Two Enormously Wealthy Fam.

Comparatively few people are acquain-
ted with the Wilson fanny in New York,
and the public never hears of it, though
it had been dragged into more or less
eminence lately by the fact that the
heiress to the Astor millions is to mar
ry the eldest son Of the Wilson's. The
engagement of Orme Wilson to Miss
Carrie Aston was not surprise to peo-
pie who are acquainted with the family
1t was exactly what everybody had ex-
pected tie occur. The Wilson place is
next to the Astor's summer residence
at Newport, and from the time Miss
Caroline Astor was IL years old her
playmate was young Master Wilson.
When they became of age they were en-
gagged, as matter of course. Miss AS
tor is neither brilliant nor beautiful.
She is quiet, has domestic tastes,
and cares little for society. It is said
that $50, 900 year will be settled on
the bride by her family, and like
amount will go to the groom from his
family. This will give the pair an in
come of 100000 year. Possibly
enough to buy the necessaries of life.
The extraordinary thing about the
Wilson family to my mind is the man
ner in which they conceal the fact that
they are people of immense wealth.
No one ever thinks of ranking them
with the great wealthy families of the
metropolis, and yet they are million
aires many times over. They are very
exclusive. not at all prominent in socie-
ty, and their name seldom gets into the
papers. A friend of mine who was look
ing for an eligible building site for the
erection of a large structure up town
told me that he was perfectly amazed
at the amount of property the Wilson's
held. All over the city, and in the
most valuable portions, he ran across
big lots of land which belonged to the
Wilson estate. What an enormously
wealthy family the Astors will be in
the course of fifty years? Their pro-
pertv now is estimated at something
over $3.50, 100000. The only son and
all three of the daughters have married
into families of extraordinary wealth.
They all know how to hold on to it,
too

In 1877 Thomas Colt, then twelve years old,
was taken to Bellevue Hospital, suffering from
q disease which had destroyed his nose and
lips and had begun to effect his eyes He was
taken in charge by DR.. Gustavus Sabine, and
since that time has been under treatment with
view to replacing the lost parts of the face.
After the course of the disease had been
checked, the process of building up was be-
gun by cutting away the flesh about the
edges Of the orifce, where the nose had
been. Then the inside of the large finger
the right hand was fsyed, and the fresh cut
wound was fitted where the nose should be.
The hand was held in place by bandages and
plaster of paris until the finger had grown
fast to the forehead and cheeks of the patient.
In the meantime the mouth was covered by
the hand, and silver tube was inserted into
the lads throat through which he was fed and
through which he also breathed.
When the grating Of the finger to the face
was completed, and the circulation established
the finger was amputated near the knuckle,
leaving two-and-a-half JOINTS attached to
the face. The operations so far had re-
quired about year, but the process was
only begun. The next step was to trim down
the finger into the shape Of nose by remov-
ing the bone and gradually building up the
flesh ON each side and drawing the skin from
the cheeks and forehead over it. In course of
time the result sought was obtained, except
The eyes of the unfortunate boy had both
been drawn out of position somewhat, and
these were Strengthened by clipping nerves in
the manner usually adopted BY oculists in
treating cross-eyed people. The eyebrows
were also patched up at the inner ends.
The next step was to give the boy a new pair
of lips This was done gradually by taking
pieces of flesh from the cheeks and grating
them in place bit by bit
Yesterday after thirteen years Of experience
under q surgeons knife, having meantime
undergone and recovered from thirty different
operations, the patient now young man, left
the hospital His face was smooth, and to the
casual observer bore no traces of what he had
passed through. The case is extraordinary
for the extent of the work done and the per-
feet result obtained Not less extraordinary
was the fortitude of the patient, who never
murmered under the necessarily painful oper-
atoms, and who, when walking the floor be-
cause of his suffering, was wont to cheer up
the other patients in the ward by telling droll
stoies, of which he had large supply. He
was known in the hospital as "Patient Tom

Comment on Ohio Elsctton.

These extracts are from papers issued be-
fore the true returns were received cutting
down the republican majority more than one
half:
New York Herald: The net result of the
most desperate canvass ever made by the re-
pubheans can SCARCELY raise their hopes of q
favorable result i'll November. The democrats
have no reason to be discouraged at the result
of yesterday, but on the contrary The Blaine
men have spent their strength in a blow which
hurts them far more than it does their antag
onists
New York Times: After a canvass altogeth-
er unprecedented in the history of American
politics, a canvass which has placed the full
strength of their case before every voter in the
state, and left no appeal unused, no enticement
untried, the Republicans have carried Ohio by a
majority 5000 less than that given to the Re-
publican ticket in the October election OF 1880
If the supporters of Mr.. Blaine can derive any
comfort from this result, they are welcome to
1t As for those whose sympathies in this
great contest are with Mr.. Blaine's opponent,
they will see little cause for discouragement.
Ohio was but an outpost which the enemy have
carried at a fearful cost They have well nigh
exhausted themselves before the beginning of
the actual fight New York is now the battle
ground. On that field the assurance of victory
is already complete.
The New York Commercial Bulletin, nom
partisan journal, in answer to an inquiry says:
The Democrats claim as reasonably certain,
we believe in addition to the 153 Southern
votes, the states of Connecticut, g.; Indiana, Is;
New Jersey, 9, and New York, So which would
give Cleveland 2l0, or Is more than enough to
elect him. New York and Indiana would do
it without the other two or New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut, without Indiana.
Without the state of New York we do not think
either candidate would have more than the
ghost of a chance of securing the POI votes.
st Louis Republican,: This paper conceded
all along that the Republicans would carry
Ohio from the fact that Ohio has always voted
with that party in presidential years, and that
extra efforts were put forth this year. Blaine
even being compelled to so there and use his
personal influence to stem the tide that evil
IDENTIFY had set in against him. That the majority
is no largeris matter over which the Demo-
Gratis can congratulate themselves, and is a
plain Indication that, with all the money used,
personal appeals of the Plumed Knight, and
incessaut work by the party leaders generally,
Mr. Blaines strength is not great enough to
pull him through in November. The result of
the elections in the two states is at least a
stand-off between the two parties,

Blains's BAD Career ~ Secretary Of state.
The Independent Philadelphia Record con.
denses Mr.. Blaine's career as secretary of
state into the following paragraph:
ssDuring Mr. Blaine's brief career in the
state department startling revolution was
made in the foreign policy of the government
A foolish question was raised with England
in regard to the Panama canal, and Mr. Blaine
came out second best in the correspondence
with the British minister. He sought to in
timidate the Mexican government by inter-
meddling in boundary dispute between Mexi-
co andGuatemala. While he wheedled poorPeru
and Numbered in his attempt to bully the brave
Chilians, sordid guano speculation was re-
vealed as the prime motive of his interference
between those people. 1t is the good fortune
OF the country that this reckless foreign policy
lacked the power to sustain it, As soon as
Secretary Frelinghuysen was installed in Of
fee he proceeded to reverse the action of Mr..
Blaine, and to put the foreign policy Of the
Government back into it's ancient and honor
able grooves, to the great qualification of the
conservative mind of the country Is it strange
that President Arthur and Secretary Freling-
huysen are not giving their active support to q
candidate for President whose course upon
questions Of great delicacy and moment thew
were constrained to disavow?"
