Real Estate in New York.

Real estate in New York City, ac-
cording to recent letter, for the time
being, is at dead halt. The big
apartment house known as the Grosve-
nor, corner of Fifth avenue and Tenth
street, has been sold to the Mutual
Life Insurance Company for $10O,OOO /;
expert appraisers thought it would be
cheap at $250.000. 1t rents at present
for $25, 900 a year. and it was announc-
ed that the mortgages would take
back a mortgage for S150,000 at per
cent. Another transaction is impor-
tant enough to note. The brown-stone
front dwelling, No. 9East Sixty-fourth
street, belonging to the johnson es-
tate, has been sold to John P. Duncan
for S125, 600 cash. This property in
1876 was sold to A. I. johnson, the
consideration in the deed being $780,
600. In January, 1884, Mr.. U. S.
Grant, Jr., contracted to purchase the
property for about $150,000, but for
various reasons the contract was not
executed. Louis Globe Democrat

Wines for Sacramental Uses.

ssAt least fifty thousand gallons of
wine are consumed annually for sacra-
mental purposes in the United States"
said a wholesale dealer in wines to a
reporter for The Mail and E1press.
s'What kind of wine is preferredp"
"The pure juice of the grape, free
from alcohol, is demanded. Dry wine,
which has about IL per cent of alcohol,
fcate of priest as to the. purity of the
can be sold. But let it once become
coholic adulteration creeps in, it is
least 20 per cent of alcohol, yet it is
often sold for sacramental purposes.
Fact is, the sweet wine is always the
favorite until it's alcoholic percentage
is discovered. If all priests and
preachers were OF the same nationality
one brand of wine might do, but a
French priest does not want the same
wine as an Irish priest. Methodists,
Episcopalians, Catholics, and Baptists
all desire different brands"
s.How do foreign wines sell?'
s:It is strange fact, but foreigners

it than the natives do. The average
American, who drinks wine, thinks
nothing is like the imported article,
while the foreigner, who has tried
them both, prefers that made here.
But since the prohibition question has
started and several states have de-
clared for temperance, more WINE is
sold for sacramental purposes than
was ever known before. This gives
the wine trade boom. Every whole
sale dealer sends his circular to the
prohibition states stating he sells only
the pure juice of the grape for church
services. Every drugstore in every
village, hamlet, and town lays in a
supply of sacramental wine, and this
year I predict that three times as many
gallons will be sold for sacred pur-
poses as was last year. This will bring
the figures up to 100000 gallons.
When prohibition rules out malt
liquors, then the pure wine is in de-
mand, and the drug-stores do land

First Confederate Battle Flags.

From Mrs. Burton Harrison's ''Rec-
elections of Virginia Girl in the First
Year of the War;" the following is tax
en-: "Another incident of note, in per.
sonal experience during the autumn OF
'61, was that to two of my cousins
and to me was intrusted the making
OF the first three battle flags Of the con-
federacy, directly after congress had
decided upon a design for them. They
were iaunty squares OF scarlet crossed
with dark blue, the cross bearing stars
to Indicate the number of the seeding
states. We set our best stitches upoE
them, edged them with golden fringes,
and when they were finished, dispatch
ed one to Johnston, another to Beau
regard, and the third to Earl Van Dorr
the latter afterward a dashing cav
airy leader, but then commanding in.
fantry at Manassas. The ban
ners were received with all the
enthusiasm we could have hoped
for; were toasted feted, cheered
abundantly. After two years,
when Van Dorm had been killed in
Tennessee, mine came back to me,
tattered and smokestained from long
and honorable service IN the held,
But it was only little while after it
had been bestowed that there arrived
one day at our lodgings in Cullpeper
huge, bashful Mississippi scout-one
Of the most daring in the army--with
the frame ola Hercules and the face OF
child. He was bldden to come there
by his general, he said to ask If ]
would not give him an order to fetch
some cherished object from my dear
old home-something that would
prove to me how much they thought
of the maker of that fag!' after some
hesitation, I acquiesced, although
thinking it jest; A week later was
the astonished recipient of a lamented
bit of fnery left within the lines
wrap of white and azure brought by
Dillon himself, with a beaming face.
He had gone through the Union pickets
mounted on load of frewood, and,
while peddling poultry, had presented
himself at our town house, whence he
carried off his prize in triumph, with
letter in it's folds, telling us how rel.
atives left behind longed to be sharing
the joys and SORROWS of those at large
in the confederacy."

the nose. The boy, whose sense of
justice was also injured, rushed into
the school house to inform the princi-
pal. Unfortunately one of the teach
ers was coming out of the door at the
same moment, and he was almost inn
paled by the impetuuus youth. In
fact, the two colliding bodies were al
most telescoped by the collision. For
tunately, the teacher retained his
presence of mind. Without asking for
an investigating committee, he dealt
the luckless youth box on the ear
that sounded like hitting beefstea
with the fiat side of an ak. For a
second time the boy detected the heav-
emily bodies. We mean, of course, he
saw stars.
The good little boy did not linger
around the teacher, who was partially
doubled up from the force of the col
Hsion, but was nevertheless lifting his
boot to kick. The boy kept right on
upstairs, until he rushed almost
breathless into the room of the princi-
pal. ASsoon as he was able to do so.
the pupil said:-
''The teacher boxed my ears, and L
hadn't touched the donkey"
"Call your teacher donkey, do
you?' calculated the principal, llvid
with rage at the slur at the professor;
and once more the good little Sunday
School boy got it right and left, more
consultations bursting upon his enrap-
tured vision. 1t seemed to him as if
he had suddenly sat down in front of
a drug store.
The idea that had been instilled into
the youthful mind of that boy, that the
good were rewarded and the bad pun
ished, is undergoing some modification,
at which we can hardly wonder

AMERICAN GIRLS.

An Eminent Divine Says They Are MOI
Mere Appendages to Saratoga Trunks.
Prof. Swing in Chicago Current.
The girl Of to-day, with rare excep-
tions, is Industrious and with breadth
OF invention and execution. The ironi-
cal and often mean ESSAYS on the wom-
an OF the present often picture her
as good for little except for accom-
panylng Saratoga trunk on it's wan
derings in summer and for filling fash
1onable engagements in winter Much
of this sarcasm is deserved by the few,
but when the millions of girls are
thought of as they are ornamenting
their mothers homes in the villages
and cities, the honest heart cannot
but confess that the word 'sgirl' never
being, when found in her best estate,
can 60 gracefully from her silk dress
and piano to plain garb and to work
among plants, or to the kitchen, or to
a mission school class In the city
she can easily walk three miles. Ian
guor has ceased to be fashionable;
sleep in the day time not to be en-.
dured. The soul is thought to be
action, not repose.
All can contradict these words Of
praise; because all who think a mo.
ment can find exceptions in girls who
are always just dead with a headache,
or as averse as mummy to any kind
of conversation or activity; girls who
who are pleased with nothing and no.
body; These exceptions are so disa-
greeable that they seem to mar the
whole world and make the beautiful
characters invisible. In matters oi
this this kind one can only offer opinions
! One dare not assert with confidence.
At a popular summer resort, where
quite number of these 16-year NOR.
tails were met and observed daily, it
appeared in evidence and in common
fame that to be full of obedience to-
ward parents, of kindness toward all
persons and things, to be Industrious.
to be full of inquiry and rational talk
was not the exception, but the average
of condition.
Why should few girls of marked
vanity and of giggling tendencies
cast into reproach that multitude
whose hearts are as innocent as the
June flowers and June birds? Much
of the ruin of character comes in the
/ later years of woman, when the i'm
prudence OF late dancing, late suppers
and the mental anxiety, and, perhaps
sorrows which come from the vain ef
forts of the heart to create a paradise
of pleasure away from duty, make the
cheek fade early and the eye lose its
luster in the morning, like sun that
goes behind clouds before noon. AS
for noble girls of 16, the Western con.
tinent is full Of them. They are in the
cities, in the villages, in the farm houses
We meet them on all streets, along al
paths in the lone and lovely country
They are ready for all duty and hap
piness, and constitute to us older and
fading hearts the most beautiful and
divine scene on earth.

Human Justice.

1t must have frequently occurred to
the most casual observer of human
affairs, that justice is mere mockery
The man who is bad is just as apt to
enjoy health and happiness as the man
who goes to church and leads an ex-
emplary life. In fact, it would seem
as if the good were singled out for per-
secution. They certainly seem to have
more than their share of bad luck. An
lllustration, on a small scale, of how
the bad escape while the good are pun
ished for the sins of the bad, occurred
in Anstin short time ago.
A small cart, to which donkey was
attached, was left standing in front of
a school-house. The driver had gone
into neighboring saloon to slake his
thirst. The mischievous boys gather
ed around the vehicle and proceeded
to annoy the animal by punching him
In the abdomen and other parts with
sharp sticks. They also impaired
spiral shape to his tail by twisting it.
They also tied the donkey's ears to-
gether, much to the discontinue of
Che animal, but much to the amuse-
ment of the urchins, who deserved the
severest punishment for their cruelty.
Did the thunderbolts of heaven fall
upon them and destroy them? Hardly
any.
A small boy named Smith was stand
ing off at a short distance looking on.
He had been good boy even before
he was weaned. He never gave-his
friends any trouble. He went to Sun
day school and brought home medals.
In this affair he was really sympathiz-
ing with the donkey. He took no part
whatever in the hazing of the poor
brute. On the contrary he was she'd
ding tears over the cruelty of the bad
boys, when suddenly the proprietor of
the animal emerged from the saloon.
He charged furiously upon the boys.
They saw him in time, and fled in every
direction, making good their escape.
The little boy did not run. He had done
mo wrong. Conscious innocence made
him bold. The driver of the donkey
came down upon the good little boy
like an avalanche, boxing his ears
until he had slight hemmorhage of

said to be the fortunate possessor OF
SIS ,OOO,OOO-a very comfortable sum
to have at ones command. Mr.. Rice
knows how to use it to his own enjoy

He is a young man, not 35, it is said,
with olive complexion, dark brown
hair, large hazel eyes, q good straight
nose and well-brushed, close-cut
beard overhung by a long mustache.
He dresses quietly, and, while his
clothes are all of the handsomest ma
terial, he seems to have a fancy for a
top coat that is a little worn in the
seams, SO that his clothes willn have
the appearance of having just come
from the tailor. Mr.. Rice is a very busy
man. for besides taking care of his
money he looks after the interests OF
the North American Review, engages
contributors, and when he is in New
York takes entire charge of the editor
