nov MONEY! AccUMULATEs.

Some men have calculated the wealth Of the
rich men of New York. VIM. B. Astor Is said to
be worth one hundred millions now. -
This at per cent will amount in ten years
and one month to $780, 00O, 900 IN twenty
years aud two mouths to 600 GOO, 600 |;

it ten years further It viii amount to $25, $780,
600, O00--twenty five billion and six hundred
millions Of dollars in eighty years and eight
months. four billion six hundred millions
more than the whole assessed value Of thee
property Of the United States at the present
time. No person will doubt that we have in
the United States one hundred men who are
worth SCI, 1000, 900 each, and no one will doubt
that their incomes will average seven per cent
above their expenses.
Two billion dollars at Z per cent, paid
semi-annually and reloaDed (and no money
lies idle, it is always reloaned as soon as got,
and goes to gathering up interest), will double
itself in ten years and one month 4,000,-
100000 in twenty years and two month $8,-

months; $8s, COO, Ooc, 900, in fifty years and
five months-eleven billions more than
the whole assessed value of the United
Sites, and more than the whole nation will
lie worth at that time. Fifty years win make
the amount of the wealth of these one hun
dred men 1000, 900, 600, more than three
! times the value Of the whole property of the
United States at the present time. Comment
on these figures is unnecessary.

SOMETHING NEW ABOUT CHoLERA.-Dr.
Bell, of Louisville. maintains that mo case
of cholera has ever yet occurred, except as
the result of sleeping at night where the case
is, and no amount of exposure during the day
time, without the sleep at night in the local
ity, ever gave the disease. No mere sojourn-
err during the past three hundred years has
ever slept at night in the malarious season in
the Pontine Marshes (near Rome) without
dying. The Abruzzi mountaineeis, who put
in such crops as are raised there, sleep in day
time but never at night. All testimony that
has spoken ON this point in reference to yel
low fever testifies that no amount Of exposure
in day time is perilous, but that the only
danger Is in sleeping in the locality at night

POPULAR IGNORANCE OF A COMMON
MATTER.

Says the Philadelphia Ledger There Is
probably no business so generally participas-
ed in as insurance in which so little is particu-
larly known. Many think If they insure a
specified property for u, 100. and the proper
ty is partially or wholly destroyed, that they
recover the full insurance, regardless Of the
fact that the property destroyed may not be
of half the value. This Is a common error,
though of course confined to the less inform
ed in such matters. Others, carrying stock
varying in value from $50, 900 to $50, 900, and
an insurance for the smaller sum, suppose
that, in case of damage by fire, involving .
loss of the greater amount, they can recover
the entire face of their policies, when, in truth,
the insurance companies are liable only pro
rata for the loss sustained. II the insurance
policies in solvent companies are drawn in
plain terms for $25, 600, they will cover any
loss on stock valued at $3O, 900 to which they
apply up to the full specifications. But if
they contain what is known as "the average
clause, which reads, g 1t is understood and
agreed that claims under this policy shall only
be for such proportion of the entire loss as
the amount of this Insurance bears to the
whole value of the property insured, then in
case Of loss on any part Of SsO, QUO stock, with
20, 600 insurance. the companies win pay five-
sixths of the loss and the insured will bear
the other sixth himself. These are pieces Of
information well worth holding in remem-
brance, especially by the less informed on
the subject.

duelist, whom she finds practicilg with
pistol in his garden, and, what > worse
hitting the mark every time She impiores
his mercy, but is coslly repulssd BY the marks

son. Thereupos,, in her w.ath and terror the
poor woman snatches up pistol and shoots

will be acquitted and. indeed, II y dimon't %
