MR. srEMARrs GREAT GIFTS.

Mr.. Stewart was in the true sense
philsnthropist. At the time of the great
famine in ireland he sent to his suffering
countrymen a ship load OF provisions.
In this he took course uniqe and per-
feet in itself, notwithstanding one OF the
neculiar characteristics Of the man. First,
he sought for ship TO charter. A Brit
;sb vessel was offered and refused. he
wanted q ship of his own country,
on American ship. Such ship
was found, new, in hne order,
with An American captain and an
American crew, and was at once
chartered He then ascertaned the
amount of the fortune that he brought
,r,m ireland, and added the interest
thereto. and there was very considera-
ble sum. which, in his view, he owed TO
Ireland. and he resolved TO pay the debt.
The vessel was laden entirely with both
necessary and costly provisions, and with
the American flag floating at her fore
mast she entered the harbor OF Belfast.
II WAS one of Americas contribut ions
n Ireland, and was 30 intended by the
giyer. The arrival of that vessel, and
the distribution OF the valuable cargo
among the suffering poor, produced q
profound impression. But The enter
prise was no, yet complete. The agent at
ReIfsst was directed 10 advertise for
Young men and women who desired; TO
90 to America, and . free passage vas
GIVEN to rs many as the vessel could
carry, the only requirement being that
the applicant should be OF good moral
character and able to read and write. A
circular was issued BY Mr.. Stewart him.
self and sent TO his numerous friends,
stating the tact that be expected large
number Of young persons, and asked EN-,
ployment tor them. When the vessel
reached the harbor OF New York places
had been found for almost every one o.
the new cmigrants. J net alter the Franco

pay was paid punctually and fully. And
in the course of his long career 1t has
never been alleged against him that ne
ever defrauded man, woman or child oil
a cent. At the same time be required OF
all the fullest performance of the duties
that they undertook and very slight
failure was in his eyes sufficient cause for
dismissal. AS an illustration OF his busi-
ness tact, il is mentioned that on opening
his grea, retail store he instructed his
clerks 20 pay particular attention to the
moor women who entered at the Fourth
avenue doors, his object being TO break
up the Bowery trade. And he did 1t Ell
feetually.

Mr.. L. Branson, agent of the Champ
ion Force Pump Manufacturing Com
pany of Barnesville, Ohio, gave an ex-
hibition on the Square on Wednesday
evening last, of the capacity of this
pump to throw water. The pump was
placed in the large cistern at the corner
of the court house pavement. and about
a hundred and fifty feet of inch and a half
hose was attached, and men put to work
on the handles. The hose was carried
up through the court house to the bel
fry. and Mr.. Branson took a position on
the projection on the outside, with the
nozzle in his hand. From this point,
stream was thrown clear over the steeple,
which is fifty feet in height from where
he stood. The roof Of the building was
soon running with water, plainly show
ing that the pump has great force. The
hose was then brought down to the street,
and carried to different points of the
square, and directed upon number of
buildings-the stream being thrown we'll
on to the roof of each of them. The
exhibition seemed to give general satis-
faction TO the large number of persons
who witnessed it; and we learn that the
Council contemplate supplying the diff
ferent public cisterns with these pumps,
together with a suitable amount of hose.
We also learn that several private par
ties design purchasing pumps and hose
for home protection against fires. We
know nothing about the cost Of these
pumps-as as compared with hand engines
but the exhibition of "Wednesday
evening convinced us that they are a
good thing. and would answer all the
purposes of the latter admirably.
