Death of the Old Commodore.

Vanderbilt is dead and buried at last
there is no doubt whatever about that.
He is as dead as was Marley and he "was
as dead as Il door-nail" The event Gre
ated no sensation on Wall street, it had
already been discounted there; and all
financial operations concerned in Wander
bit have been conducted for some time on
the basis of this result as if it had already
happened The old Commodore expired
last Thursday morning, and he received
very unostentatious burial on Sunday He
lacked but four months of reaching the
age OF 50. 1t is a singular fact that within
twenty-four hours of Nanderbilt's demise,
his Oldest sister Mrs. Charlotte Egbert
died at Staten Island, where she has re-
sided for the last half century. The de-
ceased lady was the Commodore's senior
by three years. In many respects Van
derbilt was the most extraordinary man of
his day and generation. He had no school
education; he was emphatically a man
who learned by contact with others, and
by the dev elopment with his own native
sagacity. which was wonderful. At the
boyish age of IS he owned two sailing
boats and was captain of third-plying
between New York and his native Staten
Island, down the bay. He married at 10
and his wife helped him ''make money!
lie rapidly rose to a controlling position
as Il steamboat king-setting up Compel
ing lines to Hartford and Albany, and to
Boston ana Philadelphia, and compelling
the existing lines to break or buy him off
He gradually extended his dominion
controlled the Nicaragua and lsthmus
route before the building OF the railway,
and owned steamers ON the Pacific side.
on the route between New Orleans and
Galveston, and on an independent line
from New York to Aspinwall Alter try
ing a hand al New \ ork and Liverpool,
he finally retired from the water, like
Alexander, after he could find no more
worlds to conquer, and with $40, 900 900
in his possession. Then lie struck the
railroads, and rapidly became the rail
road king" How much wealth he did ac-
cumulate, nobody seems to know. He had
enough, at any rate, to do what he did not
do much at-and what few rich men do
use his means to relieve the want and sut-
fering Of his fellow creatures However.
he established University al Nashville
which bears his name. At this institution
suitable honors have been paid his MEM
Dry. by Bishop McTyeire the faculty and
the students
A despatch FROM New York say that it
is estimated by those in positions to Judge
correctly that Commodore Vanderbilt was
the owner Of securities having Il present
market value OF about $50 900 900 and
that Of this total fully so ,0o0,0 600 consist
ed Of stocks and bords nf the New York
Central and Hudson River railroad 1t is
understood that the bulk of this vast prop

vision has been made for re-inveSting the
