THE DOCTOR'S PATIENT.
Doctor Miller, poor but tulcutcd, had
. . 1,, .,.
woiKctt so iinru nil Biiiiunur, inni now.
Into in Auuuat, 01m of tlio doctors in
tlio hoiititl 1 1. til insisted on lim going
to the sc;t siilo lor a tow days lo recup
erate; nnd Miller, although ill nhlo to
afford it, had felt the necessity of it,
nnd had gone.
IJuiiiiK his twcniy-iottr nourst nway
0 hnd n patient nt the name hotel.
It wns the companion ot I lie ncn,
fashionable Mrs. Cliatiiljcrlyn.
'Providential, ho said to himself, sit
ting there vaguely listening to the deep
toned inuic of tho sea. ! can lemain
ierc n little longer it 1 mil paitl for my
service here.'
It wns two o'clock before ho left the
sick girl, with tho oppression almost
gone from htr chest and licr pulse
liiietcil tlown.
blm was able to tliank nun with a
verv sweet smile wnen lie leit her lor
the uiuht.
After breakfast ho returned to No.
29.
Tho elder lady received him gracious
ly, introducing herself.
llio youiiK lady, Miss uowcii,
whose lifo I beliovo you have saved is
a companion to me, hut 1 nm almost as
much attached to her as it she wero a
'dative. I shall pay her bill, of course,
ami wish you to continue to attend up
on her as long as there is tho slightest
need of your services, doctor.'
The smile ot crntittidc with which
the patient welcomed her physician
thrilled him as no smile had over before
thrilled him.
There was fever, of course, for her
illness had been brought about by stay
in lt too lont: bathing on the beach; and
it must take some days and great care
to recover from so sudden and severe
an attack; but present danger was over,
the voiinc doctor assured them.
iurs Uhamberlyn learned that he was
from the city; she know two or three
of the creat physicians and would talk
about them; she took the liberty of ask-
w' two or three questions about him
self, and was polite enoiiKh lo say she
thought that there was no place like
the city lor a medical man 01 talent.
In fact, this rich old lady had taken
a fancy to the handsome young doctor,
and wai pleased to show her interest in
hun.
It even came into her scheming head
that hero was a good match lor her
favorite, Roma Howell.
What a romantic tinner it would bo

come.
Mrs. Chamberlyn becamo so enthusi
astic that she resolved to make the pair
a wedding present ot a house, it they
would only do as she wished and tall in
love with each other.
Well, it all came about as sho wish
ed.
Dr. Miller who had come for a week,
remained three.
What did it matter so long as his
fees paid his expenses ?
l et, as lie admitted to ins conscience,
Miss lloma Howell was no longer ill,
he could no longer accept pay for the
visits which hail changed into hours ol
keenest happiness.
lie would not leave the hotel so long
as she remained.
Sim might be careless and exposo her-
selt to a second attack.
Most of tho visitors had departed; it
was September. Ho ought to go; what
was to be dono t
What a miserable thing it is to bo
poor!
lie was taking noma lioweu out tor
her first walk on the beach.
As ho spoke he sat down on the
warm sand the camp stool ho was car
rying and placed her on it.
'Why! she asked, looking up with
those laughing, lovely eyes, '1 1
nover been so very miserable.
'1'erhaps you aro willing always to
bo poor, then ?' he said, with a gao so
intense that, although sho tried bravely
to face it, tho silken fringes would sink
lower. 'Tho girl who marries mo will
have- many hardships to encounter.
Daro you bo that girl ?'
fcmo sat silent lor a moment, rvhile ho
stood by her side, tho imago of despair.
llo had not meant to be betrayed in
to such a question for a long timo yet,
but his passion had played him a sud-
leu trick, anil tho question was aaketl.
'I could dare tho very worst of pov
erty if I were certain yo,i loved me,'
she answered him at length.
'Love you ltoma T You may know
how I lovo when you seo how you
havo made mo break my good resolu
tions. I had planned for years of work
and struggle before I could hopo to ask
lor anything so sweet ns a wites love;
but you, with your bewildering eyes,
your templing lips, and your glorious
soul Oh, Hoinal to havo a friend, com
panion, a pwect partner such m you
would be, dearest, 1 would bo having
my heaven ns I went along.'
As ho bent to look into her drooping
face a rude hand came down on her
shoulder like a blow a voice, frightful
with tho ling of a dozen ovil passion.
said;
'I havo found you Mrs. Chase, at last.
Just ns I expected to find you. Aro
you nwnre, sir, that you nro making
love to another man's wilo!'
'Another man's wife!' repeated Dr.
Miller; and ho reeled as if the insolent
stranger had struck him iu the face,
while Koma, with a faint ory, sank
down insensible nt his feet.
It was tho evening following tho
afternoon of that i-uetio on the beach.
Dr. Miller had sought Mrs. Chain-
berlyn, who was talking on, trying to
exonerato hersuit,
'Of couifo I had not tho least idea
that sho was a married woman. Sho
camo to mo last February in reply to
my ndverllsemeiit torn companion; her
references were of the boat, nnd 1 had
no reason to suspect her of being nu
ndventnrcss. Sho is not tho wrong-doer,
whoever eiso may be.

Buchanan's Biography,

tion Harper cc mothers have in press
and announce for publication very
soon a biography of James liuchan
an, by Georgo Ticknor Curtis. That
such a biography will be of the high
est interest and value it is not neces
sary to say. Tho truo history of Mr.
Buchanan s administration has up to
the present time been a profound
secret, hor while an immense deal
has been written about it, no writer
has had any documentary authority
for his estimate of the motives, niton
tions and prevailing counsels of the
president and cabinet in tho trying
times which preceded tho war. From
tho later history of such men as Cass,
Dix, Stanton, "Holt nnd others, it has
been generally regarded as settled
that Mr. Buchanan was alone respon
siblo for tho course of his aduiinistra
tion. But tho history of that adminis
tration hitherto published has been in
largo part conjectural and imaginary
It is of tho highest importance that
that history should bo known. Tho

Peter Cooner was bom on Feb. 12.
1791, in tlio city of New York. His
mother's father, John Campbell, wan n
deputy iiuarteniaster and an Alderman
of New York during the Revolutionary
war, and saenhced

His father was a
country's behalf.
Lieutenant in tho Revolutionary army,
and after the war mado a competency
in the manufacture of hats in New York.
When Peter was about 3 years old his
father bought a placo at Peukskill, N.
Y., where tic csiabltdied a country
store and built a church. His hat bus
iness was continued on in Now York,
and Peter learned, when he was not
much taller than the leg of the table,
to pull the hair out of rabbit skins.
Siiqsequently ho learned to make every
part ot a hat. While at l'cekskill his
father went into the business of mak
ing bricks, and Peter's services wero
utilized In carrying and handling bricks
for the drying process. As this did
not prove profitable enough, his father
resumed the ale business at Newburgh,
N. Y.. where Peter worked until ho
was nearly 17. The first $10 that ho
1 . 1 ... .!..!.. .
saved was invested in lottery tickets,
which all drew'blanks, and impressed
him with tho folly of gambling
In his seventeenth year ho was np
irenlioed to the busines of coach mak
ng, receiving $2.5 a year for his servi
ces, lie worked hard nights at coacn
carving and saved money. He mado
tor his employer a machine tor mor
tising tho hubs of carriages, tho first of
tho kind in tins country. J. tils em
ployer offered to set him up in busi
ues, but he declined, llo had a hor
ror of being in debt, and ho never lost
that feeling.
At the termination of his apprentice
ship Peter Cooper went to Hempstead,
L. 1., where ho worked ..or threo years.
earning $1..0 a day making machines
lor shearing cloth, llo saved enough
out of Ins wages to buy the right to
manufacture the machine in the State
of Now York on his own account,
Tho first money ho reveived for tho
sale of these machines was from Mr.
Vassar, tho founder of Vasar College,
When Peter Cooper found himself
possessed of $000, which was to him
a small fortune, 'with that generosity
M'hich matked all his life, ho gave it to
his father who was then involved in
business difficulties. This and other
gifts saved his father from failing.
The war ot 1812 created so great a tie
maud for the cloth-shearing machines
that Mr. Cooper sold them ns fast as
thev could bo made. His inventivo
genius suggested an important iin
provement in tho machines, which in
creased his profits. The principlo of it
was tho same ns that ot a modern mow
er. lie always spoke ot it with pride,
His first venture in mercantile busi
ness was a grocer opposite tho Cooper
Union. Ho had a twenty year's leaso
of this property, and built four dwell
ing houses there. With the profits of tlio
cloth shearing and grocery business ho
purchased a gluo factory on the old
"Middle road," between Thirty-first nnd
Ihiity-fourth streets, paying for it in
cash, as was his custom in all opera
tions. lie did not believe in loans
mortgages, or banks, and prided him
self on doing busines on a cash basis,
He manufactured glue, oil, whiting,
prepared chalk, and isinglass for twen
ty one years at that place. Then ho
moved that business to Jlaspeth ave
nue Brooklyn, where it is still carried
on, Ho made many improvemons in
the manufacture or (Intercut articles.
especially of isinglass, which up to his
l .. ., , ' :.,
isinglass alono secured him a fortune.
Tho secret of !t was that when Russian
isinglass was selling at $ I a pound ho
produced nu .article that could bo used
is a substitute, and which cost him
about 10 cents n pound, while it readi
ly sold for 75 cents a pound.
Une ot tho very few instances in
which Mr. Cooper was imposed upon
by sharpers iu business was in 1828,
when two men persuaded him to unito
with them iu tho purchase of 3.000
acres of land at Baltimore, Md., being
tho whole shore for threo miles from
Fell's Point .dock. Mr. Cooper soon
found out that his associates hnd no
capital, ami that ho was furnishing nil
the monoy tor the enterprise. IIo got
rid of them at their own price and took
all of tho property into his own hnnds,
expending $102,000 for tho 'land. IIo
then erected tho Canton iron works
which ho subsequently sold to Mr. Ab
bolt of Baltimore.
Peter Cooper tireless energy and
npt invention wero well displayed in
this enterpiiso. The original plan in
volved expectations of an oarly com
pleliou of the Baltimore and Ohio
Uailroad, but many short turns iu the
road seemed to mako It Impossible to
draw trams upon it with tho locomo
lives then known. Peter Cooper do
vised and constructed at his own ex
penso n locomotive which overcame the
dilhculty, nml pot only afforded trans
portntiou to his now property, but snv
ed the road from bankruptcy. Tlio
construction of this locomotive involv
etl tho uso of what is now known as the
tubular boiler, one of which Mr. Coop
er mane out oi old gun Panels. 11
was very fond of dwelling upon this
iiiiimpii ot ins mccnuuicai skill, and
entitled to tho credit of having built
tho lit st successful locomotlvo engine
used on this continent
Finding that tho wood on nil uni ts of
his property was being stolen, ho deter
mined to utilizo it on tho spot. Ho
had four or fivo hundred tons of iron
oro'raisod nt Lazarcth point, nnd devis
ed a plan to ma'.io charcoal out ot tho
wood for tho purpose of making char
coal iron. Ho had somo largo kilns
erected, and mado the charcoal success-
fully, but ho nearly lost his lifo on that,
occasion at ono of the kilns. It no-
pears that tho conl took firo and all tho
efforts of tho woikmen to extinguish it
failed. Mr Cooner went to tho door of
tho kiln to seo what could bo done.

n a sheet of llame. His eyebrows.

oiw iniurv. He built n rolling mill on tion of Third avenue, Eighth Btreec,
tho property, but finally sold out to tho
Canton Comtan. Ho took somo of
his pay in stock at $41 n share, and
kept it up till it went up to 822:5 a
share so that, although he was imposed
upon tn tho beginning ot the enter-
prise, ho camo out with a very hand
some profit nt the end of it. Ho next
bought a property in Thirty-third
street, near Third avenue, nnd built nn
iron factory, which he soon turned
into a rolling mill for rolling
iron and making iron wire. Alter
sotno years ho removed tho business to
Trenton, N. J., where he bought pow
er. enlarged the works, and built a mill
and wire factory, employing hundreds
ot men. A few years later ho built at
Phillipsburg the three largest blast fur-
naces then known. He afterward
bought tho Andover mines, and built a
railroad eight miles long to bring the
oro to tlTo furnace at tho rate of -fO,-
000 tons a year. After running the
works several years, be disposed of
them to a stock company, which also
took in tho Trenton Iron Works, inclu
ding a second rolling mill and wire
works, and 11,000 acres known as tho
Ringwood property. Finally the oper
ations of the company were contracted
and Mr. Cooper resumed possession of
tho Ringwood property, which was
then earning aboi $200,000 a year.
Ho gave his 'business to his son, Ed
ward Cooper, and his son in-law,
bram S. Hewitt, and it is still owned
and conducted by Cooper it Hewitt.
In one of Mr. Coopers Kiugwood
mills was rolled tho first of the iron gird-
ers such as are now commonly used iu
fireproof buildings. 1 lie idea ot mak
ing 6uch girders occurred to Mr. Coop
er when ho was planning llio tjooper
Union building. Wishing to make the
building fireproof, he sought iron gird
ers in the market, but could hnd none.
Then he determined to make them in
his own mills, ll.it bofore ho succeed-
ed he expended S7.r.000 in experimen-
tal machinery. Tho great cost was
owinc to the fact that nt first there
was no adenuato conception of the
enormous strength of machinery re-
quired to do tho work. Tho investment
proved a profitable one in the end, ns
his mills wero required to mako many
more such girders after lie hnd produc-
ed the first. Other manufacturers,
however, camo in for a part of the ben-
efit of his experience, because ho did
not seo fit to patent tho process that
cost him so much timo and money to
produce. ,
As President of the New York,
Newfoundland, ami London Telegraph
Company ho was associated with Mar-
shall O. Roberts, Moses Taylor, Wil-
son G. Hunt, Cyrus W. Field, and oth-
ers. They steadily paid out money for
fourteen years, without return, in tlio
confident hope of ultimately perfecting
telegraphic communication between
Europe and tho United States. They
lost the first cable that was laid across
tho Gulf of St. Lawrence, a misfottune
which cost them between three and
four hundred thousand dollars. This
occasioned a delay of a year and a half,
But at length the line, lo Newfound
land was completed, and after vigor
ous efforts tho requisite capital was se-
cured for tho laying of the
first ocean cable. English capital
was obtained to take part of the risk, whole power of coining money or issu
and the first ocean cable was laid. It ing money entirely in the hands of tho
worked until -100 messages were receiv-
ed. nnd then gnvo out. But the testi-
mony that the lino had worked was so
conclusive uiai oilier capital was secur
ed. Peter Cooper maintained his con
fidence in the ocean cable from the
first and in company with Moses Tay
lor, Cyrus W. Field, Marshall O. Rob-
ci ts and others, got up tho subscription
for laying tho second cable, which was
unfortunately broken anil the end lost
in inid-ocean. Peter Cooper did not
even then loso faith, but kept on ad-
vancuig his simro ol the money, nnd
ft i
was one of tho chief stockholders in
.1 il.i 1 1 1 ".1 t. .j
tno company mat, unu mm inu ursi sue-
cessful ocean cable.
In the many enterprises that. Peter
Cooper entered into, ho derived much
ndvnntngo from his nptitutie lor me
chanical invention At lf ho made a
pair of shoes and the lasts on which
they wero made. While he wns nn
apprentice nt coach making, he planned
at iilgni mo moiiei ot a macuiue to
utilize tho power of tho rising nnd
fnlling of tho tide. His conception
wns to store up tlio power in coiiipres-
ed air, nnd use tt in mills or on boats.
Robert 1' ulton inspected the model,
but wns too much occupied witli steam
navigation to givo it much nltention,
and tho invention wns never used,
Another ot his inventions was a sub
stitute for the crank motion. This he
npplied to tho first locomotive used on
(he Baltimore nnd Ohio Railroad, but
for some reason it was discarded. Bo
fore tho water was let into the Erie
canal, Peter Cooper devised a method
of propelling tho boats by means of a

Mr. Wcltcli wns somewhat astonished
to find that ho had been anticipated

In early life, winio airs, uoopcr was
preparing tho lrugal meals lor tno
lamiiy, I'ctcr wns required to iock mo

constructed a machino that not only
rocked the cradle, but kept olt the llies
and played a musical box for tho future
Mavor of New York.
Tho great work of Peter Cooper s
life, which has endeared hun to tho
citv of his Willi, bins gift to tho pco
ilo of tho Cooper Union for tho ad
vanccmement of Science and Art,
and Fourth avenue. The cost of tho
building was S030.000. The total cost
of building and education has been
about $2,000,000. Part of tho expense
is defrayed by tho rents ot tho stores
in tho basement ot the building, out
Mr. Cooper's donations were constant
and sulhcient to keep the nisitittioii out
of debt. His last gift was the erection
of another Btory at a cost of $00,000.
An illustration ol his lorethougnt is
shown in tlio fact that when the plans
of tlio building were made, about twon-
ty-five years ago, he caused a tower to
be reserved for an elevator, which is
now running. That was long before
passenger elevators wero thought of
for general use.
Peter Cooper always took a deep in
tercst in all public measures of his na
tivo city. lie was one of tlio foremost
promoters of the Croton water works;
he served in tho School Boards and the
Common Coyneil, and ho was always
among the great powers behind the
throne. Yet, in spito of his past public
eervices, ho never received but $00 of
public money. This was his compensa
tion when he was an Alderman, acting,
as the law then required, as an associate
Judge. Ho wa one of tho prominent
movers in the Citizens Association, and
contributed largely to the exposuro of
tho nelarious practices of tho Tweed
Ring. Although always a Democrat
in politics, ho was never enough of a
partisan to support bad men because
they belonged to his party.
His huaiicial views as the candidate
of the Greenback party for the Presi
dency in 1870 wero widely circulated,
and the literature ot the subject is enor
mous in extent. Although he received
but 81,737 popular votes, he lost none
of his enthusiasm in tho cause of what
ho believed to be financial reform, and
he generally carried with him n plenti-
ful supply of documents for distnbu-
lion, llo nover tired of saying that ho
never trusted tho banks, and that he
considered them quite unnecessary for
conducting sound business. He was
particularly opposed to the National
Currency act, and could never seo why
tho national banks should receive such
immense sums in tho way of interest,
which, lie thought, could bo saved for
the people, llo believed that it was a
diro calamity that Congress refused to
mako the national money receivable as
interest on the pubhc"debt and lor du-
ties on imports. He also opposed the
contraction of the currency as an act of
financial suicide. Ho predicted that
the resumption of specie payments
would prove a failure, and did not fall
into the error of giving John Sherman
the credit for tho good crops that made
resumption possible. IIo believed it to bo
tho duty of Congress to furnish all tho
inhabitants ot the L nitcd States a re-
deemable, uniform, and unfluctuating
national currency. IIo was not in favor
ot an unlimited issue ol paper money,
but believed that if the Government
should issue money without discredit
ing it by refusing to take it lor taxes,
the danger of financial fluctuations
would bo largely diminished. His idea
was that such a cuirency would bo self-
regulating, and that tho natural laws
ot trade would keep enough ot it m
circulation and prevent tho use of too
much of it. lie believed in placing the
Government. He would require the
Government to mnko tins currency at
all nines, nnd nt tno option ot tno in
titviuuiii, uuuvemuiu uhu iiiLL-ient,-ueut
ing tiovcrnment bonds. llieso views
ho"" advanced in letteis to the press, to
public ollicers, to public meetings, in
speeches, and in conversation, IIo re
pudiated tho idea that Ins ideal curren
cy was like tho Continental currency in
nny other respect than iu its power to
save tho nation.
Mr. Cooper believed that tho triumph
i i
0f us ideas upon tho sub ect of Gov
eminent would prove a greater bono-
I . .. . ....
taction to his country than nny ot his
material gifts. Ono'of bis late'st works
was tho publication during tho present
year of n voluino of 100 pages entitled
"Ideas for n Science of Good Govern
ment, in addresses, letters, and articles:
on a strictly national currency, tat iff,
nnd civil service."
Mr. Cooper wns reputed to bo a very
wealthy man, but the extent of his for
tuno is known only to his imniediato
family. IIo gave away millions to his
relatives, besides tho millions that ho
gavo to tlio Cooper Union. His bone-
tactions iu other directions havo been
enormous, l'eoplo never tired ot ask
ing him for money. His daily mail
brought him bushels of begging letters.
Ho was besought to engage tn all sorts
of wild schemes of benevolence, and to
contribute to tlio most pressing individ
ual needs. lt would havo required
moro than tho labor of ono person to
answer theso letters, nnd many of them
went unanswered. Hut many ot them
met with success. Ho was literally
giving nil the lime. How much monoy
Mr. Cooper did make will probably
m ver bo known to thn Dublin. Hp re.
served something for himself ns a
source of income for his ninnliiL o.v.
nouses, but it is until In linnr no nnnsiil.
Lrnblo propoition to tho vast fortune

family said that Mr. Cooper's will wns

tho hnnds of Mr. Hewitt, and that but
a comnnrntivelv sutnll hiimi u-.-is left fni
Mr. Cooper to dispose of, ns ho hnd nl-

Gideon Tiee, n liveryman of Lewis-
town, denied tho other dny thnt ho had

his mouth whin ho fell under a para
lytic stroke and died iu a few moments.
