chiefly in New York. lie was well verse1
in literature, but Of a retiring disposition.
and mingled hat little with the world. In
business affairs and the administration of his
vast property he was shrewd and cautious.
lie leaves three sons and two daughters
His life was laborious, and his personal
habits simple and frugal. 1t is said that
he gave largely in quiet charities to the
poor His only public benefaction, 50 far
as we remember, was his gift to the Aston
Library, for which his father left by will
100000, and the son has given probably
as much more. Mr.. Astor married daugh-
