THE LATE VICE-PRESIDENT WILSON. 
Henry Wilson, late Vice-President, of the 
United Statea, whose death was briefly an¬ 
nounced in last weok’s It URAL, was born in 
1812, among the most sterile hills of New 
Hampshire, and In early life found himself so 
poor that at ten years of age he was appren¬ 
ticed front the town poor-house to a fanner 
until he was twenty-one. At that age lie 
started out, witii a new suit of clothes and a 
yoke of oxen, to make bla way in the world. 
Going to Natick, Ma.su,, lie learned the trade of 
shoeuiaking and alternated work with study, 
until, at the age of 28, he entered poll tics, 
making speeches for Harrison and Tyler in 
the celebrated campaign of 1840. lie was 
known through the .State as the “ Natl ik Cob¬ 
bler.’’ In the next and succeeding years lie 
was a member of the Massachusetts Legisla¬ 
ture and Senate, was for two years President or 
the latter body, and a in amber of the State 
Constitutional Convention. In 1852 he was a 
candidate for Congress, hut defeated. In 1854 
Mr. W. was defeated for Governor, but In 1855 
he was elected by the Natlvistor Know-nothing 
party, as the aucoaasnr to Edward Everett In 
the United States Senate. He continued to 
represent Massachusetts in the Senate eighteen 
yours, until 1872, when lie took his seat as Vice- 
President, having been elected the previous 
year. For t wo years Mr. WILSON had been in 
poor health anil his death was n ot unexpected. 
He was undoubtedly oue of the beat men left 
in American political life—not brilliant, but 
always abounding in plain common sense, and 
always faithful to his moral convictions on 
great public questions, ou which last character¬ 
istic liis especial excellence and success as a 
public man were based. 
DEATH OF WILLIAM B. ASTOB. 
One of the wealthiest — if not the most 
wealthy—of American citizens, died last week. 
Yet the current of business goes on with little 
apparent Interruption. William 11. Astor, 
eldest son of the late John Jacob Abhor, died 
at his residence in New York, Nov. 24th, aged 
83 years. While the country was enjoying its 
Thanksgiving holiday, two of Its distinguished 
sons were waiting their burial. There was little 
in common between the dead Vice-President 
Henry Wilson and Wm. II. Astor, One was 
born to poverty and remained a comparatively 
poor mau all Ills life. The other was for many 
years master of greater weaitli than any other 
American held so long. Mr. ASTOR’e colossal 
fortune was possibly exceeded during the past 
few years hj the greater gai.is of Commodore 
Vanderbilt and A. T. Stewart, but there is a 
permanence in the Astor estate, consisting so 
largely oT real estate In New York City, that no 
other or more fluctuating property could rival. 
For this very reason possibly Mr, Astor’s death 
will make less sensation through the country 
and in business circles than that of many less 
wealthy capitalists. The vast est ates w i II remain 
with little olrangeand probably be administered 
on the same wise, careful and just business 
principles which have governed their manage¬ 
ment through two generations. So large an es¬ 
tate, thus administered, cannot fail to Increase 
In value. Tne temporary depreciation of New 
York real estate makes It seem less, possibly, 
than it is. With better times and the natural 
real estate prices, W>i. B. Astor’s estate cannot 
be much less than $11)0,000,000, and may exceed 
that sum. Such gains duriug the lifetime of 
two men, are extraordinary illustrations of 
what may be accomplished In this country by 
economy, enterprise and good business man¬ 
agement. ^ ^_
