AN UNFORTUNATE SoN.-.One who fire.
quents Broadway or any Of our fashionable
promenades, will notice the daily walk of a
gentleman who saunters leisurely along, fol-
lowed quite closely by man apparently
bent under 20 wears, and STOPPING so CON
stantly as TO seem almost 10 crouch rs he
walks He follows his leader like n shadow,
and goes into all possible places with his
attendant. The feeble old man is John
Jacob Astor, son of the famed As,or. whose
name is Unidentified with the Astor library.
He was bright and promising boy, and till
seventeen years ofage gave promise of much
genius. Reports vary as TO the cause of his
mental decline; but the best accounts attrib-
ute it 10 the mental forcing system, and the
intense study that occupied his early years.
But true il is, that he has been for years a
hopeless imbecie, and has been as much
more care than an infant as a strong ailIet-
ic person can be. Ample provision has
always been made for all the comfort he is
able to enjoy. An elegant mansion on four
,eenth street is his abode. IL is fitted up
with elegance and taste. A yard, compris-
ing an entire square, secures all the priva-
cy tha: is needed. Room lop walking, rid
ing on horseback, aud for recreation is af-
forlled. Horses, carriages and servants wait
on his call. The gentleman who has th-
care of Mr.. Asior has hong devoted himself
solely TO him. He has such command over
him that he can z Iide aud control him at
viii, which no one else can do. Ample
compensation Is given to the attendant. He
has the house and all the ssrvants-the
eauipage and everything at bis command.
Besides liberal provision made for him in

INCIDENTS OF THE LADY ELaIN DIS
AsTER.-Frederick Snyder, passenger,
Says "a little distance from my raft
young lady fell off from raft, ard just as
she fell a man on my raft out. oh God
there goes my poor daughter" lie said
this in most heart rendirg tones, and his
daughter must have heardit, for she raised
up her head as she was going down. and
looked at her father with an angelic smile
as she sank for the last time. Others could
be heard to exclaim, There goes my poor
husband, save him, for, Gods sake ~
Others May God preserve us" 1t is said
that the wife of Jno. OGrady became quite
frantic on the vessel and throwing her arms
around her husband. begged that he would
not desert her. He saw that he could do
nothing with her in the water, frightened as
she was, and embracing her he said-"My
dear! if we must drown we viii 90 down to-
gether," and they were not seen after that.
The Milwaukee papers mention singular
series of presentiments connected with the
disaster. .On the morning Of the disaster
aud about the very hour of its occurrence,
the Chief of Police was awakened from
sleep by the sense of terrible calamity, so
that he rose and visited all the police stat
ions of the city TO see that nothing should
happen which his care could avert, and at
daylight returned TO his room with the same
vague yet fearful prescntimcnt depressing
him. When he arose again at nine the
news of the wreck had thrilled the whole
city. During the night, a lady whose hus-
band was lost on the Elgin was warned Of his
death in dream. The wife of Capt. Barry
dreamed that she saw the Elsin wrecked
and her husband sink, as actually 5efcll.
A lady who had no friends on the ill-fated
vessel awoke in the night with the feeling
that as she expressed If, something dread
ful was happening and was so wrought
again, and rose and waited till the news Of
the catastrophe interrupted her forebodiugs.
A mother who was lost gave her child in
charge Of a friend before going on the ex-
cursion with the injunction TO place it with
the Sisters of Mercy II she should not return.
This request was made playfuIly. as if Tie
mother attached no particular importance
TO it; at the same time she would not leave
until she had exaeted solemn promise to
that effect"
