A Millionaire and his Mansion.

Mr Cornelius Vanderbilt, the New York millionaire and railway king, has just opened his new palace with a grand ball. This modest home, which is to shelter about ten people during six months of the year, and to remain closed during the other six, stands at tho cprncr of Fifty-seventh street and Fifth Avanue, and has cost its owner £1,000,000, It is of Spanish design outside, built of grey stone, with red facings, turrets, and battlements. It is three storeys high, with a lofty attic. The ballroom is the largest private ballroom in New York, being 75fb long by 50£t wide, decorated in white and-gold Louis XIV. style. The ceil ing cost a fortune, and is made in the; form of a double cone, covered with painted nymphs and"cupids Round the comics are de^tately-inodeled flowers, each with M^fcctric light in its heart, while crystal chandelier hangs froHß^kentre, The waits on the night of tnlKening ball were covered from floor to ceiling with natural flowers, at a cost of £1000 j and tbe entertainment is said to have cost £5000. Adjoining the mansion is the most expensive garden for its size in the world, for although it is only the size of an ordinary city lot, the sum of £70,000 was paid for it, and a house which bad cost £25,000 to build was torn down to make room for the few flower beds.
