Kissing a picture, fair and meek,

an YORK, April 18th, 1876.
THE DEATH or A onsu MERCHANT.
' ‘he death of A. T. Stewart, the world’s
greatest merchant, was the event of the week
and the one topic of conversation. Almost
fifty years ago a young Scotch-Irishman came
to New York to seek employment as a teach-
er. Not succeeding, he' - determined to give
up the profession for which he had been fit-
ted and embark in trade. He had just about
mone'y enough to fill a basket, and for a few
weeks he peddled his goods from door to
door. Then he opened a little store down
town, and began a cafeer. which is almost
romantic. He had a theory as to how busi-
ness should be done, and from the very first'
he adhered to it with a fidelity that was won-
derful. He bought always for cash, and sold
in the same way. To everything he bought
he added a proper per cent., and the goods
were sold at that price,-or they ‘lay on‘ his
counters for so many months, after which
time they were marked down to a point where
they would sell. There never was a particle
of trickery or fraud in his establishment.
The goodswere carefully bought, and'sold at
a fair profit, and the most ignorant person
could buy to just as good advantage as the
most expert. If a woman, in the country
wanted a dress, all she had to do was to
write the color, material and cost, and her
husband could get it just as well as she. He
was a mercantile genius. . If a pattern of cal-_
ico pleased him, he bought not. only all that
the manufacturer had, but he bound himself
to take all that could be made of it, so that he
alone had it. Possessed of enormous capi-
tal, he could take advantage of the markets,
and, buying always for cash, he could out-
buy all of his competitors. . .
There is no,Other such establishnient as his
in the world. His down- wn store is devot-
ed entirely. to wholesaling, and his up.town
to retailing. In the two he gave employment
to over two thousand people, and in addition
he had various factories, in, which he em-
ployed four thousand more. . Hedealt in eve-
rything—dry goods, carpets, fancy goods,
brushes, soaps, perfumery ;, all under one
roof, and this spring he intended to add boots
and shoes. In that wonderful coneema lady
could buy a dress ready-mad . The altera:
tions, if any were needed, being made in the
house in a few moments, and, without going 1
out, she could buy her children’s Outfit, or
furnish her house throughout. And every-
thing in the concern went as smoothly as
clockwork. The army of clerks were at
their posts precisely at seven, and if one was
late he was charged with the lost time. Each
stood at his own counter and sold only one
kind of goods. ;_ "Au army of boys carried the
purchasesand. 1990‘? 1.0. a small army. of
cashiers, who had ’the‘parcels made upland
made the change, and t-lien,if, desired; the
goods were sent home." It was not an uncom-
mon thing for Stewart to sell $3,000 worth of
shilling calicos in a single day, and his sales
of gloves mounted up into the millions.
His estate will foot up not less than $40,-
000,000, of which $6,000,000 is in real estate
in this city. 4 ~
His name has so long been a. word of
strength, and he had gone so proudly through
a hundred convulsions of business, when men
were falling around him, that it seemed as if
he was exempt from the troubles of mortali-
ty, and that the common lot of all eoultlg'hard- .
1y be his. It did riot seem as if he could file.
So carefully had his illness been-,keptlfrom
the world by his trusted agents, that the: news
of his death fell on the city "with adrdptntic :
suddenness’. He must be numbered as One-of
for them in the church, and" without doubt
they were glad to bein'the sun, enjoying their
unaccustomediholidgy. , 1“ " .. . -,.. ~

Oh. the same «yam Stewajrt was buried,
' 3anOth’cr funeral fobkifilfiedavliosc‘ chief ob-
ject seemed to be to~_out-d0 the display of the
millionaire, only as it was arranged according
to tfie‘szh 3s'of13tlie‘"deCt-ased, it was probably
intended only to show that she~could have as
fine a funeral as anybody. The (lead woman
was fifty years 'old, daughter of n Inilkman
who drovc,his own cart,‘ unless his wife re-
,lieved him in that duty, and the widow of a
flick Inan, who made his money in ice and
real estate speculations long ago. By her
wish, the corpse was in her wedding dress
with white and red roses, laid in a collin rich
' with black- and violet velvet frinrred and t‘a's-
salad with bullion and lined 3th quilted
white satin. The cofiln lay in a parlor, back-
ed by tall monumentof flowers which looked
as if the ornamentalsculpture of a‘stone cul—
ter’s yard had been transported there. The
hearse was drawn by six black horses with
gilded trappingsmexl came six carriages with
four horses each, seventy more followed, half
of them empty. and a large wagon carried
the [lowers to the grave. Pride mulIl no far-
Ihcr go.
'I‘IIE rasnons. ,
The finish and yet simplicity of the new
styles are admirable. A fashionable polouaisc
is-cut. with only one Cart, and the back has
gores under. the arms so that it defines the fig-
ure with the elegance of a light garment with
all the ease of a three quarter fitting one.
This is the style above all others for summer
traveling. A specimen in‘ drab cloth, for
Spring has a large pocket, like a courier's bag,
slung with a quilted strap of cloth over the
right shoulder, a most 'convenient notion for
carrying the dozen indispensible things a wo-
man wants in traveling. A ncwhat‘that goes
well: with this :md promises to be in favor, is
the small shepherdess shape bent over the
foreheadaud'curled slightly above the ears,
of rough straw, to' be trimmed with black
velvet and field flowers, or with cream white
the habit. This is‘a veritable shade hat, and
yet modest. enough in size for town 'wear.
Shirred overskirts have nearly disappeared.
The new ones are very long, allround, drawn
have comparatively little trimming.

The State Agricultural Experi-
ment- ’Stat-ion.—-What it is do—
ing.
The Connecticut Experiment Station, loca-
ted at Middletown, has been organized and
at work not quite six months. Four chemists
have been employed, and, besides other
scientific work, they have analyzed nearly
Some are found excellent—worth all they
cost, Others, selling for high prices, are
very poor, and even fraudulent—for instance
one which was sold in Considerable quanties
in the state last year, had a mixture of sugar.
house scum and salt-marsh muck, containing
about.50 per cent. of sand, and no more val—
uablc‘ vertilizer material in a ton than could
be bought for $8.00 or less in some of the
better articles in common use. This was rep:
resented by a smooth-tougued agent, as “a
first-class phOsphate, equal to Peruvian guano,
excellent for any crop,” and was sold at $55
per ton, “at a discount of $5.00 from the reg-
ular prices, to introduce the article I" '
Large meetings of farmers and fertilizer
dealers have been held at the. Station, and
for the ' ‘
roman PROTECTION
of the Connecticut farmer and the dealer
who ofiersa really good fertilizer for sale,
a majority of the leading fertilizer manufac-
tures and dealers inthe State, and a number
of other states, have signed an agreement
'at the Station, to sell their goods UNDER
GUARA‘N FEE or COMPOSITION, the latter being,
at all times, subject to verification by analy-
sis at the Station.
By this means it is hoped the gross imposi-
tions, in the shape Of worthless commercial
fertilizers, from which the farmers of Con-
necticut have so long suffered, avill be driven
from the market- -~. V '
Now, for fenders, Who wish to know
whether the fertilizers they buy are as good
as guaranteed, the Station makes analyses at
low rates or for nothing. .
Work of this sort has all ready been done
for the benefit of _the state at large, and 'an
idea of the usefulness of this institution may
be gained from'the fact that, in addition to
much other work, such an amount has. been
preformed in these gratuitous analysis as
would have cost, at ordinary prices, over
$2500. The State appropriation is only
$2800 per annum—insufiicient’ to pay even
the salaries of the chemist employed, the re—
maining expenses being met by the contribu-
tions of private individuals, aided by small
sums received for private‘ analyses.

By means of public meetings, circulars
sent to all who ask for them and many
others, and published in the newspapers, and

made to'bringEth‘e Station directly to the

PHILADELPHIA 1N 1774.—-Old Philadelphia
during the sessions of the Continental Congress
presented probably a more picturesque ap—
pearance than at any other time of her history.
A dense background of forest threw her few
busy streets into strong relief; the river was
crowded with shipping; the-half drilled troops
of the new army- passed down High Street
‘Ifibm'time to time, drum and fife stirring the
I ' mbered air; .the vague electric excite-
, nt Of impending war was abroad, and gave
n'é meaning to ordinary greetings, to even
"' 5’ play; there was, too‘, every change
the victims'of the sharp inflhmhtatory “figfiibfii variety of costume, as in a shifting. pan-
peculiar to,the season. His death was one of
intense suffering from inflammatiOn of the.
bowels, to Which he was subject, but which
in this case was the result of a severe Cold.
With the usual profusion of scentless white?
flowers, callas and camelias, prOper to fuller?
als, florists now deftly mingle yellowstewroe
sea and violets, shades suitable to mourning,
with subdued and excellent effect- The scent
of flowers was heavy at the church door, and
the scene in the chanCel, the tall‘ white obe-
lisks and-crease of lilies almost filling the
space, with the rich violet hangings of pulpit
and reading desk for Lent glowing against
them was superb. ' At the back, the altar,
’draped with purple cloth, bore a wide cross
nearly ten feet high, in front a table of smi-
lax supported an obelisk of white flowers,
with the word “ Remembered” in violets im-
bedded in the white at its base. In front, a
tabletf§o smilax upheld a column six feet
high, flanked bya large, anchor and a floral
harp, whose cords were strung with violets,
ester of blossoms in the green at the base.
Below, the coffin rested on a bank of flowers.
The widow provided that the decorations be
duplicated, so that the cofiin.was lifted from
one company of emblems at the house'to find
another bed among them at the church.
The house was filled with fashion and re;
spectability, chosen singers'chanted the sweet-
est music,-:an_d outside, in the crowd, each
man hugged himself that hewas not as the
rich one who‘lay'within. . “ Ah," said an old-
Irishwoman, lookingon, “ Perhaps we’ll have

LITTLE LISA. - '
The song-lament of the little Spanish min-
strel boy, for his dead amen from George
Eliot’s “Spanish Gypsy.” ‘
leworld is great : the birds all fly from me,
The stars are golden fruit upon the tree ’
All out of reach : my little sister went,
And I am lonely.
. . . i
The world is great : (I tried to mount the hill
Above the pines, where the light lies so still,
But it rose higher: little Lisa went,
And I am lonely.
The world is-great: the wind comes rushing by,
I wonder where it comes from; sea-birds cry
And hurt my heart, my little, sister went,
And I am lonely.
‘The world is great : the'people laugh and talk,
And make loud holiday: how fast they walk !
I’m lame, they push me; little Lisa went,
And I amdonely. ‘

Missed a Car.
A good story is told of a gentleman well
known in town in connection with a late
visit of his to a drug-store. The gentleman’s
name is Carr. There are several Carts in the
city, however, and the given name of this
particular one will not be revealed in this
. item for worlds. This Carr'wanted some
medicine for his family the other night after .
twelve o'clock, and visited a drug-store to
obtain it. The drug-store was closed, and he
rang the bell vigorously. . The drugg'st at
once put his head out of an upper window and
inquired, sleepily:
“ Who’svtherc ‘2”
- “ Mr. Carr," responded the gentleman at
the bell. '
“ Missed a car ? Well, what’s that to me,
confound you ? Stop ringing the bell and
go about your business, man 1" fl
Emu went the window and the druggist
we! lost to sight. The discomfitted Mr.
Carr was lost in amazement for a time, but
finally seized the bell and rang it frantically.
The druggist’s head appeared at the window
again. He was wide awake this time.
“ Who’s there, now 1'"
“ Mr. Carr, I tell you 1"
“ Why, your impatience! Who
cares if you have! Get out of that, quick!
If you’re drunk and have missed a car it's
your own lookout. Don’t touch that bell
again 1". .
“But, I tell you, you idiot, I'm Mr.
Carr 1" ‘
“Oh, Lord ? Why didn’t you say so be-
fore ?” >
The window went down again and the
druggist soon appeared at the door to explain
volubly that he’d supposed he’d been aroused
by some drunken fellow who wanted sympa.
thy. Possibly he gave Mr. Carr something
'to pacify him. Druggist keep-pacificators

From the Iht‘ladelpht‘a Bulletin.
A Fearful Summons. ,
“ Mr. Smith, I called to see if I could take
your life.”
“Wh—wh——what d’you say ?" exclaimed
Smith, in some alarm. .
“ I say that I’ve come around to take your
life. My name is GuIin. As soon as Iheard
your were unprotected, that you had nothing
on you life, I thought I would justrun in and
settle the thing for you at once,"
Then Smith got up and went to the other
side of the table, ard said to himself :
“ It’s a lunatic who has broken out of the
asylum. He’ll kill me if I halloo or run.” I
must humor him.
Then Gunn, fumbling in his pocket after
his mortality tables, followed Smith around
"the room and said to him : '
“ You can choose your own plan, you
know. ' It’s immaterial to me. Some like
one way, and some like another. It’s a mat-
ter of taste. Which one do you'prefer ?"
. “ I‘d rather not die at all,” said Smith in
despair. ‘ ,
“ But you’ve got to die, of course,’f said
Gunn ;‘ “that’s athingthere’s no chofc: about.
A111 can do is to make death easy for you ;
to make you feel happy as you go off. Now
which plan 'will you take ?"
“Couldn’t you postpone it until to-morrow
so as to give me time to think ?”
“No ; I prefer to take you on the spot. I
might as well do it now as at.any other time.
You have a wife and children ?"
“ Yes, and'I think you ought to have some
consideration for then and let me o .”
“ Well, that’s a curious kind of an argu-
ment,” said Gunn. “When I take you your ..
family will be perfectly protected, of course,
and not otherwise.”
“ But; why do you want to murder me 1"
“ Murder you! Murder you! ‘ Who in
thunder’s talking about murdering you i”
“ Why, didn’t you say—"
, “ I milled to get you to takeout a life in- '
surance policy in our company, and 14—"
“ Oh, youvdid, did you i” said Smith, and-
denly becoming fierce. “Well, I ain’tfla-going,
to do it, and I want you to skip out of this
office or I’ll brain you with a poker. Come
now, skip !”
Then Mr. Gunn withdrew without sellinga-
policy, and Smith is still uninsured.
How House Air is Spoiled.-
The following facts will show how the air
in houses becomes contaminated :
1. An adult person consumes thirty-four
grammes of oxygen per hour, a gramme be-
ing equal to fifteen grains.
2. A stearine candle consumes about one-
half as much.
3. An adult gives 03 forty grammes per
hour of carbonic acid. _A child of fifty
pounds weight, gives off as much as an adult
of 100 pounds weight.
4. A school room filled with children will
if .not well ventilated at the beginnm' g of the
hour, contain twenty—five parts. in 1000 of
carbonic acid, at the end of the first hour
fort 7“” ad at the end 'of the second hour
eighty-one.
5. The air is also spoiled by the perspira-
tion of the body, and by the volatile oils 3
given out through the skin. ‘ in adult gives -'
off through the skin in twenty-four hours . ,
from 500 to 800 grammes of water. mixed .
with various excrements, ‘ poisonous if
breathed. '
6. A stearine candle gives off per hour '
0.4 cubit feet of carbonic acid, and -0.03
pormd of water.
’ 7. Carbonic oxide is a much more'danger-
ous gas than carbonic acid, and this obtains
entrance to our rooms in many ways—through
the cracks in stoves and defective stovepipes,
or when the carbonic acid of the air comes
in contact with a very hot stove and is con-
verted into a carbonic oxide. The dust of
the air may, on a hot stove, be burnt to prOa
duce it; or it may flow out from gas-pipes '
when the gas is not perfectly consumed.
8. Another form of air injury is the dust
or fungus growth which fills the air in damp
and warm places. We Call it mIasm' ‘ from a
want of a true knowledge of its character.
9. Accidental vapors are the crowning
source of air-poisoning. These are tobacco-
smoke, kitchen vapors, wash-room vapors
and the like. - ‘
10. When we beat our houses and close
them from outside air the heat turns the mix-
ture into the vile mass unfit for breathing.
The only remedy is ventilation. Now that
it is cold‘weather, and our rooms. are closed
from free currents of outside air, let us look
after the matter thoroughly and do our best
to prevent injury to ourselves from polluted
aim—Hem!!! of Health. » *
