The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1884-05-15

A. T. Stewart, the New York mer-
chant prince, made large sales to the
Government during the war for the
suppression Of the rebellion, and he
displayed his gratitude by making Mrs.
Lincoln handsome presents. He was
also q large contributor to the fund OF
800, 900 raised by the merchants OF
New York for Gen. Grant as an ac-
acknowledgement of his war services; and
when the General was elected Presi-
dent Mr.. Stewart was selected by him
as the man to reorganize the Treasury
Department, prune of its excrescences
and reform its abuses. Mr.. Stewart
was delighted with the offer, and had
suite of rooms in the Ebbitt House,
with a private entrance, fitted up for
his occupation until he could go to
housekeeping. A few days before the
4th of March he came to Washington
and occupied these rooms, with Judge
Hilton as his companion and adviser.
After the Inauguration he was nom-
mated by Gen. Grant; but Senator
Sumner, who had been consulted as to
the formation of the Cabinet, inter
posed his objection to the immediate
consideration of Mr.. Stewards nomina-
tion. Late in the afternoon of that
day rumor got abroad that there was
q law, understood to have been really
written by Alexander Hamilton while
Secretary of the Treasury, prohibiting
an importer in active business from
holding the position of Secretary OF
the Treasury. A newspaper corre-
spondent obtained a copy OF the law
bearing on the case and carried 1t to
Gen. Butterfeld, who conveyed 1t to
Mr.. Stewart and his legal adviser,
Judge Hilton. They consulted Chief
Justice Chase, and he confirmed the
view which had been taken of the law
by those who first brought it to Mr..
Stewards attention. Mr.. Stewart then
proposed to retire from business and
devote the entire profits that might ac-
crue during the time that he should
hold the Office of Secretary of the
Treasury to charitable objects. But
this was decided to be something which
would not be proper, either for him to
carry out or for the Government to ac-
cept. Immediately after seeing Chief
Justice Chase Mr.. Stewart and Judge
Hilton drove to the White House and
laid the facts and opinions before the
President, who, on the next day, wrote
a message to the Senate, asking that
the law of 1883 be set aside SO as to
allow the candidate to hold the Office.
This the Senate declined to do. 1t was
a very natural ambition for man of
Mr.. Stewards tastes and training to de-
sire to be at the head of the Treasury,
and it is not unlikely that the disap-
pointment was very severe one. This
was the beginning of the unpleasant
ness" between President Grant and
Senator Sumner, which finally resulted
in an open rupture. Ben: PerIeJ

SpOllgeS.

We don't mean those sponges that
grow I'm the bottom of the sea, ard
which afford food for much scientific
speculation, as to whether they are ami
NAL or vegetable. No, the sponges of
tinctly animal, and are of both sexes.
We all suffer from them. Bores and
sponges are necessary evils, we sup
pose, but not any more to be admired
for all that.
Editors could tale unfold of the
way some people get their advertising
done for nothing, and lawyers could tell
of tons of legal advice given by them
without receiving the slightest acknowl-
edgment, pecuniary or otherwise. Doc
tors. also, are the victims of these ques-
TONERS. Generally it is only the younger
members of these professions who suf-
fer. Men old in the tricks of these
friendly sponges manage to evade them,
but the young editor. lawyer, or doctor,
though he knows he is being defrauded,
has not the courage to cut short the
confidential chat, by saving that he
hopes to make his living by receiving
pay for that which his friend expects to
get for the asking.
No one expects n carpenter, black
smith, jeweler, or any one who plies a
trade, to do tne smallest job for moth
ing, and yet those who willingly
pay for such labor seem to think they
have done nothing of which TO be
ashamed if they manage" to get le-
gal or medical advice without having
to pay for 1t.
And among women the fault is as
great. We have heard women boast of
knowing all kinds of fancy work and
never paid cent for lessons" Their
desire to learn fancy work was greater
than their delicacy of feeling.
Women who make their living by
dress-making, millinery, teaching fancy
work, or painting, are daily imposed
upon by friends and strangers who
come to them for suggestions and adj
vice about mat rial, shades, designs,
and patterns--defrauding the worker
of hours of valuable time without a
thought of paying for the alvice gwen,
and often do not even thank the person
for the suggestion which she has spent
time and money in acquiring.
otrange 10 say, tnese spOnBeS are
oftenest found among those who could
well afford to pay for what they want !;
aud stranger still is the fact that they
would resent, with the greatest indig-
nation. refusal to oblige them, or an
intimation that they were taking adj
vantage of another's politeness, and
thus getting for nothing that which the
gver has a right to expect something
more subs antial for than mere thanks.

WHY He Is iii.

One night Lord Randolph Churchill
and some Acknowledgement were stand
ing on the Thames embankment, ut a
friends garden gate, when Big Ben
struck midnight. Some one remarked
upon the deliberateness of the ringing,
and wondered whether a man could run
from there to the Tower steps before
tire last note was struck. The young
Tory leader thought he could; a wager
was made. the following night was APP
pointed for the enterprise, and Lord
Randolph won; but he so over-exerted
himself that the others had to carry
him to bed, and next day his physician
ordered him off to Gastein.

Files.

In file twelve inches long, the first
six inches from the point does the most
of the work. In machine-cut file the
teeth of this part are shorter, and in
practice will not bite as we'll as they
will further up. This is because of the
shape of the files, in many instances
making it impossible for the machine to
work on all parts with the same effec-
tiveness. Out of dozen or more ma
chine-cut files you will not find more
than one that is perfect-looking, and
very few machine-cut files will bite as
well as the hand-cut article. For this
reason their teeth break ont less easily
because thew won't bite
