The Washington correspondent OF the Batl-
more Sun says at is understood that there
was quite lively discussion in the executive
session of the Senate this afternoon over the
nomination of Mr. H. H. Wells as y. S. At
torney, for the Eastern district of Virginia.
Mr.. Wells was nominated by the President to
succeed his (Wclps) father resigned the district
attorneyship short time since, in opposition
to the wishes of the republican Senator from
that State. 1t is said that in nominating Mr..
Wells, who was his fathers assistant. the Prcsi-
dent considered that he was following out the
civil service rules. The Judiciary committee
reported favorably on the nomination, but 1t is
alleged that the Senator aforesaid denounced
the nominee, declared that the President had
been misled, and that Wells was too young,
&c. Despite this, the Senate seemed to have
more confidence in the Presidents judgment
than in that of its own member, and confirmed
the appointment by large majority.

TOOMANY KlNDSOFPLANTS.

One of the most serious mistakes
which almost every one makes in Gull
tivating house plants, is in trying to
keep too great variety. Profession
al florists, as well as amateurs, fall
into the same error, and the results
are failures with a greater or less
number Of species. If the house is
kept warm enough to make a certain
species thrive, others are likely to fail
because the temperature is too high
for them, and mildew and rust follows.
An atmosphere in which Geraniums
and Heliotropes thrive is too warm
for Camelias, Heaths and Azaleas.
The beautiful Orchids are certainly
very tempting plants, but one needs a
house especially arranged for their
culture, and the same ia true with
many other orders, families and ge-
nera; and it is far better to confne
ourselves to few species and of these
select the best varieties growing there
to perfection than to undertake more
than we can accomplish. Ladies Of
ten complain Of certain plants falling
under the best care we can give, while
others succeed perfectly, which only
shows that different plants require
widely different treatment. Home
and Health.

On the second day out Gustav John

len Smith, another Of the crew, died
April 9, ]. J. Fay, steward, had
died at the British Hospital before

officers, and the majority of the
crew were Frustrated by the fever,
and after the death of the first mate,
Mrs. Clifford, the wife Of the cap
tain, took sole command, navigated
the vessel, and brought her safely to
New York. Above Cape Hatteras
the brig encountered a north east
gale of five days duration, which
split the sails into ribbons and car
ried several spars overheard, but the
woman captain was fully equal to
the emergency. Mrs. Clifford has
been at sea several years with her
husband and has made many of the
calculations during that time. She
has thorough mathematical educa-
ton and believes herself competent
to sail any craft ahoat. She is of
slender build, about % years old,
and is unassuming and ladylike in

ALEXANDER TURNKEY STEW
ART.

In the year 1927, the subject of
this sketch commenced the dry goods
business, in Broadway, New York,
nearly opposite his present Wholesale
store. In the three years, 1865-6-7,
this gentleman sold two hundred and
three million dollars worth of goods,
and his income is the largest of any
merchant in the world.
Carefully reared by a Quaker
grandfather,in Belfast, Ireland, Alex
ander received an excellent classical
education, which he used to good ad-
vantage, in teaching in New York,
after his arrival. Soon after, he en-
barked in the dry goods business, at
262 Broadway, with capital of less
than three thousand dollars.
From that time, there has been but
one word-Upward. Apartfrom his
rigorous devotion to principle, Mr..
Stewart owes much of his success to
great dellcacy Of touch. andtaste, and
Judgment in colors and textures, al
most feminine in sensibility. Add to
these qualities a masculine grasp of
events and an instantaneous percep-
ton of those shadows which are cast
by events, and you have all the ele-
ments Of the great merchant.
The operations Of the house of A.
|: Stewart & Co., are literally world
wide Mr.. VIM. Libby, in New
York, Mr.. Francis Warden, perma-
nently in Paris, and Mr.. G.. Fox, in
Manchester, England, comprise the
firm. 1t has branch houses in Paris,
Manchester, Glasgow, Belfast and

Mr.. Stewart is large holder Of
real estate, and among his many de-
signs is one of mu1lding model houses
for people of small means. He has
built an entire town, which now con
tains over two thousands inhabitants.
on Hampstead Plain, Long Island, fol
which purpose he purchased 5000
acres of land.

ATTEMPT OF AN EAGLE TO
CARRY OFF A CHILD.

The hudson Register gives the
following account Of a kidnapping ca
gle:
1--WE read in the primers of eagles
carrying off naughty children, and
the terrible fate to which they were
consigned; but by grown people this
has generally been regarded as a
fiction, invented to frighten bad lit
tie boys and girls. A case, howev-
er, occurred few days ago in. the
town of Copake, Columbia county,
n. Y. The facts are as follows
''The family Of Jacob Decker lives
near Upper Rhoda Lake, about two
miles west from Copake village. In
the family is an interesting daugh-
about three years ofage. Last Sun
day afternoon she stood prattling IN
the dooryard when her unusual mer-
riment attracted the attention Of the
mother. The latter went to the door
and was almost paralyized with fear
at discovering an enormous eagle
sailing around the child in graceful
eddies, each circuit bringing it near
er It's victim. Quickly comprehenaa
ding the situation, she rushed from
the door and clasped her darling in
her arms. While carrying the
child to the house, the eagle hotly
contested the right Of possession, ond
twice approached near enough to the
child to touch its fowiog hair with
its beak. But Mrs. Decker defend.
ed her child and succeeded in taking
it to the house uninjured.
THE next morning the winged
monster again make its appearance,
lowering closely around the house
for some time, and then perched IT.
self upon an adjacent tree. The
mother notified the neighbors, and a
son of Mr.. John D. Dinehart, aged
about nineteen years, took his rife,
and sent bullet through the head
of the bird. 1t proved to be splen-
hid specimen Of the American bald
eagle, measuring six feet and six
inches from tip to tip"
I he enterprise Of the Register in
obtaining the details Of this story sx-
cites thejealousy Of the Hudson Star,
which asserts that "the monster
was gilt tin eagle.

A FORTUNE WAITING FOR
SOME ONE.

About five years ago a youth, ap-
parently fifteen or sixteen years of
age, called at the publishing house of
John E. Potter & Co., in Philadel-
phia, and offered manuscript story
for publication. Mr.. Potter, the head
of the firm, who happened to be in
at the time, smiled at the idea of one
so youthful aspiring to appear in lit
erature as the author Of book but
finally, ct tho urgent re4nAet of the
boy, consented to keep the manuscript
a few days and look it over. When
he had done SO. he was convinced that
the story, while evincing lack of
polished education on the part of the
boyish author, possessed considerable
merit as an exciting novel, some of
the scenes being described with won
derful power; and, after consulting
with the other members of the honse,
decided to publish it.
When the youth called few days
afterward, he told him of his conclu-
sion, and it was agreed that the au-
thor should receive royalty Of ten
cents a copy on all sold. The story
was duly published in book form, I'M
der the title of "White Rocks" and
since that time 10000 copies have
been sold. But what is singular
about it is, that the youthful author
has not been seen or heard of since,
and there is now due him the sum of
$17, 900 as copyright on his story
