GanernIl ICass,a Fortune.

The Lansing (AIichigan) Republican
gives IN interesting account of the man
ner in which tic Into Lewis Cass made
his fortune, from which wo extract the
following particulars: Ia
General Cass hid the foundation Of his
fortune while In the public service as Ter
ritorial Governor from 1914 TO 1881. He
received handsome salary regularly in
gold coin, and for part Of tho time he
rot double pay rs lndinn Commissioner
and Governor both.
but most of OasS's money was made
on n farm of about 200 acres which he
bought, within the limits OF Detroit, lying
only four blocks west Of the new City
Hall, and extending from the river back
one mile or more. He purchased this
farm about the year 1880 for $l2 900, pay
ing $4,000 cash down and giving his note
for 81, OOO-the only nOle he ever signed.
"DetrOit was At thut time Il struggling
little village Of wooden buildings, contain
ing only 9,929 inhabitants. General Cas-
did not seem TO have made great spcCu.
lation, and when he was offered $25, 900
for tho farm-more THIN doubling his In
vcstmcnt in less than three years-he
thought seriously Of closing with the offer
and selling out Buthe asked the advice
Of an intelligent eastern business man who
was visiting him in Detroit. Attcr dinner,
one day, the two gentlemen walked over
the farm from tho river bank to Its outer
boundaries.
"Said General Cass's friend to him: If
You wish to sell tho farm, will give you
$4,000 for it. @
"iOh, then, my mind Is made up; ]
will not sell Mt ALL replied tho General.
"Hc held on TO this piece Of real estate,
and became very rich through tho indus.
try and enterprise Of others around lin.
&c finally sold at good prices scattering
lots, giving ten years time for most Of the
purchase money, with interest at seven
per cent, but STIMULATING always that build
ings of considerable value should be erect
cd on the lots within short period. He
issued land contracts Of the above nature,
hut no deeds until the purchase money
was oil paid up.
ale also made q lucky hit by giving
largo lot for q Union school house, In the
midst Of his farm, on condition that the
city should erect a handsome brick build
ins and iron fence around 1t, within a
given time, and name the school house
3iler him. Tho "Cass Union SCHOOL,
rapidly increased the value of all lots in
ils neighborhoOd. ,.. hi
"Gcncral Cass avoided litigation. and
even in his will provided for settling, by
arbitration, any disputes that might arise
over his property. His last years were
cloudcd with tho fear thRt bis family
would come to want, and he LEFT not u dol
lar to any public or charitable object"
