NEW YORK LETTER.
New York, April Is, 1882.

Spring, spring, gentle spring has
come in eae nest. The weather is clear
bright and beautiful and the air is ex-
hileratiny.
The principal sensation of the week
was the tragic death of Cornalius j.
Vanderbilt, the only brother of the
great railroad king, which occurred hy
suicide at his hotel on Sunday evening.
Mr. Vanderbilt had long zen IA suffer
er from epilepsy and the disea~e had
affected his mind. He was well known
to many New Workers and the bitter
contest he waged over the will of his
father, which gave him only the inter-
est af $500, 900 made him a still more
conspicuous person. He left his faith
ers house at the age of Is and there
after led an Irregular life. His mauia
was gambling at which he lost large
sums Of money and the night before he
took his life he spent at cards and was
unsuccessful. In the settlement of the
will case he received about Ii million
dollars and since then had Travelled ex-
tenslvely and lived lavishly. His early
escapades kept him in trouble and
from the time he came into his for
tune he was harasscd by many law suits
At the time Of his death he was On
good terms with his family, but inor-
dinately jealous Of his brother. He
left a considerable fortune which he
distributed among ~favorite neices ard
personal friends, leaving the most of
it to Geo. n. Terry who befrieDded
him when he was an outcast from home
and bankrupt. 1t is estimated that
Mr.. n. Terry will receive about $780,
600. And speaking of estates how the
wealth of most men seem to diminish
after death. Judge Lathrop, who had
been prominent in judicial and busi-
ness circles for many years died on
March A, supposed to be worth moro
than n million dollars. His annual
income was $50, 600 but he spent nearly
the whole of that amount in generous
living and the other day when his eff
fects were inventorid it was found that
he had left not more than 500, 900.
Defalcations, ~forgeries and emblzzle-
ments multiply. Another Newark,

yesterday, charged with raising a war
rant from S165, 40 TO 81, 1875, Al and of
forging the name of the person for
whom the warrant was drawn to the
document. And it has leaked out that
the reason the coupon clerk of the
Bank of North america resigns d his
position was because he was short in
his accounts some 1900. He is AN

The President has ended the cabinet
question fy nominating Senator Teller
for the interior and William Z. Chan
dler for the navy department. Both
are experienced, able men and will fill
the positions to which they are called
with dignity and honor. Out of these
nominations will come other moves on
the political ehess-board. Colorado
will be under the necessity of supplying
Senator Te'er's place and probably MI.
Cha ZEE viii take his place. Mr.. Chan
der was an .aspiIant fer the United

An Adventure.
Newport Sentinel.

That genial commercial tourist, F. w.
Hamilton, had quite an adventure two
weeks ago. He left Sevierville April 26th,
at l:30 p. M, for Fair Garden. He was
travelling in a two-horse hack, driven by
Rufus Fletcher They missed their road a
few miles this side of Sevierville, and in at
tempting to cross East Fork of Little Pigeon
got into an old washed out ford where the
water was about twelve feet deep
from bank to bank, and the
horses swan across where the
stream was $50 feet wide. The trunks
filled with samples washed out of the wagon,
but were recovered by fishing them out
with pole after the crossing had been
made. The driver deserves credit for his
GOODNESS, which mainly prevented disaster
They reached Newport at noon the follow
ing day where the samples were taken out
at the Minis House and in the sun, while
the drummer spent the evening fishing

POwell's Valley Seminary in Ashes.

WELLsPRING, Tenn, May 10.
Mr.. EDIT R: A little less than
two years ago the citizens of Well
spring and surrounding vicinity,
who were friends to the cause of
Christ and of education, with their
own muscle and what means they
could command, erected a church
and school building combined, at
cost of $1,7O0, which was an orna-
ment and blessing to them. They
enjoyed its benefits for almost two
terms, with Prof. w. A. Wright as
principal. who has given great salts
faction as such. We were beginning
to feel encouraged with the hope
that our youth could soon compare
favorably, in point of literary attain
ments, with those of other sections
who have enjoyed these advantages
longer. But alas, our fondest hopes,
on Monday, May 1st, seemed about
to be blighted The fire originated
from fue in the attic about 1
o'clock p. m., and despite the efforts of
students and Deighbors, burned to
ashes, while teacher and pupils were
IN tears on account of the loss of
their beloved seminary.
The school was suspended for one
day, but, upon consultation, it was
determined to finish the remaining
two and half weeks in the brick
school near by. The term will close
on Wednesday, May 18th, when an
interesting time is expected. Eleven
young men deliver orations, and at
2 o'clock we have a lecture by Rev.
L, B. Caldwell, of Athens.
On the day after the fire the
trustees had meeting and deter
mined to rebuild. Subscription lists
were drawn up and at once sent out.
The writer visited Knoxville on bust
ness, and the thought occurred that
the good people OF that city might
render us some aid In response to
the request, they gave the handsome
sum OF S14S.50. And here let me,
in behalf of the community, return
our sincere thanks to those liberal
gentlemen, and assure them that we
shall ever regard them as friends in
