A, 4. Stewards Art Gallery.

The late A. 7. Stewart possessed one
of the largest and most costly private art
galleries in the country. He had been
for many years large buyer OF pic
lures, but his collection did not become
noted until the completion OF his art
gallery, which is situated in the rear
part of his house. A few years ago,
while in Europe, he gave commissions
to several celebrated artists, and in this
way, and also by purchase, he made his
most important art acquisitions. Among
the artists represented in these later
purchases were Gerome, Knaus, Meis-
sonier, Fortnuy, Bouguereau, Boldini,
Zamacois, Baugniet, Piloty and others.
One of the later additions is that master
piece of MISSIONER, entitled "18O7," Or
"Charge. des Cuirassiers," for which
Mr.. Stewart paid 100000 francs. The
last picture placed in his gallery was
"The Chariot Race" by Gerome, which
is II companion piece to the celebrated
"Gladiators by the same artist. A
painting by Boldini, entitled "A Fete
Day ut Trianon,' for which Mr. Stewart
paid 100, 900 francs, is now on its way to
this country. Among Mr.. Stewards
most noted pictures are "The Horse
Fair" by Rosa Bonheur, which former
ly belonged to the Wright collection,
and "The Prodigal Son" by Dubufe.
The works of many French artists, who
painted the scenes of common life, he
did not possess, his taste seeming to be
rather for large pictures and bright col
oring. Among the artists who have
contributed to his gallery are Boulan-
ger, Compile, Cot, Daubigny, Detaille,
Fichel, Francois, Frere, Pills, Troyon,
Yvon, Merle, Gallait, Nicol, Kaulbach,
Robbie, Verboeckhoven, Stevens, Ma
drazo, aud, among the noted artists of
this country, Church, Bierstadt, Gig
noux, James M. Hart, James Fl. Beard,
and Arthur Parton. Mr.. Stewart was
also tho pcssessor of some of the finest
statuary in the city. His latest acquisi-
ton in this department. of art was Pow
ers' "Eve," which be purchased for
IS, 900. The celebrated "Greek Slave"
by the same sculptor, also had a place
in his gallery.

The Presidents Salary.

In his veto of the bill reducing the
salary of the President of the United
States from $50, 1000 to 1875, 900 per an
mum, President Grant says that he can
not be accused of personal interest, as it
does not affect him in any way. He says
the salary of President was fixed at $685.
600 per annum, just after the Revolu-
tionary war, when we had only 3,000,-
600 of population, and were poor. At
that time members of Congress got but
Sc per day for actual service rendered,
and served on an average 100 days a
year, making ss720 salary per annum.
Now they receive more than $50 per day
for each day Of service rendered, allow
ing five months session each year. The
President intimates that with this in
crease in the salaries of congressman,
the Presidents salary at $685. is not
by any means out Of proportion. File
says that we now have forty millions OF
people, instead of three, when the salary
was fixed at 1875, 900, with wealth largely
increased, and the cost of living vastly
out of proportion to what it was then.
The veto says that the President knows,
from his experience, that the salary of
1926, 900 is inadequate for the expenses
of living at the White House.

A Light Punishment.

A writer in the GALAXY, speaking of
the brutal treatment of American sailors
in American ships, relates this story:
1t is only few years since Lieutenant
in the United States navy was actually
tried by court martial at Charlestown,
Ma g., for having caused the death of
two Tor three) of his men--a dead sailor,
more or less, is a small matter-by an
device of his own invention;
to wit, kind of sentry box built over
the escape pipe, where the luckless cul-
prit was allowed to take a Turkish bath
until it graciously pleased his superior
to consider him "done." Two (or
three) patients, through culinary negli-
gence, were overdone; the consequence
whereof was court martial, and con-
too. Yea, even sentence of
several months suspension from the
service and of his pay! He survived;
but it was au awful lesson to him and ali
philosophers.

Spontaneous Combustion of Coal.

While cases Of spontaneous combus-
ton in bitumirous coal are not of an un-
common occurrence, it is quite rare in
hard or anthracite coal. The theory
generally entertained is that the presence
of pyrites in soft coal presents exactly
the desired elements which by oxidation
produces heat sufficient to develop com
bustion. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the sulphurets do materially
assist in producing combustion, although
cases have been found Of coal heaps on
fire where an analysis of the coal showed
but the faintest traces of sulphur. 1t is
now believed that soft coal, like char
coal, when finely divided and damp, alb.
serbs oxygen on exposure to the atmos-
phere, and forming carbonic acid devel-
ops heat. The inspector of mines Of
Nova Scotia recommends, then, that
coal for long voyages shall be put on
board dry, and in as large Jumps as pos
sible, so that the area of coal surface ex
posed to the action of the air and moist
ure may be as limited as possible.

A Murder Disclosed in a Dream.

Isaac Randolph, who murdered his
wife at New Haven in the spring of
1856, gives notice that he will apply to
the next Legislature for release from
State prison, to which he was sentenced
for life. The murder created great
sensation, and the story OF it is very in
teresting. He killed the woman with
washboard during quarrel, and prob
ably did not intend to strike fatal
blow. After the murder, Randolph cut
the body up and buried it in his garden,
planting corn and beans over the spot.
Several days after, Robert Coe, the
father of the missing women, related,
with great impressiveness, the particu-
lars of a dream which he had had on
three successive nights. He said that
Mary Ann came to him crawling on her
hands, and that when he asked her why
she did not walk, she replied that she
could not, for her legs had been cut off.
Each night she appeared to him on the
borders of small brook which then
ran at the foot of the garden. At last
the garden was examined, and the body
was found.

Our friend, Judge Hilton, will,

power, and to him l refer you for a
general understanding of the various

CIlSSed.
1 am not unaware also of the fact that
there are many who have served me
faithfully and well in my business and
otherwise who should be recognized and
rewarded, but for whomHI have as yet
made no special provision. Your own
recollection, aided by Judge Hilton's
knowledge on this subject, willdoubtless
bring these persons to your attention,
and feel satisfied that their claims will
be Justly considered by you.

you will ascertain the names of all such

me for period of ter years and up

let his property be ever SO small. The
evils of debt have been most forcibly il
Illustrated during the prevailing strin-
gency of the hard times. Many man
who had money enough to make him
comfortable has lost every dollar by
having it invested in property on which
he had given mortgage which he has

much a man is worth, if he is heavily in
debt his situation is precarious and his
life is troubled. Let every young man
lay down the rule, and stick to it, never
to run in debt.
