Sir Richard Grosvepor, Marquis Of West
minister. who died in London Monday, was net
distinguished in politics, though he had some
influence, but be was the possessor OF probably
the largest estate in England. His wealth was
enormous, yielding, it is said, an annual income
o. nearly three millions of dollars. The man.
ner in which this vast fortune was obtained
was remarkable. The first Earl Grosyepor was
in comparatively slender circumstances, but
was the owner of large tract of low, marsby
land IN Westminster, which yielhed him but
httie and which was regarded as of little value i.
Inc rapid growth of Londod towards the laud
attracted the attention of master builder
named Cubitt, who leased number of the
uDproductive acres, turned them into city lots
and began erecting houses. The value of the
property now Increased with marvellous rapid
iiy. Upon it was built the present aristocratic
portion of London known as Pimilo and Bel
gravia. Cubitt acquired immense wealth by
his enterprise; but the lucky owner obtained
the lions share. In few years, it is stated,
the lots leased by Cubitt will revert to the pres
ent owner, whose fortune will then be increas-
ed to probably $4yOOOOOO per annum.

JUDGE HARLOW S. ORION, an old war
horse OF the Democracy inWisconsin, who had

he couldn't fill his engagements beca ,se
there's nothing logical to be said on that side
