Mr.. STEWART7S GREAT GIFTS.

Mr.. Stewart was in the true sense q
philanthropist. At the time of the great
famine in Ireland he sent to his suffering
countrymen ship load of provisions. In
this he took course unique and perfect
in ITSELF and illustrating one of the pecu-
liar characteristics of the man. First, he
sought for ship to charter. A British
vessel was offered and refused. He wan
ted ship Of his own country, an Ameri-
can ship. Such ship was found, new,
in fine order, with an American captain
and an American crew, and was at once
chartered. He then ascertained the
amount of the fortune that he brought
from Ireland, and added the interest to
it, and there was very considerable
sum, which, in his view, he owed to Ire
land, 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 the fore
mast she entered the harbor at Belfast.
1t was one of Americas contributions to
Ireland, and was so intended by the giver
The arrival of that vessel, and the distri-
button of the valuable cargo among the
ouhCllhS POOI pIOuuCeu profound I'M
preston. But the enterprise was not
yet complete. The agent at Belfast was
directed to advertise for young men and
women who desired to go to America,
and free passage was given to as many
as the vessel could carry, the only require
ment being, that the applicant should be
of good moral character and able to read
and write. A circular was issued by Mr..
Stewart himself, and sent to his numer-
GUS friends, stating the fact that he ex-
pected large number of young persons,
and asking employment for them. When
the vessel reached the harbor of New
York, places had been found for almost
every one of the new emigrants. Just
after the Franco-Prussian war he sent
the bark Hunter, containing 8 ,S12 barrels
of flour as gift to the suffering French
people. His gift of $4,000 to Chicago,
and his subsequent gift of another $4,000
are fresh in everybody's memory. In
1867 Mr.. Stewart went to Paris as one of
the representatives from the United States
to the worlds great exhibition. He was
President of the Honorary Commission
appointed by the government.

THE LOST FOUND.

Some time about the 14th of last Feb
ruary, a little boy named Eddie Berger
wandered away from his home near Mt.
Vernon, O. 1t was supposed by all who
knew the circumstances of his departure
that he was stolen, and reward was Of
fered to any one who would return the
missing boy to his parents. The sur
rounding neighborhood was searched by
squads of men, but all was in vain until
recently, when his dead body was dis
covered. We take the following from a
Mt. Vernon letter to the Ohio State Jour-
nal, which gives the circumstances attend
ing the discovery of his body:
Quite sensation was caused last Sat-
urday, April IA, on account of the finding
of the body ofthe lost boy Eddie Berger.
A young man named Hunter, while plow-
ing in the field, was attracted to the spot
6y the terrible stencil that proceeded
from that quarter. Upon approaching
the place he was Mortified at seeing the
partially decomposed remains of a hu-
man body. He speedily gave the alarm,
and as soon as the news reached the city,
parties proceeded to the spot and brought
the corpse of the unfortunate boy to the
city. His parents were notified at once,
and the body was taken to the office of
DR.. Larrimore and put in as decent con-
dition as possible for interment. 1t is
most strange that this little boy nearly
three months ago, in broad daylight,
should become bewildered and wander
away from home, and sink down and die
in sight of a dozen houses, and nearly
eight miles from his starting place. In
travelling to hisaeath he must have pass.
ed scores of people and as many houses,
and why, in view of all these circumstan.
ces. he should lie down in an open field
and die without being discovered or call
ing for aid, will in all probability be for
ever shrouded in mystery.
