Stewards Secret Of Success.

I. A gentleman friend of the late A. T.
Stewart in conversation once asked him
how he had built up such colossal
fortune. Mr.. Stewart said: 81 began
with theory which was not SO much
a matter of principle and morality as
of expediency. I had seen so much of
the lack of common honesty in common
business, that concluded that telling
the truth would pay. A salesman
would warrant piece of prints land I
observed that he used the English
term and not American "calico') to be
as it appeared, and not merely firm
with the finish. The purchaser would
take it home to see the tub it was put
in grow white with starch; and sigh
over the falsehood of the storekeepers.
A silk would be sold as pure, to an in
experienced buyer, and the linen back
be pointed ont by friend. A flannel
would be sold as all wool at so near the
price of cotton as to please the pur-
chaser, until wear revealed the cotton
in it. A piece would be gathered in
the hands of the salesman in showing
the draped effect, and the customers be
fatty disputed in returning it, or want
the reduction. A bargain lot would be
held at full trade prices, and the bene-
fit of the margin not made gratuity
to the purchaser. In brief, saw that
advertising was success, and the best
possible advertisement was to have each
customer say to all acquaintances: II
was politely treated by that young man
at Mr.. Stewards store, and | got good
the worth of my money. By. this
means I was able to compete with the
class of merchants who did not profess
to want money, but who would wait the
time for the customer. That was false
policy in them, for they seem far near
er the worth of their cost when new and
desired, than when worn out and wea-
ried of. But the cardinal principle
was to make a pleased and moving adj
vertisement of every person who bought
from my shelves. It is astonishing
how many people one pleased lady will
tell of and exhibit to one really good
dress.

The Black Hills.

There was never agreater fraud sad
died upon civilization than the Blacl
Hills gold diggings. The mon who have
been ailured there find but starvation
and any amount of distress at the hands
of unfriendly Indians. Flour is quot
ed at 10 to II cents pound, and bacon
25, sugar 40, salt II, and beans Is cents
a pound, while molasses sells eat S2.50
to 50. 90 per gallon. and tobacco at from
81 90 to S1.50 a pound. After travel
ing $50 miles by OK or mule team from
the nearest railroad point, Cheyenne,
the gold hunter finds himself at the
diggings. where. if he lis lucky enough
to get good claim and is an expert
miner, he can by hard work make dol
lar day. A New York Times cores
pondent who has Investigated the mat
ter Thoroughly, says that very few men
make q dollar day. Some fortunate
fellows have scraped up as much as $55
a month, but it takes about that much
to keep the industrious miner in food.
A writer in the Kansas City Times,
who has been through the whole min
ing region, declares that he has not
yet seen nugget, and that none of the
gold from the new Eldorado has
found its way to Custer City.
The people in the mining
country are disgusted, and loud in
their denunciation of the fraud. It sis
said that the Cheyenne newspapers are
keeping up the excitement in order to
make the outftting business lively.
The Black Hills business should be
frowned down. Gold itself is hardly
worth bothering about, and those who
go down to the Black Hills in search of

whittier's Centennia, Hymn.

Whittier's Centennial Hymn.
The following hymn, by John G. Whit
tier, was sung upon the opening of tn
Centennial by Thomas chorus of eigh
hundred voices:
Our fathers God from out whose hand
The centuries fall like grains of sand,
We meet to-day, united, free,
And loyal to our land and Thee,
To thank Thee for the era done,
And trust Thee for the opening ode.
Here where of old, By thy design,
The fathers spake that word of Thine
Whose echo is the glad refrain
or rended bolt and falling chain,
To grace our festal time from all
The zones of earth our guests we call. y
Be with us while the New World greets
The Old World, thronging all its streets,
dwelling all the trlumphs won
By art or toll beneath the sum-
And unto common good ordain
This rivalship OF hand and brain.
Thou who hast here in concord furied
The war flags of gathered world,
Beneath our western skies fulfill
The Orients mission of goodwill,
And, freighted with loves golden fleece,
Send back the Argonauts of peace.
For art and labor met in truce,
For beauty made the bride of use,
We thank Thee, while withal we crave
The austere virtues strong to save,
The honor proof to place or gold,
The manhood never bought or sold!
Oh make Thou us, through centuries long,
In peace secure, and Justice strong;
Around our gift of freedom draw
The safeguards of Thy righteous law,
And, cast in some diviner mould,
Let the new cycle shame the old

And Oft he went.

CELIA LOGAN knows Of ''a Washington
young lady, very excellent manager
in point of toilet, who received this
winter three different invitations to
balls. She had but one ball dress. a
beautiful white crepe, brought here
from China by sailor. Go to these
balls in the same dress she would not,
and she could not talk papa into any
thing new SO she wore the white crepe
to the first ball, and had it dyed in pink
for the second, had the dye extracted
and the dress received blue for the third,
and all for the few dol ars her father
gave her for gloves, fan, etc. If she re-
ceives another invitation to party she
says. she will have the blue taken out
and have it white again.

An admirable reply to the bloody shirt
speech of ex-Speaker BLAINE. He first
arraigncd that gentleman for peri.ling
his good name when he made the asser-
ton that Hon. JEFFERSON DAVIS was
responsible for the hardships suffered at
AndersonvilIe, unless he could prove it.
And then he 'seated sensation by say
ing that althf1gh pardon had been offer
ed WfRz Is he would implicste Mr.
DAVIS IN the alleged Andersonville
crimes. he r.A.Ased to do so, and what
he WIEZJ had refused to do to save his
life, he BLAINEl had done to make party
capital" lmc speech throughout is pub
