BERLIN, Feb. 1.-THE North American
Gazette says that yesterdays manifestation
in the Reichstag reflects not only the
agreement Of the whole American people
with Prince BismRrck's policy, but It also
testifies TO the unity and strength with
which they are ready in every way 10 &C.
complish their task and act as guardians Of
the peace.
The National Ztitung says: "Pincs
Bismarck's declarations against every Rg.
gressive war are and will remain the per-
manent guiding star Of the German policy.
Prince Bismarck, in acqusintipg the Ger.
mana with the idea Of accustoming them
selves to bearing heavy military charges
as fundamental condition Of our position,
has freed the nation from a stste Of mind
which psralyzsd its economic life"
The Posgiehe Zeitung says II is impossi-
BILE to build up golden bridge for peace
in q more friendly manner than Prince
Bismarck did In bis speech yesterday.
TGgsblatt says Prince Bismarck's view Of
historical events displayed love for peace
carried to ita furthest limits, which ls
only permissible to q state Of feeling which
is itself strong.
The Delltsehes Tdgebldh says that no Ger
man ever appreciated the value Of the
spirit Of living in national strength as
Prince Bismarck showed that he did.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE Queen held a
Cabinet Council at osburne Castle to-day
and Her MSjssty signed the speech to be
read at the opening OF Parliament on
Thursday.
In the interest which Prince Bismarck's
speech in the Reichstag hRs excited here,
the activity incident to the near approach
Of session Of Parliament Is for the mo-
ment lost sight Of, but the utmost activity
prevails among all political parties and
sections nevertheless.
The periodical production called the
"Qusen' 'sspeech" to-day received the ususl
routine approval Of Her Majesty, and the
ministerial programme Is finally formu.
lated and awaiting the fall Of the Speak

ed by Mr.. PaTnell for ThuredRy morning,
Is expected to be extremely lively, as II is
known that several Of the leading Home
Rulers are opposed to the policy Of non.
obstruction advised by their CHIEF, and
the open revolt Of those members would
surprise nobody. 1t is bad enough, 1t Is
argued, to hear the humiliation imposed
by arbitrary procedure Of the majority,
but infinitely worse 10 be compelled 10
make no show Of resistance to the party in
power; and doubt Is expressed that Mr..
Parnell can hold his forces together upon
the lines he has laid down.

The Strange Whim of Au Old MAn-Salo o
RNOtod Piece Of.RsAl Estate.

NEW YoRE, Feb. There was an sx,
scutor's sale at the real estate exchange
yesterday Of q piece Of property with q
remarkable. history. 1t consisted Of 627
and 629 Broadway and 1856 and 1893 Mer-
Ger street, covering plot so feet wide by
200 feet deep. SsAbury Brewster, who
made fortune in dry goods, bought 1t In
1851, intending that the income from 1t
should make bis declining days comforts
BILE. He still owned 1t ct his death in
1884. The property was boarded up dur.
ing the latter half Of the thirty.three years
that intervened, because the owner
thought It ought to bring O higher rent
that anyone would offer him. His friends
tried to argue him out Of his purpose, but
he replied that he had made up his mind
to get his own figure or nothing, and was
not to be turned from that determination.
As years went by the property became
"BreWster's folly" The old man rather
enjoyed the comment his sction ex.
cited and he paid without q muir
muir the yearly taxes levied against
1t, amounting while 1t was vacant close
to $4,000. The long period Of vacancy
damaged the neighborhood. Here was
an unagbtly place, which apparently no
tenant wanted, and the block in Broad
way below Bleecker street thus lost char.
scter in some degree among business men.
When It at last became commonly under.
stood why the property was vacant, 80
much damage had 1t done the block that
It was not easy to repair 1t. All this time
Mr.. Brewster made his home OF the New
York Hotel, where he had very comfort
able bachelor quarters, and from which
he could stroll down past bis property and
get aa often as he liked whatever grim
there might be in looking
upon his work and in contemplating the

ages, and witnesses were ready TO prove
that the neighborhood had suffered by
conduct, and that other property owners
were therefore entitled TO redress. Mr..

rather have enjoyed the notoriety Of such

The undersigned respectfully pray that

With scarcely an exception the letters
