PRESIDENT GRANT'S FUTURE PLANS. From Our Own Correspundent. Wasmxeroy, D. C. Oct. 26.—President Grant, in January, 1864, when he was General of the Army, during Mr. Lincoln’s second term of office, wrote to I. N. Morris, of Illinois, a letter, in which he said: This [to be President] isthe last thing in the world Idesire. Ishould regard such a comsum- ‘mation as being highly unfortunate for myself, if not for the country. ~Through Providence I have attained to more thanIever hoped, and with the position I now hold i the regular army, if allowed 1o retain it, will be more than satisfied. I certain- 1y ehall never shape a sentiment, or the expression of athought, with a view of beinga candidate for office. There can be little doubt that President Grant, in the Jast few months of his Adminis- tration, reflects with some regret upon the po- sition which he abandoned at the request of the people to become President of the United States. As General of the Army, Gen. Grant would have retained through life a position entirely suited to his tastes, which yields an in- come that would have been adequate to his sup- port in his declining years. The Presidentgnow, after eizht years of Presidential service, can searcely look forward to the future with the same assurance as to material things that he did eight years ago, with the certainty of an honor- able and comfortable life-office before Lim. Gen. Grant is not 8 poor man, but he is far from being arich one. During his adininistratioa of the Presidential officc he has not been able to watch his material inter- ests, especially his Western investments, as closely as he womld have been able to do in bis position as General of the Army. The consequence is, that he hus lost a good deal of money, and that some of his interests have been sacrificed. His St. Louis farm was nota- bly conducted at a loss, his stoek was disposed n!y simply for the reason that prudence -made it necessary for him to withdraw from a kind of farming to_support which required annual <drafts upon his income. Owing to the shrinkage of values in Eastern States. property which the President had in Washington, Long Branch, andin New York, has greatly depreciated in value. Some portions of this he has, ou ac- count of the hard times and the mortgages, dis- osed of at considerable sacrifice. The Presi- gent oes out of office, beyond doubt, a poorer man than when he entered it, without the assured comfortable income attached to the office of the General of the Army. Senator Jones, of Nevads, who ought to know some- thing of the means of the President, estimates Gen. Grant’s wealth at $80,000. It is mot prob- able tnat all of this is income-yiclding property. GCV. ITAYES AT THE WOITE HOUSE. Should Gov. Hayes be elected President, life At the White House will be entircly simple and domestic. Such \rash¢hc mie ((}:ov.gflaya ::g family led when he was in Congress, ;‘lllsch ,nrcy his present habits of life at his Ohio home. When here Gov. Hayes and wife were very domestic people. They lived quietly in modest and respectable lodgings on Thirteenth street. They took little part in tt shallow shams which constitute Washington so- ciety. He indulged in no extravagances of liv- ing. He gave no costlyen inments, but lived the modest, decent, eiegant, sober life_of a Christian gentleman. 1f Gov. Hayes reaches the White Ifouse, there will be no sham or shoddy about the wavs of the Executive Man- sion. . ROBESON AS A SATLOR. Itissaid of Secretary Robeson thatheis a “ constitutional lawyer among sailors, and a2 sailor among constitutional lawyers.” A droll story is told of him in the early days of his ad- mmistration. At a Cabinet ‘meeting in the beginmng of the Aaministration, soon after he hfi%‘ccascd to be a New Jersey lawyer, and be- fore he had learned much about sl.:};s, the story goes that in the office of the Executive Mansion, where the Cabinet meeting is held,a new carpet had been laid. This carpet had cguln_alwnv lines running through it parallel with eacl other. The meetinghad scarcely begun, when the distinguished Chicf of the Navy Department suddenly complained of being ill, and began to manifest sizns ot disemboweling himsell. Delano, who was sitting next to him, asked him what the matter was. Robeson answercd as well as he could, “That he felt nli,t’tle sick; the carpet looked so much like waves. A SMALL TRIAL OF SUMNER. - Mr, Sumner, lke all great men, had somo pet the gayety and.- appreciation of Senatorial "dignit soect he was perhaps the no! them all. He was never wil ot ortittle of the honor or to him eeened due to Senatorial of ways regarded the franking special fondness, and had e been his saat Eending the discussion of the question of its abolition it is not improbable that his voice would have been heard in favor of that most venerable privilege. A curious story is told of him in connection with the franking priv- ilege. After Mr. Sumner had left his summer In this re- st Roman of to yvield one ilezes which Heal ge with g -} home fn Boston many - yenrs, & coter upon his | offieal - datis 1o the Semate in the winl er, he left behind him with his clerk a package of envel- opes, franked by his 0wn/hml(;fl,k:§ be usedeiln forwarding lettérs to him_at Washington. The law was very explicit” that . Postmasters should not forward franked letters ‘from places where it was-known that the person whose frank was prescnted did not reside, or was not tempora- rily stopping. The Republican Campaign Com- mittee at one time were obliged to call atten. tion to this passage of thelaw. The Postmaster at Boston, thinking to do his duty, and perhaps thinking to gain some notoriety b stopping Charles Sumner’s frank, withheld bis Jetters. Notice of this detention speedily came to Mr, Sumnper. The indignity upon this “‘ancient privilege” was too great, and Charles Sumuer did not rest until he secured the removal of the Postmaster. / AN ANECDOTE OF GEN. 0, 0. HOWARD. //. I recently heard a-story from one of Gen. Howard’s staff officers which speaks well for Howard’s integrity. The action scems honest in its intent, but there may be those who will characterize it as a trick of a man trading upon his_religious flnciglcs, At one time,in the early period of the War, when the Paymaster came fo settle accounts, the question arose whether staff officers should receive pay for o servant, which by law théy were entitied to, although up to that time they had had no ser- vants. Gen. Howard declined to accept his pa for a servant, stating that he did not consider {t just to the Government, as he had not, had onc, but he did not.wish his conduct to reflect upon other officers of his staff, whom he left to Jjudge for themselves. The other officers held & meet- InF, and decided that their consciences would allow them to take pay for the servants. The officer who told me this took the pay himself. One trouble with Gen. Howard has been that he “possesses zeal without knowledge and was nlwnfimplnccd in positions that were too great for . This was so all thmu{;h the War, and it has been so since. He was placed in commands to which his rank en- titled him, but which his ability did not deserve. He was actuated by honest purposes, andit can- not be denied that Sometimes he permitted him- self to be led astray by promptings of religious ambitions. He liked to sce his name In print at the beginning of long pravers. He is flat- tered by the rank he has attained among relis- ous people of the country. He has scemed to feel that the cause of Christianity depended u{mu his individual exertions, and has devoted himself much to the propo,r:nmi:tli often to the neglect of the material duties that have been intrusted to him. This defcet at one time made him, under the construction of the law. a defaulter, and, in_the eyes of many of his enemies, a thief. He ‘trusted Providence without keeping his_ powder dr or his accounts straight. His greatest diglcnlty has been that he has no executive ability. He has always been placed, however, in positions requiring much administrative skill, aud has Em\'ed himself in them o Bliull’e peg in a round ole. He has little knowledge of the world, and of men, and is \'er{] gullible. Some of the defaulting officers of the Freedman’s Bureau he ggo[nte on the strength of their pragers. is appointments of persons to manage that Bureau singularly illustrated his lack of wis- dom and of worldly judgment. It is a fact that, notwithstanding Howard’s strictly tem- chnu: principles, some of the worst _drinking u the field during the War was at Howard’s own headquarters and among his staff officers. This is one of the echoes from the mecting of the Army of the Tennessce. PERSONAL AND SOCIAL. Mr. A. M. Gibson, the Washington corre- spondent of the New York Sun, has been aflfict- ed with paralysis of the optic nerve of the right eye. This affliction was superinduced by ex- traordinary mental exertion and extreme over- work whise hastening the_preparation of the cam; book for the Democratic National Committee. There is great danger that this affliction may result in the permancnt luss of the eye. Mr. Gibson has cousulted the most eminent oculists of New York and lhas already undergone the severe ordeal of the Moxa. Judge Vale, of Towa, formerly of the Chroni- cle, has moved into an' clegant new residence, corner of the Vermont avenue and Thirteenth street circle. Gen. and Mrs. Pelouze, who have taken so prominent a position in socicty, have entered their new residence in Army Row. Mr. Adams, of the English Legation, is sdon to be married, it is said, to Miss Palmer, daughter of Medical Dircctor Palmer, of the navy. - The Hon. S. L. Phelps, one of the District Commissioners, will occupy during the winter the old Decatur man- sion, which has so many historical associations. The house if one of the most noted in Lafay- ette Square. It is now the property of Gen. Beale, Minister to Austrin. The Colfax house would not be recognized in its new dress. The crushed and ancient yellow mastic has been re- moved from its front, and the entirc facado transformed into an excellent imitation of a Venetian palace. Neither Sickles nor Schuyler Colfax would recognize their old home in this modern innovation. Mr. Yoshida, the Japanes: Minister, with his ce- ful, peti native wife, have taken a house in Vermont avenue, in one of the most attractive quarters of the city, and will ive many cotertainments during the winter. Miss Jsabella Richardson, daughter of Judge RiLhardson, formerly Secretary of the Treasury, now a Judge of the Court of Claimns, will be married early in November to Alexander P. McGruder, of the United States Navy. The marriage will be strictly private, on actount of the death of Miss Richardson’s mother last sum- mer in Paris. The remains of Mrs. Richardsom, which have arrived here from Europe, were last week interred in the family vault in beautiful Oak Hill Cemetery. Miss Josic Fake, of_ Chicago, will spend the winter with her sister, Mrs.Wyman. E.B.W. NEW YORK. THE CHILDREN. Special Correspondence of The Tribune. ° Now York, Oct. 25.—Time was when the only requirements for children’s clothes were cleanliness and simplicity; but dressing the little ones is now a matter of much moment, and involves the exercise of great discretion and good taste. Never before have beauty and | utility, style and comfort, been so combined in children’s costumes as at present. The rage for combination which distinguishes maturer toilettes has left the garments of the little ones comparatively untouched, and when it does oc- cur the garments are extremely delicate and un- obtrusive, The skirts for larger girls are full-gored, with a very little fullness on the hips, and full gath- ers or pleats in the back. The trimming is ex- ceedingly simple, consisting oftenest of gath- ered or pleated flounces only. Many dresses: both of costly and inexpensive materials”have the skirt perfectly plain, save for one or more rows of the popular Titan, or of tress-braid. One bandsome suit thus trimmed has the skirt well gored and or- namented by six rows of half-inch silver braid, the lowest a finger’s length above the bottom of the skirt. The overdress,-a round tablier, tied behmnd with wide sashes, and the jaunty little sacque, are similarly trimmed. The material of the suit is a fincly finished camel’s-hair, darl navy blue in color. A little round hat, with pointed crown and brim upturned at the left, is ornamented with_folds of navy blue silk and velvet, two ostrich tips, and a carved stecl buckle. A silver cord fimshes the edge of the L ‘leasing and stylish garment in much de- mand at present]is onc that is e?\allv adapted for girls in babyhood and those of even & dozen The front has a loosc, plain sacque- years. 2 h: made of a length to suit the sv:ug?r. The back has a centre scam ies, while at the waist is attached a ;?gxts;ddesydogt; ‘which issewed to the {ronts at the under-arm seams. The top is ornamented by 2 leated sash fastened at cach side, and tied ina arge squarc bow in the centre. This graceful little garment it made in_one piece, sud for ornamentation has a gerpcnd‘xculnr tnm:mng down the front, and is closed with buttons and button-holes. The slecves are as plain as possi- ble, and s little turned-down collar completes it. gFor half-grown girls and even smaller chil- polonaises are quite as popular as for la- dies.” “Both plain and dressy ones are seen, and are worn with both untrimmed and orpamented skirts. A charming little polonaise, Which may also be worn as an entire dress, has long side bodies to correspond. Cress basque seams are 2lso seen, and the_front hangs loosely from the figure. A handsome *ladder” garniture, uated from the shoulders down to the Waist, and from here widening to the hem of the garment, forms an elaborate trimming for the front. A side pleating borders the bottom, and supplies a standing collar for the throat. The trimming of the front is repeated on the simple coat-sieeves, and the polonaise is closed down the’back with buttons and button-holes. A hollow box-pleat in the back, iist below the oted for his high | waist, and judiciousl, £ ! desired. able to be in | mranged drapery, pro- duce a graceful and ciemunt effect in the back. This excellent garmen: may be made of simple material, and with but lictle trimming, while handsome fabrics and etavorate sarme tures make it us dressy as may be - Among the luxuries of the day are d:un'.{ kid gloves for children. In qlmlltg and finish they are quite equn! to those worn by ladies, and tiicy come in sizes to fit the tinfest *tbaby flngers.” In color they sre gen erally ey and brown, both light aud dark shades.” The most expensive gloves [or the children cost §%’and bave three buttons. Less costly ones haye but a sinzle button, and range in price from §1.25 to $1.75. . IN DRESSES PROPER, ‘there has been but littlc change, the great dif- ference between “costumes beng attributable more to the modes of trimming and the com- bination of different modes than to any radical change. And even the most popular modes of trimming partake but sparingly of novelty. Side-pleatings still hold the gencral fancy, bat box-plea XF'H far more showy, divides the honors.” All overdresses and polonaises being made remarkably long, skirts require not so much ornamentation that extends high on the skirt . as some arrange- ment that may producethe best effect in a small space. A dress-skirt illustrating this to a high degree has a six-inch straight flounce made into fine knife-pleating, above which is a bias ruflle twice the width of the former. 'Thisis divided into sections, which are box-pleated, rounded at the loweredge, while at the upper, cach side is finished by a revers which is united by a cord and tassei tied at the top. An old style, lon; obsolete, has again been revived, and meets wit! favor. It consistsin placing upon the skirt seven, nine, or eleven flounces about five inches wide, so arranged that they overlap. The lower edge of these flounces is bandyked, piped, or corded. A most popular mode of ornamenting cashmere or sillzdresses is by means of embroid- ered bands and ruffles to correspond. Hand- some bands, machine-wrought, are procurable at moderate rates, and often successfully chal- lenge detection as not beinz done by hand. Those, of course, that are embroidered by the latter process are trebly expensive, but are vers beautiful and rich. In'wor! :5 them upon vel- vet, chenille s otten employed, with charming cflect, to replace gloss. All'species of flat trim= miogs are extremely popular, galloons, wide braids, and passementeries particularly so. Fringes remain in unabated demand, and are handsomertvery day. The most_elegant ones show headings a5 deep as the pendant portions, and many have double-netted. ones, with smail tassels placed at intervals, while in the fringe itself the tassels are as close together as is prac- ticable. Many bandsome garments ex- hibit two or even three vametics of trim- ming, an elegant and not _unusual combination being feathers and fur. Some ex- gnisitc bands prenared for this purpose have the ur three inches wide, while at spaces of two or three inchesarc placed clusters of feathersin the formof a leaf. For cloth wraps and heayy dol- mans, sacques, ete., woolen fringes are lirgely worn; but a handsomer and merc novel variety of trimming is scen in the beautiful silk gimps. Many rows of these placed close together give an appearance of a rich embroidery, so elabor- ate are some of these designs seen'in the gimp. A novelty are the canvas braids embroidered in wool. “Sometimes for more expensive toi- lettes the canvas itself is wool and silk, and the embroider is done with bright floss silk. his garniture is used on very elegant dresses.cA few superb imported costumes have magnificent Anpflque designs done in velvet. They are generaly palm- leaves of velvet, combined with other leaf varieties cut from silk of most brilliant colors. AMONG THE NUMEROUS HANDSOME COSTUMES now to be seen, the following are deserving of special natice. A rich purple silk has the skirt trimmed_with side-pleatings and puffs of the same. The cuirass basque and front of the overskirt are of velvet of the ehade of the silk. Both are cdged with a netted silk fringe, headed by a handsome *“moss” trimming ofi‘w same color.

Panris, Oct. 16.—In preparing winter styles Fashion has retained some which made their ap- ‘pearance early in the autumn, although many novelties are seen. Among these, the **Man- tau Parisien,” is a garment of the Princesse or- der, which extends to the trimming of the$kirt beneath, and is generally of matelasse, trim- med and Jined with fur. fts peculiarity consists in the arrangement of the Dolman sleeves, ‘which are shaped to assimilate with that of the coat, and the manner in which they arc placed on it forms ‘ample drapery over the arms. and gives a graceful finish to the back. ¢ The paletot-Hatman® fs demi- adjusted to the figure, and only differs from the Louis XV. style by the straight, pointed ponts, instead of the masculine, coat-shaped ones, lately so much in vogue. The *rotonde-Main- tenon” has immense fannel-shaped sleeves, ex- tending from an ordinary-sized_arnfhole uearuI'{ to thelength of the garment, but its eccentric appearance does not commend it. oilettes for children are seen in dark blue cloth, embroidered in red chenille, whilst the new ‘ Calabrais™ hats which nccompany these costumes are of blue felt, trimmed with feathers of the scarlet ibis. It was supposed Fashion would long since have exhausted itself in these loud combinations of colors, but her persistency still presents them to us, even more eonspicu- ously than heretofore. THE SACRIFICE OF BEAUTY to eccentricity in the world of fashion has in- duced 8 number of ladies in London to form an association, and to offer prizes of great value for toilets which exhibit the greatest novelty, combined with elezance and utility. It 13 styled the * Ladles’ Costume Competition,’ and is under the_auspices of the Directors of the Alexandra Palace. Six prizes bave been awarded, and the recipients well deserved the honor. Oneof these desiens was a reception dress of rosccolored velvet and silk damasse, whose long, pointed bodice and broad train closely resembled those scen in the ortralts of the beautiful Fraucoise de ofx. The ' skirt hung naturally, without auy appearance of dragging back,, and the fullness behind, spreading in a long fan- shaped train, displayed a grace that is never seen in the undulatory, serpentine affairs that have latcly been so much admired. A strect costume was also awarded a prize for exquisite finish in every detall, and the unusual combi- nation of beauty and utility therein displaycd, whilst all were remarked for their strict adapta- tion to the occasions for which_they were de- signed. This contest between Fashion and the “Tadies’ Costume Gompetition is unfortunately in Englang, and therefore may not affect the former in lher stronghold Jiere, unless the Parisian ladies who "are interested from a similar association in their own city. AMONG THE MAGNIFICENT TOILETTES ordered by the daughter of the Duke de Morny, who is to " marry the Marquis de Corsans, one composed of alternate stripes of sky-blue saiia and point-lace insertion issingularly handscme. ‘The satin bands embroidered in leaves and ten- rils of silk and gold, and the vaporous ace, combine so exquisitely, they seem like a diapha- nous and golden mist, almost indescribable in ité beauty. This forms the Princess polonsise, whilst broader bands of the same designs are ar- ranged alternately with the lace for lounces on the satin skirt. The corsage decollete and short sleeves are embrofdered in a similar manner,and edged with old point lace. Costumes from . Bengal are now conspicuous at the Grand Hotel, where Muntazamal, the wealthy nabob, and a numerous retinue have ar- rived. “The accoutrements and surroundings which they have decmed it necessary to trans- Eun hither renders it surprising that the na- ob’s favorite elephant did not accompany himn, to allow the indulgence of his favorite manner of locomotion during his visit here. It isstated these foreigners still’ adbere to thelr old nation- al dress in their own country, when within their houses, which is certainly a"1a mode in Paris re-i garding color. It consists of different pieces of | brilliant colored cloth, twisted around the body with the ends tucked in the folds, but dprabably they will return with the enlightened ideas of pull-backs, and avail themselves of a means so favorable to thelr ideas of delineating the hu- man form. ‘This distinguished %:art_v attended the Chate- let to witness the first performance of the ““Seven Castles of the.Devil,” and also went in raptures over * La Belle Heiene,” at the Vaude- vilie. In fact. the latter seems to be the great- est place of attraction in Paris, and seats and stands are engazed along time previously to gain aceess there. Notwithstanding the erand performance at the Opera, the Lyrlque,thc Comedie Francaise, with ““Rome Vaincu ”” and its unrivaled caste, and other magnificent representations, this hackneyed opera bouffe, ““ La Belle Helene,” is now victorious over all.

Eren the best Sunday-schoof scholars (néls the Philadelphia Bulletin) sometimes are so in- terested in earthly things that the spiritual meaning of their lcssons escapes them. There was_Miss Slumm’s smartest boy. They were studying the history of Solomon, and Miss Stumm wanted to show that, in spfte of all his splendor and wisdom, bis lapse into idolatr in his old age left him without the pure_reli; ous devotion needful to perfect Seme. So Miss Slumm said: “And now, William, Solomon had more wisdom and knowledge than any one else in the world ; was far richer than any other King; he built the most magnificent temple that was everseen; helived in a gorzeous palace; “he had fine clothes, and horses. and chariots, and thousands of servants, and ail the other monarchs of the earth looked upon him with admiration and envy. And yet gfg: Was not perfectly happy. He nceded but one thing to give him absolute contentment and felicity, angwhm. dn{yflu think it was, William?” Will- iam pauscd for 2 moment, and then suddenly exclaimed: “Iknow!” Miss Slumm said: “And what was it?” “Why, he wanted to learn howto whistleon his fingers.” Then am all at once went down to the foot of theclass. He had been putting in his spare time during the preceding week practicing that musical accomplishment,” and he thought Sol- omon certainly must have had yedrnings in the same direction. P —— Antiquity and Durability of Brick. ‘The palaces-of Crwsus, Mausoleus, and At- talus, and other extremely ancient buildings, were constructed of hard-burnt red brick. At the decline of the Roman Empire brick-making fell, to a great extent, into.disuse, and was revived again by the Italians after a lapse of o some centuries. The medizval, secular, and ecclesiastical- architecture of Italy sbounds with fine ex- amples of brick and terra-cotta work, and decorations of great beauty have been executed in those materials. Brick-making arrived at its_greatest E‘erfecfinn in the rm% of Henry ., in England, and someof the finest known specimens of ornamental bri®work constructed in that reign are still the subject of tion, and are well preserved from décay. On rebuilding London after the great fim in 1668, brick was the material universally adopted for the new erections, and laws regu- lauing the sizes, thickness of wall, and projec- tions, were at that time made and enforced for the better protection of the community. Much of the brick work remaining in London in build- ings erected in the latter part of the seven- teenth century and beginning of the eighteenth is admirably executed and in good preservation. e ———— i ® chi: said lIx-I Sq&ibb. :::ly' this ’xsnorninz, poor topple, the cotton man, isa com- lete wreclllngs Ilgw even his old boots soled un- er the hammer yesterdsy,” -city limi REAL ESTATE.

The demand is largely " for building purposes, hence there is not so much of the low rate of interest as was current a few weeks ago. The 7-per cent loans were for large amotnts on improved property.

Itisnot with a vicw of solving this little conundrum that allusion is made to it here, but of making a suggestion which is not only ;enment to the matter, but, if precedents areof value, of vital interest to tl who, having no other use to which to put this pro- perty, are busily engaged in paying interest and taxes on it or swearing because they can't. It mahyseem far-fetched to say inthis connection that human nature, like horse nature or sheep nature, is gregariously inclined, and that_the exceptions to this rule are either the result of advantage or of umFomry decision. The his- toriol all great cities bas proven this. Men without occupation seldom go to the councrg. bat, bxrdlivnwilhmt exception, to a metropolis. It is only intended here to state this general principle, and not to, enlarge mpon it, but to confine the fact to its relation to suburban property. Under the stimnlas of many beautiful towns immediately a| cago have been started. terial advantages, by use of work .and money, lfieen ma.gu delightful omes, and as such have been A very great number of the houseuofg‘: lec:e' towns have becn abandoned by their owners, I person were to_judge of Chicago only by the relative proportion of oceupation to the im- provements in these localities ho wonld natar ally infer that at least half of the population of Cook County had departed. Yet the ] o e the city and the increase in the number v, . habitants to a half million is capable of definita proof. The matter is all summed up in the fact that many people have made the experi- ment of living in the suburbs, and have be. come dissatisfied with it, and where the power bas existed, have relinquished their homes and returned to the city. The maln question, there- fore, is how all of this property, in the lizht of experience, is to be made available. It cer- tainly cannot dircetly depeud o the growth of the city; that is to say, no one expects the city limits of Chicazo to emprace Ravenswood, May- wood, or Washington Heights. The inflaence ofits zrowth would bardly justifs an expecta: tion of realizing the prices at which it was held three Iu:s or more since from that cause alone, The idea that on the revival of a demand for city property, suburban property must also ba in requust, is not tenable, ueither is it zenerally expected; but it is expected that by thesama processes which brought this class of rcal estate in favor before it will reach and pass its former figures, 11f such should be the case, and it would by no means be impossible, the same cv:ulngfl! ut Without many ma- t!hhe liberat €y bav sil uul!ol{s ro: trous results wonld 1ollow, because the . main foundation for the rise would be speculative. It is not intended to dcery spefulation wholly, for in some of its features itis su closely allied ta legitimatc healthy growth as to be inseparable from it. The only object aimed at is to cone vince, if it be possible, the owners of property inthese suburoan towns of the necessity of making it mainly independent of Chicago by the location of improveinents which will not only invite purchasers and dwellers, but kee them. There are some localities which have ale ready recognized and acted on this idea, and which must reap the full benefit of their efforts in the not distant future. Washington Heiahts is layiz the foundation of prosperity in the cducational institutions which are al- ready in operation and being Mgushcd forward ‘to - completion. Mayw has 8 successful manufacturing establishment which is enabling the original projectors of that town to confidently hold their property. South Chicago, with its ‘manufactorics, lumber-yards, dockage, and railroad facilities, has in itself the elements of a remarkable erowth, whatcever the embarrassments of the present may be. And, as bearing on this same point, it may he said that unimproved property at the Union Stock-Yards 1s substantially the only non-income real estate for which satisfactory cash offers are now being made. If, therefore, this necessity for enter- prises in suburban towns which shall secure and retain inhabitants can be fully appreciated and’ ected on, there is no reason wiiy a revival of the business of real estate should not create an in- uiry for outside as well as for clty property; , however, the necessity is disregarded, owners must wait for another tide of wild speculation to enable them to put on the shoulders of others the burdens they have been carryini.
