The Vanity of Vast Riches.

There are, it is said, five hundred per-
sons in New York who have each So ,OOo,-
900 and upwards. Stewart, though with
out children or kindred, died worth $780,
OOO, 200, and bequeathed not dollar to
the city. Cornelius Vanderbilt and VIM.
III. Vanderbilt passed away with untold
wealth, and merely made their rich chill
dren richer. Robert L. and Alexsndsr
Stewart, brothers, the former childless.
the latter bachelor, had millions, and
gave nothing to perpetuate their name.
Moses Taylor accumulated $40 900, 900 in
New York, aud, though his children al
ready had fortunes, settled bis enormous
estate wholly on them. Robert and Peter
Goelet, both opulent beyond the dreams
of avarice aud having no immediate heirs,
bestowed their opulence on their nephews,
not surrendering dollar to charity or
municipalism.
No city in the Union is so deficient as
New York in what the commercial capital
should have. 1t is without a great art
gallery, without proper public library.
without great free hospital, without a
representative university. So lacking is
it in this regard that it might be minor
town instead of the metropolis. Boston,
Baltimore. Chicago, Cincinnati and other
cities put it to shame. They can boast of
public.spirited citizens; New York has
next to none. New York should own
property, the result of endowments, worth
at least 5000, 100000 but 100000 or
$s.OO0,00O would cover all it has.-Er.
Charlotte home and Democrat., 1886-11-19

The MECHANICS LIEN LAw.-Mr. Sut-
ton, Of Cumberland, one of the successful
democratic candidates for the Legislature,
during the campaign, claimed that he had
bill in preparation, which, if elected, he
Intended to offer as an amendment or sub
stitute for the present .mutilated Mechan-
ic's Lien Law. If we are correctly in
formed, Mr.. Sutton's proposed bill eau
thorizes the builder of house to demand
of the contractor an affidavit that he has
paid his hands for the work done on the
contract if theowner does not hold such
affidavit, and has settled with the con-
tractor, the mechanic can still look to the
owner for pay and take lien on the
property !; il, however, the contractor has
made an affidavit without having had full
settlement with his mechanics, be can be
indicted for perjury.
"A better bill than Mr.. Sutton's, for the
protection of the carpenter or bricklay or,
was once on the statue books of the State,
adopted in 1868, but it has been doctored
since then to such an extent as to make it
valueless for the protection of the lsborer.
Affidavits and indictments bring addi-
tional fees to the lawyers. The better
way would be to repeal all the amend
ments to the original bill.-RaLeiah
Workman.
Charlotte home and Democrat., 1886-11-19
Mai. Finger and the Schools.

The Raleigh correspondent of the Rich
mond Dispatch writing under date oi
Nov. 10th says:
"The able and certainly paiustakine
Superintendent of Public Instruction
Maj. 8. M. Finger, is at work on his re-
port to the Legislature, which will show
exactly the progress made educationally y,
in the State in the past year. The Expen
ditures for public instruction have far ex.
cesded those of previous years, and the
general character of the work has been
more satisfactory in all respects. Over
100000, it is estimated, has been ex.
pended. The number of public school-
houses has increased to over $500, 900
The direction of special effort now is iu
the line of lengtheniug school terms.
These have been too short, say three and
half months. The erection of better
school-houses is another special feature.
The public schools are great aids to the
higher instructions of learning and the
colleges, and every improvement in the
first named 10 At once felt by the latter.
The percentages of attendance are much
more favorable, and the report will, from
its first page to its last, show very plain.
ly how conscientious has been Maj. Fin
gers work."

Dimensions of Reaven.

Lewis' Penny Reading publishes the
following very interesting paragraph, the
idea being to endeavor to show in some
may prove the approximate accuracy oi
the computation for himself by perform
ing the several operations called for. The
basis of the calculation is taken from the
10th veree of the 2lst chapter of Revela.
