The New York papers give sad &C
counts of the condition of the heir to
the great Morgan estate. 1t appears
that he was formerly plummer, with
. large family to support, and was
hearty. vigorous and happy. Since the
acquisition of this colossal estate by the
death of Mrs. Morgan, however, it is
said he has become the prey to an ap-
parently hopeless melancholy. from
which nothing can arouse him; pallid
and permaturely old, he moves ner-
vously about, the mere shadow Of hia
former self.
