TAG FRsr American TRAIroR.-On the l4th
day of June, 1901, nearly sixty three years ago,
ut Gloucester Place, died Benedict Arnold, the
American traitor, unwept without one single
friend upon this broad earth to mourn his loss -
there the first traitor TO human freedom aud the
prl-o'Pi "f oclf eovarnnas+t. I.ji s'o tfH,tJi
ot the present time, he was employed and treated
by his country, received promotion and honor at
its hands aud then because II check had been
temporarily put to his ambition, basely betrayed
the nation that reposed confidence in him. His
fate was that Of all traitors, and we fervently
hope that il any of the black hearted traitors
who are now engaged in this wicked and most
unboly rebellion, should be so fortunate as to
escape the gailOws, that their end aud last mo
ments will bo like his cursed by the country he
had 50 basely betrayed scorned aud despised by
the nation 10 whom he had 80 dishonOrably sold
himself; aud at last, let them, like him, die un.
houored and unpited in lnerited obscurity aud
their name become synonym OF the basest
treachery to human liberty, throughout the whole
civilized world.
The following ncrostic on the name Of Bene.
dict Arnold, containing the fcrcest iuvectiye Of
his treason was written by his cousin, q young
Englishman, Oliver Arnold, aud published in the
London papers many years ago:
Born for a curse to viruo and mankind
Hrth's brOadBt realm no'er knew black mind,
Nights sable veil your crime never hide,
Each SO great twouli glut historic lido,
Demuct, your cursed memory will liyo,
In all tho guro that nlamy give,

REAL ESTATE IN NEW YORK. - It is re-
duced to a certainty that there is not only no
excitement in real estate. but on the contrary
the average prices are generally admitted to
be less than in 1850, when the banks paid
specie; at the same time there is very active
demand for all kinds, improved and unn-
proved, and every day, or this island, real es-
tate Is growing scarce, in consequence OF sew
eral large capitalists being in the market, gath
ering up every desirable parcel at the going
rates, and when these parcels are once catered
OH their ledgers they are about as much flor
at least many years to come) taken out of
market as If they were removed from the is
land, rs this class Of men buy only for perma-
nent investment, and not for sale, under any
ordinary circumstances.
There are some of our large capitalists who
have been among our largest real estate hold
ers for the past forty years-not only by inher-
itance, but by being constant purchasers thro'
all times-and some OF these men have never
made a sale, never even made one deed of
conveyance. In many cases they have inn
proved, but they never entertain any proposal
from buyers. These rich men are last getting
into their hands large amounts OF property,
aud whoever induces them To surrender any
OF it, must be prepared to meet their terms,
provided they will sell AT any price.
There Is another class who are, rs we think,
speculating in a very safe way, and almost
sure to result in profit. They select some
four, six, or eight lots in the upper part Of the
city, near railroad, erect house on one lot,
fence them all In for garden. &c, for their
own occupaton-the interest on the whole be-
ing less than the rent of similar house in the
lower wards. This improvement at once adds
value to the whole parcel, aud in five years or
less, probably, four oJthe eight lots win sell for
enough to bay for the other four including the
house.-lN. Y. Express.

Scene in the Illinois Legislature.

The Springhe (Ill.l correspondent of the
st. Louis Democrat, gives the following ac-
count of a scene in the late Legislature, that
must have been as grateful to the hearts OF
loyal spectators as it was depressing to the
copperhead members:
"a great ensation was created by speech by
Mr.. Funk, one of the richest farmers in the State,
man who pays over three thousand dollars per
aunum taxes toward the supporto of the Govern
ment. The lobby and gallery were crowded with
spectators. Mr. Funk rose to object to trifilng
resolutions which were being introduced by the
Democrats to kill time, and stave Oft u vote up
on the appropriations for the support of the
Government. He said:
Mr. Speaker can sit in my seat no longer.
and see such by-play going on. These Inen are
trifing with the best interests of the country.
They should have asses ears to set OF their
heads, or they are traitors and secessionists at
heart.
| say that there are traitors and secessionists
at heart IN this Senate. Their actions prove it.
Their gibes, and laughter, and cheers here night
ly, when their speakers get up to denounce the
war and the Administration, prove it,
can sit here no longer and not tell these
traitors what think OF them. And while 50
telling them, am responsible myself for what
say am ready TO meet any man on this floor
IN any manner, from a pin S point 10 the mouth

its demand for lumber are ruined by this war.
And with all the check the business has re-
ceived, the process of stripping Maine OF its
lumber Is now too rapid, and its mischevous
effects must soon be felt. 1t should also be
remembered that there are two sides to the
question of the price of lumber If prices are
kept low by competition, the demand for il is
largely increased, and the consumers are prof
tied in proportion as prices are reduced, un-
less the profits are SO reduced as to cripple the
needful production. The distance, difficulties
and expense of bringing the Canada and New
Brunswick lumber into Maine, must prevent
any ruinous competitor in our markets. 1t
must also be remembered that, with Reciproc-
ity, Maine can compete with the Provinces in
the English markets, which would necessarily
discriminate in favor of the colonies, If Rec-
procity was abolished. The most profitable
numbering Of Bangor and the Penobscot the
last year, has been furnishing spruce deals for
the English market. The operations of this
winter on the Penobscot, | understand, are
for this purpose, and the Kennebec is said to
be following in the same direction. Is it best
to cast ourselves Off from this trade with Eng
land without examination?
There Is another view. The whole Of the
AToostook valley and of Northern Maine,
watered by the St. John and its tributaries,
under the treaty, can send lumber to mar
OF New Brunswick can. Cut off Reci-
procity az! you seal up that lumber by
whatever duty or tariff New Brunswick
pleases to put upon 1t. You place the whole
of Northern Maine thus at the mercy of New
Brunswick, and make it her interest to cripple
the settlement and industries of that section
for the benefit of her own. You thus defeat
the object long desired and sought - the set
ment and prosperity of all the northern por-
ftsa.R flx..
best oil all possible national defenses dense
and prosperous population in profitable and
fraternal business relations with our neigh
bors.
Let it also be remembered, that many citi-
zens of Maine have large investments in the
mills and forests Of the Provinces, TO be Grip
Piled by the abolition of Reciprocity. Wilnot
the damage to- the numbering interests OF
Maine be greater than any possible benefits TO
that particular interest? Other interests shall
be noticed in my next.
