Vanderbilt.

The wealth OF the Vanderbilt family
has been variously estimated, and the
reticence of the commodore himself
has adnitted of little else than mere
conjecture on this point. There is a
general opinion, however, among those
who are in a position to Judge most cor
rectly that the wealth vested in Com
molore Vanderbilt exceeds one hun
ircd millions OF dollars, aud a promi-
nent member of the family recently
said that the "old man" was worth more
than that sum. This vast fortune was
acquired by Cornelius Vanderbilt
through his own efforts, starting early
in life without capital or influence, His
parents We're poor, and his first money
was earned in conveying people to aud
fro in a row-boat between New York
and Staten Island. He made a large
amount of money in steamboating, but
the great bulk Of his wealth has been
acquired in railroad combinations and
in the manipulation of railroad stocks.
He is aud has been all his life q very
remarkable man. His self reliance and
pluck are as natural with him as draw
ing breath, and his will and purpose in
domitable. A man of such tremendous
mental force has he been that he has
moved forward to the accomplishment
Of his objects with power as irresisti-
BILE as one of his steamboats,. His one
purpose in life has been the acquisition
of money. To this end he has trained
his mental and physical resources with
the greatest care. He has made OF
himself machine that has always
obeyed the requirements OF his intel
lect, and wherever he has struck it has
been with telling force and effect. He
has always drank moderately and lived
regularly, taking just the requisite
am unit of exercise always. Smoking
and whist-playing are the only indul-
gences which he has permitted him
self to any considerable degree. Every
day he is to be seen driving ON the road
with a stump of a cigar between his
teeth, and until within a year past be
has had every evening some of his Gro.
nies, in for a rubber at whist and to
talk horse, a subject at which he never
tires. Latterly, however, his evenings
have been passed very quietly. He has
always been strict man of business,
kept his own counsel, and admitted OF
known no partners. He never allows
the plea of affection or charity to in
terfere with his business matters. Ap.
peals to his sympathy have about as
much effect as straw forced under the
wheels of o locomotive. He has beer
well, active and in the harness all his
life, and has never tired or weakened
He will be 80 years of age in May, and

POISONED BY POTATO BUGS.

One day last week DIR. J. II. Fish
burn, of this city, was called to
Dunnstown to attend a small son OF
E. 81. Forgis, who had been taken
suddenly very i'll. Upon the Doc
tors arrival he found the lad in a
very high fever-his pulse running
as high as 1913 and at times it was
impossible to count it. Upon the
first examination the Doctor was
confident that it was specific fever
and the SYMPTOMS were more like
poison from some member of the
belladonna family. But to all in
quiries he could not ascertain that
the boy had eaten or drank any
thing that would produce the.above
result. But in after conversation
the father referred to the manner in
which his little boy had been in the
habit of catching potato bugs, and
laying them on O fiat stone, would
take another stone and crush them.
This information gave DIR. Fishburn
an idea that it might be possible
that the boy had been poisoned by
inhaling the effluvia, and immedl-
ately administered medicine that
showed he was correct il his suspi
cions of poison, and also. gave him
cont.ol of the disease. This is the
first case Of the kind that has been
brought to our notice, and we trust
That this may act as a warning to be
careful how they dispatch these
troublesome and poisonous pests. It
was fortunate for Mr.. Forgis and
family that they;called in DR.. F.,
whose skill, no doubt, drove sorrow
from their house.-Lock Haven En-

PLAGUE OF LocusTs.

1t is good to learn that the plague
Of locusts by which Minnesota has
been visited is not so serious as the
first alarming accounts have led the
country to suppose. Instead of the
utter devastation of the State, 1t is
now estimated that only about ten
per cent. of it's area is affected, and
that the decrease of the crop from
this reason will not be much more
than eight per cent. of the general
average. This distress, of course,
remains very severe among those di-
rectly involved. and the contribu-
tions of the charita BILE to relieve il
will be well employed. But those
who feel the Importance of crop
this year have as yet no reason to
count Minnesota out Of their caIcu-
lations.

SPLITTING NUISANCE.

The Gle veland Herald says there
has been law suit in Buffalo grow
ing out of the expulsion of passen-
ger from street car. for the offense
Of splitting on the floor Of the car.
So far as the general prlnciple is
concerned, splitting on the car floor,
steam car or horse car-should be
held as nuisance not permitted.
Our average American rail car is
utterly unfit for cleanly man or
woman to walk through. But on
our steam railways women, In a
measure, can be protected by devot-
ing certain cars to them and their
male att endants,provided such male
attendants are not "expectorators.' -
And the splitting nuisance can par
TALLY be avoided by paying for a
seat in drawing room car, where
every seat has its spittoon. But we
insist upon it that splitting man is
unfit company for ladies and gentle
men and should not be permitted
to spit on the floor of a street car or
if on steam railway he should be
compelled to stay in the smoking
car
