Among the places he visited was the great Kast India house, and the warehouses aud offices of the com- pany. On one occasion he asked one of the porters what the name of the governor was. The man replied, giving a German name very familiar to Mr. Astor, who then asked if the governor was an Englishman, and was told that he had come from Germany when a boy. Mr. Astor thereupon determined to see him, and watching for an opportunity, sent - in his name and was admitted. On en- tering he asked the governor, *‘Is not your name Wilhelm? “Did you not go to school in such a town?’ The governor replied: ‘T did; and now I remember you very well.” A long conversation followed, old school days were talked over, and the governor insisted that Mr. Astor should dine with him. He declined for that day, but on the next dey they met again. He asked Mr. Astor if there was nothing he could do for him, Mr Astor said no; he had bought all he wanted, and noeded neither cash nor credit. They met several times after that, and the Zov- ernor ° continued urging Mr. Astor to name something he could do for him. He asked what present would be acceptable, and Mr. Aster declined accepting any. Their last meeting took place two days before the sailing of the vessel on which Mr. Astor was to return to New York, and for the last time the governor asked him if he would accept any present he made him. Mr. Astor, seeing the anxiety of the governor, replied, “yes.” The governor, who was much affected at parting with his old Ger- man schcolmate, handed Mr. Astor two papers, saying: ‘‘Take these, you may find their value.” One of the documents was simply a Cantori price current. The other was a carefully engrossed permit or parchment, authorizing the ship that bore it to trade freely and without molestation, at any of the ports unmonopolized by the East In- dia company. Mr. Astor returned to New York, withouat giving the docu- ments a second thought. He hud mo ships and never had any trade with the East Indies, and at that time never expected to have. He then, of oourse, little imagined that the parch- ment would be the foundation of vast shipping cperations and a trade amounting to millions of dollars and embracing the Pacific ocean, The permit was No. 68. On arriv- ing home Mr, Astor showed the doc- ument to his wife and asked her adviee a8 he always did in matters relating to business, as to what disposition he should make of them. ‘I have no ships; it is no uee to us,” he said. At that time there was in New York a merechant named James Livermore, who was largely engaged in the West Tudian trade, particularly with Jamai- ca. He owned several vessels, some of them a good size, and Mrs. Astor advised her husband to go and have a talk with him. Mr. Astor went, showed the East Indian company ship pass and the Canton prices current, and “Now,” said he, “if you will imake up a voyage of one of your dargest ships, you can have the pass and the prices eurrent on one condi- tion: You are to furnish the ship and eargo, but T am te have one-half the prafits tor my pase and for suggesting the voyage.” The West Indiz merchant laughed at the propo- sition, and would not listen to such a one-gided operation. Mr. Astor re- turned home, reported progress, and fora time the matter rested. Mr. Livermore, however, thought it over. At that time no vessels traded to Canton from New York. The revolu- tionary war had just ended, and the East India ports were as hermetically sealed to American commerce as if it had not existed. Only a few weeks elapsed before Mr. Livermore called at Mr. Astor's store and asked: ‘Were you in earnest the ather day when you showed me the pass of the East India company?’ “T was never more s0,” was the prompt reply, and again they talked or the matter. Mr. Livermore final- wu4ht he saw his way clear, and 4 ant was gi A which the profits, and Mr. Livermore to fur- nish vessel and cargo, The ship was selected and loaded partly with specie, Spanish milled dollars, about 30,000; and the other half was ginseng, a root somewhat resembling licorice, which is highly valued as a medicine by the Chinese, and lead and scrap iron, The ship sailed for Canton, and the pass enabled her to anchor at Whampoa, a few miles below that city, and she loaded and unloaded her cargo the same as if she had been a vessel be- longing to the Epst India company. The ginseng, which cost twenty cents per pound in New York,was sold for §3.50 per pound in Canton. The lead and scrap iron also bronght enormous prices. The vessel was then loaded with tea and sold in New York at 81 they became very wealthy she de- manded, as an _expert, 8500 an hour for using her judgment and knowledge of fur to promote his commercial plans; and he paid her whatever sho asked. - Honorable Mention. Of all the remedies on earth that well may claim attention, Dr. THomAs' Ec) anie O1t commands especial mention, For wondrous power to cure cisease, its fame there’s none 1o throttle, Its merits are not in the puff, but are inside the bottle. Rheumatism, neuralgia, sore thioat, asth- ma, is, diphtheria, etc,, are all cured by Thomas' Ecectric Oil, 21-1w et iy Vanderbilt's Wealt! A correspondent sends the follow- ing calculations with regard to the re- puted wealth of William H. Vander- bilt: Estimating it at $300,000,000, to count it, at the rate of $2 each sec- ond and in ten hours a day, it would take 11 years, 151 days, 5 hours, and 40 minutes. In gold it would weigh 781 tons and 500 pounds, requiring a train of 79 cars of 10 tons capacity to move it: 1 silver. 10,714 tons and 571 pounds, requiring 1,072 cars for its transportation. In §1 bills, lying lengthwise in a continuous line, it would re ch 34,919 miles, 162 rods, and 7 foet, or entirely around the globe and along its diamer with 1,919 miles, 162 rods, and 7 feet to spare, or more than one-seventh of the distance from our -planet to the moon. If laid “‘widthwise,” these $1 bills would reach 14,500 miles, 151 rods, and 8 feet, or from New York city to more than 30 miles beyond Cheyenne, added to half the ecircum- forence of the globe. In $1 bills it would spread a _carpet 103 feet and 3 inches wide and 86 miles long; a car- riage-drive 4 feet and 11 inches wide and over 1,806 miles long; or a com- fortable promenade 2 feet and 53 inches in width, and more than 3,612 miles in length. In $20 gold picces, lying side by side, it would construct a sidewaik 43 inches wide, but a few rods” short of 10 miles long; in silver dollars, lying contiguous, a boulevard 100 feet wide and 8% mules in length.

Kor the past two years the publish- ers of this paper huve given to the subscribers of Tue WeEkLYy Bge the best line of premiums as inducements to subscription whieh have ever been offered by any newspaper in the coun- try. The plan has proved a success. Tt has given universal satisfaction to the patrons of the paper, and has in- creased the subscription list to a de- gree far above the expectations of its publish ers, Many patrons of THe DaiLy Bee have asked why we do not offer them the same inducements held out to sub- scribers of Tur WeekLy Bee, Inre- sponse to the inquiry we make the following offer: Each subscriber to Tue DatLy Beg who pays his arrears of subscripion and remits pro-pay- ment for six months and every new subscriber who remits pre-payment for six mouths will be entitled to one of the premiums mentioned in our list. These premiums will be dis- tributed in the same impartial man- ner which marked our first and second distributions. This scheme was first devised to collect subscriptions in arrears from patrons of Tue WeEkLY Bee. Its suc- ceus exceeded our expectations, We have now no back collections on our weekly edition, have established the prepayment system, quadrupled our circulation and correspondingly en- haneed the valus of o udverticing space, A number of subscribers to Tug Dainy Bek are now in arrears, and if by an extension of the same plan we can induce them to pay the amount due us, we can well afford to make this liberal offer. By this meaus we hope to still further increase the large list of Tre DasLy Beg, and having established the prepayment system we propose to naintain it, a8 we are doing with our Weekly edi- tion, To those who are not familiar with our plan of distribution or the manner $20,000. And yet it was a paying in- vestment for us, and gave general satisfaction to our patrons: What grew out ot a desire to collect back pay has developed into a new and practical idea. {\'u have discov- ered that we can afford to make our subscribers sharers in the income of the paper from advertising. In other words we can afford to divide the ad- vertising patronage of the paper with its subscribers, inasmuch as the income from advertising grows with the in- creased circulation. Advertising space in Trk Beg that was worth one hun- dred dollars five years ago will com- madd one thousand dollars to-day This fall more goods and machinery have been offered us in exchange for advertising than we could accept in view of the limited space we devote for that purpose. What we have con- tracted for makes the grandest and most varied list that has ever been offered for distribution by any news- paper, and that too without paying a aollarin money. The only outlay in cash we expect to incur in connection with these premiums will be for post- age and expressage. This explains exactly Liow we procure our premiums and why we can give away property of 80 much value. All the premiums 1n our list are worth at retail just what we represent them. In contracting with manufac- turers and wholesale dealers we accept them only at wholesale rates, but that does not lessen their value to those who receive them Tue BEE has for years stood in the front rank of newspapers west of the Mississippi, and to-day circulates more extensively than any paper west of Chicago and north of St. Louis. A large number of eastern people who desire to procure a far western paper, with a view of acquiring reliable in- formation about the resources and de- selves of the opportunity now offered been under one management pursuing a course that has established for it pub- licconfidence at home and a wide reputation abroad, Tse BEE could not afford to engage in any undertaking that was not conducted fairly and hon- estly. The'distribution in 1880 and 1881 gave general satisfaction to our subscribers. Tho coming distribution will be mude mn the same impartial manner, by a committee whom the subscribers present may sele¢t from their own number, and in such man- ner as they think fair and equitable, Last year all the premiums gave good satisfaction, excepting some engrav- ings which were not appreciated. This year no engravings, maps or pictures have beer placed among the prem- iums, Our old patrons need no assurance from us of the reliability and stability of Tue Beg, nordo we need to inform them that the principles it advocates, and the fearloss defense it make in behalt of the producers, makes it al- most indispensible to the industrial classes of the great west. No intelligent person would expect that every subscriber will receive a $650 thresking machine, a 8500 pi- ano, a 8300 harvester, or a §160 or- gan, but all have an equal chance in the distribution. Each subscriber that pays up hisar- rears and repays another year, and every new subscriber that remits pre- payment for one year, will receive a premium worth at least One Dollar at retail. As a matter of fact, Tur OmanA WeekLy Beg is worth the subscription price, Two Dollars a year, to uveW faamer; mechanic or merchant. ithout boasting, we as- sert that no weekly paper, east or west, can compare with it in variety and choice selections, general news, interesting correspondence, and no other paper in America contains as much far western news, ranging from the Pacific coast to the Mississippi river. With the proof of good faith and honeet dealing before them in the numerous acknowledgments we pub- likh, we can safely entor upon our en- larged undertaking of this year, con- fidently belieying that its success will be mutuslly satisfactory and advan- tageous, E.

The Robinson machine works were established in 1842, and arc one of the eldest thresh- ing machine builders in the country. The machines of this firm are in use in c\'er{ state from Maine to Oregon. Every farmer and dealer admits their superiority, Our contract with the Robinson machine works is for a com- plete thresher ready to attach either horse or steam power, both of which they manufacture, and under our con- tract they will furnish the party who receives this machine, either power at $50.00 less than their regular price, This discount to be given in addition to any cash or other discounts offered by the firm.

We will only state that this is their latést improvement. machine was on exhibition at the Ne- braska state fair last September, and was admires. by every ocne, and the workings of it declared superior to that of any other harvester made. THE LEWIS HEADER. This machine stands at the head of the header family and has met with most surprising success. The factory at Hastings, Nebraska is kept busy the year round, and the past year has not been able to make enough to fill all orders. These headers do more work with less power than any other style of reaper, and with less loss of grain than by any other mode of har- vesting.

These wagons are made by the Kansas Manufacturing Company, of Leaven- worth, Kas., & western flrm with truly western entorprise.
