Two Rich Men.
as much

A NEW YORK correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Gazette writes:
"The chief holder of personal estate in
this city is Commodore Vanderbilt, who
is estimated at $4,000, 600, 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 controlling
interest in the Central, Hudson and Lake
Shore, besides his stock in Ohio s.
Mississippi and other important roads.
It was said of George Peabody that he
made almost the entire bulk of his enOr-
nous wealth after his tiftieth year. |
think a stronger statement can be made
Of the Commodore, for he has made the
largest part of his money since he was
sixtv-that is, within the last score of
years | suppose that when the war
broke out he was not worth five mill
ions. The inCessant and enormous in
crease of railroad values and the colossal
extent of his operations have brought an
increase so stupendOus as to remind US
of the old stories of Oriental magic. The
only instance in which real and personal
estate is combined almost equally in the
vast possessions of one individual is
found in A. T. Stewart He owns
enough in each of these shapes Ofwealth
to make dozen men rich. In point Of
real estate he has two great dry goods
establishments on Broadway; also the
Metropolitan Hotel and the former Uni
tartan Church. Add to these the Bap-
fist Church in Amity street, now used
as the stables Of his business teams, the
Depeau row, in Blocker street, and
above all his Fifth avenue palace, which
cost 81 100000. In personal estate is his
stock in trade, capital and bills receiva-
BILE, which must be $lO,OOOO00, and also
a large quantity of bank stock. In this
manner Stewart yields both classes of
property. He has differed entirely from
Vanderbilt in this point. The latter has
invested almost solely in railway stocks,
while the former has eschewed this form
of property in a very peculiar manner,
He has strong affinity for those things
which pertain to trade, and to this alone.
1t is said that his estates cannot be less
than $4,000, 000."

bles, if allowed to progress, will result in ser-

The Upton ADVERTISE sdmonish-
es the Republicans of Cedar county
TO rive special attention to their
forthcoming primary meetings. 1t
reminds them that there has been =
lack Il harmony the last two years,
which it i desirable to restore, snd
that the best way to establish this is
for the strong, earnest and intelligent
men to take part in I'll the caucuses
and conventions, % - to ensure wise
action and good nominations.
This il sound advice, everywhere
and always, but it il especially peril
nent the present year. The Repub-
lican party Is passing through . cri-
sis. The enemy is assaiting it on oil
sides, and under variety Of masks.
All the new organisations are the
cunning devices Of the old Democra-
cy, who sre attempting to pull in
pieces the party they cannot hope to
defeat, and who will resume their old
name md principles the moment they
can d. 70 with success. They should
be promptly met, ut every point, with
. firm p6alanx OF the old Republican
guard, and . determination manifest
cd to omit no effort to nominate IN
unexceptionsl ticket, and to give it
. triumphant support. Has there
not been enough Of ~snti-mnopoly"
and ssliberal" nonsense? What has
been gained By these vaunted IRE
6orm partiesf Who, except old
Bourbon Democrats, hsve been put
