STORY HT FOR FICTION

When the Southern Confederatcy
fell, it fell. Like the one-horse
shay. 1t went all to pieces. nothing
first. just as bubbles do when they
burst.
Well. when the confederacy thus
collapsed. it was relying through
its agents on money for cotton
stored abroad. The cotton had
run a blockade. The money ran
the blockade back to the south and
it was received by the agent who
had transmitted it more than once
before to the Richmond govern
ment.
AT the very last there was TO
Richmond government and no con-
federacy. The last installment of
money for cotton was received
after the COME derate government
had ceased to be. 1t could not
be returned to a government that
had ceased to exist and whose
officers were fugitives. The agent
who received that last installment
did not feel like handing it over to
the United State government. The
latter did not know the money
existed and, therefore, could make
no claim for the money. 1t did not.
know the agent existed. 1t could,
therefore, make no claim on him.
He just retained the money.
There was no one to return it tn
mere. There was none to whom it
belonged here. There was none
who claimed it here. The man
kept 1t, tame north, invested it,
made more money with it, and
became one of the richest and most
influential business men in New
York, dying recently a multi
millionaire, respected, unim-
peachable and allied throug h the
marriages of his children with
some of the most distinguished
families in the United States and
Great Britain. We may add that
this ex-confederate agent and
subsequent metropolitan multi
millionaire become one Of the most
liberal supporters of charity,
edu cation and religion, both sJuth
and north, and made them the
benefiiciaries Of the growth of the
fortune of which the events sug-
gested had made him the sole
conceivable custodian. What he
gave away hundred time exceeded
what events laid in his lap. What
he made" thousand times
exceeded what he received and has
bequ eathed,
And, continues the Boston Eagle,
we may further incidentally an
nounce the death of Richard T.
Wilson at Gil Fifth avenue, in
Manhattan.
