An Improvement in the Business of the Loan Market. Funds in Request for Building Enter- prises---Payments Prompt. The Sales of the Week Indicate a Quiet Market. The Recorder's Office---New Subdivis- jons---Real Estate in New 3 York ——— There was more done the past week than for some time past. Some good loans were nego- tinted at remunerative figures for agents. The market is free from spasms, and appears to Dave settled down to a steady condition. There is still a fair demand for money for building purposes, at 9 per cent. Improvements are going steadily forward, notwithstanding the lateness of the scason. The rumors of war in Europe, and the threatencd trouble in this country over the Presidential election, lave not materially affected the supply of loanable tunds. Some timid creatures are holding off, but there are a sufficient number of others to fill the vacuum who are not scared by trifles. There is but little money changing hands at 7 per cent, the meeded sccurity for these low- priced funds becoming scarcer. Payments arc very good, and the promptness in this important particular is an incrensm%!i)l' promincnt item in the week’s business. e important trans- actions of the past week were as 1ollows: Morgan etreet, 60 feet cast, front, near Monroe street, and 699 West Juckfon streer, $7,000, threc years at 9 per cent. Five lots at Washington Heights, $3,000, five years at 8 per cent. Indizna avenue, 25 feeteast front by1G1 fect, ‘between Twenty-first and Twenty-secoud streets, $4,000 at § per cent.

A_KAY OF HOPE, T the Fditor of The Iribune. _ Cmicago, Nov. 18.—Judging solely by the Grevord of transfurs of propeity which ire made from week to week, it would ‘seem that there is not only great dullness in the real-¢ state busi- ness of this county, but that, in com- parison with the iransactions of the entire v there is wvo prospect for an carly revival. In the light of such faets, and in view alsoof the fuct that -the little Rturies which have been oceasioned by the location of husiness houses or manufacturing interests in certain lo- calitics have been followed by u calm which seemed perwanent, it appears all bit impossible to offerany encouragement to those wuo have Dbeen hoping to sell the property which they have been 56 long carrying. WhilZ it is not the time to create vxpectutions of pn immediate revival of real-estate busmess grueraily, there are certain indications which note a returning confidence in certain dlasses of property. One of these indications is the inquiry for clivap lots in the immediate suburbs whicl DOW avail- able for building purpuses, and which must be favorably affected by the growth of the city. These lots ure being sought fur by people of moderate means who are in rewcipt of salaries, and who believe that in the pichase of a pros- pective home they will also refeive in the appre- n of the value of the landa return equal at least to the usual rates of intevest. The prices offered are fu mavy cases far below what was the estimated value of ucre property before the pauic,—for purchasers of al] tlusses are aware of the depression as well as deakvers, and demand consequunt reductions. Another indication is in the inquiry for im- proved residence property ranging trom 32,000 to &,000. The low prices of labor and material for the past two years led tu st number of contracts between owners of Lind and builders, by which the former tesk 8 second mortgage for the greater portioy of tie purchase-money, and allowed the builder to borrow enough money to practically cover the construction of the house. Very much of this property the original owner kas been obliged to take back to protect himself from the prior incumbrances. This fact (and it is a very general one) has re- gulted in there being thrown upon the market a large number of brick and stone-front resi- dences, newly built, never occupied, with im- provements end conveniences Wwhich the practical study of home comfort is con- stantly developing, and at prices varying from $3,000 to 86,000, While it is true that 1n the present condition of rents it is cheao- er torent than to buy, yet the universal desire to own a home, and ti belief that the vawue of improved property, must increase with better prices forlabor and material, and with an in- quiry for real cstate, is already making itself manifest, though in a quict way, as above noted. 1t would certainly seem thet during the coming winter, and certainly with the opening of spring, there will be no difienlty in disposine of this class of property, and though at prices which may not be profitable in all cases to the owners, yeton terms which will, in many cases, return to them their investmeut, and; at all events re- lieve them from much of the anxiety which they Lave experienced. - W.0.C. . THE RECORDER’S OFFICE. The Recorder’s office will be moved Dee. 15 from its present quarters to & more central and convenient location on Madison strect, in Mr. James Walsh's new building, between State and Dearborn strects.

REAL ESTATE IN NEW YORE, The following is clipped from the ‘Real Estate Record: ? v While the bal € ot proceedings at the Exchange Saleeroom consists almost without interruption of foreclosure sales, there have been of late some notable privato transactions, showing a/siight re- vival of nctivity, which will no doubt-be kept up ill the end of the year, unless checked either by uncertainty a3 to our political future or as yet un- foreeen events, Iirst, we must call atteation to several sales of private residences, recently made, in the fushionaole quarter of the city Mr. Jex hay sold s house, No. 18 East Fortieth street, to Mr. Low, realizing nearly §70,000. Judge Hilton has also disposed of the Sherwood House, which has Leen kept vacant nearly two years, realizing for it §110,00y.

There was another victim to the tender passion’ in those days who aiterward grew famous—a young gentiman who eventually became Presi- Jent of the United States, * apostle of Democra- ¢y” and “Sage ot Monticello ?—Alr, Thowas Jefferson. It s hard to contemplate this calm, collected, unexcitable man of polities and suivntist in the light of a lover; but Jeflerson was, in his early years, a very susceptible young gentleman. Weare not leit to conjecture on this subject. We bave under his own bhand— in his letters published by his literary executor in his “lite¥—a most amusing account of his love affairs when he was a student at William and Mary College. Nothing more rollicking, gy, even extravagantly comic, could be imagiu- Gdthun certain passages in these epistics—iot- ably that in which he describes at length and in detail how Satan cume through a hole in the roof while be was aslcep, aud, taking the form of a ray, stole his *gemmy worked garters.” His fair ¢uslaver—to whow ne constantly refers in these Jetters—was Miss Rebecea Burwell, toe aaughter of a gentlemun of Gloucester. He writes about her to his fricnd John Page, Esq., afterward Governor of Virginia, which office he too was to bold. - He is nervously fearful that somebody will discover who his sweetneart is; su, after the fashion of the time, he bestows upon ler a name extracted from the dictionary of love, Belinda. Every fair onc then was Chloe, or Daphne, or Florella; Miss Burwell was Belindu. But Belinda, the suitor fears, is 1ar too plain. His secret will be penetrated, nis movements be watched, his love discovered. Tuerefore he trauslates Belinda into Latin, and calls the young lads Camypana-in-dic —* Bell-in- duy!”? Greex letiers were also uccasionally employed td wrap up from prolane glances the aear one's name, and it was even written back- veards in Greek, and becomes Aduiieb! We read of these follies of the afterward famous man with ‘a_certain amused intercst, and they scem to brine the sage of Monticello and “apostle_of Democrac a great deal nearer to us. He is 2 man like ourselves, not u mere historic figure. He is not writing Presi- dential messuges yet, but dancing with Belinda at the Apolio”—that famous room in the avern where the youth grown to man- to vrganize, though toc committee of correspondente, resistance to the Briiish Crown, He is a boy, «nd is indisputaoly in love in this goud year of 1763, and e courts and sighs, and Tries 10 capture his pretty little sweethcarti—as i¢ ic is said, as sne was beautitul; and, like his wriend Georige Washington, fails. The young ludy wizl not be captared. There is much reason to conclude that she gave Mr. ‘Thomas Jefferson ‘~ the shipper,” sending him adrift the most un- happy of lovers, 1or we soon find him writing in the saddest stram about bis prospects; planuing a sadboat voyage tu Lurope, and a return “through the Lritish provinees to the north- ward,” aud _proposiug schemnes for the future, unconnected with his dear Campang-in-die!” This lady afterward married Mr. Jacquelin Ambler, tue beloved and respected Treasurer of Virgini, and it is & somewhat notable fact that Miss Mary Cary, who discarded Washington, was umted to Mr. EGward Ambler, brother of the gentleman who married Miss Bebecea Bur- well, who discarded Jetlerson! The dii majores or that epoch were unfortunate, and scem to ue saddest experiences, 1z goes by favor.” Aunother coicidence between the matrimonial fates o Washingto: Jeiferson was to pre- sent itsell. Rejected by Behnda, Tom Jefferson, us he was calied by his friends, betook himselr 0 y seeking m dusty tomes and spiration soise salve for his grievous wound. The day came, however, when Cupid again asserted his sway, Jetferson made the acquaintance of a beautiful youny widow=—uote that W rton, disuppoiuted m love also, met with a lovely widow—Mr. Jetferson’s “ Iriend ! Leing o certain Martha Skelton (the Murtha being un additional coincidence), u wealthy vune dame ot ~The Forest ! in Charles Ci une heiress hie bore off from every com- petitor.

On the next 2y the proom aud his bride set out in their couch for Monticello, then in provess of erection on uspur of the Blue Ridge. At % Blenhcim,? the house of Col.

But this did not abate the ga) of the beautiful roung bride.

A STIRRING TALE OF LOVE. Lest Sunday they concluded to take 2 stroll. The day was lovely. They wandered iuto a grand old forest, and gathered the leaves of russet, scarlet, and brown that strewed the ground, and bound them together in fantastic wreaths. Their young hearts overflowed with joy. They found a resting-place bencath a towering oek, and while reclining on the still green sward, they watched the eddying leaves, the chattering squirrels, or listened to the pat- ter of falling nuts; a pleasant monotone agree- able to the car. All things must have a change. it might have been the witchery of the hour; it might have been a subtle, unseen influence that braced him up, but be it .as it may, he was braced. Catching her lily white hand in his, just after he had transferred a kernel of a hick- ory nut to her mouth on the end of a hairpin, he began: « Fannie, I know not how to say what I wish to say—you must have scen by my attentions to you—ghat I meant—something, and that some- thing is—neither more nor less than your own sweet self.” 5 What dost thou mean, Henrico? Thy voice is like the sound of ‘flutes upon the waters, but thou shouldst address me as it becomes one in thy station todo. Ipray thee put away ihat savage look. Thou meanest me no harm, yet I would rathier thou wouldst not look sud act so strange. Speak thy mind.” . #Without going any farther then, Fannie, I love you, and would Liave you wed me. Speak; my fate depends upon your answer. I know thicre is a wide gulf between us in what_peuple term social status, yet Iam a man, aud there are few who can boldly make that assertion and haye the truth to back them.” “ Henrico, thou mistakest me. Iknow that thou art my superior in everything, for if thou wert not 1 would never have thee. 'Tis true my parents have sternly forbidden me to have aught to do with thee on account of varfous wild freaks of thine, reports of which bave reached their ears, I would not have tncc to be a woman, dreading to come in contact with rough 1nen for fear of hurt. No! go be a man;in- dulge in thy wild frolics so it harm thee not. Tlilove_ thee nooe the less for being a l‘:ml:iy, wayward man—but pardon, Henrico, for this di~ pression. 1have a favor to ask of thee whic thou canst doj when done, my hand is thine, wy heart you have.” “ Name it.” 1 Not now; Ifeelthou wilt deem it unmaid- enly in me.”” - +{You can do nothing unmaidenly in my eyes, Fapnie. Name your rcrwcsc—umc is a flower that blooms surrounded by eternal snows upon the Alpine heights, which has never yet been plucked save by some hardy chamois hunter, and many a one has lost his life in trying to se- cure that prize for his fair mistress. "I'd brave the mountain torrent, the avalanche with all its terrors, for that flower, if by dving so I could win you.” L!;“"")' no, Henrico; I would not ask that of ee. “\ell, Fannie, thereis a city of the dead, Necropolis, the ruler of which, seated on a throne of skulls, holds in one fleshless hand a key. The brave mortal that possesses himself of it has secured himself eternal happiness. The way to that place Is dreary and cold. You pass through dungeons lighted by the fitful glare of the basilisk’s eyes. The walls are moist and damp with slime that oozes {from the aping fissures, sreen and loathsome. The nloated toad, the hissing viper, and crawl- ing, writhing reptiles of names unknown, fonl and sluggish with their feast on rot- ten and decaying corpscs, on every side dispute your way. Noisome vapors kiss your heated cheek. Pools of clotted blood and gore and reeking comxgtion meet your startled gaze. When you enter that city you see _the fantastic shapes of skeletons that strive tobar your way: their teeth rattling like castancts, us they speak defiantly of visiting vengeance on the rash mor- tal thiat has dared invade their domains. Itis even'said they smile—how ghastly must it be!— and’cven trip it blithely in their unfleshed selves to/the music of phantom spirits, and hit their Dbdirless heads together to keep time. In the ‘entre of thiscity, on his throne, holding in his ight haad an infant’s unroofed head filled with Dloud, sits Achitole, the jolly ruler of Necropolis. From out his ribs peep black aad yellow-spotted adders, and a ¢rown of scorpions never ceasing travel around_his head, inthe eye-sockets of which two glow-worms, ever and anon emit a baleful gleam. In his left hand is held the key, and behind him tinkles the fountain of Ncpen- the, where sad-cyed spirits are_cver tryingto bear a goblet of that forgetful draught to some sorrowing soul on earth, sud as often as they try, fail. - Tell me, Fanuie, is this the request you have to make of me? I will attempt it for your sake.” “ Henrico, I have often thought that thou wert mad, and now I know it. Marry you? Not if rou were the last man on carth; you erazy fool. - You take me right home!”? Henrico cast one look into the heartless creature’s face, and went howling through the woods. She snook the wrinkles out of her dress, took & papaw in cach band, and struck for home. Tt was feared that Henrico was lost, but last night he made his apoearance_in the upper part of town. He had i)u]lcd off his pants, tied a string around each fez, and had them full of hickory-nuts swung over his shoulders. Those two souls don’t have a single thought now, just like they used to,and those two hearts don’t beat as one now, just like they used to.— AMissouri Brunswicker. FOREIGN FORTUNE-HUNTERS. The notice of the arrival at New Yorlk of Earl Roseberry reminds me of the number of Ameri- can girls who have been jilted by foreigners on account of their lack of fortune. Therearemore than one of the fair belles of Washington who have een similarly treated. Oue "young lady even went 60 far as to change her religion in order to remove what the family called an ob- jection. . Her lover departed with the promise of returning. She has never scen him since; but shortly after his arrival in France he wrote to announce his marriage to a lady whom his father had selected for him on account of the dower she brought. Six years azo Count Turenne, one of the attaches of the French Legation, plighted his troth to a beautiful girl in Georgetown, The Count met with an ac- cident in his childhood that bhas dwarfed his proportions, and produced a lameness from which he will never recover. Notwithstanding these defects, the young lady preferred him 10 all other suitors. "The Count’s father refused his sanction to a marriage without the necessary settlement being wade. This the young lady’s father cannot do, Wwithout impoverishing his aree family; aud, much as they would like to llied to the great house of Turenue, they are not disposed to make so great a sacrifice. ¢ Count was so jealous of his, betrothed that while hie was here he would not permit her to see any company, even with ber sisters, in her mother’s parlor. . When he returned to Europe, five years aro, be laid the same injunction upon her.” She has been a recluse all this time, while he enjoys socicty in Paris and Rome. Every siX months it is annonnced that the marringe is to take place, but © He comes not,” she cries. Perhaps be is w e for nis father’s deatly, Most people beiieve that he is in staut ahd that be no lunger desiresZhis father’s consent. ~His letters and prescnts continue to arrive, and it may be a case of true love, but, if all is true that is said of such alliances, the deserted girls are the most fortu- nate. It is alleged thut these foreign gentle- men rule their wives and speak to them very roughly. That don’t suit our free-spoken, fu- dependent girls. They ure educated to believe themselves the cqualsof any man, and if there is to be any yielding it must come from the hus- band. Thuy expect to be treated with ence and respect, and to be allowed a large lit erty. It is eaid that the most fruitful source of trouble is the children. The mother wishes to care for them berzelf, as do all good American such trouble, and so they confide to nurse th'e care of these littlc ones, and deny the mother’s right to interfere. When the children_are old enough to be educated, the difference of opinion is greater, and gives rise to coolness and indif- ference between husband and wife.

We bave all hoard of the rustic bride who wandered away tga wooded nook where, shel- terod by the toliaire of the trees and £hrubs, she arrayed herself in her bridul Tobes, usiog the waters of the brook for a mirror. We have Teard, too, of the backwoods bride who, sealing a Indder to the loft of the one-room loz-cabin, adjusted her dead-fine fixins in which to mett her betrothed, and we have all heard of the finely-appointed and luxuriously-furnished boudoirs in which wealthy brides are dressed in robes of miraculous fineness and exquisite delicacy; but it bas been rescrved for a Spencer County bride to reduce a fire-proof safe to her service as a dressingroom. The = story goes that o young couple visited 2 county oflice a few days ago to procure a license, and, while they were waiting the ar- rival of the proper functionary to issue it, the bride asked lcave to enter “ the closet ™ to fix her dress. The request was granted, and then *1t occurred to the officer that perhaps it misht be better to have her repair to the Sherifl’s resi- dence to arrange hertoilet. He therefore asked lcave of the Sheriff, and, recelving his_consent, returned and was about to inform the lady that he bad found a more convenicnt place for her use, when to his surprise he found bride and bridegroom within the depthg of the fire:proof vault, the lady bnsy adjusting her bridal robes and the bridegre. 1 _standing by and handing them to her onc by one’as she proceeded Wwith the operation.

He was arobust youthof two- and-seventy, while sho was blooming from the effects of the beams of forty summers. The babe,which crowed from beneath the folds of an ampie blanket, scemed to scarcely have secn more than3years of the sinfulness of this world. Not seeming to recognize the presence of the newspaper fiend, the conversation which had evidently been begun in the car was con- tinued thus: * Now, Jerry Hammerslic, you an’ me hey been married nigh onto twenty year, an’ yore bobby hes allus ben fer me tew dress plain.

TOO MUCIH PARTRIDGE. A men named Courbalon is befere a Paris court charged with the death of his wife under extraordinary circumstances. He discovered an intimaey existing between hesself and one Joscph Partridge. Partridge fled, impelled by several vigorous kicks, and the lady implored pardon. “Pardon, obt yes,” replied Courbalon ina sinister tone. The next dayat noon the servants placed on the table six’ roasted part~ ridges, which in France are much larger than in the United States. As soon as his wite sat down he locked the door and drew from his ocket a revolver. ‘“Madam,” he said, “the our for your - punmishment has come. You have dishonored me by means of a man . named Partridge, and here are six of his namesakes for you to diue on. You will/please to eat them to the last morsel. If you cgase doing 8o, or if you at- tem‘n to givé an alarm, I will blow your brains out.” Tle unhappy woman, feeling the iinpos- sibilty of accomplishing the task without Killing hersclf, fell on her knecs and implored his pit, Courbalon’s only reply was to cock his revolver, and she therefore commencead her task. ‘I for- got to say that I forbid your drinking while you cat,” said Courbalon. ~The poor woman, alter finishing the_secoud partridge, showed sigms of illness. She lifted her sad eyes to her husband with an imploring expressiou, but he pointed the pistoi iuexorably at her head. In two hours. and a half the six birds were eaten; at 9 o’clock that night the woman died of indigestion. NO MORE FOOLING.
