Yanderbilt,s Great Railroad.

Nature allowed Vanderbilt to live far be
yond our allotted three score and ten years, as
if willing to concede to him the utmost Ii
cense of life and enterprise, and it is a re-
markable fact that in those additional years,
the last thirteen, he has made the really great
part of his fortune. If he had died at seventy
he would have been worth only s., ,000, 900 Or
$4,000 He dies at eighty three worth
$50, 200, 900 or $80,00O,000 Nothing makes
money like money. The property of Wander
blt is almost entirely in railroad stocks and
bonds-thasis, in railroads--f0r the stock is
the title and certificate of ownership. He
owns something in the railroad from Boston
to Albany, and in the railroad from Boston to
New York. He owns, with his son, about
10000 out of 200 shares of the New
York Central and Hudson River Railroad,
worth SGO,OOO,OO ard paying eight per cent
dividend with ease. The dividends, there
fore, on Vanderbilt's interest in this Company
amount to the monstrous revenue of 81, $780,
900 year. AS freights are lower now than
they have ever been, and railroad property
more than ever subject to an attack it follows
that tbiS property is seldom or never likely to
cost less than at present or to stand lower in
the MARKET New York Cor. Gin. Eng.

A story of the Hartford Pulpit.

A story of the Hartford pulpit, told in the
"Recolections," illustrates the simple Gus
toms of the days gone by. DR.. StroRg, after
his Revolutionary chaplaincy, was a pastor
for many years in the city, wheIe he was uni
versally loved and respected. On week days,
the Doctor was interested in the sale of rum
as member of a firm who distilled and sold the
liquor. This may seem strange, yet it is
worth remark that the liquor business appears
TO have been better in the time when ministers
managed it than now; but that is not all the
story. The firm failed, and the sheriff follow
ed up the minister with writ. The latter re-
tired to his house and shut himself up there to
escape, but as writs could not be served on
Sundays, he would come out of exile on those
days, and, making his way to the sanctuary,
would in safety lead his flock in their religious
duties, nor did anybody then comment on the
affair as peculiar. Another version of the ira
dition has it that the sheriff did arrest the
minister but he was released 'within limits"
as the custom then was, and the legal ''limits"
had to be especially extended for the benefit of
this culprit in order that he might be able to
reach the church where he preached H.
Clark; Scribner for November.

NEW CONFIDENCE GAME.
An Original Method of Fleeing
the UnsUspecting.

On Saturday last two men jumped off the
P, Fl. w. & G. express train at East Pales-
tine and going back short distance approach
ed farmer whose name we have been unable
to learn, who was working in his field. They
represented themselves as United States de-
tectives from Pittsburgh, and said they had
been informed that the farmer had five hun
dred dollars counterfeit government currency
in his possession. The farmer, of course,
pleaded not guilty to the charge, and remark
ed that he had only about $40 of money in
the world. The pretended detectives asked
to see this, and the farmer took out his pocket
