GEN. CAss' FoRIUNE.-The Lansing,
Mich, Republican gives us an interesting
account of the manner in which the late
Lewis Cass made his fortune, from which
we extract the following particulars:
Gen. Cass laid the foundation of bis for
tune while in the public service as terrific
rial governor from 1913 to 1881. He receiv-
ed a handsome salary regularly in gold
coin, and for a part of the time he got
double pay us Indian commissioner and
governor both.
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 ex-
tending from the river back one mile or
more. He purchased this farm about the
year 1880 for $4,000, paying $4,000 cash
down and giving his note for s2,000-the
only note he ever signed.
Detroit at that time was a struggling lit
tie village of wooden buildings, containing
only 2,222 inhabitants. Gen. Cass did not
seem 10 have made a great speculation, and
when he was offered $4,000 for the farm
more than double his investment in less
than three years-he thought seriously of
closing with the offer and selling out. But
he asked the advice of an intelligent east
ern man who was visiting him in Detroit.
After dinner, one day, the two gentlemen
walked over the farm from the river bank
to its outer boundaries.
Said Gen. Cass friend to him: "If you
wish to sell the farm, l will give you s5O,-
900 for it,"
"Oh, then, my mind is made up; I will
not sell at all, replied the General.
He held on TO this piece of real estate,
and became very rich through the industry
and enterprise OF others around him. He
finally sold at good prices scattering lots,
giving ten years time for most OF the pur-
chase money, with interest at seven per
! cent, but STIMULATING 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 up.
He also made n lucky hit by giving
largo lot for union school house, in the
midst OF his farm, on condition that the city
should erect handsome brick building and
iron fence around it, within n given time,
and name the school house after him. Tho
Cass Union School rapidly increased the
value of all lots in its neighborhood.
General Cass avoided litigation and even
in his will provided for settling by arbitra-
ton any disputes that might arise over his
property. His last years were clouded
with tho fear that his family would come
to want, and he left not dollar to any pub
lie or charitable object.

A Chicago lady has written a long let
ter to the Journal of that city, eloquently
advocating the use of fnce-powder. She
SAYS she would as soon think of being
ashamed of her tooth brush rs Of her pow

An old lady, on being examined before
a magistrate as to her place of legal settle
ment, was asked what reason she had for
supposing her husband had legal settle
ment in that town. The old lady said;
"He was born and married there, and thew
buried him there, and If that isn't settling
him there, don't know what is"
A young lady contemplating matrlmo
