Special Correspondence Of the Tixzs]
New York, August l, 1882.
1t has been matter of considerable
curiosity to know what was to be done
with Stewards marble store. l spoke
of this in a former letter, as being
solely an elephant, that there seemed
to be no use for it. It is now re-
ported that new partnership is to be
formed, comprising Judge Hilton's
son and several of the old employees
of the store, to continue the business
under the Old name of A. T. Stewart
Il 20. Mrs. Stewart is said to object
to the old name being allowed to die
oat, and perhaps she backs up her
claims by furnishing a part of the
necessary capital. The young men
must be cautious; they cannot make
money out Of the name of the dead mer-
chant, unless they have an inheritance
of some of his brains to accompany
the same.
Meantime, l hear that the old store
at the corner of Chambers street, is to
be raised two or three floors, and
turned into offices, which is the best
use that can be made of it. Office
property down town pays handsome
dividends, and although the building
is out Of the range Of the most active
demand, it should command profitable
figures.
PALACE CARS FOR HEAVEN.
l see another one of our city church
organizations has arranged to build a
new church OH the corner of Madison
Avenue and an uptown street-right
among the nabobs. OF course, it is
to have all the modern improvements,
and it is announced that it is to be
fitted up in a style bcftting the swell
proclivities ofits surroundings. No end
of money is to be spent in making it
comfortable and attractive for the
so they can go to church
in style, and worship God with all the
luxuries of the times. 1t will be no
place for poor man or woman. The
gliding and the carving, and the ele-
CANT upholstery are not for them.
They can take the ordinary coaches
or the emigrant cars on the heavenly
road, if they can find them. This is
one of the palace cars for the New
Jerusalem, and if any poor traveller
who wants to get there, happen to
venture in he will be informed by the
pompous porter-I mean the sexton
that the seats are all engaged for the
at price for each one that
would send one hundred poor children
to the country for fortnight, or keep
a poor family from want for a year.
We must have this thing in style, you
see, and must draw the line between
the rich, and the rest of the world,
even in our churches. Otherwise we
might find somebody possessing less
than half million in the next com.
partment to us, as we neared the
golden gate, and that would be too
for anything to some of the
Murray Hill Christians.
A SUNDAY WASH.
Down on the Jersey coast there are
several places originally selected for
,amp-meeting grounds. Having been
located for comfort and con.
senience, the projectors found they
could make money by creating water
out of the camp-meeting
grounds. Cottages and boarding
places have multiplied within these
boundaries. Strict rules for the
preservation of the morality of the
have been laid down,
and in general they are very COM
by keeping out drinking
saloons and other Objectionable fea-
ures. But sometimes the regulations
