W-.?t to the Metropolis Grew to Be ai Very Successful 3I?rehant-ni? tfUe** Share ia His Great Success. A good example of how* fortunes are made in New York city is afforded hy? the life and business operations of Mil? lard Fillmore Tompkins, who died at the age of thirty-ni^e Jears. Mr. Tompkins tras almost penniless when, a mere boy, be first came to this city. He understood his business, however, and he had the courage to strike out into a new path. The result was that building his busi? ness np little by little he died worth |000,000. To his wife, fally as much as to himself, this success is due, and Mr. Tompkins was always the first to ac? knowledge this. When Mr. Tompkins was fourteen years old he ran away from the home where he was bom, at Newport, R. I., and came to this city, with the* usual i resolve of making a fortune for him- j self. He had ten dollars in his pocket when he started. This, with what i knowledge of groceries he had picked "Bp at the markets near his home, consti tilted his stock in trade. Naturally on leashing the city he drifted to the gro? cery districts, and got work as clerk in a grocery store on Catharine street. The proprietor of the store at first paid '? the lad barely enough to keep him alive, J but realizing that young Tompkins was getting so thorongh a knowledge of the j trade as to make him valuable he raised his wages very soon. Instead of living in accordance with his increased means, Tompkins contin? ued to live in the same manner as be? fore, pntting aside all his surplus money : for the purpose of buying a horse and track. A picture of him taken shortly after his fifteenth birthday looks more Hke that of a man of twenty-eight than a young boy. He was then tali and well developed, witTi ? good sized mustache . and '"sideburns." It was more than two j years before the young clerk had saved enough to buy such a horse and truck j as he wanted. When at length he went ! into the suck business he made money ?0 rapidly that at the end of two years fee was enabled to sell out and establish a retail grocery store in Spring street, sear Clinton market. It had been his idea since his arrival in New York to own a grocery store. There were at that time no cheap cash i down groceries in the city. Tompkins made np his mind that there was money ta be made in a purely cash business, with a cheap scale of prices for trade among the poorer people. Following ?at this idea he increased his business to such an extent that he soon moved to a j larger store, and then to a still larger one. Within two years after the pur? chase of his first store Mr. Tompkins, now twenty-one years old, bought out the large grocery at Spring and Sullivan streets, and hired another building for a storehouse near by. It was about this time that he met Mina Josephine Coop? er, of 27 Charlton street. Hefell in love with her, and after a short courtship, notwithstanding that Miss Cooper was only sixteen years old, they were mar? ried. From that time on Mr. Tompkins had a partner in his business as well as in his life. "Jon ?0 on and eztend the business," said young Mrs, Tompkins to her hus? band. **I can manage the Spring street store while yr?u look after the general malted" And s!*e did. With a school knowledge of figures and bookkeeping asbe went into the Spring street stoie, mastered the business in every detail, rand alone and unaided has conducted it 'opto the present time in such a manner ,as to make it the mott successful estab? lishment owned hy Mr. Tompkins. The business spread steadily, new stores be -ing established in Bleecker street, Ninth and Sixth avenues. ;astd in other places in this city and Jersey City, until at the time of his death Mr. Tompkins owned .eleven retail stores, besides the two ^wholesale^stablishments at ?'?-61 Ganse voort-street. From the first Mr. Tompkins stuck by his principles of cash, payments. He discounted all bis bills, and thus was able to buy where others could not, dealers who were in need of ready money often coming to him in prefer? ence to others, as they knew that they could get cash for their goods. It was his idea to drop gradually his retail trade and go into the wholesale busi? ness entirely. The care of so many es? tablishments was wearing on him, but he absolutely refused to let any one else take part in toe management. **I have built np the business and I will run it," he said. "I want no part? ners or managers to tell me what to do. When I want advice I can go to my wife. I would rather have her judg? ment on matters connected with the grocery business than that of any man faa New York. I have been guided al? ways by her advice, and to her fully as much, if not more than to myself, the ! success of our business is due."- ^ew j York Sun. j Ko iv Sullivan Compose* ?>Iasie. Sir Arthu* Sullivan, the composer, was rec&Etly asked where he was able to compose best, ami under what cir? cumstances his ideas flowed most freely. He replied that there was no place ?n which he had so many inspirations as in a railway carriage. Then- is some- j thing in the rapidity of the motion, in the clanging of the iron and in the whir? ring of the wheels which seems to ex- j cite his imagination and supplies mate? rial for a host of harmonies.-London Star. _ To Predict a Storm. By placing two iron bars at seven or eight yards distance front each other, and putting: them in communication on ! sue side by an insulated wire and on th?? j other side with a telephone, it is said that a storm can be predicted twelve hours j ahead through a certain dead sound j beard in the receiver. - Philadelphia ?edger. j Ho j al Persons WboOnn American Land. According to the information and be? lief of a wid6 awake member of the Beal Estate exchange, nearly all of the foreign potentates are investors in New York real estate. He declares that th*> purchase of a valuable piece of property in Nassau street, made about a year ago by a foregn banking house, was an in? vestment of Queen Victoria's. "The queen owns cth'-r rea J estate in this city," said the well posted mau, "and she has bought thousands of acres of land out west. Tho royal family of Germany has extensive investments in this city ?nd elsewhere, and so has the king of" Sweden, The ex-Empress Isa? hella of Spain owns several pieces of property in this city and in other parts of the United States. She is a woman of great foresight. The land on which the Western Union building stands was once the property of the Empress Eu genie, and I presume that she still has j ?ome investments here. ^King Humbert of Italy is reputed to ? be a judicious buyer of property in this j country, and persons suspected of being agents of the'czaf of Rnssia have been loolnng about o? tnis side of the-water forr^?a^elas3 investments. I tell you those f?eop?e who are in the king busi? ness M&?^pe are shrewd. They can ?O^?S^Sw soon they may be shaken off their thrones by political revolutions, and they meando have something to fall back on inj&is land of the free. How much ?gat?er off Dom Pedro would have been fW?e had invited a few millions of Brazilian money ft?pfe,several years ago." -New York Times. Comr?: uiiicating with Paris. The methyls employed by the Parisian autl?orities for communicating with the provinces during the siege of Paris were persevering and ingenious. The princi? pal means of sending letters was by bal? loons and carrier pigeons, but many other plans were tried. It was almost impossible fora messenger to get through the German lines. Even when other difficulties could be overcome the dan? ger of a search and a discovery of the dispatch was great. Many of the messengers made incisions in the skin and hid a dispatch under the epidermis. Others provided themselves with hollow ten centime pieces or hol? low keys, which could be opened like a box and in which dispatches could be . hidden. One was accustomed to hide his dispatch under an artificial hollow tooth. These dispatches of course were written in cipher, and covered only a fragment of paper. Attempts were made to cross the enemy's lines by following the caves and natural tunnels under the left branch of the Seine, and by diving and crossing the bed of the river in diving suits, but these plans failed. A curious scheme was the putting of letters into little hollow spheres of zinc, and throwing these spheres into the Seine or its tributaries, hoping that they would float to Paris. They did float to Paris, but not until after the armistice. It was supposed that they were stopped by dams, or that they were discovered and held back by the Germans until the siege was at an end.-Youth's Compan? ion. Orijjfn of "Lynch Law." Webster's Dictionary, title "Lynch law,*' says: "The practice of punishing men for crimes or offenses by prirater unauthorized persons, without a legal trial. The term is said to be derived from a Virginia farmer named Lynch, who thus took the law into his own hands." These are the main facts in re? gard to the origin of this celebrated .'law," which, as a matter of fact, is not "law" at all. In Campbell county, Va., some of the rankest and most obnoxious Tories were taken care of by law, but there were many others not reacliable by the statu? tory enactment. This being the case, Colonel Charles Lynch, Colonel Robert Anderson., his brother-in-law, and one Galloway, a neighbor, determined to rid their part of the county of its enemies. They accordingly seized the leaders of the several Tory factions and flogged them so severely that they were only too glad of the chance offered them to "leave, and leave for good." This summary treatment having proved so effectual in Campbell county, it was soon tried in othercounties where King George had the strongest follow? ing. Such procedures soon became known as "trials by Judge Lynch," and the justice" obtained in such courts as "Lynch law."-St. Louis Republic. Universality of the Sign Langrua^e. It is a fact worth? noting that the signs used by the Indians of North America are identical in may instances with those employed by the deaf mutes of tcxlay. A short time ago a friend of the writer, who had spent considerable time among the Indians, but who had never talked with a dea/ mute before, conversed witb some pupils of tue New York institution by means of signs which he had learned feom the red men. "Where are you go? ing*'* as? '*! am gwng away on horse? back f-f were the same when given by the 3eaf mute* and by tbe visitor. Another instrmco showing the sign language to bo a universal one was when the mother of the writer, herself a deaf person, while attending a con? vention of instructors of the deaf in France, conversed on various topics with a mute friend by means of signs. The French lady had no knowledge of the English language, while the Ameri? can knew hardly a word of French. Scribner's. An Experienced A rf ist.
