Spirited Discourse.
It was q Wheeling topper of q past
generation who remarked sententiously,
MS one who had imbibed thorough
knowledge Of his subject, that all whisky
was good and the only difference was
HAT some whisky was better than other
whisky. People Of less experience than
he had are not generally willing to con.
cede that all whisky is good, and yet

of the pudding Is not always in the eat.

evidence that tie bar whisky OF Chicago

Chicago Real Estate.
The Chicago real estate markets
matter which interests some Wheeling
peOple-has been dull this spring. A
bear says that spectators thought they
had made a good deal of money last
year (''when they were busy buying
each other out,n but that they had got
up property too high now for much of
either a speculative or legitimate de-
msnd and those who had held on
would be left.
1t seems pity that some Of the "out-
side property" one sees couldn't be got
up little higher yet-say just high
enough to drain itself.
There is an especial grunt over the
dullneSs in acre property which has gem
orally been the easiest to sell in former
times, aud agents say that they do not
understand why the inquiry for this
class of real estate should be so poor.
The most obvioussuggestion Of reason
is that the city has spread faster than

ranted-ths invariable result of rife
speculation in real estate-sO that
large number Of unimproyed lots are
interspersed among its buildings.
When
The Speculative Fever
is past, the tendency of growth is, OF
course, rather towards filling up the
blank spaces in the town than towards
spreading out from it. This for the res
son that it becomes burdensome to carry
the unimproved lots-paying city taxes
and assessments for paving, etc, on
them-when they are not advancing
rapidly I'm value, and holders accord
ingly are apt to push them on the mar
ket.
With the idea of accompanying the den
stiles OF population in some Of the large
cities, made the following table, the
figures of population and area in which
