rrfy ^PfffPPP 4-^e SONS OF RICH FATHERS. •flhe Spendthrifts of New York CRjr-- Where Gamblers Bind a Harvest. [From the Chicago Tribune, Oct. 12.] How much misery there may be in th« mansions of the rich is something that can never be fcnown, but every now and then an item appears which reveals instances of depravity which defy belief. One of these is found in the experiences of a wealthy hotel proprietor, who lios a fKxn upon whom he has lavished money profusely for his education and culture. All efforts to start him in business enter­ prises have been failures. Thousands of dollars have been wasted thus, and the young man at 24 is a wreck and rain. Although enjoying a steady income through his father's liberality, he has squandered his reputation by borrowing money from all his own acquaintances as -well as his father's. The latter has been compelled to warn his frends not to loan any money to his son. At the end of a recent debauch this reckless spend­ thrift went to one of the proprietors of a prominent hotel, and obtained $35 up­ on a forged check drawn in his father's name. As soon as the forgery was dis­ covered, the case was put in the hands of the police, and threatened serious consequences, whereupon the father oiune to the rescue and redeemed the forged check. An offer has been made the young man of a free cabin passage around the world in a Gaiilomia-bouud clipper ship, but he declines to accept it. It was George D. Prentice, 1 believe, who described one of Henry Clay's sons (for a political offense) as " the degener­ ate son of a noble sire." This city, and probably this country as well, is full of such instances, with the difference that the sins of the latter sons are gross and criminal. As a general rule these are the sons of the wealthy men, who are usually called self-made men because they have had very limited culture,, an A earned their own fortunes by their own indomitable energy, geniub, and perse­ verance. The reason why these men rarely have sons worthy of being named as their successors is found in this, that the elements of self-reliance and inde­ pendence, which made the fathers the men they are, are lacking in the sons. The parents naturally desire to give their boy the benefits of an education they failed to receive themselves, and thus, at the very outset of their careers, the foundation of self-dependence is lack­ ing. Innumerable examples might be cited of this. There are a hundred young rascals in this city wasting their fathers' substance in riotous living whose lives are simply worthless. They are worse than drones--they are the em­ bodiment of wickedness. One of the billiard sharps of this city is the son of wealthy parents. He is devoted to bill­ iards and wine. The gamblers find a harvest among these fellows, and it is rare indeed that the young men of 21 to 30, whose fathers are wealthy, are worthy of their progenitors. The English House of Lords. The London Times says: "There- cent elevations and new creations in the peerage have slightly affected the roll of the House of Lords, which now stands at a tittle over instead of a little under 500, as it did at this time last year. In 'January last the Earl of Erne was created a Baron of the United Kingdom, and Mr. J. R. Ormsby-Gore, Mr. Henry Gerard Sturt, Mr. John Tollemache, and Sir Robert Gerard were raised in a ' batch' to the upper house as Lords Harlech, Alington, Tollemache, and Gerard, while the Earl of Abergavenny was created a Marquis, and the Duke of Richmond had an additional Dukedom, that of Gordon, bestowed upon him. Since that time Lord Northbrook" has been rewarded with an Earldom for his services in India, and the Earldom of Beaconsfield has also been bestowed upon Mr. Disraeli. The exact number of peerages, spiritual and temporal, in­ cluding those enjoyed by members of the royal family, stands consequently at the present moment at 503, headed by His Royal Highness the Piince of Wales as Duke of Cornwall, and ending with 'Mortimer, Lord Sackville,' the junior Baron. The Dukes number 21, the Marquises 22, the Earls 132, the Vis­ counts 31, the Archbishops 26, and the Barons 265. The rest of the roll is made up by the Royal Dukes. There are one or two things to be noted in the present roll. Firstly, that the number of peer­ ages on it is slightly in excess of the actual total number of the Lords, spirit­ ual and temporal; Lord Cairns being enumerated twice over, both as a Baron and as Lord Chancellor; the Duke of Richmond both as Duke and also as Lord President of the Council; the Mar­ quis of Hertford both as a Marquis and also as Lord Chamberlain; Earl Beau- champ both as an Earl and also as Lord Steward of the Household; and, lastly, the Earl of Erne both as an Irish repre­ sentative peer and also as Lord Fer­ managh. Again, it may be observed that the Buckhurst title has disappeared since last year as a separate entry, being merged in the superior honor of the Earldom of De la Warr, and that blanks are put against the names of the Earl­ dom of Berkeley and the Barony of De Freyne. The name of the Earl of Bea- consfield also figures twice in the roll, firstly in his own place at the end of the Earls, next after Lord Northbrook; and, again, as Lord Privy Seal, in which ca­ pacity His Lordship takes precedence above and before all Dukes, next after the members of the royal family, the two Archbishops, the Lord Chancellor, and the Lord President of the Council." Smallness of Stature. Not long before his death, Canon Kingsley drew attention to the surpris­ ing number of small young men to be seen in a London crowd. According to him, it was a sign of the deterioration of the race. But there are two ways of looking at everything, and, for the com­ fort and satisfaction of small people, we I would point out that it might almost be | taken as an -indication of intellectual pro- ijpress. Many--we might almost say jmost--of the great men of history have been of short stature, from the days of | that ancient philosopher who, as the jstory goes, was so diminutive that he [had to carry lead in his pockets to pre­ sent his being blown away. Canute the Great, for example, was a singularly Ismail man ; Napoleon, too, was little; Nelson had no height to boast of; and the great Conde was short enough. Hildebrand--Gregory VII.--the might­ iest of all the Popes, was also quite a diminutive person. Then, amongst men of letters, poets and philosophers, Mon­ taigne, the essayist, was little ; so was Pope--"a little crooked thing that asks questions; so was Dryilen; so was Dr. Watts, who insisted, as we all know, on the mind being the stature of the man ; and so was Scarron, who, alluding at once to his ill-health and his little size, called himself an " abridgment of hu­ man miseries." Will any one, after such naCmes as these--and the list might be indefinitely extended look down on little men with disdain?--CasseWa Fam­ ily Magazine. May We Lire a Hundred Years I Some curious facts have come out in the thirty-fifth annual report of the Registrar General of births, deaths and marriages of the British Islands. Dr. if'arr, after an experience of ten years of registration, boldly announces the opinion that the natural life-time of men and women is a century, and not three- score-and-ten, as is generally believed. Of course, the Registrar mates it a con­ dition precedent that if all children were born in perfect health, and were to live afterward under the most favorable sani­ tary conditions, 160 years would be the duration of human life. As it is, the average tenure of life in England is forty-ome years, and, even in the most salubrious districts, scarcely fifty years. In London the death toll is on the de­ crease, Two hundred years since the mortality of London was not less than 8 per cent.; 100 years since it was reduced to 5 per cenjfc.; and it is at this time about 2.4. It is hardly probable that the de­ crease will go on hereafter with the same rapidity, owing to the ever-increasing pauperism of so vast a city. Still, sta­ tistics show that the marvelous di minu­ tion of deaths in proportion to popula­ tion is owing to superior sanitary im­ provements. It is in the country, however, that longevity will always pre­ vail. Obviously, it is unnecessary to specify such causes as pure air, less adulteration of food and drink, and an absence of excitement and dissipation, A few examples will be interesting: Ephraim Pratt, of the village of Shutes- bury, died at 116 years; Lawrence, a native of Shetland, died at 140; Catha­ rine, Countess of Desmond, in Ireland, died at 140 years; Thomas Parr, of Shropshire, died at 152 years. And here may be mentioned a city set-off-- Kentigern, or St. Mungo, Bishop of Glasgow, as is certified on his monu­ ment, died at 185 years! Added to these wonderful cases of longevity is a long list of persons who reached 110, 120 and 130. In our own country centenarians are by no means unusual. There are, too, some wonderful statistics of long-lived people, of which we have only room for a few. G. P. R. James, while British Consul at Richmond, said that the climate of Virginia closely resem­ bled that of England. In this State are chronicled: William McKim, who died at 130 years; John de la Somet, who died at 130; Wonder Booker, a negro, who died at 126, and nineteen persons of both sexes who reached the ages of 110 and over. In fact, of the nineteen, 110 is the lowest, the rest ranging from 112 to 116, 120 and 126. These are wonderful figures, but it is safe to say that the centenarians, North and South, are far more common than is generally supposed, were accurate ac­ counts kept by families of the exact year of birth and death. No register has been made of the birth and death of negroes, who are tenacious of life. There are in every Southern State num­ bers of old negro men and women who bear evidences of having reached a hundrel years, but it is impossible to ascertain when they were ushered into existence. It is not because "life is sweet," as the voluptuary has it, but its preservation is important, for the higher and nobler reason that we are put upon the earth in the form of individual uses. It is, therefore, a duty to maintain as long as possible activity of brain and muscle. This can be done by attending to such points as pure air, pure water, good food--not taken to exeess--regular exercise, freedom from dissipation, and the cultivation of cheerfulness. Men should leave this world easily and natu­ rally, as foliage drops from trees in the full autumn. As it is, too many are wrenched from existence by storms of their own creation. Ttiey live fast and die fast--a miserable philosophy for be­ ings who tliink and feel. The ol i adage, "Lay by something for a rainy day," has brought many a rainy Say to a household sooner than it would have come. The human machine will not bear unnatrral strains. Incessant fno­ tion brings its wheels to a sure and pre­ mature stop. INTERESTING experiments are being made at the Central Telegraphic Bureau in ^aris with a new apparatus for pro­ ducing a fac- simile of the writing and signature of an individual sending a dispatch. The apparatus also produces, with great exactness, drawings of the most complicated description. The in­ ventor is Mr. Lenoir.
