CLARK.
Oath. on the Sewing. Machine Million

edward Clark died last week worth
500, OOO. 0O0-some say inore-and mere
ceived just twenty lines average notice
from the newspapers. Such IS the scale
measure per million now; a newspaper
line. Publicity has its exchange value,
and he who expects itnlust be something
above his million. Here is Herbert
Spencer, sick, and the beneficiary OF al
American subscription to make his days
easy, gratitied by columns of attention
while the greatest capitalists IN the sew
ins machine industry, though he invest
ed nothing, passed into eternity with 9
"da-da.n Old Singer, vagrant, inconti-
nent, with no more care for marriage
rite or posterity than the birds from
whom he drew his name, died o neWsy
singularity compared to the person who
left three times his fortune. Mr.. Clark
had q Turkish bath at his CooperstoWn
residence which is said to have cost tens
Of thousands of dollars. He was attract
cd there by his wi g, the daughter OF
Ambio Jordan, whose childhood was
spent near Fenimore Cooper and in
whose sight young Clark studied law
under her fathers roof. They married
and when Clark had built her, in subse-
quent years, d beautiful home and
bridged the young Susquehanna Tor her.
flowing through her park, she walked
across the bridge evening and took
her seat in the fieldly lawn, and there
she seemed to stay very long, till they
sent for her and found her stone dead.
Her monument is by Cooper's-a splen-
did work-and there q fortune twice
greater than Girard's will be laid down
with a few lives, as if to say: "'Twas
mine, IT'S his, and has been a slave to
thousands"

Value Of New York Bank Stock.

One Of the best tests Of the financial
condition of the metropolis is the value
Of bank shares, some Of which may be
given as follows: The North river has
advanced from par to ia, and the Park.
which was also down to par, is now l58.
The phoanix has risen from 93 to l0I.
The bank of New York which is the.
Oldest In the city, stands 145. The inn
pofter's and Traders is quoted at .l5o,
the CITY is 2s1, while the Chemical has
reached the dizzy height of 1,o52. The
latter presents the most remarkable eX-
pansion In the records Of finance. Its
capital is only $751; Oo 900, being divided
into 5000 shares of 500 each. AT the
present quotations this capital is worth
& ,65s,09 This, [ repeat, is unequeltd
in the history Of banking. --F
The Chemical Is the great note buyer
Of the metropolis. Having a surplus of
nearly double that amount it is ready to
discount or purchase all the good paper
that can be offered Atany time from
IL O'Clock to 2 o'clock you can see the
note brokers rushing into the cashiers
rooms TO display their array Of names,
over which he rapidly g%lances and
checks off all that meet his approval.
Business Is done rapidly, and a transac-
tlon ofS250,0 900 may be finished III fifteen
minutes. Year alter year the Chemical
has been buying paper, and its former
president John @. Jones) could call off
the gil,-edged names as readily as he
could repeat the alphabet. He knew ali
the first class men lii the city, and they
were always under & close surveillance
which insured the bank against loss. As
5000 as any mans paper was offered too
freely suspicion was at once aroused,
aud purchases were stopped. The4ques-
ton always before him was how much
paper tile gi!t-etgtd houses were issuing
and this could easily be learned by the
offerings made by the brokers. Hence
the Chemical made but few losses,
though its purchases were estimated at
$4,000, coo a year. Out Of town banks
frequently invest their funds in the same
manner, the Farmers and Mechanics
bank of Albany, being the oldest and
most e stensiye of this class. There are
a hall dozen first class note brokers who
clear from 5000 to $4,000 per year, and
a score of smaller mel could be mel
toned who make o living at the bust

As WE understand the debate now going
ON in the Senate, Mr.. Hale is willing that
the Republican campaign methods should
he investigated, provided Democratic meth.
ods are investigated, too. Mr.. Beck de.
clares that there is nothing in Democratic
methods to investigate, and therefore he
doesn't want them investigated. If Demo-
cratic methods are as pure as Mr. Beck
represents them to be, the investigation
proposed by Mr.. Hale would be the best
thing that could happen to the Democratic
party just now. We cannot comprehend
Mr.. Beck's reluctance. 1t is not shrewd
party policy--not even from the stand
point of his own assumption.

THE Shipping Commission seems to bc
nibblingat the edges of the subject it has
in hand. A disposition is manifest to abate
few minor evils which Mt the worst are
nothing but annoyances, leaving the core
of the matter untouched. The fact that
Great Britain can afford to pay bigger
subsidy to keep American ships off the
ocean than our Government can afford to
pay to put them on will probably deter
mine the question this time as it always
has done. The agitation of the subject is
a source of profit to the agents and lobby

For that reason it will doubtless continue
