A. T. Stewards Wealth.

Harper's Weekly says: It is re-
ported that before sailing for Europe
few days since, Mr.. A. T. Stewart
made new viii, in which it was
thought proper to make schedule
and valuation of his real and person
al estate, and that to the surprise Of
himself and those engaged in the de-
tails it was found that he was worth
about S1OO,OO0,OOO. That Mr.. Stew
art will prove himself good steward
of this vast fortune can scarcely be
doubted. Already he has commenc-
ed administering on his own estate
by the erection OF the stately "Work-
ing-women's Home, in Fourth aven-
ue, and it is scarcely probable that
he will content himself with that
work of benevolence. We were told
few days ago by an experienced
railway superintendent, that the road
bed, ties, steel rails, etc, of Mr.. Stew
arts railway to Hampstead were by
far the best ofany railway in America.

Successful Editors.

An English writer says: ga good editor,
or competent newspaper conductor, is like
a general or poet, born, but not made. Ex-
ercise and experience give facility, but the
qualification is innate, or it is never mani
tested. On the London daily papers all the
great historians, novelists, poets, writers of
travels, and essayists, have been tried and
nearly every one has failed. 4 can, said
the late editor of the London Times, find
any number of men of genius to write for
me, but very seldom one man of common
sense. Nearly all successful editors are of
this description. A good editor seldom
writes much for his paper he reads,
judges, selects, dictates, alters and CON-
bines, and to do all this well he has but lit
tie time for composition. To write for a
paper is one thing, to edit a paper is an
other"

nnr New Tertiary.

The territory which has just been ceded
to the United States by the Wahpeton and
Sisseton Sioux and Cat Heads is a tract
bounded on the east by the Red River, and
extending from line near Lac Traverse to
within few miles of Devils Lake, an area
of $50 miles long and 100 miles wide-that
is, $4,000 square miles, or nearly 1000, 900
acres. On the 2Oth of September last the
Commissioners appointed to arrange terms
of agreement with the Indians came to an
understanding with them, and the agree
ment having been submitted to the Indian
Department was approved and submitted
to Congress, which, on February IA, appro-
priated $4,000 for the purchase of the
land, provided certain amendments should
be acceded 10 by the Indians. This again
made it necessary to refer the matter to the
Commission, which on the I'd of last month
succeeded in making satisfactory arrange
ments with the Indians on the Lac Traverse
Reservation, and with the Devils Lake In
dams on the 18th. Eighty thousand dollars
are to be paid yearly to the Indians for ten
years, but not in the old way, for the sum
will be invested in stock, agricultural i'm
plements, clothing, supplies, etc., and pay
able only when it is earned, the object be-
ing TO civilize and make them self-support-
ing. The system, however, is a rather intri-
cate one, and may possibly give rise to
abuses like those of which the Indians have
long complained [Vinton Record.

An Amusing Experiment.

The gas of our cities can be lighted by
frictional electricity, excited by lady's
muff. Thus: Place four tumblers, up
side down, upon the floor or carpet, and
upon these lay board or other substance
to stand upon, within reach of the burner.
Upon this insulated board let a person
stand, and q second person take the muff
and rub it a number OF times down the
back of the coat of the first, by which he OF
she Cf it be lady with woolen shawl on
will become charged with electricity sufi-
cient to light the gas with the tip of the
finger, as effectually as if dofe with an
ignited match. To perform the experiment
well requires three persons, one to turn Oh
and off the gas, for if it is done by the per
son insulated and charged he will not only
receive a shock, but discharge the electrici
ty before applying it to the gas. A numbe
of persons can participate in the amuse
ment at the same time, by insulating them
selves and joining hands. Let the friction
of the muff be applied to the person farthes
from the burner, until all become charged
and the person at the other extreme cal
light the gas, all feeling a sensible shock a

Maids and NIfstresses.

1G snouId be PLAIN enough that
examples are as much to servants as
to children; since in manners and
social training servants are as chill
dren. The peasant girl reared in an
Irish cabin or German cottage can
hardly be expected to be a model OF
politeness or of personal neatness.
1t is quite possible, however, to teach
her by example alone. If the mis-
tress be courteous to every member
of her family, and they, in turn, to
her, the maid soon feels the atmos-
phere of good-breeding, and uncon-
sciously becomes amiable and respect
full. But let the mistress speak sharp
ly to her husband, or scold the chill
dren in public, or let the master
constantly find fault in the presence
of the servant, and she will shortly
discover that courtesy is not one
of the essentials of the establishment,
and will, most likely, add black looks
and uncivil words to the general
disharmony. Servants being imita-
tive, there is more reason that the
conduct of the employers be worthy
of imitation. If the mistress of the
house be careful of her dress, her
speech, her daily habits, her hand
maid will, in all probability, grow
more careful of her own. But the
woman who comes to her breakfast
table with disheveled hair and rump-
led gown, has no right to find fault
with the maid for attending the
door-bell in a dirty calico and sloven-
ly shoes Like mistress like maid,
as well as like master like man. I'm
less a good example be set, there is
no cause to complain Of servants for
following bad one. As a rule,
they are ready to learn, though they
may be dull and slow of comprehen-
sion. They would rather improve
their condition than degrade it
They would rather be ladies than
servants. Their ignorance makes
them mistake the false for the true,
the bad for the good. If every mis-
tress would take pains to set a fair
example to her maids, and aid them,
now and then, by timely and delicate
hints, she would soon have servants
who would be, in fact, the help they
are in name.-["Home and Society,

dCony,O Thursday, septmbe4 No
Aliens Opposition TO the War.

70 Ihe following were some of the
Hon. William Aliens war sentiments,
as expressed in his speech at HamiI-
ton, Ohio, September 10, 1868:
SIS Lincoln has shed enough blood to
float the Great Eastern, and how
much nearer the end does he get7
'Hls cry is still for blood. The ad-
tninistration stands on-tip toe every
day, with its eyes distended, and its
arms stretched forth, calling on the
American people for more blood and
more money. And their preachers
those Chicago priests that went to
Detroit to get Lincoln to bite the
forbidden fruit, to commit the first
act, the initial sin, by the publication
OF an act emancipating the slaves.
These priests-I would not like to
have met these fellows; they went
down canting and whining, their
mouths all the way watering for
the blood of the people. Every one
of them thought that God had made
it his special business to go and beg
Lincoln to commence the business of
numbering the American people.
One of the two things must happen.
If these aboltionists succeed, they
can only do so by destroying the
State Governments of the South and
thereby destroy in fact the whole
State Government of the North; they
can only succeed by establishing des-
potism, garrisoning the whole of the
South, seven or eight hundred thous-
and strong, the cost, nay, the inter
est of which would take the best
farms from under your feet. And
this would not be the greatest evil
should they succeed. Here are four
millions of negroes; they have hither-
to been kept on that side of the line,
merely because they couldn't come
this side of it. If the abolition party
succeeds, all we have to do Will be to
make our preparations to go where
breadstuffs are cheap, and go from
the region toward which the negro
gravitates. These negroes will come
focking over our river by hundred
thousands. Now what do you want
with them? They will occupy the
places left vacant by the murdered
white men; men who have been
murdered in order that these negroes
should get chance of settling here.
They commence bringing in the
niger to push off the Irishman and
Dutchlnan, not because they are
altogether angry with those people
for voting the Democratic ticket,
though that is a great reason; but ]
will tell you, my friends, if this aboli-
ton party succeeds in breaking up
our government, in breaking up the
State governments, tramplng on the
Constitution, the next thing they will
do will be to inaugurate a religious
war. They will appeal to the relig-
ious prejudices of the country; they
will band the disciples of Knox and
Wesley against the followers of the
head of the Catholic Church; they
will say, we have succeeded in send
ing our legions to emancipate the
negroes of the South when we had nc
right; we sent our army to Syria tc
fight for the Holy Land; now let
Peter the Hermit make another
crusade against the Church of Rome

Select Miscellany.
A HOLIDAY.
BY Z. d. RICE.

BY Z. d. RICE.
One day we left our cares behind,
And trimmed our sails at early morn;
And by the willing western wind 2
Far DER the sea were borne.
We left behind the city's din;
We found a world new-made from night;
At every sense there entered in
Some subtle, fresh delight.
The west wind rocked us as we lay
Within the boat, and idly scanned
The dim horizon far away -r
For some fair unknown land.
And on and on we drifsed thus,
Not caring whittier we might roam;
For all the world, that day, to us
Was Paradise, was home.
And as we sailed, sweet surprise
Of comfort in the present, grew;
We saw old things with clearer eyes,
We dreaded less the new.
The past and future seemed to blend;
Rememblanc missed her shadow, grief;
Anticipation was a friend, ... I'D.
And hope became belief.
The strangeness vanished out of life;
Affection dropped its stern disguise;
And suffering, WEAKNESS and strife
Were changed before our eyes.
So, but more clear, from hills of God,
Our life on earth one day shall show;
And the dim path that here we trod
With purest light shall glow.
Too quickly sped the hours away;
The evening brought us home again;
And after that brief holiday
Came toll, and care, and pain.
Yet like peaceful dream, that long
viii steal into the waking thought,
Or like a well-remsmbered song,
That happy tears has brought,
That bright, brief summer holiday,
The willing wind, the sea, the sky,
Gave gifts no winter takes away, rH
And hopes that cannot die.
