A, T. Stewards Effects.

The last material glory of the Stewart
mansion in New Y ork had departed forever
Friday when the massive rosewood furni
ture of its sleeping apartments was carried
to Fifth Avenue auctlOn-roOm A year
ago the Stewart cellars gaveup their stores
of Wine Then the mansion itself was leased
to the Manhattan Club.
A few months ago the collection Of statu-
airy was sold to Judge Hilton. There still
remained furniture enough to furnish al
most any other two New York mansions.
Each article was masterpiece, constructed
by hand after special designs, but it was
useless to the club. A good deal Of it would
be out of place in almost any other resi-
dence in the country.
The great feature of this collection is a
bed which the merchant had made express
" for the use of President Grant. 1t took a
dozen skilled workmen nearly six months
to make this bed for the single nights re-
pose of President. Stewards fame was al
its zenith then. He was the greatest mer-
chant in the world. He had sent shiploads
of corn to famished Ireland. he had lavish
ed thousands in charity at home, he had
confidence of the President and his cabinet
The President was to visit New York, and
Stewart was to entertain him at his man
sion. The date was several months dis
tant, and the merchant gave orders to a
celebrated firm of furniture designers for
the most massive and costly bed-chamber
suit ever made for an American resident
In good time it was finished.
The wonderful bed was placed in the
State sleeping apartment of the mansion
and one night for six and a-half hours the
form of President Grant was stretched
upon It, In the Fifth Avenue auction-room
the famous Stewart furniture is arranged
with an effect calculated to impress the
prospective bidder, conscious of his exceed
mo inSipnificauca On either side of the
entrance are the tremendous hall stands.
The ceiling of the auction-room is seven
teen feet from the floor. If it were six
inches lower the hall stands would haye
to remain on the sidewalk OF be laid igno-
miniously on their sides, in which case they
would touch an eight-foot ceiling. Then
increasing in magnificence, as the prospec-
tive bidder advances toward the desk,
where he is expected to leave his deposit,
are the ordinary solid rosewood chamber
suits, the carved rosewood beds of MI. and
Mrs. tewart, and the Italian marquetry
irIai bed made for President Grant.
Besides these there are rosewood ward
robes, fifteen feet high, ten feet broad and
yard deep. But the Grant bed is the gem
headpiece towers to the ceiling. Its cor
nices and pediments are rich with carven
fruits and flowers, and delicate lines OF
white and black in Italian marquetry are
traced everywhere. In the centre of the
upper panel of the head-piece are the
Stewart arms, lion rampant carved in
rosewood. The large panel directly below
above the sleeper's head, contains what,
even on close inspection, seems to be an oil
painting-the tints are the most delicate
and the drawing perfect-but it is in mar
quetry work, even to the clouds and flowing
hair of the beautiful myth of the morning.

BALLAD or THE COUNTRY.

Mehitable Jane can erect a fence
On a most extravagant plan;
In popping of corn she's very immense,
But she never yet popped DER man.
She can puncture drift or guide plow
Or build up good mince pie;
But when she gets down to ethics, trow,
She ism s SO awfully fly.
She can take away straw from the threshing ma
chine,
Or round up stack with the best;
She's off on the style Of society's queen,
But on dunplings she rakes all the rest
Two handed she'll milk big dairy of COWS.
And strain it all through felt hat;
But she's reticent some on Baconian rows,
And on Browning, alas! she is fat
She can mend all the socks and the trousers in
reach
And do a big washing aplomb;
She can wiring a hens neck and give never
screech,
But on Swinburne the poor girl is dumb.
She can scrub big kitchen and wallop the kids
And start them away to the school;
But tackle her on what the last fashion bids
And the subject will show her fool.
Lusty limbed, rosy checked is Mehitable Jane.
Built up from the ground on plan
Of grandiloquent size, which, alas! giveth pain
To the putty faced little club man.
But take her at home, where she reigns as o
queen,
And her like over often you'll find;
Where the clover is sweet, WELL she isn't SO
Where the eye of old nature is kind.

Spontaneous Combustion of Hay.

After series of very careful experiments
Prof. COIN of Breslau, has found that the
heating of damp hay to temperature SUI
iicient to cause spontaneous combustion Of
it is due to fungus. He first studied the
heat-generating action of Aspergillws .taa,si-
gatuss, which has the bad reputation of
ton and of rendering it sterile. Through
the effect of the respiration of the little
germ, that is to say, through the combus-
ton OF the starch and other hydrocarbu-
rets which the diastasic ferment converts
into maltese and dextrine, the tempera-
ture is raised by about 400. The heating
OF the germs to more than 600 occurs only
through the Intervention Of the AspergilLats,
which acts as a ferment. Under these
it reaches its greatest develop
ment and produces its maximum action.
In this state it rapidly burns the hydrocar-
burets.-La Petite Reoale.
