An Anecdote of Stephen Girard.

Seeing q story about old Stephen Gil
rard the other day reminds me of III
incident that shows one of his pecu-
liarities, says a writer in the Globe
Democrat. Girard had a draylnan
who WAS decidedly a poor man. One
day the drayman, who was an indus
trious, bright fellow, with a good
many mouths to Eli at home, was
heard to remark that he wished he
a rich, whats that ?" sharply
said Girard, who heard the glumble.
"Oh," said the man, II was only
wishing | was rich "Well, why
don't you get rich ~ said the million
aire harshly. II don't know how
without money! returned the dray,
man. "You don't need money!" said
Girard. "Well, if you win tell me
how to get rich without money | won't
let the grass grow before trying it,
returned the other" There is going to
be a ship-loa2 of confscated tea sold
at auction tomorrow at the wharf; go
down there and buy it in and then
come to me.n The man laughed. Il

tCd WIN, iC Sdih. iou UOn L HCpu
any money, tell yo1," snapped the
old man. $50 down and bid in the
whole cargo, and then come to me-"
The next day the. drayman went down
to the sale. A large crowd of re alters
were present and the auctioner said
that those bidding would have the
privilege OF taking cue case or the
whole shipload, and that the bidding
would be on the pound. He then be-
gan the sale. Aretail grocer started
the bidding and the drayman raised
him. On seeing this the crowd gazed
with 10 small amount .of surprise.
When the case was knocked down to
the drayman the auctioneer said he
supposed the buyer only desired one
case. "Tll take the whole shipload,n
coolly returned the successful bidder.
The auctioneer was astonished, but on
some one whispering to him that it
was Girarl's nan who was the speaker
his manner changed, and lie said he
supposed it vas all right. The news
soon spread that Girard was buying
tea in large quantities, and the next
day the price rose several cents. ''Go
and sell your tea" said Girard to the
.lrayman the next day. The drayman
was shrewt, aud he went out andmade
contracts with several brokers' to take
the stock at Il shade below the market
price, thereby making a quick sale.
In. "a few hours he was worth $4,000.
