RUM AND VICE.

Col. Ingersoll used to say it, and it
has been before this time quoted in
| this paper, that rum and vice" pre-
| vented the accumulation of great es-
tates in America. The death OF Cor
nelius Vanderbilt sets the sociologists
tory will be of the s1O0.OO0,0OO which
be has left.
Under our laws no estate can be en-
tailed or tied up for more than three
lives in being. The problem of the rich
men is to defeat that law and prevent
their estates from being dissipated by
rum and vice." or in other words, by
worthless heirs and connections. The
lawyers of the men who own vast prop
erty. we'll know with what eager in
terest these owners of riches urge that
ways be discovered by which the hand
OF the spendthrift can be kept away
from his unearned gold.
In the case Of the Vanderbilt estate,
the old Commodore found one of his
sons, and two of his grandsons, worthy
of trust. His son took and transmitted
the estate to his sons and of these
sons one is now dead and two sur
vive OF these sons one has no lik-
ing for financial affairs. This leaves
William K. as the conservator of a
part of the estate. The natural guard
ian of the 100000, 900 left by Cornelius
is his son, Cornelius Jr., who main
tanned strained relations with his
father, owing to his marriage with a
charming woman, fifteen years his
senior. The bulk of the property was
undoubtedly disposed of before the
death of the father, in order to avoid
the payment of the inheritance tax.
The will itself has not been probated
But the facts show with what ease a
great estate may pass to those who
have no ability to hold it together.
The tendency in America is to divide
estates equally among the children of
the testator. The English practice,
even among the middle classes of max
ing the oldest son the head of the
family, is not observed in the States.
The consequence is that the strong
tendency is towards quick distribution.
The inheritors OF these large estates
are. as a rule, idle people, who natural
ly look upon money-making with con-
tempt, as they nave enough of it, and
could not make money, if they tried
to. AS idle people, whose idle brains
become the DEVILS workshop, they
quickly fall into bad ways, and dis
sipate fortunes.
The brilliant grandson of one of Gen.
|Washington's Cabinet, himself spend
thrift with a precarious existence, I'M
dertook, about ten years ago, to write
the history of the first families" of
New York, since the time of the Revo-
luton. He declared that eighty per
cent. of the men had gone to the Devil,
through rum and vice, and that the
majority of the women, in spite of

SELL THE OPIUM.

The 3775 tins of confiscated opium
now stored in the Custom House are
valued at nearly $4,000. Here, it is
a crime to import or own the drug.
On the Mainland, the Federal laws
treat 1t as legitimate and respectable
property. A distressing case in morals
is at once raised, similar to the divorce
and marriage laws of the different
States. A citizen of New York may
go into Ohio, secure divorce and mar
ry again in that State without commit
ting an offense.
He may be admitted to the highest
social circles. If he should return to
the State Of New York, he would be
charged and convicted of bigamy, and
be sent to the State prison. A crime
in one State is not crime in an
other State A miserable Chinaman is
sent to Jail here for possessing a tin
OF opium. The Governor of California
may store his cellar full of it and he
commits no offense. The Flag says
there is no crime. The Territorial law
says there is crime
A satisfactory solution of the diff
Guilty would be to sell the opium, invest
the proceeds in a free hospital, and
then appoint a committee of con-
scientiOus citizens to report on the SUBJ
ject at some future date.-say ten
years hence.

an attempt to explain many curious and
startling facts in the mental world On a
basis of the natural rather than of the
supernatural. We have M right to sup
pose a cause larger than IS necessary to
explain. the effect. Ignorance and super
stition have always referred the unex-
planned to spirits good or bad unem-
bodied or disembodied. The fact is. that
spirits embodied in flesh and bones are
responsible for all the mental jugglery
and strange displays of psychic power.
from the time of Balaam and the Witch
of Endor down to the latest Spiritu;tlstic
medium and Indian fakir. 1t may be that
departed spirits will yet find Il way of
communicating with as. or that we may
find a rational and scientific way of COM
municatinS with them, but there are no
facts to warrant the assumption that such
a way has yet been found. There are,
however. marvellous powers Of the human
mind that have been little studied and
utilized. Tie realm of wonders is not so
much that of electricity and magnetism
as it is the soul itself. We know only a
little Of what we are and what we can do.
