REAL-EsTATR SAIE-The7 old Exchange pre-
sented tar moro lively appearance yesterday than
it has for years past It seemed as if it had shaken
of it's lethargy, and forgetting that it was but q
desolate shelbattered building, had turned to the
days when, as the postoce, it was daily and hour
~ crowded.
The marble steps, which time and the constant
trannping of thousand feet had worn into hol-
lows, were again ascended by an eager crowd, and
it seemed as il ssthe past was hut dream, ana we
had not lived through six years OF trouble. One
perceptible difference however, was the change OF
faces, many who were always present at an estate
sale having been gathered to their fathers; but the
attendance was as large and the bidding as spirited
as in the days when We knew not the greenbacks.
A large amount of valuable property, portion
f.the estate of Rev. Patrick O'Ncin, deceased,
was sold under the direction of the Master in
Equity and BY Messrs. Leitch & Bruins, real estate
brokers. AS this property offered for sale COM
prised many valuable houses and lots in the Upper
Wards, the bidding was lively and the prices real
lied we're almost equal to the ante ;ellum era.
The dwelling house and lot Of the Rev. F: ONelll
ION the west side Of King street, betW cen Wander
horst and Calhoun, and four lots Immediately
south, brought tho sum of ST., ITO:
Six lots and one dwelling, partly on King and
Ratclife streets, realized ST., $50.
-Four lots in. Cannon street, near the corner OF
Rutledge, sold for s., ,725.
One lot, with several wooden buildings, on Ann
street, opposite the Park. brought 81, ,050.
This has been one lare est real estate sales
Of city property that las taken place for me time,
and, considering sle universal depression and the
stringency Ut the money market, the prices real
lied show that the depreciation Of property is not
so great rs has been believed.

TIE TIDAL DRANs.-When this enterprise WAS
started, some years since,it was hardly thought
thatit would provo Us ef6cacious as at present;
but the experiment (for at first it was scarcely
more) has proved erninently successful, and these
subterranean sewers now radiate in every direc-
ton During tbs war it was found impossible to
natural consequence, the drains became choked
and the supply Of water in tho man-ho!es was very
inadequate for any emergency.
The City Council have recently given the subject
their serious attention, and, though the supply OF
water can never be made sufficient for the uses oi
the fire department., yet the cleaning process will
be Of great benefit to the city. By recent enact
ment the Office OF Keeper Of the Tidal Drains was
formed, and tho incumbent required to Destow ms
see that they were cleaned properly and flooded at
Under this new regime the laborers have been
busily engaged in removing the dirt thst has ac-
cumulated for nearly siS years. Thls n proG,ess is
been very satisfactory, and the large amount OF
sand and mud that have been removed shows that
the operation was not commenced too soon.
The main drains in Meeting street, on account
we're more accessible and easier clansed, but it
was found necessary 10 break extra holes into that
on Calhoun street, before the mud could be re-
moved. In some places this had accumulated TO
such an extent thai but few inches OF space re-
NAMED between the surface Of the water and the
roof of the drain. The mud that is removed from
these openings is used by tile city in filing up the
excavated lots and low grounds within its pro-
cincts.
Although these drains will never answer the
double purpose intended, viz: as sewers and mex,
haustible fire wels-yet there is little doubt that
they answer the first purpose admirably, and have
grown in favor from their origin. A complete sys-
tenn Of sewerage has always been considered indis-
pensable to the health and comfort of large city,
and the tidal drains Of Charleston are but tho
nucleus from which, in few years, branches will
shoot in every direction.
Paris, London, and tho different European and
American cities, have paid great attention to this
subject and their huge underground arches are
among the wonders of the world In some of the
Northern cities sewer hunting is q profession, and
some persons have realized handsome sums By
their dirty work. Unfortunately the South, and
especially our own city, is too poor to offer any at
tractions in this line, and though there are many
openings presented, nothing is found IN them but
mud
