The Lady Of Culture,

From Lcslies Illustrated Newspaper
The first clement OF trne culture
is utility. The homely uses of life are
The strong body, without which ac-
complishments have nothing to adorn
but themselves, and are thrown
away. In tho swift fluctuations of
business, and the terrible reverses
which SO often sweep away the bost
founded fortunes, none are safe. IL
is folly for any family to rear girl
in the lap of indulgence for lite of
luxury, when single wave of mis-
fortune may sweep the castle beauii-
full away and leave its inmates al the
mercy Of the pitiless elements. Eve
~ girl Should be so educated that,
should adversely throw her upon the
world, she will fall, like cat, on her
feet, ready for q run on her own ac-
count. A lady of culture is one who
can use hc. knowledge aud accom-
plishmcnts for her own support in
case of need, and does not feel that
any useful industry is demeaning.
The practical must precede and sup
port tho ornamental, and even tho or
namental should be so thoroughly in
grained that it can be made Of use In
case of need. Tho worst evils OF
modern society will not be got rid OF
till every woman is able to earn an
honest livelihood, and respects every
other womnu who earns one, Wheth-

The Rothchilds and Astors.

1t is SOMEWHAT curious that the
founders of the two families which
stand al the head OF the wealth OF Eu-
rope aud America were both Ger
mans, born within eighty miles OF
each other-the one, Itothchild, at
Franktort-or-the-Main; the other,
Asior, at Waldorf, a small village
near Heidelberg, in the Duclly OF
Baden. Twenty-Five years ago the
late Baron james de RothchiId said
to an American gentleman. still alive.
and now IN this city, that he believed
the Astor fortune to be the largest
accumulaiioljof private wealth then
known in the world. Old John ia
cob Aslor, The founder OF the fort
ilue, had then been deml SOM four
or five years--he died in lS4S-and
his son, the laie William B. Asior,
administered the astor estates.
Twenty years, however, made a
great differences III Ties relative value
of the Astor'and Rothchild fortunes.
Baron james dc Rothchild, of Paris,
at the time of his death left fortune
of two hundred million dollars,
while that Of the late William Is. As
tor, who died in November, 1875, was
estimated at much less lhanon hun
dred million dollars. While the fort
une ofihe late William B. Astor rep
resented the sum total of the Astor
wealth, that OF the late Baron James
represented but portion of the Roth
child accumulation. Other members
of the Rothchid family, among
whom the vast heritage oftwo hun
dred million dollars was divided,
were already unlisually rich. and il is
posi- Die that the present head Of the
family is richer than was Baron
James. Mr.. John Jacob Astor, the
oldest son of the late William b. As.
tor succeeded under his fathers will

which, notwithstanding tho great
shrinkagc in real estate, is rapidly in
creasirg by The sheer force OF an enor-
mours surplus annual income. Mr..
John Jacob Asior has an only son and
child, William Waldorf a stor. named
after the German village in which his
great. grandfather was born.
William Waldorf Astor, now thir-
ty one years Of age. is all excellent
business man, and takes part in the
management of the estate. Should
te live thirty years longer-nis
health is admirable and he bids fair
to attain ripe old age-hc will, from
the rise in real estate. the improve

property and the natural accumnla-
ton of the Astor capital, be in all hu-
man probability by far the richest
man in America, which position is
now occupied by Mr.. William IT.
Vanderbilt. This future millionaire
may be styled the coming Astor; he
married during the past year n Young
Indy of singular beauty aud high in
tellectuai aitainmenis from Philadel-
phia. The founder of the Rothclild
family had sixteen years the start of
John Jacob Astor in the race for
wealth. About 1879, when Meyer
