A. T. Stewards City.

The New York correspondent of the
Boston Journal writes: Stewart is
building np Garden City on a system
that will require ten years to complete
it. He has drawn legal instrument
that requires an expenditure of 81, ,00O,-
600 year whether he lives or dies. He
won't sell any property ON the place.
He leases the houses at low rent, and
gives all tenants pass over his road for
six months. He owns the railroad from
New York to his place, and has just COM
pleted arrangements for lightning
train, running from Hunters Point to
Garden City twice day in twenty min
utes. He has built twenty miles Of ele-
giant roadway. His hotel is handsome
brick edifce, open the year round and
run at his expense. The stables are
blocks away and are connected with the
office by an underground telegraph.
Stewart is changing his dwellings from
wood to brick, and has erected brick
yard on his own place to furnish the
supply. The millionaire owner of Gar
den City can manage everything but
religion. He would put up costly
church If the people were agreed. Stew
art is churchman, and he would be
glad 70 see an elegant Episcopal church,
and rectory. with the appointments all
complete. He can keep out dissenters
for the present, because he will sell no
land; but the moment there is O chance
little chapels will arise and the various
seots be represented.

Fashion Notes.

A very elegant overskirt can be
arranged by any lady having black lace
shawl, thus Line the shawl with fine
white organdie muslin, edged with a
knife plating of the same. A garland
OF flowers may be placed dropping In the
front, caught up at the side, entwined
in the loopings of the back, and trailing
down the skirt.
Deep apron-fronts, with widely vary
ing backs, are very stylish for heavy
fabrics. One such design has back of
cross-wise puffs, completed by snowy
loops of double silk. Side platings of
silk, four inches deep, with q braid trim
ming above, supply the garniture.
The newest demi-train skirt is the
"Lucerna. This is made with the
overskirt fastened upon it, thereby
saving the trouble, and oftentimes much
annoyance, in looping and arranging an
overdress. 1t is exceedingly graceful
when made of cashmere and silk, not
withstanding it can be made in all dress
materials.
The plainest, yet a superb dress, is of
heavy aswhite satin ell train. Corsage
was finished with point de Alencon. A
oSSAtA oNSiui COS VI SlClIc hoSo ID SulDIOlu-
cred with straw braid and gold and sill
YER Marguerites. This dress will soon
be displayed at wedding reception by
the brides sister. For the same occa-
sion, dress of white silk, trimmed with
spirals of crepe isse and ivy leaves,
with pansies, is being finished.
Handsome passementeries in fern leaf
designs are used in trimming velvets, in
addition to heavy silk fringe.
Fancy lace in two new styles is intro
duced for trimmings upon full dress
toilets. The black lace, in the piece, is
embroidered with bright yellow straw,
and the other is Spanish blonde,
wrought here and there with silver.
Both are effective.
Something entirelynewin handkerchiefs
are in fine linen, with hemstitched
lace work. They are very handsome,
but expensive. Those with border
less than an inch in width are four dol
lars each.
The latest novelty in millinery is the
sealskin bonnet in the Eugene, and one
or two other shapes. These have no
trimming except small tuft of ostrich
tips, matching the seal in color. They
are very rich looking and lady-ike,
while they form an admirable completion
to the sealskiD set.
Dark face trimming for light felt hats
is decidedly in favor, as in most cases it
is more becoming to the wearer.

No Presents.

There are two residents of Detroit
who won't get any Santa Claus gifts in
their stockings. They live on Adams
avenue, husband and wife. She had the
front steps washed the other night while
he was down town, and when he returned
home and rushed for the door in his
usual vigorous style he rushed on his
head. AS he was falling around his wife
opened the door and inquired:
=" What made you fall down, Peter Z"
He pitched against the door in his
efforts to stand up, and answered
"Dont you know anything, you
numbhead you ?"
What is it-ice2" she asked.
You don't suppose I'd fall down on
sand, do you 2" he shouted. CT was
going to put something in your stocking
but now wont I"
"Well, keep your brass jewelry then"
she spunkily replied.
"And keep your old calico dressing
gowns"
1t is sad to see folks living this way.

Thoughts for Saturday Night.

If man be only true to himself it will
be very difficult for others to overreach
him.
The most dangerous of all fattery is
the very common kind that we bestow
upon ourselves.
Although love is blind, it can't be
fettered it has enslaved thousands, but
won't be enslaved itself.
Virtue and vice are 80 adroitly mingled
in some constitutions that the man him
self can't tell which is which.
Don't be discouraged if your children
don't prove to be young miracles !;
plants of the slowest growth bear fruit
the latest.
Honesty and happiness seem to be
alike in this particular-those who have
the most of either seem to make the least
fuss about it.
Virtue seems to thrive the best on poor
soil where the ground is very rich, if it
amt well hoed, there is sure to be two
weeds to one blade of corn.
1t is often hard to distinguish between
praise and fattery; the one may be
honest, the other never is. Honest
praise will strengthen any man, but
fattery will weaken anything except a
mule.
What persons are by starts they are by
nature. You sec them, at such times,
off their guard. Habit may restrain
vice, and virtue may be obscured by
passion, but intervals best discover the
man.
You cannot live without exerting in
fuence. The doors of your soul are
open on others, and theirs on you. You
inhabit house which is well nigh trans
parent and what yeu are within you
are ever showing yourself TO be without.

Health of Towns.

In paper read before the Cologne
engineers association attention has been
drawn to the fact that in towns like
Glasgow, Brussels, etc., situated in
billy districts, the best end of town in
usually on higher ground than the
poorer quarters, and yet that poisoning
from sewer gas may, under certain con-
ditions, affect the former and not the
latter. The chief of these conditions
will be the weight of the atmosphere.
When the barometer sinks, the water
seals in the closets of the high-lying end
of the town become ineffective, and sew
age gas thus finds its way in. The only
plan to insure safety is to ventilate the
sewer by pipe leading to at least the
height Of the roof of the house.

An Incident Of the Late War.

AN old man was the story teller. de
was blacksmith in one of our New
England villages. He SGT down on the
only chair in the little dingy shop where
he had hammered for more than fifty
years, and offered me seat on the end
of rude bench. He wiped it carefully
with his apron, and told me to ba
"comt'ble. accepted the hospitality.
He took pictu1e from his pocket.
Wa-al, 1 s'pose you Boston folks
enjoyed the Centennial, an I raytner
guess them Southern feii.rs did. Now,
thar's that pictur. I've got two boys !;
one out in Colorady, and t'other's down
in Tennessee. Both on 'em fit, but I
tell ye, sir, they didn't fight together.
That's where it hurt me. But I'll tell
ye suthing that didn't hurt, an wish
my Tennessee boyd been here when
the Centennial was a celebrating, He
was lootenant, my boy was, an one
take care of-some Northern boys that
I'D died afore they'd whimpered.
An they told him to march them off
somewhere-I don't know where, but it
was long way off to the rear, fifty or a
hundred mile or so. An my boy gave
his men FASHIONS before they started.
He gave each one on 'em an ear O. raw
corn; an he gave each O. the prisoners
the same thing. That's all they had
then, an they all began to eat it. An
pretty soon they got done, an my boy
he saw one prisoners ear O. corn on the
ground, an he went up to him, an he
said, sez he: why don't you eat =
An the gritty feller sed, sez he 4
can't ; both my arms are broken An
I tell ye, sir, my boy took that ere poor
feller, an walked him off to the surgeon
an had him fixed up, an he sent man
for clean ear O corn, and he fed him
himself. And bimeby they was already
to go;
An now I tell ye, cir, I'm going to
tell ye the other part. An it jest made
me ten years younger the day seed it.
You know when the war was over my
boy come home. We writ him letter,
an he trotted right along, like the old
prodigal. An one day he was q setting
on that seat whar you're a setting now,
an man come in from way up, in
Hampshire. Sumthing was wrong about
tho waggin an he was talking, when,
all Of q suddint, he stops and he looks at
my boy like all almighty. An then he
sez, sez ne to my boy: you don't know
meT An my boy sez, sez he: mo, I
don't An he sez, sez he: DO you
remember once you had prisoner down
thar in Tennessee, an you took good
care of him, and fed him, cause both of
his arms was broken9' An my boy sez,
sez he {: Yes, remember An t'other
seq: well, I'm that man, an should a
known you if I hadn't seen you till
Judgment Day. An I tell ye, sir, he
put his arms right around my boy, an
kissed him right afore my eyes. An I
tell ye, sir, we didn't let him go off that
day, we didn't; an tell ye, sir, I wish
my boy could a'been here at the Gen.
tennial, cause that's the kind of boy
he was, sir, if he did fight on the wrong
side"

POPPING THE QUESTION.

A Row Anecdotes Relating how IL Is Done.
An English review has anarticle which
it calls Proposals." meaning pro-
posals for marriage. Some of the vari-
GUS methods of popping the ques-
tion" are very good. AS an instance of
the serious method is the following:
An Irish girl. who was very anxious
that her scatterbrained brother should
not be refused by the demure young
Englishwoman with whom he had fallen
desperately in love, implored him to try
to propose with the seriousness becom-
ing the occasion. He vowed solemnly
that he would behave as if he were act
ing as chief mourner at his fathers
funeral. The demure young lady, in
imitation of many of her rcountrywomen,
graciously accepted her wild Irish
lover. She, however, confided to her
bosom-friend that Edmund had pro.
posed in rather an odd way. He had
taken her after church to see tho family
vault, and had there, in sepulchral
voice, asked her if she would like to lay
her bones beside his bones. This he
evidently thought was a proper way to
fulfill the promise made to his sister of
treating the matter with becoming seri-
BUSINESS.
When a man says to girl, with whom
he has waltzed several times, that, if
ever he becomes a Benedict, he hopes
his wife will exactly resemble her and
dress precisely as she does, if the girl
answers "You must ask papa" there
may reasonably be difference of opin-
ion as to whether the pretty speech can
be twisted into a proposal or not.
When, however, shy man, having got
his mother to plead his cause, says to
the beloved one, with tremulous
grasp: "Won't you do the thing my
mother asked youa" there is no doubt
that, to all intents and proposes, he has
asked her to be his wife. More than
one proposal has been made by under
scoring the lines in marriage-service I:
"Wilt thou have this man to be thy
welded husbanda" and passing the book
and pencil during the sermon to the
adored one. 1t sometimes comes
back with faint but still visible stroke
under CT will
A bold and audacious method is illus
trated by the subjoined
The officer whose leave had nearly ex-
pired without his having been able to
bring pretty little coquette to the
point of acknowledging that she cared
for him even little, wee bit, was not
unwise to take her, ostensibly for the
purpose of sketching, to the top of the
church tower, to lock the staircase door,
put the key in his pocket, and VOW that,
if she did not promise solemnly to marry
him within month, he would throw
himself off the parapet before her eyes,
key and all.
How he choose time and place is we'll
illustrated by the following:
. A young parson travelling in Palestine,
and asked to join a pleasant party,
among whose numbers he found nota-
BILE heiress of passionate piety, did well
to restrain the expression of the ardor
of his affection until he found himself
lying at her feet on the slopes of the
Mount of Olives, looking toward Jeru-
salem. Scarcely any girl with spark
or religion or poetry in her composition
could have said "no." to white tie
and pair of handsome brown eyes
under such weu-chosen circumstances.

J." Mother |" she whispered; "may 1
call you mother2"

Mother she whispered; may L
call you mothera"
"Wel," said Mrs. Lovejoy, as she
took off her bonnet, " I never expected
to see Henry Wood look as he did this
morning when he stood at the altar with
Minnie. He is a new man; and she
looked lovelyl" He is horribly deform-
ed, though; 80, after all, as it was years
ago, she is still Beauty to his -
Hush, cousin" and Louis soft hand
stopped the word on Mrs. Lovejoy' g
lips. "She has chosen WE'LL"
But the merry laugh, long stilled,
rang out at the parsonage as Henry said,
caressing his wife's curls: " You know,
Beauty, the Beast was dying when the
fair lady promised to marry him. Un-
fortunately the promise has wrought no
transformation to-day"
Tenderly the little hand fell on the
disfguring hump as Minnie whispered
"My dear husband, has not God made
a perfect soul even in this poor body
All, my darling, believe me, no beauty
could be, to me, so lovely as the holy
life have seen led by one tried in the
furnace of affliction as you have been. -
And so the sorry jest passed by, and
the minister's wife followed humbly in
the paths her husband trod in his Mas
ter's service.

Handling Newspapers.

The world has got on 80 fast, and there
is so much genius, that not one man in
a thousand now folds newspaper when
he is done with it, and he is considered
no statesman who doesn't leave it spread
out ten or fifteen feet from the place
where he picked it up. The less right o
man has to a paper, the moro he is ex-
pected to misplace and rumple it, or lay
it on the edge of something from which
it may fall on the floor.

RANDOM PARTICULARs.

Gov. Jewell SAID IN conversation iris evening that
the first ntimaton which he had that his resignation
would be- accepted was yesterday afternoon, when
ne entered the Executive Mansion on business. The
Governors res p,nsc that he would of course rc
spect the Presidents wishes and accordingly on his
return To the P0st-Oiicc Department, lac wrote his
letter Of resignation nearly in these words: Sir:
hereby tender my resignation of the Office Of Post
masterticmcral."
Gov. Jewell asked no question of the President
and s therefore not aware of the reason for the
quest and members of the Cabinet say that they
are alike ignorant of the motives which controlled
tho President. 1t il asserted however, in
some circles, that in addition to polit-
cal considerations, the President was niu-
enced by Gov. JEWELS avowcd frIendlIncss
t. Mr. BrstOw Members Of Congress generally
when the report reached them that Gov. jewell had
resigned, did not readily credit it, The subsequent
nomination of Mr.. Tyucr in his place, however re-
moved all doubt, and occasioae1 extended inquiry as
to the cause Of the resignation but even most init
mate friends of the President asserted that they
were unable to furnish a reply.
Mr. Pratt has rendered his resignation AZ Com
missioner OF Internal Revenue, and will retire from
that Office on the 1st of August. 1t has been known
for some time that the President has in repeated
instances oriercd the removal of Internal Revenue
officers irrespective Of the recommendation or
sanction of tho Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue, who - held individually responsible
for the proper conduct Of his office
Several days ago the Commissioner expressed the
hope that on the incoming of Secretary Morrill, there
would be satisfactory arrangement, so that his
business could move harmonousy, but in the alb
senco of which propreiy would compel him to re-
sign. ho President, however, having intinatcd TO
him his desire tu make a change OF Commissioner,
hlr Pratt resigned.

WAsHINGTON, July 1l.-'fhe testimony i'll the Bel

that he knew exactly what he would testify to.
The testimony itself was most extraordinary. IL
had previously been proven by the testimony of
Mr. Marsh-no longer ago than yester'lay-that the
payment 10 Mr.. Belbnap began Il month after Mr.
Evans was appointed AZ post-trader at Fort
sill; that Evans at first paid $4,000 a
year, and then $4,000 year, royalty
to Mr.. Marsh for obtaining the appointment; that
Mr.. Marsh regularly ami from the first divided the
amount equally with Gen. Beknap; that the pay
mcnt began a month after The appointment ami
continued until last Christmas, when the last
money was pld by Mr.. Marsh to Mrs. Beiknap
by Gen. Bclknap's special direction. In the hght
of his testimony yesterday, that given by Mr. Marsh
to-day was most remarkable. lie said he never
agreed with anybody TO pay Gen. Belknap for his
appointment. nor for the appointment Of
