IT frequently happens in authorship that
the worthless pretender claims as his own
productions, choice bits of literature which
belong to others. For instance score Of
people claim to have written "Beautiful
Snow" and of BETSY and are Out" the
real author of the lines is yet in doubt
1t is rare, however, that varied and extern
sive writer is SO modest or peculiar as to es.
cape the honors to which he is so fairly en-
titled by losing his identity and authorship
under multitudinous nom de plume. Never
theless we have in our midst gentleman
who, either through excessive modesty or by
mere freak of fancy, writes his gems of lit
erature in the columns of daily paper by
placing them over such signatures as 'Big
Injpn,' ''Tax Payer" ''Citizen,'' 'sX'
'0B-' and, just before election, 'sRepubli-
can." Possibly the Ira-te reformer thinks
that an ideal or paper soldier in the war he
is wagng against the bad is just as good as a
real one, so long as the reading public imag
ines that every one of these signatures repre-
sents distinct individual; but we protest that
genius is by 10 means so common that this

of these committees shall be submitted to a

Dor with the inflated reports, shall lay the

Real Estate and Rents.

NO DEMASp FOR HousEs-RENrs COMING DOWN
Upon inquiry amongst several of the Real Es.
tate Agents of this city, it is plainly evident tha,
scarcely anything is being done in that line. An
occasional trade Of city for country property and
houses for lots make up the general aggregate
of real estate transactions. The holders of pro.
perty who can afford it are holding on to it foi
the purpose OF keeping up the old prices, but it
IL the general opinion that it must inevitably
come down on par with the general business
of the country.
In reference to rents, they have already dep
recated nearly oDe-fourth as compared with the
prices asked and obtained in 1873. Store proper
ties along the business streets OF the city alone
are kept up to the old prices, but it is thought
now that unless trade speedily revives that they
too must give way to the inevitable and come
down to a level
The greatest demand is for small five or six
roomed dwellings for the laboring part of the
population. Houses of this character which
formerly rented for s14 and SIG per month are
now renting at So and tlO. One gentleman en-
gagged in the real estate business and renting OF
houses informed us Of a row OF newly-iinised
six.roomed houses in popular street FOR which
SIG per month was asked, They stood empty
for a long time. Repeated calls were made III
reference to rent, but when informed that they
were GIG per month the inquiers would hastily
depart without even promising to call again The
price was finally put down to slO per month, and
now every house is occupied.
We are further informed that over Third
street bridge in South Wilmington, houses thai
rented for sl2 per month have since been rent
ed for half that price, rather than let then
stand idle. All over the city the inevitable "Tt
Let is to be seen, the former tenants, in man,
cases, being amongst those employed in oul
large manufactures but having been s'laid on,
as it is called, they have either removed to til,
country, or moved in with some other family tc
save the rent.
the price OF real estate is looked for, as it il
much better for property holders to dispose o
their property at q reduced price than to keep II
on hand and pay heavy taxes for it.

Az AFFECTING INTERVIEW IN THE PRIsoS-IrE
AGED LADY COMPLETELY BREARs DOWN.
From the West Chester News
In the afternoon succeeding the interview with
his counsel, Mr.. Perdue, the aged mother of I'd
derzook appeared at the prison, and upon her
socition was showed up to the cell Of her un-
happy son. The interview WAS quite protla act
cd one, and was characterized with such out
bursts of grief and sorrow on the part of both,
as to spread pallor of gloom over the entire
population psopling the confined limits OF the
prison. The poor heart-broken mother plead
earnestly with the Giver OF every blessing for
him to look with pity and commiseration upon
her son in the remaining hours allotted to him
on earth
The scene is said to have been most pathetic,
and so exhausted did the mother become as to
require the aid Of two men TO conduct her to her
present home, few yards from the Jail. After

The Delaware River.
MARKED GRANGE IN THE BED OF THE STR
BARS SHIFTING,

MARKED GRANGE IN THE BED OF TIRE STREA,I--THE
BARS SHIFTING.
From the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph
For some time past the ferry-boats between
Philadelphia and Camden. i'll crossing the Della
ware, have gone close to Smiths Island. This
has been necessary oil account of the shifting
Of the sand-bar. which has caused marked
change in the navigation OF the river. Former
ly the ferry boats could not cross near the upper
division OF the island, but had to make long
detour northward. The Coopers Point bar has
projected out 30 awkwardiy that the Vine street
ferry-boats are obliged to take the same route
~ tue Market street ferry-boats. The improve.
ments in the Schuylkill to take that stream
more nAyigable lave caused IN artificial shoal
in the Delaware near the formers mouth. In
consequence OF these and other changes and the
rapid increase OF onr commerce, the number of
vessels at anchor and the swarms of tow-boats,
the navigation OF the river requires great deal
more care and skill than formerly The heavy
square-rigged vessels are gradually concentra-
ting further southwark. The wharyes at the
lower and upper portions of Camden have be-
come places Of resort for shipping.
