrollable emotion’ bas infused into'my hife to-day.” - According to my cooler judgment, there was something uowomanly, both in the violence of the sentiment and the sud- deoness with which it had been inspired. But to attempt to argue with Laura was about as impotent & proceediug A3 running one's bead againet a stone wall, with the idea of impressing the wall. % Imade the concession eventusliy; made it with greatreluctance, certainly, and to szlve my conscienco I hampered it with conditions. “We will go for the ride, if you promise me that you will not try fo divide tbe party. Wa must all four keop.together, and the conversa- tion maat be general, If you attempt to effect & tete-a-teto with Capt. Meredith. I shall insist ou coming home atouce, and I shall agk him to ride by the Kelpie's aide.” i “1'Il promisa anything you ask,” she eaid, a8 she went off to put on her habit, whilo I rang to arder the horses. - 1In spite of her impatience to start, the facility of custom enabled me to be ready some time be-~ fore she was, and I made.the most of the oppor- tunity by running down to give somo genoral diroctions as to the conduct of our ride to the two gontlemen, and some special hints as to Guinevere's proclivities to Capt, Meredith. “ Your maro is a great beauty, my friend Miss Baysfield tells mo, aud I am 2 highly-honored man in being permitted to ride her,” the latter said to me, as Niaj. Barton walked out of the room to shout out a request to Laura to * hurry herselt.” 3 + A great beanty; and I'm afraid some n-ngla would tell you truly enough—a great beast.” I replied quickly. ‘* Strong pressure has been put apon me to-dsy to induca me io let you have her, Capt. Meredith. You would help me out of s great difficulty if you would refuse to ride ber.” . He was & cool-mannered, good-looking, lazy- voiced man, this one whom 1 nadressed, il the air upon him habitually of tazing little interest in or Loed of any- thing. He sarprised me now by the change whieh ho permitted my few, unimportant words to make 1n him. An uncontrollable agitation be- came apparent both in his voice and manaer as he answered : +- Let me entreat you, Mrs. Vyoer, not to put a stop to the project. It may be—it will be— the only opportunity I shal} have of —" Ho paused, snd £ siruck in, intemperataly : «0f doing what? Of behaving dishonorably and cruelly to Maj. Barton 2" He made s gesture of deprecation or of de- spair, I conld scarcoly decide which it was, and repeated the words—* Let me entreat you not 10 put a stop to the project.” ** Your ses10usoess makes me surer than I was before that I oughs to put a stop to 1, or to telt Aaj. Barton to do so.” 4 That would be tho most fatal step yon could take, beliave me,” he said earaestly. ** It would be giving importaace to an unimportant, though most inexplicable, caprice. ItisAliss Baystiold's whim that Ishould ride with ber to-day, sud, though I have no desira to do so, and have ouly known her an hour, I can't resies ber will. I shall ride with her oven if—" “You ride to destruction,” I put in impatient- ly. **Cav’t you, man of the world as you are, seo that this is only & capricious outbreak of a desire to show power on ¢he part of a mere flirt? Laura is my friend, but. for the sskeof you all, T ask you to help mo to stop mischief.” “You might s well appesl to me to help you to stop an svalanche,” he rephied recklessly. + Ag you unluckily have horses enough for us all to nde—" +But—I haven's enough,” I urged. “I am compelled to ride a horrible hitle pony just to guatify Laura's ridicnlous vanity. Rsther than.not carry her point, sbe actasally had the absurdity to propose riding Guinevere her- gelf, although even her self-coaceit must becon- geions that her powers are wholly inadequate to such a task.” +Is Guinevere so difficult 7" “ She's more, Capt. Meredith ; she's droadfal- 1y dangerous to any one who knows her & shade less than I do—" Capt. Meredith is one of the finest rough- niders in the service,” Laura struck ip, in a lond ~voice, advancing into the room with Msj. Barton by her side. ‘There was something almost painfully sharo to 1me, a: this moment, in the contrast presentad by the devoted, refined man with the distinguished, eoldierly bearing, and the pronoooced manner of my friend—the woman he had chosen for his wife. ‘* He may be the first rough-rider in the world, aod still be had better not ride Guinevere, I feel sure,” I mattered to Laura. * Do give up the plan, dear: do lot ns stay at home, and spend the time as I proposed.” I spoke in 8o low s voice, that the others conld not hear what I said: and Laurs, in obedience to my hint, answered me, softly : ‘+It'a no use, Nellie. = Come, order the horses round, acd let us start.” - She_glowed with impatience as she spoke, and I, with a degree of supineness with which I bave never failed fo reproach mygelf, withdrew my opposition to tbe scheme, and ordered the horees round 28 she desired. By a bold strategic movement, which she exe- cuted as we rode down our rather steep drive, Laurs placed herself by Capt. Meredith’s side, behind her lover and me. felt that such’ an open mark of her preference for the stranger must be both painfal and humiliating to Maj. Barton ; and my pity for him deepened my feel- ing of indignation against her, for her thought- lesa persistence_in amusing herself at any cost of euffering and annoyance to others, “ZLet us pull up for Laura and your friend to join ue.” I said, as we passed throngh ths gatewsy into the rosd, and I half drew rein as I Bpoke. «Prdy do nothing of the kind, Mrs. Vyner,” he said, quickly. **Laura is at perfect iiberty todo as ghe pleages in this as in every other matter. I can trust her.” *‘But I can't trust Guinevere,” I urged. *‘Do let us keep together: the little mare’s going liko & lamb now: but I should like to ses that Capt. Meredith understands her desperately de- ceitful natare."” “He is & firat-rate fellow in the aaddle,” Maj. Barton answered decidedly. **Don’t show any anxiery abont them; they will hoth put it down to another cause than the little mare, 1f you do. Let us trot on.” 1 obeyed bim—unwillingly enough—for tia or three reasons. The Kelpie's trot was anything but the poetry of motion, for one thing; and % folt that we were both disregarding our bounden daty, which was to look after the reckless pair behind us, for another. Aly doubts and distress rendered me taciturn, &nd presently Maj. Bar- ton, looking at me, read me like an open baok. “*Don’t be annoyed about anything,” be said, cordislly, “‘Laura is subject to these glamours, bat they're of the most transient nature in the world, I assure you. I quite understand ber ; don't be annoyed.” *‘1'm gorry you should supposs that I am at allinclined to censure Laura for anything she may do or leave undooe.” I replied, eagerly. “I'am ‘uncomfortable,” not *annoyed’; I can't shake off the impression of impending evil.” He glanced down at me as the Kelpie shuffled sloog in his limping trot, with an air of grave sympathy and zoleration. “Iam glad that Laura hascome to such s good. honest friend 28 you are. for her last few weeks of frgedom.” he gaid, kindly. *‘She has been brought upina baa school, Mra. Vyner. To crave for the admiration of every man she meets, and to compass her ends by any meacs within her powers, has been her motive and her occupation for some years; but I look forward with coofidence to ber relinquishing that Jow aim, and embracing a lofiier ooe, when &he comes under a better influence—" ** Do let us pull up,” I interrupted, pleading- I5._ My side was aching hornbly, for the Keljia bad a trot to which no mostal rider could adjust him or herself. We had ridden a good distanca {rom home by this time, and had lett the other two far behind us, and my desire to call a halt culminated now, when I found that we were in a Detwork of high-bedged Ianes, in which it wonld be the easieet thing possible for Laura and her cavalier to lose themselves, for just exactly so long a8 they pleased. 1 can recall vividly every turn and involution of that narraw lana. everv vatch of light ahd shads that fell upon the fern-clothsd banks and flower-crowned hedges. A httle rivalet, merely asilver thread of water, trickled clong at the baas of eitber bank, and at the cod of the lano s thick wood loomed, offering us the grateful prospact of shade and coelness. ‘There were two or three bridle-paths through this wood, and, acting under the indneace of the fenr that Maj. Barton and [ might take one, and the contumacious pair behiod us snother, I ip- sisted on eommg toa hals at the entrance until the laggards rode up and joined us. Thore was Do mistaking tbe exprossion of their faces a3 they approached ns. His eyes were bent on ber with a look of intense, passion- ate admiration. An eager, reckless look it was, and I turped with anger =2nd alarm to ses how she met it! Her always pale face was ke a white firs now, and her lids drooped heavily over her eyes, in vaia attempt to veil from us, who were regarding her, the seerot of the triumph she had won over s man's heart and honor. More with a view of reminding them of our presence than for any other reason, I called out, coldly. a8 they cams up: *‘You're handling the little mare's month very badly, Capt. Meredith. I never take her on the curb. Just see how bloodshot her eyes are. You have put her iz a passion.” They neither of them spoke, and 1 saw with unfeigned alarm that Msj. Barton was taking keen cognizance of their abetraction. “I'm nervous," I said, in an explanatory tone to him. *Italways upseis me if Isee Guine- vere mismanaged in the slightest degree.” ** And two Guineveres at the ssme time must tax any man's powers of management,” he said, in & low voice ; but low as the tones were, they piercad my heart, by the power of the pain that was (n them, and I trembled for the natural con- saqusnces of this folly, as I realized sbap Maj. Barton was assigning the parts of the King, Queen, and false Knight to himeelf, Laura, aod Meredith. As we “rode on through sun and shade,” the crisp, rapidly-bronzing ferns oracking under our horses’ feet, and sending up waves of natural incense around us, there could be no doubt of the beauty of the picture of which we formed a part. *The green trees whispering low and mild ;” the blue unclouded wenther; the fine forws and soldierly Dbeariug of the two men ; the large lazy beanty of tbe fair woman, who was the Eve and the serpent of this paradise in one ; the sinuous, subtle grace of the fascinatiogly ill-tempered little mare; and evan the picturésque rugged- ness of the Kolpio—ali these parts, perfect in themselves, wero harmonizod into s whole that was more perfect still. Presently Laura got close to my side, and whispered, ** Let ug get homo 24 soon 85 wo can, Nellie. I bave made s promiso to, and exacted » promise in retura from, Capt. Meredith, and we must get home &t once, in order that they may be kept." £he looked at’me with a strange mixture of appeal and defianca in hor eyes as she spoke, and I—feeling that it would be well fo do so—bardened myself to tho appeal, and only responded to the defiance by saying, with futile energy : *+1 would not curieil my ride one half inch in order to enable you to keap any promisa to Capt. Meredith ; you'd no right to make oce to him! Laurs, you're making mischief, and. if you hate me for it, I will thwart yon if I can.” Sick with annoyaincee, faint with a foreboding of avil, 1 pulled my pooy ap abruptly, and turned, raising my whip in warning to those behind mo »s I did so. Slight asit was, the action roused some hitherto ~dormant devil in the lttle mare, and with a shrieking anort sho bounded past us, out of her rider’s control, away into the thick of the wood. To follow that crashing career was nseless ; to remain quiescent was impossible. For a mo- meat or two we stood horror-struck, listening to tho progress of the creature possessed by her nover-long-absent demon. At the expiration of those moments we moved, speaking to oue an- other in incoherent words that seemed to arum- ble on our lips before they could be nttered. **She can't go far iu thig thicket,” Laura said presently, and though she endeavored to make ber tone assertive only, it was so piteously ap- pealing that ll hope died ont of my own heart as | listened to ber. We galloped along & cross bridle-path that would, we savmised, cut through the mare’s wild Toute. “]1f she only steors clear of the trees and comes out on this side, where he can give her a good burst through the meadow Iand, he will be all right,” I gasped as we tore along, and 1 could see that Laura’s face blanched to an oven deadiier white, a8 my worda conjured up & vision of the only other alternative if the mare did pot steer clear of the trecs. No wooder she shuddered at the vigion ; no wonder that wo all shrank from the reality that was forced upon us soon. We came to a standstill on the margin of the wood, and looked distractedly down into the open, bopiog to sse the fiying form of the mare in some place whore her burs: ‘or free- dom would not end so disastronsly as ic probably would 1 among the big, :mmovable, cruel trunks of the trees. But we looked in vain. Guinevere and her rider were nowhers io be soen, and with an exclamstion that was almost a groan, Laura led the way into the heart of the grove. A Silently and slowly we picked our way in terror and despair over the high thick carpet of ferns, for wiat mppeared an interminable time. Once or twice we muttered to one anoth- er, muttered words of counsol as to our course, or ejaculated ** Hush!™ or **Hark!” =s fancy formed gome sotnd in our ears, which we took for the fiying horse. But during a1l that dreary progress we never 0 much a8 dared to murmur 8 word of hopal : It was all so horribly still that 1 thought the very heavens would have been rent by the shriek that came from Laura’s lips, when our quest ended at last by the mde of the dead man and horse. Her head was smashed in by the forceof the blow sho hed given herself against a low-growing bough, and she had failen straight down on the spot where she had been struck, and her rider had been shot to a distance of Tor8yards on the near side. As Laora leaped from her horse and kmelt down by him, wreathing her srmsround the insensiblo form that bad never felt her embraco in life, and pressiog her face down on the cold lips thac had never touched hers, [ realized that she was the bride of the dead, and that she wounld mever violate the vowa of her awful betrothal by marrying Maj. Barton !—AU the Year Round. —_— ‘Walter Savage Landor. It was at a breakfast in Kenyor's house that T first met Walter Savage Landor. As I entered the room with Procter, Landor was in the midst of an eloquent barangue on the hugh art of por- traiture. Procter had been lately sitting to = daguerrotypist for a picture, and Mrs. Jameson, 'who a8 very fond of the poet, had arranged the camera [or that occasion. Lander was hold- ing the picturein his hand, declaring that it had never been surpassed 88 a specimen of that particular art, The grand-looking sauthor of Pericles and Aspasia” was standiog in the middle of the room when we entered, and his voice sounded like an explosion of first-class _artillery. Beeing Procter eoter, he immediately began toaddress himin bigh-sound- ing Latin compliments. Poor modest Procter pretended to stop Lis ears that he might not lis- ten to Landor's eulogistic phrases. Kenyon came to the rescue by declaring that the break- fast had been waitiog balf an hour. When we arrived at the table Landor asked Proctor to joip bim on an expedition into Spain which he was theu contemplating. * No," eaid Procter, +for I cannot even ‘ walk Spanish,’ and, having never crossed the Channel, Ido not intend 10 begin now.” Never crossed the Channel,” roared Landor, —**pever saw Napoleon Bonaparte!” He then began to tell us how the young Corsicsn looked when he firat saw him, saying that he had the olive complexion =and roundness of face of & Greek girl; that the Con- sul's voice was deep and melodious, but udtruthfol in toue. .While we were eating breakfast he went on to deacribe his Ttal- ian travels 1 early youth, telling us that he onca saw Shelley sud Byron meet in the doorway of a botel in Piga. Landor had lived in ltaly many years, for he detested the ciimate of his native country, and used to say ‘‘oue could only live comfortably in Englaud who was rich enough to bave a solar syatem of his own.” . . . Proec- ter told me that when Landor got into a passion bls rage was sometimes uccontroilable. The fiery spirit knew his weakness, but his anger quite overmaatered .him in epite of him- gelf. “"Keep your temper, Landor,” some- body said to him one day when he was raging. ‘That is just what I don't wish to keep,” he cried, *-I wish to be rid of such sn infamous, ungovernable ibing. Idon’t wigh to keep my temper.” Whoever wishes to get & good look at Landor wilt not seek for it alone in Joho Forster's interesting life of the old map, sdmirable as it is, but will turn to Dickens' ** Bieak Houss " for made glances at the great sutbor. In that vi story Dickens Liag made hus friend Laodor sit for the portrait of ‘Lawreucs Boythorn. Tbe very Iaugh that made tbe whole bouse vibrate, the roundoesa and ful'ness of voics, the fury of superlatives, are ail given in Dickens’ best manner, and no one who has ever seen Landor for half an hour could poesibly mietake Boythorn for anvbody else. Talking the matter over once with Dickens, Le gaid : ** Landor always took that presentation of himself in_hearsy good homor. and seemed rathetDroud of the plcture,”—vaniés T. Fields.

So far as ascertained, thers was 0o {raud, or attempt at fraud, the recaipt having been origanally filied out wrongly, and cor- rected in the offica Of the elevators named. It had also been remstered but a party had refused to accept it as regular, and ths holder lost $25 in storage charges by tho transaction. Of courss no clerk ought to be permitted to issue such 2 document, and no bank would lend money on it any more than 1t wonld pay the monsy on an altered chack, The leading prodace markets wero again quiet on Saturday, though there was more doing in grain than the day previous, and the majority wers steady, tha fiuctnations in prices being small. The receipts of grrin were only moderate, and were exceeded by the shipments, while frefght-room was taken to move out o layge quantity of wheat, and.fair volumes of corn and oats, Freights were s shade easier, howaver, steam-room to Buffalo being obtained at 6xo for wheat at the close. Jobbers of dry goods reported a rather quist mar- Xet. Theattendanceof buyers wes small, and the amount of orders received through the mafia was rather light, even for the closing day of the weer. A# to prices, they were without maternl change, the general market preserving the steady tone lately characterizing it. Thers was a moderate movement in staple and fancy groce- Ties at nominally unchanged prices, though for some articlesin the list—mostly coffees, rice, snd teas—there was an undercurrent of weakness. Sugars were etronger, Butter remains weakand uneettled, but without further quotable decline, A want of firm- ness is alio apparent in the cheess mazket. Prices of dried fruits were firm, domestics especially so, Fish sold moderztely at former quotations. Lake fishars tending upward. Coal and wood were dull at former quotations, Grain bags were in light demand,=nd were only indifferently firm at 2ic for Btark, at 260 for Lewiston, and 25¢ for American and Amoskesg.

Highwines were moderately active, and firmer, st $1.12@1.12) per gallon, but closed at the inaide, The demand for lumber continues good, and prices for all common qualities at hoth yards and docks are strong, the receipts being light and the stock broken, without likelihood that it will be made whole again this fall. Baturdsy the offeringa st the docks were small, consisting only of & few siraggling cargoes, which sold readfly at recent prices. Lron and steel were tn moderate demand at unchanged rates. Wool and hops remain quiet, Broom-corn was fairly sctive, the inferior grades being essy under liberal roceipts, Seeds were quiet, except flax, which sold to s moderate extent at rocent prices. The demand for green fruits was fair, and prices wero generaily adhered to, though some varleties which aro nearly ont of season, and begin to look s if they ought to be, were alow snd easy, Game and poultry both ‘met with good lecal inquiry and ruled steady, prairie chickens and maliard ducks being firm. Potatoes were in moderate demand at former prices. Car-lots sold slowly, but the retail demand was fair, Peaschblows be- ing the favorite variety, PROVISIONS. 'HOG PRODUCTS—Were moderately active in the ‘sggregate, but easior all round, with & decidedly weak tone in somearticles. Hogs were lower, with s fair sup- Ply, and operators expected Isrge results the coming week, which made offerings of psoduct more liberal, 50d depreased prices. It was found, 0o, that, notwith- standing all the grumbling to the contrary, the pack- ing of the season to date (the first week) is iarger than during the ssme time in any previous year except 1873, The number ia 62,11, against 56,530 in 1874 ; 84,170 in 1873, and 21,300 in 167L, The stocks of pork and lard on Baturdsy in thiscity are reported as 2,500 bris pork and 5,580 tcs lard.
