JOHN JACOB ASTOR.

The New York Taller gives the follow

Mr.. Astor is now on the wrong side o

luton; but still he enjoys himself, cracks
his jokes, cmpties his bottle, Cor thongl

! rise and decline Of stocks In fact, though
old, there is nothing Of the dotagc, the
second childhood Of old age about him.
Ills mind, on the contrary, is as sound
as bell, aud his head as clear as when
be used 10 be shoyoIing in Spanish dol
ars by the ship load,
Mr. Astor says that it cost him more
labor and genius to make his first thou>
sand dollars, than the million that follow
ed and that now were he a young man,
he would sooner undertake, at the hazard
Of loSeing his life, the task OF making
hundred thousand dollars on the tounda-
lion Of one thousand, than one thoISa I'd
out of nothing.
The labors Of Mr. Astor's day, at the
present writing, ate divided somewhat as
follows lie rises carly dresses without
a valet, and smokes half pipe oil tobac
CO. He then breakfasts, sometimes on
milk, but mostly on the most fragrant de-
scription of Mocha coffee Another attack
on the pipe follows The papers then are
called for, when his still keen eyes falls
foul Of the money artCle-bul afterwards

neighbors concerning stock or The wealth

Next, two hours sest, and then to din
ner, whercat John does great execution,
for he is a wonderful hand at the trench
cr for an old man, The pipe, chit chat,
and mild glass follow, and then the time
is spent until o'clock, when he calls for
his chamber lamp, and takes up his line OF
march for Blanket Alley.
Mr. Astor has been repuled ignorant;
but this is libel, for he is in part, and
always has been, great reader, especial
ly OF light literature. Likewise he is
very liberal patron Of literary men, as is
partially eylnced by the fact of his warm
attachment TO Washington Irving, and
his choice of Fitz Greene HaIleck for his |
right hand man.
Another libel is the charge brought "a
yainst Mr.. Astor Of Atheism, his incIina

Transcript of Tuesday evening says
ave understand that Mr.. Dickens has
accepted the invitation of the young gen
tlemen of Boston to a dinner, which is to
be given him on Tuesday evening next,
at Papanti's Hall, fremont Row. In con
sequence Of the announcement that he
would attend the fremont Theatre last
evening, the building was crowded from
pit to gallery, and when he entered the
private box which was reserved for him,
accompanied by his lady and Earl Null
grave, the whole audience rose en- maSSc,
and give him three cheers which he ac~
knowledgcd by bowling to the assembled
multitude. We trust he will have no rea-
son to complain OF want of attention paid
10 him during his visit to this country, and
that he will find that his splendid talents
are duly Appreciated
Poor Boz We did hope there was com.
mon sense enough in the country to Sc
cure a little peace and comfort, bat 1t
seems there is not. The man is doomed
and not only is he to endure all the Dor

We have il from one who had every opportunity
for knowing, and we presume there are Others Of
Gen. HIuison's friends IN this city who knov the
fact, that Immediately after his election was known,
he declared his intention 10 lender both Mr. CLAW
and MIR Webster places 10 his Cabinet. His uip
to Kentucky vas not for the purpose Of consulting
Mr. Cay, but for other purposes. IL Wos not tiil
he reached Louisville that he determined To visit
Mr. e ay. This Is not a matter involving any very
important principle, but as the question has been
ogi'attd, ve may as we'll have the truth Cinein-
natl Rep.
True, this natter "involves no very i,oporsn,
principle" that the cause Of truth and iustico
requires that MIR Webster and his friends should
not be allowed 10 scatter their Misrepresentation
Without contradiction or denial. Without further
words, then, Gen. Hsuiton did visit Kentucky for
the purpose Of urging Mr. Clay 10 accent a sent In
The Cabinet, and consulting him in The formation Of
| that Cabinet and for 70 other purpose. Mr. Clay
declined tSkinE Office himself but strongly recon-
mendsd Mr. Webster. The fact was notorious O,

In 1910, after Gen. HarrisOns election, but be.
fore his visit 20 Kentucky, he authorized and re-
gues'ed the Hon. W. J. Graves, then a member Of
Congress from this State and now resident Of IN /,
city, to visit Ashland and see Mr. Clay upon the
| subject Of the formation Of the Cabinet. He nu
thon1ed Mr. Graves TO say NJ Ashland that N
Coy might have whatever place in the Cabinet D.,

that, although no himself had folly made up Nj
