me before men, shall be denied before the

CHICAGO, October 26.-Wheat moder-
ate, trading early and quiet later, feeling,
however, steady and rather firm. The
opening was steady and prices held most
OF the session within sc a3sc. range and
closed 1sc higher for December and 1sc.
higher for May. The wheat crop of the
the United Kingdom was estimated by
some English authority to not exceed
seventy million bushels, and that import
requirements would equal $50 million
bushels.
Corn fair, all trade was transacted
within a narrow limit and strong feeling
prevailed, though no material advance
was established. The market opened a
shade higher than the closing prices OF
Yesterday, was firm and advanced hc.a

nearly the same as yesterday.
Oats were traded in to a moderate ex'

what He Proposes Doing with
His 5000 Acre Purchase.

We take the following from the New
York Tribune, and follow it with one on
the same subject from the Sun. The
extracts will be pleasant readings to
our subscribers.
The Tribune says
A model of the house which George W.
Vanderbilt will build on his estate of
5000 acres at Asheville, n. c., attracted
much attention Yesterday afternoon in
front of The Tribune Building The
model, about five feet long and three feet
wide, was taken from a wagon in
Nassau-st. to the office of Richard NJ.
Hunt, the architect, and while it was
passing the crowd teasted their eyes on
its towers and turrets, its suggestion Of
magnificent distances and imposing
proportions.
Mr.. Vanderbilt owns land for four
miles along the banks Of the French
Broad river, and on plateau which
commands wide range of mountain
and valley, with a high bluff at one side
and a succession of terraces leaGiiig to
the valley on the south and east, Mr..
Vanderbilt will build his country house.
1t will be a chateau i'll the French Rcnaiss-
ance style over 800 feet long, with
steep roofs and towers, and sharp gables,
and generally elaborate ornamentation
A prominent feature of the chateau will
be a stately oCtagOn tower near the
centre. This tower will inclose massive
stone staircase, and will he lighted on
three sides by great square windows. On
the side overhanging the bluff will be a
loggia, or great promenade, its ROOF
supported by stone pillars which will
frame the views of the river and valley
below i'll a succession of arches. The
house will be of buff Indiana limestone,
will be rooted with dark slate and will,
of cousse, contain the appointments of a
luxurious country house.
The grounds are to be laid out by
Frederick Law Olmstead. A prominent
feature will be great arbOretum, where
Mr.. Vanderbilt intends to make extensive
experiments in forestry, importing and
acclimating such foreign trees as are best
suited 10 the conditions of the soil and
climate. This work is not done any
where in the country and it's results may
be of great public usefulness. The grounds
will also contain big deer park, a small
lake and such other features as the
natural conformation may suggest.
Material and workmen are being collected
now aud work will begin in the spring.
The place is expected to be ready for
occupancy in about three years.
The Sun of the Goth says: A wagon
bearing miniature house was driven to
the Tribune building at $50 yesterday
afternoon, and q hundred people at once

Careless WorIkInen.

The falling of scatfod yesterday, with
perhaps it's fatal consequences, is calcu-
lated to draw attention to the insecure
methods by which work is done here.
Familiarity with risk and danger breed
contempt of them, and men go to their
work in the air with cool confidence
that makes a man on the ground shud-
der with apprehension. Breaking and
falling Scaffolds are by no means uncom-
mon here. 1t is an error, to call it by no
harsher name, that ought to be rene
died. If men will not value their own
lives and limbs, there are those who do.
