A Good Old Banker Dead.

Mr.. John Q Jones, long President Of
the Chemical Bank-one of the most
successful of our banking institutions
died suddenly at his city residence last
week. He had accumulated large wealth
for himself and the small party of stock
holders and directors OF the bank which
he managed, and the shares of which
now stand worth on the books nearer
four than five millions of dollars, on an
original capital, not Vet increased in
the capital form, of 100000. As an
evidence of his character for probitv, as
well as financial skill, it may be men,
toned that his bank for many years past
has been intrusted with from Sc, 200, 200
toSl0,O0O,O 600 depositors, free of interest,
entire safety being preferred to promises
of 3 to , per cent. interest on current
balances in other quarters. Mr.. Jones
died bachelor, and of family of four
brothers and sisters, only bachelor
brother, Mr.. Joshua Jones, is now left,
the deaths of his sisters having preced-
ed the decease of Mr.. John q. Jones, in
1874 and 1876. Tie family estate, al
together, is one OF the oldest and
wealthiest in this city. Mr.. Jones and
his sisters divided their residence be-
tween New Brighton, Staten Island,
and Fifth Avenue. They lived in quiet
and transformations way and were warm
iy esteemed in both neighborhoods.
Their acts of Christian duty and private
charity were both prompt and generous,
and were rendered without parade of
their good works.

waited. wonderingly, rs he hurried after
me, putting and blowing. for he had
hailed me from considerable distance
and with such yigor of lungs as to ar
rest the attention of all the passers-by
The Squire was by far the oldest man in
all that section. He had shot deer and
bears and had fought the Indians there
for so many years before civilization ar
rived that, in point of age, the State
might be considered a sort of grand
child of the venerable frontiersman.
During his long life he had never
known any thing other than his rough
way of living. Hewas ingrained there
with as an aged oak would be with its

could not. The Squire took OFF his
dilapidated old hat, which looked as if
he had worn il through half century
of storms, in order TO look upon me
with the more triumph. Except ring
of long white hair, his head was bald
and far from clean; his bronzed cheeks
were stubby with coarse beard; the
corners of his mouth were yellow with
the oeze of his tobacco; and, although
he was broad shouldered enough and
not without an aspect of sturdiness,
there was an aroma of bad whisky about
him which was in keeping with his APP
pearance as being an extremely old and
particularly disagreeable person, an i'm
preston which was not improved by the
oaths which were as natural TO him rs
his breathing.
Al am y year old. And now guess"

the traces of it on chin or bosom. The
only relic of the habitual profanity was
an occasional .'GOod gracious, Gran
ny!" from his lips, when astonished.
Few things were more delightful to us
than to accept an invitation for a day
at their farm, which was order and neat
ness itself. There was sickness in the
COW, a propriety in the conduct of the
Muscovy ducks, decorum in the yery
pigs, telling of the hand of their mis-.
tress. But the glory of the place was in
the transformation she had wrought in
the old Squire. He was as scrupulous-
ly neat and clean now as herself. When
| add that he was Darby in perfect
keeping with his Joan, what more can
be said?
And not merely was Mrs. Surge as
simple and wholesome rs oatmeal. She
rose Instantly to any emergency. 1t was
during the days of the Confederacy, land
she was said to have closed discussion
with the wife of high official, politics
being the topic, by boxing the ears of
that respectable lady very soundly. Be-
fore her marriage, she had entertained,
at my request, very eloquent minister,
on visit to us, and who professed to be
of our denomination and from Scotland,
He was ascertained, however, to be an
impostor, and disappeared. And now he
returned again, under the wing, this time,
of certain Bishop, whose Church he
had joined. With that individual he
called on the old lady ut her farm, ex-
pecting to be entertained, as usual. But
she saw the wolf through all his
woody fleece, and literally ran him and
the astonished prelate off her place,
with a tongue which she would have re-
inforced with broom-stick had it been
necessary. An intimate friend of hers,
a lawyer of distinction, had entered into
an arrangement by which, in return, it
was said, for the transfer to him of her
property, he was to pay her an annuity
for life. But, as the years rolled away,
it was evident that the annuity would
consume the property over and over
again-the old couple were growing
younger every day-and the lawyer
cancelled, with her consent, the contract
in despair. 1t is impossible to say hov
old her husband was when she led him
at last into the communion of the
Church, TO live and die therein, re-
spected of all, AS fine specimen of a
Christian patriarch as | ever knew.
Some people pay enormous prices for
a rare old painting; it may be for an
antique in coin or pottery. confess to
a passion, instead, for this old couple.
She is alive to-day, and is, am told, as
bright and fresh, as original, indie
pendent, energetic, and young as ever

clean; the Redeemed fireplace so bright

green's; the rag carpet and oval mats,
woven OF many-colored strips, SO
smooth, as was the case in her house.
/ The door of the corner cupboard in the
parlor was aiar, so that You could see
| how much silver there remained over
and above that used upon the table.
And what a dinner it was! So great
was the variety, every thing was cooked
so much better than anywhere else. She
was so importunate in her hospitality
that the choice was a hard one to make
between an illness from having already
INDUCED too freely and the risk of Of
tending her by decling to eat any more.
But the best of the feast TO me were the
Scotch words, which | had never before
met with outside of Scott and Burns
words treasured by her during all
these years, like old coins, more care
fully than were her teaspoons and the
fashions of her caps and frills.
My pleasantest surprise was the night
of her marriage. She was about the
same as ever, for it was out of the gues-
ton for her to be neater than she always
was; but could hardly believe my eyes
when the old Squire stood up beside
her. 1t was plain that she had got him
ready for the ceremony herself. You
could not have wished to have seen a
more decent, even venerable man. He
was clearly shaven, for the first time in
20 years, and stood, with his flowing
white hair, erect, triumphant in his char
acter of somewhat suddenly made
"John Anderson, my Joe, John"
Immediately after the marriage they
went on bridal tour to Scotland, the
bride promising to bring back, if she
ever came back, Highland plaid for
my little boy. She excused herself, on
her return, so much sooner than was
expected, for not doing so on the plea
that she had left Scotland suddenly.
'Ye may say so," her husband said,
significantly. at was in hurry, sure
enough"

lady interrupted and with Indignation
