GREAT sHoP-KEEPERS.


says that A. T. Stewards "bnsiness was
one which he did not do, and could
not do, without depressing influence
upon all who were dependent upon the
same business for a livelihood. His
great establishment was a shadow that
hung over all the others in the town.
The man with ten or twenty thousand
dollars the man with one thousand
dollars, each, alike, was obliged to
compete with this man, who had
millions outside of the necessities OF
his enormous business. The hosier,
the halter, the woman in her thread
and needle shop, the milliner, the glove
dealer, the carpet dealer, the upholsterer,
all were obliged to compete with
Stewart. If he had followed single
line of business it would have been
different but he followed all lines.
Wherever he saw profit to be made,
in any line of business that was at all
congruous with dry goods, he made it.
He thus became formidable competitor
with half the shop keepers in New
York. His capital made it possible
fer him to ruin men by the turn of his
band to fix his prices a. which every
body was obliged to sell at whatever
loss. However proud the New Yorker
may have been of his wonderful estab.
lishment-and there is no doubt that it
was pretty universally regarded with
pride-it is easy now to see, in this
period of unexampled depression that
our business men at large would be in
a much better condition if that estab-
lishment had never existed. If all the
money that has gone to swell his useless
estate had been divided among small
dealers, hundreds of stores now idle
would be occupied, and multitudes Of
men now III straitened circumstances
would be comparatively prosperous.
'.But it Is said that he employed a
great many people. Yes, he did but
did he pay them well7 Would they
have not been better paid in the employ
of others? The necessities of his
position, and his ambition, compelled
him to pay small prices. The grea,
mass of those who served him work ed
hard for the bread tina, fed them. The
public bought cheaply the outside
dealers suffered +; the employees laid NJ
no money, and MIR. Stewart got rich
| Under the circumstances, and under the
necessities of the case, was it desirable
that he should get rich? We think
not and we think that the final resuli
of this great shop-keeping success is
deplorable in every way. 1t has absorbed
the properties of great multitude Of
men and women. New York would
be richer, happier, more comfortable,
more healthy in all its business aspects.
if the great store at Tenth street had
never been built. Five hundred men
who invest their little capital in the
various lines of business, and pay THEN
modest rent, and devote their time to
their affairs, content with profits that
give them and their families a fair liv-
ing and few savings for rainy day,
are certainly better far for city than a
single Stewart, who absorbs their bust
| ness and leaves them in distress"

The LOVERS. !

Two lovers by moss-gro wn spring:
They leaned soft cheeks together there
Mingled the dark and sunny hair
And heard The woolng thrlshes sing,
o budding time!
0 loves best prime!
Two welded from the portal stept;
The bells made happy carrollings,
The Air was soft rs Thinning wings,
White petals in the pathway slept.
0 pure-eyed bride!
0 tender pride!
Two faces O'era cradle bent.
Two hands above the head were locked
Those pressed each other while they
rocked;
Those watched lite that love had sent.
o solemn hour!
o hidden power!
Two parents by the evening fire;
The red light fell about their knees
On heads that rose by SLOW degrees
Like buds upon the iiiy-spire.

O tender strifel
The two still sat together there;
The red light shone about their knees,
But all the heads by slow degrees
Fad gone and lett that lonely pair.
o voyage fust
O banished past.
The red light shone upon the floor,
And made the space between them wide
They drew their chairs up side by side,
Their pale cheeks joined and said "Onc G

LOSSES

Losses
All of the horses belonging to one
company of cavalry are reported as
drowned in the Yellowstone, which is
very high at this season.
The Indians ran off the last FIVE head
Of beef from Gen Crook OIL Friday
The supply camp is surrounded.
ATTACKING CAMP BY NIGHT.
The Indians have very amusing
way of creeping up near camp about
dusk, keeping up lively fusilade for a
few minutes on the camp fires and
lighted tents. As result camp fires
and lighted tents are not fashionable
just now. The soldiers prefer to go to
bed in the dark. The Indians fred
over five hundred shots into camp one
evening last week. About the time the
firing is going on everything in the
shape Of breastworks to get behind is
very acceptable, even if it is not larger
than small carpet bag. A man does
not feel very strong then-he would
rather lie down. As one man expressed
it, he ''was not scared, but he did not
feel WE'LL The recent arrival Of the
Indian scouts will in a measure prevent
this, as they will be placed around
camp as videttes.
OFF FOR THE EXPEDITION.
Gen. Crook will probably return &c
the supply camp early next week, if he
is successful, in which case the wagon
train will start in for this point for sup
plies. ! shall go out with the train to
join the expedition. We will probably
have lively tins on the trip, as one
hundred and four six>mule wagons
loaded with supplies will be very
attractive to the Indians, who, having
lived Oh government rations SO long
have still hankering for them.
A WINTER CAMPAIGN POSSIBLE.
We may haye winter campaign, as
the Indians will not be allowed te
return to their agencies, they having
broken their treaty and left the agencies
to go Oh the war path against the
whites.
Gen. Carr, with eight companies Of
the Fifth Cavalry, leayes Fort Laramie
tomorrow morning and will scout il
the country east of Big Horn and pre-
vent the Sioux from going south. Gen
Terry, accompanied by Gen. Custer
and Gen. Gibbons, will prevent i
possible the escape of the hostile In
dams across Dakota into British
America. He will range north OF the
Yellowstone.
LONE WOLF.
News was received here yesterday thai
Lone Wolf was on his way north to :joil
the Sioux with 1900 of the northern
Cheyennes.
THE FUTURE.
There will probably be one genera
engagement. Then the Sioux, if I'M
successful, will break up into small par
ties and continue the war indefinitely
by raiding on the frontier.
With the large number of men al
their command they can give us a grea
deal OF trouble in small parties.

are already in the Big Horn Mountains

IlE LETT GEN. CROOK

At the permanent supply camp, which
is located about ITO miles west of north
from here, and about Is miles norths
west of the site of Old Phil. Kearney
OH Goose Creek, which is branch of
Tongue River, the latter stream flowing
north into the Yellowstone.
Gen. Crook left the camp on Satur-
day with his whole command, having
mounted bis infantry on the mules be-
longing to the wagon train He has
about 1920 soldiers and about 270 of
the Crow, Snake and Shoshone Indians,
who are old hereditary enemies of the
Sioux, and accopany the expedition as
scouts, making them very valuable.
FORTIFIED SIOUX VILLAGES.
The General struck out for the Sioux,
who have two very large fortified
villages near the mouth of Rosebud
Greek where 1t empties into the Yellow-
stone. He will have about 120 miles
to make, which he has accomplished by
this time, and has, in all probability
had severe fight, the results of which
we are awaiting with much anxiety In
the villages there are about 1900 Indians
well armed and well supplied with
ammunition, which they have been
accumalatiug for the past three years
These Indians are determined to make a
stand and the results are doubtful. Gen.
Gibbons is encamped across from them
on the north shore of the Yellowstone.
He is having frequent skirmishes with
them. He sent two companies Of in,
fantry across last week. but the soldiers
were repulscd aud had to return.

THE LAWYER AND THE FARMER.-Law-
yer j.. who lives in hourishing little
town in Pennsylvania. while out riding tn
his neighborhood one day, came upon
Farmer H.. who was strolling leisurely
through his cornfield with his head bowed
as if in deep thought. LawyerJ J. glanced
at him, stopped his horse, and cried out
"Hello, Mr.. H., what is the matter with
you?"
"Oh, nothing" answered Mr.. H., look
ing surprised.
well, then." said the lawyer. "why not
hold up your head and walk boldly and
erect, like man should walk-like me.

ping from his horse, he gave an example,
standing beside his animal with head
erect and his form as straight as a liberty
pole. That's the way to carry yourself"
said the lawyer.
A smile stole over the farmers face, as
he n"i"ted to two particular ears of corn
in his field:
''oee, said the farmer, ''that ear Of corn
which is well laden bends down. and be.
hold that ear which has little on it stands
up straight"
The lawyer. feeling that he was nom
plussed by the farmer. mounted his horse
in silence and drove on.

EXERCISE FOR ANlMALS-HEyS.

An experienced farmer says that in all
schemes for feeding animals in yards and
stables, instead OF allowing them to
get their own food in woods or
pastures, there is one thing lost sight Of;
namely, the necessity Of physical exercise,
in order to have the best of health. We
know how it is with men and women who
do not take exercise enough. and it is as
true of animals. They need something to
do as well as something to eat, and the
wise man is he who finds his animals ex.
ercise as well as food. One of the best
chicken ''culturlsts" that we know acts al
ways on this principle. They are usually
so situated that the birds cannot have full
range, but have to be kept confined in a
rather small yard. They generally look
pitiful when penned up in this way. but
here they look as cheerful as if they were
in the open air, because something is
found for them to do. In the fall of the
year leaves are thrown in about the yard,
and the grain on which they are fed is
thrown in about them, so that it takes
considerable scratching about before they
can find it. At other times they are treat
ed to load of sand or earth thrown in
the yard, in which they scratch and amuse
themselves, and sometimes through the
season the hired man forks up the ground.
These and similar thoughtful plans for
finding work for the feathered flock are
practiced, and our friend believes with
much profit to the birds.-Erchdnge.
