RICH MEN OF New YoRK-There
are some very wealthy individuals in
New York city. William B. Aston,
and A. I. Stewart, and Cornelius Van
derbilt are supposed to be worth over
fifty millions of dollars each. Daniel
Drew is variously estimated and is gen.
orally believed to be the possessor of at
least forty millions. He is a very lib
eral giver toward the Methodist denom-
nation, of which church he is an earn
est, if not consistent, member. He is
much dreaded in Wall Street, where he
operates occasionally to the great dis
truction of small capitalists. Jay Gould
is figured up to fifteen millions by the
knowing ones, and H. n Smith, too,
is reported at about ten millions; still,
these figures might be difficult to au-
thenticate. The two brothers Stuart,
who commenced life in New York as can
dy pedlers, are presumed to be worth
from four to five millions each. So we
see that sugar refining is profitable
business. George Law is believed to
be the possessor of over six millions of
dollars. The bankers, Brown Brothers,
are set down at fully twelve millions
each, and Peter Cooper at nearly five
millions. Horace B. Clafin, of the
firm of H. B. Clafin & Co., the second
largest dry goods establishment in town,
has an individual property valued at
from SIS 100000 to 100000. He
is native of New England, and has the
appearance and bearing of genuine
Yankee" He is much more popular
than his rival, A. T. Stewart, and seems
to be aman of much broader sympathies
and more generous instincts. Abel A.
Low, long the President of the Chamber
of Commerce, and the great importer,
has a very long purse very full of sequins.
He may be set down in figures at &c.
100000 or S7,000,000, and this is
rather an under than over estimate.

Life Insurance.

The attention of the public is called
to the exhibit made in another column
of the losses paid by the Life Insurance
Companies, represented on this coast, to
policy holders, within the past year. By
this statement it will be seen that sixteen
companies have paid one hundred and
eighty one losses, aggregating nearly one
million dollars. This may serve to cor
rect the impression which some have
that Life Insurance Companies are spec
ulative bodies, drawing continually from
their patrons, and making no returns.
Every man should examine this state
ment carefully, study the subject of life
insurance as matter of duty to himself
and those dependent upon him, and
govern himself accordingly.

The following singular and interest
ing anecdote, illustrating the sagacity
of the horse, appears in the Court Jour
nal: GA German cavalry soldier and
his horse were captured in the fight at
lie Bourget, and taken off with other
prisoners. Three days after the fight
they halted for the night in a village
The poor fellow was sitting in the
evening near the window, thinking how
he might escape, while his noisy cap
tors round the fireplace were fuddling
themselves with wine. Suddenly he
hears in the streets the neighing of
horse. He believes it his brave steed
escaped from a shed where she had
been placed, and in search of her mas
ter. One of the panes of the window
was replaced by paper; boring with
his finger hole in it, he lays his
mouth to the opening, calling, cautious
ly and coaxingly, 'Lizzy, Lizzy!' A
joyous neighing is the reply, and Lizzy
is close to the window. In a moment
the whole frame to the easement is
smashed, and before the tipplers know
what is the matter the captive soldier
is outside and on the bare back of his
faithful mare. As if the sagacious an
imal knew that the life of her master
was at stake, she runs off like whirl-
wind, and yet she is not urged on by
spur or bride, forthe franc tireurs have
taken the boots off the rider, and the
bride is hanging with the saddle in the
shed. Shots are fred after them, and
bullets whiz past their ears without
stopping the horse. The hussar does
not know the way, but 'Lizzy' remem-
bers it, and after thirty-two hours both
arrive at the outposts of LIE Bourget,
dead beat, but happy to gain their COM
rades -

THE FACT WAs.-Jinks, the Hast.

water his milk. In the hall of Gus
toner in his round, the sad omission
flashed upon links wounded feelings.
A large tub of clear water stood on the
floor by his side, no eye was upon him,
and thrice did Jinks dilute his milk
with large measure filled from the
tub, before the maid brought up the
jugs. Jinks served her and went on.
While he was believing down the next
area, his first customers footman beck
oned him from the door. links return

the library. There sat my lord who
had just tasted the milk.
"Jinks," said his lordship.
"My lord" replied Jinks.
"Jinks," continued his lordship, 81
should feel particularly obliged if you
would henceforth bring me the milk
and water separately, and allow me the
favor of mixing them myself"
"Well, my lord, it's useless to deny
the thing, for suppose your lordship
watched me while"
"No," interrupted the nobleman
"the fact is that my children battle at
home, links, and the tub in the hall
was full of sea water, Jinks."

VERDIs Music. The Figaro has
the following skit upon the character of
Verdi's music: "M. X. had become
deaf by degrees, so deaf that he could
not hear the sound of a pistol fired
close to his ear. His doctor was in
despair, when at last a brilliant idea
occurred to him. He called upon his
patient, as usual, and appointed meet
ing at eight o'clock that evening at the
Boulevards DIES Italiens. The patient
was punctual, and the doctor took him
to the Italian opera, taking care to
place him in stall near the big drum.
The opera was II Trovatore.' Toward
the fourth act the invalid manifested
symptoms of considerable surprise; the
the terrific noise of Verdi's music had
unstopped his ears. 'Doctor!' he ex-
claimed, Doctor, you have saved me
l hear again, l hear!' The doctor did
not stir. Il tell you,' repeated NJ. X,
shouting in the doctors ear, 1 can
hear perfectly; pray speak to me- The
doctor appeared unmoved. His client
was cured, but he had become deaf
himself"

How TO CATCH THIEF. - The fol-
lowing by Ruff" discloses an ingeni-
GUS mode of catching thief. care being
had that there are no reporters around:
A gentleman of Saugerties, N. Y,
had his watch stolen ont of his house one
night; and in the morning, after discov-
ering his loss, he and his wife counseled
together on the matter, and the more they
counseled the more they didn't know
about the missing watch; so resolving to
say nothing about it to nobody the
gentleman went to the squire of the vii
lage and proceeded to lay his sorrow be-
fore him, that he might pour oil on his
wounds. The squire was a shrewd fell
low. But this affair rather pushed him.
He inquired of the robbed one if he mis-
trusted any one of his neighbors that
ever called at his house:
"No," said he, "no one
"Have you any servants that would
take it
81 don't keep any servants" said
the man.
odd the thief leave anything by
which you might identify him. :"
''No sir, not even toe-nail.
"Have you said any thing about this
affair to any one -
"No, only to my wife, and she has
not mentioned it to any person. No
one has been in my house since it hap
pened. Not person knows of it but
you, my wife, myself, and the thief"
i" WE'LL" said the squire, after think
ing over the matter for little, 6 don't
you nor your wife say a word about this
watch affair, and let the thing rest !:
think it will be the best thing you can
do, in such blind case as this. The
thief may bring himself out yet"
Well, so it went, think for fifteen
years, and was nearly forgotten, when
one day this gentleman met one of his
most intimate friends in. the street, who
accosted him with:
ooh, how is it with that watch that
you had stolen some fifteen years ago.
Said the gentleman, savagely:
"Now, sir, you've had that watch !;
for you are the only one who knows
anything about it, excepting the squire,
my wife and myself; and if you don't
bring my watch back to me, and pay
me well for the loss and trouble you
have caused me, I'll have such nest Of
hornets about your ears as you never
dreamed Of will wait till tomorrow
morning for my watch and thirty dol
lars; if not at my hand then, you look
out for squalls y and with a threatening
look which BODIED no good to the aston
ished culprit, he turned and left him.
1t is needless to say that the watch and
money were at his house long before
the appointed hour. As the squire had
expected, the thief had brought himself
out.
We remember an incident similar to
this that occurred in Portsmouth, many
years ago. William Sheafe missed "a
barrel of pork from his cellar, but kept
the matter to himself for year, when
man who was employed by him in
quired if he had ever discovered who
stole his pork. Mr.. Sheafe replied,
"Never till now, sir and as you and l
only knew of it, it is evident that either
you or l stole it, and know it wasn't

Do HORSES REASON For the last
two years l have driven my mare nearly
every day over the same road. About
one mile from home are two roads, one
leading to the church, the other to the
depot. Now, six days in the week, l
drive to the cars, and on Sunday to the
church. At the point where the roads
separate, l give my mare her head,
leaving her free to make her choice,
and on weekdays she will go straight
to the depot, and on Sundays she goes,
of her own free will, to the church; l
never knew her to fail me yet. 1t puz-
zled me for long time to learn how
she should know any difference in days;
and l have come to the conclusion that
she reasons from facts-facts connected
with everyday life. On weekdays l
start from my house in carryall, thus
making an entire change, both in time,
place, and carriage; and from these
facts she must be guided in her choice
of roads. Many say this is instinct; if
SO, where does reason begin.
