/ A. I. STEWART EXTENDING HIS BUSINESS
How He WAS DOVE FORA New York
correspondent of the Chicago Republican
writes:
1t !, reported that Stewart, not satisfied
in his old age with his income of six mil.
lions year, is about to establish branches
of his wholesale and retail houses in nearly
all the leadiug cities the Union. Boston,
Philadelphia. Baltimore, Chicago, Cincin-
natl, and st. Louis have been chosen, | hp-
derstand, among other points by the Ameri.
can ClGsus as bases for further operations
in the East, South, and West. Those who
know Stewart say he is now more DESTROYS
OF making money, from the mere force Of
habit, than be was twenty years ago. He
is one of the busiest men in New York,
and finds his pleasure and his comfort in
the midst of his daily affairs hardly taking
time to enjoy his dinner or his luncheon.
1t must be very sad to be compelled to take
care of so much money, and sadder still to
be so deslrohs to make money.
A story is told of the great merchant
overreaching himself not long ago by at
tempting to control the market for a certain
kind ofprints. Having concluded to buy
them all up, not only here, but elsewhere,
he sent an agent to Boston for the purpose,
offering merchant there considerable of
an advance on the prevailing rate. The
figure was accepted, and the Bostonian
suspecting the truth of the case, and
the New York dealer might not
have raised his own figures at that time,
telegraphed to SIS business man, asking
what they were. The answer beng two
cents below the rate the Bostonian had re-
ceived, he promptly purchased of Stewart
half his stock, compelling him, through a
slight inattention to his own house, to buy
his own goods at an advance.
The long.purSed Gothamite, who prides
himself upon his shrewdness in driving
sharp bargains, was not a little chagrimed.
at this ridiculous blunder, and is reported
to have said it was. the first time in his life
that such loophole bad been left open.

the duties Of a country editor are multifari-
Gus as well as arduous !; he must read the
exchanges, write articles on every subject,
set type, correct proof, work the press, fold
and address the papers, run errands, saw

tons, listen to a thousand foolish reports,
get scolded with equanimity, and finally go
to bed after a days work, half the wages of
which he will lose through the dishonesty
of subscribers who never pay thsir debts.

pa At the farewell interview with the
Pope, on the eve of the withdrawal of the
French troops from Rome, Gen. Monte

the Emperor withdrew his troops, he did
not withdraw his support. ellis Majesty"
said Gen. Monticello, "leaves in the Eter-
nal City the protection Of France" His
Holiness addressed the French officers on
the occasion. A Rome correspondent of a
French paper gives the following as the
text of the address "On the eve of your
departure am here, my dear children, to
bid you farewell. Your flag left France
with the mission to uphold the rights of
the Holy See. To-day it is going back. l

About six years ago I was speaking to

inform the Emperor that st. Augustine,
Bishop of Hippo (Which now belongs to
the French Empire) terrified by the calami-
ties which he foresaw while the barbarians
were besieging the city, asked the Lord to
be permitted to die before witnessing them.
The representative said in reply to me,
"The barbarians will not enter But he

Catholic world. But fear the revolution.

mightiest power, God, gives me strength
and constancy. Go, with my blessing, and
my fatherly farewell. If you see your EN-
peror you will tell him that pray for his
health. 1t is said that his soul is not at
peace; pray for his soul. The French
nation is Christian. It's chief ought to be
Christian also. Prayers offered with con-

Singing +" Insects"

We think, with the Chicago Tri-
buae, that the country press, which
Mr.. GREELEY calls insects are
proving to him insects OF the hornet
and wasp description. They do not
forget the character of the great MUIR
derer, who. without the slightest man
Hesitation of mercy, starved ten
thousand Union prisoners to death,
upon whose bail bond Mr.. GREELEY
was so anxious to write his name.
They are willing to apply the saying
of Christ, Blessed are the
merciful, for they shall obtain
mercy" to the greatest criminal of
the nineteenth century. But Mr..
GREELEY proposes to improve on
Christ's teachings. His theory is,
=" Blessed are the cruel, for they shall
not only obtain mercy, but honor,
also" s..5o
The Cleveland Leader suggests that
the Union League, Of New York,
acted cowardly in its attempt to
church Z Mr.. GREELEY, and cannot
see why Mr. RAYMOND, of the Times,
should have been dep5sed from his
position as Chairman of the National
Republican Committee for partici-
pating in the Philadelphia Copper
johnson Convention, when Mr..
GREELEY, who was appointed in his
stead, is allowed to go bail for JEFF.
DAVIS. Upon this the Toledo Blade
remarks that there is no analogy be-
tween the two cases, and adds:
Raymond engineered the Philadelphia
Convention, and catered into a compact
with the enemies of the Republican party
for the purpose of breaking it down, that
upon its ruins another might be built, of
Greeley's sacrifice of himself, at the bid
ding of Davis counsel, was the outpour-
ing of his philanthropy, which. in his
simplicity of heart, he is very apt to waste
upon the enemies of humanity. fEstI IS 81
Another Of the insects thinks
GREELEY acted consistently in bail
ing JEFF. DAVIS, as he was an advo-
cate of secession at the outset of the
war, and clamored for a surrender to
the rebels after each serious reverse
sustained by the Potomac army.

The Crops.

On the second page of this morn
ings JOURNAL, we copy an article
from the New York Times on the
growing crops. That paper sums up
its information from all parts of the
country, to the effect that the pros
>pect Of good crops is excellent, and
that trade must soon feel the effects
of the prospective crop, and revive
and become more animated. The
Chicago Tribune speaks with like
confidence of the indications of good
crop. It says much larger breadth
of land has been sown in wheat this
year than usual, and there is little
doubt but that larger crop will be
harvested. This is so apparent that
the price of wheat is already de-
clining rapidly. No. 2 Spring wheat,
which sold in Chicago two weeks ago
at 50 So per bushel, can now be
bought at 50 1902 Is.
In our own neighborhood, the
wheat reports are all of an yencourag-
ing character. We regret to learn,
however, that corn is not doing so
well. The unusual wet weather for
the past two weeks has caused much
of it 70 rot in the ground, and also
damaged that which has sprouted.
In addition, it prevented many far
mers from planting as much as they
desired. We hope the weather for
the next two or three weeks will be
sufficiently favorable to enable the
farmers to replant where that is nee
essary, besides putting in the full
amount OF ground that they desire TO
cultivate. We can hardly realize the
effect Of a large and good crop, of
wheat and corn upon the financial in
