Groxn Rich sn Real Estate.

The Astors are not spectators. They do
not 90 upon the street for business or invest
money in ordinary business affairs. They
confne their operations TO real estate II
was the foundation Of their great fortune
which was left to them by the shrewd and
miserly old parent who made II. John jacob
Aston, the elder, was singular old person.
He labored and saved all the money no
accumulated went into land and its belong
ings. The most glowing business venture
could not coax money ont Of his pocket
He believed in land and invested his fortune
in it. His life was anything but happy
one, and his family don't seem TO have inn
proved much upon It, They live in good
shape, that Is about oil. They cut no figure
in the general life Of the metropolis except
rs large property owners and purchasers.
The two Astors are old men. William w.
is tall, robust citizen. near sixty, should
think. He has round, full face, little
inclined to be red, and a sandy complexion.
His brother is fully as tall, but not as stout,
nor as cheerful-looking. Both of them pass
along the street without attracting any at
tention or scarcely a passing notice.
In dollars and cents ! suppose they are
by far the largest real estate owners in the
United States They are adding to their
possessions every day. Their present VEN
lures, believe, are in the direction of the
new property about Harlem, that is just
now attracting 30 much attention. Next tc
the yanderbilts, suppose this Is the riches,
family in America. How many millions
they have no one seems to know, yet in
1860 II was heralded over the United States
that John Jacob Aston was the richest man
in the country. He had million Of dollars
then. just think of the great fortunes that
have been accumulated since. The Wander
bilt estate has been built up since those
days, while Astor's real estate, then valued
at million, has increased to more than q
hundred millions. The fortune he left to
his family is one Of the very few In New
York that has been kept intact and built
upon by the slow increase in the value Of
houses and land.
