chambers. Tho library la provided for
by a long uxtetwlou about ono-lmlf or
two-thirds tho width of tho lot, and giv
ing a good light.
To a professional man tho library of a
town house becomos tho choicest corner
in it, and that of tho Vandorpool Iiouho
was 08j)eclally favored in having a bright
vlow on tho green lawn of tlio vacant
corner, nnd also tho passing scones on
tlio avenue. Mr. Vandorpool was distin
guished in his profession and hnd gath
ered in his homo study tho iluest collec
tion of law books in tho state. Ills spe
cialty was trial work, nnd ho accom
plished a marvelous amount of it, suc
ceeding, as ho said, by tlio studious mas
tery of fncts. Yot tho Sixteenth street
mansion was not a mero lawyer's den.
Although a stem looking man, Mr. Van
derpoel was gonial lu temperament and
a fnvorito with his fellows. Ho was very
plain and looked rather llko a farmer
than a habitue of aristocratic Fifth avo
nuo. Ho was of original Dutch stock
and maintained a splendid country estate
near his early homo in Columbia county.
Mr. Vandorpool associated himself
with many city soclotlos, ono of which,
tho Holland, fostered tlioso ancestral
traditions to wlrich ho was devoted. Tho
region of his farm at Kiudcrhook ho
madotho scono of Irvlng's "Legend of
81eepy Hollow," and usod to rolato tko
story to his friends with many local em
bellishments from his own oxperionco.
His country homo and tho adjoining
Catskills were his recreation, but ho
lived tho lifo of a Now Yorker to tho
full, Tho neighborhood of his town
homo was full of social attractions. To
tlio now St. Nicholas and Century clubs
ho gavo somo of his Icisuro, but during
tho greater part of his career ho was a
pillar of tho Manhattan, which ho helped
to found and over which he presided
Bovoral years. Tho Manhattan club
I10U80, on tho block below his homo, was
convenient place to drop In for tho
evening,
Mr. Vandorpocl was a neighborly
man and identified blinsolf personally
with tho surroundings of his home and
with tho people of tho vicinity. For
many years Drentano's Literary Empori
um was near Sixteenth streot, in Union
square, ono block from tho Vandorpool
mansion, and tho great lawyer, with his
head crammed with legal facts, called in
for his dally papers regularly, generally
stopping to discuss tho news. Ills even
ing visits hero were also qulto regular,
and were- often prolonged in comparing
notes with tho proprietor, who was
thoroughly postod in tho contents of his
loaded sholvos, or chatting with young
August Orcntano, tho nephew and suc
cessor ana tho
Brentano of to
day. A student
of other things
than law, ho was

seek this mountain retreat nH n change

Mr. Townsend is a practical man and
puta theories ton st. When tho cost
of living, cooking reform, etc., wore
topics of nowspapcr discussion somo years
ngo ho selected a kindred topic for ono of
his New York letters, and made the
rounds of tho markets with a basket on
his arm just to boo how much dlvorslon,
annoyance, economy and humbug com
bined there nro in tho market basket act
as attributed to certain grent men. His
Gnpland is tho result of n similar pro
pensity for seeing how somo things can
bo dono; for nt first ho simply fell In love
with Gnpland as do all suscoptiblo folk
that wsa that way and decided to build
himself a lodge. The plan drew his at
tention to tho rocky formation of n part
of tho mountain, and ho found building
matorlal on tho spot. A houso, with out
buildings, soon followed, nnd if tho estate
with all its appointments should prove
moro attmctlvo than tho Thirty-fourth
street houso as a rofugo for a man of
"Oath's" well traveled years, it will not
bo strange, especially as Washington is
at present headquarters for hla nowe-
paper lauors.

another broad street, or avenue, Twenty
third streot, whero n Btill later move
ment, tho spreading out of tho residence
quarters, drow many well-to-do peoplo to
tho west sldo of tho island, wo find an
other brown stono with a history.
"Jako" Sharp's houso, at 320 West
Twenty-third street, comes in tho Man
sard era. It was built about twenty-fivo
years ago, and within it was doubtless
planned, if not matured, tho celebrated
Broadway Street Itallway schomo which
brought Sharp to borrow.
Sharp, too, had his homo in congenial
surroundings. lib passed his primo in
building piers and street railroads with
ferry connections. Twenty-third street
got its ferry very recently that is, in
"Jim" Fisk's tlmo, sinco tho war. This
street, long after somo of those farther
up town had beon built upon with fino
mansions, was n wasto of vacant lots,
with hero nnd thero a factory, stage
stable, cattlo market, and road tavern.
Loudon Terrace, a row of lino old man
sions west of Ninth avonuo, and a row of
brick cottages near Eighth avenuo, oppo
site tho Sharp house, stood almost alono
as desirablo residences of that neighbor
hood, Tho present Orand Opera houso,
built by Plko after tho war, gavo tho re

dock to tho central ortou of the city,
and the Opera houso combined, brought
life to a district that but for those might
have remained for years lagging lu the
march of progress.
Tho Twenty-third streot homo of Sharp
marks tho wtcoud stage of the man's cu
roer. Had ho lived long enough and car
ried out his plans, ho might have died in
n palace on tho uvetiuo. Ho camo to the
brown stono from a little brick 1ioiih
(leased) on Twenty-second street. Hit
most activo work was dono lu tho brown
Ktono period, when, although known tc
his neighlKirri principally as a (pilot, unob
truslvo man, ho was preparing the Broad
way project, and actually carried It In
his brain for a quarter of a century. On
the Bteps of tho brown stono ono cold
winter morning, as ho was about to drive
out in ids beaver and silk wrappings, the
boodle manipulator was met with the
news that tho indictments against him
wore to bo tried nt once.
Ho staid in tho brown stono to fight
It out. Tho palace on the avenuo novel
enmo to crown his career. During hie
ousy nro in tho city Sharp maintained a
country place near IJomo, N. Y., and
there ho caught cold lu tho great bliz
zard and died the month following in n
houso near his old home, which his fam
ily occupied after his conviction. It wae
during his trial, or between tho tlmo oi
his indictment and his death, that Sharp
becniuo best known to his immediate
neighbors. Ho was greeted by tho idle
and curious whenever ho nppoared in
tho Btreot. Ono day ho divided public
curiosity with another colobrity of tho
hour, Mrs. Langtry, whoso cottage is on
tho same block.
Sharp was on trial In tho great railroad
charter case, and tho Lily was courting
popularity on ono Btago and fighting n
legal battle over a high paling she had
erected beforo her cottago on another,
and by a coincidence both celebrities had
their carriages at their doors at tho snmo
hour. Tlio mob crowded about tho Lang
try carriago until Sharp appeared, and
then went over on masso and surrounded
tlio Sharp carriage, and followed It as
long as thoy could keep up with it, staring
at its occupant with tho usual sang frold
of street loiterers. His neighborhood
famo, such as it was, camo Into and came
suddenly, and vanished as quickly as it
camo, for few of tho residents of tho lo
cality, excepting tho tradespeople whose
patron ho was, remember personally tho
occupant of tho brown stono, No. 820, or
can tell otr hand whero ho lived, within
half n dozen numbers.

SHIPPING CATTLE ACROSS SEA.
Some rulnu KcciiiMInc Till Now Com
mercial IniluKtry.
tSnucuil Corri'spouilcncu.
New YoitK, Feb. 0. Tho llvo Btock
shipping industry began about eight
years ago. Tlio averngo number of
cattlo Bent each week id 8,000 tho year
round, or about 100,000 annunlly. Of
course this does not includo dead car
Ciisses, which aro shipped by tho mil
lion, nor lino breeding stock, compris
ing a great number of bulls, overy year
soul over from Kentucky.
Upon tho other hand, England sends
no butchers' stock to America. She
does, however, ship lino thoroughbreds
for stock breeding purposes, nnd no end
of them.
Tho expenso of shipping a cargo of
cattlo (of say C50 head) may easily bo
computet! by these figures; Cost of 5C0
head, at 00 each, $33,000; forty mon
(deducting four "deadheads"), at $30
each (wages rnngo from $35 to $35),
$1,200; foreman, $00; ono assistant fore
man at $10; freight on stock at $10 per
head (It ranges from $0 to $12), $5,500;
loss of 2 per cont. on stock (tho avorago
loss, asido from n wholesalo disaster, is
2 to 2J per cent.), $000; total cost of
cargo, $40,400, or $73.00 per head. To
this must often bo added cost of insur
ance, although tho cargo is not nlways
insured, if weather indications aro fu
vorablo. Thus 1 1 will bo seen that tho sb I ppor does
not always rcallzo a profit on his cargo,
as, nt a minimum loss of 2 per cent., ho
must realize $73,50 per head on his cattle
lu England to comu out even. And still,
nbovo tho Investment already mentioned,
ho Is pledged to provido a return passage
for his men.
Tho Bystcm of taking 'men ncross in
cattlo boats and giving them their board
for services rendered is fast falling into
ill favor. Tho "deadheads," as this clas
of men aro called, usually hull from an
utterly worthless rank tho tramp brig
ade supplies the material as a rule and
as a fitting climax they prove themselves
to bo a positive burden, finding it the
surest way to leat a two weeks' tattoo
on tho mess table without running tho
risk of being "put off" between stations
e.nd walking tho ties. For this reason
shippers much prefer to pay n U'gulnr
man his wago. To bo sure, there are
worthy and needy men among tills class
of "deadheads." A man jierhnps is un
fortunato enough to lie obliged to work
his pnssaga homo to England; or, for that
matter, an American, failing to find em
ployment here, seeks it on board a cattlo
Iwat. But tho peicentago of worthier
lias become so small that not moro than
three to fivo "deadheads" aro now in
cluded iu'a passage, and even theso nro
made to doXtho most menial work nt tho
over otfidou bidding of tbo hiielings.

Tho mass continued to approach him, nnd
ho finally mndo out tho complete outlines of

with which ho wns fnmlllnr.
Sho was n whaler of !CJ5 tons, from Now

camo necessary to nbandon her hastily, as

When 1oavltt sighted her (ho lay cradled

Her three masts towered aloft with still per

and stays coverwl with Ico coatings In fan
tnstlo shapes, brought out In tho sunlight
in bold and beautiful relief against tho bluo
mountains of Ico behind.
Tlio silent fchlp lay stern to tho ken, about
fifty yard from It, and slightly heeled to
port. Tho prismatic olroots of tho spectral
scono were heightened by heavy buidunsof
snow, which cumbered thodoekn, tho hawser
nnd tho wills of tho vessel. Two of tho sails
were shaking their stiffened tatten Idly In
tho breezo, wlitlo tho rest hnd tho snug muii-o'-wnr

tightly to tho yards. Tho vcaroI looked liter
ally a ship of lco, for all tho world llko tho
toy ship enshroudod in crystals by tho glow

Plucking up hla courngo, Leavltt finally
wont out to tho Ico pack and bonrdod tho

tho Young Phoenix from stem to Btcrn reveal

tho fields of Ico to his boat, and convoyed to

IIo would have continued stripping tho ves

Various theorlos nro advanced ns to tho
