Washington, April 14 —A World
Washington special says Moj. Lucien
Eiton, assistant prosecuting attorney in
the St. Louis whisky fraud trials, was
examined by the select investigating
committee on that subject to-day. His
testimony was similar to that of his col-
leagues*, Dver, Henderson and Brodhead.
The most important part of his testimony
was the submission of a copy of a letter
written to President Grant by ex-collec
tor Fori, of St. Louis, in 1873. This
letter, which cannot be obtained for pub
lication, informed Grant that McDonald,
then Supervisor of Internal Revenue,
was a r.iscal—that he could not be trust
ed and had connived to defraud the
Government.
After speaking unqualifiedly of Mc
Donald, Ford alluded to some claim pend
ing before the Departments in which the
President was to have an interest. This
matter will probably afford another sub
ject for investigation President Grant
will be subphoeoaed by the committee
investigating the frauds, when the ex
amination of other witnesses is conclud-
cd.

case passed.
Tho diplomatic appropriation bill was

now concur in the Senate amendments,
but without action. It was ordered print
ed and recommitted.
A deed lock over tie bill is apprehend
ed.
A ro-o’ulion reported by tho Judiciary
Committee directs ths Sergeant at-Arm-
to make a cartful return to iho writs set
ting out tho canso of tho detention of
K lbonroo. nod to retain tho custody ot
bm body, and not to prodace it before the
Judge or tho court without the farther,
ord< r i.f tho HcnRO. In support of the
resolation, Mr Hard intimated ttaar tbe
tes'imi-ny of K'lbonrne might implicate
high cffia-al* ot the Givernment an-? re
quire their impeachment; bnt all eff *rts
in the direction of the mvcstigilion would
be ihvarted if he were allowed to be
taken or.t of tbe control or power of the
flues j by u court which wrs tbe creature
of Congress. Ha cited various authori
ties, both in thisconntry and in England,
in support of the position taken by tho
Judiciary Committee.
Mr. Garfield suggested that the court
might punish the Sergeant-at-arm3 for
contempt of its authority in not obeying
the order, and asked what relief the
Houso could givo him. Could not the
court imprison in succession every Ser
geant-at arms and every deputy Sergeant
at-arms who would answer the writ with
out producing the body ? Would his
colleague say how the House and the
court would get out of that insolvent 9
Mr. Hurd thought that the remedy
would bo very easy. It would be for
the Sergeant-at-arms to apply to the
Supreme Court of the United States,
which had an appellate and _ revising
jurisdiction, and thus tho question would
be settled peacefully and conclusively.
Mr. Garfield—Can the Supreme Court
of the United States revise a matter of
contempt in the court below ?
Mr. Hurd—It can, and that- is the
proposition which I have been maintain
ing all the time,—that where a court
possesses appellate and revisory juristic
tion, and the facts can b» brought before
it by a writ of certiorari, it can judge of
the contempt.
Mr. Frye, of Maine, asked Mr. Hurd
whether he claimed that tho House had
power to punish for contempt regardless
of ths fact, whether the question which
Kilbourne refused to answer was lawful
or unlawful?
Mr. Hurd replied that the subject
matter was entirely within the discretion
of the House, and that tho adjudication
of the House was final and conclusive on
every other authority.
Mr. Frye—So that, practically, you as
sort that the House may punish for con
tempt, and may disregard entirely the
legality or illegality of the question
asked ? Is there any limit to tbe time
of punishment except the life of the
House?
Mr. Hurd— That is a matter in dispute,
and which has not been settled.
Mr. Frye—In your opinion, is there
any limit to the time of punishment ex
cept tbe li** of the House ?
Mr. Hnrd—In my judgment, the power
to punish expires with the Houso.
Mr Frye—If that power inheres in
tho House of Representatives, does it not
also enter in the Senate ?
Mr Garfield—Which never dies.
Mr. Hurd—Unquestionably it does.
Mr Frye—Then this result would fol
low, that the Senate may punish a recus
ant witness for contempt, regardless en
tirely of whether the question which
the witness refused to answer was lawful
or unlawful, and might hold that citizen
in jail daring his life.
Mr. Hamilton, of New York—Cannot
anv court do tho same ?
Mr. Frye—No. No court in Christen
dom can do it, or any other power.
Mr. Lyndc, of Wisconsin, a member of
tho Judiciary Committee, offered on be
half of tho minority a substitute for tbe
resolution directing tho Sergeant-at-
Arms to make a careful return to the
writ of habeas corpus, that tho prisoner
is duly helo by authority of the House
of Representatives in proceedings against
him for contempt, and to take with him
the body of Kilbourne before tho court-
when making such return. He proceed
ed to argue in support of the substitute,
and tho discussion continued until five
o’clock, when Mr. Hurd gave notice that
he would call the previous question at
three o’clock Monday, and tbe House
adjourned.
It is understood that all who have
been indictod, except Babcock and Har
rington, will bo used as witnesses in the
safe burglary trial. Harrington’s where
abouts are still unknown.
In tho matter cf tho dismissal of
Williamson from office and the discon
tinuance of proceecings against Judge
Wright for forgery, George Dyer. As
sistant District Attorney for New York,
testified that a criminal case was pend
ing in New York against Wright, which
he considered strong and which shonld be
prosecuted. He had intended to try
the cose in March last, bnt having
depended in a great measure on the evi
dence to be furnished by Williamson his
dismissal had prevented trial. Judge
Fisher has been summoned. Lawrence,
of Ohio, and Hoar, of Massachusetts,
(Reps) made strong speeches in favor
of the majority resolution in the habeas
corpus case. It is not treated as a party
question.

“Reception ot the JEmperor.'
All Gotham seems to be greatly excit
ed about preparations to “receive the
Emperor” of Brazil; but an exchange
Gays:
The Emperor Dom Pedro has written
a very decided letter to the Brazilian
minister at Washington, stating he will
not be subjected to public receptions and
entertainments white in this country. As
Dom Pedro is fully able to pay his way.
having $1,000,000 of spending money in
hts pocket, it will be eminently proper to
let him disburse it in this moneyless
country as a private citizen.
Now, if this bo true, why will they not
leave the Emperor to enjoy himself and
his visit in his own way, unfettered by
ceremonious and obtrusive attentions, of
which doubtless he has had more than a
surfeit at home. It must be exceedingly
unpleasant to a gentleman of prond and
independent spirit to be even indirectly
made responsible for levies on the public
benevolence in the shape of subscriptions
to defray the expenses of “a public re
ception”—processions, rides, lunches,
etc., etc., in which he is forced to head a
column of deadheads and bummers, and
the control of his own time, convenience
and taste is wrested from him by a most
mistaken politeness and courtesy, with
the unpleasant sequel of an account cur
rent subsequently paraded in the news
papers, and generally a wranglo over tho
charges for punch, wine and segare.
Let the Emperor enjoy himself in his
own way.
A Little Matrimonial Coincidence.
From the Chicago Tribune. I
Three gentlemen happened to meet at
breakfast at the Grand Pacific Hotel one
morning last week. They were strangers
to each other. Suddenly one broke the
silence with the remark: “By Jov-l
She’s divorced again.” Noticing that
his words had attracted the attention of
his companions, he apologized and ex
plained that he had been somewhat sur
prised to see the divsree nf hts qnandam
wife chronicled in the legal intelligence.
'She and I parted,” he said, in a dreamy,
retrospective manner, “in August, 1872—
this wife with a pot-lid determined mo
to destroy my Lares and Penates—and
two months afterwards she married up
in Peoria a fellow named Tompkins.”
Tompkins?” said the second gentle
man, with a sadden interest; “Tomp
kins, Peoria, October, 1872—was her
name Theo-^oria? Woman who had
limpid blue eyes and always bad a roll
ing pin under her pillow on nights tbe
lodge met?” “The tame, stranger, the
same. Shake, old pard,” said tho first
speaker; “and how was she?” “She was
all my fanny painted her,” replied tbe
second. “But I had a rival in a stove-
lifter for wnich she had too much affec
tion, and in January, 1875. the court, of
Lafayette, Ind , dissolved the bonds be
tween u?. I believe ehe married again—
some ro03ier called Gieen. I heard.” “I
am the rooster named Green, and am
giad to make your acquaintance. Gen
tlemen, I knew your wife well for over a
year, and, barring her vivacity with
toasting-forks and long handled frying
pans, a better wile I never had But- we
parted last December, as sor n as I could
get out of tho doctor’s hands with a frac
ture of the skull (in conjunction with a
discussion concerning getting up to light
the fire,—also a boot j ie»), and 1 thought
tbo fact of our divorce hud been pre
viously announced.” “But,” said the
first speaker, ‘-your name, my companion
in divor-e, is Green; the last time she
was divorced it was from Brown.”
“Brown? Brown?” said Mi. Tompkins,
reflectively ; '"there was one fellow named
Brown u-ed to tag after her ” “It must
be the same on-?.” “Gentlemen,” sal t
the first speaker, reflectively, “tbi-? is a
most remarkable coincidence. When
shall wo three meet again? I don’t
usually drink nfter breakfa*t, hut this is
a special occasion and we may, mayn’t
we?” So they all wpnt out to toe bar
room together to drink euccess to
Brown, and as they stepped u;> to tbe bar
they met a man who said: •‘Gentlemen,
this is ray treat. I’ve just been divorced,
and my n-iuio is BrowD.and I’m going to
treat tbe house. Give it a name andca'I
for the best in tho hous-.” His three
friends shook bands with him solemnly,
exchanging three looks of intelligence
among themselves, when a weak eyed
young mop walked in diagonally and
said : “See here, you fellers have got to
take a bottle of wine with me. I’m a
newly married man; bridegroom rejnc
ing to run a race, you know; have some
thing ?” And so he wandered on till, to
get rid of him, they agreed to go up
stairs to the ladies’ parlor and be pie-
sented to bis newly-made bride. They
id so. and lo and behold she was their
wife! Tho situation was sufficiently em
barrassing, but the woman didn’t faint,
but simply remarked: “Oh, Mr Green,
glad to meet you; your face seems fa
miliar to me, Mr. Tompkins? Somehow
tho name seems known to tue, Mr
Brown. I seem to recollect y -nr fact-;
any relation to tho Browns, of Lafayette,
Ind.?” An-1 so on. Truly, truth is
stranger than fiction.
Macon Presbytery.
Fort Gaines. 14th April, 1S7C.
Presbytery was engaged all day yester
day »i(fi receiving narratives and statis
tical reports and tho tree conversation on
the state of religion in the churches.
It is found that notwithstanding the dis
couragements of the times, a steady pro
gtess la being made, and a work of grace
existing which has surprised us all, giv
ing evidence that a sacred revival is qui
etly going on within tho churches of the
Presbytery. A number of delegates came
in yesterday evening, and now the
churches are generally well represented,
and quite a luge Presbvteiy in session.
To-day will probably see considerable
business gone through with. A fine con
gregation was present last night at
preaching. Macon.

Tbe Financial Situation.
Cuthbkht, April 12,1876.
- Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Your
editorial to-day on the death ot A T
Stewart suggests the following reflections
ou the financial condition of the country.
No truth in philosophy—human or di
vine—whether it relate to tho natural, the
material, the mental or moral—is more
susceptible of establishment by reason,
and the resnlts of experience and obser
vation than that everything that has life
or existence—every system, every being
below the Deity, contains within itself
the elements and causes of its own de
struction.
The hnman body, so capable of pleas
ure and liable to pain—so replete with
charms, in its beautiful and healthful
action, only requires a few honrs of dis
order in circulation or secretion to diffuse
its own poison and destroy itself. So
with life in ail its forms. It is trne of
States, Kingdoms and Empires, and ap
plies to all human governments and en
terprises, and to every thing and system
that is mortal.
It is at this critical period of oar histo
ry undergoing a political eolation nnd
demonstration in onr monpy system. The
excess of merchandise and consumption
of values over prodnetion; the extrava
gant resort to credit, to support the
financial fiction in real life, giving the
banks and banking temporary power
almost omnipotent. Insurance on life
and property and the many methods of
ea-y living, t l -at have drawn the money
and moneyed men to the money-
centers, and depleted the interior, have
already created a plethora in those cen
ters. It ha3 resulted in cold extremities
and a burning fever in the centers, an
evil that feeds and grow s on its own
cause?, and multiplies its own disastrous
effects.
Hoarded wealth is over heaping itself
in th-- withholding from straggling pov
erty, which is its only channel of gratifi
cation and basis of value, the means of
life at all.
The vital principle in animal life is
the circulation of the blood, producing
heht and acting on the sensitive nerves
and fibres, propelling tbe lungs and heart,
promoting respiration and secretion, and
all tbe phenomena we witness in a living
being. But when that blood ceases to
circulate it becomes a poison and turns to
corruption. Tho property and labor of
the country, are tho nerves and fibres of
the system. They are in a state of par
tial paralysis. The circulating medium
has retreated to tho centers in the vain
attempt to live independently of its basis
of value. By the continuation of this folly
it will rot and turn to corruption, ana de
stroy its owners, making the largest
dealers the biggest bankrupts and the
millionaires isolated and miserable.
Money, under a vault key- by whatev
er labor, endurance and privation it may
have been accumulated there, is and ever
has been, ever will be, a blighting curse
to its owners—if the owners have the
purpose to hold the key and keep it there
—just as well lock up the blood in a given
artery in its courso to the extremities;
or to a given vein in its retreat to the
heart, and then hope to escape the pains
of local fever and supi.ration"; if not gen
eral disorder. Money ha3 no use in the
world, that i3 consonant with tbe purpo
ses of God or enlightened man, except to
circulate Ami while circulating, it is
one cf tho greatest conveniences, and
means of comfort. Whtlo stagnant it is
und ever hai been, inferior in mischief
to no blight on the peace and happiness
of men.
Tho capacity of the human lungs is
limited, aud the respiration of tne life-
giving properties of the air i* a real
pleasure. But can any man enjoy more
toan he can take into hie own lungs?
Could there be any possible pleasure to
him if it were in his power to lock up
the air from tho thousands of fellow mor
tals around him, and to witness their
death by suffocation ? Would it not add
to the severity of his remorse if, after
their death, he bad by tho exercise of his
power nnd volition destroyed those whose
reciprocal kind offices had given him his
real pleasures in life, and whose depart
ure left him sad, forlorn, hopeless?
Thu human stomach can digest and
give pleasure to man in tbe consumption
of a given quantity of food, can it pnssi
bly enter into tho tnind of any rational
person of this ago that we can increase
our pleasures by taking more food than
wo can digest, if by doing so we give
ourselves pain and at tbo samo time
bring starvation to others?
The-e illustrations are all respectful
to those who hold tbo purse strings in
these dark da-rs of trouble to tho poor
and in the interest of that large class
no.v writhing in distress. To tho money
holders of tbis country it may be truly
said it is the rarest instance in which
you have produced, by vour toil, any
considerable amount of tho basis of value
'.hat you control. You have, by lawful
anti respectable means and management,
accumulated it on the industry and pro
duction of those with moro muscle to
work nnd less sagacity to utilize their
industry than you had to profit by your
shrewdness.
Your money is yours, and no one can
or will question your right to lock it up.
It is your right o kill yourself witfi full
ness. ani allow rvour fellow men around
you to dio of hunger. You have tho-le-
eal right to hoard your monpy until it
encase* your very soul in its own rotting
and cancering corruption—and until the
want of it destroys by starvation every
man nnd woman on whom yon could hope
to rely to make your wealth a pleasure,
or to make your money a basis of v<lue.
But when you shall have fully accom
plished all those things, what good shal>
then have come to yoi. or to them ?
Would you go into a flower garden and
hepo for the joy of its fragrance and
beauty, by cutting the vines and shrubs,
and seeing them wither and die at your
feet ? If you were a monarch acceding
to imperial power, would yon enhance
the glory of a reign by killing all your
loyal subjects ?
These are practical questions only in
so far as they tend to illustrate the basis
of valua, not, only of property, but of
money itBelf. That value is fictitious
often—frequently fluctuating—and, like
all mortal things, ia the subject of final,
and sometimes of speedy destruction
He is unable or unwilling to trace or
dinary effects from well authenticated
cause?, who c-ranut perceive tno danger
of such destruction m the present aitna
lion of our country and people
Values in town and city rest greatly
on valnps in the country that eu tacinp
them. Values in the country depend
much on labor and its results. This is
the basis of tbe value of not only th»
circulating paper »o call money, but of
bullion itself. They may appreciate ap
parently—their purchasing power may
lie increased by many conditions in trade
and production—bnt at last it is only a
depreciation of other values. There can
bo none more vitally interested in the
wealth and prosperity of tbe country, the
value of its property and sue .ess of its
labor, than tho capitalist himself; and
there can bo nothing moro suicidal to
him than to exert tbe mammoth powe-
of money to crush everything that gives
a value to mfeney.
This the money holders aro doing by
boarding it under the guise of a want of
confidence in the property of tbocouDtry,
and placing it. beyond the power of a
poverty stricken people to make labor
profitable, and thus restore property to its
former value. It is lamentably truo that
by far too large a proportion of our pop
ulation, of bot h races and sexes, are not
engaged in productive industry—living
in wbat were easy positions before the
country became so reduced—which means
living by utilizing tbe industry of other
people.
But, notwithstanding this, thero are
many who deserve no c insure, and to
whom such criticisms do not apply, Thoy
are people who have b«?n industrious
and active, and not extravagant in liv
ing; who by consooutiye short crops and
low prices are reduced and exhausted.
They See in sad want ot a little of the
vast amounts others have accumulated
in tho past from their products, and who
without the hazards of farming with free
labor and against disastrous drouths,
have been able to save instead of lose.
And whijjh is acceptable to them now
becanso it is under vault keys which no*
security they can offer can turn. Under
such policy the country and people will
continue to languish.
Truly your friend,
Herbert Fielder.
Mr. Stewart’s Lire and Character.
From the Now York World.]
Mr. Stewart was seventy-two and a
half years old. He was born in Antrim
county, Ireland, a few mi’os from Bel
fast, of a Scotch Protestant family of
good name and somewhat large posses
sions of land. The stories told of hie
poverty in early life are groundless. He
never was otherwise than comfortably
well off. Of his father he had no recol
lection, hts mother having been widowed
three days after his birth, and he came
under the care of his grandfather, a
man of much shrewdness and sagacity.
The boy was apt at study and of quiet
and careful ways, and his grandfather
proposed to make a scholar of him. He
sent Alexander first to an academy at
Belfast, and thence to Trinity College,
Dublin, where it was intended, and with
his acquiescence, that he should fit him
self for holy orders in the Established
Church.
But in his second term at tho college
these plans were disarranged by tho un
expected death of his grandfather. This
made him, when not yet twenty years
old, the head of his family, and, if it be
certain that his mother was already dead,
the only survivor in the direct family
line. He had an income large enough to
comfortably support him, but was nn-
suited to an inactivo life, and after a few
months passed at the homestead in look
ing over the field determined to come to
America. He had co definite aim, it is
said. He was fond of travel and sight
seeing, and Lad no need to plungo at
once into- hard work. He came out in
1823, bringing letters of introduction
through friends of his father to good fam
ilies iD New York, and thus secured at
once a creditable position.
At this time he wo3 more student than
anything else, fond of tho text-books
which he had been compelled to desert so
abruptly, and lived here for some months
a quiet and rather scholastic life. It was
during this time that he had his brier
experience in school teaching, to which
allusion is so frequently made. One of
tho teachers in “Mr. Bragg’s school,'
Cedar street—this wa3 fifty-three years
ago—with whom young Stewart had
made an intimacy, fell si.k, and Stewart
volunteered to take hie place, without
pay. The teacher died and Stewart kept
the school until the summer vacation,
some months in all, but refusing to be
paid. He taught merely writing and
arithmetic, and there are ladies living in
the city to-day who were his pupils in
these elementary studies.
When he bad attained his majority he
began to speak among his acquaintances
of going homo to get his inheritance,
about $10,000. There is a story that the
Mr. Chambers from whose family Cham
bers street got its name dissuaded him
from what had been his intent, to Tein-
vest tbe money and live at home on the
income, and urged him to into trade.
Young Stewart dissented; he know noth
ing, bo said, of trade, and had to take a
friend’s advice on the hats and gloves
bought for his personal use. Mr. Cham
bers tr ated this objection with much
impatience. “Put all your money in in
sertion and scallop trimmings in Bel
fast,” said he, “and bring them out here.
My word for it, you’ll double your
money.”
•If I double my money in any such
way,” responded the sceptical young
hook scholar, “I’ll give you my profits.”
He sailed for Ireland—it was a forty
daj s’ passage that trip—and nearly starv
ed going over, be and the only othtr
cabin passenger, the supply cf every
thing hut dry biscuits most lamentably
giving out. Being in Belfast a few days
after bis arrival he passed a shop in
whose window were displayed laces and
something he inferred to be scalloped
trimmings mainly because he knew a
'scallop” when ho saw it. With Mr.
chambers’ urgency fresh in hi3 mind, he
stopped at the shop and decided to at
least find out what insertionand scallop-
d trimmings were. “You keep inser
tions?” ho asked of the shopwotnan.
She pointed out specimens and he bought
a quarter of a yard and paid three pence
therefor, making a similar bargain im
mediately thereafter for a quarter of a
yard of the other unknown thing.
Then he began to apply the tkjpory of
wholesale and retail, and found it true
that if he wanted a good many yards of
these commodities ho could get them
much cheaper “I want a thousand
pound’s worth,” said he, and the shop-
woman sent him with surprise and sud
den esteem to the manufacture?, Work
man. The purchase wa3 made, though
it took almost tho whole of Stewart’s
fortune, which had eomo way diminished
to little more than half bis expectations.
He brought hi3 goods over here, and,
true to his promts, proposed to giTO
Chambers all the profits.
Chambers wouldn’t bear of it, and so
they two proposed a joint enterprise.
This was the beginning of Stewart’s life
os a merchant. They found a store to
let Bt No. 283 Broadway, and after delib
erating over its high rental—$375 a year
—opened it with tne future millionaire
as proorietor and salesman, and Cham
bers as his bnycr and adviser. The store
was a single room, 12 feet front and 30
feet deep, and Stewart at first did all tho
work therein. Here ho began his re
markable acquaintance with the d> tails
ot tho business, and acqnired that su
preme judgment of goods which has
passed into a popular saying concerning
him..
The reports of his life at this early cay
attributaT to him besides three marked
characteristics, or possibly they are nut
two. In the first place and from the first,
the most exact honesty. The littlo Broad
way shop became known in tho city as a
place where thero were no lies told, and
co tricks of light and shade were played
with the window curtains to help the sale
of damaged goods. If a piece of goods
was not perfect, Mr. Stewart said so; if
tho colors were not fast, ho explained
that at the o>-taet, having moreover per
feet pieces and fast colors at the disposal
of his customers after the explanation.
One of his first clerks, it is said, left
his service in disgust because the young
merchant rebuked him for selling a dress
pattern along with two or three glib lies
about it* quality. “You're bound to fail
on such principles,” remarked tbis bril
liant gentleman, and disappeared forth
with from history. Mr. Stewart’s exact
ness had not tbis way of exhibition only,
but it pervaded all his business habits,
and as bis business grew larger and ab
sorbed bis whole attention, became the
most marked characteristic of the man.
Small men, phvsicaliy, are apt to be ex
act whether anybody has explained it or
not. In his first shop and in the immense
“dry goods palaces” that succeeded it he
required of his clerks and salesmen the
most scrupulous exactness.
Any trifling disarrangement, amount
ing to no more than an untidiness, an
noyed and even deeply displeased him.
Knowing bis business as he did down to
tbo minutest details, he knew at a glance
if everything on the great floors of his
marble and iron stores was as it should
be, and whenever he spied a fault be
made it his personal business to set the
fault right and render hi3 reason on the
spot. With so many men in his employ
ment many naturally cardly saw him
from week to week. “ He never spoke
to me bnt twice,” raid an ex-clerk. “Once
I tore a piece of wrapping paper roughly
across, and he came around to tell mo £
shonld have fo'ded it and made even
edges. _ People,” he said, “didn’t like to
get shiftless-looking bundles. Again, I
wound a handle round with an extra
turn of string, and before I could cut it
he bad the bundle out of my hand and
nnwonsd the unnecessary turn. * Never
waste even a piece of string,’ he said;
* waste is always wrong.’ ’»
It is easily imaginable that in the forty-
five or more years of his business life,
with his thousands of clerks, the repress
ion of individual wastes, though they
were minute, made, in the aggregate, no
inconsiderable economy, and tbe unrea
sonableness of any waste may very natur
ally have Btrongly impressed itself upon
his mind. Passing through his retail store
on his morning visit, without any special
inspection, he noted a dozen minor points
which the floor walkers and department
managers had overlooked entirely. Had
a case come to his knowledge where in
the sale of a bit of ribbon or calico a
fraction of an inch less than the proper
length ordered had been sent, dismissal
would have been the pnnhhment of the
offending salesman.
In matters of ventilation Mr. Stewart
was notably particular. Was the air in
either cf his stores in the least out of
the proper condition, he detected it, and
ordered the correction. Were his orders
neglected, its case was noted by him on
his return that way, and an instant in
vestigation followed. It seemB probable,
from tho numerous stories told of his
private relations with hi3 subordinates,
that he erred in expecting from all and
singular the necessarily somewhat mis
cellaneous company the same exact ap
prehension which ho had himrelf (level
oped. Thereby he appeared to novices a
nard master, and was somewhat dreaded
by them.
It is said that the pay of tho army of
minor clerks was -kept pretty low. For
those at any rate who had worsed long
and faithfully in his servico he was lib
eral. The managers of his various de
partments, his agents in one line or an
other of bie work, and his chief clerks,
received salaries in excess of those paid
by other houses for similar services. To
such as broke down in his service or he
came disabled pensions were offered. One
man, who had been a watchman, became
deranged, and was kept for a year at a
lunatic asylum, all charges being paid by
Mr. Stewart, and upon a partial recovery
was given a light task at a full salary
To puch as were willing to givo full and
faithful labor and could wait long enough,
the reward of advancement was certain.
To exactness Mr. Stowart added the
keenest business foresight and a tact that
was forever manifesting itself in some
new direction. He did a cash business,
even in these latter days. Ho never
speculated outside of his business, nor,
strictly speaking, insido of it. To know
what the next popular demand would bo
—it could scarcely he less than knowl
edge since there are few of his mistakes
recorded— and to have tho supply ready
when tbe want announced itself, wa3 tbe
work at which he surpassed. Ho studied
politics to understand the markets they
bred, and fioance with the result at least
of escaping disaster after disaster, emp
tying bis acres of shelves while yet thero
were buyers, accepting tho earlier and
lighter lose, if need be, but within tbe
limits of his business never taken una
wares.
An isolated example of his business
tact in little things may do noticed.
Some years ago he gave special erders to
the clerks of his up town store to treat
with particular courtesy the middle-
class and poor women customers who
came in on the Fou-th avenue entrances.
His avowed object was to gam the cus
tom that might otherwise go to the
Bowrey stores, and in thi3 he was in a
large measure successful.
His two great stores are too well known
to need description. Tho marble down
town building dates hack to 1848. The
first movement of his retail husiness wa
aloat 1S30, and to No. 262 Broadway,
where ho rented the first and second
floors. He next moved up to No. 257
Broadway and remained thero till the
present iron building at Tenth street
was ready. An estimate of tho man,
compared with Astor and Vanderbilt, has
recent y been printed in the World.
Some few personal details may here be
added. Mr. Stewart never held office.
He was appointed Secretary of tho Treas
ury in Gen. Grant’s first Cabinet, but
could not under the laws accept the po
sition.
In person he was small and active,
with keen eyes, Btndy hair and whisker-*,
and slightly stooping shoulders. He
dressed always with extreme neatness
and plainly, and was in vigorous health
till h monto ago, having scarcely known
severe sickness. Tho question. What
did he give away ? is naturally &3ke 1 of
a man so wealthy, and there is quite as
naturally a general disappointment at
tho answer. Mr. Stewart’s continuous
and privato charities have not been re
corded. There, are, however, ono or two
notable instances of munificence people
remember. Daring ths last famine in
Ireland he bought a ship, loaded it with
provisions and sent it to hi3 na’ivo land,
and filled the returning vessel with
young men and women, for whom ho had
already secared work when they reached
this country.
Ono of his gifts during the war wa3 of
$100,000 to the Sanitary Commission. It
is reported that ho promised to give “as
much as Vanderbilt." “I’ll give as much
as Stewart,” said the railroad king, and
back and forth tho subscription list went,
till Vanderbilt in a fit drew his check for
$100,000 Stewart immediately did tho
same. In 1862 ho contributed $10,000 to
the relief of tho Lancashire operatives.
One of the pleasantest stories is ot his
provision for a lady whom he found in
poverty in a foreign city, and whose only
claim on him was that she had said the
day beforo be op^-Aed his first store iD
New York: “You mast not sell anything
till I come in. I shall bo tho first pur
chaser, and I will bring you luck.” The
World recently printed an account of his
revived plan fora working-woman’s home
in the enormous building on Fourth ave
nue. This ho wa3 pushing to an early
completion at hi3 death. It was intend
ed to snelter her«v and to supply with
board at cost price, at least 1,500 work
ing-women lacking the protection of a
home.
Mr. Stewart has no blood relations liv
ing; hois the last of his race, having
died without issue. He married in 1841
Miss Cornelia M. Clinch, siBter of the
present Deputy Collector of this port,
and the only relatives he leaves are con
nections of his wife. These are Mrs.
Judge Smith, a daughter of Mrs. Stew
art’s brother; Ch> ries Clinch, a nephew
of Mrs. Stewart, and with Mr. Kingman,
manager of tho branch house in Paris;
three Mis?es Clinch, half-sisters of Mrs.
Stowart, and the children of CharleB O.
Butler, who married a sister of Mrs
Stewart, and who, his wife having died,
has married again. The Misses Morrow,
daughters of an ofd friend of the Stewart
family in Ireland, havo been often seen
with Mr. and Mrs. Stewart, by whom
they have been regarded almost as
blood relations. Mr. Stewart was a mem
ber of St. Mark’s church, and regular in
kia attendance there.

Liver and Bleott Disease*.
By R. V. Fierce, M. D.. Autnor of "The
People’s Common Sense Medical Ad
viser.”
A healthy liver secretes each day about
two and a half pounds of bile, which
contains a great amount of waste mate
rial taken from tho blood. When the
liver becomes torpid or congeeted;it fails
to eliminate thi3 vast amount of noxious
substance, which, therefore, remains to
poison tho bicod, and bo conveyed io
every part of the system. What must be
tho condition of the blood when it is re
ceiving and retaining each day two and
a half pounds of poison ? Nature tries to
woik off this poison through other chan
nels aud organs—the kidneys, lungs,
skin, etc., but these organs become over
taxed in performing this labor in addi
tion to their natural functions, and can
not long withstand th** preesure, hut be
come variously diseased.
The bnin, whieh is the greab elec
trical centre of all vitality, is unduly
stimulated by the unhealthy blood which
passes to it from the heart, and it fails
to perform its office healthily. Henoe
the symptoms of bile poisoning, which
aro dullnca.-*, headache, incapacity to
keep the mind on any subject, impair
ment of memory, dizzy, sleepy or ner
vous feelings, gloomy forebodings and
irritability of t--mpi>r. The blood itself
being dssoased, as it forma the sweat
upon the surface of the skin, it is so irri
tating and poisonous that it produces
discolored brown spots, pimples,
blotches, and other eruptions, cores,
boils, carbuncles and scrofulous tumors.
The stomach, bowels, and other organs
cannot escape t-eciming affeoted, sooner
or hter, and we have, as the result, COS-
tiveuea?, piles, dropsy, dyspepsia, diar
rheas. Or her symptoms are common, as
bitter or bad taste in the month, intenial
beat, palpitation,teasingcongb.unsteady
appetite, choking sen ation in throat,
bloating of s oraach, pain in sides or about
shoulders or back, coldness ot extremi-
ties,etc.,etc Only afe*of the above symp
toms are likely to tie present in any case
at one time. The liver being tbe groat
depurating, or blond-cleansing organ ot
tho system, set this great “ housekeeper
of our health” at work, and tho foul cor
ruptions which gender in the blood, and
rot out, as it were, the machinery of life,
are gradually expelled from thp Bystem.
For this purpose. Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery, with very small doses
dailv of Dr. Pierie’s Pleasant Purgative
Pel.ets, is pre-eminently th-* articles
needed. They cure every kind of humor
from the worst scrofula to the common
pimple, blotch or eruption. Great eating
ulcers kin ly lieal under their mighty
curative influence. Virulent blood poi
