HIS ADvFNTUROTs SPIRIT.

In October. 1850. Commodore Vanderbilt sent

terrstiuc "reminiscences of the COmmOdOrc's energy

the party as the engineer in chief. and was known aN
a daring explorer, but even he was hlied
with apprehension half his time by the
bold expcdients which the Commodore put
into practice little steamer had been toWcd all
the way from New-York to the Nicaragua River, by
fbe Commodore. for The use OF the surveyors, ana
upon it they attempted the navigation OF tie river
% far as Lake Nicaragua There were bars and
rocks and rapids in the way in great numbers, ana
il was determined 10 lay ont side canals to
get around these, hut on The first trip the
Commodore insisted upon jumping" all
the obstacles. and tied down the escape
valve. put on all steam. and compelled
the little steamer to scrape and struggle over the
Instructions into clear water again. AT Grenada,
he wanted one morning to 60 to kiyas, about 90
miles distant across the lake, and embarked Tor the
p,irpose on frail sailing boat, hardly capable "i

the boat pretty well filed with water most OF
the time. when, upon his companions urgent so
licitation he made for land again. reaching it safely
after good deal of trouble. The Commodore was
never satisfied, however, that he could not have
made the trp and was full of abuse of his cOInpan
ion for compelling him to put back. The evenings
in coup were generally devoted 10 hearing the Com
modore tell of his early ife upon which he dwelt
with more zest than upon the prosicrcidens Of the
days since he had secured wealth.

RECEPTION OF THE NEWS IN TIE CITY.
The repeated false reports OF the death OF Mr.

Of influencing the price Of certain stocks, LED the

event Yesterday. as it tTue' Do you positively

nearly every one on the street aud although the
report was quickly confirmed, it was Is considerable
time before the sAepical weie ready to accept
If as an absolute fact. The newspaper extras which
at first found ready sale neglected as soon rs
il became known positively that the announcement
was true. During the afternoon grea'
many kilograms were received from out
of-town operators by their friends and
brokers on the street asking for coHiiEna-
ton Of the Ieror that had reached them. The effect
Of the news had been fully anticipated on the Stock
Exchange. as was evident when Ncw-York Central
stock, instead Of declining advanced from lOOos to
1OO@l thcn lG07s, closing at 1O1ls, with 1Ol bid.
Orher stocks in which Mr. Vanderbilt was inter
cstcd remained firm, and general feeling Of relief
WAS manifest when il became apparent that the
market was not to be seriously affected by the
event at least for the day.
Few indications of the occurrence of an event OF
moment were visible at the Grand Genital Depot.
Flags were displayed at half-lnast, but no marked
expression of mourning was allowed. Orders were
sent to the Grand Central Depot and also along the
line tha. each station should show simple token
of sorrow. hut that neither locomotives cars. nor
sfation-houses shOuld be draped in Grape, as the
relatives wished everything to be as free from
demonstration as possible At the freight depos in

TIE WILL.

Those best acquainted with the condition OF the
Commodore's affairs have been impressed by tie
scrupulouS care with which he always kept them IN
q shame suitably prepared for ms death. Unlike
most men of n methodca turn of mind and possessed
of slfearned fortunes, he never stunned thought
of the possibility of a sudden decease, and although
compelled by the constant growth Of ms wealth ana
by the manner in which he invested it to frame
new wills at short intervals. he always performed
the dutv with cheerful readiness taking the utmost
pains to render the testaments plain and explicit
and above all legal quibb,cs. 1t always his in
tcnfion 10 Keep hIS affairs arranged in such way
that his death should have effect upon tie rall-
roads with which lie was Connected and that they
should pas. quietly into the han ds of hs immediate
heirs, and still be the Vanderbilt roads as they
had always been.
When five months ago. Commodore Vanderbilt
first became satisfied that his bed of pain was to be
n death-bcd he immediately set about making his
pr.paratloms with the utmost COoneSs and precision.
Day after dav he consulted with his lawyers, sign
ing his name where it was need d. and exhibiting
marvellous cleaYness Of mind. shrewdneSs and fore
sight when engaged upon tangled questions. ne"
and final last will and testament was drawn up and
attested the contents Of which are rot yet made
public bat which, it is understood, is one OF the
most perfect instruments Of the kind ever made.
One of Commodore Nandcrbit's lawyers expressed
the confident opinion that publicity would prove the
Comnodore'S atrjirs to be in the most admirable
condition. He was not conveTsant with the whole
of them. but lie felt certain that the system which
had ruled those with which ne was acquainted was
carried out through them all.

the country. He determined to take his family to
Europe in his own carriage, and that carriage WAS
the finest steamship in the world. The North star
was built under his eye, and was perfect IN all
details. Ii was 260 feet long and had 3S feet
breadth of beam. Ii the first steamer fitted
with beam engine that ever crossed the Atlantic.
He set sail with his family in 1883 and with

to the many glowing accounts of the sunny South,
or the MILD climate of the North, and thus be in
duced TO try your fortunes there, you will find the
reality is not all your fancy painted 1t. If you go
South it usually takes about two years to get ac-
climated to the climate, during which time, not
being able to work, yourself and family aSe con-
sumers, besides being constantly exposed to the
malarial fevers which abound there, and the ex-
perience Of many is that they return discouraged,
leaving not a few loved ones beneath the sod in
the sunny South. Therefore, in going West keep
oil about the same latitude which will insure

Astonishing Success.

1t is the duty of every person who
has used BoscHEE's GERMAN SYRUP to
let its wonderful qualities be known to
their friends in curing Consumption,
severe Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneu-
monia, and in fact all throat and lung
diseases. No person can use it without
immediate relief. Three doses will re-
lieve any case, and we consider it the
duty of all Druggists to recommend it
to the poor dying consumptive, at least
to try one bottle, as 40, 200 dozen bot
ties we're sold last year, and no one
case where it failed was reported. Such
a medicine as the GERMAN SYRUP can
not be too widely known. Ask your
Druggist about it. Sample bottles to
