DEAR SIR: The committee of the
Iloard of t‘ouucilinen has carefully con-
sidered your letter of recent date. It
seems to them that a passage under the
track at Monroe street would afford the
Washington street crossing it hardly
appreciable relief. and gates at the latter
iomt are feared as a very serious public
inconvenience. It is thought that the
crossrng can he rendered sutliciently
safe for the ireseiit. and a long time in
the future. In‘ the llaubury & Norwalk
and New York. New Haven & Hartford
Railroad companies running their trains
over the crossing at a lower rate of
speed. and together maintaining two
flagnien there from say 6 a. in to 11
p. m.. and one man during the re-
mainder of the twenty-four hours.
The committee has not been able to
convince itself that any portion of the
expense of properly flagging the cross-
ing should be borne by the city.
"If the railroad companies are disposed
to care for the crossing in this way.
which it is believed the public interest
demands the city government would be
pleased to receive an intimation to that
effect at an early day. In the-absence
of such action on the part of the com~
ies. the onlv recourse left for the
city will be to obtain from the Railroad
Commissioners the fullest manner of
relief that they can be induced to grant.
Very respectfully yours.

I will endeavor to confer. at an early

Correspondence.
We copy the following to illustrate
our topic. and sincerely trust some at
least will copy i fter this great man in
the one mint we Single out for our
theme: atthew Riley. the broker, to
whom Mr. \Viltiam II. Vanderbilt. gave
the trotting horse Leander. two years
ago. has his othce at 115 Broadway. He
in a lover of horses, and was a warm
friend and admirer of Mr. Vanderbilt.
He says. Every afternoon when I could
get away .Mr- \ anderbilt would come
around with his trotters and take me
along for a drive. A very warm feeling
grow between us. a feeling of real love
on my part. and of sincere regard at
least .on his. I any love. and you shall be
the Judge when show you a letter that
he wrote me. a letter so full of kindness
that I cannot tell you the comfort it has
been‘to me. In I876. two years after
meeting Mr. Vanderbilt. I went to Phil.
adelphia and became manager of the
tirand Exposition IIotel. Since 1874 I
had been in correspondence with Mr.
Vanderbilt. always hearing from him
once a month. and often once a week. I‘ll
tell you one reason right here why he
liked me. I never drank. smoked or
chewed in my life. and he said one day:
‘If you had no good habits. Itiley. you
could say anyway that you‘ve not three
bad ones. and I like you for that.‘ Mr.
Riley held out a closely written letter.
It was worn at the creases from constant
carrying in the pocket. and Iooked as
tho‘hgh it had been many times read. It
was written on a sheet of ladies‘ letter
paper. across the top of which was
stamped in red ‘43»? Fifth avenue.‘ It
was undated. and was as follows:"

Mr. Riley ‘s interest at heart:

Letters that proved to ho l'pllftliig l.c-\~
er- niul l‘ropclllng Forces.
The above letter was written in ‘76.the
season of the \Vorld‘s Exposition in
Philadelphia. In 1874 Mr. Vanderbilt first
became actptainted with Mr. Riley. who
was at that time clerk in Congress Iii-ill.
Saratoga. and we tind from that date un-
til the time of his death be manifested a
personal interest in the welfare of Mr.
Riley. who in ‘76. went to Philadelphia.
and then the good advice and words of
cheer \vere monthly or weekly sent by
letter. No doubt Mr. ltiley at the pres-
ent time looks back and plainly sees that
this apparently simple thing was what
formed the main 9 iring of his life. was
just what furnish the lever that crowd~
ed him along. There are a great many
excellent ponds and characteristics in
the life of Mr. Vanderbilt. \Ve single
this one out for numerous reasons. First.
because we believe it to be a good exam-
ple to follow. Again. because we think
it is so simple in itself that most. readers
would be apt to overlook it. Again.
"and a quite important feature to all.“
it would cost us but a trifle to adopt and
carry out. a similar line of action. \Vith
these and many more reasons. all of
whicltare favorable. it seems as if there
should be no hesitating on the rt of
any to inculcate the same into their own
life. \Ve give one more reason which
overreaches those already given. and that
is. that. engaging in such a line of ro-
ceedure would yield us a great dca of
pleasure. and bring to others a vast
amount of benefit. and uplifting stimu-
lus to go ahead and make better men
and women of ourselves. “'9 call to

complish for some worthy young man or
young lady just what Mr. Vanderbilt
did for and produced in Mr. Riley. Sup-
pose each of these twenty persons we
now have in our thoughts should each
single out here in their own city some
young person, just coming to manhood
or womanhood. and about. starting into
actual life for themselves, on their own
responsibility and resources. either to
success ora failure of the future. and
each month or each week would ad~
dress them a letter, and give- them oc-
casionally a personal interview, saying
to them: “I have at. heart your interest
and welfare. I want. to see you make
more of yourself than the present out-
look seems to promise. It would give
me lensure to see you, step by step,
clim up the grade of improvement.
And remember in me you have a friend.
I shall watch the course you pursue. I
don‘t want you to disappoint me in my
expectations of you. and should you
come to some spot that seems to be
impassable to get over alone, come to
me and I will assist you over; only let
your path be always straight ahead;
eager to advance. Don‘t stop for the
opinion of this one or the other one.
but ush on; drive with a will; stick till
the t blow has been struck. And if
there arises any great hill of difficulty
that unassisted on can‘t surmount, let
me know. and will help on up and
over. Don‘t go around it use It
would be easier." What do you so

very little means it would require. to ac- '

able thing that the voung man or lady
would do less in a single instance ? No!
a hundred times no! This would be
their reasoning: I must meet the ex-
pectaiions of this kii‘d fr‘r‘nd- who has

furrow and hoe a longer row. It would
be unfair on my part to lessen a single
effort in any direction. No l 1 will work
harder. and with more pleasure. I will
not leave a single thing undone in order
that I may have my kind friend realize
at least a good share of what he desires
to see me become. No. that young man
and that young lady would work twenty

rather than disappoint you. my 2”“

breaks over them?
“'ill you become to some one of them
