THE WIDOW STEWART.
How a Rich Woman Lives in New
York.

New York Correspondence Pitts
burg Telegraph: When / came past
Mrs. Stewards marble mansion, at
the corner of Thirty fourth street
and Fifth avenue, the other night,
l thought that no tomb could be
quieter. There was but one apart
ment lighted up, to all appearances,
and in the moonlight of the May
evening the place seemed indeed a
'whited sepulchre," given over to
ghouls and private watchmen. One
of the latter genus is on special
duty every night, and makes his
rounds as precaution against fire
or robbers, from O'Clock p. NJ. till
early morning. Since Stewart died
the bed-chamber wherein he breath
his last has been unoccupied, the
| widow preferring to climb one flight
of stairs ratLer than sleep in a
room full of such mournful associa-
| tions. She resides alone, attended
only by servants, and every night
goes up to the third story, where
her own room now is. On the sec
ond floor there is only one bed
room-that in which the merchant
prince died-the rest of the apart
ments consisting of library and
living rooms. Mrs. Stewart has
discarded mourning habiliments
altogether, although she is eighty
years of age, and goes TO dinner
parties attired in garnet velvet, and
wearing diamonds that fash so that
a guest said the other evening that
no electric lights are needed when
the Widow Stewart is present. Her
diamond solitaire earrings are not
only twenty-five carats fine, but are
remarkable from the fact of being
without a flaw; they are literally
"eems of purest ray serene" Mrs.
Stewart has also prided herself on
her figure, which is indeed very
youthful and well proportional, ,and
now she looks younger than ever
because of wearing a coiffure made
IN one piece by skilful manufac-
turer of wigs, who has studied the
most becoming to the perennial
Cornelia. Mrs. Stewart is woman
of much goodness of heart, but she
has certain weaknesses in respect TO
dressing more youthfully than a
person should at her time of life.
However, size is mistress OF her
own actions. l saw her tripping
/ along on Judge HIlton's arm at
Saratoga last summer, they had
been dining with a party, including
Mrs. Stewards neice, Mrs. Smith,
of Long Island, at the Windsor
Hotel, and were returning thence
to the Grand Union. Mrs. Stewart
had already relinquished crepe and
bombazine for founces and white
flowers and other insignia of half
mourning, and did not appear alto
gether inconsolable. She is very
near sighted, but otherwise seems
as little like woman of fourscore
as can be imagined. She told a
friend the other day that her late
husbands remains had never been
found, the impression to the con-
trary Notwithstanding.

A HORRIBLE FATE.
Drowned in a Cloud-Burst and Car.
ried Miles Away.

Particulars of the death of G. j.
Smith, who was drowned in Merced
county, Nevada, have just been re-
ceIved. He was visiting his sheep
range in Deadman's creek, near
Plains5urg, intending to begin
shearing as soon as the weather
should moderate sufficiently, and he
had gang of men employed Nor
that purpose. The camp of the
shearers was on high ground, over
looking a gulch which at this point
runs between high and precipitous
banks, and Smith occupied cabin
lower down and close to the edge
of the gulch. Late on Wednesday
afternoon, the weather showing no
signs of abating, he left the pen,
and, accompanied by Portuguese,
went to the lower cabin. Shortly
after, the shearers on the hill above
heard rushing sound, quickly sue
ceeded by a terrible roaring and
cracking, as if every rock and boul-
der on the mountain side had been
torn from its hold and was being
hurled along the gulch. They
knew in an instant what had hap
pened, and realized the frightful
position of Smith and the Portu
guese. They rushed toward the
cabin, yelling at the top of their
voices for the doomed men to leave
the cabin, and the latter evidently
heard them tor two dazed, bewil-
dered faces appeared at the door
for a single instant; the next, a
solid wall of water, debris and great
masses of earth and rock struck the
lightly-built shanty, and all that it
contained disappeared in the boil
ing waters. The scene passed like
frightful vision before the horri-
fed spectators on the bank, and for
moment they stood as if para
lyzed. AS soon as the water sub
sided somewhat, search was made
for the unfortunate victims, and the
body of the Portuguese was found
next day about two miles below the
scene of the catastrophe. The body
of Mr.. Smith was not found until
the day after, having lodged among
the rocks about five miles below the
camp. The only injury found on
the body of Smith was bruise on
the forehead, and there can be no
doubt but that he was drowned, and
not killed by contact with the bowl
ders. The cause of this sudden
deluge in a gulch that is precipi-
tous enough to carry off any ordi
nary amount Of water was evidently
cloud burst in the mountains,
where the gulch heads, such phe-
nomena being of frequent occur
renee in that section.

MICHIGAN Frogs as Diet.

Detroit Post: ''What are themF r
asked a countrvman, pointing to a
heaped up dish in a restaurant down
town. "Looks like birds with their
toes turned up. What air theyY
Frogs, sab" answered the polite
waiter; 'very nice dish, sahl gen
tlemen very fond of them"
"Frogs! good graciousl Not the
kind we have in our pond 20 home?
Why, me and Maria would starye
afore we'd tech one"
So ignorance tears down in a mo-
ment what science has been years
in discovering, and no amount OF
gastronomical skill will prevail on
the prejudiced rustics TO taste one
of his neighbors of the pond. "Ez
if the critters were fit To eat" he
remarks in disparaging tone,
while he orders pound OF fresh
pork, which he disposes of with
bon appetite.
The man of taste and culture who
has learned the value of brain food
comes in presently, and orders a
dozen of the piping ponc larks, and
when they are brought to him, hot,
crisp, delicate, with that dainty
rosiness of flesh which the profes-
sor of cookery knows is their per
quisite, and eats them with the inn
mease satisfaction of an artist in
comestibles. Frogs, as an edible,
in Detroit alone, form an industry
for large class of people, and n
special item on the bills of fare at
hotels and restaurants, the largest
of the last mentioned establish
ments showing an average purchase
of 10000 dozen during the seven
months of their popularity. Un-
like oysters, they are good during
all seasons, but in the winter
months frog fishing is abandoned.
They are caught along the river
and Lake st. Clair shore In nets,
but in the marshes they are speared.
As soon as caught they are skinned,
and the refuse parts thrown away;
the largest frogs are kept alive and
taken IN crates of a peculiar Goa
struction TO Chicago, Cincinnati
and New York. All the hotels to
which driving and pleasure parties
resort make a specially Of them as
favorite dish. Early in the spring
the frog catcher gets % cents 10 30
cents dozen for them, but later in
the season they are as low as 10
cents a dozen. They retail at much
higher prices, as the dealer assumes
the risk Of fluctuations in the mar
ket From 20 to 70 dozen viii oc
casiOnaliy be ordered for parties at
private houses, and fancy prices
range as high as 70 cents or 81 a
dozen.
AS pot pies, stews and chowders
they are q failure. The only legiti-
mate way to cook a frog is to fry
him brown IN sweet table butter.
As q preliminary be must be dipped
iL batter Of cracker dust, which
should adhere closely when cooked,
forming a dainty cracknel OF
golden brown color, with a crisp
tang TO It when submitted to the
teeth. The tender juices thus re-
tanned lose none OF their delicate
flavor, and the dainty morsel needs
no condiments to give IL an addi-
tional Zest.

The Maiden's Prayer.

A romantic young man asked his
sweetheart 10 take a walk with him
by moonlight on the river bluf at
east Dubuque, Iowa. She went
gladly. When half way up the ex-
tension they halted TO admire the
prospect. Suddenly stone slipped
under the young mans feet and he
went down like a curtain stick. He
caught hold Of some vines which
hung to the rocks, and hung 90 for
life, expecting To fall a hundred
feet and 70 be dashed in pieces on
the rocks below. The young wo-
man could not pull HIM up, 50 she
fell on her knees and prayed for
him. The young man united with
her after this fashion: "Helpl
Murderl Oh, Lordi ] know I'll
be broken up. Now / lay me-
confound It all; forget. o Jeru-
salem! I've got to let go pretty
quick. Give as some daily bread
oh, that amt right o Lordi
Send somebody TO help me oat OF
this scrape. Help? Thunderf' At
this point he could hold no longer,
but went down. But not one hun
dred feet. Only a few feet, for he
landed on a ledge which neither he
nor she had seen in their excite
ment. a small fragment of cuticIe
rubbed of his knee was the sole in
Jury.

CREEPING UP THE STAIRS.

In :he softly-falling twilight
OF weary, weary day,
With quiet step l entered
Where the children were at play;
l was brooding o 'er some trouble
That had met me unawares,
When a little voice came ringing,
"Me is creepin' up stairs"
Ali it touched the tenderest heartstring
With breath and force divine,
And such melodies awakened
As words can meier define;
And l turned to see our darling,
All forgetfnl ofmy cares 1850 is
when l saw the little creature
Slowly creeping up the stairs.
Step by step she bravely clambered
On her little hands and knees.
Keeping up q constant chattering
Like magpie in che trees.
Till at last she reached the topmost,
When DER her worlds affairs
She delighted stood victor,
After creeping up the stairs.
Painting heart, behold an image
OF mans brief and struggling life,
Whose best prizes must be captured
With noble, earnest strife;
Onward, upward reaching ever,
Bending to tbs weight of cares,
Hoping, fearing, still expecting,
We go creeping up the stairs,
On the steps may be no carpet.
By their side may be no rail,
Hands and knees may often pain US,
And the beart may almost fail;
Still above there il the glory
Which no sinfulness impairs,
With Its rest and Joy forever,
After creeping up the stairs.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1880-07-08

Mr.. Van Nostrand. 'we have always
heretofore voted the Republican
ticket, but we have come to say
that at the next election we shall
vote for you"
"Well, really" said the General.
rather hesitatingly and seeming to
know hardly what to say, Il am
much obliged to YOU"
'We belong to the Independent
Republicans" resumed Mr.. Van
NostranS, hurrying to relieve the
Generals embarrassment, "and shall
assert our independence at the
polls, and the future will show a
strong army of these independent
voters"
independent voting is a great
power" remarked the general, ''that
does not often assert itself. Gen
tlemen, l feel much obliged to you
1 know that some of my official
acts have won the sympathies of
many members of the republican
party, and l have many warm per
sonal friends in its ranks, and | am
proud of their good opinion"
"We think you need change of
sir," remarked Mr.. Kenyon with a
view, no doubt, as the object of the
visit had been accomplished, to
bring it to a close with a bit of
pleasantly.
"The air here is very good, L as
sure you, gentlemen" replied the
General. "We generally have itsix
degrees cooler than in the city on
these hot days, but with the draw
back that it is proportionately cold
cr in winter"
"But we think" continued Mr..
Kenyon, "that the air of Washing
ton is better adapted to your con-
stitution."
Il have been in Washington a
good DEAL" said the General, smil-
ing, "but L don't think 1 would care
much to be there in such hot wealth
er as this
"Where | board" said another
gentleman of the delegation, "there
are thirteen Republicans, and nine of
them avowed their determination
to give you their vote at the coming
election"
This remark was another in
fringement on delicate ground, and
was not followed up from a desire,
no doubt, to spare the General fur
ther embarrassment. The party at
once withdrew, evidently highly
pleased with their visit, and it
would require no stretch of fancy
to say that the General himself
must, doubtless, have been pleased.

How to Spoil Girls.

A girl that is never allowed TO
sew, all of whose clothes are made
for her and put on her until she is
ten, fifteen, or eighteen years OF
age. is spoiled. The mother has
spoiled her by doing everything for
her. The true idea Of self res
traint is to let the child venture. A
child's mistakes are often better
than its no mistakes; because when
a child make mistakes and she has
to correct them, it is then Oh the
way of knowing Something A
CHILD that is walked up every morn
ing, and never wakes itself up; and
is dressed, and never makes mis-
takes in dressing itself; and is
washed, and never makes mistakes
about being clean; and is fed, ard
never has anything TO do with its
food; and is cared for, kept al
day from doing wrong---auch O
child may as well be out If exis-
tence
