The Astor Millions.
New York Letter.

New YORK LetUer
Another million or so of the Aston
morey is about to be spent on large
office building. The location this time
is in Pine street, just off Broadway. A
few years ago one of the Astors put up
costly building of this kind in Wall
street, between Broadway and Nassau
street, and it has paid pretty well. The
building in Pine street will back against
the costly Equitable Life structure,
which is to be enlarged pretty soon by
running through to Nassau street, and
taking in on Broadway building that
is now occupied as one of the Delmonico
restaurants Almost that whole block
bounded by Broadway, Nassau, Pine
and Cedar streets-will then belong to
the Astors and the Equitable Life. Pine
street has been for years the headquar-
tiers of the real estate brokers, and q
whole swarm of them will be turned
out on the LIST of May, when prepare
tions for putting up the new Aston
building will begin. The Astors are
still true to the family traditions in the
matter of investing their money. Near
" all their accumulations go into real
estate. All their millions were made
in real estate and they still prefer that
kind of investment to any other. Wall
street never had any charm for them
and probably never will A few years
ago they bought large track of land up
in Westchester County, with the expec-
tation that it will in time prove as good
an investment as some of those made
by the founder of the family when land
was as cheap on Murray Hill as it is i'll
Westminster County now. They are not
a very brilliant family, bit they have a
full share of solid Dutch sense"

Origin of Masonry.

A writer in recent number of the
Voice of Masonry upon the origin OF
the order, gives variety of views held
by high authority, but holds that 1t an
tedates the Christian era, or is, at least,
not Christian in It's inception. The
writer says: "The whole ritual OF
Masonry-blue masonry as we tecllni-
cally call tin its system of words,
grips and signs, as well as its tradition,
points to a non Christian origin, and
most unequivocally is Judaistic in its
conception. Its hieroglyphic and
mnemonic records, its oral transmission,
its impressive manner of imparting in
struction and fixing valuable lessons,
and its thorough conservation to law
and order, all go to show that it is not
modern in its origin and conception. /
believe, then, in the antiquity of Mason
nv that it was once specially Egyptian
in its character; that subsequently 1t
was purified by Solomon, perhaps, and
bv him consecrated to the noblest pur-
poses; that, becoming then the heritage
of the Israelites, it assumed its IN.
doubted Hebraic character; that it has
been largely modified by successive
generations and nations; that IN the
lapse Of ages it became, under the
Providence of God, the inheritance of
the Anglo Saxon race, who, after per
petnating it for centuries as they re-
ceived it, finally, under the inspiration
Of genius, following the example Of
others, remodeled and reconsecrated it,
giving it its Christian character. and

the glory of its philanthropy, not ex-
Gliding anyone who, believing in the
true God, has the other necessary quail
fications for information.

The Beginning of Roller Skating.

When lie Prophetic" was first pro
duced in Paris (says the New York
World the skating scene, though high
" desirable on account of its novelty,
came near being eliminated because q
the impossibility OF having real ice and
skaters upon the stage, The difficulty
was finally overcome and the novelty
made available by the ingenuity of the
property man, who conceived the idea
of roIler-skates, and thus to q theatre
subordinate the world owes the pleasure
it desires from roller-skating. The
pastime was not, however, introduced
into private life by the Parisians, the
French being VIGOROUSLY slow in adopt
ing the new and untried. In 1S47
the old Covent Garden Theatre, Lon
don. was transformed into the Royal
italian Opera House, and lie Prophete
splendidly put upon the time-honored
boards, and for the first time the
British public beheld roller skating.
Although they went almost wild with
enthusiasm over the skating scene,
they took no more kindly to roller
skating as a pastime than the French
had done. How and when roller-skat-
ing crept into this country, is not known
to the writer, but it has taken thirty-five
years since its advent into London to
bring it to its present state of pop
ularity.

Washington Great Social Center.

Washington Correspondence of EN- Y World
A prominent New York gentleman
who has spent couple of winters in
Washington said to me recently :
"Do you know I am perfectly fascinated
with the social life of the capital? We
have no real society in New York. You
go to any one of the clubs and you find
them in the possession of a lot of young
insurance agents, stock brokers and
downtown business men. They talk
nothing but stocks, petty scandals and
horses. Old men are regarded as stupid.
ANY literary or intellectual gentleman
who desires to discuss something out
side of standard club topics is voted a
nuisance. You go into general society
and you find it still worse. A man or
woman over thirty years of age has to
sit in corner. The young dancing
dudes and the buds run everything.
Here IN Washington literary gentlemen,
philanthropists, statesmen, historians,
and the very best type of our leading
people are met everywhere. You have
here the young dancing people too, but
they are merely employed to fill in the
gaps. They are not the feature of your
society. Any one who has ever en-
joyed winter in Washington society
could never be satisfied with the society
of any other city in this country. 1t is
the only town where men of brains and
position are not driven into the back
ground by the long-legged young men
and the nimble footed young women,
the graduates of the dancing schools.

a Wealthy Mans Will
T.onisville KvN Commercial.

Louisville (Ky) Commercial
The will of the late Benjamin f.
Avery perhaps involves the control Of
the largest single individual estate, ex-
elusive of membranes, ever disposed
Of by bequest in Louisville. The per
sistent care with which the fortune Of
Mr.. Avery was founded, with no capital
for beginning, is equaled only by the
intelligent foresight manifested in its
disposal in such manner as to provide
in the fullest measure for its enjoyment
by those for whom it is intended--hIs
sons and daughters. The terms of the
bequest provide that the husbands Of
the testator's daughters shall not dis
pose of the shares of their wives with
out the written consent of the latter,
and that such shares shall be free from
the liabilities of said husbands. The
reason given for this provision is worth
reproducing; II desire to say that
the foregoing disposition of property
for my daughters is not because of any
want of confidence in my sons-in-law,
but in order to provide against any
possible contingency of their being
brought to want by unforeseen disas-
tiers in the business in which their
husbands may be engaged. Such dis
asters come upon the best men, and my
desire is to protect my daughters and
their husbands against the same as far
as / can"

A Spiritual1stic Story.

From the Glasgow Herald
Mr.. Greville, the late clerk to the
privy council, was persuaded, when he
was over sixty years of age, to attend a
spiritualistic seance. Foster, the pre-
siding medium, was in great form, and
the revelations were astonishing. Gre
vile sat silently. and his aged wizened
face was as emotionless as a mask.
Suddenly the medium grew excited and
said to the old gentleman: "a female
form is bending over you" ooh! the
extraordinary likeness" Greville sigh
ed. "She lifts her hands to bless.
Greville sighed again. "It is your
mother" "Ah, poor thing" said Gre
vile, II am glad" "She smiles. She
says all is well with her" Greville
sighed again aud said: 81 am delight
ed" "She says she will see you soon.
You are old and you must meet her be-
fore long" Then Greville quietly OBJ
served, "That's very true. I'm going
to take tea with her at 5 o'clock this
evening"" Tableau. His mother was
then. though ninety years old, hale and
vigorous.
