One of the best OF the younger
generation of millionaires is Corne-
lius anderbilt-brother OF the young
Duchess Of Mari hsrough. He began
by defying his father and marrying
the girl he was in love with, though
at the time it was supposed to mean
the loss of S400O0,000. But the
young fellow neither idled nor re-
plned; he set himself to work and to
work in almost its lowliest form. Me-
chanical work and mechanical in
vention have always had an un-
accountable fascination for people to
whom these things could bring no in
crease of prosperity. Poor Louis
XVI spent much of his time in maxi
ing locks and was experimenting with
joy the work of his hands in this re-
spect while he ought to have been
seeing the leaders Of the Liberal op-
position or reading the accounts OF
the hunger riots and the official ex-
tortions in his realm.
Young Cornelius Vanderbilt has al
ways been attracted by railway works,
and when he became his own mag.er
bought himself overalls by the dozen,
and in the shops of a great iron works
or in some railway center took to tha
making CT new fire boxes for loco
motives or some form Of oil or coal
wagon which would be cheaper ard
more effective than those then In ex-
istence. His inventions have been
successful and are employed on many
railway systems, and he meantime
goes on working, preferring greasy
fingers and horny hands and ovoralla
to the more fashionable delights Of
drawing-rooms and restaurants. He
has varied these amusements by join
ing militia regiment and passing
examinations which allow him to
command a company; in short, he is
a truly energetic, simple, active
young man, with strong sense OF
what the citizen owes ,oythe country
into which he has been born.-Chi-
