A SuperstitiOus Merchant.

Perhaps the most singular character
istic of the late A. T. Stewart, says an
exchange, was his alleged superstition
or belief in luck and lucky persons.
Bearing upon this subject many curious
stories are told of him, some of which
will bear repetition. When he kept his
store on Broadway, between Murray and
Warren streets, there sat on the sidewalk
before it, on an orange box, an old
woman, whose ostensible occupation was
the selling of apples. The business
was, however, merely a pretense, the
main object being beggary. AS years
rolled on Mr.. Stewart became impressed
with the idea that the old dame was his
guardian angel of good luck, and this
impression took so firm hold upon his
mind that when he removed to Cham
bers street he, in person, took up the
old woman's box AMI removed her to the
front of his new establishment. In
further illustration of Mr.. Stewards
faith in the Irish traditional belief in
"lucky" and unlucky" persons it
may be mentioned that after the COM
pletion of the st. Nicholas Hotel in New
York city, an undertaking in which he
was largely interested, and when the
building was just about to be opened for
the reception of guests, the millionaire,
standing in the drawing-room, ejacu-
lated: :" 1t is now finished; hope its
first visitors may be lucky people," A
gentleman present, who had heard of
Mr.. Stewards care for the aged apple
vender, remarked: 81 presume, sir,
you do not in reality care about lucky
or unlucky persons" to which he i'm
mediately replied "Indeed I do.
There are persons who are unlucky. l
sometimes open case of goods and sell
the first from it to some person who is
unlucky and lose on it to the end. l
frequently see persons to whom 1 would
not sell if L could avoid it."

MeRly Potatoes.

We have found from our own expert
ence, says the HouSekeeper, that pota-
toes are very watery from the month of
March till the market offers new ones.
In our kitchen we overcome the soggy
disposition of these valuable vegetables
by soaking them few hours in cold
water, and putting them into hot water
to boil, without salt; then, when they
are tender nearly all the way through,
turn the water off, and refill the sauce
pan with cold water. Put in salt and
boil till they are quite done; drain off
that water also, cover as tightly as pos
sible, and set on the back of the range
to steam, lifting the cover for an instant
once or twice; then, with one hand
holding down the lid. shake the sauce
pan gently, quickly and steadily for a
moment, and serve your potatoes hot.
If rightly managed they will be like
snowballs.

The Case of Isaac 3 Charles


The case of the State of Ohio against
Isaac B. Charles came up for hearing
on Saturday last. On being arraigned
at the bar of the court he plead to the
indictment found against him by the
Grand Jury. The indictment was read
to him 10y Henry Brown, the Prosecu
ting Attorney, Mr. Charles standing
close by in front Of the Court. The
indictment is very lengthy, containing
three counts, anc covering some eight
pages OF legal paper
At the conclusion of its reading, IL
was asked by the Court whut plea lie
had TO make, whether guilty or not
guilty. Before he could answer, Mr.
Blackford stated that before the pris
oner plead to the indictment his Attor-
neys desired to move to quasll ii on
the grounds that the Sheriff had not
returned his venire for the summouing
of the Grand Jury according to law, aud
on the further ground that the Clerk of
the Court had not made the proper
entries upon the Journal, when the
Grand Jury reported their indictmenC,
and also On the ground that the Grand
Jury was not properly empaneled and
sworn. These questions were fully dis
cussed by Brown for the State and
Blackford for the defense After hear
ing the argument, the Court remarked
that he would decide the questions
raised on the next Monday morning.
On Monday morning after convening
Court, the Judge delivered lengthy
opinion overruling the motion. There
upon, the defer dant filed a plea in
abatement, and witnesses were heard
in its support, and the Counsel for the
State and defense again argued the
questions raised at considerable length.
The Court decided in favor of the
State. and refused 70 sustain the plea
il ,.aIcIueIt THEN the defendant,
by his attorneys, Iil,.t; u .i..G.u-"-r g.
the indictment, and {. !-nsib by ar:u
ment was made by Mr.. BIackford
against the sufficiency of the indict
menr. He was followed by Mr.. Brown,
who made an earnest and able speech
in defense of the Indictment, but at
times seemed to forget the proprieties
of debate by indulging in bitter sar-
casm against his opponent. He, how
ever, acquitted himself well, and gave
evidence of being fully posted upon the
points raised. The Court listened at
tentiyely to the arguments, and the
audience manifested great interest in
the d scussion. The Court took the
question under advisement until Tues
day morning, when he decided the in
dictment to be good. and the prisoner
arose and plead mot guilty" OF all
in the Court Room Isaac B. Charles
seemed the least moved and most un
concerned.
