declares Charles w. Eliot in Worlds
Work. To transmit great estates Is
hard. They get. divided or dispersed.
The heirs are often unable TO keep
their inherited treasures. or If, by the
help of lawyers and other hired agents,
they manage to keep them they cease
to accumulate and only spend. This is
one 81 the natural effects on his chi
dren CT the very rich mans mode OF
life. With rarest exceptions the very
rich .ien of to-day are not the sons OF
the very rich men of 80 years ago, but
are new men. 1t will be the same 80
years hence. The wise rich is her VIII
try To put his sons into tho.s, hene1-
cent professions and occupations which
have strong intellectual and moral IN
terest. and in which pecuniary inde-
penderce is distinct advantage. Such
are tie public service in elective or ap-
pointive Offices, the ministry, scientlnc
research, social service, and the man
dgemeni of charities and of serviceaDle
endowed institutions. Inherited Wealtn
enables young men to devote them
selves early to these fine employments,
which are not pecuniarily remunera-
tive but yet possess the highest sort OF
interest and offer all the rewards OF
beneficent influence among men. From
persons so occupied, from the ranks
of the learned and scientific profess
Eions, and from the more intellectual
and useful sorts OF business the high
est class OF each generation in a dem
ocracy is in large measure recruited.
The new-made very rich may not be-
long to this class. The chances are
against them unless they prove them
selves men of distinction both men
tally and morally.
One OF the best tests of the worth OF
iree institutions is their capacity to
produce a numerous class Of superior
persoas-rich, well-off, comfortable, or
lust e;f-supporting-a class larger in
proportion and more meritorious than
any other form of government has pro-
duced. All signs indicate that the
American democracy will meet this
test.

their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau

given to starching, the first essential

Yesterdays proceedings in the

in the county court indicated that
the state will receive tax of fully
$35O,OOO. The estate was appraised
at $6,307, 1856, but on account Of
numerous debts, ,legacies and pending
suits, the executors objected to pay
ing a tax on this amount. 1t has
now been definitely settled that the
estate will be taxed on more than
S5,OOO,O0O of its property. This
amounts to $295, 900, which, with in.
terest, will aggregate $350.OOO. Ap-
