I hid known the commodore for I
suppose 50 years , but it was only with
in the last 25 years that our relations
" , - assumed * character of intimacy and
friendship. I was to have been one of
the family party who made the tour of
the world in the Hteam-yacht had not at
. -.that particular moment political and
Journalistic business of an urgent char
acter detained me here. He did not
love Albany and seldom cared to visit
it , and thongh a man who when neces
sity demanded was ready to accept the
situation , the corruption which reigned
And ruled at the state capital of late
jearb was very forbidding to him. But
at Saratoga we met every summer and
had long talks together over men and
things.
Asan amusing instance ofhisobsti-
nancy in adhering to any habit as well
as opinion he once formed , I may men
tion that when the fashion of falls to
pants came in and the old flaps went
out , the Commodore , Frank Granger
hnd myself were the last three that ad-
aered to the old form. I am told that
when railways were first introduced
into England , a member of Parliament ,
Col. Slothrop , resolutely refused to
travel by themand always posted down
to Lincoln ( which he represented ) in a
postillioned chaise ; and I know my
self that Mr. Cauley , a member for
Yorkshire , and Col. Wyndham , mem
ber for Sussex , always went down to
the house of commons , to their death ,
in drab breeches , top boots , buff vest ,
and blue coat with brass buttons. Well ,
yr : would have held on to the flap with
a similar tenacity and not the tailors at
last rebelled and refused to make after
our pattern.
The Commodore had a very ready
and pithy humor. I may mention one
or two specimens which I did not see
* recorded irour paper. On one occa
sion a gentleman called on the commo
dore to propose for one of his daughters ,
And commenced , by the most eager and
vehement protestations , to assert that !
he was not actuated by any desire to
-obtain her fortune , but was animated
by the sinccrest and purest affection ,
2nd inpired by admiration for her personal - j
sonal and mental beauty ; and uhen , to
emphasize these protestations , he was
about to renew them again , the com
modore stopped him , saying quiet
ly , "I did not know she had any for
tune. " On another occasion , when ,
alien the commodore had displayed
more than usual judgment and ability
in the conduct of a railroad negotiation ,
his * on-in-law , Horace Clark , said to
him , "Commodore , it is a pity > ou had
not a college education'he'answered ,
"Hadyou a college education , Horace ? "
"Yes , hii. " "Well , Horace , I do not
think I could afford to swap with 3-011. "
When the late Sir Henry Holland
was in this country he breaklU ted with
me very early on the morning of the
- day of his departure for Europe , and I
said. ' 'Now , let us see , have we got
through everything r"
"Well , " Sir Henry said , ' 'these is one i
of your merchant princes of whom I f
have heard a great deal Mr. A. T. ft
Stewart. I should like to &ee him. " "I
should like to take you to him , " said I ;
but the commodore immediately came
up to my mind , and I said. "There is iI I
a. great railway magnate a friend of io
mine I should like you to see first , " o
and I drove him off to the commodore. „ a
After the usual expressions on intro-
duction. Sir Henry said : I should
like , if you will permit me , Commodore
Vanderbilt , to see your bureaus of
-affairs. " "What bureaus ? " asked the
commodore "Your departments of
business. Where do eon conduct jour
afiairs i" "There , " said the commo-
jfdoTe , pointing to a boy at the oppoite
end of the room seated on a stool at a
desk. "The rest is there , " added I ,
pointing to the commodore's head.
"Bui come ; pull out your business for
Sir Henry. Show him the materials of
work. " The commodore pulled out the
drawer , when , to the astonishment of
Sir Henry , its contents w re found to n
be a check-Hook and a box of cigars. L'
Sir Henry subsequently went over
Stewart's monster building , and at the
doie of his visit remarked to me : "I
have no doubt that Mr. Stewart is a ?
keen , close man of business , and directs
everything , but 3 our commodore is SL
Vjenius He must have other habits >
that would interest me. " When I told
Sir Henry of hit. . passion for trotters
and the whist-table , and his habit of
daily being for many hours in the open
air , Sir Henry said : " ! divined ak much
from his freshness and the ease w ith J ?
which he seems to transact affair * . " h
His presence was most remarkable. A !
On one occasion he was pressed to din
ner to meet some important railway di ;
men who had come together to put
Uirougoneof the largest railway enterprises 01T
T
terprises in the country , but he declin 01hi
ed , saying : "I cannot wait for my din hi
ner until 6 , but I will look in in the eve tvPI
ning , " which he did , and after listening PIH
to the statements of the parties , said PIIi
decisively : "I will have nothing to do
with this. " and then took his leave. Ii
One of the most influential of the par- tl
tlPi
tics followed him into the hall and Pi
tried to induce him to reconsider his -
decision , adding , "Well , at all events ,
you will think over it. " "IVill think
over it , " said the commodore , "if it L
pleases jou , but I will not change my
rnind. " A month or so after a larger di
check was sent to him us his portion of diet
the profits , but he at once returned it et
saying. "This money is not mine. I tl
will heve nothing to do with it. " A tt
short time afterward and the enterprise , ttD
although sustained by the strongest ttcl
railway in crests of the country , col cl
lapsed , to the heavy loss of all concern-

During his entire illness and I was
a repeated visitor at his bedside his sl
ipirit of terse , quiet humor and his slbl
clearness of judgment and expression blb
never forsook him. One evening , a b
.fortnight since , a glass of some reviving :
medicine was handed him. Taking the
glass in his hand he said , with rather
a solemn air : "This is the last time I
shall take this. " His family , thinking tx
he was despondent , commenced to encourage - . sl
courage and cheer him , when with a j Tl
merry twinkle in his eye , he said : It j at
is the last time I shall take tilt that' d (
is , what Is in this glass. " Whenever a rrj
tusiness matter wai brought before him rrjDI
during his illness he ga > e his judgment DIdc
with as much precision and vgor as at
.any time in his life , and I was present
when he gave to his son , William , hi s j
parting advice , which , for lessons of a
wisdom , convened in language of exjg ' s
'
traordinary force and lucidity , I can § , ,
only compare with PoloniuV advice to
Laeries. One of the secret of his attach
ment to me , especially more recently ,
was that at a time when he was in the
habit of saving of his -son WiHiaml
"Oh , Will is good for nothing ; Wil. tl ]
Avill never do anything. " I alwavs
cherished and expressed the sbidin
conviction , to which he afterward full
arrived , that he would leave in hi
eldest son one amply able , as * wortlv
successor , to accept and sustain what
ever responsibilities he might bequeatl
to him.
In politics Mr. Vanderbilt was alway
an old whig , and took the conservative
view of every question. He w s not ,
however , at any time an active politi
cian. It w s not until his second mar
riage that he showed outwardly any
special interest in matters of religion
But when his mind v.as turned to the
subject all his friends were surprised to
find how much he knew even of its
formnla : and how much thought h
had given to it. [ Chicago Tribune.

From th Soouman.
Yesterday at the morning serv/ce ,
both inside and immediately out-
siJe the Church of St. James ,
Hutcham , there were seenei that
probably have no parallel in the
annals English Prosteatant worsnip
in reeent of years. The hour fixed for
the commencement of the service
was as usual 11 o'clock , but the
church was tilled at 10:20 : , aud at
10:45 there was such a rush of peo-
pi ? through the doors that the pas
sages up the centre aisles and those
at the sides became blocked by men
aud women who could find no seats.
Outside those who could not gain
admission stood in groups awaiting
the arrival of the Bhhopof Roches
ter ( Dr. Ulaughtou ) . The crowd
waited in vain , for the Bishop ( who ,
t is sta'ed , has washed hia hand.of
be whole Hat chum concern , und
places the onus of Action upon Lord
'enzance ) never appeared.
In the church the service was
'ommenceJ punctually at eleveng
the candles on tbe alter being light
ed , the \ases filled with choice
flowers , giving a highly decorative
aspect to what was the communion
taole , and the View. Mr. Tooth ,
robed in alb and white chasuble ,
with cloth of gold embroidery at the
back , standing in front of the alter
ready to commence tbe service. At
the bottom of the church , close to
the entrance doors , waa a knot of
young men and boys , who mounted
the forms , and at the very bexinniiiir
of the Hervice gva very audible
vent to their opposition 10 the ritu
alistic practices of Mr Tooth. Oue
of them commenced a verse of a
coirio song , but was shamed into
cilenoe by thus 5 around him. Then
the boys shouted : "come in and
bee the pantomine.1' "Why don't
you go to Rome 1 "This is not Pro-
testkut worship , " & 2. At the be-
gining of the .Nicene Creed , "I be
lieve in one God , " R voice exclaim
ed , "No you don't. " The church
wardens , Messrs. Crooin and Plimp
ton , endeavored by persuasion to
bring the disturbers to order , but a
terner remedy w&siejuhed.
Far down in the church , when
the choir commenced singing a
Christmts hymn to the well known
Roman Catholic nir of Adeste FitJe-
les , the tune being that of the Portuguese
tuguese Mariners' Hymn , a serious
row occurred , aud fr.m that time
to the and of the service to the low
er part of the church was turned
into a beer garden. Oue person ,
dressed like u gentleman , uttered *
some loud offensive words respecting -
the bervice , and ha wad immediately - "
ly stiaed and hustled toward the
doT. This gave rise to a free fight ;
umbrellas aud sticks were flourish
ed , and used eflectually upon the
headi of ritualist ? aud anti-ritualists.
A lures portion of the , congregation
jumped upon the forms , putou their :
hats , and prepared to defend ihem-
sclvf\3. Ladies fainted , some of
them being carried tu the sacristy ,
nud iu the midst of all this riot ,
lou 1 voices cryiue.No Popery ! '
and "Go to Itorne ! " were heard
above the general din. o
Police Hergeant No. 22Pat bi
bihi
arrived , ana his presence put an end hi
for the time to the fighting , Lut hin
when he left the-church U was le- \v
uewod , the comhatanta striking vh
right and left with sticks and um- h
bre'.I.H3. 1 Many hate were hopelessly tls
cruahed 1i , and the head ornaments of s
rnor than on * lady came to grief. it
At this juncture a tall ' 'gentlamAn" teJi
mcde to the door , aud turui g the Jih
altar and flourishing bi umbrella , h
tnid in a loud voice : I' the law c
cbi
don't put that down , w * will " He biol
then left the church. All this time ol
the service was conducted with the in
usual choral ace > tnpanim uUAH if of
the ordinary dcorum wasobserved. fem
Tno Police tiergeant was again Bent m
for by the church wardens , and
again his appearance had a pacify
ing ; afreet , but a still there were atbl
criws of "No Popary ! " "Why don't bl
you go to Koine ? ' "Come in aud tt
see the pautoiahie. " Matters were ft
Zr * tiug serious close to the entrance uthi
to the church , and a few men , 00:1- hi
spicious by their violent conduct ,
were seized by the church wardens
uid ejected.
Outside the ritualists and anti-
ritualists got mixed , aud a short dc
pusiliitiu and encounter was the st
result. The temporary lull iraide wl
was broken by a gentleman asking so
in a loud Toico. "Where i the soTl
Bishop ? : ) * nd this was followed by 1U
groans for his lordship. For a time tb
tnero was a panic among the con tb :
gregation. L lilies in fainting coa Jb (
lition were assisted out of the in
jburch , uats crushed , sticks mod on o'
jeople , and again the police appoar- lai
