How srsstus corning Began.

Arthur Pember, writing from Troy,
tells the following incident Ofthe early
life Of Erastus Corning:
The manufacture of merchant iron
at Troy dates back as far as 1919. In
that year John Brinckefhoff, an enter
prising iron merchant of Albany,
erected q small foundry and rolling
mill on the Hudson river, at its juno
ton with the Wynsntshill creek, and
The foundry was then surrounded by
woods; to-day it is the centre OfSixth
Ward Of the city. Mr.. Brinckerhoff7s s
business consisted in governing Russ
sian and Swedish iron bars into plates,
which were afterward cut by ma
.ehinery and headed by hand into nails.
A few years later, q young man, en-
gagged in the hardware business in
Albany on q small scale, was inform
ed by friend, whom he met in the
street; that 1.-THE little foundry ard
mill in the woods near TToy,n were at
that moment being sold at auction
close at hand They sauntered in the
sales room. The auctioneer had been
for some time trying to get an ad-
Vance on 3 bid of s., $50. With hardly
= A-OAAC4N > COAAGA4CAaLAOA VI MAlAL uC
was doing, the young hardware trad
er bid s., 500 and down came the auc-
tiOneer's hammer. The young man,
who had to hurry out to raise the de-
posit on his purchase, was Erastus
Corning. Such was Mr.. COrning's
modest beginning as a manufacturer
Of iron; business from which he has
realized millions. That little foundry
and rolling mill in the woods has
been gradually enlarged to what the
Albany Iron Works now are at cost
OF one and half millions of dollars.
But this is not all. Mr.. Corning has
probably more money invested in the
manufacture of iron than any other
capitalist in the United States. In
addition to being proprietor of the
Albany iron works, be is a partner
with John A. GrisWold in the Rensse-
laer iron works and in the Bessemer
steel works. He Is a partner in the
Corning Iron Company, of Albany;
be owns the Mount Savage Works in
Virginia, and is a holder OF a large
amount Of stock in the Port Henry
mines at Lake Champlain and in ma
ny other iron mines. He also holds
q third snare in the Fall Creek btu
minous coal mines for the supply of
MS works at Troy.

A Mueh TattOed man.

A Vienna (Austria) medical journal gives
an account Of a marVellously tattoed man
He is an Albanian, very finely formed, about
forty years old. Having got into trouble
with the authorities Of a district Of Chinese
Tartary while working gold mine In that
country, he was condemned TO be tattOed
The operation was Of course terribly pain
ful. 1t lasted three hours day during three
months. When the man is stripped Il ap-
pears as though his body was tightly envel.
oDed in q webbing Of rich Turkish stun.
From head 70 foot he is covered with dark
blue figures OF animals and plants. On the
forehead are two panthers in attitudes which
would be heraldically, described as regard
ant. There are no less than three hundred
and eighty-eight figures on the body. The
skin is now perfectly smooth and the pers-
piration IS unimpeded. This remarkable
man is now at, Vienna. but Will presently
proceed to Berlin and London.

One Of the ministers of EImira, New

called at his store with the iitweIve-

not afford so expensive an article: he
would be pleased to exchange it for
its marked value in other goods. And
the minister was soon vending his
way homeward, loaded down with
q dozen dollars worth of selected
groceries.
