'ersons who have never thought ot ince, and Have paid no attention to itical economy, have an idea that ! wealth of the globe is substantially asured by its precious metals. These not, however, represent one-tenth ; value of even the private fortunes the world, invested in houses, lands, nk, mining, railway, government and ler securities. The railway secur >s of this country amount to $5,000,',000,and the national bonds of Britain, ince and the United States to $ 0,i,000,0(j0. The largest landed estates ! held in Mexico, South America, Engid, Russia, and, especially in this mtry, by corporations. It is very cperly considered a great injustice to ; people of Britain that the Dukes of tlierland, Devonshire and Westnster, with other nobles, should own m 100,0(10 to 1,000,000 acres each, icn the United Kingdom is so very all, and when the great mass of inhabitants have not either actuy or prospectively a single foot of the ximon soil. But some railway comnies here have erants of land of from 0O0.000 to 50,000,000 acrcs. When nry VIII confiscated the estates ot ? Roman Catholic church they did t number one tithe as many iicres as ngresshas granted to the .Northern cific railway. Nevertheless, the conjated estates wrre enough to found 2 richest nobility in the world. It is isonable to suppose that the most ossal fortunes on this continent will gained from these vast land grants ring the next fifty years. The land, w scarcely worth $2.50 an acre, will certain to be salable at from $50 to X) an acre. Thus, a corporation, icse grant comprises, say, 20,000,000 es, and ninety per cent, of whose ck is in tlie hanss of ten men, as is. some instances, actually the case, 11 own (if it can keep its grant, free m*taxes, twenty or thirty years) a ided property worth anywhere from K),000,000 to $ ?,000,000,000, or to each its stockholders from $40,000,000 to )0,000,000, money enough to buy a able well-cultivated planet, with all ! modern improvements. Enormous these figures are, fabulous as the esti.tes may seem, they do not much nsccnd the actual moncy-gettinc of illiam S. O'Brien, Asa Packer, Alexicr T. Stewart, Cornelius Vanderbilt, John Jacob Astor, each of whom quired stupendous wealth from a jital of mere energy, foresight, and derstanding of opportunity. The ;at landed estates of Britain are proted by laws of primogeniture and tail, which are interdicted here. But ;h laws will be superfluous to few n who can for years hold mil'ions of es, free from taxation, with a cernty of selling them at an advance of m 2,000 to 3,000 per cent. The poslewealihof some of the land grans, in the not remote future, appears run into fable, and is sufficient to ound any financial imagination. Some Celebrated Women. iVomen, often debarred from practiknowled^e of certain aspects of li.c, ; obtain a rectified comprehension ough sympathy, Mrs. Browning possed the gilt in a transcendental de;e; it vibrated on tlie chord of poetic pression in her; Jane Austin and larlotte Bronte led retired lives, hut jy had the power perpetually to pass t of their circumscribed individuality o that of others and the gc nius to ren and turn to account the fleeting imsssions of their passing contact witli lividuals. The dariing* and orna?nts ot society are the women who can row themselves best into the interest t li*> moment.. If to thia sensitive nsi re belongs a native sincerity, continee is attracted, friendships are made d retained. Mme. Kecamier is perps the best type of this gilt ol social rnpathy allied to a certain reality ol ture. She attracteu the best and tlic jst gifted of her time. When age had irred her beauty, poverty succeeded :alth, and partial blindness rendered r infirm, her salon in the Abbaye ^ux lis was stiJl the resort of the eminent ii and women of the period. She was t a wit, she was alway somewhat shy t she had the wish to win love rather m admiral ion, and possessed the tact drawing out tiie best gifts in others, e had the genius of friendship; her adfastness could not be shaken. She urre.i exile because she would visit ue.de Stael against all prudent ad:e. She lost the chanpe of recovering r eyesight bpoause she insisted upon en ing M. de Ballanche on hisdeath1, and for eighteen years she tended ile Chateaubriand in his age and innity. We would, therefore, say the pressionable temperament distiniahing all sympathetic people is her a strength or a weakness, accord; to the character allied to it. As npathy gives an angelic grace to vir!, food to genius and steadfastness to ial reiationsiups, so u can degenerate o nothing but bilious, over-facile sitivcness to the passing impressions the n.oment.?London Queen. i -?$ - ': . oratiSSttB&iZ^ci. i- ~s j FOB THE FAIR SEX. Fuhlon IYotca. Bodices of velvet or brocade are worn with any skirt. Tea gowns are the fashionable English house dress for afternoon wear. Collars for children are still made very large, covering the shoulders. Such pretty little colored bordered handkerchiefs as there are. Why must one sigh and remember the destructive washtubP Lisle thread gloves in reality cost more than kid ones, but it is a luxury to pull on the thin things in a second, and it is stylish to have brown hands at this season. Black skirts are much worn with jacket waists, as well as a great variety of silk and woolen draped skirts in fancy designs. Satin is also used fcr this purpose. Very thickly woven black silk mitts are fashionably worn with plain summer toilets, and are cool and pleasant to wear, serviceable, and are suitable with dresses oi any coior. Those who have the old-time shoulder-capes of embroidered muslins, worn by mothers or grandmothers, may deem themselves fortunate, as their exact counterpart are now produced as among the summer novelties. Parasol handles are things of art this 1 summer, finished with knobs of painted 1 porcelain, set with cat's eyes, lapis 1 lazuli, coral and other semi-precious stones, and carved into heads, animals and birds, or insects of various kinds. 1 Turned-over linen collars that are rolled away from the throat without being pressed flat are very popular with young ladies who have adopted the lowj cut surplicc dresses, as they fill up the space sufficiently and a ciiemisette is } not needed. Belts for the front of basques are so broad that when they are meant to "be smooth and straight they are stiflened , by whalebones and are ornamented with two rows of buttons, five in each row. Nevertheless the soft sash belts, with tasseled ends and carelessly tied,are move popular. i For evening wear, as well as for bonnets. laree flowers are the style. Marsh ; mallows in many shades are arranged in large bundles and placed in different 1 parts of the skirts and in the hair. Very large pansies are also used, their purple anil yellow tints corresponding well with the fashionable colors?gold and i heliotrope. Skirts are still drawn as much back as ever. Very small pullings are over the ' hips and lather larger ones are in the buck, on the lower part of tht skirt and bust. All walking-dresses are short or : jast clear the ground. Petticoats are 1 trimmed with plaited flouncts, winch I are not starched; even those on the i trains lor evening dnssos are left unstiffened. Small lace caps with beads, intermixed or wholly covered with jet, are worn more than ever. Lost year they consisted of a plain collar made of beads, they are now a kind of tulle garment completely covercd with jet work and fringe. This is a convenient and becoming style, and can be worn with the plainest waists. Ethiopian Minstrelsy. Ethiopian minstrelsy, as it is commonly called, is not nearly so popular as it was twelve or fifteen years ago, says a New York paper; the public nave been somewhat satiated with its extravagances and sham negroisms. The kind of minstrelsy we have to-day is very unlike that of the past, being more refined and strictly musical than of yore. This sort of amusement once raged in all the cities and towiui of the country, and had an extraordinary run for a quarter of a century. It is nearly forty years since the first troupe was formed here, and it is remarkable that i most of the leading minstrels Lave, notwithstanding their pecuniary prosperity, died very poor. The burnt-cork per lormers Have been prone to rapia courses, and have used up their financial acd physical substance prematurely. Edwin P. Christy, who was the pioneer, founded the original Christy mmistrels at Buffalo in 1841, and played at Mechanics' hall in this city for several years to crowded audiences. He made $150,000 at the business, and finally committed suicide, alter losing almost every thing,by leapin g from a third-siory window. His putative son, George N. Christy (Harrington,) was j the first representative of female parts, such as Lucy Long and Lucinda at the soiree; had a large salary and managed several companies successfully, but he died here in great poverty. Dan Bryant (O'Brien,) of Bryant's minstrels, the most noted ol the three brothers, began in 1850, played for twenty years, made a fortune, and got entirely rid of it. After his death benefits were given and subscriptions taken up for the support of his lamily. W. W. Newcomb (Combs,) author of the burlesque lecture on W U ill) 111 & liquid illiu litliCL I'U^Uiai *11/surdities, member of the once very successful firm of Rumsey & Newcomb, visited England and Germany professionally, had a showy cottage nt Saratoga and cut a grand dgure in his way. He ran through his money, was obliged to depend on a salary as a subordinate performer and came to his end here in penury. The expenses of his illness and burial were borne by his former agent, N. N. Roberts. H. S. Ramsey, Lis former partner, a famous buffoon and banjoist, went up and down also. Hating been paralyzed, he was taken care of by relatives at Newburgh, on the Hudson, and was aided by his fellow-showmen until the dose ol his wretched days. Sam Sharpley (Sh-irpe,) distinguished as a jester and end man, proprietor of Sharpley's minstrels, known as theironI clads, a great card in his day, made ducks and drakes of his large earnings by petroleum speculations, patents and other ventures, and died at Providence, R. I. G. Swaine Buckley, of Buckley's j serenaders, u very versatile performer, ; and creator of burlesque opera, played i in New York season after season to I thronged houses. He gained and lost a ! fortune, went into bankruptcy, started ] again, and again failed. lis died at Quincy, Mass.. last year, almost penniless. Eph Horn, of great note in variI ous troupes in his day, commanded big salaries, but was so improvident that members of the calling had to bury him in one of the metropolitan cemeteries. Billy Manning, of Emerson & Manning's company, an eccentric delineator, tilled his purse and emptied it, and when he went to his grave in Chi ago his friends paid for his funeral. BilJy Morris, of Morris Brothers, mimic and vocalist, let all nis profits slip through his fingers drifted into a lunatic asylum, was pro- j vided lor by his brotheis untii Boston j furnished him with six feet of earth, j William II. De'ehanty was one of the | last of the negro comedians to lie buried ! by his guild, and yet ne had earned for j years $300 a week as dancer and binger. j J He was the author of the popular trifle, "Shoo Fly." Nearly ail the ways of the Ethiopian minstrel seem to iead ?>o j prodigality, dissipation and the need of j sepultural benevolence. i Bismarck's Dog, A London correspondent of thePhila1 delphia Times telis the following story about Bismarck's dog: The other day 1 turn Holpirntoa from Aitnnn. plinrirr>H ' with presenting a petition, were received by Bismarck. The chancellor " sat in his rocking clmir, the "Realm Dog" stretched on the carpet, whiletlie ' delegates took th^ir seats facing his ' highne-s. One of the delegates held a roll of paper in his right hand, and, be: ing an energetic speaker accustomed to ' emphasize his arguments by gesticula- ! tion, he waved his scroll about while j addressing Bismarck, disregardful of the I fact that his movements elicitca several ' ; successive disapproving utterances from 1 the watchful hound; whereupon Bis* marck, hastily interrupting his inter- | locutor's remarks, exclaimcd: "J)oj out down that scroll, I beg of you. My dog, like myself, entertains a profound | aversion to every kind of paper. He believes It to be a weapon!" It is needless to add that the delegates promptly complied with this request, obviously to the satisfaction of the dog. which at once subsided into a peaceful attitude. The annual meeting of the board of' missions of the Methodist Episcopal, church South was recently hold at JNaSDVlllf. Jit ic}iuru.-?i Limb me if ceiptsof the year were ?129,713, an increase of $17,102 over the previous year. The amount appropriated for the coming year was $121,24H, of which $30,248 goes to China, $12,600 to the Mexican missions, $3,900 to Brazil, ami $10,000 to the Indian mission. The rest is devoted to home missions. A STEAMBOAT IN FLAMES. Deitructlon of a Steamboat on the East River. New York, by Jt'Ire, and Horrl fylns Death of Many Pngnengerg. The following account is given by th' New York papers of the burning of th steamer Seawanhaka, which runs fron New York to Glen Cove, on Long Islam Sound. The number of lives lost canno accurately be stated, hut is about fifty A tew were burned to death, but th< most were drowned: The Seawanaka had the reputation o: being one of the fastest boats runnini out of New York harbor. At 4:1; o'clock in the afternoon she started fron her wharf at Peck slip with her color flying. The Seawanhaka went up th East river under a full head of steam and about 4:45 reached Hallett's Point Suddenly a cloud ot smoke came uj through the grating near the pilot house, and it was at first thought that i came from the engine-room, and had n< special significance. Immediately after ward tlames were seen arounu me phul bouse. Captain Charles P. Smith wa in the wheel-house, and seeing the dan fer turned his vessel toward Ward' sland, intending to beach her there Somebody cried "The ship's on fire!' and a panic started. A rush wai made for the lockers in which th< life preservers were kept. Most o the men retained their presence o mind and helped the officers of tin steamer in supplying the women anc children with life-preservers. Captaii Smith shouted from the wheel-house t< the passengers to keep order, and his as sistants tried to restore order and wen assisted by many of the passengers. Thi crew meanwhile got the fire extin guishers and turned the streams on thi blazing woodwork, but to little pur pose. The fire spread aft along the por! side toward where the passengers wen standing and drove them forward. Or the starboard side there was still aspaci which the fire had not touched. Aion; this narrow space the passengers hur ried to the forward part of the boat. B] this time all hope of saving the vesse I1.1H nhRndoned. and those or board anxiously watched the spot when Captain Smith intended to ground hi; vessel. The moment he realized tha the fire could not be extinguished Captain Smith had ordered his boat! lowered, and had headed the vesse. under a full head of steam toward the shallow water at the northern end oJ Ward's Island. The steamer Granit< State was behind the Seawanhaka wlier slw caught fire, and many of the pas' senders who jumped overboard wcr< picked up by this vessel. The tug Refuge. of the emigration department, Gen oral Newton's steam launch,and a scon nf row boats, which surrounded tin Seawanhaka.

Severa of t!ie passengers remained on the Sea v anhaka until they were driven awa; by the flames; one man and a chile held on to the guard rail until it wa burned away, and they then fell into th< river. Mr. C. A. Dana, the editor of thi New York Sui, Doctor Draper, hii son-in-law, and Mr. S. L. M.

As I passed directly amid ships I saw smoke issuing through thi cracks of the main saloon leading fron Ihe engine-room to the pilot-house. ! then knew that the boat was afire, ant I rushed to the Long Island side of tin boat to see what chances there wer< for saving my friends if the worse cami to the worse. I noticed that the cap tain was steering the Seawanhaka t< the Granite City which was coming up and was lying to. At the same moment I saw a thin, long, white tongue o; flame shoot up to the upper decks, knew then that the Granite City coult not assist us. The Granite City evi dently flruessed as much, for she turne* around, and the Seawanhaka was gon( I sprang to the New York side of tb boat. This was at the moment th Seawanhaka was just between Randall' Island and Ward's Island. At ths vf-ry moment the flames shot upwarc and the boat was afire. A great num be of male passengers at this very mom en came running up to the bow cf the boal Many of them seemed frantic, and a' had liie-preservers on. At that tim the men passengers who had life-pre servers began jumping into the watei and swimming to shore They kep stesrine the boat to the bar opposit Randall's Island. There the water is low and the bar is covered with grass A the Seawnnliaka touched the bar th flames burst all over the boat, am before l knew it I wassurrounded b lire. Then it was that 1 sprang over board. Just as I did so, an old lady, th mother of the fieiglit clerk, ran up to i gentleman and exclaimed: 'For God sake, sir; help mo. 1 am old, and can not save myself.' The gentleman pushei her back, saying: 'Thisisnotamomtn to save; it is every one for himself,' an< lie leaped overboard. I called out to th old lady: 'If you will jump overboar< I will save you.' Her dress at tha moment was afire. She jumped inti the water at tbo very moment I did, an* I caught her. I was swimming to shor with her when one of the oflicera of th boat came toward me and we Lndei her safely. After resting a few minutes being a good swimmer, 1 took off nr clothes and, with two life preservers, swam back to the bofit. When I go there I saw a young lady standing wit! her father on the burninc steamer. I was the same one we had noticed com ing aboard leading him. She wa shrieking: 'Save my father! Save nv ) oor father.' She had her arm aroum his neck, but beseemed to cling firmi; to a pillar. It was the mo?t heartrend ins eight I ever witnessed. The old mai ching io the post, while his daught<> tncti ail sue couiu to arag mm away At that very moment she seemed to b Mirrounaed by lire, and the old man' <1 tiling was burning, lie sermci paralyzed and unable to move. I am others ealled to the girl to jump into th water, that we would save both. Sli did not seem to know what to do, unti at last her dress caught lire. Shespran; at her father, kissed him, and a momen alter she struck the side of the boat, an< fc 11 limp in the water. I caught her b; the hair and struck out. I got assist ance, but as we turned to the boat w< saw the poor old man still there. Tin man who was assisting me threw uj his hands and went down. I got tin jLfiii'g lady ashore, and she was a once taken to the Randall's Lslant hospital. She did not see be.- fathei di.-'.-ippear. I swam again to the boat This time I found a lady throwing U] Ik r bands, and caught hold of her, and wj h assistance, took her to shore. I)r Carroll, of Randall's Island, swam ou Mid picked up a child. The poor littli thing was dead and terribly burned Among the. fust I saw die were tw< little children, who were running in the main cabin with their clothing ablaze Some one threw them into the water find I know they were lost."

He said: 41 ] was in the after saloon. The first] knew, flames burst from the lore star board gangway. I tried to quiet tin women, for I supposed the boat would b< run ashore, but I think now the captaii did not dare put her against the rocki wliic'i lined that part ol the channel i'ho wind blew the heat and smoke aft and we were finally forced to go over" V board. I found a rope, one end of which Ly I threw overboard, and climbing down " allowed myself to be towed in the water. " This was some time before the vessel was grounded. I saw Mr. Dubois, of Sea Cliff, holding on one of the braces, jn; e Near him was Mr. Post, of Great Neck, bu 0 The boat burned iike tinder. The flames ? completely divided the boat in two 01 J parts. I think there must have been 00 1 four or five hundred on board, and it 9eems to me that I saw two or three , s hundred in the water altogether. Some . had life-preservers and some had not. in 1 The crew and Captain Smith behaved j; nobly. A deckhand called Dennis and i; & a colored man named Nathan, and Mr. p( 1 Field and Superintendent Kirk were es- th 3 pecially cool. The Granite State, a gi B Hartford steamboat, hovered around 14 us." Charles Abeel, one of the firemen of ai J the boat, was found on the pier at the " foot of Peck slip, from which the Sea1 wanhaka started at 4:15 o'clock in the th 3 afternoon. He said: "We made our in * landing at the foot of Thirty-third " 3treet at 4:30 o'clock, and it was about sh 3 fifteen minutes later when we reached w g Little Hell liate. i was suiing in u? k]wing or port gangway after^ having cr ? started the bilge pump, when I heard a u 3 noise, and on looking around saw flames cc e coming oat of the fire-room.

We were just off Randall's Island, j and running forward I shouted to the th j captain, who was at the wheel, to head 01 j her lor the shore, but he shouted back . that he conld not. I then ran into the 5 cabins forward and urged the steward , ; and passengers to save themselves. u. I They did not suspect the vessel was , on fire then, as no smoke v I flame was blown in that direc- " j. tion. At that time the wood- m, , work of the vessel about her center was in' l burning like tinder, and the flames gri , were spreading toward both ends of the * *- Ti*- -?* ??MAUauIM AU/\U4 4-lirflfl r Doau xuertj were piuuauij auuui wiv<. . hundred persons on board. Men were . jumping from the hurricane deck into W j the water, and a large number of fright- sc l ened children and women were huddled wi ; near the siern of the boat. I climbed nc ; over the rail near the bow, and several ? men almost jumped upon me before I ** took to the water to save myseif. I J found a life-preserver floating near me, ^ i and was going to put it on when a man as , clutched h, and I, knowing I could i;| \ swim and thinking he could not, let m 3 him have it and swam for Ward's Bn [ Island, which I reached, and then . helped min a boat and assisted in pick- M , ing up the passengers in the water. The Seawanhaka was finally beached, J* ! but soon burnt to the water's w , edge. Captain Charles P. Smith th ^ was at the wheel, and stuck to r his post to the last. Ilis face and J* ( body were badly burned. Small boats Je fc cnme to tbe regcue from every direction. ?? The steamboats Granite State, bound i for Hartford, the Osseo, the Minnehan- M f nock and the Sylvan Glen had boats dr . manned and sent to our assistance. I Many of the children on board had their 1( j clothing catch fire, and some of them . were severely burned. A lamp which p t I carried in my hand into the tank-room, fj [ which is back of the fire-room, ana sep3 arated by a board partition, I brought ^ 3 back into the fire-room and put it down. I am sure the fire could not have origi5 nated from the lamp, as the oil would in j not explode nor burn without a wick. Engineer Weeks put on a full head ' of steam, I am told, in response lo j to a signal from the captain, and then cn climbed up among the machinery and Cft was seen standing on the upper deck trying to raise the valve so that the fi( steam could escape and an explosion be ? averted. We never carried over thirty- at ' four pounds of steam. Engineer Weeks' jj] ^ son was a fireman on the boat, and at w 3 the time the fire started was watching hi 1 the steam and water indicators. The " only members of the crew I understand hi are uiissing is Josiah Hasbrouck. the pi ] cook, and nis grandson, Charles Has- It [ brouck, who was employed on the boat. I* ? We had a crew of about four deck' han?s, one deck-boy, an engineer, two ll( 1 firemen, the captain, a clerk, a wheels- 01 1 man,a superintendent^ porter, a Stewart h| ' and the cook. The crew did their duty re ? and few of them lost their presence of h, mind. You can imagine how cool they 1 were when the clerk, who was collect- c \ ing fare3, as soon as he realized the boat u was on fire, returned to his oflice and bi J secured all the money he had left there, fc | Among our passengers were Richard 1 O'Gorman ana one or two of the Har- J1,1 ' pers?I mean the publisher.*. The ' vessel burned like tinder after once A 1 the flames started. Some of the sights u * were pitiful. Morris, our porter, saw a 3 child lying on its back and was goint' to S( ^ jump overboard to save it, when s Iran- di " tic woman clutched his arm, and saying: aj s " You are a strong man and I a woman [ without any friends on board. For God's Jt | sake help me." He left the child to its " : fate,I believe, and saved the woman. The f only one of the Seawanhaka's boats got ' out was one which liad a canvas fast3 enedoverit. A ftor the canvas was got d( " off, the body of a chiM about two years q ' old was found lying ia some water in ni ? the bottom of the boat. Nobody 0f i seemed to know how it got there. After ?
