PSESOS'AL UECO .LECTIOJfS OF A. T. STEWART
BY A CONFIDENTIAL Cl.ERK.
stry was a matter of no little pride with
sir." Stewart, and after they returned from
their studies in Gc.imny and were settled
in Princeton College, he was always pleased
to hear of their proficiency and progress.
He was a stickler for correct Emtlish.
Himself a college graduate, and for awhile
a school-teacher in New York, Ins method
of correcting a sentence in a letter was by
he closest adherence to old-fashioned
grammatical methods. _ He dictated all the
retail advertising, which on Sundays, in
[From the Boston Commercial Bulletin.]
The daily papers all through the wed-
have given more or less space to the leading
known events ill the late Mr. Stewart’s life
covering that ground very fully; but, a
oil ! of the Bulletin's present editorial fore
was for nearly three yearn in A. T Sc wait
& Co’s counting room, and during tha
time had daily specific duties which nenessi
tated personal interviews with Mr. Stuwar-
his recollectious may add something fresh.
In all that has b.-cn written of this gen
tleman in times past, the closest interest
has been taken. His great wealth, its
steady accumulation from an original in
vestment of $.1,000 his sole capital, and the
example he has afforded of America’s op
portunity for the industrious and prudeni.
gave almost a tinge of romance to his pos
session, and induced a searching curiosit,-
in regard to the methods of his success.
Mr. Stewart was about live feet si
inches in height, weighing probably about
140 pounds, lie was of light complexion
wearing a full beard, always dipped close
the upper lip shaven. His hair was always
kept rather short, and ran a little thin, par
ticular y back from the forehead. He
hair and beard had a sandy tinge. Hi
eyes were a greyish blue. Anger was only
visible in them; seldom, if ever, in his man
ner. When provoked, his eyes, which
wero medium-sized and with large pupils
would snap to a purple tinge, a most pr
culiar color, and in coming back to tliei,
original shade, would, for at least thret
minutes, be a deep, clear blue.
His office was on the second floor of the
wholesale department, and was the centre
of three compartments on the Chambers
street side, divided off from the lace-good>
depaitinent by glass partitions eight feel
Ingli. Mr. Stewart used an oak library
table, 4x6, about 18 inches of the end o.
which was kept clear; the remainder was a
succession of piles of pajiers, some of which
had not probably been disturbed for years,
but about which, and just where any s e-
<"•*! one at any moment was, be positive!!
knew.
lie was a methodical man. His hours for
certain duties were very regular until the
active progress on his Hempstead Pla ns
(Jj. I.) town and railway, Fourth Avenue
Hotel, Saratoga Hotel and other innttmern
blc attending projects began to demand
greater watchfulness, and then those having
the care of the details of these matters
were obliged to snateli a moment w deli
might be termed leisure, any time between
0 a m and C p. in. It was Mr. Stewart’s
custom io lie at the retail department,
Tenth street and Broadway, every muni
ing by 10 o’clock. Here ue would meet
his partner, Mr. William Libltcy, win*
probably bad, by that lime, been through
th.it vast establishment, and after a brief
dis .ssion on .natters of special moment
likely io be under a roof with 2,300 em
ployees an. i iliree o- five millions of prop
erty, Mr. Libhey wou.d take i..e stage for
the wholesale store, two miles further down
Broadway. Then Mr. Stewart would gl
over the store, and, wheie the sales of a
department one <1 y had been light, lie
would have thrown upon the counter the
whole stock, ascertain its cost, reduce i.s
selling price, if found loo high, an I t .on i.
the sales were bcloiv their proper or usual
average, he wou.d make si teeny and strici
inquiry into the cause. If poor salesman
were the fault, olf went their h ads; if bad
selections from the stock of the wholesale,
then w >e to the head of ih so retail and
wholesale departments, if his own or hi-
partner’s intention had not previously been
called to the unmarketable character of the
goods.
It is from such cases as these that so
much unkind gos-ip in regard to Mr
Stewart has resulted. Men losing situa
tions which they were striving honestly to
fill, and men reprimanded for mistakes
they knew nothing of. have told their
grievances to every willing ear, and ih
stories, like the boy’s snowball, had grown
at each turn.
Men intrusted with responsibilities and
well paid for their talents, have, when a
censure was their just desert turned it upon
some luckless fellow. Tliestf are the inis
fortunes of life, and arc alike characteristic
of school-room, shop, store, oflicc, army
and church. A manufacturer who has a
hundred men employed is rarely without
some vexation of this sort. But a man
with nearly ten thousand upon his pay roll,
and scattered in nearly every quarter of the
globe, with perhaps $500,0(H),000 involved
in his daily transactions, has not the time to
follow every injustice. Others must be
trusted to carry out details.
That Mr. Stewart was cogifzant of such
evils among his people, is a fact, and his
secret charity was often moved. There are
men in the custom-houses, post-offices, rail
way companies, and in other mercantile
houses, who ewe their position to the quiet
influence of Mr. Stewart. Missing their
faces about his stores, he has caused stria
inquiry to be made lor the cause of their
absence, and, while not disposed to irritate
a really valuable mau by overriding his fol
ly aud decisions, he has given his personal
attention to the canse of the wronged one
a- ’ secured him a better situation else
where.
. Mr. Stewart usually spent two hours at
the retail department, coining down in his
carriage to the wholesale department be
tween li and 1 o'clock. Upon his entering
the store, he nearly always went directly
to the head, book-keeper, looked over his
balances and gathered results of he pre
vious day’s work. Thence, he went to Mr.
Ltbbcy, and alter half an hour’s discus non
over the striking items in the morning's
mail, the price and prospect of gold arid
exchange, markets abroad and buyers'
reports, retired np stairs to his private
offio. Here he began to plan and push his
many oma.de enterprises, mingling with
this work some of the more regular affairs
of the firm in decisions upon style of goods
t- ' e made, of special purchases to l»e con
firmed, Ac.
Only lw o men ever presumed to enter Mr.
Stewart’s inner office unannounced. They
were Judge Hilton, his warm personal
friend and legal adviser, and Mr. Libbey,
his partner. Men fur whose services the
house , paid $20,000 a year, men high in
mercantile, social and political circles, mes
sengers despatched and returned with
impoitantand much needed facts, all equally
awaited Mr. Stewart’s nod of recognition
through the glass door or the approach of
1 tjnthui in attendance bearing Mr. Stewart’s
! „ Poli teness was a marked featnre of his
manner. He hod a pleasaut “thank you”
( ‘ for the- pobrest porter who did his service,
and' always a civil speech under the most
exasperating circumstances. His expression
of disapprobation was “tut tut," and in
response to any story or report he did not
credit, he quietly remarked, “ stuff.” Pro-
fauity and cltuiikcmiess werp bis aboininar
I t ion.* ‘
H was an Episcopalian in his religious
tendencies, and, alt hough not a vigorous
church member, bad great respect for the
opinion of others. The purpose of his part-
educate two of his sons for the min-
retail advertising, .
nost- cases, occupied a column in each of
he papers. This was a regular Siyiday
afternoon’s employment, and, reviewing
through his mind the attractions of .the
several departments, ho woul i frequently
close out a whole line at the wholesale, scud
t to the retail and there o|<eii it at a juice
vhich barely covered the first cost ol the
roods. He believed in advertising, and
‘hr his retail business used the New York
local papers to what mi lit have been
styled an extravagant degree.
In writing, he used a large gold pen

back from his table, with his left leg thrown
,»ver his right. His hand was rather
•crawly, and, to one unaccustomed to his
lenmansbip, very difficult to read. He
wrote very little—an occasional letter to
the heads of his houses abroad, a short note
re- some of the Senators or Cabinet officers
respecting ti e possible cff.-ct of some con-
dinplaled financial measures, or a few lines
to his wife preparing her for some visitor
he should bring home in the evening, or of
tu unusual detention Iroin home. The ex
tended ramifications of his business, the
many well-educated and shrewd men at
line and abroad in the employ of the
muse, and his own keen foresight, k' pt
im well advised of the condition of affairs
»1 over the world, and his advice was con
st ntly sought by the foremost men in the
talion The desire of President Grant to
nakc Mr. Stewart his Secretary of the
Treasury, gave him a new ambition. He
arranged to relinquish all b sincss, direct
•r remote, in the business of the firm, and
vould have turned that vast income into
charitable purposes. In November, 1873,
when gold went down to 100£, he made
every preparation for a declaration of specie
payments. An inventory of the cost of his
incr handisc was made, and, with this sliow-
- -g a shrinkage of. about $2,000,000 on the
h u d pan basis, lie entertained Gen. Grant
one afternoon pleading for the issuing of a
proclamation. With tha failure of this
scheme, he seemed to lose all interest in
national legislation.
His investments on Long Island, at Sara
toga, and in mill property, were made
chiefly to find profitable uses for his sur
plus funds. The death of Architect Kellum
rubbed the Hempstead Plains and railway
projicrty of much of its interest in him, but
the Saratoga project was pushed vigorously
dong because it paid a good dividend from
the outlet.
The plans and specifications for all his
buildings he went over with the nicest care,
! and made it an invariable rule to reduce
I very agreement to plain, undeniable, written
i statements. When building the present
wholesale store, a flaw in an ordinary drawn j
contract was taken advantage of by one of
the parties employed, entailing a loss of TT
about 820,000 upon Mr. Stewart. From ^
that dav, he is re|>orted to have vowed “ by
the lor’ Harry,” his own peculiar and occn-
s--nal phrase, “I will make all iny contracts
indisputably plain.”

The New York Christian Observer in ven
tilating a new feature of the nation’s great ex
hibition at Philadelphia, comments in Inn*
gunge as plain and ns determined as the
so ernes unearthed are villaiuous and foul.
Says the Observer-, the evidences are all
•he while coming to light that a nefarious
hairiness is to lie carried on in the interior
towns and villages, of enticing virtuous
young girls to Philadelphia, on the jiretence
of obtaining lucrative and pleasant employ
ment during the Exhibition, but in reality
to enter houses of ill-fame. Agents, men
and women of good address, are already
scouring the country, advertising and pre
senting pri>|»osaU for “comely and respecta
ble young ladies,” to take charge of fl over
and news stands, act as casheir in refresh
ment departments, sell pictures, kooks, eta
In addition to the offer of high wages the
opportunity of seeing the grand Exhibition
is held out as an attractive inducement;
while in private, where the opportunity of a
personal interview is obtained, various pe
cuniary and social motives are used to work
upon the vanity or curiosity of the intended
victims. Never since Satan entered the
garden of Eden and enticed our first parents
to evil and to ruin, has there keen a more
nefarious scheme of wickedness undertaken,
and the devil has no more subtle agents in
his employ at the present time than these
panderers to the vile iniquity of others.
Parents, pastors, teachers, and all friends
of virtue, qjwuld be on their guard, to warn
and protect the young who are under their
care against the evil to which they are exjxis-
ed. The danger is not one that lies upon
the surface; but it is all the greater on that
account.

Norman M’Leod was once preaching in
a district in Ayshire, where the reading of
a sermon is regarded as the greatest fault
of which the minister!can be guilty. When
the congregation dispersed, an old woman,
overflowing with enthusiasm, addressed her
neighbor; “Did you ever hear any thing
so gran?’ Wasna-that a sermon?” But
al her expres-ious of admiration being met
by a stolid glance, she shouted: “ Speak,
woman I wasna that a sermon?” “Oh,
ay,” replied her friend, sulkily, “but he
read it.’’ “ Read it?’’ said the oiher, with
.ndignant emphasis, “ I wanda hac cared if
he had whustlcd it.”
