THE AsaOR fortune.

OF the actual sum in dollars of
which the late William B. Aston is es-
timated to have died possessed it ia
impossible for any one to form q con
ception. says the Boston Post
Even single million tran
sends the power of the minds grasp,
and how much more an estimate of
two hundred millions. If MIR. Peter
Cooper's Judgment as to Mr.. Astor's
aggregate wealth be CORE ct, the latter
died by far the richest man in Americ,.
Such fortune is simply colossal. 1t
ia moreover SO much a novelty in the
social development aud growth of this
country as to excite speculation IA to
the Influence which such vast accumu-
|ations of wealth are likely to have on
its future. In these later days la, ge
| fortunes have been 80 commoD that the
| Aston fOrtuue raises no such wonder as
t might have done years ago; vet il is
| too stupepd0us not to be contemplated
! with p sort of awe by those who make
| it the obi ct of ther lives to regard
money III TAG mental attitude OF wor-
rhip. 1t is certainly the first fo=tunr
Of any approximating its own size that
has remained here ditsry posseHsiop
in ar American family. Our Republi-
can statutes broke mp the primogeni-
ture spirit and the custom of entail,
and aimed to scatter and distribute
| again what had been accumulated with
| such care. The founders we're jealous
| of that growth of power in families
which through the recognized inf1u-
ences Of money might come to estab
fish an aristocracy.
Generally speaking, tbs scattering
system has prevailed; but now and
:hen, az i'll the present case. family
arises of such peculiar stock that the
passing down of it's fortune from one
| generation to aDother is as much a
matter of pride as the heredity of
talent and genius. We have few
well-known instances of the latter III
the country, but the Aston fortune, we
| think, is the first one OF any special
note that has descended with the full
momentum of Increment to the third
generation. Some men are fond of
leaving theirproperty to grandchildren
of their own name In order to perpet-
| uate what has cost them so much care
and yielded them such a harvest OF
pride; but the instances are few where
the eldest son has taken the parental
treasure, nursed and tended it with
even a pious care, and aided to it's di,
mansions to his latest year, that SOL
of his own might take the augmented
result from his hands and go on with
the work of rolling it up for fourtl
AMI even later generation. There il
little danger that such a custom viii
be extensively followed. Not every
man regards investments as his fathel
and grandfather did. If anything i,
secure in new country like oHrs it i,
real estate, and fortune largely be
slowed in that class of iuvcstm: ut.
may be regarded as perhaps more per
manent than in any other. The prob
lem is, however, TO find series o
generations every one of which is con
tent to keep that line, to i've simply
20 work hard, and to make the care o!
money the sole business of life
