Rich Men of Chicago and New York.

Chicago has been making list of her veal.
thy men. 1t is admitted that Cincinnati has
some few men of wealth, and ST. Louis "a town
to the south of us, Chicago thinks it necessary
to explain, has several; but Chicago, az usual
beats creation" Real estate has been the
means by which these men rose. By far the
greater majority of Chicngo's miionaires are
Old men who came there about 1856 or earlier,
and bought land and sod and bought again
or who simply bought land and happily held
on to 1T. We find, moreover, the admission:
Another characteristic Of our wealthy men is
the evident lack of social attainments. They
were not, as a class, born to kid gloves. Fl
nanclal acumen has been gift with them, but
the finer culture of breeding, and the refine
ment that comes of good society, was not their
portion IN early YOUTH nor have they had time
to attend to such things in the busy whirl of
money making.
The two weathiest citizens are said to be
VIM. Is. Ogden, the first mayor of the city,
$4,000, 600; and Cyrus w. Mccormick, SIG
00O,0O0. Then follows the well-known names
Of Latin, Farrell, and Peck brothers, and some
fifty others whose Golfers are supposed to con-
tain from four million dollars down to pitiful
one million
From ChicagO's wealthy citizens we pass to
those OF New York, with glimpse at the heirs
for the New York milliOnares are all old men.
| w. B. AstOr heads the list He is now eighty.
Ills father put his money in land, land and
still more land. He was always buying and
never selling, owned real estate everywhere in
the city, single houses and solid blocks i'm
proved and unimproved. He commenced when
New York was not much more than village,
and the rise in vaule has been enormous.
Wm. b. AstOr has two sons, VIM. B. Astor,
Jr., and John Jacob Astor. After Astor comes
Alexander T. Steward. When he left for
! Europe lately his estate was estimated loosely
at one hundred million dollars. This is an
exaggeratiOn. He is worth between forty and
fifty millions. Vanderbilt fits across the
board next, carrying from thirty to thirty five
millions, varying according to the price of
railroad bond All others come long distance
after. None of these men are very admirable
in character; none seem to have many friends,
and all leave the impression OF being unhappy
so many King Midases.

In three years the young man was bankrupt.
He had failed in business and was compelled
to take position as clerk in stranger store.
His father was asked why it was that in a
business in which he had succeeded so well,
his son had failed.
He gave this characteristic answer: "When
first commenced business my wife and lived

had better food and when l could afford it,
we had chicken. But, you see, Johnny COM

The Druggist, Londen paper, states that
young lady who had long been addicted to the
use of opium applied to an eminent physician
to make hypodermic injections of morphine.
Beginning by injecting mixture of morphine
aud water, he gradually increased the proper
tion of water without letting the patient know
of it until after short time he used only tho
pure water. After each injection she would
gently fall into a refreshing sleep. For several
months the treatment was continued, the
patients system being gradually renovated by
tonics At length the lady was informed that
for months she had not been under the
influence of opium at all, and was greatly
rejoiced to find herself cured of any desire for
the drug.

A TEN.THoUsAND DOLLAR GIRL.--On a
certain day, on a Pennsylvania railroad, a
belle of thriving Pennsylvania town, the
daughter of wealthy lumber merchant, was
travelling in the same train with shrewd old
citizen of her native town 'and an agreeable
young gentleman from the West, who tells the
story:
The latter had been talking to the belle; but,
as night drew on, and the young lady grew
drowsy, he gave his seat to her and placed
himself beside the somewhat cynical Pennsyl-
vanian. The latter began the conversation by
pointing to a high mountain past which they
were whirlinR, and said:
"You see that mountain? Slxor eight years
ago it was covered with as fine a forest as ever
grew, and was worth ten thousand dollars and
upward. Now. without tree, covered with
stumps the land is scarcely worth contincn
tai. The net produce of that mountain is ovel
there in that seat, and he pointed to the re-
cumbent belle. "That is my calculation. Il
has Just absorbed all Of that lumber, which
her father owned to raise and educate the girl
to pay for her clothes and jewelry, bring hel
out in society, and maintain her there. Some
of you young men, if you were given your
choice between the mountain yOnder as it now
stands and the net produce on that seat, woulC
take the net produce; but, as for me, give mt
