What Constitutes n Rich Man.

The New York correspondent of the
Charleston Courier says:
Thirty years ago, a man in New York
was extremely rich who was worth 5000,
600, and very few were worth that. There
was old Nat Prime. of the firm of Prime
Ward IL King, John G.. Costcr, Robert Len
noy, Stephen Whitney, men worth II quarter
of million. Old John Jacob AStor was
worth three or four millions. The richest
men were connected with commerce. There
were then five or six leading commercial
firms, such rs G.. G. aud ). IIowlaud, Good
hue Il Co, Grinnell, Minturn & Co., and
Spoilord Il Tileston. Now there are as many
hundreds of leading firms, and man worth
only $250,OO0 is considered man in ''mod-
crate, not lo say "indigent circumstances.
Nm. L. AStor is worth about thirty-fve
millions; Geo. Law is worth ten millions :;
so is Stephen Whitney. Commodore Van
dcrbilt will not cut up less than eight mill
ions; dozens of people are worth five mill
ions, and mere "miliiOnaireS are quite COM
mon; and to furnish the Courier with a list
of this poor class would use up several COL
umnS. Our old merchants who have become
very rich did not make il in trade. When
they had done good yeats business, they
drew out $4,000 or $1,000 and bought real
estate. | passed lot yesterday that the
present owner once paid $4,000 for, and
has refused $500, 600 for it a dozen times.
The profits Of the merchants, small or large,
invested from year To year, years ago, have
made them vastly wealthy, without their
exactly cImprchcnding how.
