despotic government there, while England has
wisely admitted the American idea into her
American colonies. The natural result of
American growth has followed. The people
OF Cuba have risen in arms and are o-dsy
treading the winepress of freedom. Our
people not only sympathize with them in their
struggle, but the national instinct, ever quick,
perceives that the time has come to drive out
these European picket posts along our shore,
and feels strong in the ability to do it. The
national government may find complications to
attend the argument, but these will disappear
If it is true to the national feeling and the
national instinct, that wants no more gov
ernments in America antagonistic to American
ideas. Danger can arise only from the incom-
potency of the Secretary of State and his
clinging to the precepts which governed John
Quincy Adams administration fifty years ago,
while he forgets the immense advance the
nation has made since that time. The admin.
istration of President Grant may safely do
what Adams could not-take its tone from the
unerring instinct of the popular mind

LITERATURE.

SACRED AND CONSTRUCTIVE ART; ITs ORIGIS ASD
PROGRESS. A series Of essays. by Calvin n. Otis,
Architect. New fork G.. +. Putnam a Sons.
Mr. Otis has written series OF ESSAYS both inter-
psting and instructive. His first paper, however
called spontaneous Art,' is rather obscure--we
may better express its quality by saying that the
author plunged into o metaphysical disquisi-
tion and became muddled In the midst. Spon-
taneity, in the sense used applies primarily
90 something produced by an agent destitute OF
reason. Now, there Is but little art where there
Is no reason; while wherever we have found
nrt there have we found both reason and civiza-
tion. AZ applied by Mr.. Otis spontaneous art, is
nonsense. But we do not intend to cavil over a
small matter. Nearly all the papers are
well written and are well worth reading.
The synopsis IL rather ludicrous. Mr. Otis
desires "the development of an American Protes.

The Roman Catholic Church never originated art;
consequently It could have peculiarly distinctive

Sir Robert Taylor Bernin and other great architects

their particular religious predictions. At the pre-
sent day there can scarcely bc said to exist dis.

age Ia decidedly eclectic. Our buildings are con-
structed the basis OF union OF different systems,
in which we find the ancient or classic blended with
the modern. Mr. Otis viii scarcely succeed in found

shall undoubtedly in time possess style properly

Real Estate.

There is a lull in the real estate excitement,
and the tendency of prices is to fall to the
natural place. No doubt many men would
see this with more complacency if they had
regarded our warnings rather than the rose
cOlored stories of the spectators. Real estate
is a thing upon which speculation cannot
flourish. Men cannot here hold fictitious for
tunes on small capital and take the chances
to make their game by stimulated and
artificial rise. They can do this in petro-
leum. So they can in hops. So they
can in great many commodities of
more or less necessity. But if they had to
hold these articles on the same terms on which
they hold real estate-if an inexorable and
greedy taxgatherer came regularly round,
and heavy assessment "for improvements
were due occasionally on hops, petroleum, &C.,
speculative gentlemen would find that "hold-
ing for rise" was rather oppressive bust
ness, and they might not hold on so long and
might be satisfied with rise not so consider
able as they had hoped for. This is what is
the matter just now with the gentlemen who
tried to treat city real estate in the same
financial style as they have treated some 9th er
property. They forgot the taxes. Great for
tunes are made in the rise of real estate in the
vast and sudden growth of city like this !;
but there must have been to begin with con-
siderable fortune as the basis of the opera
held long while. The Astor and similar
estates-the Trinity property and the Stevens
property in Hoboken-indcate the only way
in which fortunes are made in city lots.
One of the singular features in the changes
in real estate is the development of neighbor-
hoods by accidental or artificial causes--as
the natural advantages of point or the fancy
Of people for aristocratic surroundings. At
one time all the wealth and splendor Of
city homes were centred on the ridge of
Broadway that slopes down to the North river,
and the gardens were in the worst parts of the
now horrible First ward. Then, on the east
side the city there grew up wide, fine street,
from which gardens might slope to the East
river, and this, from its character, was called
East Broadway. From that time forth arose
Bond street and Fourth street and Lafayette
place; then the upper part of Broadway, till
all city splendor eliminated in Fifth and
Madison avenues. We have seen analogous
changes in the favor given to different
suburbs. Fort Washington has several times
gone up in public favor, and in the recent ex-
citement effort was made to profit by stimu-
lating appreciation of its natural advantages
Staten Island was long ago very highly
favored, but many things were against t--as
The Quarantine and fever and age. Station
sry for long while, it is now coming into
Favor again, and this favor has a legitimate
basis in the measures to entirely eradicate the
fever poison by proper drainage, which are to
be undertaken on a large scale.
