Bob InSersOll at WellingtOns
Tomb.

The followingis too good to be lost. Bob
Ingersoll WAS in London and while do
ing st. Paul's Cathedral his guide piloted
him into the crypt to the impos-
ing sarcophagus of the Duke
of Wellington. The garrulous
cockney described with great emphasis
the ponderous maaonry of the founda-
ton, the immense block Ofgranits scoop
ed out for the remains, the heavy "hiron
coffin in hoax box banded with hiron
bands-for they called him the Hiron
Duke, you know" and finally the hoist
ing of tho massive granite slab
that was dowelled and cemented on top
of the sarcophagus. Ingersoll, who,
with a number of Englishmen, had lis
tened quietly to the statistics OF the
tons OF stone and iron bands, suddenly
clapped the sedate guide on the shout
der, and exclaimed: "By Jove! you've
got him. Ii he ever gets out, just tele-

Who Are the Ones that Get Rich


1t is not true that the. great victories
Of life are to the sharp and immoral
man, as a rule. Here and there, by
sharpness and cunning, men rise into
wealth, bat wealth not OF a kind to
remain, 1t takes certain amount OF
virtue, of self-denial, of morality, to lay
up and to keep money. In the lives Of
nearly all rich men there have been
periods of heroic self-denial, of patient
industry, of Christian prudence. Cir
cumstances did not make these men
rich. The highest moral prudence made
them rich. While their companions
were dancing away their youth, or drink
ing away their middle age, these men
were devoted to small economies-put-
ting self-indulgence entirely aside. II
our correspondent or our readers will
recall their companions, We think the
first fact they will be impressed with is
the measure of equality with which they
started in the race for competence or
wealth. The next fact they will be i'm
pressed with us the irregularity OF the
end. Then, ii they make an inquisition
into the causes OF the widely varying re-
suits, they will be profoundly impressed
with the insignificant part "circum-
stances" have played in those results.
Circumstances? Why, the rich mans
son who had all the circumstances" OF
the town has become a beggar. The
poor, quiet lad, the only son of his
mother, and she widow, who could
only earn money enough to procure for
her boy the commonest education, is a
man OF wealth and has become a patron
of his native village. The man whopOs-
sesses and practices virtue makes his
own circumstances. The self-denying,
prudent man creates around himself an
atmosphere of safety where wealth
naturally takes refuge-prOvidcd, of
course, that the man has the power to
earn it either in production, or exchange,
or any kind of manual or intellectual
service & rjbUSr

THE ESTATE.

Mrs. Stewart, on the death OF her hus-
band, found herself incumbered with a
vast and unwieldy estate, which, indeed,
could only prove crushing burden.
1t included two grand warehouses, the
woman's hotel, three churches, and 9TH
er city property to the aggregate number
of l26. To this was to be added the no.
tel at Saratoga, and the interest in the
stock in trade, the factories, store in
Foston and Philadelphia, bank stock,
and the grand palace. AS Judge Hilton
was by will entitled to million in cash,
the widow, by way OF exchange, gave
him ten times that value in other pro-
perry. The bequest was the largest ever
made on this continent rs an act OF
friendship, and by the exchange above
mentioned, Hilton became one Of the
richest men in the city. Never has any
man been so richly rewarded for codd-
ling an old capitalist.

PERSONAL APPEARANCE.

Stewart was the greatest merchant
the world ever saw, and he made agreat-
ar fortune than ever before was created
by trade. He left a larger property than
old John Jacob Astor, and was by lar
the greatest organizer Of his day. III
there be any interest concerning the
personal appearance Of such Il man,
must say that the latter by no means
corresponded with his real character
He was plain in dress and general ap-
pearancc. In stature he was five feet
ten, and in early days, being thin, look
ed tall, but of late wears an increase OF
flesh and slight stoop changed this as
meet. He was of blonde features, with
a mild blue eye and auburn hair, almost
red. No stranger would have taken
him for a great merchant, but he might
readily have passed for ply
stefan or clergyman. lie seldom
spoke above a low tone. ana
when making his daily tour
though the warehouse, his orders were
in a still. small voice, which was unno-
ticed by the crowd. His visits to each
DEPARTMENT were brief, but he compre-
bended all things at II glance. At one
place he might say, "What. those goods
not sold, and prices down one quarter
At another, Those things are out OF
STYLE and must 90 ut auction His
criticisms were sharp. and indicated an
observingeye. Some of these young
men are not neat enough in their dress.
