10 THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY. MARCH 18, IS7T7—NSIX'TEEN PAGEN FOR SALE. MISCELLANEOUS. REAL ESTATE. . Almostithe Dullest Week in the Loan Market Since the i Fire. T Builders and Other Borrowers Wait- ing for .Spring---Payments Better. Small Amount of Sales for the Week ~The Principal Transfers. Eents in Chicago and New ¥York--- Need of More Apartment- Houses. ‘The past week shows the smallest amount of actual transactions noted since the great fire. Rueal-cstate operations are largely infuenced by the state of the weather. Since the 1st of March the metcorologigal arrangements have been exerrable, and have produced a deadening effect upon real estatt intestments and loans. Dur- ing February builders aud speculstors were roused by the promise of au early spring, and applied to the loan agents’ offices in large numbers. For the present their enterprises uave been frozenup. Thereisa zood promise of basiness as soon as spring fairly opens. The prices for money continue at sbout the same Tate, 8 per cent being about the usual fipure. <A lower rate of intercst must be accompanied *with extraordinary inducements. Payments whave vastly improved, and show an advancement wver new loans. The following transactions of the past week igive a fair indication of the state of the market: West Taylor street, 50 feet, north front, 100 Efeet west of Desplaines street, $5,000, at 9 per weot. i West Madison street, 40 feet, north front, 80 Meet west of Canal street, $14,000; five years at per cent.

There is & large supply of first-class 1wostory and basement new lLiouses on the West Side that can be had st $25 a month and up: Chicago is to-day y the cheap- cst city in the United States to live in. A CHANGE IN BUILDING SOCIETY PROCEDURL. The Pultic Ledger of Philadelphia of the 26th inst. describesa proposod supplement to the and Loan Association law of Pennsyl- vania. Itauthorises anew procedure. which has TPeen ld'nagfd brsom:uf the Philadelphia so- cieties to be an improvement on the . bresent way of doing business. Its advavtages are its simplicity and the fact that the profits received by the socicty at cach meeting are actually earned at that time. APARTMENT HOUSES, One of the best and most expeusive flat-houses in New York bas just zone into bankruptey, and severat othdrs are acknowledged to be failures, There are two causes for their troubles. They have been poorly planned and ace too high- priced. For four or five roows on "au upper loor, with little or no sunlight and few con- veni §2,500 or $3,500 has Leena usual price “in fashionable localities. Brooklyn has done better. A large number of houses has been built in that city, and divided into well- lighted and comfortable flats, renting at from $25 to $50 amonth, A great defect in.-most attempts at building flats has been the publicity of the halls. The Amenican is enough of an Anclo-Saxon to insist on having his home en- tirely to himsell. The apartinent-houses built in Chicago on the proper plau lave been a” success, and are very popu- lar. There is room in Chicagzo for anumber of flat houses of the genuine French sort, ‘or better yet of the French flat, Amoricanised with elevaiors, ash-shoots, steam heat in the halls, ete. The vacant territory bor- dering on Wabash avenue, north of Eldridge court, would bea good place for half a dozen such apartment houses. IRON FRONT BUILDINGS. The fron front building is as Gooduhrxcl:, and so accepted by the Board of Underwriters, provided the iron “is filled in with brick. Touv often the {ront is not backed up with brick, but the plastering is put on with an open space be- tween itsclf and the iron, thus making a contiu- uous openingthe whole width of the buildin:e. from cellar toroof, 10 serve as a chitney for fire when it breaks out. This is the ordinary method, and_two instances have lately oceurred showing its dangers. One (at St- Louis) was the rapid destruction of a new and elegant store, erected but little over a year since, at a cost of $120,000. This was reduced in some twenty minutes to a ruined heap of “old iron,” destroying in this brief spacethe preciousstucks of merchandise valued at haif a million of dol Jars intrusted toits keeping. The second in- stance is theburning of thic Awmerican Watch Company’s building in Bond street; and the Tapidity of the spread of the fire through this othel substantial structure can doubtless be traced in _great measure to the faulty con- struction of the iron front, With its continuous flue-like spaces. BUILDING IN NEW YORK. Building in New York _is reported telerably active, The cheapness of real cstate, labor,und materials have given it ab impulse. The favor- ite region is that east of Central Park,—brown stone is the prevailing style. Thehouscs now put up are a5 a rule moderate priced. RENTS IN NEW YORK. 1t is announced that all the Astor rents areto be rednced 10 per cent on May 1. Landlords as 2 rule are getting little more than enough to cover taxes, insurance, and repairs. There is a Leavy movement into the suburban towns. French flats range high and are in great de- mand, but the exodus from the American flats is extraordinary, People find en too public; the privacy of a home is in great part destroyed. ‘Then the landlords are not sufficiently critical in picking their tenants. The rents of business offices have depreciated fully 33 per cent sud are very low. CUBRENT GOSSIP. . A LITTLE LONGER. A little Tonger the winds shall blow From the still white billows of frozen seas, — Shall slfil;k through the branches of naked trees, And heapihe valleys with hills of snow. A little longer the land shall lie Corpee-like, silent, wrapped in a shroud, ‘While storms hold wake like a drunken crowd, A flerce, wild rout—bat the end is nigh. A deathless heart fn the frozen breast, Far out of reach of frost or storm, ‘Throbs with a beat as soft and warm. As the palse of & babe in'its rosy rest. A little longer the Winter-night— ‘The silent sleeper shail wake at morn, Shall wake and ing, with joy new-barn, Wreathed with violets, crosned with light.

New York World. An application has been made fn the Surro- gate’s Court in the matter of the uardianship of Bijou Heron. During the latter part of her life Matilda Heron Ippolnbedma number of guardians for her child,—most'of them infor- mally, and seemingly without any serious thought as o the consequences. Among the persons so appointed was Dr. White, the phy- sican of the late Alexander T. Stewart. At one time Dr. White was & warm friend of Miss Heron, but they afterwards quarreled, and she weant 80 far a8 to forbid the mention of his name in her bearing. Dr. White, however, now sccks to obtain possession of Bijou, and has applied to the Surrogate for authority to act as guard- ian. Trayoor was also appoioted guardian some three years ago, but he does not desire to act unless Bijou wishes him o do so. ‘The only other partics interested are Mrs. Anastasia Davidson, of Philadelphia, Bijou’s cousin, and Mrs. Dr. Gearge F. Carey, with ‘whom Bijou is now living. Tnquiry at the house of Dr. Carey eliclted the following facts: Bijou, who has been very ill since the death of her motber, is very much ieved at the contest over the guardianship. he will be 14 years old on the 1st of Septem- ber, and then she will be competent by law to choose her own guardian. In the mcanwhile she wants her cousin, Mrs. Davidson, to_act in that capacity, and desires to be allowed to live with Mrs. Carey and to continue her profes- sional career. 1t appears that Bijou s greatly afraid that attempts will be made to her from the stage and put her to school. She in- sists that she is not overworked. She is learning French and Ttalian, bezun under ber mother'a tuition; Mme. Maretzekisteaching ber to play the harp; and she is already far advanced in the study of English and music. Two weeks before Heron died she said to Mrs. Carey, who was watching at her bedside, “Yon can swear for me that I leave Bijou her own mistress and ber own_guardian.” ~ Another time she told Bijou: “If anything happens to me I want you 1o 7o to the Careys.” Commenting upon these expressions of her mother's wishes, Bijou says: “And now I am sure they might leave me alone.” ‘The Surrogate, baving all this testimony be- fore him, has taken the matier under advise- ment. In the meanwhile Mrs. Davidson has ex- ressed her willinguess to act as guardian of Ecr cousin, and to leave her with Mrs. Carey. Mr. Allizer and Mr. Traynor have also appeared betore the Surrogate and testified substantially to the fucts as above stated. Bijou Is resolute in her intention to remain on the stage. and to continue for the present” at the Union Square Theatre, where shie is engaged for the season. A FAIR OFFER. Dettoit Free Press. A man who appeared to have just struck the town yesterday boarded a Michizan avenue car, and as he rolled along he began cating o big apple. Pretty €oon a piece of the fruit went down his windpipe, and he coughed like a horse. In his sirugiles the piece was blown &\:z‘ and. it struck a woman who sat opposite in ¢ eye. “You at brute!” she shouted, as she brushed 1Fof. ! He_ coughed snd coughed, and his eyes rolled and his face grew red, but as soon as he could et his breath b shoved out onc of his big cow- ide boots and sai ‘““Sorry, ma’am—purely accidental, and I'm willing you shoald spit on my foot to make it all square.” It was a fair offer, but she turned away and continued to feet mad. SCRIMMAGE IN A CHURCH. According to the Reading (Pa.) Eagle, a rather lively skirmish occurred in that town on last Sunday evening, the theatre of the disturbance being the Chureh of the 4 Algemeine Brueder in Christo.” Apout a year ago Messrs. Leaman and Matthews were ordained as preachers in the denomination. Recently the Rev. Mr. Scagrist, the founder of the sect, wrote to the Rev. Will- iam Schaeffer, the pastor in charge, not to allow Leaman or Matthews 10 speak in the church as ministers of the Algemeine Brueder. The two tabood Reverends ap) d in the church at the beginning of the services, and- heanl the letter publicly resd. - At the close of the service AMatthews entered the pulpit and asked the people to remais as he had some- say. Bro Schaeffer invited “Shut up.” One - ordered Schaeffer to get ‘*‘down and -out,” Whereupon one Faust took Walter by the throat and commenced a choking process. ~ A hundred Young men rushed to the pulpit to see fair pla! In the meantime a Mrs. Kissinger and ngusa Gaul had 2 set-to, and Miss Gaul was scnt to grass by asquare knock-down from the fist of her opponent. A woman fainted; women and children screamed; the ladies who had babes iv their arms escaped from the church as quickly as they could, to save themsclves and children from being nurt; and the Rev. Matthews and Lcaman, and Messrs. Auos Gaul, Henry Fisher, and other oficers and members of the church, dashed out of the rear door near the pulpit and left the premiscs. During the course of this lively tit a policeman x,;[&cfiud i, the g’g-‘:i,h" but the young men ordere m c: d heydulged, as the odds were decidedly. an aguinst him, HAWKEYE JOTTINGS, Burlington Haickeye.

A pair of deaf mutes were married in Monroe, Ga., three weeks ago; and now it is more fun than a clres to see them quarrel and make faces at each other with their fingers.

Their .dressus will be made s tight, indeed, that lovely woman will lose' her Iast relic of superiority over mau—she won't be avle to put her clotlics on over head ber any more. Yet a little while, and the woman, the home- goddess, who now stands looking dreawmily down at the sitting-room carpet, wondering it it hadn't better be turned when she cleans house next month, will be charging around in the pantry, wondering how three bashels aud a !mltp of red auts can crowd themselves fntoa Dbalf-pint sugar-bowl.

A SURGEON AND A PRIEST. A French journal says that a famous French surgeon, lately deccased, who was brusque and unpolished, found, on entering his house one day, an old priest who had been long waiting his retarn. “ What do you want of me?” “I ‘want you to look at this,” meekly replied the priest, taking off anold woolen cravat, which revealed apon the nape of bhis neck a hideous tamor. *You'll have to die with thag,” m"iy remarked the surpeon. 1 thank you, Doctor,’ simply replicd the pricst, replacing lis cravat, **and am mich obliged to you for *warning me, for I can prepare myself, 18 well as my poor parishioners, who love me very mud surgeon, who was. never astonished ut great things, looked upon this priest, who received his death-sentence unmoved, with amazement, and said: “ Come to-morrow at 8 oclock to the Ho- tel Dieu, and ask for me.” The priest was prompt. The surgeon procured for bim a spe- cial room, and in a_month the man_ went_out cured. When leaving he took out of asack 30 fraucs in small change. *It isall I have to of- fer you, Doctor,” he said; * I came here on foot from Rouen in order to save this.”” The Doctor looked at _the money, smiled, fnd, drawinga handful of gold froth his pocket, put it in the bag along with the 30 francs, saying, * It’s for your poor,” aud the priest went away. Some Jears later the surgeon, feeling death to be near, ethought him of ti:c priest, and wrote to him. He came at once, and the surgeon receivedat his hunas the last consolation of religion. HARI-KARITES. Some curlous detuils are given by a Japanese newspaper—the Zchoya Chimboun—sas to the manner in which some of the “aristocrats of the 0ld school in that country, who were con- demned to death for the part they took in the Iate insurrection, but who preferred hari-kari to decapitation, spent the last few hours of their lives. Four Samourai insurgents of Kournanote, who escaped on the night of the 24th of Octo- ber, assewbled at the house of one by name Yonemara for the purpose of ending their ex- istence by the *happy Gispatel ™ in hiis hospita- ble dwelling. Belore, however, giving them- selves over to death they gave them- selves over to a regular Jollificatiou—drinking, dancing, and singing as though on a festive oc- casion. * Their hostess, without any wish uunecs essarily to curtail their enjoyment, with much tact and good feeling advised them not to keep up this revelry too lone. as the police could hard- Iy fail to hear the disturbance cgused by their songs and dances. They turned a deaf edr, how- ever, to her kindly warning, and continued to drink and amuse themsclyes for the whole day, saying that if the ‘¢ shizohu” arrived they were. prepared to fight the m. The hours thus passed pleasantly away until sunsct, when the party arrayed themselves in the robes which, accord- ing to old Japunese fashion, are appropriate for the ceremony they were ubout to perform, and, having offered up their prayers to the mods, “happily dispatched ” them3clves without delay. EFFECTS OF BLUE GLASS. A correspoudent of the San Francisco Chroni- cle, who had suffered from chrounic rheumatism for many years, placed blue glass in the windows of his bath-room and filled the tub with water. He was suddealy called out of town on urgent business, and did not return for several days. When he opened the door of the bath-room he was impressed with the etlicacy of blue glass. These arc his own words: “ I found the room filled with nasty, slimy reptiles, somewhat re- sembling shrimps, but very much larger,—in fact, a great many of them would weigha pound. Aftes § Tl recovered from my [right, 1 called ny wife and demanded an explanation: where did these things come from, and way have they been placed in this room? She looked into tlie room, screamed, and fainted. I carried her to bed, and called for the camphor-bottle, and, af- ter she had sufficiently recoveggd her senscs, she cried out, ** Oh! those are the Dasty things that are in the water; those are the cyclops.” Under the influence of the blue glass the microscopic creatures ).ll\ldew[ug;d into such enormous pro- portions that they hid crowded themselves out of the bath-tub until they lay on the floor at Teast; two fect decp.” AMERICAN ROMANCES. New York Trituna. Who says that there is no romance, that nothing never happens, in this prosaic country? In Louisiana, two negroes, who loved the same woman, have recently fought a duel on horse- back aud killed each other. A banker’s wife near Kansas City, Mo., vre- sented a foundling to her husband as his heir, and champagne-corks popped at every angle. Butina few days his meat was tears. The mother of twins, who had parted with one of them, came forward to claim the one she had s0ld to the rich lady, and the banker’s wife had toconfess that the child was not her own. A young man in Dubugue, Ia., went, on Satur- day Week to a country-dance, and did nol re- turn to his home until the church-bells were ringing the next morning. His father told him he must go to meeting, and he went. Before the minister had finished the opening preyer, the young reveler was sound asleep and dream. ing of the dauce. An old ludy who sat nest to him touched his hand to arouse him, where- upon he seized her wrist and shouted, * All Juin, hands and circle to the left. Swing the ,girl with the blue dress on!” < HAYES. The Salem (Mass.) Jazcite prints a communi- cation which says: **One of the best ings to illustrate the character of Mr. [ayes is told by a Boston gentleman, a native of Salem, a person of much force and determination. In the sum- mer of 1860 he was traveling with his family in Caouda; taking a steamer at Quebec for Haw Haw Bay, at the mouth of the Saguenay River, there cimenpadensc fog,and the stcamer, through the incompetency of the Captain, who was_grossly intoxicated, was placed in a fearful condition. “The drunken brute assured the large number of passengers on board that he knew what he was sbout, aud zave orders to steer the boat in a direction which would have made shipwreck Inevitable. To all advice and remoustrance onlv abuse was_returned, when the Boston zentleman said: *If four men will stand by me I'will take the command of this steamer from this drunken man and put the mate in charge’ The drst man who volun- teered was Rutherford B. [ayes, then an un- known lawyer it Cincinnati.’? A PARISIAN THEFT. Puris Letier. The thieves of Paris, like the Parisian police, have long been supposed to be preternatorally acute. A -thicf of Bols-Colombes has lately proved how much he could exéél either. M. Bourdais oiwns a piece of property in the place indicated, which iwo years ago he rented to an eligible tensnt. M. Bourdals dwelt in another place, and for a year and a haf his rent was Stephen Walter | sent to him with the most perfect reg- ularits. No landlord could'ask for a bet- ter tenant. At the end of efghtecn months M. Bourdais received no remittance, and wrote many times to sec what was the trouble. He received no auswer. Fioally, after some months of delay, he determined to o to Bois-Colombes, and upon ariving there what was his surprise to find that nnfllin'é of his **place ”’ remained but the ground itself. He sought diligently for his house. but alas! he had no house; it hiad been dismantled, demolished, and removed. In a rage he laid nis grievance before the police, who are probably now scarching for the dwelling with the best quality of microscopes. The po- lice are, howerver, doinz better work on a more crying evil than the theft of houses, and are at present diligently seeking to close some of the gamine-houses of the Capital, and thereby ad- vertising some of them which have hitherto not been generally known to the public. TWEED’S HGME MANSION. New Fork Corresporidence Boston Journal. While William M. Tweed occupies. his stone quarters in Ludlow-street Jail, his family dwell in an elegant mansion at Greenwich. The place is superb in its appointments and location. The estate licson the Sound, on aslope of land, with abuut three acres of land, closely shaved, and walled in with a handsome stone fence. The entrauce is through massive jron gates, on which are embossed the monogram T. The huuse is castellated, and the tall tower is con- spicuous on the land and on thesea. The house is occupied by Mrs. Tweed, a married daughter and her husband, and two unmarried girls. The family maintain no special retircment. They “Jive like auy well-to-do houschold.

Till laid Tam to rest, Mother! O fain that spot would be . In the dear old churchyard, Mother, that les far beyond the sea, That hallowed place where all my race, whore all my kindred sleep, And where my own, iy native stars, their vigils they would keep. And then, O Mother! will we meet—ah, yes! we will above; And the loves . And !llu:n, O Mother! will we not (prophetic let me s Be clothed with light forever bright, forever with the just?
