Mrs. stewards Fortune.

There is great anxiety among the reia-
tives of Mrs. A. T. Stewart, who died
last Monday, to know how she has dis
posed of her property. When the great
merchant, A. I. Stewart, died in 1876 his
estate was estimated tn be worth any.
where between 10000, 900 and $40 O00. 900.
The whole OF it was left 10 his wife, with
the exception Of $l.O00,O0O, which was
given TO judge Hilton, who was author.
ICED to settle up the estate and look after
the property.
1t is not believed that the estate has
increased in value very much. The best
opinion appears to be that II it were
turned into cash it would yield about
$50. 100000. Nobody, however, except
Judge Hilton knows much about it. 1t is
said that the Fifth avenue marble palace,
with its works of art and furniture, cost
about $5.O00,000. Mrs. Stewart was a
liberal woman and gave money freely
to her relatives. To quite number of
them she gave annually $4,000 year
each.
The impression is that she has provided
for all of her relations very hanjsOm ly,
though it is stated that they are afraid

sion OF Judge Hill on.
OF course it is the right of every man
to dispose of his property as he peases.
but 1t would seem as If Mr.. Stewart would
nave acted more wisely if be had left a
part of his great wealth to be applied ia
the founding Of a great institution OF
some sort to alleviate suffering, adj.
vance the cause OF education, or promote
the comfort and happiness OF the
masses. In Jew years the name OF A. T.
Stewart will be almost forgotten, while
those OF Peter Cooper and Samuel j. Til
d n will be household words, although The
wealth OF neither was hardly one-ilth as
great as that of Mr.. Stewart.

A Shoemaker Wins SIS, 900.

New York Tribune, Feb 10th.
Frederick scharf, soehmaker Of No. 704
DeKalb avenue, Brooklyn, has suddenly found
himself possessed Of troops Of friendly. Men
who formerly paid no attention to him, have
been exceedingly afrable and anxious about
his welfare. This change has been brought
about by what he regards as a piece Of cxcep-
tional good luck. a few days ago he received
notice that a lottery ticket, of which he owned
one-ffth part, had drawn the capital prize O!
S75,00O, emitting him to $4,000. He expects
to receive the money this week. Scharf is a
poor, Woodworking man with no family, who
barely earned his own support by his trade
and who found his only luxury in drinking a
social glass Of beer with some friends. One Of
these named Meyers, one day bantered him to
buy lottery ticket. Scharf at first refused,
but Meyers told him that he had bought one
fifth Of a ticket for 81, and urged Seharf to do
the same. After some delay the shoemaker
did 50. One day last week the two men got a
list of the lucky numbers, and Scharf's was
among them. file proposes to give Meyers 81
600, and give supper to his friends. What
to do with the rest Of the money he has not de-
cided, although a multitude Of advisers are
seeking to give him wisdom.

HollyhockS.

BY MARY A. p. sTANSRURY.
A Haunting, graccless flower you sayf
All, WELL 1t may be so;
And still ii seems but yesterday,
That morning long ago,
| almost see the cottage yet,
The winding path-and Margaret.
A light-winged breeze sailed gently by;
The lark's clear note afar,
Thro' the blue spaces of the sky,
Slid like falling star
never saw her look so fair;
All, If told her would she carel
Within scarlet hollyhock,
A pollen-laden bee,
Deep plunging made the blossom rock.
She flashed a smile at me,
And with motion swift and light
She caught the silken petals tight
Loud hummed the bee with angry wing
"Why thus so i'll contenti
The sweets you sought, poor foolish thing"
She said: "are all misspent"
Ny heart leaped up to hear her speak;
A sudden courage dyed my cheek
'.Darlingr cried, "Oh, let him fly,
And take me in his place!
Fast prisoned in your heart could
Ask any sweeter gracel
could not struggle to be free,
So dear jailer holds the key"
Her cheeks flushed like op'ning rose,
No words her lips did say
l saw her little hand unclose,
The glad bee flew away.
All, me! twas forty years ago
My hair is gray-yet lis know:
I've roamed thro' many garden bowers
And blooming fields since then
H. summer wildwood gathered flowers,
And in the mountain glen
Pulled harebells from the moss-grown rock
Yet most love the hollyhock.
