From an Interview by 'Gatl.'
WHO has been the most successful opcr-
ator during the year?''
civilian Vanderbilt, D. O. Mills and
Jim Keene. Vanderbilt has; got more mon
ey than nll these men together. Io'1 see Very
wild stories printed about the resources of
the large opentors. tell yon that Van
derbilts pile is bigger than the whole Of
them together Next to him probably comes
Russel Sage, who has more money than
Jay Gould. Sage has saved Gould once or
twice. Two years Gould Was practically
broke and had to surrender his Union Pa
ciic stock to make settlement. He had
been bearing Northwestern and on the COM
promise had to give up Union Pacific, for
which he had paid par, or nearly SO, at six
ty-tive cents on the dollar. That is why he
is ont of Union Pacific. Vanderbilt, Mills
and the rest are buying it up
What do You consider Jim Keene to be
worth with all his success?"
"Scven million dollars at the outside. 1t
is more nearly apt to be somewhere between
three millions and five millions. If he las
got -, O00, 900 the best judges here are de-
ceived. Russell Sage has gotabout 81, 900,
700. Mills is rich man and a prudent one.
He told me in recent conversation that he
was out Of the street and was going into
real estate He has bought all this proper
ty along Broad street and is about to put
up an Immense office building, and he has
bought lots on both sides of the city oppo
site the park. Vanderbilt has also been q
large buyer of real estate. infer from the
general outlook, from the necessity OF
something to speculate in, and from the
operations of men like these, that we are
nov to have big movement in real estate,
first in New York and then in other cities
of the country, till it resembles the real es
tate operations up to 1872.

Death OF Henry W:ttsW'rth LnnsfelloW at
His Cambridge Home, after Six Days Ill

Henry ". Longfe!low, the bsst known and
best loved poet OF America, died at bis home
in Cambridge, Mass, last Friday Afternoon
urday previous. On that day he spent half an
hour in gentle exercise on his piazza, and he
coming chilly, he went in to sit by the fire; but
tho blood of age was too slow to shake Off the
effects of the cold. That same evening at the
lot:table no complained Of having taken
his family physicians Drs. Wyman and Minot,
wore called. During the night he grew worse,
and was attacked with intestinal pains, vomit-
ing and fever. Acute peritonitis had set in, but
tho pain WAS partially subdued by opiates, and
he secnred some sleep. Ga Monday, Tuesday
Thursday his distress was less acute Most Of
tho time he was in dull stupor, from which he
rallied now and then to speak kindly words to
those about his bed. He bore his sufferings
throughout with gentle patience, and his Chief
care seemed to be to relieve from care those
who attended him, His five chill

quiet during the night, but to his doctors ex-

He soon rolapsed into unconscionsness, from
which he reused at longer and longer intervals.
Daring the forenoon the physicians detected
the ominous sound Of the death
rattle, and summoned the family to the
bed. side. About 2 O'Clock he began to sink
rapidly, ana finally; about one hour LATER with
family, without a struggle or pain. he peace
fully passed away. His age was rs years. The
London Times says Of Longfellow: 'sThe

Andre have been credited with honesty be-
cause they refused to be bought. The
New York Euenin0 Post, however, pub
fishes some letters which were sent to it by
a correspondent who says they have never
been printed before from which it would
seem that the reason why the bride was not
accepted was that it was not offered in
ready cash, and that by SO doing a service
to the American cause the trio of semi out-
laws hoped to be forgiven for some of their
known misdeeds as well as to be rewarded
for the capture, both of which things hap
pened to them. The three letters are from
Major Tallmadge, who was the officer in
charge of Andre during his Imprisonment
and at the time of his execution; Gen.
Joshua King of Ridgedeld, Conn.,, who was
in charge of the. detachment which con-
Quoted Andre to Washington's headquar-
ters; and A. J. Hammond, who wrote to
Capt. Bowman as follows: Il do know
that they were horse and COW stealers, and

could have obtained their pardon; that had
they all three been hanged with Andre
they would have had their just deserts. :"

MINNEAPOLIS, according to a statement
In the Tribune of that city, has four-hun-
dred and fifty eases of typhoid fever. There
seemed to be no obvious cause for 80 much
sickness OF that character, and many Spec
ulanons were offered upon the subject.
One alleged cause exists in the fact that
the sewerage or drainage of the fiat site of
tho city is very defective, and that the wa.
ter system does not reach tho newer parts
OF the city, necessltating the use of water
from wells and cisterns. The objections of
typhoid fever patients find their way bv
percolation through the soil at a distance at
times of even 200 feet from vaults, sewers
and various other receptacles to cisterns.

houses and communities with drink. It il
generally conceded to be true that human
beings who do not drink or in any way con-
sumo human excrement seldom suffer from
typhoid fever.

EDWIN d. MORGAN. ex-governor of
New YORK, a far sighted and able business
man, thinks property will be worth this
year AZ much as in 1881, though money is
little tighter. In regard to national af-
fairs he says, We are collecting too much
Tor internal taxes and for duties on imports.
AS an American citizen, it is pleasant to
see the debt diminish hundred millions a
year, or more; but it is bad policy. The
country is uneasy on account of the large
amount OF coin held by the government.
and plans are constantly being put forward
to get the money out of the United States
treasury which are sometimes doubtful. It
would be far better that the money should
not go into the treasury, and this can only
be done by reducing the duties on imports.
and by largely diminishing, if not doing
away altogether with, the internal revenue.

number of years, so that the people of the
south, who are chiefly instrumental in cans

have to help us payit.
