a Couple of New York Minionaires.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Being in bank yesterday for a few min
utes. two different men spoke to me with
the cordiality of boys, aud afterward a
fellow director in the bank remarked:
THAT William r. Grace is a very good
man. He is a native of Ireland and
very strong in the confidence of the
Roman Catholic hierarchy, but | never
knew him to interfere with anybody. to
Cypress anybody, or even TO harbor malice.
You cannot get him to say ANYTHING
against persons who persecute him With
all his wealth he is a modest man. He has
great attachment to his wife and family.
who are thoroughbred Americans His
wife was brought up Protestant in the
state of Maine.
"How much is Mayor Grace worthW
He is not worth as much as that other
gentleman you spoke to, Commodore Van
SantvoorG, but he is worth four-ifths as
sum up about $1l ,000, 600, am told"
THAT mani ] thought he might be
worth $500, 900.
80, no. He has been a very lucky man.
Like all such men who give their undivided
attention to business, he is very particular
in his habits. He never smoked a cigar.
The smell of tobacco he dislikes But he is
as kind as If he had nothing. He will turn
from his business aud go to the funeral Of
civilization and duty"
reflected that here was an eleven mill
ionaire whose name had never seen in the
papers, so inquired:
"How in the world did Commodore Van
Santvoord get so much money"
ut is the story of good many New York
Dutchmen. All along the, Hudson river
were little Dutch settlements, and Van
Santvoord means, I suppose, the sand ford ;

from the foot of the Catskill mountains. in
Ulster county, where transportation was a
great question in his infancy and
railroads had not then been estab-
lished. One of the earliest of these rail
roads ran from Catskill across to the
Mohawk valley. 1t was afterward taken
up, but in place of it has been built a rail
road from Rondout to the Susquehanna
valley called thu Ulster and Delaware
railroad. This is joined by a fine line
of steamboats, to New York city. Van
Santvoord perhaps commenced there In
the course of time he extended mis- invest
menus to the Harlem railroad, so that
he is in with the Vanderbilt coterie.
He is also an eminent power in the
Milwaukee and ST. Paul railroad He car
ries line of securities in Erie as well.
Continuity of purpose, investing and wait
ing for years, doing something all the time
to forward his investments, keeping within
his mind movement of society, the commo-
dore, as we call him, stands we'll up among
rich men, and yet attends strictly to his
own business"
chow did Mr.. Grace make his monev?"
He made it originally and mainly in the
Peru trade. He went to Peru, | think,
from England, and there saw oppor-
tunities to establish firm trade
with the United States; SO ne be-
came a shipping merchant, with banking
arrangements in his house at both ends
As he made money in that way, in the vari-
Gus branches of guano, copper, ETC., be
found judicious investments in America.
In politics he has chiefly been an Irishmau,
and that race has a natural taste for politics
everywhere.

Whence, by the way. comes the phrase,
his name is Dennis" My ignorance is de-
plorable, doubtless, but | found score of
wise men and women yesterday who are in

said: II have a vague idea that some fellow
whose name was Dennis got hung. Some
body who did not know of this tragic fact
asked afterward what had become of
Mister Dennis, aud the answer he got
was: His name is Dennis"
In my search after the origin of the
phrase, came upon the record of a certain
John Dennis, an English critic and poet in
small way, who lived in the eighteenth
century. In his capacity Of critic he wrote
a savage review of Pope's Essay OIL Man, "
and the revengeful poet replied by immor-
talizing Mr.. Dennis in THE Dunciad" after

music discoursed at the auditorium, the
bows have been serenading hotels and cot

manners as well as by their sweet music.
The lady members have done much to pop

toasted at ice cream tables and in c0ttage
parlOrs. The male members of the orchts.
ira are comfortably quartered and wCll
fed at Assembly Hall, kept by Mrs. \. j..
Wavman of Wheeling. On Thursday eve
ming, after the lecture at the auditorium,
upon the invitation Of Mrs. Wayman,
the orchestra repaired TO the parlOrs of As
sembly Hall, where the guests OF the house
and some invited friends were entertained
for half an hour with some of Mr.. Mestre-
zatt's choicest selections. Then the doors
of the spacious dining rooms We're thrown
open, and all were invited to partake of re
freshments, which were served by Mrs
Wayman in her best style.
After all had partaken, Prof \. l..
Wade of MOrgantowu, who was one of the
invited guests rendered the good hostess
the hearty thanks of the entire company
and paid a high compliment to the Orches-
