Superstition of Mr.. Stewart.

tErom the New orh Herald
Perhaps the most singular charac-
teristic of Mr.. Stewart is his alleged
superstition. He is said to ignore to
Il great extent the business tact, abll-
ity and foresight which were un-
doubtedly carVers of his yastfortune,
and to attribute his success in life
solely to luck. And this idea IL the
cause of numerous ludicrous occur
rences in his career. When he Kept
his store on Broadway, betweenMur-
ray and Warren streets, there sat on
the sidewalk before ii, on an orange
box, an old woman, whose ostensihle
occupation was the selling of apples.
This business was, however, merely
a pretense, the main object being
beggary. As years rolled on, Mr..
Stewart became impressed with the
idea that the old dame was his guar
dian angel of good luck, and this i'm
precision took such a firm hold upon
liis mind, that wi,en he removed To
Chambers street, he in I.erSOn, took
up tlie old woman'S box, and renloN-
s.d her to the front of his new estab-
lishmeut In further illustration OF
Mr.. Strwart's faith in the Irish ira
ditional bel, in lucky" aud "un-
lucky persons, IL may De mention
ell that after the completion of the
ST. Nicholas Hotel III this city, an
undertaking in whichhe WAS largely
Interested, and when the building
Was Just about to be opened for the
reception of guests, the millionaire,
standing in the drawing-rooni, elacu-
lated. at is now finished; hope

ple.n
y gentleman present, who had
heard of Mr.. Stewards care for the
aged apple vender, remarked, - pre-
sumo. sir, you do not in reality care
about lucky and uniucky persons; Ia
which he Immediately replied, IN

AN INFANT CITY,

One of the most noted examples OF
rapid'growth in recent times, is furn-
ished in the recent case of the infant
city of Cheyenne, Wyoming Terri
tory. On the 4th of July, 1867, it
consisted of a single house. Now it
boasts of population of 1000. 1t
has six boot and shoe stores, five
drug stores, eight dry goods stores,
three clothing stores, five wholesale
groceries, three hardware and cut
lery stGres, four stationery and Yam
kee notion firms six wholesale liquor
dealers, and four tobacco and cigar
stores, besides IT, elve other firms en-
gagged in various branches of busi-
ness. There are four hotels, eight
lawyers, ana seven Physicians in
the place. Four papers, three daily
and one weekly, and published in
Cheyenne. The Union Pacific rail-
road passes through it, and four
lines of telegraph radiate from it, 1t
contains one very fine church Cath
Ollie, and three or four denominations
are about TO erect houses of worship.
Formerly, when the Union Pacific
railroad had its terminus there, the
town was overrun with disreputable
women, 10 the number of five hund-
red or more but a large proportion
of them have followed the road to
its next terminus The youthful
city supports d large number of
gambling hells, several dance-hou-
ses, museum and theatre, all in
full blast. The Union Pacific COM
pany are building machine shops
there, which, when completed, will
employ some 5000 hands. The
miners, farmers, and
stoekmen of Idaho, Utah, Montana,
Aepasia, nakota ana Oregon, buy
the bulk OF their goods al Cheyenne

United States Securities Going

Anna Boleyn as Bride and Prisoner,

From Hepworth Dixon's new book
entitled Her Majesty's Tower, "just
published by the Harpers, we take
the following:
ut is London in the reign of Bluff
King Hal-the husband of two fair
wives. The river is alive with boats:
the air is white with smoke; the sun
overhead is burning with golden
May. Thousands on thousands of
spectators dot the banks for to-day
bride is coming home to the King,
the beauty of whose face sets old
mems fancies and young mems eyes
agog. On the wharf, near the
Queens stair, stands a burly figure;
tall beyond common men dressed in
dOdblet of gold and crimson, a cap
of plume, shoes with rOsettes and
diamonds, hanger by his side, u
George upon his breast. It is the
awaiting the arrival of a barge, in
the midst of blaring trumpets and
exploding sakers.
A procession sweeps along; steal
ing up from Greenwich, with plash-
ing oars and merry strains; fifty
great boats, with host of wherries
on their TANKS vessel firing guns
In front, and long arrear ofcraft be-
hind.
From the first barge lands the
Lord Mayor from the second trips
the bride from the rest stream out the
picturesque companies. Cannons
roar, and bells fling out welcome to
the Queen for this is not simply a
great day in the story of one lovely
woman, but great day in the story
OF English life. Now is the morning
time of u new era, for on tits bright
May
1.-The gospel first shines from Eoieyn's
eyes
and men go mad with hope of things
which are yet to come.
1.-The King catches that fair young
| bride in his arms, kisses her soft
check and bears her iii, through the
Ryeward Tower.
1.-The picture fades from view, and
presently reappears. Is it the same?
The Queen-the stair-the crowd oil
| men-all these are here. Yet the
| picture is not the same. No burly
Henry stands by the stair; no guns
disturb the sky; no blast of trumpets
greets the royal barge; no train o1
aldermen and masters waits upon
the Queen. The lovely face looks
older by dozen years yet scarcely
three have passed since that faiI
form was clasped in theKing's arms,
kissed and carried by the bridge
This time she is n prisoner, charged
with having done such things as pen
| cannot write; things which would
| be treason, not to her lord only, bet
| to her womanhood, and to the King
of Kings.
"When she alights on the Queen
| stair she turns tOSir William Kings
| ton, Constable of theTower, and asks,
Must l go into n dungeon p No
madam, Says the Constable, you will
| lie in the same room you occupied

is too good for me- she cries ; and
then weeps for a long time, lying OF
| the cold stones, with all the people
standing by in tears. She begs tc

room, that she may pray with pure
heart saying she is free from sin
and she Is, and always has been the
