under "Old Hickory" But he asked
the advice Of an Intelligent Eastern
business man who was visiting him in
Detroit. After dinner, M day, the
two gentlemen walked over the farm
from the river bank to its outermost
boundaries; observed its noble water
front, its level stretch of land, afford.
ing such favorable street grades, and
its proximity to the center of bust
ness.
Said General Cass's friend to him:
eff you wish to sell the farm, I wi
give you $4,000 for it."
"Oh, then, my mind is made up; ]
will not sell at all" replied the Gen
eral.
He held on to this choice piece OF
real estate, and became very rich
through the industry and enterprise of
others around him. He finally sold
at gooo prices scattering lots, giving
ten years time for most of the pur-
chase money, with interest at seven
per cent , but stipulating always that
buildings OF considerable value should
be erected on the lots within a short
period. He issued land contracts OF
the above nature, but no deeds until
the purchase money was all paid. OF
course the improvement made on a
part of his lots greatly enhanced abe
value OF the remainder, SO that what
land he left was continually getting to
be worth more than the whole at pre-
yious periods.
He also made a lucky hit and Sc
cured cheap Immortality for his name
by giving a large lot for a Union
school-house, in the midst Of his farm,
on condition that the city should erect
q handsome building and iron fence
around it, within a given time, and
name the sc~hooi-houss after him. The
'tCass Union School" rapidly in
creased the value Of all lots in its
neighborhood.
We never heard that General Cass
was a hard creditor. He avoided liti-
CATION, and even in his will provided
for settling, by arbitration, any dis
putes that might arise over his prop
erty. He made his fortune honestly,
as the world goes, but knew little of
the luxury of MISUNDERSTANDING,

LEWIS cAss.
How he Amassed his Fortune, and
How he Used it

General Lewis Cass died IN the year
1866 mt Detroit, leaving a fortune of
about two million dollars. He COM
menced life in New Hampshire go poor
that his mother rocked him in a sap
trough for want of a cradle; and he
never threw off the feeling of poverty
.hus early impressed upon his mind.
His last years were clouded with the
fear that his family would come to
want, and he left uot q dollar to any
public or charitable object.
Cass laid the foundation of his for
tune while in the public service as
Territorial Governor from 1914 to
1881. He received q handsome salary
regularly in gold coin, and for a part
of the time he got double pay as In
dian Commissioner and Governor both.
We think he richly earned all he re
eeiVed for his wise and energetic Ia
bors in the development of our "beau
tiful Peninsula"
But most of Cass' money was made
on a 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 lore. He
purchased this farm about the year
1880 for s13, 000, paying $40, 900 cash
down and giving his note for $4,000
the only note he ever signed. De
troit was at that time a struggling lit
tie village of wooden buildings, con-
tanning only 1922 inhabitants. For
several years afterward its growth was
slow. and it received a check in the
cholera season of 1882. General Cass
did not seem to have made a great
speculation, and when he was offered
S25, 900 for his farm-more than doub-
ling his investment in less than three
yesrs-he thought seriously of closing
with the offer and selling out His
home was then in the city of Wash
ington, and he was Secretary of War

INDUCED in every within and fancy
by them, and all of her friends and
relatives, she had grown up from in
fancy to be of a caPricious, inpulsive
and headstrong disposition, and in ad-
dition to this she was inclined to be
what is is termed nowadays FAST"
and was on that account a little prone
to firt. During her shopping and
~promenading excursions through the
city she, like many other youn. girls,
INDUCED in little coquetries with
strangers, whom she would meet, by
means of what is known as the
handkerchief Irritation" and by this
silly custom she CHANGED to form a
sort of street acquaintance with q
young man by the name of Shaw, at
hat time making his headquarters
there. This acquaintance was kept
up for several weeks, and our heroine
became perfectly infatuated with her
strangely acquired friend. About SIX
weeks after she first met him, he one
day overlook her on the street, and
after a short conversation invited her
to accompany him to a restaurant, and
indulge in oysters OF some other del
icacy, which invitation she accepted.
While they were engaged in discus
si:g the edibles, he suggested to the
young lady that it would be a good
idea for them to go forth and get mar
ried. One can not easily imagine
what influenced our young heroine to
do SO, yet, without any deliberation
On this strange proposal, she accepted
it, and in a very short time they were
made one. When the girl parents
we're informed of what she had done
they were highly incensed, and refus-
ed to have anything to with their
daughter or her husband. The infat-
uation which had actuated her to un-
lite with q person of whom she knew
comparatively nothing caused her to
cling to him against the pleadings and
th~reatenings Of her family, and he
finding that everything was not SO
pleasant in Toledo as he wished, pack
ed up his and his new found wife's
traps and came to indianapolis, where
he shortly after engaged in the bust
ness of peddling a patent wife clothes
line. Things did rot long continue
pleasant between this strangely united
couple, and friends of the pair say
that internecine war prevailed to a
considerable extent between them
from al carly date after their mar
riage. The trouble continued until
Monday, when the kind husband quiet
ly packed up his wiie's trunk, sen it
by express to her parents at Toledo.
and then informed her that he had
to quit" and that she
might go home to the old folks, or
wherever she pleased. Having de-
livered himself of this tender-heartcd
speech, he warhled off to no one knows
where, forgetting in the hurry of the
moment to leave sufficient money
with the thus cruelty deserted wife to
her expense home, il she was
there inclined to go. She is nov stay
ing through the kindness of the lady
the establishment, at a board
ing house on Tennessee street. and her
villainous husband is gone to parts I'M
known. Such a man deserves hang
and this account of the result of
folly should prove a lesson and
example to many OF the rising genera
ton who never consider consequences.
