Real Estate Speculation IN New
York.

The 'Times" gives the following samples
Of the rise in the price of real estate in New
York:
DIR. Brandreth, who recently purchased
the property on Broadway. between Lispe-
nard and Canal, with fronts on all three of
the streets, for Sl20,000, has been offered
100000 for his bargain. Mr.. Howard,
recently of the Irving House, pays S1l0,.
600 for the Society Library property. sixty
feet front on Broadway. corner of Leonard.
This is considered high figure, yet we are
told the lot alone cost the Society S47, 800,
during the last great speculation in real es-
tate in 1886. and building S65.000 This
is not the only instance in which city prop
erty, particularly vacant lots on the upper
end of the island, has been sixteen years
recovering the extravagant rates at which
they were sold or valued in 1886. The old
Masonic Hall property, Broadway and Pearl
ST.. now pays rental Of six per cent on
100000. The owners have just been Of
fered six per cent. on a valuation of $780,
600, from the expiration Of the present
lease. two years hence.
"A correspondent yesterday, noticed the
facts that $1,000 per acre had been paid for
unimprovcd property on Staten Island, in
the neighborhood of Newark, and $500 to
500 in Westchester county, and on Long
Island above Williamsburg Several of
these sales are within our information
Seventy acres on Staten Island, full mile
from the water, and which the small farmer,
who owned and lived on it, valued at S15,-
900 or $4,000 a few years ago, has been
sold to company of German spectators,
for SO ,000 and contracts have already been
made by the purchasers, to erect 200 hous-
es for gardeners and other villagers.
"In this connection we may refer to an
incident related to us by an eye witness, a
day or two ago. On Sunday afternoon last,
five or six small parties of observation, with
maps and auctioneer's posters in hand. were
seen intently surveying the vacant lots on
single Avenue, from Sixtieth to Nintieth-
street; and how many more were scattered
on the Island at the same time, it would be
impossible to tell. The rage for real estate
after fifteen or sixteen years interruption,
has again grown TO be a mania; and is little
to be wondered at, since nearly every class
of the trading world is taking hand in the
game, that many of them find no other sea-
son, from other employmcnts, to study out
the best card to play than in the afternoon
succeeding their Sunday morning devo.

A Scene at Il Bull.Fight,

A few years ago, the inhabitants Of Seville
read, with surprise, in the advertisements
of an approaching bull-fght, this unusual
notice:
when the third bull shall have attacked
the picadors and receives three pairs Of ban
derillas, young peasant, by whom he has
been brought up, will appear in the circus.
! lie Will approach the bull. caress it, and, af.
ter removing the banderillas one after an
other, will lie down between his horns."-
The announcement of so singular feat at
tracted an immense crowd to the amphithe-
atre. The third bull appeared, an animal
with splendid horns, and very brave he
slew four horses, received the banderillas,
and became furious. Then, contrary to Gus
TOM all the torreros retired from the ring,
leaving the bull stamping about, and shaking
the bloody darts that hung from his neck
All at once a long whistle was heard The
bull paused and listened. 1t was repeated.
He approached the barrier, and a young
man leaped into the ring, calling the bull by
his name, Mosquito" The animal knew
its master. came to caress him, and was ap-
peased. The peasant gave il his hand to
lick, and with the other began to scratch it
behind the ears--an operation which SEEM
ed to afford the poor brute much pleasure
He then gently removed the banderillas
which annoyed the neck Of Mosquito, mace
it 60 down on its knees, and placed his head
between its horns. The grateful bull seem
ed to listen with pleasure to pastoral mel
ody sung BY the master. The admiration
of the multitude, hitherto suppressed by
surprise, burst forth with Andalusian vio-
lence, and shook the building. Hearing
this phrensied applause, which had accom-
panied all his sufferings, the bull, till then
under a charm, appeared to awake and re-
turn to reality. He suddenly rose, below
ing, and the peasant tried to escape. But
it was too late The animal, as though fu-
rious at being betrayed, tossed the young
man into the air. received him again on his
horns gored him, tramplcd Oh him, and
crushed him to pieces, in spite Of the efforts
Of the torreros. The function was supended
and--a phenomenon in Spain-the Mortified
public omitted the circus in silence.

CO OIL N e S s.

As Scots army was marching triumph
antly into the city of Mexico, a procession
of monks emerged from the gate of a con-
vent situated on an eminence to the right,
and advanced with slow and measured tread,
meeting the front rank of the army at right
angles. The guide or leader of the process
sion was venerable priest, whose hair was
whitened with the frosts of many winters.
He held in both his hands Il contribution
box, upon which there was lighted candle,
and when within few feet of the army, the
procession halted As the army proceeded,
many true believer in st. Patrick dropped
some small coin or other in the old priest 5
box And when il was observed that a
soldier was searching in his pockets for
something to bestow, the priest would step
forward and hold his box to receive the do
nation. Ultimately there came along tall,
gaunt, limber-sided. gander-looking Yankee,
who, on seeing the old priest, thrust his
hand into the very depths of his brcecbes'
pocket, as if in earnest search for dime or
something Of the kind. The priest observ-
ing this movement on the part of Jonathan,
advanced as usual, holding forth his contri-
button box. Jonathan at length drew forth
greasy looking roll of paper, and COM
menced very deliberately unfolding it
The old priest now anticipated very lib
eral donation, and put on an air of exqui-
site satisfaction Jonathan continued to un-
roll aud remove piece after piece of dirty
paper, until at length he found piece Of
dry twisted tobacco He next thrust his
hand into another pocket, and drew forth a
clay pipe, which, with the utmost delibera-
ton, he proceeded to fll. by pinching of
small PARTICLES Of the tobacco. When this
was done, having replaced his tobacco in his
breeches pocket. he stopped forward and
lighted his pipe by the old priests candle,
aud making an awkward inclination of his
head-intended, perhaps, for bow, said
"Mach o5leeged 10 ne, Squire" and pro-
cecded on his way.

A Mine Of Wealth.

Dr. J. V. G. Smith in an address deliver
ed at the North Russell street Methodist
Episcopal Chapel, on Sunday evening. on
Palestine, alluded to the following circum-
stances:
The Sheiis, or Arab Chiefs, are in the
habit of burying their treasures in the sands
of the desert; no matter what it is, an
American half eagle or tin box, anything
which they wish 70 preserve secure, they at
once repair to the desert, and deposit it
where none but themselves can hope to
find it.
When the Doctor v:-ited the Dead Sea
he hired three Shciks to accompany him as
guides and protectors; he gave FIVE dollars
TO each, besides the present always necessa-
ry at the close OF bargain; the SheikS
went Immediately out to desert place to de-
posit their money.
Some of these Arabs live to be one hun
uc to bury their wealth as long as they live;
they are computed TO be wealthy, because
they have much wealth buried; Yet increase
of riches makes scarce any difference in
their indulgencies or mode Of life. In their
old age they forget where the articles are
deposited, aud die without ever leaving any
thing for their children
1t is supposed that no less than million
dollars in value is thus buried annually,
and the time will come when the searching
for and recovering of this hidden wealth will
be an extensive and profitable business.

Life's Lesser COurtesies.

A worthy countrywoman once called on
the celebrated mathematician William Hut
ton, to ask how she might best reform hus-
band who treated her harshly, and spent
most OF his time away from home. THE
remedy is a simple one" said the wise man,
''and yet have never seen it fail. AL,cays

That regard for lte's lesser courtesies
which Mr.. Hutton thus intended to advise
is the sure, yet much neglected antidote, for
many social and domestic discords. Large
sacrifices made. or great iavors conferred,
may awaken in the bosom deep sense of
gratitude; but that which wins our love, and
cemants hearts in the bonds of an abiding
regard, is patience amidst the little trials,
and kindnesses invariably manifested, when
ever The lesser opportunities of lie permit
Hearth stones now cherries might be made
happy, and heavy laden breasts innumerable,
would beat lightly again, if in the tenor of
this reply every small cause of offence were
banishcd, and each brief occasion for kindi-
ness diligently improved. Sirach's son tells
us that The bee is little among such as fly;
but her fruit is the chief o. sweet things. -
Thus is it with the lesser courtesies IF life
Their fruit is among the "chicf of sweet
things" Learn, reader, to prize and prac-
tice them. They will minister much COM

reproach, and securing frequent and sure
pleasures for your hours Of pilgrimage.
