A RICH AND HAPPY FAMILY.

Nearly all of MT. Vanderbilt's daughters are mothers. What happy family that is Wealth does not scrimp them. h. come does not stop its outcome. It pre- serves the two great laws of increase and multiplication.
 MT. Shepherd, who married the oldest daughter, is queer character He is now finishing building on Fifth Avenue, oc- cupying part of the Rutgers Institute block, which has for its signs the State De- D sit Bank, the Rutgers Bank, the Bank oc Banks. We all stop to read the last sev- aral times, and then ask what the bank is. The friends of the Vanderbilt family smile and say "rhat Is one of Shepherds cranks.
 The next daughter Is Mrs. Sloane. Sloane is the leading carpet man in New York. He constructs articles on which mankind and womiiiliind walk. That rather gives him black eye in the super sttions of New York as one of the Van derbilt family. If he could only make ceilings on which people could not walk, it might be different, but to put beautiful articles under our feet seems strange for such very rich person. So, on the whole, the s olr element of the.pVanderbilt fam ily is 8 little looked down upon. particu- larly by the William K. element. At the same time the Sloanes rank very high in the mercantile world. The magnificent building of the Sloane family on upper Broadway hardly has its match in the world for store of any sort and as a car pet store it is beyond comparison.
 The third daughter is Mrs. ,Twombley. Twombley was in the paper making bus mess in Massachusetts, and was not worth BIO, 900 when he married one of William Vanderbilt's daughters {; but he was gen. tleman. The Vanderbilts say they do not demand money as qualification to come into their family, but they do demand re- spectabiity, good nature, manners and goed feelings It is to the credit of Wm. Vanderbilt and his wife that they regard their own fortunes as amply sufficient for all their posterity, but they will not have adventurers, vulgarians, or cold hearted peo- pie of the world to marry their, children. The nearest approach to q worldly person who has come into that family is Mrs. William K., who gave the great ball last year. The old folks say nothing about her operations, but her father-in-law went to that ball in plain black suit, and was the only person present in such. suit. From what pick up he does not think much of fancy balls but he cannot con- trol his own sons in everything, much less

Washington Republican An attache of 8 wigmakers establishment in Washington tells the following story 'There was 8 fashionable wedding in this city not long ago where beautiful young girl married an old man and did not know it. And what is more, she lives with him now and has not found him out The groom was 8 handsome mag, and was looked upon as a young man in society, in which he fig ured quite prominently He had a youth ful face, was quick and erect, and, coloring his hair, which was snow white, he easily passed with the youngest. With his affa- ble manner and gallantry he won the heart of the young girl he married from num- Der of other suitors many of them young and handsome. The girl was very young and a belle.
 ''Just before the wedding took place the man came here and had his own hair cut off and 8 wig made. Dyeing his hair had worked very we'll while he was cou ting, but when it came to getting married he knew he could not use dye without his wife finding it out, so he adopted a wig to get out of the difficulty. The idea of his young wife finding out that he was an old man nearly set him wild, and when he had got well settled under his wig he was the happiest man l ever saw. On his weddlng g day he was as frisky as a boy, and no one suspected his spirit. This happened some months ago, and the bride has not yet found out that he is an old man and wears wig, and she will probably never find it out until old age asserts itself so strongly that 1t can no longer be concealed. They live here in the city now, and the secret is known probably to none save the groom and his hairdresser > '

He finds that't or three hundred bushes may be pruned in .an af- ternoon by the use of hedge shears. He closes his advice with the story of ScoIch minister who was fond of his garden, but whose gardener did not succeed with the roses. He presisted in spending much time on rose pruning, yet the towering was invariably indifferent. One year, just before pruning time, the minister's don- key got into the garden, and finding these new fashioned thistles to his liking, ate them off nearly to the ground. That year they lowered splendidly, and on a friend congratulating him on his fine roses, the minister drily remarked, "Formerly I had a gardener who was an ass, but now l have an ass that is gardener"

The Anti NJ ,nop,ly Convention
held Mt Chicago this week, has
nominated Benjamin F. Butler for
president, by a vote of l24 to g., The
platform adopted by the convention,
in q vote of 80 to 81, declares that
labor and capital should not be an
tagonistic to each Their; commerce
and transportation to be regulated
by the general government; bureaus
Of labor statistics established by the
state and general governments;
The eight hour law established; inn
portation of fereign labor under con
tract prohibited; the bonded debt
paid as it comes due; senators elect
ed by direct vote of the people; tar
iff reduced to the actual necessities
of the government; no moro land
grants to railroads, and oil grants
forfeited that are not earned. A
minority reported in favor of the
platform Of last year, adding wo-
man suffrage plank, was submitted.
The platform as adopted is one that
Mr.. Butler would accept, which
would not be the case if all the re-
forms Of the age were Incorporated
in it. That these live measures,
fraught with interest to the entire
community, will receive q large and
increasing vote, must be evident to
all; and that the old parties, whose
leaders are afraid to adopt live
measures. lest the chances of their
candidates might be endangered,
will b split up and depleted by the
entering wedges of this coming re-
formation, is equally evident 70 all

Thursday, by the steamer Merwin.
to take part in celebrating the
Queens birthday, on the Oath OF
May. They go to Seattle by the
fifty cent boat, and from there to
Victoria On the opposition line, for
fifty cents more, making journey
of l75 miles, for one dollar. Why
could not some enterprising steam
boat man take them across from
Anaco rtes to Victoria, distance of
only about 80 miles, for the same
price. Skagit and Whatcom coun-
ties would furnish 500 excursionists
ut that price, If facilities were Offer
ed, and the trip could be made be-
tween 4 o'clock in the morning, and
20 o'clock at night of the same day.
No steamboat company could make
a thousand dollars quicker and cas-
Ter than by getting up such an ex-
cursion, and the people Of both To-
calities would be benefited by the
ACQUAINTANCE and Information which
such an opportunity would afford.
