The last Of Barnum,s Menegerie.

may put period to the existence of the
delicately- reconstructed giraffe, which has
shown remarkable wisdom in submitting
to it's fate but neither deluge Of water,
density Of smoke, intensity of flame, the de-
signs of men, ssnor all combined, could effect
the rugged bear, which, after living two
nights and day in the midst Of the fray,
chose to come out from amid the debris
yesterday morning, and to take an involun
tary saunter along Broadway and the streets
adjacent to his old headquarters and, as he
passed it, apparently wondered how re

The Astors of To-Day.

| The New York correspondent of the Bos-

managing and increasing the great fortune
which their ancestor left them, and what
does it amount to

continued in the same style that marked it

SOILS, John Jacob and VIM. B. Jr. They
have been carefully trained to the same
style of business that distinguished their
father and grandfather. In the little one
story brick building ON Prince street, look
ing like small jail with the iron bars in
'front.' the father and two sons can be seen
daily taking care of their immense estate.
The sons are quiet and reticent like their
father. No bank clerk goes to his business

At given hour, arm in arm, they walk

he left it and all his plans would be carried
out, nor would any change be made in the
mode OF doing things during their lifetime.

with native chief, his host offered him a

STAR AGRICULTURAL WORKS.

NlHE Albany COTTON GIN Manufactur-
l. ing Company, manufacturers of the
celebrated "Star" Cotton Gins and Con-
densers, Star Threshing Machines, Star
and other agricultural machinery.
Our ''Star" Cotton Gin and Condenser
have taken first premiums in every in
stance where entered at Southern Fairs
competing with the best Gins OF the coun-
try made by other parties.
At the two great Fairs of the Mechanics
and Agricultural Association, held at New
Orleans successively in November, 1866,
and January, 1868, tho "Star" Gin and
Condenser took H1-at both Fairs -tsu all
the premiums offered on Gins and Con-
densers, against competition embracin
all other Gins of any prominence in the
country. Also, at the last two State Fairs
held at st. Louis, Mo-. our Gin and Con-
denser took the first premium against a
powerful competition.
The Condenser attachment being new to
most planters, we wish to say that it en-
tirely obviates the necessity of 'slint
room," as with it a Gin may be used in the
open air, and the sheet, or bat, as it is dis
charged from the Condenser is ready for
the press. Ii effectually cleans the cotton
OF sand and dirt and makes the work of
ginning free from the danger of inhaling
the fine particles of lint which otherwise
fill the air.
N. B. We also make the most approved
Horse Powers (both Lever and Railway to
drive our ''Star" Gins, and also manufac-
ture the celebrated 'Star" Threshing Ma
chimes. We furnish Gins with or without
Condensers. For sale by our agents and
dealers generally. Our complete ilustrat-
ed descriptive circular is sent, free Of
