A Story Of ln0ratitude.

The building itself is on the site of
the old Washington hotel. The hotel.
by the way, was built on the ground
once occupied by the mansion Of
Nathaniel Prime, the Jay Gould Of fif-
ty years ago. II may be added.
parenthetically, this same banker.
Prime, once, when a poor young man.
went to southern planter on visit
at the time to New York, and asked
for a loan Of $1,000.
''What security can you givee" ask
cd the planter.
1.-The word of an honest man." an
swered Prime.
The planter eyed him for an instant.
and then replied: You shall have it,"
This sum gave Nathaniel Prime his
great start in life, and he soon paid
the debt. Years rolled on. and he be-
came the leading banker Of the city.
One day the planter who had betriend-
ell him at the outset Of his career came
to him in poverty and asked him for
the loan of the same sum that he had
lent Prime SO opportunity. The bank
err remembered him well, but asked:
"What security can you give?'
"The word Of an honest" answered
the planter, echOing Primes own
words of years before.
THAT won't do in Wall street," was
the bankers reply.
The planter seemed dazed by such
an answer. and left without a word.
The man who was capable OF such
ingratitude had become miser, a
mOnomaniac on the subject of money.
and in his old age, becoming insane IN
the midst of wealth over the though,
that he might by some possibility die
poor. committed suicide by cutting his
throat in his mansion that occupied
the site. as already stated. of the
present Washington building -Neu

The first work of the day was the disposition of the resolution offered yesterday asking that the silver coinage law of 1878 be suspended and the substitute offered by MT.
