A CHINESE PHILOsOPnER-Ana article in
CornhiH on the writings Of the Chinese phil
osopher, Leih-tsze, who lived in the fourth
century. B. c., quotes this story from the an
cient sage:
"a stupid countryman, 90 years of age, had
his dwelling on the northern slope Of lofty
mountain range, 200 miles long and 10000 GU.
bits in height. One day he was struck with
the thought that road to the south was emi
nently desirable: so he called his family to-
gether, and proposed to level the precipices
and make road through to the southern wa
ters. His wife demonstrated, limiting that the
old mans strength would not suffice to demol

RICHEST MEN IN AMERICA.

The New York correspondent of the Cincin.
natl Commercial writes: "The three richest
men in America are VIM. B. Astor, A. T.
Stewart and Commodore Vanderbilt, all resi-
dents Of New York city. Astor's wealth il
mainly in real estate and its revenues; Van
derbilt's is mainly in railway stocks and their
dividends; Stewards in goods, houses stores,
factories, land and stocks. The aggregate
wealth of each one of them is supposed to be
between $75,0O0,OOO and $780, 1000, which
looks rather heavy. Nobody knows exactly,
they cannot tell themselves within q million or
two. Those who know most about their at.
fairs put the figures higher, and that the in.
come tax return of q few years ago which
showed each one of them to be worth between
twenty and thirty millions, gave no proper idea
of their real wealth. Astor lives ostentatious.
ly; Vanderbilt lives in a three-st0ry brick
lives in a marble palace on Fifth Avenue,
more magnificent than any other residence on
the American continent, and equalled by few
in any of the great cities of Europe. Astor
and Vanderbilt are New Workers by birth;
Stewart is native of the north of ireland.
Astor is large, heavy man of seventy. with
strong features and rubicund face like parch-
ment. and gives the impression of being hard
up; Vanderbilt is tall, slim. handsome, proud
looking man of nearly eighty, straight as an
arrow. Astor has heirs to his estate. Wander.
bilt has children to whom he can leave his
fortune, but Stewart is childless. Astor's pub
lie benefactions are confined to something like
a couple of thousand dollars which he gave to
the Astor Library, and the two golden candle
sticks, nine feet high. which be gave to Trinity
Church. Vanderbilt has never made any pub
lie benefactions. excepting steamship to the
Government during the war, until very recent
ly, when he gave million dollars for educa-
tianal purposes, one-half this sum to found
university in Tennessee and the other half to
another educational institution. Stewart has
always had the reputation of being close fisted,
but hs must be credited with his million dollar
"Home for Womer," which will be completed
next year Astor is an Independent Metho-
dist, and Stewart is said to be inclined to
think for himself Stewart is a scholarly man.
Vanderbilt is not. Astor is an accomplished
man of the wOrld."-Rural New Yorker.

WHAT HAS BECOME OF DoEsTIcKs?-
'Doesticks' (Nortimer H. Thompson) began
writing his droll extravagancies for Detroit
daily more than twenty years ago. Novel and
laughter provoking, they were widely copied
and gave him so much reputation that he was
soon invited by the Tribune. in this city. to
take position on its staff. He accepted with
alacrity, continuing his sketches in that jour-
nal. and subsequently publishing six or eight
books. most of which had large sale Capa-

not genius, he had the eccentricity vulgarly as

He left the Tribune long ago, and has been
earning for some time precarious livelihood
by irregular reporting. and by contributing ar
ticles of the old, though deteriorated, sort, to
some of the sensational weeklies. His career,
which at the outset promised to be brilliant,
has been the very opposite They who may
have envied him once would hardly envy him
now. Little more than a name, even that is
we'll nigh forgotten. He looks very different
from what he did twenty years ago. He was
then handsome, dark.haired, dark-eyed
youth, full of vivacity. hopefulness and ambi-
ton. Now he is decidedly stout. not to say
coarse. in appearances; his comeliness, oil the
fine lines of his face and his symmetry Of fig

Butler and Dawes. In Michigan, too,
though the Republicans have Il small ma

Zach Chandler is imperilled. The De-

lican journal in Michigan, has taken
bold ground against his recollection on ac-
count of his corrupt practices and gencr-
a unfitness. There will be II division
