WOES OF WEALTH.
The Trials Of Men With Too Much Money
and Too Many Relatives.

National Associated Press to the Star.
New YORK, Feb. 22.-In 1874 an aged
grocer named Neil Dougherty, bachelor
without relatives, died, leaving a fortune
of 100000. After giving 5000 to an
orphan asylum and several small legacies to
friends, he directed that the bulk of his
estate should go for founding school in
Ireland.
AS no one who had known him suspected
he was incorrect in his assertion that he
had not single living relative, there is
much surprise over the information now
that there are cousins and nephews IN al
most every quarter of the globe being heard
from. Many are on hand already, and a
large company of lawyers engaged in the
case.
The Sun this morning says it cost Jona-
than Treman Wells, the rich and eccentric
MaiC en- Lane straw merchant, several thou
sand dollars to prove that he is not luna
tic. The late Thomas Lord proved that he
was not lunatic, but he had to surrender
his property for the benefit of his children.
To have too much money and too many
relatives is nuisance.

Strange Thunder Around Pixies
Peak.
GCnlnradn SnrinnS Gnzntta

A thunderstorm passed over the Peak
yesterday afternoon. The electrical dis
turbances were first noticed at p m., and
continued until 430. The claps or reports
followed each other in quick succession
and were quite loud, resembling those of
cannon about half mile distant, and
were accompanied by continued rumb-
ling noise, which was very uniform in
sound and distance. At $50 p. m. the
barometer on the Peak was compared with
the one at the college, the pressure being
| 011-inch less on the summit and the tenn
perature 1G degpees lower. Sergeant Choate
says it was thunder, but the strangest he
ever heard.

Mr.. lngraham was at first very angry
at Dram DmSmore's detection, but
when Dot said decidedly, 81 would
not have married him il had

mined to give up trying TO direct the
course of true love, making virtue OF

Dot was willing that nor father should

long rs he withdrew his opposition to

that She had won his heretofore mer-

true heiress, and that he valued one
glance of her bright eyes more than he
did the whole OF Dots supposed thous-

taken with her young namesake and
would not consent to take more than
half the property. The mistake about
her legacy has been the means Of draw.

Oranges and Lemons.

When young gentleman invests his
2 or 3 cents in an orange, or when a
person of more advanced years calls for
a squeeze of lemon" or "just shay
ing OF lemon peel" in his glass, the
thought is far from both their heads
that they are contributing their mites
to an industry which last year imported
into the United States at the port Of
New York total money value OF those
articles OF over 100000, on which
was paid to the government duty Of
more than $500, 600. Indeed. many po-
ltical economists may be surprised 10
learn from the report of the United
States inspector Of customs that the
value Of green fruit entered for con-
sumption at this port in the year 1878
aggregated $3,735,050, Of which oranges
and lemons amounted 10 81, S02 800,
grapes to $232, 000 bananas 10 nearly
$400, 600, and cocoanuts to nearly $780,
900. The duty collected on these
articles reached $500, 900, the cocoanuts
alone being free.
The extent Of the traffic may be
Imagined from the fact that the num-
Der o. oranges imported in cases last
year was nearly l70000. 600, and the
number OF lemons in boxes 2l8,o0O,00O.
II 10 evident that the business OF rails
ing oranges and lemons in the Gulf
States may one day become very profit
able. The duty Of 20 per cent, paid by
the importer is not the only protection
offered to the home grower. Out ofthe
case oranges imported last year more
than G0,000,000 persisted on the voyage
"a loss Of 36 per cent, while in lemons
the loss by decay reached 20 per cent.
These facts ought certainly to encour-
age the raising Of such fruit at home.
