TIE recent attempted killing of the car

as well it may be. A thanksgiving festival
has been celebrated at Berlin, but at St.
Petersburg the reign of terror has thus
far d.mpened the spirit which has usually
congratulated the car on his lucky escapes.

{ GEN. GRANT and party arrived at City OF
Hexico Saturday night ON special train,
accompanied by Minister Foster, the Hex
lean reception committee and others.
They were met at the depot by city Off
cials and members of the federal govern
ment. The streets were packed with
people. The visitors were escorted to the
Mineral College by 1000 infantry and 800
cavalry. The buildings and streets were
ablazs with illumination. Gen. Grant, in
response to a letter inviting him to return
via New Orleans, says if there are good
facilities for travel he will return via San
Francisco; if not he will return via Texas,
and visit places familier to him during the
Nexican war.
THERE is no surer indication that the
present tide Of business prosperity has
come to stay a long time, says the New
York Trtjlo.c, than the rise in real estate in
New York. This kind Of property is not
subject to sudden fluctuations, and cannot
be forced up by mere temporary or
fictitious activity in trade. The increase
in tho rentals OF stores, manufactures
and offices down town, and the brisk
market for building-lots and dwellings,
uptown, show plainly that the bust
ness Of the metropolis is in healthy con
dition. Ameng the purchasers Of houses
are said 70 be a number Of capitalists from
California, who have concluded to transfer
themselves and their possessions to a place
where the Ksarneys and kallochs of the
Pacific Coast cannot apply their Com
munistic experiments.
TIE Russian reign Of terror shows no
change for the better Suspicion is general,
and the Government seems to place all its
trust in courtsmartial and jails This was
seen on Saturday when at the burning Of
the Moscow Academy of Forest Culture
several students were arrested, apparently
as matter Of course While Russia is
thus examining her .jails, she acts unrea-
seRahly in expecting that other nations
wlil establish fugitive conspirator laws for
their benefit. Would,be reglcides, such as
Hartmann is alleged to be, are justly alb
horred, but no people, says the New York
Tribune, can prudently surrender any such
persons on tho mere word Of over,zealous
RusSian officials, especially as there is little
likelihood that they will receive fair trial.
The French Radical Republicans, who op.
pose the surrender of Hartmann, have
therefore good reason for their earnest
ness and energy in his behalf.
