THE MYSTEBY OF PAIN. BT PBOF. GBAMT ALLEN. On the crimson cloth Of my study -deni * A lustrous moth Poked, statuesque. Of a waxen mold Were its Ight limb? shaped, And in scales of gold Its body was draped ; Wille it 4 delicate wln«s Were netted and veined W.th silvery strings Or golden-grained, Thro”gh whose filmy maze In tremulous flight Danced quivering rays Of the gladsome light. On the desk close by] A taper burned, Toward which the eye Of the insect turned, lu its vague little miad A faint desire Roe undefined For the beautiful fire. Lightly it spread Each silken van, Th’ n away it sped For a moment’s span ; And a strange delight Lured on its course, With resi.tlees might. Toward the central source, And it followed the epell Thiough an eddying maze, Till it staggered and fell lu the,deadly blaze. Dazzled and stunned" By the scalding pain," On" moment it swooned, Then rose again ; An<l again the fire Drew it on with its charms T i a living pyre In its awful arms ; And now it lies On the table here Before my eyes. All shriveled and were As I sit and tnuse| On its fiery fate, What themes abstruse Might I meditate 1 For the pangs that thrilled Through its delicate frame, As its senses were filled With the scorching flame, A riddle inclose That, living or dead, In rhyme or in prose, No seer lias read. “ But a moth,” you cry, “ Is a tiling so small!" Ah, yes I but why Should it suffer at all ? Why should a sob For the vaguest smart One moment throb Through th” tiniest heart ? Why, in the whole Wide universe, Hhould u single soul Feel that primal curse ? • Not all the throes Of mightiest mind, Nor the heaviest woes Of humankind, Are of deeper weight Tn the riddle of things Th in this insect's fate With the mangled wings. But if only I, In my simple song, Could tell you the why Of that one little wrong, I could tell you more Than the deepest page Of saintliest lore, Or of wisest sage ; For never as yet Tn its worldly strife Could Philosophy get At the impor of life; And Theology’s saws Have still to explain Thu inscrutable cause For the being of pain ; Ho I sometimes fear That, in spite of both, We are ba tiled here By this one singed moth. —Popular Science Monthly for September.

BARRING OUT A SCHOOLMASTER.

My early life was made miserable by one Mulbery Bangs, a gentleman of the old school, who devoted himself to reading, writing and arithmetic, and the general uge of a sti k. Upon my head and. other parts of my person he imprinted himself so positively that I can see him now as plainly as if we had parted but yesterday. He was a stout man, who made in his figure, when seen iu profile, Hogarth's line of beauty, being roundshouldered and crook din the legs. He was a blonde. The hair of his head had that sunny tinge so much admired today, and when rubbed down with a tallow candle, as was his wont to dress it, was so smooth and straig* t that the boys believed that the flies slipped down it and Broke their legs. His eyes were dark and fierce, and hid unuer the cavernous recesaf s ma ;e 1 y his bushy red eyebrows, s em d to watch like evil spirits ove • his pr. cions nose, The nose w.is a ruby u s , i ot’l'e in sh >p *, an I when Bangs was am ry, which appeared to be all tne time, it glowed like toe headlight oi alo tomotive. His mOut i was finished without lips, and resembled a slit in a piece of sole leatlu r. My early experience gave me a distaste for tne whips in schools. But ’I am far from siding with the sentimentalists of the pr< s nt day, who advocate kindness and. moral su sion. The easier teachings—not the best, but, iu fact, the only ones—are those of the rod, that gave us a realizing sense of pain to the body, an t drilled us into patience and sehdi nial.

Boys are of two sorts—good little boys, who die young, an I bully boys, whocannot be killed.

As the last named only live to be men, instead of being transplanted into angels, it is well to discipline them through the only process known to animals, and that is the discipline of fear. The old adage is not far wrong that said, “ When you meet a boy whale him—for, if he has not been in mischief, he is going in.” What may have been my feelings when suffering under the stick of old Bangs, my objection to him now rests not so much on bis use of that instrument as the beastly appearance and character of the man. Later in life "I was the scholar of a man who was as severe with the rod, almost, as my enemy Bangs ; but to my dying day I shall remember him as one of the noblest of men and the truest friend I ever encountered. Alexander Kinmont lived and died in the obscurity of a select school, with the generous impulses and large, hearty brain that ought to have secured him a high position among the teachers and leaders of men. From that school came boys so disciplined to study, and so filled with the love of learning, that they, in making their mark in the world, lived to illustrate the beauty of the system. I did not, however, sit down to write of this, but to give in brief some of my earlier experiences. It was understood throughout the country that the boys were justifiable in barring out the master, and, if successful, were not only entitled to a week’s recess, but the admiration and praise of their parents. Old Bangs was famous for his power of resistance, and boasted that no school of his had ever succeeded in conquering in such attempts. On the occasion to which I refer we hail two big boys in school, named Bill Henning and Bob Strong. They were knotty-headed, broad-shoul-dered and hard-fisted fellows, who worked through the summer for means to attend schorl during the winter. Each, in turn, had been unmercifully whipped by the master, and it was understood throughout the school that the barring out of Master Bangs was to be accomplished and old scores settled.

The evening before the general engagement, Bill and Bob, our noble leaders, with a few confederates, stole back to the school-house, armed with hickory poles. Breaking open the door, they whittled one end of these tough saplings to a point, and then hardened the points in the fire. Tnen placing these in a corner ready for use, w.th a i.sout cord, they gave orders to the boys willing to tike part in the fight to be on hand at the school-house before daylight next morning. At tue time indicated nearly all the lads were in attendance. Some were pale and trembling, others were noisy and boastful; but [ observed that the real leaders and reliable soldiers were quiet—so quit t, indeed, that one might doubt them. “Men are but boys of a larger growth,” said Drvden, and that solemn pomp of a poet, Wordsworth, assures us that “the child is father to the man.” In the i.mm.»l 'propensities and tastes that survive our boyhood this is undoubtedly true, and many and many a time since, in hours of peril, I have re-

enacted the same exhibitions of character that occurred on that cold morning in December among the boys. Our first order was to cut ana carry in enough wood to serve the garrison during a'siege. This was promptly executed. Then the window-shutters were pulled to and securely nailed, the door closed, and desks and benches piled against it. After two port-holes were opened by removing the chinks and daubing, and gathering about a rotavag fire in the huge fireplace, we awaited the approach of the enemy. As the time approached for the master’s coming a dread silence fell upon the little crowd, so that when he did come we could hear his heavy tread upon the crusted snow, and many a heart sunk and face whitened in terror. . Our leaders sprung to their posts on each side of the door, and, on being ordered to surrender, boldly demanded a week’s holiday and a treat of cider and apples. This was sternly refused. “Fire !” cried Bill and Bob, and two poles were thrust out with . all the strength the stout arms could give them. They took the indignant pedagogue in the sides with such force that, but for a thick flannel overcoat,holes might have been in his wicked body. As it was, he staggered back, and for twenty minutes or more we saw him sitting upon a log catching his breath and rubbing his wounded sides. We gave no end of loud cheers, claiming for ourselves the first knock down, if not the first blood. At the end of twenty minutes the master arose. Digging a huge stone from under the snow, he approached and threw it with great violence against the door. The stout oak batting fairly shook under the blow, but held its own. Another, and another followed amid jeers and laughter; encouraged by our noble leaders to keep up the courage of their followers. The fourth stone split the door, and the fifth broke the upper wooden hinge, and but for the barricade within the breach would have been available. The enemy now, being aware of the defense within, suddenly dropped the stone and ran in at the door. We were not. to be taken by surprise. Again were the sharp lances thrust out. One hit with decided effect in the commissary, vulgarly called stomach; the other, as he stooped doubled by the pain, in the face, inflicting an ugly wound from which the blood flowed in profusion. He retreated, and we saw him fairly dance with rage and pain. The more of this he indulged in, the wilder grow our delight, which we testified in screams of laughter. He soon ended this exhibition, and disappeared around the school-house, evidently on a reconnoisance. There was a dead silence, and we realized that which we have so often felt since, the unknown movement of a silent enemy. This was ended by a noise upon the roof, and soon volumes of smoke pouring into the room told us that strategy had taken the place of assault. We were to be smoked out.

For a moment our leaders looked puzzled. Fortunately, in the excitement of the conflict, the fire had not been fed, and now only a few embers and chunks supplied the smoke. These were scattered upon the broad hearth, and water thrown in to extinguish the remainder. Then Bill and Bob, selecting four of the stoutest poles, thrust them up the chimney, and, at the word, we gave, to use our own phrase, “ a bloody hist.” The consequences were a rattling of falling boards, with the- unmistakable thump of a heavier body upon the ground. W ,J found afterward that the master bad not only covered the chimneytop with boards, but had seated himself upon them; the sudden and unexpected “ hist” had tumbled him off. We heard dismal groans and cries for relief from the enemy. Some we r e in favor of going at once to his assistance; others, more cautious, opposed such a merciful errand. ‘ * He’s hollerin’ too loud to be hurt much,” said shrewd Bob. vVe had a division in our council of war. This ended in a call for a volunteer tom <ke a sortie and investigate. Jack Loder, one of the most daring and active among the younger boys, responded. A shutter on the opposite side to the cries for help was opened quickly and Jack thrust out. The result of this was not only a cessation of groaning, but a chase that we witnessed through the portholes. Jack was a good runner, and when the two disappeared over the meadow, into the willow thicket Jack was gaining on him, and we had .good hopes of his escape. To our dismay and horror, in half an hour we saw the master returning with poor Jack in his grasp. He had a hostage, and was swift in his use of the advantage. Stopping before the house, he began whipping the poor fellow unmercifully. Jack’s cries were piteous. “Oh, let him in, boys; let him in, he’s a killin’ o’me,” rung in our ears. There was a hurried consultation. The benches and desks were quietly removed from the door. A sortie had been determined on. The master stood at the side of the house south of the door, and as soon as the opening was made Bill unclosed a shutter and proposed a parley. The answer was a rush at the open window by the master, who began climbing in. Brave little Jack seized him by the legs, and before he could kick him oft' a dozen stout lads were cliuging to them, while as many more held him ou the inside. Bill seized the rope and attempted to pass the noose over his arms. In the hurry and confusion of the fight he succeeded only in getting it over his head. Pulling it as the boys did, there was a fair prospect of ending the useful labors of this teacher by strangulation. That he deserved it no one of us doubted ; but Bob, having climbed over the master in the window, and with all the school pulling at the ends of old Bangs, was soon master of the situation; getting hold of the rope, and assisted by Bill, he succeeded in tying the arms of the almost exhausted man to his sides. He was then tumbled from the window as unceremoniously as a pig. “ Will you give up?” demanded our leader.

“ No,” gasped the master. “Then we’ll put you down the well, hanged if we don’t!” The brave old pedagogue still refusing, he was dragged, rolled and tumbled to the well-curb. “ Will you give up, dern you ?” demanded Bob. “ No, I won’t.” He was shoved inside of the bucket, and orders given to lower. But the weight proved too much for the lads, and, the crank of the windlass slipping from their grasp, the learning of our district went whirling to the bottom with a thundering noise befitting such an exit. This was more than we bargained for. Had we really murdered the master? Bob and Bill, assisted by the stoutest, began pulling up the unfortunate old fellow. It was hard work, and, tugging at the windlass, they just caught a glimpse of his blonde head when a wild cry of “fire !” caused them to let go, and again the venerable Bangs rattled down with a splash in the water. The school-house was on fire; the chunks pulled out by the boys had communicated to the floor, and the dry, old concern was in a blaze. A few neighbors, who just then arrived, gave the alarm, and attempted to extinguish the flames. To do this they called for water, and the first bucket brought up contained the vanquished teacher of reading, writing, and arithmetic. He came up with his teeth chattering, and when lifted out and untied was too weak to stand or sit. The school-house burned down. The master was carried to a neighbor’s house, and soy weeks hung between life snd death. We were regarded as heroes

by the country ride, and in the burning of our place of torture and the sickness of the master we were the happiest set of little animals in the world. It is a long time, I am sorry te say, since then, and most of the actors in the drama have passed away. Bob, one of our gallant leaders, is now a well-to-do farmer in Illinois; while Bill fell in the bloody fight at Stone river.— Don Piatt.

THE CHICAGO BANK FAILURE.

Scenes in Front of the Bankrupt Institution- The Wrettehed and Beggared Depositors. [From the Chicago Tribune.] The news of the failure of the State Savings Institution took all the depositors by surprise. Nearly all of them had recovered from the July scare, and were firm in the belief that the bank had succ< ssfully weathered the storm, and that their interests were secure. So firm were, they in the faith that some of those who had drawn out small amounts during the scare regretted their action, by which thev had cut off what interest was due on their deposits. There were more careful ones who closed up their accounts during July and August, fearing to run what seemed to them a dangerous risk. But there was that other class, utterly unsuspecting, whose previous doubts and fears had been quieted, and who were living along in fancied security. To them the news of the failure came with all the suddenness and crushing effect of a blow in the dark. Trusting, they had been deceived; and the savings of years, often of a lifetime, scraped together from the results of weary toil, seemed gone forever. Such was the picture they painted to themselves in the first moments of anger, sorrow and disgust following the general spread of the news. Then they began to reflect. Something might be saved from the wreck. Hope, which is said to be the only medicine for wretched souls, began to dawn on their minds. With the feeling of those who would know the worst and build their hopes on the smallest chance, they resolved to visit the place where their little wealth was locked up, and learn on just how slender a thread these hopes might hang. Accordingly, the sidewalk in front of the State Savings Institution presented, as early as 7 o’clock, a scene wholly unusual at such or any other hour. Men and women, boys and girls, some apparently well-to-do, and others with the signs of poverty depicted on their pinched, wan faces, and their mean, well-worn, threadbare garments, were there; some of them modest and sad, more of them brawling and mad. Here was a poor woman who took in washing. In her hand she carried a pass-book wrapped in a dirty handkerchief. With her pass-b ok—the title to wealth stowed away in the vaults—she pressed forward and sought to gain what satisfaction she could out of a fat policeman standing on guard at the door and keeping out all outsiders except those who had keys to the safety-deposit boxes. She didn’t get tne satisfaction she wanted, and had to fall back. Then a man whose clothes seemed to say he had seen better times came up and recited his griefs to those around him. He had managed to save §1,200 in gold, he said, when he was out in California, had put it in that bank, and now it was ail gone. And here were these bank officers going scot free. Why, if he’d, stolen a loaf of bread, he’d been jugged for it. And his voice grew thick, his tones more angry a d excited, and it is more than probable that the tears would have flow ed had not a burly Irishman behind him, in a redchecked flannel shirt, put a damper ou him by singing out: “Oh, you needn’t talk; there’s many poorer n you as has lost every cent they had. We’re all in the same boat.” A newspaper man, as he contemplated the loss of his careful savings, muttered: “ Wouldn’t I like to seek a Sioux Indian, that had been fed ou raw beef about two months, on that 4—d old reprobate Spencer.” “ Wish we had him here,” said a roughlooking workingman, who had overheard a knot of men talk ng about Spencer and his absence in New York, “ we’d fix him on the nearest lamp-post, the thief.” A job-printer on Clark street told the reporter tli.it he and his mother had managed to put away §4,000 for a home, and to keep them during a rainy day. It was all they had, and now they would have to begin over again. Two Irishmen, who had been taking care of gentlemen’s horses down on Wabash avenue, and doing any odd jobs they could get, said they had saved §2,000 between tlu m, and now the savings of twenty-seven years were all cleaned out. An old German walked up to the door and demanded to see the cashier. When informed that that gentleman was not around, the old fellow started out on a fierce tirade against the bank officers, telling the crowd he had been working for years, and had saved up a little money, but now he supposed he’d have to start again. “ Never mind,” said he, “ I’ll be rich in ten years, and it’ll be all right.” In closing his harangue, he sarcastically advised his willing hearers to take a piege of the bank’s doors or the stone walls home with them to feed their wives and children on. At a later hour in the day a little old woman, poorly clad, but of respectable appearance, her features sharp and thin, her eyes snapping fire, and her arms flourishing a very dangerous-looking umbrella, bitterly denounced the bank-officers for what they had brought upon ner. “I had my last dollar in the world here,” she said, “ and those sharks have ruined me. Talk about mobs! Why don’t you mob the rich men’s houses, the castles of those who rob the poor, instead of fighting and killing each other ? Oh, God, is there no mercy, no pity for the poor ? Must we grow poorer that they may become richer?” There were murmurs in the crowd of ‘ ‘ You’re right, mum,” but, for the most part, the losers and the curiosity-mongers looked stolidly on, realizing that denunciation would do no good, and that the only thing to do was to wait and see what the assignee could get out ofjhe wreck. There were a great many sad sights to be seen in the vicinity of the doors, and a great many sad stories heard among these woe-begone depositors. There are few more piteous sights in life than that of some aged and infirm creature who, after years of sore toil and privation to hoard up enough to smooth his way to the grave, suddenly finds the prop knocked from under him. Not a few such sorry spectacles were witnessed yesterday. One old couple came up whose case excited general sympathy. They were a pair of aged brothers, who have for years past bean earning a scanty pittance by doing chores, running messages and the like for families along Wabash and Michigan avenues. By dint of keeping down expenses next to nothing, they had managed in the course of several years to scrape together between them about §2,000. The look of blank misery and utter helplessness they showed was enough to melt a heart of stone. And this was only one of numerous incidents of a similar character which came to light. Most of those who were seen at the bank were poor working people, young and old, who have the winter before them and no work in prospect to keep the fire burning. A considerable number of colored folks were among the groups, and they appealed to accept the situation with more cheerfulness than any of the others. They were anxious to find • ut just what kind of a dividend was to be doled out to them, and, when quietly assured by some gloomy brother that they need hope for nothing, they wQnld walk off with the remark that

they would take care and not get bitten again. These are only a few instances out of many which could be furnished to show that the failure fell heaviest on the poorest and least-suspecting class.

AGRICULTURAL AND DOMESTIC.

Around the Fam. ? A fast walk is one of the most desirable qualities in a horse. Agricultural societies should remember this in making up their lists of prizes. Fowls wilth canker or roup will communicate the disease to all the rest of the flock if allowed to use the same drinking-vessel.— Poultry Record. A little sulphur or dry carbolate of lime sprinkled in the nests of setting hens will keep off the lice. Either the sulphur or carbolate, mixed with dry dust dr finely-rifted ashes, makes a capital duet bath for hens and little chicks. —Germantown Telegraph. ’ To prevent trees from splitting, the Toronto Globe says: “Select a small limb from each fork and clear them of leaves and branches. Then bring the split up together, twine the two small limbs together and secure them. The limbs will grow together in time, and keep the split from opening.” Concrete walls do not give satisfaction. There are so many conditions, such as expanding, contracting, etc., that cannot be exactly determined, that they are very apt to settle out of perpendicular, or cfack, or in some way fail to make a perfect job. Stone and brick are more reliable.— Rural Home.

Suel Foster furnishes facts in relation to the superior advantages of using stocks of the Siberian crab for grafting apples. Some Western nurserymen plant the seeds of the crab for this purpose, and their young trees are doing better than on common apple seedlings, where the severe winters often destroy the tenderer roots. This practice would, of course, not be desirable where common-apple stocks prove sufficiently hardy and endure the winter. — Prairie Farmer. h. gentleman writing to the Planter and Farmer gives the following remedy for a choking cow. We suppose it will act as well with other animals; it will be well to remeffiber.it He says that it has never failed in any instance, and has been tried by him and others hundreds of times. The remedy is to take a tablespoonful of saltpeter, open the animal’s mouth, and throw it well back upon the tongue; let the animal go, and it will either go up or down in a very few minutes.—Kentucky Live Stock Record. Here is a valuable table, containing the number of pounds in a bushel of the different articles named: Pounds. \ Pounds. Branl2' Barley4B Blue grassl4!

In the latter the waste of material is considerably larger, the equilibrium between the organic processes is easily disturbed, and the animal, therefore, more predisposed to disease. Every fanner knows that a horse, for instance, vhich is quiet and docile needs less food, keeps better, is able to do more work, and is usually also healthier, than one that is always restless, easily excited or wild. Still, spirit and strength must not be mistaken for an excitable temperament. An animal may be spirited and be very docile and quiet.— Chicago Tribune. An orchard of Northern Spy apples contains about four acres, and is a hog and sheep pasture. It is well seeded in grass, yields a great deal of pasture, and is the first orchard that we have seen this year with anything like a crop of apples. Two years ago we saw it, and it was heavily loaded with apples. Last year Mr. H. said it bore a light crop, and this year about two-thirds of the trees, we should think, are fairly filled with apples, some of them loaded. In addition to the droppings of the sheep and swiue, a little manure is scattered over the surface annually. The branches show a fair annual growth of wood, and the foliage is dark and luxuriant. This orchard would seem to afford one evidence that plowing is not essential to the growth oi wood or production of fruit.— Rural Home.

About the House. To Tell Good Eggs.—Put them m water; if the butts turn up, they are not fresh. Tiiis is an infallible rule to distinguish a good egg from a bad one. To Stop Cracks in a Stove. —Wood ashes and common salt, made compact with water, will stop the cracks of a stove, and prevent the smoke from escaping. — Economist. Good Use for Soap-Suds.—Save your washing suds for the garden; if it is poured ov#r the roots of the plum trees, it will kill the curculio; if turned at the roots of geraniums, roses, etc., it will enhance their beauty tenfold. The Healing Power of Charcoal. — Charcoal has been discovered to be a sure cure for burns. On laying a small piece of cold charcoal ou the bum the pain subsides immediately ; and if the charcoal is held on for some time the wound is healed. Western Farm Journal. Chili Sauce.—Eighteen ripe tomatoes, two onions, two green peppers, two tea spoonfuls of salt, one teacup of sugar, two and one-half teacups of vinegar, one teaspoonful each of cloves and cinnamon. Chop and mix, boil slowly, and put into glass cans. This makes an excellent sauce for meat.— Cor. Household. To Keep the Hair in Crimp.—Ladies who have difficulty in making their hair remain crimped will find the following of use: Let five cents’ worth of gum arabic be dissolved in a very little hot water and left to stand over night in enough alcohol to make it thin; then bottle. The hair should be wet with the mixture beforeßeing crimped.—Springfield Union. Rules for the Sick-Room. —(1.) Bring in fresh flowers or something new every day; even the commonest green thing is better than nothing. (2.) Don’t talk about anything unpleasant. Talk about something that will lead the patient’s thoughts away from his aches and pains, and leave him in a cheerful and restful state of mind. (3.) Follow the doctor’s directions implicitly. (4.) Never ask a sick person what he wants to eat. If he asks for anything that will not injure him, get it if you can. Never bring him much at a time. A little bit in a dainty dish will sometimes tempt the appetite when a large quantity would cause nausea. (5.) Expect sick persons to be unreasonable. They will fret and complain, no matter what happens, and must be borne with patiently.—Housekeeper.

The Lone Star State.

Texas, which had 818,579 inhabitants by the census of 1870, now claims to have 1,750,000, and that the census of 1880 will show at least 2,500,000. This increase is on a scale of magnitude unprecedented in the history of the country. Illinois has hitherto borne the palm, advancing in twenty years (1850 to 187 C) from a population of 851,470 to 2,539,891, but Texas proposes to do as much as that in half the time; and, even if the Texas claim be somewhat magnified just now, it is certain that a great tide of emigration is moving thitherward from not only the Southern but the Eastern and Western States, our own Blinois colonies being no inconsiderable portion of the nql.

Our Population.

Already people are beginning to speculate as to what the population of the United States will be in 1880. The general estimate ranges between 45,000,000 and 47,000,000. Twelve States have taken their census in 1875. Michigan took one in 1874, and Missouri and Nebraska in 1876. The following table exhibits the figures of population by these enumerations compared with the late United States census in 1870. The righthand column shows the percentage of increase in the population of each State:

This rate of increase (about 15| per cent.) would not hold good in the other States, for if the same average percentage of increase were applied to all the States it would give us a population of 44,564,881 for the year -1874, as against 38,567,617 in 1870, and would carry the population above 50,000,000 in 1880, which is hardly possible in view of the fact that emigration has fallen off to a half or third of what it was previous to 1874. The State which will exhibit the greatest gain at the next census will probably be Texas. The enormous size of the State, and the quantity cf its fertile land, have attracted vast swarms of immigrants. We should not be greatly surprised if Texas reaches fully 2,000,000 oi souls in 1880, making her the Empire State of the South, as she will eventually be of the Union if not divided into at least three States.— Chicago Tribune.

Vanderbilt.

There is but one Vanderbilt in New York, and he is familiarly called “Bill.” It was a question how he would meet the responsibilities thrust upon him by stepping into the huge shoes of his father. Some men who had operated with the old Commodore for years said that William was a better railroad man than his father. Many shook their heads and doubted. So far Mr. Vanderbilt has exceeded public expectation. He has shown a great deal of practical wisdom in the late strike, proving that he has the tact of one of his own bumpers—yielding as well as striking. Mr. Vanderbilt is a peculiar looking man. In size and appearance he resembles John Jacob Astor ; his frame is herculean. He is very stout, and seems to be puffed up bodily. His hair is sandy; his countenance florid; his whiskers huge and of the English cut, and he would easily pass for a man who was born within sound of the Bow bells. He is a man of few words; resolute in his opinions even to obstinacy, and through all his gifts runs- a streak of caution and hesitancy. He has an elegant mansion on Park avenue in upper New York. He is very domestic in his habits. Mrs. Vanderbilt is distinguished as one of the best housekeepers in the city.
