EVERYDAY LIFE.
Mr.. Stewart usually breakiasted a
eight o'clock, his meal ordinarily con
sistng ofplain bread, bit of fish, al
egg, and some oatmeal porridge. Ther
he was driven down to his retail es
tablshment where he spent two ol
three hours, walking through every
part of it, asking the statesmen the
prices of goods in order 10 ascertain
whether they were up in their duties
and observing how affairs were carried
on. Then he went down in his car
riage to the wholesale store. There
he read his letters, and transacted bu'
siness until six o'clock. For many
years he was accustomed TO dine at
Delmonico's, on the opposite side OF
broadway, but latterly he dined at
home. Getting an interview with him
was very much like getting access to
the Prime Minister Of England. He
was to be seen only at the downtown
store, aud on the visitors entering,
the floor-walkcrs near the door would
first inquire that visitors business. II
he said that he wanted to see Mr..
Stewart, he was asked what he want
ed Of him, and If il was anything that
a subordinate could attend to, he was
turned over TO him. If he still insisted
upon seeing the great man himself, he
was allowed TO go as far as the foot of
the stairs, where another Cerberus was
in waiting, and unless he could be sat
isfied that it was worth while disturb
ing Mr.. Stewart, the visitor was turn
ed back Often message came down
which would enable the business to be
settled by simple yes or no. If not,
the visitor was allowed to 90 up the
stairs and wait again within sight of
the glazed enclosure whore Mr.. Stew
art sat, and in due time was summoned
into his presence. Though courteous
in manner, Mr.. Stewart wasted no
words, and anything like a bore was
summary dismissed. And in no other
way could he have got through with
the immense number Of calls that were
daily made upon him.
Mr.. Stewart was not greatly given
to hospitality, but he always enter
tanned his friends at dinner on Sunday
afternoon. Every one on his visiting

MR. srEwARrs GREAT oifrs'
Mr.. Stewart was in the true sense a
pbilanthropist AT the time OF the
great famine in Ireland he sent to his
suffering countrymen q ship-load of

istics of the man. First, he sought for
a ship to charter. A British vessel was
offered and refused. He wanted ship
of his own country-an American ship.
Such ship was found, new, in iine
order, with an American captain and
