witty American friend, rich in moderation,
and great philosopher, said tome one day;
"No man can own more than a million
dollars When his bank account outt,rows
that, he does not own it; it owns him, and he
becomes its slave"
The Americans, having no king in our
sense OF the word, make the most OF those
they have republicans though they be To
read the pcdigrces, published in full every
time a death occurs in ono Of these rich
families, is highly entertaining. Mrs,
Astor died while | was in America, and after
the enumeration Of her charms and virtues
which were many, came tho list of John
.Jucobs from whom her husband had sprung.
The Astors were all John jacobs apparently,
and wero mentioned as John Jacob |, John
Jacob II and John Jacob III. The limo does
not go back very far, John Jacob having
gone to America as poor cnigrant early in
this century, believe, and laid the founda-
ton Of the present grandeur of his house by
trading III furs.
1t will not do to inquire too closely into the
way in which somo of Americas millionaires
have amasscd wealth. Strange stories arc
told Of men SO grasping that they stopped at
nothing, even to the running of their own
cons When l saw Mr.. Bronson Howard's
clever play, "The Henrietta" in which ho
portrays a son so madly engrossed by tho e1-
citcmcnt of gambling on the stock exchange
rs to try and absorb his fathers millions,
thought the picture was oyerdrawn. Ameri-
cans, however, told mo that tho case was his
torical, but with the characters reversed
which made it still more odious.

kings, it is we'll known how thousands of

of hundreds of ruined homes.

speaking of tho few great flnanciers, who
hold the bulk of the railway stock in America.
But they are not tho only ones. There are
oil kings copper kings, silver kings, and I
know not what other maj iestics in America

these, und the numberlcss trusts combina-

chards there of 5000 trees, and thousands
more are being set annually. In that sunny

anything earthly can be. 1t is gathered in
December and january, when help is plenty,
and keeps remarkably well. The trees are
set thirty-fvo feet apart, and as ten years are

THE COMMISSIONERS COURT.
A Reduction of Three and 0ne-llaIf
Miles on Taxation for County
Purposes.

The county commissioners court
was in session to-day, and after a
careful consideration of the neces-
sary amount of taxes to he raised on
the assessable property, they dec d ID
to levy tax of nine mills, for cUun-
ty purposes, five mills for school pur-
poses and IL 10 of a mill for
the relief of INDECENT soldiers.
1t will be seen that a reduction of
81 mills has been made from the
amount levied for county purposes
last year as it was then 12I mills.
This is owing to the increased
amount of taxable property over last
year, a very good showing indeed,
for itself.
1t will be remembered that at the
last Legislature bill was passed en-
titled an Act to Provide for the re-
lief of the INDECENT Union and Mexi-
can war soldiers, sailors, marines
and Indian war volunteers, and for
the relief of their INDECENT widows
and minor children, and to defray
the funeral expenses of such indi-
gent soldiers, sailors, marines and
volunteers.
