English Real Estate.

Lord Vaux of Harrowden, can justly claim to be original at a period when originalitv of the kind is rare. Most English landowners are now selling their family estates. Lord Vaux has reversed the process, hay, ing just bought back Harrowden, which had been separated from the title for over 200 years. Say what they will, for those who can afford to wait land is still one of the best investments. Population and the v-ik ume of wealth increases rapidly iA these days, while the area of land, dA course, must be stationary. This is ’ the period of transition, and everything is more or less disturbed in consequence, but given another half century, when stability has more or less been re-established, and the value of landed property must inevitable improve considerably.
