AN ESTIMATION OF HIS VAST WEALTH

AN ESTIMATION OF HIS VAST WEALTH.
In conversation with reporter recently,
gentleman well acquainted from his official
duties with the real estate and stock markets
of this city, and having large acquaintance
among business men, said current rumors for
several years had ascribea fabulous wealth.
to William B. Astor, A. T. Stewart and Cor
nelius Vanderbilt Their fortunes were said
TO exceed $50, 900, 900 each, and were popularity
supposed to reach 800, 900, 900. But this is
very large sum of money. Very few people
stop to think what is meant by $100,000,000.
Pc sons unacquainted with the ways Of MAX
ing money and the numerous incidental losses
of business men, have no idea of the error of
the popular belief as to the wealth of our rich
men. Mr.. Astor was wcrth in all not more
than from $45,000,000 to $50, 000 900. Mr..
Stewards fortune did not exceed $25 900, 900.
Those acquainted with his business affairs
know that he was constantly carrying heavy
margin of indebtness on his purchase-not
beyond his ability.to carry, and not sufficient
to embarass him-bnt materially lessening
the aggregate worth of his estate on final
settlement and winding up of his affairs Mr..
Vanderbilt has not needed to own a majority
of the stock of the New York Central and
Hudson River Railroads. 1t has been suff-
cient for him and his sons, with few chosen
friends, to control $40,000000 of the stock.
Had his death not been so long anticipated
this valuable property would probably be sub
ject to the fluctuations of the market for a
time after his demise and forced sale Of the
stock would not yield the figures at present
quoted on the market, but his best friends do
not anticipate anything like a convulsion. In
view of this contingency, it is understood in
the inner circle of the Conmodores acqaint-
ance that he has disposed of his immense in
terest in the stock of his sons, which will
effectually prevent panic and keep the con
troll of the roads in the hands of those who
have SO long managed them. Mr.. Vanderbilt
will not let the public into the secret of his
fortune. He is willing enough 70 be consider
ed worth 500, 100000, but the exact figures
never will be known outside of his family, if
he can avoid it. The actual value of his es-
tate cannot be estimated with any certainty.
To say that he is worth from forty to sixty
millions of dollars is us near as any outsider
can get at it. The market value of the stock
owned by him must be taken into account
together with the general depreciation in all
kinds of business, which must necessary affect
the property and real estate of these railroads
and depreciate the worth of the franchise.
The Commissioners of Taxes and Assess
ments have assessed Mr.. Vanderbilt's personal
estate for 1876 at three million, an increase Of
one million Over Hs pr Sc lou Tribune.

A man who was not clever at conundrums,
in attempting to get off one at a tea party at
his own house the other evening, became ex-
ceedingly mixcd;y He intended 70 ask the old
question !; q WHY'S n woman like ivy ?" the
familiar but gallant answer to which is, " Be-
cause, the more YOU'RE ruined the closer she
clings," But he put it, "Why is ivy like a
womang" which none of the ladies could
tell, and 30 the unfortunate man told them
himself that it was I" Because the closer it
clings the more you're ruincd.y

Young men should be deeply impressed
with the vast importance of chershing those
principles, and of cultivating those habits
which will secure them the confidence and the
esteem Of the wise and the good
A young man may be unfortunate, lie may
be poor and penniless, but If he possess nu-
bending integrity, and upwavering purpose

barrassments and exigencies into which he is
thrown. The man MAY thus possess 4 capital
Of which pone, of the .niisfortunes and calami-
ties of life can deprive him. e
We have known men who have suddenly
been reduced from afiiuence to penury by
some Overwhelming, sqisfortune, which they
could neither forsee nor prevent. To-day
they were prosperous, tomorrow every
earthly prospect was blighted, and everything
in their future aspect of life was dark and
dismal. Their business was gone, their pros
perity gone, and they feel that all is gone
but they have rich treasure that nothing
can take away. They have integrity OF
character, and this gives them influence,
raises up friends, and furnishes them with
pecuniary aid, with which to commence life
once more, under suspicious circumstances.
We cannot too strongly impress upon our
young men the Importance of abstaining from
everything, which. shocks their moral sensi-
bilities, wounds their conscience, and has a
tendency to weaken that nice sense of honor
and integrity so Indispensable to good
character. Integrity of Character . who

advantages from itp It is better than riches;

cious stones and yet every man may possess
