It is a Irito anting, that in America It Is ouly threw 'Derations from eliirt eWveii li ..;.in,iltHves. In all tho story of business, which Is part of the history of Manhattan Is land, tlioiv Is no Miltler, no nioro ovor w bi'liuitii; i liapivr than that which set forth tho liMililin ntiil breaking of the A. T. Stmvnrt property ns It Is called to mind by tho failure of Iiiltou, llugbea & Co., tho smvessoni. It Is well Digit three-quarters of a eontiiry now since an Irishman kin Iws, portioiiloMS, for all he knew, save for the pack of college learnln.e landed lu'TCew York. Ho took a Ihx of n place In Broadway Im1ow Chambers strict ami spread out there a little stock of Irish lac.-. It bad coat hlui every dol lar that he owned. A. T. STEWART. But the trade judgment of A.T. Stew art proved itself jrood. He sold S'-MO worth of the lace In a twinkling, and the house of Stewart was established. Elat over this omen of success, ho framed a business motto thus: "Hon esty, discretion, watchfulness, persis tent labor." His life, the but drop of bis energy, ? a"..! an; bod. . were alway staked ai-aiast iiis credit. Nobody should as sail tUnt at any cost. There should be no shadow on it. He made money when other men were crying panic. In 1S37, when most nie could not borrow a farthing, Stew art enlarged his business. Ten years later there was no store in New York big enough to house the business he b.-.d et o'm,r. He built one! 'Wliito liirirtd men of to-day remember bow the New York of their time stared at fiat temple of trade nt Chambers street, and more business hurried to make friends with so much thrift. His" agent? were In every market In Kurope; his customer were in every city and hamlet in America. He bought' as he hired, cheaply. He sold as he talked, quickly. Ills employes were servants. Stewort knew no sentiment but pelf. He was just. He gave to charities, but only o much as would make him known of n.en, biing biin new trade, and, Inc'.c'.cntally, ir.jfce goo- !cs stand ing account with tho Fioiu..!. While he Jnggled with the prices of merchan dise, he wept over the condition of the slaves In the South. He sent a ship load of provisions to Ireland an ad vertisement that he could not other wise have secured for quadruple the $50,000 it cost him. And out of all this ''honesty and watchfulness" new greatness came. Tho old apple woman who had sat on his doorstep had brought him luck, he said, and he must carry It uptown with him. Then, still trusting in the Al mighty but "hustling" while he prayed, he built that giant store at Broadway and Tenth street, where recently the flcanolnl collapse occurred. He gave SjO.ooo out of hand to aid the ufferers by the Chicago Are. He sent 4000 barrels of flour to Havre when France was writhing In the ago nies of the German war. But it was all business. Stewart built the marble palace at the corner of Thirty-fourth street and Fifth avenue. What millions it cost him no man, save perhaps Judge Hilton, ever knew. If one thing were more price less than another, that Stewart bought to make his home the princdiest palace upon earth. That was not all. ne bade the great est minds of the century to his board and they came. And he spread that ac cumulation of material and intellectual and artistic finery before the world and said: "This is all Stew art's." But he called It a "mere toy," and people mar velled. Mr. Stewart died at half-past 1 'clock In the afternoon of April 10, 187(1, in the southeast comer room of tho Thirty-fourth street mansion. Ho had been married flfty-oue years, but he had no children, his two sous having died in infancy. On November 7, 1S7S, Mr. Stewart's body was stolen from St. Mark's churchyard. Tho sensation that fol lowed, the lung search, the rewards of fered and never claimed, the endless tecrimiuaiious and scandals, were the sensations uf that day. And so with the failure of a dry goods firm Is bro kon the connecting link betwecu the achievements of tho richest niau in America twenty years ago aud the present.

The following experience Is related by a San Francisco fruit importer: I was opening a box of bananas nnd pushed my band through the straw to get nt the stalk. I felt nround for n few seconds nnd thought I could feel something moving around on the back of my hand. I had often heard of the presence of centipeds in fruit fhlp ments, so I carefully removed my hand so ns to make as little commotion as possible. Imagine my surprise and alarm to see a five Inch ceutlped slow ly crawling up my arm to my coat sleeve. I was on the point of striking It off nnd Jumping all over it when n fruit packer, standing nenr by.warncd me to make no attempt to get rid of It. but to let it crawl ofT at Its leisure. I know I got as white as a sheet, be lieving every moment that It would sink its claws into me and send its powerful poison through my blood. I looked at It with fear and trembling but did not dare to move a muscle. It lifted its head and seemed perfectly satisfied to remain where it was. I could hardly restrain myself from making a quick motion and shaking It off. but my companion warned me again to keep quiet. All I could feci was a tickling sensation as tho insect's legs quivered and felt around In every direction. The tickling increased, and I was almost ready to faint with sup pressed excitement. Finally the centlped looked up at my sleeve nnd slowly made for It, moving nil the legs In unison. The sousatlon was by this time simply unbearable, and I feared I would be unnble to re main calm until the thing got entirely j off. My flesh seemed to shrink away ! as the horrid creature proceeded, but In a few more seconds, every one of which seemed an hour, It had settled Itself comfortably on the fabric of my clothing, and with a motion quicker than I was ever known to make before, I routed It with a stick nnd sat down, perspiring from head to foot. It was the most thrilling experience I ever figured in, and It made me sick the rest of the day. MR. MOODY'S METHODS. Ha li Not I.le.naed to Preach, bat He Doei So, pverthIei, Kfr.-etlrrlr. ! For tweuty-fie years I). L. Moody has bi'ou a faithful preacher of right eousness, although no Tresbytery or council or bishop has set him apart for the ministry. Most men would be sotisfled to have dene the evangelistic work which first made the name of Mr. Moody known throughout America and Great Britain, but the educational work which he is carrying on at Northlleld, Mass., his native town and nt Chicago would occupy all of the time and thought of men possessed of more than ordinary abilities. The preparations for the summer conferences, running over two months or more, and attend ed by thousands of people, uud the responsibility of conducting them j would lead the majority of men to ask I for nn extended vacation when the season closed. P WIGHT L. MOODY. Mr. Moody carries all these heavy burdens as easily as most men carry their lighter onus, and to them he has added another, which is considered one of the most important in his many sided life. Northfield gave the evangelist to the world, but Mr. Moody has given to the town a world-wide fame. He has estab lished Institutions which will be car ried on by his friends and by those who have been educated rhere for gen erations to come; the Influences start ed will never cease. Mr. Moody's father died in 1841, but his mother lived until a few months ago, more than W years of age. The son, whose name is best known of the family of nine children, went to Boston when he was 17 years old to be a clerk in the shoe store of his undo. A person who knew him well in those days is cred ited with the following prophecy con cerning him: "He is very unlikely to become a Christian of clear and decided views of Gospel truth, still less to fill any ex tended sphere of public usefulness." Should Have KeverM-d tho Order of Thine In a certain Irish college the student at bis oral examination has to give his answers from n pulpit before the Board of Examiners. Once a student, who had no mean opinion of his attain ments, asceuded the pulpit with a rather self-satlsfled nnd hopeful nir. The examiner determined to "lower" him a little, plied him with a series of "stiff" Interrogations. Hardly a single correct answer was given, and when his time had expired he descended and returned to Lis place crestfallen and humiliated. "Now," said the victorious examiner when he caught the eye of his victim again, "if you bad gone up a you came down you'd have come down as you went up." Mrs. Ollphnnt, who has written seventy-eight novels, never writes in the daytime. She thinks the stillness of ulghi conducive to good writing. An alitor comes in contact with many amusing articles for publication Notice the following : Mr. Editor, I desire to thank the friends and neigh bors most heartily in this manner for the united aid and co-operation dur ing the illness and death of my late husband who escaped from me by the hand of death on Fiiday last while eating breakfast. 1 o the friends and all who contributed so willingly to wards making the last moments and funeral of my husband a splendid success, I desire to remember most kindly, hoping these few lines will find them enjoying the same blessing.
