The estate OF William B. Astor, Of
New York, is stated TO be worth the
almost incalculable sum OF 5000, OOO,.
600. When John Jacob Astor, the
father Of William B., died in 1885, it
was then supposed to be about $25,
100000. It, in less than forty years
it has multiplied eightfold, what will
it be in half century from now, if
managed with tho same prudence
and ability? It will exceed tho
wealth OF the Rothschilds. The five

worth the comfortable little sum OF
