JilINT HbSTOlW OP THE MIAN WHO FOUNDED THE FORTUNE OFTOUNG KlClC LONGWORTH WHO IS TO MAMf miss Alices By William J. Lampton. JX'Srr now everybody Is talking about Nicilas lyong-worch, of Cincinnati, who Is to marry the daughter of the President of the United States. Plfty years ago there waa another Nlcholaa Ixjng-worth, of Cincinnati, who had come to fame over a much more difficult path. He was ,-U!U Kick" Longworth, as succeeding Nioholnscs have been "Young Nick" Longworth as this one la to-day the third of his name, thoujrh In resllty the fourth, for the grandfather of the Nicholas of thla sketch waa Nich olas, unknown to fame, albeit a man of -parts and a Jersey-Justice of the-Peace an office, by the way, similar to that of Klng'a Juetioe In other colonies. Squire Longwwth had a son Thomas, who married Apphla Vajiderpool, un early lutch woman, and one of their four chil dren was the Nicholas known later In Ohio aa "Old Nick," born January lti, 17X3. In Newark. Thomas waa a Tory, and not being willing to subscribe to the IKeclara- tlon of Independence, the American Kaffle and the Constitution of the United state, made and provided by the success of the Revolution, his property was duly conns- rare old book on Cincinne-tl, written by Charles Cist, the Queen City's local his torian, entitled "Cincinnati In 1861," Mr. Cist, who waa a quaint historian and a friendly man, fond of his city and Its people, had this to aay of that other Nicholas Ixmgworth eighteen years be fore the oresent Nlcholaa wan born: "Nicholas- Lorurworth. the subject of this memoir, was born In Newark, N. J., on the sixteenth of January, 1783. He came to Cincinnati, which has been his residence ever since. In May. 1804. He en gaged at once In reading and studying Uuw In the office of Judge Burnet, then ana always the -first lawyer 1n the dty In point of ability and standing, and after a briefer space than would now be al lowed by the courts was admitted to the Bar. He followed his tow practice until 1819. whin he left the legal profession to newer or younger members. His earn ings and savings had been, during the period alluded to. Invested In lands and lots In and adjacent to Cincinnati, under the conviction that no other Investment of his funds would prove so profitable. This may seem Insufficient to account for I the amount of property he has since ac- ea ted and ie waa told to go to England or cumulated from these Investments, but elsewhere. W hether he obeyed or not me Bhoula remembered that property present writer cannot say. bui he was left o poor that everybody had to work. In cluding father, and young Nicholas, as he was then, rustled along the best he could until he wns old enough to go to South Carolina and take a place In his brother's store. But he was ambitious to become a lawyer, and probably realizing that Ohio was to be a great State some day he went to Cincinnati in 1804 and entered the law office of Judge Jacob Burnet. Later he quit the law for real estate and became a mllllonnalre and the second largest tax payer In the United States. In 1807 he mar ried Susan Howell, daughter of Captain Biles Howell, of the New Jersey Conti nental line. One of his sons, Joseph, waa the father of Nlcholaa, a Judge on the Ohio Supreme Bnch, who was the father of the present Nicholas, Representative In two Congresses from Cincinnati, and a re publican, as his great grandfather was a whig Not as having any bearing on the case, here was held at low values In early days. many of his ctty lot purohases having been made for ten dollars or less each. "It must also be remembered that Mr. U Was a regular lot and land dealer, sell ing as well as buying, and his profits con stantly furnished the means of extending his Investments, Nor should It be forgot ten that dealing In property In a rising market, which Cincinnati has always af forded, la h business In which all Is gain and nothing loss; differing In this respect from ordinary trade, both in the certainty of profit as well as security of Its debts, which are always protected by mortgages. As an example of the facility with which small amounts, comparatively, secured what has since become of enormous valne, it may be stated that Mr. U once received as a legal fee from a fellow accused of horse stealing, and who had nothing else to give, two second hand copper st'lls. These were In charge of Joel Williams, who kept a tavern udjacent to the river, but merely as a coincidence. It may beianj wnu wa a large property holder stated here that the old Longworth lionif-, her9 eiy days. On presenting his stead In Pike street, Cincinnati, was order.

Note.-Mr. Longworth was an agricul tural enthusiast, and as goon as he quit the active practice of the law he went Into grape growing. He began on two hundred acres of ground with foreign varieties and knt money right along until 1828. when he tried the Catawba, a grape discovered oa the Catawba River, North Carolina. In 1301. This, with the Isabella grape, changed nia luck, and for many years the Long worth wines had almont International popularity and eorvsomptlon and the Long- worth wine cell-are were one of Cincinnati o sights. The strawberry called forth a book on their culture, and the "Ixmgworth Prollflo" was at one time the crack berry of the markets. The strawberry crop around Cincinnati tn 1851 wai about 1,000 bushels, and Mr. Cist says, "No year Is known In which strawberries have aver aged as high, as ten cents a quart when abundant they bring ( to 64 cents and oo slonally fall to from 8 to 4 cents." Cer tainly this Is not tempting the poor man with luxuries he may look at but never taste "Mr. Longworth Is a ready and racy writer, whose vein of thinking and expres sion Is always rich and who blends pleas antry with grave arguments and earnest purpose. Ills writings on the strawberry and the grape end his various contribu- make money by the effer rt. but recollect. I am to have the say who are to go." "While the Presidential itruggle of iste was raging Mr. Longworth was applied to for a contribution of $100 for campaign e penses. 'Don't know whether I shall give a cent.' he said. l never give something for nothing. We might fall to elect Clay, as we did before, and 1 should fling away the hundred dollars." The applicant, a president of one f our banks, assured him there was no doubt of Mr. Clay'e eleetlon v... i h nnna 'Well.' said Long- worth". 'I can tell you what 1 will da. I will glre rou the hundred dollars; but mind you shall be personally responsible to me for Ite return If Clay la not elected.' The politician, finding he could make n better bargain, and never dreaming of de feat, acceded to these terms. Tjhe f undg all went Into the common purse, knd when the hundred dollars had to be made good the banker had to pay the amount out of hie own pocket multa gemens. "Tns other day 1 had occasion to msfce up a contribution to relieve the wants of a destitute but deserving widow residing In the Sixth ward. Among other persons 1 applied to 1-ongworth. 'Who Is she? Do you know her? Is she a deserving object? I assured him that fh" wns. I hid good reason. I said, to believe that she bore an excellent character ana was uuing In her power to support a large family of small children.

'i.J taking Into view the prodigious advance In real estate here, would or itself nave xur nlshed the basis for an Immense fortune, the naked ground being now worth nearly two million dollars." Its Vilut Grew. INote by present writer: As Mr. Long worth did not die until February 10, 1863, twelve years after Mr. Cist's sketch, he eaw his property Increase still further In value. Western Row Is now Central ave nue, but yet some little distance west of the heart of the city. Another little real estate transaction of Mr. Longwortti's, which Mr. Cist has overlooked. Is worth mentioning. Judge Burnet -owned a lot Ject of profitable employment. This Is the ordinary phase of money getting, as clos ing the ear and pocket to applications for aid la that of money saving. Longworth has become a rich man on a different prin ciple. He appears to have started upon the calculation that tf he could put any Individual in the way of making a dollar for Longworth and a dollar for himself at the name time, by aiding him with ground for a lot, or in building him a house on it and If, moreover, he could multiply cases of the kind y hundreds, or perhaps thousands, he could promote his own interests Just in the dame measure as he was advancing others. At the same time he could not be unconscious that which he called his oow pasture. The young! while thelr.half was subdivided Into. small man In his office wanted It so much that he offered to pay 16.000 for it on time. The possessions owned by a thousand or more Individuals, his half was a vast, a bound- Judge, being a fair minded man. tried toie aggregate, since It was the property dissuade the proposed purchaser from throwing his money, or credit, away on worthless land, but Longworth Insisted until he got It. He lived to see the cow pasture worth $1,600,000, considerably more than Judge Burnet ever accumulated. "Mr. Longworth went on adding lot to lot, acre to acre, in this mode until, al though he haa sold more lands and lots than any man In Cincinnati, he la still the largest landholder In the city. "What Mr. . Longworth's property Is worth Is rather difficult to determine, but ' 1 I 1 wt ' JJ) Mr. Longworth. 'I shan't give a cent. Such persons will always find plenty to relieve them. I shall assist none but the Idle, drunken, worthless vagabonds that nobody else will help. If you meet with such cases call upon me.' That this wan not a mere pretence I find In the success of an application made here In behalf of the Mormons after they had been driven from Illinois. A committee of that people visited Cincinnati and applied to a friend of mine, who Bald he had no money to give, but wrote a note to Mr. Longworth. in which he stated that he had sent them to him as having a claim on him, they not being Christians. Mr. Longworth gve them accordingly $10." Note "The devil's poor" Mr. Longworth called the kind he helped. Thus endeth the Cist chronicle of fifty four years ago. and twelve years later ended the subject of It. He left a fortune estimated at $15,000.00. and nobody ever said any of it was tainted money, althougu there were good and pious Cincinnati us of one man alone. The event has done Justice to his sagacity. Hundreds, If not thousands. In and adjacent to Cincinnati now own houses and lots and many have become wealthy who would In all proba bility have lived and died tenants under a different stats of case. Had not Mr. Longworth adopted this course he would have occupied that relation to society I which many wealthy men now sustain whether he would part with the Mount!
