Financial Eeeentricity.

A dispatch from Boston describes what is :
pleasantly called the financial eccentricily"
OF the late John P. Healy, an eminent law
yer and former partner Of Daniel Webster.
Mr.. Healy stood 80 high in Boston, oil
which city he was for many years corpora
tion counsel, that his services as trustee OF
executor Of large estates were much In
request. He was thought to be a man Of
means and model in his business. Death
rudely dispelled the illusion. His affairs
were found 10 be "at skies and sevens. u
Where there should have been thu incest
order there was inexcusable confusion.
There were no accounts. He had iumbl'
ed together his own funds and the funds Of
his clients so that the one could not be
told from the other. Loose memoranda
were scattered about, so iragmentary and
imperfect as 10 be Of service TO nobody
Money in wads, securities OF various kinds
bills and receipts were scattered through
his safe with nothing to throw light on any
Of It. About all that seems reasonably Ger
tain is that Mr.. Healey died poor, anG
his trust funds are about 100000 short
This is the way a great lawyer attended tt
the business OF his profession. To the bus
iness Of his household be gave very dif
ferent attention. Every expenditure how
ever small went into his expense book
every pound OF sugar and pint OF molas
ses, says the report. It may be imagined
that Mr.. Healy made home uncommonly
lively for Mrs. Healy.
The world is full Of Healys-men who
conduct business in confusion; hard work
ers, but usually so impatient for results thai
they will not give to the little dry detaili
OF order the few minutes ofattention which
count as years when they are neglected
Disorder is an element Of great weakness
to any man. There may be time and
measure Of success in spite Of it, but the
foundations are always bhaky-in Mr.
Healy's case they slipped from under with
his death. There was no sudden misfor
tune; death revealed the failure Of life
time.
The other type OF the Healy kind Of men
is much smaller and less tolerabie crea'
ture. He gives his wife dollar, and holds
her to strict account for q hundred cents
He buys or instructs her to buy the cheap
est cuts, and he follows the joints and roastt
through to their final disposition TO the
soap.iat man. He is keen on crumbs and
drippings, which have their uses, and be
has running account with rags. SIX
cents taken from the market money for cal
fare will not escape him. His wife il
merely his agent for the transaction OIL
certain businessmen his partner with
equal interest in the welfare Of the firm.
Not infrequently the Lord OF the House
hold carries an open purse when he ID
"out," is shall fellow well mel" and breaks
ten dollar bill as gaily as he does ten
cent piece. And sometimes he is consist.
entity close-mean in every relation.
The man who has wife he can not trus!
ought not to let her bankrupt him, but the
Healy kind OF men, for some reason, are
generally blessed with good wiyes-much
better than they deserve. It is not well to
be that kind OF man.
