on tho body Of jameson G. Nicholson, tho cir
cumBtancos OF whose strange death by suicide

himself with q narcotic poison. Mr.. D. @.
Nicol, agout Of tile Elliptic Sowing-AIacl1ine

concerning him: He was scotchman, OF gu
porior education, and it is thought that his
family reside in tho old country, Flo
taught olocution In his native country,
and could have made lis profession,

which drove him from homo to this country
Upon arriving here he Joined the Good 1emplars,
and attained all exalted position in the ortlor.
In July last he canvassod for tho Elliptic Sow
Ing -Maehino Company. Mr. Nicol docs not
think that lie was driven to desperation by poy-
erty, as le was in receipt Of handsome annuity
from Q Glasgow life insurance company. Ho
rather thinks that Nicholson rclapsod into his
old habit OF drinking, and took lis life in
drunken tit. h1r. Nieol saw him in tho Wost
Division Library one duy last week, and learnod
from him that he was getting along we'll, Gnan-

Wall street Speculators.

Spectators n Wall street are known as
"bulls, that is, sIeculators for the rise, and
'bears," 0r specuatnrs for the all. The
heaviest operators in the street. Commodore
Vanderbilt. Daniel Drew, Jay Gould. John
Stewart, jr., the late Horace + Clark, etc.,
have never been members Of the b. ard, but
have bought al sold through their respective
brokers. OF these Mr.. Vanderbilt stands
apart fiom all others, He il never a bear.
He never sells that which he las moi got. In
the old days of Nicaia.ua Transit be rsed,
when he had quarreled with the Pacific Mail,
to sell few thousand 81 ares OF that stock
''shoIt.' But this was more in Il e light Of a
formal declaration OF war, an luu al war
whoop, than 4 speculatl u looking 10 profit.
OF late y. ars he has been persi tent bull,
but only IN the stocks W ich he has cortro'l-
ed himself. People who have followed him,
and have not bought LIore stock than they
could carry through panics, have always made
money. Durir the Black Friday panic of
1868 New York Central fell from z1S to 145,
and vast array OF the Commodore follow
ers, being u'.abte TO stand so heavy q fall,
were compelled to sell oui, ard were ruined.
'lf you had bought a hundred shares iE-
stead of thousand" said the veteran, when
they went to him for consolation, syou could
have held on. Never be in too great hurry
to get rich. -.. II
The great power of the Commodore is de-
rived from his enormous income, and FROM
bis habit OF concentrating his strength op
one object at /. time. 1t has been estimated
! that his surplus income at pres Mt IS MT less
than six millions of dollars. Now be Is not
buying foot of zeal estate or single bond
OF any kind. He invests the wi ole OF bis in-

iayorite at the time. Thus in the course Of
a year he retire, six millions OF this stock
