Peter Cooper died yesterday in his
93d year, in New York City. He was
one OF the finest and best specimens OF
the self-made men Of our country. He
grew up under difficulties, but by force
OF his practical genius overcame them
all, and when he became rich much OF
his time was spent in devising and per-
fectinr schemes of beneyoience, chiefly
Of the educational kind, to offer poor
youths opportunities, such as he had
never enjoyed, OF acquiring useful in-
formation. A conspicuous memorial OF
his goodness in this way is the Cooper
Institute, covering a whole block in New
York City, and equipped entirely by
himself. at a cost of over 5000, 600. Mr..
Cooper's name is prominent among, and
ipseparable from, the great industries OF
the nation for many years back. Ten or
twelve years ago he was the most eminent
man i'll the Uniad States in the business
OF telegraphy, being Superintendent, or
Director, OF pretty hluch all the eAIeh-
sive lines then constructed. Earlier in
life he was a prominent figure in the
manufacturing Interests Of the country,
The great iron works at Trenton, N. j.,
were founded by him. Mr.. Cooper built
in Baltimore, after his own designs, the
first locomotive engine that was turned
out on this continent, and it was operated
successfully on the Baltimore x ONO
Railroad, thus identifying his name with
the early history of railroads. Altogether,
he was a fine type OF the best people OF
the United States, practical, earnest,
laborious, inventive, progressive, intel
lectual and good. His is a name that
need not be carved in bronze. 1t will
live forever in the hearts Of his country
