Chicago Grain and Produce.
CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-The grain market on
'Change was almost featureless today, IN
terest again being centered largely in the
the provision pit. Wheat aad corn both
opened unchanged, though the receipts on
both were a great deal below the estimate.
Nav wheat started at sissc ard May corn
at 542lc. Wheat developed some weak
ness as the session progressed. The crowd
went .1ong' over night on expectation
of further advances today, but as
there was little demand the stuff
was gradually put on the market,
causing May wheat to decline to SIC. Corn
followed wheat down, and touched 54c,
when wheat reached Sic. May wheat held
closely to SAC until inst before the close
when buying by a local house put a little
life into it. causing it to advance to s425c,
at which figure it closed.
Corn was absolutely featurless through
out the day May KEPT between 54@5435c,
closing at 544c.
Provisions were again the leading future
under influence of light receipts of hogs
and higher prices. May pork opened at
$3.50, an advance of 10c. The
market, however. did not hold
UP as well as expected, and
under rather free selling, May pork de
clined in the first half hour to Sl5.l119,
then reacted and became steady around
sl522@15.o5, and later. under the influence
of a brisk demandA sold back to s 15.27lEC.
1870 1t, j however, did not remain thc:a
-, ly..,
was at sl5.12Iz. Lard and ribs followed the
fluctuations of pork vesy closely. May
lard opened at 800. ~ and closed at
S76Tl5. May short ribs opened TO $500
and closed at $500.

How the Lines of Inheritance are Car
ried Along.

ried Along.
When Jay Gould stepped lightly out of his
office in the Western Union building the
other afternoon there was smile on his face
such as bad rarely ever been seen there be-
fore he became tho grandfather to the heir Of
his son Georges fortune. The recent ap-
pearance OF that youngster gave hope to the
founder Of the Gould dynasty that his mil
lions would descend in direct line down at
least to the third generation, from whence
the line of Inheritance may yet be carried
along through generations yet unborn.
1t used always to be said in olden times
when mlionaires we're so few as to number
but three or four in the whole United States,
the great fortunes in this country were pretty
sure TO I've dissipated by the sons Of the men
who gathered them, and that there was no
chance of the growth Of hereditary wealth
under the levsling influence Of democracy.
But we can now see the New York inherited
fortunes, not few in number, that have been
firmly Leld through three or four generations,
and bid fair to continue Ear beyond the heirs
now on the stage. tbs foundation of the
biggest fortune in America was laid thTae
quarters Of n century age by Cornelius Van
derblt, who was even then the captain Of
petty feet; and the millions of the conlmo-
oore descended to his son. William H, IN
whose hands they doubled, and by him lhey
were beQUeathei to William X. and his other
children, several Of whom have now posteTity
who are reasonably sure of iuheriting it N
due time.
The foundation of the gigantic fortune q
the Aston family tat least sI0o, 0Go 0C9 was in
thi; city 100 years ago by John Jacob Astor,
who transmitted it to bis heir, William B.,
who transmitted il to his heir, John j.. WHO
some years ago. turned over the keeping Of it
to his heir. William, W, 70 he transmitted in
course Of time to his heir, already on the
stege-heir OF The fifth generation since the
origin OF the Aston fortune These are TIE
mos. familiar examples Of hereditary fort
rnes in New York, though the list might be
extended 10 the De Peystsrs CShcse estate
dates before the revolution, the Rhineiand-
ers and many Others.
As for the fortunes now in the second GER
Grafton and Fastening to the tdird, they are
too numerous 10 mention. So 1t Is In error
TO suppose that the sous Of the rich are always
sure 10 be spendihrif;s who will dissipsts
their heritage. 1t IL fact, on the contrary,
that in the cases referred to, as well as in
others that might be spoken Of, the original
Inheritance mas been vastly increased by each
successive generation. The head of the Astor
family tuisy-it We regard William W, WHO
manages the property, as ,he reai head is
shre~H hus'ness mar. always charging the
estate: and the same thing NAV lie said Of
" lillian L Vanderbilt and of others in the
line OF misiionair.is,u. incis,ding George
Gould. the SON OF his father. Jay. and the
farher Of his son. Jay.-Jeha Swln,on In

A DIFFERENT VIEW.

like not these grim sages who would pray
For solitude and silence, far apart
From the fierce beating Of the vast worlds
heart
Who would ere night their burdens l:y away,
And in some cavern's dim and ghostly shade
scars
That they received in many hard fought wars,
And tell the agony the sword thrust made.
This is not life. nor is this longing meet,
forJnen whose blasted lives again may bud.
For me-ah- this would seem TO me most sweet
To stand breast high within the seething flood,
Unsneitered TO the mondays fercest heat,
On truth and right bestowed my hearts best

Berry here signitied his intention of go-

have no patience with you. I've wanted
to tax to you ofyour extravaganza for a

After this sally Berry seemed in a re-

"Waiter," he called, task Mrs. Wall

Then with another reference TO the ex-
travagance of champagne before break
last, he returned to his paper with growl
and a sigh, as though the task of reform
ing the extravagant habits of Berry were
of too great magnitude for him to accom-
plish, and Berry sat there with good
natured smile on his face and continued
TO sin his champagne.

SINGULAR PARALLELS.
Incidents IN the Lives of j. Ross Browne

EDITOR Carrie: 1t is somewhat re-
markable and perhaps of sufficient in
terest to note, that the experience of two
men OF almost the same name, having no
personal acquaintance with each other,
should run so nearly parallel as j. Ross
Browne and w. Ross Browne. One of
them once informed me that for years he
had pnjpstly received credit for much
that had been achieved by the other,
while as much perhaps that had been at
all worthy in his own career failed of
being accredited to the right author.
Both were at different times in the
United States service in China; both have
travelled extensively in Europe and
the East; both were foreign consuls. j.
Ross Browne wrote "Etchings of a
Whaling Cruise, w. Ross Browne
wrote the Land of Thoe,n the latter
wrote Life in Africa The former was,
l think, the better writer, the latter the
greater hero and traveller and now their
paths diverge. While the former was
faithfully using his pen, the latter was
bravely welding his sword while in
command of q vessel of war. While the
former was Senate reporter at Wash

drawn up by their reverend ancestor Sir
