Oommodore Vanderbilt is one of the

New York He began hfe a penni1es
boy lEFe took to the w -ter early He
began life on his own account by row-
ing a hoat from Staten Island. to this
ci1y. He took comrnand of a Norlh
River - steamboat when quite , youl.ig,
axLd was distrnguished at the stait foi
iiis i esohite, rndomitable and daiinq

by chai tering stea.mboats, and running
opposition to all the ola 1ine, up the
North iRiver, up the East Itirer, up the
Conneclieut Rivet, eveiywhei e Mak-

stoGks whieh weie available for cash,
and always ready for a barga.in. Hon-
oi able m ti ade, proni pt, fn. ni and reli-
able, 1'e was decided iii business, and
could drive as hard a bargai.n as any
maii rn the city, His cwtom lias been
to. conduct hl!s businss on the cash
priieiple, and never allow a Saturday
night fo elo',e without every man in his
employ getting his money Ifanybody
-ras about to fail, wanted money, had
a bai gam to offei, he new whei e to ca]l
Nothilng ca&ne amiss. Aload oflumb-

for hiscoiifidential clerk. He sees per-
sonaily all who call, rising to greet the
oorner, and se1doin. sits till the busines

for this he wculd be overrun and bored
to death. : Elis long connectiou wilh

have patents, inventions ancl improve-

If a maii has anything to sell, he settles
the contr&t in a vey few words. The
visibor addresses tbe coinmonore, a.nd
says, "I have a stock ofgoods for .sale 1:

goods, go andget it" Nota mon'ent
of time will be wasted, not a oent more

the hooe of getting a better pi ice and
returns to take the first offer, he wifl

enough out of th atteinpt tD iuin hun,
to pay for all the stock heowned in the
Harlem road; -:
W hei lie flrt got possessioi of tlie
Hariem; there was a strong feeling of
hostility manifested against him by the
Hudon. River road. The comrnodore
was snubhed by the aristocracy thal
dbntiolled the Hucison Jt was a grat
political machine, ruled by a ring. He
tolcl the managers to be civil or iie
would rnake them trembe. Tie manag-
ers aughed at the jiea. The 1rst
tbing they knew, at one of their aunu-
a1 meetings, was, that Sami. Sloane, tbe
old president, was turnecl ou&, and To-
bin, Vanderbilt's right hand man, :put
in 6 is 1)lace. From that hour to this,
Vanderbii bas controlled . &oth the
Hudson and the Hariem roads Tob18
soon ecame unmindful of tbe power
that made him. He refused to ohey
the dictation of his chief, and, confident
o' his position. et np for himselt He
assoon rernoved, and Mr.Vanderbiit's
son, Wm. H, put in his piaoe.
Not sat:sfied with his achievernent
�ti the land and on the rivers, Mr.Vau-
c1trbi1t resulved to try the ocean. He
built a fine steamer at his owncost, and
and equij5ped her completely. The
Collins line was then in its giory. Mr.
Ooliins, with his fine fleet nf stoamers
ard his subsidy from the government,
he was. greutly elated and very imperi-
ous. It was quite di.fficulb ±0 approach
him. Any- clay, on tbe arrival af a
steamer, he couicl be seen pacing the
dock, the browcl failing back; and mak-
ing space for the tread of the impirtant
personage. . One of his ships was lost.
Vandeibilt apphed o Oolhns to allo'w
his steamer to take the piace vacant on
the line for a time. lIe promised to
make no claun for the subsid, and to
take off bis ship as soon as OoiIins
built one w take her place Oolhns
refused to do this. I[e was afraid if.
Vanderbilt got his footinto tIiIS o�an
business, he woulcl get in his wbole
body. • If Vanderbilt couid run an oce-
an steamship without subidy, govern-
ment would require 0oUiito d� it
He saw only nnschief any way )Je
not oniy refused, but refused rery cnrt-
ly.. in the sharp way hat Vanderbilt
has of speaking when he is inacl, he
told Ooliins Ibathe would rtn his line
off the ocean. if it 'took all of bis own
fortune and.the years of his life. Jie
commeneed his oppoition in a mannel
that made it irresistable, and a work of
seort duration. IIe ofi'erea the govern-
.iieut to catry the muls fot a. tetin of
