Our esteemed friend Judge Knapp
suggests that in case consolidation be
the ultimatum of “those little differ-
ences,” the Hon. \Vm. C. Street be
elected the city’s first mayor. And the
Judge has the time (in fact time drags
heavily on his hands at times) for the
new city clerkship, a team, by the way,
that would, we believe, gladan the
spirits of Indian Mahackcmo papooses.
From a recent speech by Seth Low,
President of Columbia College, New
York, before the State’ I‘eachers’ asso-
ciation, we cull this story about a hat-
ter: “I have been obliged in the course
of my official life, to veto the appoint-
ment of a hatter to be the farmer of a
truant home. When the hatter discov-
ered that the duties of a farmer includ-
ed the milking of a cow and raising po-
tatoes, the subsequent pioceedings, in

The “Ely stores” on East \Vashing-
ton street next to the Main and Wash-
ington street crossing of the Consolida-
ted railroad, have been purchased by
that company, so that when the new el-
evated structure is put 11p the present
sharp curve at that point can be large-
1y reduced, which will render safe a
much greater rate of speed than is now
allowable. It is probable that only a
portion of the rear of the stores will
have to be removed to complete the de-
sirable improvement.

That it is apt to strike one, the va-
ried way in which the number Three is
mentioned in the scriptures, and one
cannot help speculating whether it is
by design or accident that this particu-
lar figure is so often preferred. To
give a few instances only: The luck-
less Jonah was three days an inhabi-
tant of the whale; Samuel heard the
voice three times ; three times Saul
essayed to kill David with a javelin;
Jonathan shot three arrows on David’s
behalf; three wise men came to wor-
ship Christ with presents three ; Christ
spoke three times to Satan when tempt-
ed. He prayed three times before his
betrayal ; Peter denied him three times;
Christ suffered three hours agony on
the cross; the superscription was in
three languages, and three men were
crucified ; the third day Christ rose
again, and appeared three times to his
disciples ; Saul was without sight three
days ; Faith, Hope and Charity, these
these three, and so on. The record
might extend indefinitely.

I’rie 03 Of Real Estate.
To show the rapid and continuous
growth of real estate in New York, we
quote the following from a morning
paper of recent date : “A few months
ago one of the shrewdest financiers in
this city, a man never known 'to let
anything go for less than itsvaluc, sold
a- lot of land on Fifth avenue, not far
from Fifteenth street, measuring 25
feet, 2 inches across the front, for
$65,000. Ten days ago the purchaser
tried to buy the adjoining lot and was
told he might have it for $512 5, 000. His
offer of $90,000 w as laughed at. Such
is real estate on Fith avenue. Peter
Minuit, Lord:Director General of the
Colony of New Netherlands, never
dreamed of this when he bought the
Island of Manhattan of the Manhattoes
and XVickquaskeeks for the sum of $24
in Dutch coin. That historic purchase
was at the rate of $1.20 per 1,000 acres.
There are parts of the island which
could not be bought to-day at $24 a
squre inch. The present market value
of all the real estate is more than $2.-
000, 000, 000. ”

The Norwalk branch of the Hall dry

Lester Hyatt, who for many years was
a clerk here with ‘Smith & Earle, and
Scofield & Hoyt. He has a host of
warm personal friends who rejoice at
his return here, and who hope it will
prove a successful venture and lead to
his permanent location here.
