Tub Wheeling Intbluokscbrannounces that Mr. Kenna is the choice of the Re-1 publicans of this district, for Congress over Mr. Walker. From which it clearly appears tbat Mr. Kenna has sold out to the Republicans.?CluirUiton Courier. The Ixtbu.iqe.vckr stated that as a choice of two evils, a majority of the Re publicans of the Third district would pre fer Mr. Kenna to Mr. Walker, the editor of the Courier. From present indications they are not likely to be burdened with either. Oxk by one our illusions vanish. The myths fade away, accepted fact reverts to fable, and disenchantment confronts us everywhere. It seems that the famous Captain Kidd was not a pirate after all,but only a poor sailor boy, who ought to have figured in a Sunday school book instead of adorning volumes of the raw-bead-and ?cros8*bones kind. Notwithstanding the fact that Oaptain Kidd has been held up for nearly two hundred years in songs and ballads as a bloodthirsty sea robber, and that he was actually convicted of murder at the Old Bailey in London and hung in chains, it is now alleged by a gentleman who has carefully examined the whole matter, and the results of whose inquiries were given to the SL Nicholas Club of New York on Tuesday night, that Kidd, ao far from being himself a pirate, was a brave and loyal seaman,who faithfully en deavored to suppress freebooters in the EastTndiea. Tub Standard Oil Company is building a pipe line from the oil regions to Cleve land with a capacity of 10,000 gallons a day. This is intended to counteract the Reading and Jersey Central Railroad, ?which in tho last yoar have obtained part of the oil traffic to the seaboard by build ing a pipe line to tide water. Previous to that time the Standard Oil Company, which is an enormous monopoly created by tho railroad men who hold its stock, controlled the refining trade without a rival; the oil freights being divided pro rata between the Erie, Central and Penn sylvania. The tide water pipe line built by Mr. Qowen has cut the ground out from under this combination, and the proposed line is an attempt to crush rival trude by carrying oil cheaply to Cleve land, where the superior advantages of the Standard Works will enable it to re fine oil at a cost below that of other com panies. Mr. Eknot Dalkymplk has promul gated in a Washington newspaper a scheme to organize an "Army of Ocupation" -which shall invade Mexico and march triumphantly to New Granada, uniting Mexico and the Central American States under one government, and thus bringing all of the inter-oceanic canal routes under the control of the United States. The Gazelle says: 'General' Dalyrymple's name does not appear to be very conspicuous on the scroll of fame, and we are at a loss to decide whether he is an idiot or lunatic. As he promises further disclosures and asserts that a syndicate of New York millionares is backing him, we will withhold judg ment for tho present. As to the consoli dation of the Central American States, that arch-conspirator, Col, James Thomas, Mr. Joaquin Miller's "King of Tigre," I tried the experiment once, assisted by the dashing Gen. Barris. The result was he lost his little kingdom In Fonesca Bay, and had to Hy, or rather swim, from Tigre to the main land to save his life. II AM LA.> ASD COCBTNET. Tbe Ohatnclcw to Ibo .tluich Now Be lieved to be ont of the Way. New York Time*, Referee William Blaikio was called upon yesterday at his office, by A. T. Soule, of ? Rochester, for the purpose of further per fecting the arrangements for the postponed Hanlan-Courtney-Riley boat race, which ib expected to take place in May next Mr. Soule has just returned from a tour of inspection among the boating fraternity of Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia, and reports the interest in the case as con stantly increasing. The new articles signed on January 3d by Courtney, stipu lated "Washington, or such place as may hereafter be agreed upon," as the locality of the race, and named May 20 as the date. Mr. Soule reports the Wash ington course as being an excell ent one. Its length from the Aque duct bridge at Georgetown to the celebrated Long Bridge, near Washing ton, is two and one-half miles, which, with tho return trip, makes a total dis tance of live miles, over smooth water, with little or no obstruction. In case Con gress adjourns bofore the date fixed, the race will come off earlier, possibly the last of April. While in Washington, Mr. Soule was Introduced by the Congressman from the Rochester distriot to President Hayes, who, he said, evinced a decided curiosity concerning the approaching struggle, and remarked that Washington "would be a good place for the race." The officers on the men-of-war stationed in the; Potomac aro also interested in the affair, j Tho facilities for getting to the course aro 1 excellent, the distance from the Treasury building to the grand stand being only one and a half miles. Mr. Blaikie has now locked up in hiq safe the six thousand dollar certificate from Mr. Soule, a live hundred dollar cer tificate of deposit on the American Ex change Bank from Courtney, and another five hundred dollar certificate on a Cana dian bank from Hanlan. Banian's de posit is made under the Rochester agree ment of November 14, and there is a hitch over his acceptance of the Union Springs articles signed by Courtney, nnder which the receipts from donations, railroads, ho tels, Ac., are to be devoted to defraying the expenses of both parties. By the Ro chester or Hanlan articles the whole amount was to go to the winner. Hanlan agreed to waive tho difference if Mr. Soule will guarantee $600 that Mr. Riley will take the place of Mr. Courtney providing he does not row. Mr. Soole has accepted this offer, and left for Rochester last night with the un derstanding that he is to send the referee a check for a third $500, which, with the other two forfeits, will go to whichever of the three men comes to the scratch. Mr. Soule is represented as being fully in earnest, and says that his $6,000 will be promptly forthcoming in case two or more men contest for it. Riley, who is training at Saratoga Springs, turns the scales at 17u pounds, 20 pounds aboft his rowing weight, and is believed to be in excellent condition. The Northern Central Railroad has offered to transport the rowers, their boats and trainers, both ways, free of pharge, Tin* Bleb Mm of Hiw York. From tbe N?w York Iwtqxiulut. Fifty yean ago almost, as we can veil remembv, there were probably not more than two mllllonarlee In tbe city ol New York, viz.: John Jacob Aatorand Stephen Whitney. The former wa? then Mtlmateil to be worth $5,000,000 and tbe latter $1, 600,000. Mr. Astor was then undoubtedly the moat wealthy man in America, and there were but few, probably not a hundred, In the world who were really worth moie than he. Aator had accumulat ed his great property in the fur business. Whitney had made a large proportion of his money in tbe purchase and sale of cot? ton. lie also inherited a considerable property. These two men at that time stood alone, as we have said, as "mil lionaires" in this city. Ten yoars later, or Bay in 1840, theie were several others who could count their million. We refer to Peter G. Stuyvesant, Steph en Van Rensselaer, Jonathan Hunt, Peter Lorillard, Jacob Lorillard, William B. Crosby (grand nephew of the rich Honry Rutgers), James Lenox. Possibly there were a few other persons who should be included in this llst-although we think not-vb.: James Debrosses, Peter Har mony, Thomas Leggitt, Gen. Morgan Lewis (acquired mostly through his wife, who was a Livingston), John Mason, John Suvdam, Herman Thorneand William fc. Wetmore. We believe the first named persons in the foregoing list were ail in the city of New York who could then truthfully lie called worth a million. We could give a very long list of men who were conspicuous in business circles in New York between the years 1840 and I860, besides those above named, who were then classed among the rich men of the city worth probably half a million e8During the year 1833, or about that time, A.T. Stewa.1 invited Lewis Tappan, a partner in the firm ol Arthur Tappan & Co. to come to his store, then situated near the present office of the Independent, to ex amine his stock, books and papers, and re port the facts of his condition to his firm and tho llenry Sheldon (French importer) and soveral others, from whom Mr. Stew art desired considerable credit Mr. Tap pan after a most careful examination, re ported Mr. Stewart to be "fairly worth $t>'J,000 over and above all liabilities. This statement gave all the parties inter ested implicit confidence in the sound ness of Mr. Stewart's financial condition, and thence alterward he had all tho credit he wanted. Mr. Stewart stated to Lewis Tappan, some years after, that the credit given him as the result of that examina tion, gave him u new start in business, and was of immense advantago to him. He also stated that he most heartily be lieved in the principle of "knowing tbe exact situation of every man who wanted credit." Our readers will seo by the foregoing that we had comparatively but few rich men in New York at the time named? seemingly not very far in the past. It would he almost impossible to give a cor rect list of the millionaires of New York at the present time. They doubtless num ber more than one thousand, while some might estimate the number at two thous and. There are now also a regiment of men in New York who are worth two mil lions or more, up to twenty millions. There is but one individual, probably, in this city whoso total property would in ventory above $75,000,000. We refer to William H. Vanderbilt, whose interest in the stock of tbe New Y'ork Central and Hudson Kiver railroad company alone is said to amount to over $00,000,000. He is also the holder of n large amount of other securities, including those of Lake Shore, Canada Southern and Michigan Central railroads, bosides several millions of governments and aconsiderable amount of real estate. The total value of Mr. Vanderbilt's property, we think, is at least $00,000,000, and it may possibly (aa some think) amount to the round snm of $100, 000,000. The estate of William B. ABtor, at the time of his death, was generally es timated at over $50,000,000. Very few persons believed in much higher figures. Since the division of the William B. Aator property, real estate in which most of his money was invested, has fallen greatly, and the total property left by bim would not now, probably, bring his heirs over $10,000,000. Those who are supposed to have reliable sourcea of information estimated the total value of the property of Alexander T. Stewart at the time of bis decease at $00,000,000. The depression since in real estate would probably bring the figures down now to $50,000,000, or less; although there are those who affirm that the Stewart property, held by Mrs. Stewart and Judge Hilton, would inven tory now at $00,000,000 or more. There are not now living in the world, probably, more than five or six persons who are worth as much money as William H. Vanderbilt, and It is possible there is not one. The firm of Rothschilds in Europe has a larger aggregate property than Mr. Van* derbilt, out it is doubtful whether either single member of this eminent banking firm is worth $100,000,000. There are three or four persons among the nobility ol England who hold a vast amount of prop erty handed down to them through many fenerations, and among these may be ound, perhaps, one or more persons who have the control of property which they cannot sell, worth $100,000,000. When 50 years more Bhall roll round, there will doubtless be found hundreds of men who will be able to show far greater wealth than any of those nowontho stage; but we will not attempt to make figures for that distant period. Jim Blftlneorflnlnc. Wuhlngtoi letter in yesterday'* Chicago Tribune. There are some positive statesmen in Maine; and assuredly that sparsely popu lated State has her share of brains in the National councils. "With Blaine and Ham lin in the Senate and Frye and Reed in the House she can challenge comparison with almost any other State. Father Hamlin is now old and feeble, and will probably I give way at the expiration of his term to some younger man. But he has been a strong man in his day, and still commands respect. Mr. Blaine, when all has been said against him that can be said, is the most splendid figure in public life. His name will live when those of most of his compeers have crumbled in forgetfulness. RoBcoe Conkling is a wonderful speaker, but he has left no impress on bis times: has no hold on the affections of the people; has not the true courage or the self-forgetfulness of a leader of tho people; is timid, irresolute and coldly selfish in the hour of peril; lied to Baltimore when he should have delivered the "greatest effort ot his life;" and made his sir-by-nine splurge on a pack of custom-house appointments con* cerning only his party ambition. But Blaine of Maine is usually on hand when he is wanted. He has pluck. He has spirit He can forget himself, as he did when he made his audacious attack on Massachusetts. No simply selflah man would have done that No little man could have carried it through in such a gallant way, and single-handed have put the hosts of Massachusetts to flight It was pitiable, I am told, to see the predic ament in which Hoar and Dawes were' put in that memorable debato. Utterly unprepared, and ignorant of the history of their own State and country, they were as children in the hands of a giant And he devoured them raw. Blaine's magnetism and his power over the people are unrivaled. Nq other man can draw Bach crowds, or hold them so well, or evoke so much enthusiasm for him self by a simple appearance. In Iowa and Ohio during the last campaign, farmers came twenty and twentv-five miles in wagons with their families to hear him speak. More than oncecrowdaof 25,000 gathered about him; and they were all Blaine men before theydispersed. Nothing like it has been known before since the days of Henry Clay. And I pray dat de Lord take me. till I tried "Sellera' Cough 8yrup," an' I'? neb her coughed sixice. How's dat for high, bout Chicago llolelN. From th? Chicago Times. Says the St. Louis QloU-Dtmocral: "Chi cago promised to keep her hotel accommo dations at the usual price during the ses sion of the Bepublican Convention, but parties who have written to secure rooms In advance are informed that $20 a day is the sum demanded for an apartment which ordinarily rents for $4 a day. This on the part of any other city but Chicago would Go called bad faith." Which hotel was guilty of this greed? It is only fair to the others that the name be given. Was it tHe .establishment owned by the Boni i face, who. when informed that Chicago had been designated as the place for hold iug the convention, telegraphed to open a I few bottles, and then repudiated the bill? Was it the same grasping landlord whose I god Is a sort of combination between his own pocket and other people's bellies who j informed an inquirer that the Maine dele gation might,have a parlor at just what Its cot capacity multiplied by & per diem would bring? That sort of landlord is to be found among ;the taverns of this city. Happily, however, he isn't a representa tive. The other landlords put their hog on the table. They don't keep it in the counting room. A Valuable Devicc. The Milwaukee ?im says Sam Medilllias invented a device to prevent market men from palming off old eggs for fresh ones. The invention is thus described: He proposes to arrange a rubber stamp in the nest of every hen, with a movable date. This stamp is arranged with a pad which Is saturated with indelible ink. When a hen lays an egg, as is well known, she kicks slightly with her hind leg. An electric dish is arranged so that her foot touches it, when the stamp turns over on the ink pad and then revolves, stamping the date on the egg. The hen then goes about her business, the far mer's hired girl removes the egg, re places the stamp, which is ready for an other. On each evening, after the hens have retired to their downy rooBt, with the roosters, the date of the stamp is changed to the following day, and the good work goes on. In this way there can be no cheating. You go to the grocery and ask for fresh eggs, and the grocery man says he lias some eggs of the vintage of Janu ary 28,1880, for instance. \ou look at them, and there are the figures, which cannot lie. With this method it is an ob ject for the man to get rid of his eggs, knowing that to-morrow may be too late. WorkluKQiOP.
