The rapidity with which fortunes are won
aud lost in this country is Just now brought
more striklngly than usual into prominence
by the fact that two Ofthe finest estates on the
continent are for sale to satisfy creditor The
one Is in New York State, and was owned by
broker, turfman and millionaire Few per-
sons were better known year or two ago or
lavished moHey more freely His country
place, now in the market, cost over three mil
lion dollars, and the grounds, cOnservatories,
stables and all other refnements of wealth end
luxury an expensive taste could indulge. are
unsurpassed. The whole place, it is said. will
now be sold for five hundred thousand dollars.
The other private residence is that Of OgontZ,
near Philadelphia, belonging to Jay Cooke
This cost one million five hundred thousand
dollars. 1t will be sold as its owner left it
with all its beautiful furniture, it's costly libra
res, ia picture gallery, its works of art, its
cORservatOries The house is palace, rival
ing in its bulk, at least, many of those of
England, and is probably the most pretentiOus
private residence in America
TAX ON MAsUIAGE-They have just had
debate in the ov. a. Legislature, as we had
i'll the Maryland Legislature some days since
in fixing fee for marriage Licenses, or rails
ing revenue at the expense of morality and
virtue, as one OF the Virginia members put
it, which, by the way, suggests this question:
Is 1t not as well to do that as to raise revenue
by licensing vice, as our civilized and Chris
tian communities generally do? One mem.
Der asked whether matrmOny could not be
taxed as a business, and whether the proceed,
OF such business might not be reached? to
which another responded that j. Was not pro
posed to tax 1t as business but as Il privilege.
ln reply to the argument that many We're too
poor to pay the tax-$2 80 was the amount
prOpONed-lt was answered that a man too
poor to pay the tax was too poor to get mar
ried. But old Virginia held on to her ancient
ways and struck the item from her tax hill
Maryland likewise holds to her time honorpd
practice, and still charges 81 50 for the blessed
privilege.
