4 Mo,av MAKING Woman.

The failure of John J. Cisco & Son, New
York bankers, has again brought promi-
nently before the public Mrs. 4. ID.
Green, who is reported to be the richest
woman in America. 1t was the determl-
nation of Mrs. Green TO withdraw pOr-
ton of the very large amount that she
had on deposit in the Cisco Bank that
caused it 10 suspend. She is the largest
creditor Of the bank, and while she may
lose few thousand dollars Of her deposits,
her securities, amounting to $40, 100000
which were in the bank vault, are safe.
Mrs. Green is a marvelously shrewd
inancier. She manages her own affairs,
and thus far has managed them success
fully. There are very few men in Wall
street who are as we'll acquainted with
the value of the different kinds of securi-
ties dealt in there as she is. She is cred
tied with having engineered more than
one corner in stocks, and to have gotten
the better on many occasions of the ablest
of the Wall street sharps.
She is the daughter of New Bedford
whaler named johnson, who died a few
years ago, leaving her about 3d.
100000. That sum would seem
TO be sufficient to satisfy
the desires Of any woman, but it did not,
it seems, satisfy Mrs. Green. She began
at once to speculate. and, through either
her luck or her shrewdness, accumulated
money rapidly. Those who know
the most of her fnOncial trans
actions say that she was never
known to make mistake in her business
affairs. She could not have made many
mistakes Of a serious character. If she
had she could not have accumulated the
vast fortune of which she is now mistress.
She is credited with being very penu-
rious. AS an instance of this character
istic, it is stated that on one occa-
| sion she alighted in front of the Cisco
banking house from a public conveyance,
with great bundle in her arms, and en-
tered the bank. The bundle proved to be
5000, 900 worth of securities. The banker,
| Cisco, asked her why she did not take a
| private carriage instead Of trusting her.
self with so many valuable securities in
an omnibus. She replied that Mr.. Cisco
might be able to afford a carriage, but that
she was not.
Her thrift is apparent in every way that
it is possible for it TO show itself. In her
home life she is very economical. She
| doesn't seek to have the best of every
thing. 1t is said that she has been known
to walk to a social gathering when the
streets were hardly fit for a woman to be
abroad, rather than to pay for carriage.
! 1t is related that on one occasion when
| there was a contest between two factions
for the control of great railroad prop
erty in which she had large amount OF
stock, instead Of voting her
| shares at the election for
officers she sold her proxies to one of the
parties. OfcOurse she had right to do
this, but the incident nevertheless shows,
if true, that she never let's an opportunity
pass to turn an honest penny.
What does this woman intend to do
with her vast wealth? 1t may be that she
has never given this question serious con-
sideration. Her pleasure is to make
money, not to spend it. Those to whom
she leaves it will take pleasure probably
| in spending it..

prennrinc to Honor schmrz

Hon. Carl Schurz is announced to lee
ture in this city next Saturday evening,
and it is expected that he Will arrive here
on Saturday morning. Mr.. Schurz is,
perhaps, the most distinguished citizen of
this country of German birth. He has
played a very prominent part in both civil
and military life. During the war be-
tween the States he was General in the
Union army. After the war he was
United States Senator and also Secretary
OF the Interior during Mr.. Hayes admin
istration. For many years he has been
prominent as an orator and a writer.
During the late political campaign he
was one of the leaders of the Independent
Republican movement. His attacks upon
Blaine were vigorous and effective. He
paid particular attention to Blaine's
public record. The blows he dealt the
Republican candidate aided materially in
securing his defeat.
There is a very general desire here that
some official notice should be taken of Mr..
Schurz's visit. In accordance with that
desire the City Council, at its meeting
Wednesday night, will arrange for pub
lie reception in his honor, and for extend
ing to him the Inequalities of the city.

The affairs of England's royal family
still engage a good deal of attention in
England, and there is a widespread I'M
preston that at this moment there is an
amount of quarreling and ill-feeling
amongst its members beyond the ordinary
average in even royal circles. Thus, it is
universally remarked that the bridegroom
of the Princess Beatrice has not received
the congratulations of the Prince of
Wales nor of the Duke of Edinburgh, and
the resentment of the young lady at this
snub to her beloved is indicated by her
absence from the rejOicings over the COM
ing OF age of the Princes son.

Near Chappaqua. Horace Greeley's old
home. last Friday night, man named
Mellows. in his night clothes, ran TO the
neighbors through the deep snow and I'M
derbrush, and alarmed them with the
story that burglars had attacked him
in his house, had thrown
him down stairs and were
engaged in numbering his wife and sister
in-law. The neighbors turned out in
force aud found Mrs. MellOws and her
sister in a terrible state of fright. Mrs.
Mellows said that she had heard a noise
at her dOOr-she slept with her sister
and rose, took her revolver from
the bureau and opened the
door. She saw man with
a dark lantern standing there. She fired
her pistol at him, and the man nred at
her. Feeling that she must act promptly
to save her life she threw her whole
weight against the man and knocked him
down stairs. ThatEwas Mrs. MellOws,
story. The Constable Of the town lnves-
tigated thu matter, and came to the con-
clusiOn that Mr.. MellOws was
subject 10 crazy fits; that during
the night he was seized with one Of these
fits and attempted to enter the room where
his wife and sister were. His wife
thought he was burglar, and, failing to
shoot him, pushed him down stairs. Mr..
MelIOws thought he was attacked by
burglars, and aroused the neighborhoOd.
Mrs. MelIows thinks the Constable may
be right. Mr.. MellOws is in the DOCTORS
hands. He was badly cut up by his tramp
through the ice and snow and brlar
bushes.
