We are glad to know that the sanitary condition of the cQfkV4ti$a under Messrs. J. T. & W. D. Grant, on the Elherton Air Line Railroad, is very good, not more then two or three out of a hundred being on he sick list. The bam'of Mr. W. H. Heard, an energetic citi- " * sen belo# foWn, was .completely demolished by fire a fev days ago. including a considerable quantity of limber that he had stored in the building—the loss approximating $600. The meeting of the Board of Directors of the El- bertoi Air-Line Railroad Company, held at Goss’ ■* boo house, on Thursday last was very satisfactory -monious.

Ol'R BOLDING ASSOCIATIONS. Hamethiiiff About the Ny«t*ni which han Nh<Io Philadelphia a lily ofHamat. Sketch of It* Hiatory, Progretw Hade, and Benefit* Con ferred by Building A ANOcia tion *. The Principles on which the System was Founded. [.From the Philadelphia Pres*.] That Philadelphia has not been called the “City of Homes” without good reason, is universally conceded; the fact that the number of *dw r elling-houses occapied by .families in this city exceeds the number in 1 New York by 60,000, and Boston by 94,000, has lieen repeated until the figures have be come familiar to readers all over tie Union. But w hy should this be so? Why Philadel phia alone should have provided lomes for all classes other citizens is a problem which, until recently, few of our sister cities have even attempted to solve; in fact, when the question has been brought up at til it has been summarily dismissed with iht »o- hism, “Philadelphia is still what Y’iL ’enn intended it to be, a thorough “free, countrie town,’ very much overgrowi, and, of course, houses are cheap and working men can afford to own them.” There is no room for doubt that until withina few months the low rents of this city wee re garded by our neighbors as an indisptiable evidence of “slowness,” and the fact that in the Quaker City most of the wording- men owned their dwellings, a signthat Philadelphia had not reached that rattro- politan standard which compelled all but well-to-do to remain tenants during 'he full term of their citizenship. With <ur proverbial modesty we allowed the out side world to mistake onr advantages lor evidences of inferiority, and permitted false inferences to belittle our greatneis, until a Boston philanthropist accidently discovering the secret of our social prot- perity, dragged forth onr blushing merits ed by the working-man, who, through snch an association, now ow'ns the building he calls his “home.” Just how many Philadelphia working men who, without the aid of building as sociations, would still lie tenants instead of, as in many cases, landlords as well as householders, it is diffibnh to determine, because the system has grown so quietly that its rapid advance was for a long time unnoticed, and also because every associa tion being independent, of every other, no exact record has been kept. But those who have devoted many years to the subject agree that thejfollowingfigures areapproxi- ... , mutely correct: It is estimated that during greatly in accordance with the demand) the first ten years after the introduction of , for the present use of the money.

At presenttliere are probably , value of the stock. ing. As a general thing the value of a share will reach $200 in from eight to ten years. The two classes into Which an as sociation may be divided can be-r.esignated as nqn-borrowingai(J borrowing members. The former class do not avail themselves of the privilege of borrowing in advance the ultimate value of their shares, but con tinue paying $1 a share per month until the stock is closed, when they receive $200 a share. If this occurs at th"c end of eight years, they will have paid in S96, for which they receive $200. The borrowing class anticipate the ultimate value of their stock, and pay a premium (which varies to the public gaze of a score of qitlsT- 'Rx^.

At a , ed by the borrower will be seen bv the fol- rough estimate, then, there are now in lowing: A tenant renting a house at $15 this city about 78,000 houses owned by ]ier month will pay to his landlord $180 per man who, without the advantage of build- year, $1,800 in ten years, while the same ing associations, must ha ve lived and died money paid to an active building associa- paviiig rent At the first glance these tian will buy the house in about the same figures arc lather startling, but to those i time.

In the appendix ti a lit tle pamphlet entitled “Moderate Houses for Moderate Means,” he incidental^ men tioned the existence of a building msocia- tion managed by E. M. Davis, Esq., .n the neighborhood of Philadelphia, and tailed attention to the fact that the scheme siem- ed to be practical, and might, if lioneitly an l judiciously managed, result in gnat benefit to those of moderate means. Tie gentleman had evidently never before heard of the Philadelphia ktnilding associa tions, and this was the only one which had up to that time been brought to ire knowledge. He has since stated, to a special committee of the Massachusetts Legislature that he was not a little surprised, shortly after the publication of his books, to re ceive from a Philadelphia gentleman a let ter which said: “I do not know whether you are aware that there are over five hun- clred such associations in this city, with an aggregate canilal of from forty to fifty mil lions, and which is increasing at the rate of a million of dollars a month from month ly payments, and that new associations are constantly forming.” He certainlv was not aware of it, and, believing that there must be some mistake, answered the letter at once, and asked if there was not an error in the sums given. The reply was : “The figures I have sent you are not set down at random. I have the na i cs of the associations, and a large mass of annu al reports to verify my figures, and if you would visit our city I "ould show you what an immense field we have in small houses, varying from four up to ten and twelve rooms, on lots from 12 by 40 to 20 by 100 and 50 by 200 feet, in rural neigh borhoods, that were purchased with tliese monthly deposits and held as security for the forty or fifty millions loans I mention ed in my last letter.” Another Philadel phian, seeing the mistake under whicli the Hon. Josian Quincy (in common wittr many other equally intelligent gentlemen living outside of our “greene countrie towne”) was laboring, wrote to him as fol lows : “I have been a member for twenty-five years; am a member of twelve different associations. I send enclosed the report of one that is twenty-two years old. We organized in 1852 with seventy-five shares; that is, we received $75 a month. That series closed out in nine years and six months. Tiie second series in eight years and six months. The third series in sev en years and six months; that is, the shares became worth $200 by paying in one dollar a month during that time. At the present time wo take in $5,000 a month in this association. This association has a capital > of over $320,000 at the presont time. We have now nine associations running, and in the whole nine wo take over $30,000 a month. Quite a jump, from $75 monthly to $30,000 monthly. Yet this, fabulous as it may appear, is the houest truth, as our books show." The effect of these epistles can easily he imagined. The Bay State philanthropist immediately began thorough examination of the subject, and tiie result was he be came convinced of the incalculable advan tages which Philadelphia had derived from her building associations, and a bill provid ing for the recognition and government of similar institutions in the State of Massa chusetts was presented by him to the leg islature, and is now in its second reading. The discussion which this created in the Massachusetts Legislature was taken up by the Boston journals, and soon found its way to New York and Chicago, and now extends from the grai.i:e hills to tiie Rocky Mountains. Philadelphia alone has re mained unmoved by tbe new sensation. Conscious that she has long ago solved the problem, she quietly points to tiie prosperity of her own workingmen, modestly mentions the fifty millions of capital which they command, and asks if that all came of slowness, old fogyism and rustic simplicity. Tiie argument is unan swerable. Though our advantages are great, and success must have followed the ventures of enterprising capitalists, even the well-known benevolence of the City oi Brotherly Love would have failed to make Philadelphia a “city of homes,” or even an advantageous place of residence for work ingmen, without the assistance of her “building associations."

The total value of five hundred shares of the first series of stock, was, at the beginning of the year, $8,750. At the end of the year it amounted to $12,085. ’Hie plan of operation adopted by building associations and tiie provisions and details vhiclt surrounded it, could not be explained in the space allotted to this article, but the principle on which the system is founded can be given in a few paragraphs. The valuable work by Edmund Wriglev, of this city, entitled “How to Manage Building Associations,” published by James K. Simon, 29 South Sixtli street, gives the matter in a compre hensive yet concise form. It says: “A building association is composed entirely of one class of stockholders, and its assets or property is represented by stock. Its original capital is derived from tbe month ly installments or dues paid on account of each share of stock by tbe holder thereof, anti tiie chief sources of profit on the iu- vestn ent in this stock, by menus of which the association is enabled to work out the ultimate value of $200 per share, in a given number of years, is obtained from loaning the accumulated monthly installments of dues and profits to such of the stockhold ers only as may under the rules borrow the same. These chief sources of profit consists of two items. First, tiie premium deducted from the loan on taking it; and, second, the interest upon the loan, whieh is paid monthly during the continuance. There are also two minor sources of profit to wit: Thurtif 1 ' lines, churned upon duos and interest when ittar- rca. ,.and fourth, the profit on withdrawals of stock before tiie ultimate result is readied. Tliese four items of profit are largely increased by tito monthly com pounding of interest upon them us well as upon the monthly dues. • * » • xiio projterty or asselts with w hich the .associa tion liquidates or pays hi each shareholder $200, for each share lie holds is composed of two items. First, the bonds aud mort gages given by borrowers, and second, cash in haud at the time the final result is reached. The bonds anj mortgages are handed to thc borrowers, receipted in full, and the stockholder who hus not borrowed is paid in cash $200 for each shuro of stock he owns.” The period oi time consumed by any one series oi stock in reaching its ult imate value of $200 per share (theinaximum now fixed by law! is regulated by the amount of prof its made each year. If no profit whatever was realized and the dugs ware paid month ly. dtsen but to borrowers, of »* w»>U4 take two hundred months teen years aarfT eight mon the,to make “Olt! My poor, poor husband,” wailed Mrs. Moody. “He was a good husband, I'll swear to that,” continued Mrs. Stum, “but he was dreadfully careless to let a house fall on him. Be calm, Mrs. Moody! I’ve sent for one of the best undertakers in Detroit, and you’ll be surprised at the way he’ll fix up the deceased.” When the undertaker came in, Mrs. Stum shook hands and said that death was sure to overtake every living thing sooner or later. She mentioned the kind of coffin she wanted, stated the number of hacks, the hourfor the funeral, and held the end of his tai>e-line while he measured the body. Several other neighbors came in and she ordered them around and soon had every thing working smoothly. The widow was sent to her room to weep out her grief, doors and w'inflows were opened, and as Mrs. Stum built up a good baking fire she said: “Now, then, we want pie and cake and sauce and raised biscuit and floating islands. He’ll have w atchers, and the watchers must have plenty to eat.” When the baking had been finished the coffin and the undertaker arrived, and the body w as plactnl in its receptacle. Mrs. Stum agreed w ith the undertaker that the face wore a natural expression, and when he was going away she said: “Be around on time ! Don’t put in any second-class hacks, and don’t have any hitch in the proceedings at thc grave!” From that hour until 2 o’clock of the second day thereafter she had full charge. The widow was provided with a black bon net, a crape shawl, etc., the watchers found plenty to eat, a minister was sent for, eighteen chairs were brought from the neighbor’s, and everything moved along like clock-work. “You must bear up,” site kept saying to the widow. “House-cleaning must be done, that back yard must be raked off, the pen stock must be thawed out, and vou havn’t time to sit down and grieve, llis life was insured, and we’ll go down next week and select some lovely mourning goods.” Everybody who attended said they never paw a funeral pass off so smoothly, and when the hack nad landed the widow and Mrs. Stum at her door again Mrs. Stum asked: “Now, didn’t you really enjoy the ride, its ultimate value ; after all 7” And the widow said she wouldn't have believed that she could haveatood it so well. Kerosene and powdered lime, whiting or wood ashes will scour tins with th* least labor. Standard Scales. ALSO, The Most Perfect Alarm Cash Drawer, MILES ALARM TILL CO.’S.
