Stewards BusireSs Tact.

A Saratoga letter to the indianapolis
Journal has the following incident char
acterlstlc'of the great dry goods prince :
"A. L. Stewart has chosen as the toy to
entertain his declining years the Grand
Union Hotel, and has paid up to date
over 81, 100000 for the plaything. His
determination is to eclipse every other
house. He has. become childish III the
JOY he has in his new house. Under
meath the hotel he has rented large
number OF stores, but has retained the
two largest and best, and opened a
branch of his New York house. just
for fun, you know. And to get the fun
out of them he goes himself behind the
counter and sells six-penny items to any
conner, and makes the sale of pair of
socks as great matter as if he were
transferring a realty worth million. Last
week gentleman customer asked for
this very article of apparel, socks. He
wanted colored socks, (which are the only
allowable leg-gear for those who go on
style. Mr.. Stewart tried to suit him,
but failed. Then Mr.. S. said, "Wliat
is the exact shade you would have p
There pointing to piece of silk
g is the thing precisely" " You shall
have them tomorrow night" "But
how-where will you obtain theml p
+" L will go down to New York to-mor-
row, and bring them myself" The
customer laughed, and promised to re-
turn the following evening, but not with
the idea that the great merchant and
man whose assets are fifty millions,
would recollect the promise of pair of
socks. The evening came, and SO did
the customer, and there were the stock
ings. Mr.. Stewart had with his own
hand selected and brought the little
package from his great store in Broad
way. More than two hundred miles of
travel to meet the want of a pair of
stockings This little incident is to the
life of the man what an index page is to
a book.

To Ascertain the Weight of Cattle.

The following rules are given by which
the weight of cattle can be ascertained
approximately by measurements: Take
the length of the back from the curve of
the tail to the fore-end of the shoulder
blade, and the girth around the breast
just behind the forelegs. These dimen-
siors must be taken i'll inches. Multiply
the girth by the length, and divide by
IA. If the girth is less than three feet,
multiply by eleven; if between three
and five feet, multiply by sixteen; if be-
tween five and seven feet, multiply by
twenty-three; if between seven and nine,
multiply by thirty-one. If the animal is
very lean, one-twentieth must be de
ducted-and if very fat one twentieth
must be added. Another rule is: Take
all dimensions as before, in feet, and
then multiply the square of the girth by
the length, and that product by 1886.
The result will be pounds. If you de-
sire TO know what an animal will dress,
multiply the live weight by the decimal
sos; the product approximates to the
actual net weight, very closely.

his pocketbook; "your uncle's letter

"Will you allow me to see the letter,

Thorne jerked it out of the compart-
ment where it lay, and tossed it angrily
toward Lacy. He opened it, and in
spite of his annoyance and modification
burst into laughter at the sight OF Min
MES dainty handwriting.

claimed Thorne.

"As you please, my lad," said the
old gentleman, chuckling. "Tll give
my consent, If only to atone for my
villainous treatment of you little while
ago"
He resumed his gardening operations,
occasionally pausing to laugh all to him
self, while cousin Jack sprang up the
path to seek Mary.
They were absent long time-in fact
as old Jabez thought, an unreasonably
long time, before he discerned through
the dense foliage of the acacia hedges
their advancing forms, Mr. Lacy looking
exceedingly proud and self-satistied, and
Mary leaning on his arm, with herprettI

RalstOn's MOdeSty.

What is said about Ralston's ostenta-
ton is exaggerated. He had the animal
passions of Fisk, but the public was not
RECALLED with the disclosure. He had no
love of uniforms, militia, or the appear
ance of his name i'll print. The San
Francisco Chronicle sent reporter
down to Belmont to describe one of his
dinner parties, and was set outside the
house. He had an adherence OF news
paper publicity, and particularly eau
toned me, and sent my friends to en-
treat me, not to make my enjoyment at
his place a matter of newspaper report.
He said to me: "This is banking con-
Germ, and there are gentlemen in it older
and ADLER than am, who are entitled to
the respect of being mentioned. / don't
want iealousies to arise in the bank" At
the same time he stayed in the city after
banking hours to explain to me how the
bank originated, and what its province
was.- Gath"

Mortality by Preventable Disease.

Self-preservation is the first law of our
nature; but it is law which we igno-
rantly and constantly disregard in laying
our life and health at the mercy of the
foul conditions of life prevailing among
our neighbors.
We roll up our eyes and stand aghast
when contemplating the horrors of war;
yet the mortality OF war is trifiing as
compared with the mortality of prevent
able disease. England, in twenty-five
years of continuous war, lost 70, 700
lives; in one year of cholera she los:
LA, 800 lives.
We look idly on and see our popula-
ton decimated by an infant mortality so
great that its like among calves and colts
would appal the farmer, and set the whole
community energetically at work to dis
cover remedy.-Atldntic Monthy.

Selecting q Stove.

The Housekeepcr gives its readers
some advice with reference to the selec-
ton of stoves. 1t urges them to avoid
those with too much ornamentation, es-
pecially that i'll relief, as they are great
deal more difficult to keep clean and
those, also, which have complicated
structures, with a great variety of damp
ers and other apparatus, such as are
likely to get out of order easily, and are
beyond the comprehension of the aver
age servant-girl. An expert in the man.
agement of stoves says: Never open
the upper draft in a stove, in order to
check the fire, as it allows the gas to es-
cape into the room but always use the
lower draft for that purpose. The argu-
ments which have been made against the
use of stoves, on the ground that the air
of our apartments is burned by coming
in contact with the heated stove is refuted
by some authorities, except in cases
where the stove is red hot. They fur
Their say that it is not necessary or desir-
able TO have moisture in our rooms:
first, because the air out of doors is dry
from the cold, and it is but natural that
the air within doors should be of the
same character; second, because if the
air i'll the room is kept moist by means
of evaporated water, the moisture has
no means of escape, and is inevitably de-
posted upon the walls and other parts of
the room, with the result of causing
dampness. These views are worth
noting, for they differ from the received
opinion.

The wife of his bosom puts her arms
around his neck and rubs her downy

A ACoLoRED BURGLAR ARRESTED.
He Makes a Good Haul in Alexandria, v

Tuesday night, during the prevalence Of the
heavy rain-shower, pswnbroker's establishment
on King street, Alexandria, was entered and
robbed of silver watches, pistols, boots, pants,
coats underclothing, hats, and other articles, in
all valued at about s4o0. Early yesterday morn
ing the detective corps in this city were made
Quaintsd with the fact and on the alert TO appre-
bend the guilty parties. Detectives McElfresh
and Sargent obtained information that suspi-
cions character was at the Freedmsn's Village,
near Arlington, Va, and from the description
given believed It was the man wanted, and imme-
diately proceeded to that place. On their arrival
they found that Constables Bates and Gordon
had taken into custody q colored man on the
charge Of carrying concealed weapons. The on
GERS Instituted q search, and were successful In
finding all the articles stolen from the Alexandra
store the night before. They produced warrant
for the arrest Of the man, whom they recognized
IS Thomas Leggins, who is charged with r0bbing
the residence Of s. Goldstein on the 4th of this
month Of q quantity Of silverware and linen, val
ued at $500 (Which has been nearly all recovered
and he was turned over to them and brought to
the city.
The accused Is o sullsn, desperate-looking ne.
gro, and has done considerable of this sort Of
business and been very successful. The detect
ives have done this community and the adjacent
country great service in securing him. His guilt
is positive, and It is to be hoped that his conviction
will be equally as certain.
