A Curious History.

The Stewart palace, saws the New
York correspondent OF the Utica Herald,
has thus far rather a strange history.
The lot was purchased by Townsend,
the s~arsaparilla man, who made a for
tune out Of that nostrum and built what
was then US54) the finest house in the
city. Such was its beauty that il was
exhibited before the family took posses
sion, at % cent admission, for the ben
eft Of a charity. Townsend afterward
failed, and Stewart bought the property
at Sherif's sale. He pulled down the
house and planned the present palace.
This was done before the a when
prices were low, and the imitation 50 in
creased the cost Of labor and material
that the contract became a heavy loss.
Stewart held the contractor to the letter.
and the unfortunate man suffered to an
almost ruinous degree. 1t is seldom
that a building constructed under such
circumstances ayails much 10 its owner.
Stewart was eleven years preparing a
palatial home for his old age, but he
died soon after taking possession. The
grandest palace in America Is now oc-
cupied BY a childless old woman and
her servants. The gorgeous parlors,
the picture gallery. and all the luxurious
Interior Is now a silent waste. The lofty
ceiling render the staircase a labor, and
the mistress, being lame from a fall, i
unable TO meet such a difficulty. A per-
son in such a condition must be content
ed with the limits Of a bedroom, and
hence the largest part OF the palace Is
useless. Such Is the condition Of an es-
adjustment which cost a round million,
and on which the taxes alone are $1,000
a wear.

sequence Of the slaughter was that the
ants who were on the way Immediately
turned back and tried to persuade their
companions who were not vet aware of
the danger TO turn back also. A short
conversation cnsucd between the ants,
which, however, did not result in an

Did you ever realize how many differ

now-a-days, TO every lady's toilet and
rs shawl-pins, shoe and glove-buttoners
they are indispensable, in default Of the
original, and even in pin-backs ladies
have often found them q dernier resort.
We will not dwell upon their use as nut
picks, tooth picks, cleaning finger nails,
etc, for fear som may not consider the
assoc lations delicate; but we shall in
sist that the much-abused and modest
