A, N, Stewards Palace.

Correspondence Cincinnati Gazette.l
The marked feature in Fifth avenue
has, for the last ten years, been Stew
arts palace, but since the outrage holds
a special distinction only second to St.
Marks. To build such a palace was
Stewards lifelong ambition, but he
was an old man before he entered it.,
and after only three years he exchanged
it for the narrow house appointed fer
all living. At present it is occupied
by an afflicted widow, whose mind is
shattered by age and disease, and upon
whom this blow has fallen with fearful
power. The spot has been previously
marked by misfortune. Townsend,
the sarsaparilla man, made great
wealth, and built the finest house in
New York, but he failed and died
miserably. Stewart then bought the
property and pulled downthe splendid
house in order to make room for his
palace. He was forced to occupy it
before it was finished by the fact that
smallpox broke out among his ser
wants and he was compelled to move
for safety. Death soon snatched him
from his palace, and afterwards the
widow got a serious fall, from which
she has never fully recovered. The
grand palace soon revealed grand de-
fects, one of which was that its lofty
stairs were too difficult of ascent for
an aged woman who is now imprisoned
by disease and sorrow in her room in
the second story, 1t is surprising ia
gaze on this grand establishment,
which cost a million, and onwhich the
taxes alone are $1,000, and realize that
it is devoted to the sole use Of this
childless old woman, The servants
who number at least a half dozen, oe.
cupy the basement and attic, and are
very fortunate in having such an easy
and luxurious plaoe, Mrs. Stewart i,
now favored by the attention of hel
brother, Charles Clinch, to whom she
gave an adjacent house in order to
have the family near her at this time
of age and feebleness.

The Missouri river at Leayenworth
is about to leave that elegant million
dollar bridge out in the cold. The
government engineer in charge of the
river improvements at that point is of
the opinion that it will be very diff
cult to stop the mroads of the water,
if it is possible to do SO at all. If the
water keeps on cutting its way east
ward it will soon cut a channel to the
eastward Of the bridge, and cut off the
communication with the Rock Island
road, except by ferry, with Leaven-
worth, and also cause great damage to
the bed Of that road.
Supervising Inspector General Jas.
A. Dumont says in his report: 1.-THE
total number Of lives lost from various
4 causes during the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1878, were: From explo-
sions, 80 from FIRE, q; from collisions,
81; from snags, wrecks and sinking,
104; from accidental drowning, Is;
from miscellaneous casualties, 4; total,
212. The whole number of accidents
resulting in the loss Of life was A."
The report says: Although the
service is yet susceptible of improve
ment in that respect / am proud to
say that, so thoroughly have its laws
been administered, in upward Of ZOO
100000 persons carried ON American
steamers during the last year, only one
person and one-tenth were lost in each
million. | do not hesitate to assert
that travel by steamer under the ex-
isting laws of the United States is
safer than in any other country"

How sad a Christmas is coming.
When the fires are sparkling, and
merry-making is on the grand
rounds and all shall seem bright and
bgoyapt, the thought will steal over
US, Ike the memory Of a dreadful
dream-where is the sother? Calmly
and forever reposing amid the silent
land of the sleepers, while tall monu-
ments stand sentry over the hsllowed
little sp9ts-tha gower-decked hillock
land all around is as pale as moon
light statues are"-there is the other.
If the Christmas season could only be
vailed, we might t0ggas that there are
dear Tiny little stockings never again
to hang around the chimney-corners
and oyer the fireplace. But Christ
mas will come with al as c~onvivality
and C6t0Usal, while thousands of sor-
rowing, bleeding hearts are beating,
like mufied drums" the dead march
over blighted hopes, shattered aftee-
tons and failing tears. What
shadows we are What shadows we
