than brick houses; we have excel
lent clay in the vicinity and when
the demand begins can furnish a
fine article from our Astoria brick
yards. It is singular how the me
tropolis is obliged to go back to
substantial brick. In the good
old knickcrbocker days, Manhat
tan was nearly wholly given up to
brick, which was imported from
Holland. Many of .these older
houses, rilics of those ancient
times, remain in as good condition
as ever, to-day. aftr r a lapse of two
centuries In the flush times of
New York, during and immedi
ately after the war, brick would
not do for that ambitious cit3, and
stone, principally marble and
brownstonc was used instead. It
was louiul not so good, because it
scaled, and was otherwise worn
and injured by the weather. The
stone was followed by the iron
age, which can be traced by rows
of iron buildings on the principal
business thoroughfares of the city.
Neither marble nor iron were found
to make a house as Jong-lived and
as safe against decay or fire as
brick, and back to brick New
York is now going. A weli con
structed brick house will last for
centuries, whereas one of iron will
begin to show its ago at the end of
the first century. No kind of
stone can stand the severe Atlan
tic climate without scaling or split
ting. Brick is the building mate
rial of the future for eastern folk,
and the average urban dweller" can

laration in reference to Rome, and

SALMON:
Wiinx Sin Cuaules Lykll, the
eminent geologist, was in America,
he sccnib to have had some curi
ous advice given him about travel
ing Ion Mississippi steamboats.
"Never pay your fare until you are
compelled to," was the first piece
of wisdom thrown at him. 'And,
pray, why not?" he asked.
"Because 3our chances are better
in case of trouble." ""Will ou
kindly explain yourself, sirV" said
Lyell. "Well," answered the
American, "when I was traveling
up the river last March, somebody
cried out, 'Passenger overboard!'
The captain hurried to the office
and atked 'Has the man overboard l
paid his fare?' On being answered
in tho affirmative, he turned to the
pilot and said indifierentlv, 'Go
ahead; itTs all right.' "
