In which he E4sps Hts w alth,

The Rock-wa11ea and IRON Ribbed Vauli
in which he ESsps Hts w alth.
From John Swinton's Paper.
I stood the other day in the vault Of
the formidable fortress of iron and
masonry on Forty-second street, where
last year the richest nabo in heIworld
locked up his 5000, OOO, 900 in stocks,
bonds and other securities. II is one
of the most redoubtabl works of de-
Tense on the American continent, though
you may not be entirely certain of that
by surveying the building from the out
side. It's foundations were blasted out
of the rock, the front wall is five feet in
thickness, and the side and real walls
are three feet, the materials used being
pressed brick with brown-stone trim
mings. The beams, girders and main
pillars are iron, incased in fire proof
material. The doors, window-fremes
and minor partitions are iron,
marble and glass. No wood is
to be found in the structure,
The great vault is 36x42 feet, OF
wrought iron, steel and Franklinite
iron, is imposing in strength and pro-
portions, and is situated on the ground
floor. It's four outer doors weigh 5000
pounds each, and have every effective
and known improvement in defensive
devices. A massive wall of masonry
surrounds the iron work. The vault,
which is burglar, fire and waterproof,
constitutes a distinct building in itself.
The armed watchmen who guard the
building day and night are under the
strictest discipline, their hourly move
ments being recorded by an electric
clock, connecting with various points
on each floor of the structure, and there
are also wires running to police head
quarters and tie offices of the District
telegraph. In one corner of this great
vault, behind heavy iron bars, are the
heavier iron doors of the works contain
ing the Vanderbilt securities, which
can be opened only by skeleton keys
held by the owner alone.
l suppose that 100 men in this build
ing with Gatling guns could easily de-
fend it against a mob of 100. 600 assail-
ants it could be reduced by nothing less
than the continued play of heavy artil
lery. Itmay be a year since Vanderbilt
then worth" 5000, 900, 900, put the
largest part of his possessions in the
vault. He could not, perhaps, put more
than 5000, 900 900 under guard here a
| that time; but he has added over $12,
900 900 to his fortune within the year
though it has been a poor year. Thus
rapidly does the stupendous volume o
his unparalleled pile enlarge. Nothing
like such growth of any mans wealth
was ever before known in the world
Every year, in the nature of things, tn,
growth increases, so that the estimat,
of the best informed men is, that by tn,
year 1890 he will be able to pile up no
less than $500, 900, 900 in his great irol
! vault behind walls five feet thick.

Washington Letter: In secret girls
toiled over knit comforters for the dan,

ces of an Arctic climate, and the heroes

fancy work triies as a young minister.
The ships are provisioned with no end

in addition each mess has laid i'll an
abundance of the Injuries of life aud can
die ends and blubber will form no part
of their diet while the ships are above

cooked and canned the most unusual sup
ply of terrapin, and Chamberlain's feat
of sending eight buckets of terrapin
stew to San Francisco is distanced by
this introduction of the diamond back

be glad to know that the terrapin is
stewed with all the spices and wine that
regularly accompanies it, then sealed

frozen terrapin, warm it up, add a little
more sherry and make those waits be-

For this reason many people regard the
whole relief expedition as a pleasant
summer picnic for the carpet knights,
who will be back by cold weather and
ready again to lead the german.

The neatest farmer is the best:

For briars a slovon's culture show.
Neat be your barns, your houses sweet;
Your paths be clean, your door-yards neat.

Neatly enclose your garden round;

Curious Management Of an Estate

A curious state of affairs was dis

week in the ~Surrogate's Court at Albany,
to compel an accounting in the estate of
Julia Kranz a young girl who died re-
Gently. The application was made in
behalf Of Mary j. Freeberthuyser, a

died III 1865, leaving her Sc, 900.
She was then only three
years old. Her mother, as
guardian, took charge of
the fund, and when she rendered An ac-
count to the Surrogate showed that the
deadgirl was in her debt $50. This
was brought about by her mother charg-
ing her daughter S. a week board all her
life and also charging her for clothing,

a western view Of New England.

The native population OF most of the
the Massachusetts, towns is composed Of
old men and women, advanced spinsters,
and a few hopeless old bachelors, most
~ too impecunious or shiftless to marry
any one. The young, stalwart men dc
not remain in New England. There is
little for them to do in farming. Man.
ufactories are filled with Irish and Can.
adian French. In the cities there are
not sufficient opportunities for them te
rise. There being no inducements tc
remain in New England they
leave for the West. Michigan,
Northern Illinois, Wisconsin, Min
nesofa and Iowa are full of them, to
such an extent that some towns are
more New England in character than
New England localities themselves
They are also pouring into Dakota
Montana, and other new areas IN the
far west. With this constant outflow
of resolute, able-bodied young men
from Massachusetts,, Connecticut and
Rhode Island, and with the peculiar
views Of family engendered among wom-
en- by increasing wealth, il is not sc
very remarkable that the puritan stock
is deteriorating. At present il looks as
If the Irish and French Canadian stock
will dominate New England before long
and Massachusetts, and Connecticut
very speedily.
