NEW IL, 1867,
The week has been Aarcll-like
throughout and to-day it is cold and
clear. business Is waking up ana in a
few days will begin to boom. The
steamship mel and owners OF sailing
vessels dealing Between This and Eur
opean ports, are the only ones who
complain of hard times. Freights
we've neeer 50 low. Grain is higher
here than OH the other side and of
course no one will buy it to send there
for sale. Coming this way passenger
steamers have all they can do in the
immigrant line aud manage to pay ex-
penses; but many a staunch ship. use
full only tor freighting lies idly at her
dock awaiting Il revival of trade.
On change the bulls are hard at
work pulling up the prices of stocks
aud the bears arc just as active irving

are backed by Vanderbilt and his mil
lions and IF COURSE that is colossal sup

just paid S400, 900 for some lots near
his new palace on which he will build
W mansions for his youngest dangh,

who since the happy event has abs ndon

er-in-law. W. ii. Vanderbilt is a good
father. He keeps his son with him in
his railroad enterprises and puts his
daughters husbands in positions
where they can be Made usesul and
get rich. Vanderbilt is the one man
who Il fling around his millions with
reckless prodigality in costly palaces,
rare old paintings, priceless gems and
gorgeous entertainments to his select
circle of friends and yet have his mil
lions left. With other millionairs it is
different. They are generally on the
edge, affected by the caprices
of the market and may be worth an
fortune to-day and hardly a
round million tomorrow. To tell the
truth the most of them live in regal
but Trey are not half as happy
as a mai with a modest competence
invested whose wants are few
and simple. Vast fortunes have their
attractions on diaper, but generally pro
gilded misery behind the curtain.
And yet, notwil listanding this, most
Of us would like TO try it for a while to
see how we should like it.
Another domestic scandal has beeu
