where Men Get Coats Of Hair.

A short time ago man little over forty years
old went into BunnelPs Museum and asked for an
engagement He said that he was native of War
saw, III Russian Poland, and had been condemned
to the mines of Siberia for being Nihilist. pc
cuiarity ofthe atmosphere in the Redan gold mines
near Tobolsk, where he was confined for fifteen
years, he said, was that it in time caused thick
growth of hair on the bodies of the eXiles who in
the warm temperature, fifteen hundred feet below
the surface, worked nearly nude.
Nihilists being somewhat in vogue, especially
when hairy, he was engaged at q small salary,
decked in fanciful medieval costume, and seated
on platform with Bafnums veteran what IS 1t -

Warsaw in 1851 he was sent TO Siberia for Gfsaec-

panions reached their destination and were re-

Green and Superintendent Patterson, of the Coast
| Survey, with view to opening drive across the
hills overlooking the city from Soldiers Home to
Rock Creek, all to be in conformity to the proper
extension of the streets and avenues beyond the
present city limits. The project of locating the
Naval Observatory On the hills Just south of the
Home is also being urged, two of the Commission
| ers favoring that site. We have many inquiries
| from investors in quest Of suburban homes, and
find prices for this class of property moving steadily
up. This will be good year for real estate"
Mr.. B. II. Warner was then requested to add TO
THE REPUBLICANS stock of information, and did so
as follows: 1.-The real estate market is improving,
and win, >think. show markedly higher prices
this year. People are becoming tired of the lean
returns from stocks and bonds, and observe
widespread inclination to change investments to
real estate The demand for houses here is re-
markable Of course there are some idle now, but
they are mostly in remote locations, where people
do not care to go.
1.-THE southwestcrnsection the city is affected
very unfnvorably by the condition of our river
front, but 1 believe Congress now proposes to
remedy this. Ifthis is DONE you may look for a
rapid increase in the Improvements and value OF
real estate in that portion of Washington. In this
quarter there is located many houses formerly
considered the most fashionable and desirable
that now either remain unoecupied or rent1orVery
low figures on account of the state of affairs
along the river front. Many people from oil parts
of the country are locating here and they attract
their friends after them so that steady and grow
ing demand for good property at advancing fig
ures are fixed facts that will make themselves felt
in the real estate market for the year 1881"
A number ofotller gentlemen were also consulted,
but theirs did not differ in any material points
from those given above, and THE REPUBLICAN re-
turned to its quarters thoroughly convinced that
the back of the hard times was broken.
