happily. His will has been made for nearly
twenty wears, and he is said to overhaul It
every year, making additions OF changing
it as he thinks proper. Some one once said
to him: !" You ought to be very careful
about yourwill, Commodore, for where there
are such vast interests at stake there may
be endless trouble and litigation" To which
he is reported as having said: "What the
HI do l care what they do with my money
after am gone. shall take good care Of
it while am here, and after that it does me
no good" Still it is believed he does care,
and that his plan is to preserve the bulk
of his fortune in the shape in which he will
leave it, at least during the generation
which next succeeds him.
Of course. Com Vanderbilt is surrounded
with vast number of hangers-on and
favorites; but he allows none around him
who are troublesome, and it is more than
doubtful if any of them have any influence
over him to the extent of making that in
fuence pecuniarily profitable. He receives
thousands of begging letters, and never
reads any of them. He keeps his money
continually invested and keeps only
moderate amount on deposit. He has only
two banks of deposit. He fitted out the
Banks expedition during the war at
an expense of over three hundred thousand
dollars, and presented the steamer
Vanderbilt to the Government after laying
out S1,OOO,OO0 in fitting her as a ram to be
used against the Merrimac. He gave $780,
900 to the Vanderbilt University at Nash
vile, paid for the Church of the Strangers
in this city, and has given large amounts in
charities. He supports MOravian Church
at Staten Island, near which is the tomb
which he caused to he built for his final
resting place. He never gives money in in
discriminate charities, and only gives when
he has satisfied himself that his charity will
accomplish real good.

UNDERGROUND LONDON.

Underground the city of London is GER
tertairly the most wonderful in the world
1t is labyrinth of drain pipes, gas pipes
and underground railways. There are
points in the soil of London where it would
be extremely difficult to find room for
another pipe. One company alone-the
Gas Light and Coke Company-supplies
two districts with nearly 400 miles of pipes,
varying in diameter from three inches to
four feet. These are the main pipes merely,
and from them every house and street lamp
receives on an average six or eight feet of
small piping. In addition to these and the
underground telegraph wires there are no
less than $500 miles of drain pipes of vari-
Gus dimensions. Less familiar to us, but no
lie important, are the lead and iron tubes
leaden pipes with outer castings OF iron
along which written messages, packed in
little felt or gutta percha cases, are blown
from station to station. The convenience
of these messages is immense. A steam
e.gne forces in blast af air, and in about
a minute it travels a distance of $50 yards.
There are at present - stations on the
underground railway, and, as the people
walk upon the streets of London, electricity
is flashing messages above their heads, and
little missives are whizzing and darting just
under their feet. AS many as 1900 messages
pass to and fro in day. The drainage sys-
TEN of London presents a world of under
ground streets some two or three thous-
and miles in extent All the drains empty
into three great sewers running parallel
with the Thames, which sewers connect in
the neighborhood of Victoria Park, and
through Barking Creek discharge into the
river. Men are constantly employed keep
ing these drains in repair. LondOners never
pour pail of water down drain but at the
depth of that mysterious aperture somebody
is making way for it. A stranger, properly
costumed, can explore these depths, which
resemble vaulted galleries, in the sides OF
which are traps forming various small chan
nels. When the storm waters come, as they
sometimes do during a thunder storm, the
torrent is fearful-so much SO that upon sew
eral occasions men have lost their lives.

CHARACTER OF GEN. LEE.

In his late speech, delivered at Atlanta,
B. H. Hill pays tLis deserved tribute to the
character Of Robert E. Lee:
"When the future historian comes to sur
vey the character of Lee, he will find it
rising like huge mountain above the undu-
lating plain of humanity, and he will have
to lift his eyes high towards heaven to catch
it's summit. He possessed every virtue OF
the other great commanders without their
vices. He was foe without hate, a friend
without treachery, soldier without cruelty,
and a victim without murmurng. He was a
public officer without vices, private citi-
zen without wrong, Christian without ny
pocricy, and man without guile. He was
Caesar without his ambition, Frederick
without his tyranny, Napoleon without his
selfishness, and Washington without his re-
ward. He was Obedient to authority as a
servant, and royal in authority as a king.
He was gentle as woman in life, modest
and pure as a virgin in thought, watchful as
Roman vestal in duty, submissive to law
as Socrates. and grand in battle as Achilles"

CREMATION IN EUROPE.-The question of
cremation vs.. burial is being discussed both
in Germany and Switzerland. At Zurich,
2OOO persons have subscribed towards an
association founded in favor of burning the
corpses, and thus protecting the salubrity
of tie town where the burial grounds are
becoming more and more scarce. At Basic,
even the orthodox clergymen, for similar
reasons, publicly ia 'or the adoption of Gre
nation. As for Germany, the reform makes
some progress, and is much discussed in the
public papers. The well-known Berlin firm
of Siemens recently advertised the inven-
ton of new furnace for the intended
operation. A proposal has been made by
one of the churchwardens of a Jewish syna-
gogue in Berlin to establish, on new
burial ground which they have lately
bought, one of the above-named furnaces
for families who would make use of it for
their parents or other relatives.

The President and the Republican Del
egatiOn from South Carolina.

WASHINGTON. April s.-The President, in
his interview with the delegation antago
nizing the taxpayers, is quoted thus: The
President expressed himself quite satisfied
with their statement, and took occasion to
say that he was not correctly reported when
the South Carolina Democratic delegation
called few days before. He did not then
say that South Carolina and Louisiana were
badly governed; he merely told the delega-
ton that if the condition Of affairs in those
States were as they represented, the remedy
was in the hands Of the people, to be applied
through the ballot box. He did not believe
what was said by partisans against the
Southern States governments.

A Walk for Life.

On Sunday afternoon "A young man named
George Falk swallowed, as he stated, three
ounces of laudanum and five grains of NOR
phia, in order to end his life, as was reported
yesterday. There was but one way Of saw
ing him, and that was to keep him in mo-
ton. After relieving him as far as possible,
his physician, DR.. NJ. J. Gately, ordered that
he be walked until he was out of danger.
At 2::}O O'clock Sunday afternoon he was put
upon his tramp for life, and was forced to
walk in the open air as rapidly as he could.
His father kept by him for long time, and
a friend or policeman assisted.
After some hours the father gave out, and
finally officers and friends grew tired. At
last officers had to be taken from their beats
and made to do duty in saving the life of the
would-be suicide. When the walk COM
menced, it was was with great difficulty
that he could he kept going, AMI SO great
was his stupor that at times he would almost
fall like stick. Frequently it was necessa-
nv to catch him and move him on. He
reeled at times like drunken man, and
then again he would revive considerably.
The dreary, monotOnOus walk was kept up
without intermissiOn until $50 o'clock Mon
day morning. when the physician consented
that he should be allowed to rest. The life
Of the young man was saved, but the strug-
gle for freedom from the effects of the drugs
was severe one. To have stopped three
minutes would have been fatal

AdfOs.

From the Golden Age
What better word can my sad lips now say
Than to commend
Thy footsteps to his guiding, o. my frie' d,
And pray that he may guard thee night and cay?
I cannot bid thee happiness REGAIN;
Only one word
Adios-but be sure if that b. heard
Above will save thee from a world Of pain.
It's spoken with heart distraught with grief
At its own loss:
But while my pale lips trembling kiss the cross
l say Adj S. Suo g i'll my belief.
To God! o! may his strengthening arm defend,
May his great he TT
Encirc'e thee and nevermOre depart
Encompassing thy life unto the end.
If in the rounds of his eternity
We two shall meet
This now sad hour with thee seem dear AID sweet,
A precious link of loves great unity.
Adios, and adios, once again
murmur not
And do not thou assal thy bitter lot,
But bring thy lips and heart to say Amen.

THE BRITISH TURREr-SHIp.-The Subert

THE BRITISH TURRET-SHIP.-The Suberb,
the latest monster vessel of the British navy,
is an irOn-bnilt brOadside ship, having a
load displacement of $500 tons, and engines
capable of working up to 5000 hor e-power.
