RISE OF A BUSINESS MAN.
Notable Success of Il Blind Man in
New York City.

People VINO happen 10 be on
Fifth avenue, New York, between
z and 8 o'clock every evening, re-
lates the Chicago Record, can see
an old fashioned carriage with
two seats driven rapidly uptown.
On the back seat sits an old gen
tleman comfortably placed, well
wrapped up with furs and a
slouch hat drawn down over his
eyes. Beside him is,a young man
with an open newspaper spread
upon his knees and an electric
lamp in his hand. His mouth is
close to his companions's ear, so
that the latter can hear distinctly
as he reads the evening papers
above the rattle of the wheels of
thousands of carriages aud de-
livery wagons over the rough
stone pavement. Between 6 and
o'clock every morning the same
sight may be witnessed by people
who get out so early.
The old gentleman in the car
riage is Charles Broadway Rouss,
a blind man who has the largest
wholesale notion store in New
York City, and that is the way he
gets the news of the busy world.
He says he has no time to have
the newspapers read to him ex-
cept while he is riding between
home and his store.
In 1865 Mr.. Rouss came to
New York from Winchester, Va,
with $1.S0 as his capital. He is
row Que of the richest merchants
in that city and his wealth is esti-
mated all the way from So, 1000, 900
to $20,000,000. Hanging in the
most conspicuous place in his
store, just where every one who
enters can read it, is a framed
card bearing this inscription.
