According to the information and be-
lief of wide awake member of the
Real Estate Exchange, nearly all the
foreign potentatcs are investors In New
York real estate. He declares to rep
resentative Of the Times that the pur-
chase OF valuable piece OF property IN
Nassau steet, made about year ago by
foreign banking house, was an invest
ment OF Queon victoria's. "The Queen
owns other real estate In this city" said
the we'll posted man." and she ha,
bought thousands OF acres Of land out
West. The royal family OF Germany has
extensive investments in this city aud
elsewhere, aud 80 has the King OF
Sweden. The ex.Empress Isabella of
Spain owns several pieces Of property In
this and Ia other parts OF the United
States. She is woman OF great fore
sight. The land on which the Western
Uuion Building stands was once the
property OF the Empress Eugenie, and I
presume that she still has some invest
ments here. King Humbert, Of Italy, is
, reported to be judicious buyer Of prop
srty In this country, and persons sus.
pectei OF being agents Of the Czsr OF
Russia have been looking about on this
side Of the water for frst-class invest

The California Tnrrct BuiId"r.

On the Pacific Coast there Is a
spider which builds its house, so Il
speak, in q very peculiar mapncr, and is,
therefore, styled the California turra
builder. 1t mines into the ground more
or less perpendicularly to the depth OF
eight or ten inches, and from a quarter
to half inch in diameter. The size OF
the house varies, according to the sex
and maturity. This burrow is lined
with silk throughout, and the nest OF q
full grown female will have turret three
inches in height above the surface OF the
ground. The material of the turret is
made of whatever vegetation may be 10
the vicinity, woven together with silk.
1t has q wide range over California, tho
turrets presenting pleasing variation on
account of the different materials With
which they are made. in the rainy sea-
son they dig and enlarge these tubes;
but they do not then carry oil or scatter
the earth, but utilize it By building an
other earthen tuIret, reminding one,
when flushed. of miniature vase 10
terra Gotta, without lid or covering Of
any kind. The sexes occupy different
nests; but the newly y-hatche1 young oro
always found with the mother at the
bottom Of her bur,oN, which is more
roomy at the base than at the opening.

J spider of other regions, hut is smaller
and differs in other respects. 1t is some

tarantula; but Professor Rivers, from

State and Federal Authority Conflict

NORFOLK Va.-The United States
Circuit Court grand jury returned indict-
mcnts against Robert Taylor and Joseph
IL. Hulcher, judges of election for Jack
so, ward, Richmond, and Messrs. James
Lyons, Jr., and VIM. J. Orange, citizens
OF Richmond, for violation of the Federal
election laws.
The offense charged against the two
judges is that, having ordered several
deputy marshals from the polls, and said
deputies refusing to obey their orders,
they were committed to the city Jail oi
Richmond under the State law which
confens that authority upon all judges Of
election.
Me srs Lyons and Orange took the
marshals to the Jail as directed by the
judges; hence their indictment The
legality Of the supervisors and msrshals'
au hority will be tested in these cases.
