As a Christmas present to bis old

this very interesting letter. It will be

hopes for "Old Broadbrim" n Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year;
Llko tho wreck of a ship tyi a stormy
seo, all tho week scattered fragments
of nows havo drifted from tho sorrow
ful homo of Cyrus Field. Cyrus Field
is dying nnd cannot recover; Cyrus
Field is belter and Is not out of dan
ger; Cyrus Field has been robbed by his
son of his last penny, nnd Is now com
paratively a beggar; Cyrus Field has
still au Independent fottuno left, aud
Is yet many times n millionaire; Ed
ward M, Field has attempted suicide,
and is now confined lu n lunallo asy
lum. These and other like bulletins
followed each other In rapid succes
slon, keeping tho town aflame No
wonder; tho calamity which wrecked
the Field household had fallen on no
common family. The mind drifts back
to that memorable sccno in tho old
New England homo whero tho elder
lay dying. Around his bed were his
beloved children, grown to manhood
aud womanhood, and every one had
achioved an honorablo fame. Ono had
linked his namo with Immortality in
connection with tho first great ocean
cable that over span tied tho sea; another
had become ouo of tho foremost jurists
of his time; n third had reached tho
Supremo Bench of tho United States,
and was a possible caudldato for the
Presidency. With a record of uublom
Ished honor, not n member of tho fam
ily had cast n stain upon the namo of
tho Patriarch who lay patloutly wait
ing tho dread summons; no wonder
that his heart was gratoful to Al
mighty God; no wonder that his cup
of happiness was full to overflowing;
no wonder that llko tho jubilant pro-
phot of old, he exclaimed lu the full
ness of his soul, "Bless tho Lord that
mlno eves havo seen It; now let thy
sorvant depart in peace." Form all
our history tnero uas ucon no acain
bod sccno moro pathetic nor satisfac
tory than this. Cyrus, tho poor boy
who went forth from that Now Eng
land homo with no fortuno savo a
virtuous oducation and a father's
blessing, had inscribed his namo high
up on tho golden roll of fame, lu let
ters of living light uovcr to bo dimmed
or blotted out till tho judgment day.
Tho herolo part of this grand achieve
ment in laying tho Ocean Cable has
never been fully appreciated. In nttor
years, when men camo in contact with
tho busy financier, they thought him
harsn ana cola, auu nis manners urus-
que. remaps Ins manners were not
inviting, uut uou maao mm so. no
felt that he had tho mission of n pro
phot, and that his timo was nil too
short for tho completion of his work.
Every moment of tils timo was prec
ious. On tho wall of his New Eugland
schoolhouso ho had seen in rude let
tors tho motto, "Time is money," and
ho nover forgot It. The years of toll
and strugglo, of griof nnd disappoint
ment, which prccoueu ine succossnu
laying of tho ocean cable, left their
hard linos deeply engraven on his faco
nnd heart, and tho kind-hearted, gen
tle New England boy had grown into n
cynical man, suspicious and distrust
ful or uis Kind.
What wonder If ho had won the
battle of life if he had accumulated
wealth and mounted to power, ho had
done it by integrity of purpose aud
persistency or. ciiort, sucn us mo .Al
mighty grants to only ono In a hun
dred millions. To havo such a man
stricken down at tho closo Of a suc
cessful and honorablo life. Is a public
calamity, and tho heart of the whole
community goes out to mm in mis sun
hour of nfllictiou. Whatever misfor
tune or disgrace uttaches to the acts
of his lunatic son, the namo of Field
In this community remains without a
blemish or a staiu. tjyrus r iciu is an
old man now, worn with bitter grief,
but In the hour of his sorrow a ccneral
nraver rises dally to tho Throne of
Grace for his recovery and restoration
to his family aud menus, it, is n
pleasure to knov that, notwithstand
ing serious loss, ho is not by any
means a ruined man. Tho loss of a
few millions moro or less is not a now

know, that if all his fortuno could re
deem the honor of his son's namo ho
would scatter It to the four winds. It
Is only a few years ago since Jay
Gould and Russell Sago entered into a
combination, which cost Cyrus Field
several millions. They got Ids money,
and for n time he was threatened with
financial ruin; but ho survlvod that,
and this week ouo of the parties to
that transaction had au experience
that will last him for tho rest of his
life.
The attempted assassination of Rus
sell Sage, tho Wall Streot millionaire,
and the Inventor of that gambling
game known at Puts, Calls and strad
dles, awakens ono to the danger of bo-
lug a very ncn man in uieso nays oi
dynamite and other like oxplosivcs.

The Astors are very rich pooplo, but at

Astor's life been In danger. j.vcry
member of tho family, from John
Jacob to William Waldorf, has walked
these streets at all hours of tho day
and night, with no more sense of dan

Tho Vanderbilts are rich, and notwith

a hair of a Vandorbllt has been hurt,
and Chauncey M. Depew, tho presi
dent, can bo seen on mo streets at an
hours of tho day, uud tho thought of
personal danger never entered his
head. Governor Stanford, in ms long
public life, has never received on ao
count of his millions n word of disre
spect or insult; and old l'eter (Jooper
walked and rode about this city for
seventy years without fear Ho could
pass through tho slums, or along tho
worst part of the Bowery, and tho wild
little Arabs of tho streets took off
their ragged caps and stood uuoovcred
as the good old man totterod past.

it lie expected some one to speak to

he wanted to seo Mr. Sw To get a
signtoi any ot these huiimnairos in
thoir otllces Is almost ns difficult as to
get Into the Holy cf Hollos, or tho
sacred chambor of tho Grand Lama.
Mr. Sago was busy Mr. Sago could
not bo seen present; and on tho refusal
ot au interview, tuo strangor grew vio
lent, Mr. Sage hoard tho tumult from
within, and doubtless supposing that
It was a borrower who wanted monoy,
nnd that his bag was full of bonds and
stocks hurrlod out to seo what was the
matter. Tho stranger confronted him
with au immodiato demand for twelve
hundred and fifty thousand dollars on
tho pain of Instant death. Even with
Instant death staring him In tho faco,
Mr. Sago had no idea of parting with
Ills cash unless tho demander was
Crovided with plenty of collateral, so
o said to tho man with tho hoe "Oh.
you get out." This Is a favorite ex
pression of Mr. Sago s to needy bor
rowers, whose securities aro not trllt-
edged. "Oh, you get out," had hardly
passed his lips as ho turned to leavo
when tho stranger dashed his leather

Tho stranger himself was literally
blown to pieces; the offices were
wrecked ns if thoy had boou swept by
a cyclone; tho dead and wounded lay
among tho debris, nnd tho only living
thing that escapod comparatively un

objoct of tho stranger's vengeance,

For rears I have anilcinatod somo
such crimo as this. It is a crlmo that
is possiblo at any hour of the day or
night, and against which all safeguards
of society aro of no avail. The Czar
of Russia in broad daylight surround

death, '
A certain class of patriots, who bo
liovo In physical force, and who refuse
to be intimidated themselves, expect
to lutimidato England by blowing n
holo in the Parliament Houso, and
killing fifteen or twenty innocent wo
men or children. Tho murderous exe
cution of these now nnd terrible cxplo
sives and tho comparative ease with
which thoy can bo procured, places
the lives of tho best men as well os tho
worst at tho mcrcv of every murder
ous crank, whoso real or imlginary
wrongs lead him to seek this mode of
vengeance.
Jay Gould uud Russell Sago and
men of like ilk may not bo the most
lovablo persons on earth; but In their
nccuinmulations, while at times they
uotu navo strained our patience and
our faith, they havo kept within tho
pale of tho law, and doing so nre en
titled to all tho protection the law
cau glvo them. But who can protect
us from nn assassin llko tho avenger
of Friday last. What power can shield
us from such a danger? None, but
God ! Wo congratulate Mr. Russell
Sage on his fortunato escape, and
trust that his life may bo spared for
many years to bo inscribed on tho
Golden Roll of those who havo becu
tho benefactors of their kind. Ho'ls
credited with from seventy to a hund-
mllllons or dollars, moro money than
ho could reasonably spend on himself
if he lived till tho crack of doom.
This city has many thousands of sick
and suffering poor; within a week a
woman and her child starved to death.
Think of these things, Russell Sago,
aud cast part of thy abundant bread
upon tho waters. It may not return
till tho stream of eternity rolls by,
but you may find it recorded in the
Lamb's Book of Life "Whero puts and
calls ond straddles do not count, and
where your piled up millions will have
no more weight than the dust that you
trample beneath your feet." "Whoso
giveth unto tho poor lendeth unto tho
Lord. Work while It is yet day, for
the night comotli when no man shall
work." BROADBRIM.
