An industrious PennIe.

Every Swiss city and large town has
its special industry. Some excel in one
branch of manufactures and some in
another; bat, taken IN their entirety,
they aggregate very respectable pro-
duction for so small nation. While
the Swiss raise more than enough meat,
butter and cheese for their own con-
sumption, they are obliged to import
about 800, 900 barrels OF -four per an
NUM- from France anu Germany. Nor
do they grow nearly enough wool to
clothe themselves but, from the pro-
cesds of their sales Of silk and cotton
fabrics, of embroidery, watches, jewell
ry, chemicals and wood carvings, they
are abundantly enabled to supply all
their wants in the shape of imported
goods and food. The Swiss are certain
~ the most industrious people in the
world, as well as the most frugal. Ev-
erybody works-men, women and chill

loafer class, and few drones, In this

Two Rich Men.

A New York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette writes sThe chief
holder of personal estate in this city
Is Commodore Vanderbilt, who is esti-
mated at $40, ZOO, 900, the largest part
of which Is In railway property. He
owns enough In the Connecticut river
and New Haven roads to be a director
In each, and he also owns the control
ling interest In the Central, Hudson and
Lake Shore, besides his stock in Ohio
roads. Ii was said of George Peabody
that he made almost the entire bulk of
his enormous wealth after his fiftieth
year. l think stronger statement
can be made of tue Commodore, for he
has made the largest part of his money
since he was sixty-that is, within the
last score of years. 1 suppose that
when the war broke out he was not
worth five millions. The incessant and
enormous increase of railroad values,
and the colossal extent of his opera
