JOHN JACOB ASTOR.
From Harper's for February. S
as AsTOR'5 RARLY YEARS.


AsToR's BARLY YEARS. bsxo
AstOr was born in Waldorf, in the Grand
Duchy of Baden, Germany on the nth
of July, l763. He was the younges. Of
the four sons of Jacob Astor, butcher.
whose convivial and spendthrift habits
kept his family poor, in spite of the in
dustry of his thrifty wife. From their
unattractive home the older bows early
took their flight. George, the eldest,
went to London, where he became part
ner of the flute aud piano manufacturing
firm Of Astor & Broadwood, which still
fourishes under the name of Broadwood
& 90. Heury went to New York. where
he followed his fathers trade; became
rich, and died without children, several
years before his younger and famous
brother. John Aelchoir Astor, the third
son, became steward to a noblemans e. .
tate in Germany. Mrs. Astor having died.
the senior Astor married again. =
The stspm0ther treated John Jacob
harshly, and he resolved to leave for a
more pleasant locality. he had been well
educated BY Valentine Jenne, the village
schoolma aster, French Protestant, but had
only Q crown or two in his pocket, and a
bundle of clothes in handkerchief, when,
in the year 1850, he left home, America
being his ultimate destination, though he
intended FIRST to visit his, brother Geoegs
in London. he worked his way down the
Rhine on raft, and arrived at Dutch
seaport with larger sum Of money, raised
st the oar, than he had ever before poe
sessed On reaehing London, his brother
found him employment, probably in bis
own. mandatory. he there learned to
speak English fluently, though to the end
Of bis days his accent was unmistakably
German. His wages were small, but he
was very saving, and his industry in OBJ
tanning Information about America inds-
fatigable. In 6eptember, s176S, he bad Q
good suit Of Sunday clothes and fifteen
guineas, the result Of two years unremit-
ting toll. Az soon ,as peace had bean CON-
cluded with the United States BY the re-
cognition OF their Independence BY Eng

died in bis B5th year. During few, years
previous his mind had become seriously
impaired. He,was nursed like o, child at

for exercise. His property was mainly
left to his own family, the greater part to
his SOD, VIM. B, Astor, 80 as to keep it
united. The whole estate was estimated
at twenty millions, and Is now, probably
double that amount. Seven, hundred
houses in New York city belong to Mr..
Ast0r. The chief legacy was one of four
hundred thousand dollars to found the
Astor Library. The next largest, $50, 900,
was, bequeathed to his native village Of
Waldorf to fonnd . home for poor people,
and $50, 900 was left oths German Insh-
tuition OF New York. To bis old friend
and manager, Fftz Greene Halleck, the
poet, he left the strange legacy Of 1900
per annum for LIE. This sum, Mr.. W. B.
Astor at once increased to 81, 300. The
