Several suits for the recovery nf commissions have buon brought of late by some special , general , or would- be agents , and the services rendered by each of them arc put up in every con- cuivablo form. The matter has como to hiiuli u pass thuta property holder avers It is really tinsafo for a proprietor to lut his land remain out ot doors , for the reason that seine bulldo/ing agent is lunro than likely to bo heard knocking at llio uian's door , repeating the biblical command of the Naznrune /acchens , 'Come down ! " Several citix.uns have united in preparing a law , which they intend to have passed , making parties liable to agents for com missions only when the same is in writing , tugnod by both owner and agent. At Niagara Falls the standing warning is "Howaro of the hackman ; " at Lincoln , "Beware of the real estate agent. " 1 < A 1)1 US IN ItKAL K3TATH. During tuo past week Airs. E. T.

There was little business of import nnco bcforo the district court yesterday and not until the present week will there bo a really advance inado in trials. Two or thrco of the prisoners in the couuty jail awaiting trial have boon ar- raiirned , pleading not guilty and haying counsel assigned to thoin. Ono of thu recent cases in court was commenced the last week , involving litigation over the sale of some lots near Seventh and L Blreots. These lots were sold in so far ns the Now York City owner is concerned , for fJJ.OOO. and the Jota are reputed to command $8,000 in the market nt the present time. The litigation arises over the question of who purchased the lots , The case is Ilonry Voith vs J. II. Mo- Murtry , D. U. Howard ot al , and Air. Vt.'tth recites hi his petition that he re ceived by letter from the owner in Now York City an oiler to him of the lots tor Sy.GOO. Mr. Voith allugcs that ho at once ftcconted the oiler by telegram and ab > o telegraphed a money order for $500 us a partial payment. Mr. Veith further ullcges Ihiit'on the day that ho made this purchase MoMurtry found out about it , and. by cpllusion and fraud , Halming to bo the agent of the property , Immedi ately made a pretended sale of the lots for the Hiimo amount to U. B. Howard. Mr. Voith sots forth that this was no sale , but that it was a scheme of AlcMnrtry to pet the lots himself turough connivance with Howard. As there appears to bo about M.OOO profit in the deal over the common Belling price , the case promises to bo dc cidcdly interesting when it receives i hearing.THE THE Mr.TnOI > I3T HNIYKllSITV.

Not only is it doubtful that the "Queen of Song" will over re visit us , but it would bo an impossibility to reunite live such brilliant artists to- ? cthor again. For Iho number of years that Mine. Adellna 1'atli has sung and for the tremendous work that she has so brilliantly accomplished in her ropeatcd "tours11 iiroiiiuS the world , it seems not only marvellous but phenoininal that her voice , instead of maturing , should have gained in fullness and depth of tone , if such a thing wcro possible. The pro gramme of hist Thursday evening was well suited to bring out the diva's great powers of versatility and adaption. What can bn more exquisite in "mi'lhod" and "stylo" than her delicate "pomorz.imlo" and brilliant "stac cato" in the famous "rondo" of "Ardon gl'lnceii'ii ! " What phrasing could be more beautiful and rulinrd than her phrasing of "Hel Haggio" and "The Last Rose of Summer1 She displayed such artistic delicacv of sentiment ai.d breadth of tone lu "Home , Sweet Home" that she created out of u simple , unpre tentious song a porfoet masterpiece ! Nothing stems to alter the wonderful and faultless condition of her voice time ; weather , change of climate , fatiguu , have no avail , for it is always as pure , clear , flexible ami binllikc ai it wa when she made her "debut" as a mere child of 1(5.

The miraculous ease with which Madame Patti can change from ono register to another is not only due to her faultiest method and immense study but to her voice itself.

CANTAIJILU. A FOUR DAYS' TRIP. A Promised Revolution in TransAtlantic lantic Steamships. New York Tribune- The dispatch from Washington published lately stating that the Arrow Steamship ami Shipbuild ing company , of New York , had pur chased the Marine railroad and ship-yard at Alexandria , Va. , was confirmed at" the ollicc of the company. No. 115 Hroadway. Kobert M. i'rycr , chief engineer of the line , said : "We will begin work at onc04to build the ways for our lirst steamship , the Po- cuhoutiis ; but there are to oo no exten sive shops built there. Our framc , which are simply the bulkheads , and all of tlio plates will bo prepared at the works where we are having them made. The completion of this vessel , and others to follow , will mark an era of revolution in the Trans-Atlantic trade , since they arc to bo constructed upon a new principle and with an estimated speed to make the voy.'igo from New York to Liverpool in a little more than four days. We will not cairy any freight , excepting , possibly , a few express packages , but tlie vessels are designed for passenger traffic alono. " Jt is said that twelve such vessels are to bo built , each to bear a historic Indian name. The modeli and drawings at the ollice of the company present a unique and promising appearance , but oilier Dcople are not sanguine of the success of the company and the practicability of the vessels as are the itirectors. Mr. Fryer believes tint ho has solved thu problem of swift and sate ocean navigation in this creation of his , as the ves-iul is solely his invention. The I'ocahontas is to be an iron and steel ship , and instead of being built on lateral lines , as iins always been the cus tom , she will be built upon sixty-eight transverse steel walls or bulkheads seven and a half feet apart , each of the full size and accurate shape of a cross section of the vessel. These walls will have openings cut in them for the tmloons , passage ways , tunnels , etc. , with vertical longitudinal walls through them , thus making 1.000 water-tight compart ments , of which 000 are to bo below the water Hue. She will bo provided witli compound engines of 27,08tf horse power , capable of giving a speeit of twenty-two knots an hour. There will bo twenty boilers to furnish steam for the main en gines , placed fore and aft of tiie vessel , with thrco smoke pipes on each bide of the ship next to the rail. What ntl'ect heavy seas will Imvo on the smoke pipes thus arranged remains to Ixifieen , Her dimensions are to bo 540 feet in length , 10 feet beam , and draft of water 23i feet. _ Nineteen 3Ten J-Jicciited at Once. Ypkohama Oazotto : December 11 at Pekin was execution day , and the.re were thirty-nun prisoners , among whom were several men of rank , who were under sen tence of death by decapitation or stran gling.

It appears that lie had been writing on the Herald fourteen years. I had known him very well quite ten years. During all that period lie was distin guished by what Charley Thorno used to call his "versatility. " lie xvns a gentle man and bore himself with dignity and ease in circles of the lirst rank , whether they wore literary , aesthetic or purely social , lie was a man of the world and was at homo among the dcseiples of IKtlana. Ho knew all the pugilists of note. There wasn't ' a restaurant , n caio , a hotel or a resort of any kind in which ho didn't feel perfectly at his ease , and no great ball was complete without his cheery presence. He had a gift of poesy , and to the Morning Journal contributed columns upon columns of jocular , senti mental , pathetic taking , verse. Quito a man ? Oh , yes , but who knew it ? Come now , I am talking to at least a million readers. Who of you all , until to day read of , heard of .James H. Fisher , of James B. Fisher who is an apt illustra tion of .scores of useful , bright , vivacious , entertaining , instructive men upon tlni press in this city , and of thousands more scattered throughout the country , work ing day and night , with head and heart and zeal , bringing the combined forces of natural talent , acquired culture and long experience to the service of a public who never hears , and certainly never eares , about the hand that guides the pen , or ttie heart that beats back of it. uox'r CAKI : MUCH rou "sir.s.

Jt is one thing to be proprietor of a news paper , successful , fortunate , on-driving to further prosperity , with regu lar hours from 0 in the morn- inir until 4 in the after- no7m , with comforts , and a homo that need not bo left on icy nights , or in August boats , with everything to rest the brain and cheer the heart and make en joyable existence. It is quite another to be a mere "literary feller , " whom neces sity perhaps , and often , whom incfinn- tio'n doubtless has led to that thorny patii recognized as journalism , to bo at the beck and call of half a dozen masters , to he sent here when you wish , to go here , to be compelled to obey , to look on Sat urday night at the customary pittance , to contrast it with the tremendous fortunes - tunes built up by the efforts of men long sincj dead , kept up by the under dogs in this unequal light. It is quite u different thing. NKWSl'AI'hB LIFK. Men of self respect , men of sturdy in dependence , often find themselves bend ing n.uch lower the haughty head than they approve because of gnawing stomachs achs and hungry eyes and unclad foot at home. There is no occupation known to man so packed with possibilities of men tal refreshment , of bodily enjoyment , of human healthfullness , of humanitarian endeavor as journalism. 1 take no stock in the oft repeated -.tory that news paper men are underpaid. That is but another way of saying that they arc part of the human race. The human raeo is divided into two uneven parts. The one gets what it wants. The other , and vastly the larger , is com pelled to take what its employer is willing to give. There is no necessity of entering upon a discussion of this. It is a Kimplo , patent , demonstrable fact. Wo find here a fanner who linds it dilli- cult to drag from the unwilling oil corn enough for his hogs , grass enough for liis cow. vegetables enough for his family , while right alongside are the fat fields of opulence , whoso grain \vaves in the Mini- mor breezes , trom which como monumental mental crops of corn , potatoes , of all known vegetables , with masses of hay so voluminous as to crnck the very sides of substantial barns , and necessitate the stacking of its shapely piles in open fields.

Yet who has worked harder , whose road has been more tor- tiioti3 Who has fought more fiercely. who has had more blows to take as well as to give than ho ? And yet Charles A. Uana can look back over his forty years of journalism and count you four gener ations of newspaper men who have conic , w ho have labored , who have gone. The festive occasions hold in the rooms of the Now York Press club disclose the fact that the vast majority of the men of the press nro young -under thirty. Fisher was but thirty-three , and yet 93 conspic uous had been his service that the New York Herald , which may well be con sidered the dean of our profession , saw fit to pay liirn a tribute which was as merited and as just in its estimate as it was graceful ami alleetionato in terms. One of the points made was the anony mous character of Fisher's work. AXOXYMOl'3 IXDKr.D , fet even his friends , companions and as sociates were not always informed of the authorship of his matter. It is a curious feature in journalism that writers invari ably read what they have written , aud rarely read what others have wriiten un less it bo for a purpose. Como with me into the rooms of tliol'rcss club. See the. young men who write upon our leading journals. Kach buys the paper on which he is employed. Kach turn to the page on which his article appears. Each reads what he had written , Curious ? Oh , no. You go to church , you hear Mr. UeeclierV Mr. Talmagc. Mr. Hall , Mr. 1'hillips Brooke. Mr. Anybody prcaeh. Tim next morning > ou take your paper and turn , first of all , to n report of the sermon you heard delivered. Why ? You heard it , ton know all about it. As a rule there is nothing but the pith presented. You cannot explain why you do it , except on the broad 'ground ot human contemporaneous interest. You go to a Hay , or to ' ) opera , and when you read the criticisms , or reports as they would much better be called , you read first that which treats of the play , or the opera you saw or heard. Why ? UNKNOWN AL-TIIOIW. So it is with newspaper writers , and in all probability among the army of men employed by the New York Herald who know Fisher intimately , were his com panions and associates , on an average not more than once in a dozen times would any person save the city editor , or the managing editor , or the blue pencil fiend who marks the paper lor Mr , licnnctt's ' information , know that lie was the author of that particular article. Now what do men work for ? What has Fisher gained for his four teen years of intelligent industry ? Money ? That's nonsense. Wo all know better than that. The best paid journalists rarely save dollar , anil Fisher , with no family dependant upon him , with no ne cessities hanging about his neck , worked when he pleased and spent all he re ceived. For fame , perhaps ? Well , in vie1 w of the obituary , and this letter , it is obvious that no fame attended his progress throifgh life , and the fame that comes after life is ended , and death completed , is no particular consolatory in the hours of tribulation passed on earth. For what then , could ho have worked ? There comes a strong argument in favor of saving banks , life insurance companies and signatures. HOW Till : OLI > I'KI.LOWS KCOXOMIX.KD. Wo know that I'eter Cooper 1 sty : we , I know it because he told mo himself when a day laborer at $ 1 put away 50 cents each day. The books of successful merchants tell us how Astor , Vanderbilt , all the great money savors who accumu lated fortunes for other people to spend , put away little by little. Mr. lloguot , ot the Kmigrant Savings bank told me that he had 115 , 000 individual accounts upon the books of his bank , and all arc active accounts. As I stood witli him in the Dank on Chambers street I looked at the rowspf foreigners there , Irish. German and Swedes. There were hundreds there waiting their chance to deposit. They were the rich people of the future. Their children will sit in the Mctiopolitan opera house half a decade hence , as to-day wo lind sitting there the families of men wjio began in thisCooporian man ner , putting away KIITY CENTS A DAY or whoso fathers did it for them. It is possible for a man so to live ami so to save , but he must be constituted to that end when he begins. He must have the grip between his thumb and forefinger. He must have somewhere in tiis mind a bump of coin appreciation , for mind you f don't believe that I'eter Cooper , or any of those people , said to themselves , " ! will put away this fifty cents to day in order that fifty years from now my chil dren and grandchildren may make splur ges. " There may be such men as that also , but I don 't belie votiiat Peter Cooper over liad such a thought in his mind. I believe he was a good man. with an ap preciation , even at an early ago of the power of money , and ho determined then to use that power ivlien it caino in his grasp tor the good and the healing of the nations , so far as ho could , Now Fisher , like the rust nf us , might doubtless have put awav somethingovcry day , but ho didn't. What , then , could ho have had , taking into consideration tuo elements which combine I formed his peculiar composition V NOTHING t XMK : JIIAVIX : : that 1 can HKO , except the gratification that necessarily attends a recognition of success. How instantly that divides itself into two parts. Your own recogni- tiiui of your sucpcss , and the public's rccognstion of your success. Some mim arc so constituted that they rather enjoy ntibllo misaphreciation. Don't you belie - lie mi that old Pamo , the miser , chuckled when I gave him a quarter ot a dollar , and he had half n million dollars done up like n bundle of rags under his arm ? Don't you believe that his keen apprecia tion of thn humor of the situation almost paid him for the dirt and thu squalor and the nastine.ss in wihch ho lived and moved and had his being ? 1 do. To some men the aonslant swinging of a censer with Its incanso of flattery , is a necessity ; to dthers it is a drsgiibt. Sonio years ago , aljtho suggestion ot Mr , Dana 1 wrote a sent's of articles for the Sun ; aud 1 was amazed when ho asked mo to put my own name at the bottom. I said , "Why , Mr. Dana , don't yon too what you do for a man in allowing him to put Ills own name to his articles * " JUS ICEl'J.Y WAS I'KOMIT and characteristic , "Jf 1 don't care , why bhould yon ? " As n money making factor a signuturo is a great thing , Lut so far as outside recognition is concerned it doesn't amount to shucks. Thu kind favor of my Hrt employer , who was not only a proprietor but a gentleman , nut only a master , but a man , gave me , when 1 first began to write in 18GO , my signa ture , and while it .has often times' been an embarrassment and pften times a hindrance. , and very , very often a check to free lancism , there is no question but that it has been of great pecuniary value. Kti'i that is not .what Fisher lived forund it isn't what who .strive- snyBof us - earn estly iiiul zealously in our profession live for. I verily behove that lo ninety-nine ineu in sry luiadr 'i cfs the good opinion , the hisldo apprcol- I ntion of his companions and associates in , tlic profession is of moro consequence , i of moro absolute value than all the money ho can earn , than all tno public | I recognition that can bo given , than all , the poppycock and flattery they get from people who peek to use them , than all I the "fuino" that may attend them in their most sni-ccssftil years.

Fisher was buried Wednesday morn ing.

It is not a new ticld , perhaps , this dis cussion of the tall hat , but I desire in my poor , weak way to udd my testimony to the testimony of those who have sat down on said hat. I feel of a truth occasion ally that thiri high hat is making an old man of mo and drawing lines of care here and there over my lair young faee. Here at a time ot life when I ought to bo ill the full llu.ih and pride of manhood I fjnd myself no longer able to build the lire in the morninir , nnd my breath , which was once as robust as that of the upas tree now comes in short pants. The tall hat with a wad of timothy or a five pound pompon at Iho npex thereof , has brought this about. How would a man look who might .sit in the bald- headed row wearing a joint of stovepipe on his head trimmed with hay ? Has it not been the custom tor vears to place bald-headed men in the front row , be cause they otl'crcd no obstruction to the vision ? And now , what do we FCO ? Wo do not see anything ! I will leave it to any disinterested per son to say whether I do not love and ad mire woman , whether aggregated or seg regated , but she does do home thmgH which as her friend aim admirer I deeply regret. Not long ago I had the pleasure of at tending one of Mr. Iiooth's performances in which he took the part ol Hamlet with great credit to himself , as I afterwards learned from a member of the orchestra who saw the whole performance. If I had not promised a former wife of mine that I would never touch liquor I would have buen amply jii til'c < i that evening in Fitturating myself with bay rum or .some other f > cducliyo beverage. I paid u large price a week beforehand for a scut at the Hamlet performance , becaiiAO I hud met Mr. Ilootli once in the Rocky mountains and hud made a deep impression on him. I hud also told him that if ho over happened to hu in a town where I was lecturing I would dismiss my audience to como and hear him , and he might do as he thought best about shut ting up on the following night to como und hear mo. Well , I noticed at lir t , when I went in , that llio row before mo WHS unoccupied , and I gathered mjself up in a strong , manly embrace and hugired myeclf with joy. The curtain Inimped itiolf , and the lirit net was about In the act of produc ing itself , when a wc.uk little gentlcmnn , with an air of conscious gilt , came down the aisle in mlvuneo of a womau'o excur sion , c meriting of four female mumbero of his futility , 1 judged. He looked about over the house , imiiilly took oil' his c ( > at and bcemed to be preparing himself for the vigilance committee. ' 1 hen li sat down to ! co whether executive clemency could do anything for him. The first woni'tn of the four was prob ably oycr forty , and yet with her smot ! bc.-irdles.s t'ace slinl < t ked scarcely thirty- . night. Mie worn it tail , erect hat. with i ; sort of plume to it , made by pulling the paml brurh tail out of .mi iron gray inulii ! i a < it { dying it a deep erinison. | I Shoivorv other clothing , but that did i rot intense to much as Ups hot , which 1 \ I. .

Shu ' also spoke to the miserable man who brought her. Her voice was a rich bari tone , with a low xylophone action , and she breathed like the passionate exhaust of an overworked freight engine When she spoke to her escort i noticed that hn shortened up about four inches and seemed to wish that he hud never entered society. The other three women had broad hats with domes to them , and the one who sat on my right alsu cat on her foot. This gave her a line opportunity to look out through the skylight of the opera house now and then The next ono lo her were a deceased Plymouth Hock rooster in her hat. The fourth one sat in front of an old ish gentleman who went out between llio acts and came in with a pickled olive in his mouth each time. He could not sco anything on the htuge , but ho crawled up under the brim of this woman's hat , witli his nose in tlio meshes of her hair , and his hot , local option breath in her neck , p-i- ticntly trying to see whether the .slender legs in long. IHnck hose belonged to Mr. lU.o'li ' , Apnjlimirii.s or the ballet. It you will continue in your excellent paper lo sit down on tiio tall hats , I will get you quite a number of Mib.scribura here.
