EXAGGERATED ACCOUNT OF WEALTH

Few things are more exaggerated than
the amount of property men own If
they can justly lay claim to 100000 of
representative value, they are usually set
down at $500, 900 at least, and often at
81 100000. When they die, their estates
are reported more nearly Alright; but
even then the overestimate continues.
The late Caleb Cushing is good illus
tration of this. When his decease was
annunced he was asserted to have left
something like 81, 100000, which his
friends knew to be greatly enlarged. al
though they believed him to be in COM
Portable circumstances. He had never
got any money to speak of until he made
Washington his home and entered upon
practice there. Some years before his
death he received several very large fees,
and 1t was common to say, "Cushing is
growing rich in his old age" 1t is now
discovered that he has left very little, if
anything, available-not enough, even.
to pay debts due some of his kinsmen.
Cushing was not a good manager, nor
was he, in any sense, practical. He had
lived to be well nigh eighty; he had been
some thirty five years q widOwer; never
had children or any one to depend on
him. He had, to the last, extraordinary
health; he had filled important and re-
munerative positions; had enioyed a
large practice, which should have been
very lucrative; and had always lived
most simply and economically. Never
theless he died poor, as so many men of
intellect and culture have done. He had
a most remarkable talent for mental ac-
qusition-he had one of the best stored
minds ofhis time-but scarcely any fac
ulty for money getting. The head that
gam scholarship and the hand that gains
dollars are very seldom united.
