THEIR GRANDFATHERs.
How Quickly tho Blood OF esothann's Arls-
tocracy became Blue.

How Quickly tho Blood OF Goth0m'S ArlS.
tocracy Became Blue.
Recently Brooklynite was sitting
on the piazza Of the biggest of the Hud-
son river hotels, not SO many miles from
West Point, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
The Brooklynite was the descendant of
q very old New York family which had
transferred It's lares and penates to this
city early in the century. Stopping at
the big hotel were members of the fam
lilies OF the Rhinelanders, the Gallatins,
the Stewards. the Gerrys, the Stuyve-
SAINTS, the DePuysters, the Clintons, and
several others of the best-known names
In New York. A group was formed of
a half dozen of the New York blue
bloods and the Brooklynite. One of the
party spoke of literary treasure, if 1t
might be so called, which he had few
days before picked up in an old book
stall downtown. The treasure was
directory OF New York City printed q
hundred years ago. The party were ut
once interested and the directory was
produced.
"Now," said member of the group,
'1et us try an experiment. Each one Of
us Will write the name of his grand
father on slip of paper, hand it to one
person, and then we will see if the
names SO collected appear in the direc-
tory" The proposition was received
with great favor. Tho papers were dis
tributed and the returns handed in.
Then amid much merriment the hunt
for the grandfathers began. The frst
name, now borne by the most distin-
guished family in Gotham, had opposite
1T the business Of "butcher"
eyes," said the fifteen or twenty
times millionaire who bore his grand
fathers cognomen, ''my grandfather
sold meat to your grandfathers."
The second name unearthed proved to
be q shoemaker.
"And my grandfather" said this
worthy's descendant, made your grand
fathers Shoes"
So it went round. All those names
which could be found had tho imprint
of some useful trade after them. The
Brooklynite's grandfather was dignified
beyond all the rest by the respectable
appcllation of merchant"
This Is positive fact; and there was
not one of these descendants of butch
ers, bakers and candlestick-makers but
Is in the inner circle of New York's
four hundred and worth as many mill
ions as he hos fingers and toes.
1t is no discredit, indeed, that such
should be the fact. The country was
new century and odd years ago and
New York was not 80 very much more
than village. But it is strange how
quickly tho blood of artist ocracy gets
80 worry, very blue.

COMMISSIONER VALENTINE TALKS

/
About the Swedish CoIonist scheme and
Claims THAT it is by no Means n Failure.
The statement has been frequently pub
! lished Of late that the colonization of Swed
| sh immigrants upon the deserted farms of
| Vermont is not proving a success. Dscon-
tent is said TO prevail, and some OF them
are reported as removing to the lumber re-
gions Of the State upon the Canadian and
! Maine border, where they can combine
numbering in the forests and clearing up
| the lands for farms Notwithstanding fire.
! quent official deuIals of these statements
| they still obtain circulation
In an interview relating to the failure of
the Vershre colony, Commissioners Valen-
! tine repeated what he had already given to
tho press, that the Swedes left Ncrshiro
simply because there was not enough work
| to do outside of work on their farms. 1t is
evident the commissioner said, that, com
ing without motley beyond enough to get
/ to their destination, they must have work
| to support their families, until their lands
yield such support. They showed their
| good sense in comprehendng the situation,
and, of themselves, making arrangements
to go where plenty of work could be had.
A long winter was before them, during
which little could be done on their farms,
and four months Of idleness did not com
mend itself to their judgment, if they in
tended to pay for their lands: and, like SEN
| sible men, rs they are, they made their own
| arrangements to 90 elsewhere, leaving hon
| orably, owing no man dollar. They found
no fault with the people, and showed graft
tudo for the kindness shown them. The
people had done much for them, aud the
disappointment at their leaving was keen,
] 70, tb.,. 81 rit,i, Pt1I
to them for their industry, honesty and
frugality. They are yet in the State on
lands bought in Essex county.
Mr.. Valentine says that Essex county
presents many advantages for Swedish or
other immigration. 1t is a matter of con
graduation, rather than regret that the
Swedes went there and it is expected that
they will send for their friends to follow
them
As for dissatisfaction elsewhere, Mr. Val
cntine declares there is no evidence Of it,
On the contrary the colonists are sending
tor their friend, to join them. There Is
supposed to he on the way to-day from
Sweden for Weston, at least three, and for
Wilmington three, and two more to follow
soon.
With regard to the Swedes being salts
tied in Vermont the State commissioner
says there seems to be no trouble about that
SO long as they can get fair lands as cheap
a, offered now ON conditions which will
enable them to pay Tor such lands. but
those without money must have work in
plenty. until they can Leta start. Kind
ness sympathy and forbcarauce must he
shown Any attempt, before they have
learned our language, to overreGch them,
by those selling lAem lands, would DO fatal
