Mr. Vanderbilt has ills hand on
Manhattan Island, us you might
spread yours out on a book. With
him and without him, we are not
quite happy. His railroad is tlie only
general artery running into New
York; for tlie Boston and Harlem
roads come in on ills tracks, and fie
runs a loop down tlie city by one of
the rivers and also along tlie back
bone of the island, and is scattered
pretty much all along these several
tracks. If there is any man liable to
bo dangerous by the excess of ids
wealth, this is the person ; but rumor
says that ho is a considerate, persua
sive man, willing to alter his views;
not headstrong, and rattier desirous
of good opinion. His wife and chil
dren arc the best of ail the Vander
bilts, and jiublle opinion rather sus
tains liinnii carrying out ills father’s
will and refusing to be subject to Ins
brother's irregularities. Heretofore,
the (lunger of great fortunes lias been
obviated by tlie loss of them. Tho
Girards and Rushes grew weary of
the weight of dross and founded use
ful things with its residue. The A.
T. Stewarts extended their busi
ness, und ill many cuses tlie In
vestment shrunk. The Astora, liow
ever, keep tlietr estate compactly and
manage It with the liberality mid
method of a London Duke of Bed
ford of Marquis of Westminister; be
ing in houses unit lots, it Isjiot apt
to oppress any body. But Mr Van
derbilt owns a revolving estate which
Is said to he paying film $1,000an
hour for the round of the day and
night. He controls almost every
large city in the State of New York;
tlie bridges over the Niagara and
Hudson, at Troy, Buffalo und Al
bany; tlie road to Canada; tlie outlet
to Boston ns well as to New York,
and nearly the Hudson river itself,
on which he suppresses tlie local
steamboats. Tlie public work of
nearly fifty years, engaged in by half
tlie State and city, missed ill a period
of speculation into his father’s bunds,
who watered it more than two hun
dred per cent., mid still it stood up
under the water, having really ap-
with success. If lie should desire to
be a politician or President lie would
be welcome to at least one party
witli mob an exchequer. Sueli men,
however, are restrained by conscious
reasons from aspiring beyond their
wealth. Even Gould, with his van
ity and national railroad property,
went but once into a grand political
campaign, with the end to save his
investments. But Gould cannot un
load ills slocks. Vanderbilt’s stand

It was after 11 when tlie professors
of physiology and anatomy, with four
students, came up. Tho interview
lasted some moments, mid our re
porter gave such accurate proofs of a
knowledge of what was up that it
ended ill his being invited to witness
some experiments that wore about to
be performed on the body of Merrick,

as well as the power to resuscitate

regulated for work. A tripod abgut
eight feet high, with Sayers appara
tus for lifting tho body, was placed

by a blanket to keep In the steam.
All things being ready, the profes
sor adjusted the head straps of the
Sayers apparatus, unil commenced
drawing upon the cords which pass
over a series of pulleys at the top of
tlie tripod. Tlie body was thus drawn
upward at full length by tho head
until the toes rested in tlie tub. In

New York Evening Star.]
Just before (lie close of the morn
ing session of tlie Jefferson Market
police court to-day, Detective Relimit
berger, of the Thirteenth street po
lice station, entered, having in cus
tody Benjamin W. Briscoe, a ruddy-
faced man of thirty years, who he
lmd arrested at tho Brower House
corner of Twenty-eighth street and
Broadway, last evening, on the com
plaint of William H. Betts, a custom
house inspector, residing at No. 52
West Twenty-eighth street. The
specific charge made against Briscoe
was that he had stolen from Betts

Which Betts alleged Brisooe had

“He is from Atlanta, Ga., your

class people, and was a thorough

“Yes,” replied Briscoe, trembling,
“yon know I was a business man in

of playing tlie fool for other men

nreoiated to the figure he set upon it.
The most populous portion of tills
country is on Mr. Vanderbilt’s line,
and tlie largest belt of cities in the
country; It is nearly equal to one
man owning the only railroad from
London to Liverpool and Glasgow.
This enormous properly, which boars
interest, with its connections, on a
capital of$109,000,000, was the reali
zation of three years on the stock
exchauge, operating upon, at most,
a few millions of dollars. Since
Cornelius Vanderbilt’s death Wil
liam lias annexed the Michigan Cen
tral Railroad; the Lake Shore, Mich
igan Southern und Canada Central
were previously his, to all intents.
As he has the means to pay regular
dividends, those stocks carry them
selves. He decrees that Michigan
Central shall be an eight per cent,
stock, and tlie banks and fiscal
owners of tlie country bow their
beads. He is more extended than
his father, but on more growth and
income. Tlie growtli of business in
the United States probably doubles
ou sueli a line as this every seven
years, adding 100 per cent, to the
capital. The whole country is open
along the line of tlie Central Road,
no mountains barring the way and
cramping population. Y’ou are sell
ing clothing now in Philadelphia
manufactured by the tou in Syracuse,
rifles from Troy, shirts and collars
from Cohoes, butter from St. Law
rence, and liops from Utica. New
York State lias but one other rail
road of respectable Importance, tlie
Erie; the others are all interlinked
witli the .Central's fortunes, and it
does not appear Unit any more oppo
sition is mooted, except by tlie canal.
Tho railroad fare is limited by char
ter to two cents a mile, but’this is
>artly surmounted liy asking two to
hree dollars more in tho Wagner
ears, a private accessory of the family.
Tlie Albany bridge is also said to lie
private property, not owned by the
railroad’s stockholders. In both the
Boston amt Albany and the New
Haven Rgilrods there Is a Vander
bilt influence.
The only relief tlie Boston people
expect is a Western connection
independent of Vanderbilt, over
the Saratoga and Susqueliannuli
roads. A bridge hud been pro
jected to cross the Hudson at
Poughkeepsie, and connect the New
England Railroad with the Erie, Hut
work lias ceased upon it. Here, then,
are 1,000,000people in New York de
pendent upon one man for all their
connections with tho rest of tlie
jiorting the skull. This second bone
lias a tooth-like prominence or pivot

upon which tlie head turns,

ing all the vital force which should
keep litis man alive, tlie pivot is press
ing upon tlie spinal cord, and that
pressure produces paralysis of breath
ing, and the heart becomes crowded
witli clotted blood, and all the
machinery becomes stopped.”
During this time the two professors
were drawing the body in various
directions, uud were manipulating
the head and neck without success.
Tho body was then removed to a table
and placed upon its face, with the
arms drawn up under the forehead,
when the professor of anatomy, with
a narrow chisel, made a gush in tlie
neck where it joins tho bead, and
with two short, quick blows from u
mallet split tlie two upper bones tliut
were pressing upon the cord, like
cutting a ring that has become too
tight. After tills was accomplished
tlie body was turned upon tlie bnck.
Taking up the detached nozzle of a
large bellows, the professor of physi
ology proceeded, working and talk
ing at the same time.
"Gentlemen, this subject affords
an opportunity of showing how far
vital actions may be suspended and
ignin restored. All this man’s or
gans are perfect, but his vital energy
is lost. To restore it we must make
the heart beat again ; tlie coagulated
blood must be removed from tlie
heart cavities, and tlie lungs must be
filled with nir."
Assistants were at hand, encit with
u special task to perform, and at a
given word all began to work. The
result is thus told :
The professor of physiology with

He grasped the pulse and said, in a
whisper, “A tremor!” And then,
applying Ids ear to the chest fora

an excited manner, “It moves! I
can feel Its Impulse!” A shout went
up from every one, but followed in a
moment by a deathly stillness. Tlie
buttery at the heart and abdomen
were now disconnected, and nearly
all the semblance of life was observed.
At rtiis juncture the professor of

Boston, February 14.—There is
strong reason for the supposition that
Mrs. Nancy Madan, who tiled in East
Cambridge jail lust week, thus ending
u life sentence for tlie murder of Obe-
tliah Jones, was innocent of tlie
crime. She was formerly in Dedham
jail, but was transferred to East Cam-
bridge in 1871. During all tier im
prisonment she lias persistently main-
tallied her innocence, anti reiterated

death, at the services in the prison
chapel, she recited from memory
('ll list’s Sermon on tlie Mount, nnd
siie frequently expressed her forgive
ness of all who hud been concerned in
her trial und conviction. Her con-
duet during her imprisonment was
admirable, and Her daily attention to
