TUE TWO lth‘ll “EN 0!" NEW YORK.

If. A. T. Stewart is not what is called a liberal man. no seldom looks at a subscrl tion paper. With him begging is ata discount. lle as little sympathy with vagraacy. Men and women who seek his presence sel- dom gain much by an interview if money is the object. Indeed. it is very difficult to sin access to him in any way. lie is iatoascl.r devote to his business. and works more hours probably than any merchant in New York. he mmls his own affairs with despotic away. "is partners have no control over the business. but are in~ «rested merely in the profits. fle buys and sells as he fleaseawttbout consulting any one.

In his_ down store he has a small office. where he spends his time fro early business hours till dark. No man gsrs up stairs without running a amulet. A gen- tle-an meets all comers at the lower oor with:

“ What is your business. sir?”

“I want to see Mr. Stewart."

“I must hunwyour business or you cannot see him."

at My business is private. 1 wast to Deal Mr. Stewart personally."

"Mr. Stewart has no private business. sir. l'nlsss you‘le me what you want Mr. Stewart will not are

on. If the response is satisfactory be is allowed to go up stairs. “are he is met by another gentleman and put shrosgh another rigid examination. T he usher dlsa - an behind a glass partition. Soon Mr. Stewart w ll spun peertplr at the visitor. If he likes his looks. he admits him; lf not. he sends him away. No man who has run this ordeal once will do it a second time without a cause. liut. on great occasions. the donations ot'htr. Stewart are princely. he proposes now to devote mil~ lions to boil houses for the poor. If the city refuse to give the site he will still carry out his plan.

Unlike Mr. Stewart. William B Astor is always ach- sible. His rooms tire on Prince street. a door or two from Broadway. They are the same that were occupied by his father. lie has a front and back oflicr. where the business of his great estate is carried on. The door is wide open between the two officcl. A person asking for Mr. Astor is directed at once to the rear room. At a common desk. crowded with papers. sits a German looking man, about seventy. heavy moulded. tall and stout. llis t‘ycs. which are small, with an expression bordering 0n stupidity. are fastened on the visitor. and Mr. Astor waits his utterances. He wastes no words. His answers are yes or no. with an answer that admits of no debate. All day long. from 10 to 6. Mr. Astor arts in his office. and sees all comers. flu is master of his business. He knows the rent of every house. the duration of eatery lease. the times and terms of ay- ltsat. with every foot of land. At 5 o‘clock he uses. and with a slow and sluggish gait turns into Broadway. and walks to Lafayette place, where he resides. for his dinner.

He has two sons. John Jacob and William ll.. jr.—- These two young men are in busincsl with their father. No bankers in New York attend to business more closely. They wulk down Broadway in the morning and u at night. with the rest throng of business men. as if t cy. ill common wit so many others. had a fortune to‘mako. Much of the tact and shrewdness of their grandfather attaches to them. They cross the old pro- verb that wealth does not descend to tbs third genera- tion. Besides What they have inherited. they have made a fortune of their own. and should their {other vlie to- morrow. they have ability. Industry and adaptedness to business to maintain the honor of the name and carry the estate in their fathsr's style. They are modest and retirin . and without afiectation. John Jacob is tnll. Inge, vily built; with sandy hair and complexion. "rumbling his father. He went to ths field in 1861 and did «tanks for the national cause. Wm. B.. in. Sat laad slim. with black hair. of a genteel build. and is said to very much resemble his lather.

'roussx tr nan: ouu )lltllxuial sci-,lalr.“- Virgil.

Tsla year [366 is gone. but it has left its impress on the age. it has left to the Historic Muse many im~ portant omits to chronicle; events which will impart a character to the era in which we live. which will be perused with pleasure and interest by the student of !history. and on which it will be entsrtaining to reflect during our reusing moments in the misty future. It has its category of human crime. its terrific and devastating wars. its numerous and destructive fires. its contagious diseases; in short. it equals any of its predecessors in the many incidents with which it is chequered. During this year a great and mighty nation has been humbled; another. flushed with victory. and hitching on its power- less little neighbors. has gained. by its precedency in ,military affairs. and its increase of territory. a prominent and enviable position among the great nations of Europe. Thus it is that Time, operating upon nations as well as upon individuals. surely and steadily works its changes. The lapse of a few years— my. of a few months.—-as a retrospective view of the past year proves. sometimes elects surprising changes which are attended by consequences. in some cases beaeflcial. in others. in. jurious to the welfare of society. Justat present. every- thing is quiet; but how long this peace will remain on- disturbed is vcry problematic-sf. The relations existing between some of the Great Powers. the jealous eyes with which they watch one another. and the several great. questions at present engaging the diplomacy of Europe. may at any time plunge that Continent into all the horrors of a fearful war. But to dcscant on what may or may not occur llorcsl‘ter.'is not at present our intention; but merely to take our usual glance at the grcat and ominous events which render memorable the yrarjust terminated.

The destructive Ivar waged by Prussia and Italy against Austria and some of the German kingdoms surpasses in importation any other occurrence of the past year. The success that. everywhere attended the l'russians. is almost without a parallel. Their prompt seiaure of Hanover. thelr immediate Invasion of Aus- trian territory. spreading desolation through the enemy‘s country. and the superiority of the needle-gun in the work of deadly carnage and bloody strife. strikingly contrasted with the tardiness of licncdek. the Austrian Cumulander-in-Chief. and with the faulty negligence or want of foresight on the port of the Alls-
