SoN OF THE MrLLIoNAlRE AsroR.-One
who frequents Broadway, or any of our fash

walk of a gentleman who saunters leisurely
along, followed quite closely by man, APP
parently bent under seventy years, and stoop
ing so constantly as to seem almost to crouch
as he walks. lie follows his leader like a
shadow, and goes into all possible places with
his attendant The feeble old man is John
Jacob Astor, son of the famed Astor whose
name is identified with the Astor Library.
He was bright and promising boy, and IN
I'll II years of age gave promise of much
genius. Reports vary as to the cause of his
mental decline; but the best accounts attrib
ute it to the mental forcing sistem, and to the
intense study of his early years. But true it
is that he has been for a number of years a
hopeless imbecle and has been as much
more care than an infant as a strong and
athletic person can be. Ample provision
has alwas been made for all the comforts he
is aLle to enjoy, An elegant mansion on
Fourteenth street is his abode. 1t is fitted

wait on his call. The gentleman who has the
care of Mr.. Astor has long devoted himself
solely TO him. He has such command over
him that he can guide and control him at
will, which no one else can do. Ample COM
pensation is given to the attendant He has
the house and all the servants, the equipage
and everything at his command. Besides a
liberal provision made for him by Mr. Astor's
will, he receives above the house and living
the sum of S5 900. But he is not alone an
hour Sleeping, waking, walking at home
abroad or riding, Mr.. Astor is with him,
makes one at his table, is one of the invited
guests to all places, and in all his movements
follows him. The family of Mr. Astor are
kind tender to their relation, visiting him
daily seeing that all his wants are attended
to, and in the most scrupulous manner carry
