TUESDAY BVEKINQ, JULY 26, 1881.
AT THE SEASIDE.
TMK I'PPER JERSEY RESORT:).
Town Let at Lene Branch and Leis of
Religion at Ocean ureve.
Real estate at Leng Branch is being put
up somewhat iceklessly en the styngth of
several new men of wealth having built or
bought there within the past year. Land
is held at about $4,000 au acre for half a
mile back from the beach, most of it worth
about 81,300. Prices en the ocean front
are wholly arbitrary, generally about $100
a front feet. An acre is commonly reck
oned at sixteen New Yerk building lets
or rising 200 feet square. Tlie cottages en
the ocean front, south of the West End
hotel are, in order, Leech's, General A.
Webb's, IJiicc Gray's, Woerishefler's, Na
than's, Scligmau's, Drexcl's, Leech's, the
three Curtises father aud two sons Hen Hen
dereon's (the theatie mau), Nehemiah
Perry's Drekaw's, Billings's, Wright's,
Barbour's. Grant's. Fahnestock's Ames
Cutting's, Garrison's, Moses Tayler's, his
seu in law, Wiuthrep s, Hard's (the cof
fee man), and, passing the Elberon cot
tages, Gai laud's, Victer Newceme's and
Herace White's. Here are twenty-seven
places en the ocean front. Ne houses en
this side aie cuceuutcicd till wc come te
Deal.
On the opposite side, separated by the
gicat drive from the ocean lawns, are
these cottages, beginning below the club
house at the West End hotel ; Daniel
Deughcity's, cost $22,000, with about four
acres. Behind it aie the four new cottages
put up last j ear by Walter S. Green.
Next, the two. Stcrnbcrger's, and beyond
the dam Chailuttc Rhede's, Gentry's, Miss
Billings's, Pullman's, Grant's, lcccntly
sold for $25,000 ; Blumenthal's, L. B.
Biown's, Themas Muiphy's. The Elber
on cettaircs aud stables extend te the ditch
opposite Newceme's.
Figures and " points" en some of these
houses have been given me, as fellows :
Commedoic Gauiseu's "cottage" rather,
matine tillage cost $70,000; Fahnes
tock's, of the First National bank, was
bought for $24,000 nearly two years age,
and has cost $15,000 since ; Child's pretty
blue cottage cost $18,000 originally ; new
represents $2.1,000. Ames Cutting's, en
Senater Jenes's old let, cost $25,000 ; Mo
ses Tayler's cost $40,000, and adding his
son-in-law Winthren's and the two lawns
stands for $125,000. This is one of the
Bosten Av mthrep s. Geerge M. Pullman's
cottage aud double lawns, en both sides
the diive. represent $07,500. Murphy's
cottage and grounds, also double, cost in
Hush times, $80,000 ; the stable cost $12,
000 and the billiard hall $10,000. The
numerous small cottages around the El
beron hotel cost in dull years $2,250 te
$4,000 apiece. Judge Hilten's purchase
south of the Elbeien hotel, 350 feet by
about 800 feet, cost him recently $30,000,
or $100 per front feet. He bought it of V.
Newcenie, who made $8,000 by the opera
tion. Hilten has alie get 000 feet aciess the
toad, en both sides, bunging his pmclmsc
up te $05,000 ; it is guessed he designs te
build sometime a hotel here. Mr. Franck
lyn, of the Elboreii hotel, bought 450 feet
front en the ocean side years age for $32,
000. That hotel, notwithstanding its high
charges, has tin ncd away mere desirable
guests this year than it has accommodated.
Jehn Hoey net long age paid $24,000 for a
property at the East End, next te the
Brighten hotel, for which he has siucc le
fuscd $(!5,000. He also bought ninety
sevcu acres at sheriffs sale for $20,000,
and sold only eight acies of it te Mr. Gar
rison for $25,000 William Garrison is te
build a house en the tall hill near
Mary Adams's cottage : Mrs. Adams has
sold bemn of her land ler $1,000 per acre.
The high plateau of ground belonging te
Leuis J. Phillip:.', the fur dealer, with
3,300 feet upon the ocean, south of settled
Leng Branch, has been within the last
fortnight added te T. Muiphy's farm im
mediately back of it, and formed into the
Elbeien land aud improvement company,
having a united tract of C55 acres, capital
$500,000. E. L. Brown, the builder, whose
name was punned into Elberon, is expected
te be the picsidcnt. Seuth of this pro
perty Dicksen, an eiigiual Jersey fanner,
has 300 feet front by 900 deep en the ocean
side for which he has refused $30,000. At
Deal Village, Allen, tiie hotel keeper, sold
last year seventeen twentieths of an acic
for $2,500, and the buyer sold half his
purchase ler the same amount. Bradley,
the piojecter of Asbury Park, gave $80,
000 ler his tract of several bundled acres,
and lets aie new selling in it30 feet by 120,
for $1,500 apiece.
A gieat opportunity was lest in railroad
locating by divciting the New Jersey
Southern read into the interior of the state
instead of sending it down the coast. It
is said that this prepcity cost $2,000,000
bcfoie the Central of New Jersey bought it
yet the latter laihead's Leiur Branch divi
sion from Elizabethport. which cost only
$2,000,000, is said te be making 13 te 20
per cent, a year. The parent cdmpany
owns twe-thhas of the stock, but the ac
counts arc kept separately. The Pennsyl
vania railroad is te build along the coast
some day as far south as Atlautie City.
General Babcock's Leng Branch cottage,
which cost $8,500 without the ground,
leuts for $2,003 a year, Mr. Hoey has
300 acres at the Branch. The West End
hotel, the most profitable at the Branch,
cost $350,000 fifteen years age, and sold
at forced sale te the present proprietors
for $225,000, who have spent $150,000 in
improvements; the old Conevcr house,
perhaps half a century old, is enclosed
within its court.
Leng Branch Architecture.
A weid upon the style of some of the
new cottages :
Herace White has a new yellow shingle
cottage, two steiies aud an attic high, with
lattice dormers, which have the effect of
small gables. The large reef is also treat
ed with bide salients, gabled ; a gicataich
between these gables is recessed deeply
and extends te the loef and is backed with
glass in small panes. Anether gable, low
er than the. loef, flanks this arch. The
cud of the cottage is extended and deeply
balconied, aud its angle with the front
forms an architectural terrace. The reef
is in elder shingle of a gray color.
Frem the read six difleient gables are
seen
Victer Newceme's cottage is long and
low, and euthely faced with seasoned
shingle nearly of tlie same tone. These
in the sides aie of a silvery tint. The
south end makes a bread transept-like fea
ture which is overhung at each end at the
gables and treated below with bays aud
an arbor. A bell-reefed tower makes the
corresponding gable en the north, and be
tween is a lattice perch breaking the caves
aud flashed with tinted glass. The base
ment is of red brick. At the north end is
an extension in higher stories with a
flower window and an adventitious gable.
The general effect is that of a whaler's
cottage weather-beaten.
Moses Tayler's cottage is a plain, errccn
i ish building with red reefs and balconies,
Reman arches of weed and bread red
brick chimneys, in some cases outside the
frame of the house. It is the most praised
house at the Branch, very large, very cool
and without any pretension. His sen-iu-law
has a house of three overtopping front
gables with aperte eeeltere at the angle,
strong outside brickwork aud chimneys,
and a dark green surface. Seme say the
chimneys are tee important.
Mr. Garrison's cettage is a light gre en
color with abundant reefs of red. Nine
gables raised upon each ether break the
lines from a single point of view. A turret
atone end, a lefty cupola at the ether aud
stained glass abundant ever the surface,
with hollow gables, crechctted pinnacles,
a perte cechere and numerous balconies
and verandas almost confuse the eye. A
great brick chimney accompanies the
main cupola nearly te its lantern and re
sembles an ambitious buttress with out eut eut
side fireplaces. The lower story and
basement are of brick. The great house
is in tee many parts te express itself
firmly en the mind, though it bears study
at evsry point.
Mr. Ames Cutting's house makes a
great feature of two huge red brick chim
neys entirely eutside the frame and ene
of them contains a great hollow chimney
place. Tiles are used for outside orna
ments. The loef is broken into many de
tails. Tiles ornament the ridge of the
reef. The color is a drab gieeu.
Mr. Barbeur,thc thiead manufactuier's,
new house is of grayish green with the
ceutic thrown up te four stories, the top
story a summer house. AH the reefs arc
of Venetian ml. Plenteous filagicc car
pentry aud lattices and coleied glass win
dows break the woodwork. A conical
tower of red surmounts all. There is new
room at Leng Branch for ficsh innovation,
the imitator being tee apparent in the gen
eral course of constructions.
The Meral Point.
Asbury park is a remarkable develop
ment in summer sociology. Every year it
springs forward and its hotels almost i ival
these of Leng Branch, while its real estate
has advanced hundicds per cent, in the
past five years. Lets offered at $500 in
dull years new aie held at $2,500. A sin
gle man, seeing Ocean Greve with its pris
on stockade and cede of rigid Mosaic ob
servances, rise te business consequence,
bought the sand hummocks and scrub
timber beside it, and started a moral but
net a pronouncedly religious rival and
companion place. Fiancis AsbUry, the
American St. Francis, lent his widely
known name te the title, with which was
incorporated the nondescript cxpiessien
"Park," as distinguished from vfllc or
camp. A "Tabernacle" was put up, in
deference te the cxample of Ocean Greve,
but iu smarter style, nothing of the old
canvas camp-meeting material being em
ployed, and churches of different denomi
nations, charitable asylums and philan
thropic retreats, picnic commons aud a lake
or pond full of pleasure beats advertis-ed
the spot as liberal and joyous. Liquor was
the only witch absolutely exercised, though
the chief hotel was allowed te furnish wine
at meals.
The sequel has proved that leligien is at
a premium when mildly admiuisteied and
that, as the business spirit of Asbury
Park remarks, looking ever his several
hundred acres of homes, "a little of it
gees a great ways." Shouting is still an
occasional indulgence at Ocean Greve :
hurrahing is the shout of Asbury Paik.
Lumber is the real genius of both places
and without it there could net have
spiung, almost like the weeds afield, and
shaken te the ocean their slender intloies intleies
cencc. Lumber, of which Moses made his
nation, raising tabernacle and temple
walls te attach his migratory race te some
fixed soil ; lumber, in which America is
richer than all antiquity and which has
housed our feiefatheis until new ; lumber,
which pierces heaven in church spires,
makes floeiing for iien railroads, gives
sticngth te our lightest wagons iu the
world, and makes tlie healthiest dwellings
for man ; hew well they spoke of the tree
of liberty !
Heic at Asbury Park may occasionally
be seen the geed old lady enjoying ever
her Bible tins pleasant pronunciation of
that blessed weul "Mesopotamia." Heic
also may be heaul at meeting houses the
peculiar nasal melody of the negre, whose
voice with its engaging witchery is pi o e o
lengcd beyond white folks' notes and give.-
its owner notice and a voodoo authority .
Heic you may .see what you have supposed
dead :u this age the binceic ecstasy of
piety, thcsupciual tiance upon the coun
tenance, drawn fiem contemplations of
Ged and eternity. Religion as a social ele
meut is tee much overlooked in scculu
newspapcis; it is still the ovcrpeweiing
life of this count ly, though scarcely ag
gressive. It is the principal element of
Ami'iicau wealth, being the main engine
of tin iff, tempsrance, wedlock, the census,
utility and education. All these lich cot
tages at Leng Branch, if you leek into
tlieirpist, were seeded in religious disci
pline. Matiimeny becomes the early ic ic ic
couif.e of an abstinent society, aud geed
habits aie taken en faith as se much capi
tal. Here the mechanic is still at a feecial
premium, whcic the biekcr, lawyer and
iinancier are net unsuspected. And wheie
does exist a higher standard of man than
the carpenter or builder even new ? He is
the only author in America whose works
sell. At these moral citic3 the only differ
ence between weildly people is a certain
pallor of skin and general absence of fat
folks.
One of the sacrifices of real estate at
Leng Branch was that of United States
Senater Jehn P. Jenes, who paid $20,000
for a piece of ground 230 feet by GOO and
mere, en the ocean bluff, in or about 1873.
It is said te have cost him $30,000 in all
with taxes, improvements, etc. It was sold
for $10,000 te Mr. Cutting a year or se
age, but would new bring nearly its origi
nal cost.
Secial Observations.
The pi incipal lessen of this rise of pro pre
petty is the leturning tendency te coun
try life. The village carts, box wagons,
coupes, etc.. seen iu such variety at Leng
Branch belong overwhelmingly te the cot
tages. The price of keeping a pair of
horses at the hotel stables is $80 a mouth.
The Leng Branch pier has been of doubt
ful value te the place except as a competing
agency te living ficight. It is rather an
injury te the hotels nearest it, and has
made prepeity furthest away from it ap
preciate the mere.
Life iu the surf is pretty but rather tame
here, owing te the attempt of se called
fashion te prescribe bathing as for the
present rather vulgar. One would think
from the very imperfect figures and feet
seen en the beach that fashion in this case
was tee much interested. Pennsylvanians
and Western people show te most advan
tage in bathing dress, being, since the de
cline of Conkling, the remaining ferm3 of
" Stalwartism." In Pennsylvania the fine
horse-Iiko proportions and German frames
delight in parti-colered or gaily trimmed
dresses, of red and blue. Stockings are
rather falling out of favor, aud the feet
only aie encased iu a low sandal, even that
being sometimes discarded. The arms are
often bare, English style, te the armpit,
as a mild pretest of fiue arms against
sleeves in the drawing-room. The beach
about the West End and llewland hotels
has been much improved by building aud
pilings, and is new as safe and saudy
I and as far-sloping as Cape May or Ceney
isiauu.
Sheps are springing up even at the West
End. where new there are drug, cenfec
tienery, fruit, millinery and dressmakers'
places. Hotels are growing in number up
Monmouth Beach way, rather than down
toward "Murray Hill."
Varanda Chit-Vbat.
Conversation here is net aggressive, and
there is need of picturesque talkers like
the Hen. Benjamin Brewster, whose latest
views arc about as fellows : "Sometimes I
favor by limiting by law the amount of
money a mau shall leave his sons. Twenty
thousand dollars a piece is plenty for them.
Above that it might probably escheat te
the state. The consequence would be that
rich men would de "geed while, they live
with their enormous profits. It is common
te hear of boys educated by bounty te be
gin the battle of life say, "Oh! I think I
ought te have been a rich man's son ! Loek
around you at the young women in the
hotel. In cvecy pair of ears is a pair of
big diamonds, the aggregate being right
bete as many diamonds as a palace con
tains. Yet nothing seems te accompany
the diamonds but a novel. Yeu see no
body reading anything but that. A young
woman iu big diamonds hearing me men
tion Franklin yesterday, said : Mr.
Brewster, who was Franklin ? He was the
inventor of piiutiug, was he net?' 'Yes,
leai,' Isaid, 'of piintiug, and of thunder
and lightning." She said, 'Oh, thank
you !' and never knew it was a reflection
upon her. New, her mother would have
known who Franklin was."
Sitting by a hotel window here a few
days age, a stranger counted the excla
mations "lovely" and "horrid" en the pi
azza. Fiist, what was horrid :
" I think Jersey is horrid !"'
" Brooklyn is horrid !"
" Asbury Park is horrid !"
" The Catskill is horrid !"
" Niagara Falls is horrid !"
" Kee West is horrid !"
" Scotland is horrid !"
" Germany is horrid !"
" New England is horrid !"
" Philadelphia is horrid !"
" Bnshfulncss is horrid !"
" The country is hoi rid !"
"Walking is hen id!"
" Learned people i lien id J"
" Drawing is horrid !"
"Flat heels is hen id !"
"Cuilsishenid !"
' Backboards is hen id !'
" Canada is horrid !'
" Leng Island is horrid !"
" Martha's Vineyard is horrid !"
" The Allcghauics is horrid !"
" Crabbing is hen id !"
Next followed the list of things per
fect :
" West Point is lovely."
" Bangs is lovely."
" Yachts arc perfectly lovely."
" Brokers are lovely."
" Bisque is lovely."
"Four in hand is Ieely. "
"The Mascot is lovely. "
"Grey hair is lovely. "
" Green stockings is lovely. "
" Leng finger nails is levelv "
" Silk'miU is lovely. "
" The corn cutter is lovely.
"All black is Lively."
" Donkeys is lovely.
Te this I may add that the bicycle is
heiiid and the bicycler iu dinger of being
killed. Pitfalls are being dug for him.
He is such a silent appaiitien the horse
resents him. Ne wise horse ever saw any
thing but a wheelbarrow stand up en the
tire of a wheel. The bicycler must find
some uniuhabited isle and urn around its
confines like a locomotive spider.
The English soldier is down here teact
ing ladies te rise iu the saddle, standing
right up in the slipper and almost cleaving
the pommel, .as if about te dive. The afore
said Briten haughtily buckles the stiriup
strap further along and says little, except
new and th.cn, forgetfully, ' Ladies, trot !
Change l.ulie-. !"' He says that in a little
while all Yaukee born people will rise iu
their stirrups and change a great many of
their ideas.
The delicate chiropodist who handles
human feet as if they were choice pears,
and pv!s all the specks off them, is rising
in favor with both sexes. Shu congratu
lates the females en the possession of ' a
feet that will stand for years," and says
te the young men that feet like thens
were planned te dandle children. She
m tkc- finger nails nearly transpaienl aud
give.; epiessien te .stumpy fingers. After
leaving her ladies may be seen for hours
bowing their wrists and curving their
palms.
Aiiccdetes of Animals.
The .Menree, N. C, ErprcsH tells of a
merchant in that place who upon opening
his store ill the morning found a jar of
brandy peaches overturned and broken by
rats, and he killed easily fifteen rats that
lay en the counter and fleer tee diuuk te
get away.
AnAmeiiran eagle's jieculiar freak is
relatcd by W. W. Cele, a showman.
While he was exhibiting iu Melbourne.
Australia, an Amcricau eagle, the only
one of the species ever in Australia, be
longing te the zoological gaidens, escaped
from its cage aud seared heavenward, but
was attracted tewaid the poles of the cir
cus tents, wheie the Hags of all nations
were flying. The bud .sailed around for a
few moments, and then, as if impelled by
some special power, it darted toward the
pole from which the Stars and Stiipes
were flying, and seated itself upon the
pinnacle of the flgBpalf, there remaining
fully half au heury'after which it winged
its way te the mountains and was seen no
mere.
The Elmira Free Press tells a story of
hew a blind horse in a pasture let was led
te choice feeding ground and te water by
a gander, who went before him giving
signs by a constant cackle. A perfect un
derstanding was had betwspn them, and
they seemed te knew what each wanted.
At night the gander accompanied the horse
te the stall, sat under the trough,
and the horse would occasionally
bite off a mouthful of corn aud drop it te
the ground for his feathered friend, and
thus they would share each ether's meals.
Finally, en one Sunday afternoon, the old
horse died. The gander seemed utterly
lest, wandered around disconsolately,
looking everywhere for his old comrade,
refusing feed, and at the end of a week he,
tee, died.
Te test the faculty which dogs possess
of returning te their homes by a nearly di
rect course after being carried a great dis
tance by a circuitous route, an Ohie phy
sician made a deg insensible with ether at
Cincinnati, put him into a wicker basket,
took a train of the Cincinnati Southern
railroad, first southwest te Danville June
tien, thence te Crab Orchard, and finally
northeast te p. hunting rendezvous near
Berca. The deg was shut up all night and
fed. The next morning he was taken out
te a clearing aud en the top of a grassy
knell and let loose. Without any prelimi
nary survey he slunk off iute a ravine,
scrambled up the opposite bank and struck
first into a trot and then a swift gallop,
net toward Crab Orchard, but in a bee
line for Cincinnati. He ran net like au
animal that had lest its way, but " like a
horse en a tramway," straight ahead, with
his nese well up, as if he was following an
air line toward an iuvisible goal. He made
a short detour te the left te avoid a lateral
ravine, bnt further up he resumed his
original course, leaped a rail fence and
went ahead into a coppice of cedar bushes,
where they finally lest sight of him. The
report of the experimenters was forwarded

Tbe Sagacity or the Weasel.
Santa Barbara Press.
The remarkable sagacity of the weasel
was well illustrated the ether day by au
incident which actually occurred in the
suburbs of Santa Baibara. A gentleman's
barn wa3 infested with rats, and he was
greatly annoyed by their depredations.
They had been gradually disappearing,
however, during the past fbw weeks.
The gentleman finally discovered the cause
of their disappearance in a very wide
awake weasel, which was engaged at the
time in a vigorous combat with an un
usually large sized rat. The latter pieved
tee much for his adversary and finnlly
cliased his wcaselship out of the barn. A
few mornings later the gentleman again
found the same animals engaged in a sim
ilar battle. The. weasel at last ran away,
as before, and the rat followed in het pur
suit. This time, however, the weasel ran
through a hole it had burrowed in a pile
of hardened compost. The hole was quite
large at the entrance, but the outlet was
scarcely large enough te admit the pass pass
age of the weasel's body. The weasel
darted into the hole, with the rat at his
heels. A moment later the weasel emerged
from the ether side, ran quickly around
the compost pile, and again entered the
hole, this time in the enemy's rear. The
gentleman, interested iu the proceedings,
watched the piace some time, and found
that only the weasel came out. Digging
into the compost, he found, the rat quite
dead and partly eaten. The weasel had
arranged his trap se that the rat could
enter, but becoming closely wedged in the
narrow poitien of the hole, could be at
tacked at a disadvanfeuftD and easily killed.
Amende Honorable.

Giveadam Jenes had seemed the fleer
aud stated that he desired te render jus
tice te an innocent mau who had been
dwelling under a cloud of suspicion for the
past week. It had been hinted around
that the lien. Burdock Cautclepe, acting
as Janitor during the absence of Samuel
Shin at Leng Branch, had embezzled a
large sum of money. His account, as
handed te the secretary for approval read
as fellows :
1831.
1 qnt oil 10
1 lamp wick 1
1 cup 5
1 Old I ......... leull'i
It appears from the above that the Hen.
Cantelepe had used up $1,881 for which he
could render no account, and the commit
tee en finance were ordered te investigate
and empowered te send for persons and
papers. After a long wrestle with the
mystery it was discovered that the janitor
had added the year te his expense account
and thus made himself a seeming embez
zler. The investigation had cleared his
character as white as bleached cotton at
fifteen cents a yard, and the liuauce com
mittee had given him a vote of confidence.
Anether Relic of the War.
In Mr. Faulkner's field, eight miles fiein
Richmond, Va., was a tall pine. Duiing

while some hands wcra at weik iu the

set it en fire. Faulkner sent his men te
pick up the brush te keep the fire from
reaching his fence.-.. Iu less than h.iif an
hour the men neaul a t ""rifle explosion in
the tree, and with some fear they fcji di

but no one knew it was there.
