Death OF the Richest Man In England.

Richard GrOsvenOr, Marquis of West
minister, died in London on Sunday.
Early i'm the last century, Sir Rif,ard
Grosvenor married Miss Molly DaSies,
the daughter of gentleman of much
landed property i'm the county of Mid
dleseX, and, in few years, in cOnse-
uuence of the tide of fashion setting
westward, found that this same small
landed estate was, probably, for its size
destined to be almost the most valuable
in England. 1t now forms GrosyenOr
Square and the adjacent streets. Eigh-
ty wears ago, about the time when
George Iii. was making Improvements
at Buckingham House, now palace,
which had been purchased as Queen
Charlotte's dover house, the swampy
land between Hyde Park corner and
the Thames, was offered for E15, 900.
He declined it, and it was subsequently
purchased by the GrOsvenOrs. Many
years after it came into their possession
a very enterprising builder, Mr.. Cubitt,
persuaded the great banking house of
Smith, Payne & Smith to advance
money to him for drainage and build
ing purposes, and thus arose "Belgra-
via,h which, when the leases fall in,
will probably yield the present Mar
duis of Westminster s40O, 600 year.
Even this princely income, it is said,
will be largely exceeded by that of the
real estate owned by William B. Astor,
of New York, when the long leases OH
which, much of his property was rented
years ago, fall in. Indeed, there are at
least three men in this city, Messrs.
Astor, Vanderbilt and Stewart, whose
fortunes are scarcely exceeded in
amount TO the greatest in the Old
World.
Lord Westminster was curious
combination of generosity and mean
ness, and q hundred stories are current
illustrative of both these Characters
tics. He leaves several children. The
eldest, known as Lord Grosvenor, now
Marquis, is remarkably popular man
i'm this county-Chesire. The second,
Lord Richard GrOsvenOr, travelled ex-
tensively a year or SO ago i'm this cOun-
try, and it~was of him the Western far
mer inquired when Lord Richard told
him he lived on an allowance from his
father, but suppose the old fellow
should burst up my bOy? This was q
view of the matter which had not Oc-
Cured to the young man. 1t is COM
puted that the new Marquis will have
an income Of not less than G5OO,00O a
year. This somewhat exceeds that of
our own Crnsus, Mr.. Stewart.
Westminster's House, Eaton Hall,
near Chester, is the great show place of
that part Of England, and architecture
being the one expensive hobby of the
late nobleman, untold sums were spent
upon the decoration of this mansion.
One apartment is said to have e30, 900
expended upon it.
Lord Westminster took no very ac-
tive part in politics. His health had
long been in a precarious state.

Sixty years, my gentle wife,
You and have walked together,
Down the rugged road Of life.
From the hifls Of Spring we started, 8
And through all The Summer land.
, And the fruitful Autumn country,
We have iourned hand In hand.
We have born the heat and burden,
Toiltng Painfully and slow;
We have gathered in our harvest,
With rejoicing, long ego.
Leave the uplands for our children,
They are strong TO SOW and reap,
Through the quiet Winter iowlands
On our level way we keep.
lis dreary country, darling,
You and l are passing through;
But the road lies strright before us,
And the miles are short and few;
No more dangers to combat
No more hills to climb, true fr1end'
Nothing now but simple waking,
Till we reach our journeys emo
We have had our time Of gladness;
Twas proud and happy Gay, ~
All the proudest of our journey,
When we felt that we could say,
OF the children God hal given,
Looking fondly on the zen,
Lovely women are our oaus vs
And our sons are noble men
w. have had our time of sorrow- ~.
Our time of anxious fears,
when we could not see the miiestones
Tbroueh the blindness OF our tears.
In the sunny Summer country,
Far behind us, little May
And Willie. too, grew weary,
And we left them on the way.
Are YOU looking backward, mother,
That YOU stumble in the snow?
I am still your guide and stan, dear,
Lean your weight upon me, so.
Our road Is growing narrow;
And, what is il, wife you say?
Yes! know your eyes are dim, dear,
But we have not lost the way.
Cheer thee cheer thee fathful-hearted
Just little way before
Lies the great Eternal City
OF the King that we adore.

And the King, the King, my dear,
We have served him long and humbly
He will bless us, do not fear.
All! the snow falls fast and heavy:
How you shiver with the cold;
Let me wrap Your mantle cioSsr'
And my arm ound you iold.
We are weak, az faint, anu weary,
And the sun NV In the west;
We have reached the gates, my DARING,
Lektus tarry here ana rest.

In a recent trial in California, where
Chinese evidence was admissible, the
prosecuting attorney, having some
doubts as to the correctness of the testi-
mony, inquired of the interpreter
whether a Chineman, under the usual
oath, would tell the truth. "Oh, no."
responded John: "Chinaman he allie
same as you lie; allie same any Mclean
lie"

In Paris there died the other day an
old spinister who was known to all the
frequenters of the Luxembourg gar
dens under the lame of "The Bride of
the Elm." More than thirty years
ago the poor woman had been deserted
by her faithiess lover, who had his last
interview with her under one Of the
old elm trees in those gardens. Since
then the poor creature returned every
day to that tree, and sat there, no mat
ter how inclement the weather might
be, waiting for her lovers return.
When anybody attempted to persuade
her in rainy or cold weather to go
home, suggesting that the faithless one
would not return at all, she invariably
replied, 1T is false; he promised he
would return.v
