The Canton mail. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 18??-1882, 1876-05-20

Personally the late A. T. Stewart was
very unassuming man. He dressed
plainly and with good taste, and never
wore rings or diamonds. The only costly
article he carried about was a gold watch,
and this was not fastened to chain, but
to black silk cord. If he saw one of
his clerks displaying much jewelry, this
was considered sufficient cause by him to
establish inquiry into the habits of the
man, the amount of his salary, and his
mode of living. If his salary and cir
cumstances did not warrant such outlay
Mr.. Stewart would have watch set on
his actions, and the result in many cases
proved that the clerk was dishonest.
Many instances could be recounted in
which he discovered dishonesty in his
clerks by the display of jewelry on their
part. He was generally lenient with
erring employees, and never prosecuted
them if there. were any extenuating cir
cumstances. His observation was re-
markedly keen,- aud he was quick to
observe the slightest irIegularity in the
arrangement of the different der artments
of the store, or any slovenliness in tie
dress of the clerks. If a clerk, on the
other hand, was dressed too extravagant-
" Mr.. Stewart often took occasion to
offer a gentle rebuke. As an instance OF
his distaste for outward display, it may
bc mentioned that he was walking
through his retail store one day when a
massive gold chain and locket in the but
tonhole of one of his clerks attracted his

THE BLACK HILLS COUNTRY.

The overwhelming weight of evidence,
says an exchange, is against the Black
Hills bling a land of Havilah, the gold
whereof is good. There is gold there,
but the getting of that gold is attended
with more labor and expense than it is
worth, and fraud and exaggeration char
acterize all the reports affecting the
Hills, that have been put in circulation
by the merchants, tavern keepers and
transportation companies of the frontier
towns, notably of Cheyenne. Colonel
c. C. Carpenter, who recently led an
expedition one hundred and fifty
strong from St. Louis, and found this
following increased to four hundred at
Omaha by accessions from Chicago and
Kansas, has withdrawn from the enter
prise and given gloomy account of his
experience. He reports extortion every
where, from the railroad conductors who
tried to charge passengers fifty cents
extra for carrying rifles, to the freighters
at Cheyenne, who, instead of carrying
goods and baggage to the Hills for three
cents pound, as they had contracted to
do, charged eight. 1t may be amiss to
add that Mr. Edwin A. Curley, who was
sent to this country by the London
Field as special commissioner ana
justified its opinion of his fitness by his
full, practical and just volume OF Ne
braska, rs now in the Hills and will Soon
report upon the subject. Whatever he
may say will be entitled to commence
and respect, which is more than can De
said of the sensational publications In
spired by the greed of gain.

SOME FIMOUS BEAUTIES OF THE
OLDEN TIMES.

Seventy years ago, one of the bellies at
an entertainment given here at the then
unfinished White House, was Miss Eliza
beth Patterson, whose maiden charms
Stuart transferred to canvas in full face,
half face, and profile. She was of that
rare type of Baltimore beauty exempli-
fed at the British court by the three
Misses Cation granddaughter of Charles
Carroll, of Carrollton), who became the
Marchioness of Wellesley, the Duchess
of Leeds, and Lady Stafford, and judging
from the descriptions of her loveliness,
it was not strange that she captivated
Jerome Bonaparte, brother of the first
emperor Then ensued a social drama,
in which the bridegroom played the part
of royal sneak, the emperor acted as an
imperial snob, while the pope came in as
the heavy father to tear asunder the
young lovers and give his benediction to
the union of the bridegroom to royal
bride, leaving his Baltimore beauty des-
oIate. Yet she still lives. though l see
by the Baltimore papers that her health
is not good.
Another lady who was belle in her
younger days, Mrs. ex-President Tyler,
is guest at the Georgetown convent,
where she has daughter at school. Mr..
Tyler's first wife was Miss Letitia Christ
ian, daughter of Robert Christian, of
Virginia. He married in 1918, and she
