And tbe interior folly meeets the expectations ol me visitor who has viewed the place from the outside The rarest plants from i:iitsi>t climes mingle their perfumes with oar own fair rows and other flower*, lovely in iheir very oommonnesd.

Bui Ibe proprietor thoroughly understands it hiuioelf , and tbat is all that ie necessary. Mr Btinaon is about 55 years of age, and his neighbors say he is ecoen trio. His hobby is trotting bones, and for tbe gratification of his love for that portion of tbe animal kingdom the wealtbly old aiaatJeman has lun.ed his expensive pro- perty into a stock farm; and ri*ht in the oenlre of one <.l the most fashionable residence portions of the city he raio.-a calls and onlve*, cheerfully indifferent to tbe (act that inu ground upon whioh bin pets sport and greae is worth hundreds of dollars per square foot. Ihe mansion which stands in tbe oenlre of the grounds is old -fashioned, aud could hardly have been laid in its best days to be an architectural triumph, but the home appareully is tbe least considered portion of Mr. Simeon's establish ment. He is uumarried, and with him lives a widowed sister and two children Back of the house clusters a collect ion cf baron, stablea and granaries whioh would drive th i average farmer wild with envy. An extensive brick stable furnishes eooom modation for the more blooded and ariato- eratio of Mr. Stinaon'e horses and oattle, while those more pit b ^ian in their standing occupy itablee leas pretentious. About a honored horses, brood mares and oolti are eared for by a foroe of flfteeu or twenty men, and etveral fancy bulls and cows lend their influence to the collection.

To oo k wilh one of theee ia jast about messy encash to sail this sparkling little woman, and ahe flew into the Woman's Exchange on Fifth avenue, followed by her gnm Abigail, and bought one.

It i* not necessary to take np much land as these tre*s may be planted for shading roedtidea and pastures, instead of otber trees. Tbe only objection that can be urged against Ihtir beirg grown along thu -oadside or oo a pasture some distance from the hoe.se is tbat the frnil may be stolen. Very little of tbia wculd thus be lott if their owners would pick np all the fallen nuts under the trees at sundown, at tbe time of ripening. Strangers ascertaining this noold not visit the trees, and tba neighbors who did not grow them would pay the same re-peot aa in the osae of apples, pesrs or poaches. Beaides, lb double purpose cf planting out bearirg tret a for sbada and shelter, there are large tracts of laud, such as bar- n-n bills and billaides that it would pay to (lant for tbe crop of fruit alone. Chtatnnta aell now on our markets al 94 to 94 50 per bushel, and hickory nuts at I'2.M. Our oontt mpursry sa>s that whether for tha value of the fruit, or tbe timber, or for ifaeunes that these nut bearing treee are a* shade* and ahelter to tbe crops and animals, tree planting offers one of Ihe most profitable investments that en Ontario farmer oan make.

In faot, the only times that that ssotion of tbe city comes btf ore thsir attention U when a murder or fire whioh occurs thsre is described in Ibe newspapers, or when an appeal is made for foods to carry on religions or charitable work there. Yet the East side is an interesting plaoe to vi.it, although in the hot montha it ie hardly as attractive as Central Park, aayg the Tribune. That part of it which lies, say, between Houiton and Fourteenth streets, is almost ae German ae if u were situated in the " Vaterland." There are German churches, German ahope, German reataarants, G-r man people, German everything. The people, many of them, wear clothing that they brought with them to tbis country, the oostnmes whioh attract moat attention being those of some of tho old women, vho wear dreesea ibat hardly reach their shoe tops, just aa they did in the Bavarian or Prussian tit-Ids. In the shops moat of the signs are in G.-rinan, and many abcpkeepers maul on trading with you in their native language, and seem astonished and a little hurl on finding out ibat you talk only English. In the bar-rooms, the American atyle of taking one's driblu standing has made some head- way, although there are sjtill teutons who bold it sacrilege not to sit down wbilu emptying a mug of Dear. All tbe ohskracterisiin German diihea, cooked in tha style of the fatherland, are to be had in the restaurants. As in Berlin and Hanover, there are wiener cafes, wbioh testify to the high regard in which Ger- mans hold tbe Viennese methods of pre- paring foods and drinks. Many of these cafes have on tile a large number of Ger- man periodicals, and others have chess rooma in whioh customers upend many hours at play.

Speaking of the association and us future, Dr l'ay lor said last night : If the plan works, as we have no doubt it will, beaiin a having a central oookiog-hcaee, th. re will be establiohed a laundry, skctrio light plant aud hones-heating apparatcsj. A gcod system is to have one ceutral supply-bcuae for each njaare. The dwellings are built as uiual, with tbe exception cf the dining- rooma. They are built away from tbe main structure ai.ii long a covered aisle leading from the oen. tral house to Ihe middle of the four sidm of the square. The dining rooms are one- story structures, and they are connected with tbe main dwelling by little arobwayr. Thus each family eats in its own dinini - room, but is served from ths oommr nv opply honae. " Experienced hotel men till as tbat three servants can oook for forty f amilii s.
