A. T. Stewart.

was talking, yesterday, says COR
respondent of The Atlanta COnSt,tu-
tom, with gentleman who had been
an intimate friend of A. r. Stewart the
greatest merchant perhaps that this
country ever knew, and he threw new
light on his history. Contrary to
general belief, Stewart started with
comfortable fortune, and did not
work his way from the ground up.
He came TO this country as a Young
man, sent on a pleasure trip by his
father He was close observer and
leisurely traveller, aud went home thor
oughly posted as to this country
Having TO return to America very soon,
he recalled the fact that there was a
fine margin OF profit between the price
of laces in the old country and this.
He therefore invested 1925, 600, his patr-
mony, in laces and brought them over
on his second trip, This speculation
turned ont SO well that he had another
lot sent over, and opened shop from
which he might dispose Of them. .
Stewart was man Of confirmed suber-
stitions. He would never eat at a table
at which thirteen people were seated
and on one occasion when guest who
had declined coming TO his usual Sun
day dining and afterward came when
his place had been filled he declined to
receive him rs he made the number
thirteen, He finally determined to
overcome this superstition, and dined
at a table at which thirteen were seated.
He died few weeks afterward, but |
very much doubt if that was what kill
ed him. He never wanted his photo
graph taken, saying; people who
buy goods from me think ! am noble
looking man with flowing whiskerS and
gray beard, They'd lose faith in my
prestige if they become familiar with
my insignificant face He was shop
keeper all his life, and the shopping in
Stinct never left him, He once dropped
into Tillanys and saw friend examin-
ing some pearls that he was thinking of
buying for his wife. Stewart caught
hold of him and hurried him out before
he had time to close the trade. Once
down stairs he got him into his coupe
and insisted on his going to his store
with him. He hurried him upstairs to
the lace department, took out an
especial pattern and said: Now, that's
whatyou want to buy fory your wife" and
he sold it TO him At this very time
Stewart was worth millions and would
have given the friend he had cajoled
into buying twenty times the price of
the lace, but the selling instinct was
stronger in him than anything else.
learned from my informant that Stew
arts body had never been recovered.
Judge Hilton could have had it at
almost any time, provided he would
have paid the required ransom, He
refused TO do this, however, on the
ground that if he did so the business
of graye-robbing. having proved pro-
fitable, would have become popular
among thieves.

A recent letter from Marietta, O., re-

William b. Woods during his incum-
bency of the Spcakership of the Ohio
Legislature In 1859: "He made an
excellent Speaker, whose good sense
and ready wit won for him reputation
rarely obtained by so young a member
of the Legislature Many are the an
ecdotes remembered of him during his
Legislative career. On one occasion a
rural member came into the hall after
a few days leave of absence, with his
No. y brogans covered with the soil of
his native hills, and, taking his seat,
fell back in his chair like a tired drover,
placing his feet on his desk. Not en-
tirely satisfied with this conspicuous
attraction, he soon raised one boot and
placed the heel on the toe of the other,
thus standing, as it were two feet in his
boots. The Speakers eye was attract
ed in that direction at once, and he
called out; The gentleman from -
which partially awakened the rural
man, who peered out from behind his
boots and informed the Speaker that
he had not addressed the chair, to
which Woods replied: 4 thought you
did; | saw you were standing up The
House came down, and so did the
