!
A. T. Stewart & Co.'s
STOCK
Drew eager buyers from all parts of our coety
and State, filling the commodious
warerooms of
HALE BROS. & CO.,
So much so that standing room at times was at a premium. The
simple announcement of the IMMENSE STOCK that was to be !
sacrificed was sufficient of itself to arouse the enthusiasm of the
people, and at no time in the history of this city has there been
such a commercial panic. A word with reference to the House of
A. T. STEWART & CO., and how we secured the prize :
THE ANNOUNCEMENT
MADE IN NEW YORK, SOME FIVE WEEKS AGO, THAT THE
MAGNIFICENT STOCK OF A. T. STEWART & CO. WOULD BE
DISPOSED OF AT LARGE DISCOUNTS, UNTIL THE ENTIRE
STOCK WAS SOLD, CREATED NO LITTLE EXCITEMENT IN
THE DRY GOODS CIRCLES OF NEW YORK. OUR BUYER, '
MR. 0. C. HALE, BEING IN NEW YORK, AND REALIZING THE
SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY OF OBTAINING BARGAINS, MADE
i A\ THOROUGH INVESTIGATION OF THE STOCK. BEING
AMONG THE FIRST THERE HE MADE HIS SELECTION FROM
THE MOST DESIRABLE STOCK, AND OUT OF THE LARGEST
HOUSE IN AMERICA. AT THE TIME OF A. T. STEWART'S
DEATH, THE FIRM OWNED FIFTEEN MILLS IN THIS COUNTRY, .
BESIDES HAVING A BRANCH HOUSE IN EVERY COUNTRY
IN EUROPE; IN FACT, MR. STEWART STOOD SELF-MADE -
THE GREATEST AND MOST SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS MAN
THE WORLD EVER SAW. HIS SUCCESSOR, JUDGE HILTON,
ALTHOUGH POSSESSED OF MILLIONS OF MONEY, HAD NOT
THE BUSINESS EXPERIENCE 05k#lS PREDECESSOR, AND
NOW, AFTER THREE SHORT YEARS, HE BECOMES TIRED OF
ITS WORRY AND RESPONSIBILITY, AND HAS RESOLVED
TO "TURN INTO CASH" THE STORES AND STOCK, TOGETHER
WITH THE VARIOUS MILLS AND FOREIGN BRANCHES, SO.
THAT HENCEFORTH THE NAME OF A. T. STEWART & CO.,
ALTHOUGH IMMORTALIZED, WILL NO LONGER ADORN THE
PORTALS OF THAT ELEGANT BUILDING THAT COVERED A
WHOLE BLOCK IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK.
EARLY ON THE MORNING FOLLOWING THE ANNOUNCE-
MENT, OUR BUYER ENTERED THEIR ESTABLISHMENT, AND
INTIMATED THAT HE HAD SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS
IN CASH TO INVEST IN DRY GOODS, PROVIDING THE IN-
DUCEMENT WAS GREAT ENOUGH. OUR FIRM BEING WELL
AND FAVORABLY KNOWN TO THAT HOUSE, FROM THE FACT
OF OUR MR. M. HALE, Sit. OWNING FIVE STORES IN NEW
YORK STATE (AFTER THE SYSTEM OF HALES FIVE CALL
FORNIA STORES ESTABLISHED IN THIS STATE), OUR BUYER
WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD DO ALL IN THEIR
POWER TO SELL HIM ALL THE GOODS THAT HE WOULD
BUY. SUCH WERE THE INDUCEMENTS TO PURCHASE,
THAT HE BOUGHT FULLY THREE TIMES MORE GOODS THAN
HE HAD ORIGINALLY INTENDED.
The consequence is we are overloaded with goods, and must sell.
The public apparently hive realized this fact also, for the goods are
! going with a rapidity that far eclipses anything in all our business
career,
THERE ARE
BARGAIIffS
Among this lot that surprise the oldest DEY GOODS MEN in our
House, so oall early and take advantage of this
WONDERFUL SPECIAL SALE.

And golden hair,
She is dearer unto me
Than another e'er could be,
And more fair.

For us t«o.
" What do I love her for '!" Ah ! well,
That I can't exactly tell,
But I do.

In the love-light of her eyes ;

Of her tender, rosy lips.

IMPORTING AN ELEPHANT.
The advent of Jumbo calls to mind an
elephant story of many years ago. In the
year 1833 the ships Cashmere, ; Captain
Elias Davison, and the Sachem, Captain
Albert Brown, were loading their cargoes
of sugar at Bankok, Siam. Davison, who
died only recently, was a genial, whole
souled fellow, a great wit, a practical
joker, and wherever he went always made
friends. The owner of the Cashmere,
Alfred Richardson, was distinguished for
no one of these qualities. He was stern
and morose, his ' prevailing . characteristic
being an inordinate love of money and a
disposition to squeeze it out of his em
ployes on all favorable occasions. Davison
had, by his pleasant manner, so in
gratiated himself with his consignee at
Siam that he was presented by him with a
rather extraordinary "cumshaw," ore not
usually received with thanks, but a pres
ent that was really valuable if it could be
brought safely horne — an elephant. It was
a baby elephant just weaned, and as it re
quired by no means such extensive accom
modations as those allotted to Jumbo, the
Captain stowed him away under the main
hatch, where there was plenty of room for
him, and, the ship not being full of sugar,
boxed the hatch around with a rough sort
of ventilator, laid in a extra supply of wa
ter, rice and such other elephant suste
nance as the passenger required, congratu
lated himself on the probability of a suc
cessful adventure, and got under way for
Boston.
In the meantime, while these prepara
tions were going on, the Sachem had com
pleted her cargo and sailed. Having a start
of a week, and being a somewhat faster
ship, she arrived about ten days before the
Cashmere, and reported her ; for it mnst
be remembered that there were no tele
graphs or even steamships in those days.
Five months were often occupied in bring
ing the news. So when Captain Brown ar
rived he brought the latest intelligence
from Davison, and among other things told
of the "cumshaw." -
When the Cashmere passed Boston light
the wind was ahead, and, the tide soon
running ebb, she anchored in Nantucket
[toads. Tugboats being unknown, the
Captain left the ship in charge of the pilot,
to be brought up to town on the next day,
and took a shore boat himself. He was a
prompt business mau, and knowing that
his owner appreciated this quality, he
brought his papers and accounts with him,
and presented himself at the office imme
diately on landing. He had made a good
voyage ; the price of sugar was high, and
so he received a cordial greeting. The
papers were at once produced.
"Here are my disbursements and my
accounts current," said Captain Davison.
" You will find them all correct, sir. I
overdrew a little, and there is a balance
due you of S3C4 25."
- Mi. Richardson scanned the documents,
carefully added up the columns and pro
nounced them satisfactory. " Except one
thing, Captain. You have not allowed me
any freight on that elephant."
"Elephant!" returned the Captain,
" Who told you I had an elephant !" ■
"Oh, I know all about it," replied Mr.
Richardson; "and I didn't think you
would try to smuggle him in tfiis way."
Davison did not permit himself to show
any resentment, but calmly argued that
the elephant was presented to him, that he
occupied room otherwise vacant, and that
he provided at his own cost for his food
and water.
" 'T won't do, 'twon't do, sir," replied
the calculating shipowner, "the ship is
mine, and I shall charge you freight — or,"
he added after some reflection, "I will
take the elephant over for my account.
He ought to bring a good price at a show,
and you had that object in view, hadn't
you ? "
Captain Davison acknowledged that he
had.
" Well," replied Mr. Richardson, " peo
ple speak of me as being close, and all
that, but I'll show you that I am not.
There 1 I'll take him over and square
our account."
"I'm in your power, Mr. Richardson,"
replied the Captain, mournfully; "but it
is hard on me, for I did think when I got
the elephant that I would get $2,000 for
him at least. Can't you make it any
more?"
Mr. Richardson was a pious man, but he
answered, "Not one — cent!" and so the
bargain was completed.
On the next day the Cashmere came up
to the city. Mr. Richardson and the Cap
tain stood upen the wharf, the latter
superintending the hauling in.
"Mr. Hallett," shouted the owner to
the chief mate, "you might as well be get
ting up a tackle to hoist out the elephant."
"Aye, aye, sir," returned the mate;
" as soon as she is in at the wharf."
Mind, be careful not to hurt him," re
turned the owner, thinking of the two or
three thousand dollars in store for him.
Whereupon Captain Davison disre
spectfully punched his elbow into the
owner's side and whispered in his ear :
" Guess he can't be hurt much. He died
day before yesterday off Cape Cod. He'll
look well stuffed and it won't cost you
anything to feed him."
It was the old Captain's last voyage, and
he felt independent. He made more than
$364 25 out of that dead elephant, for he
used afterward in his subsequent career of
wharfinger on Granite wharf to spin this
yarn and lie back in his chair laughing
with a laugh tbat prolonged his life at the
remembrance of the way in which he
squared his account.— [New York Evening
Post.
IT RATHER SURPRISES THEM.
.J A strange city is Chicago. Forty- three
years ago there were 4,170 residents in
this village ; now there are more than half
a million. Forty-eight yeara ago the first
schooner sailed into its river ; this year
12,000 vessels enter it, and in the season of
navigation more vessels enter this river
than enter the three largest Atlantic ports
during the same months. Less than fifty
years ago the final treaty with the Indians
was made, involving the title to this re
gion ; to-day there are more voluntary
transfers of real estate annually than in
New York, Philadelphia and Boston com
bined, Less than eighty years ago the
first white man took up his residence
here ; day this immense city covers more
than 50 square miles of densely populated
area. The pioneers all built of logs ; now
there is sent from this port lumber enough
to fill a continuous freight train from here
to Boston, and from Boston to Washington.
It is but a little time since the first settler
kept a pig in his own " sty," now the city
slaughters and ships enough h0..?) to make
a continuous line from Boston to San Fran
cisco, back to Boston, and Chicago again.
Thirty-two years ago the first railroad was
built here ; now there are 10,000 miles of
railroad with headquarters in this city.
Twenty-three years ago the first horse-car
was seen in the streets ; now there are a
hundred and thirty miles of continuous
horse railway tracks. Less than fifty years
ago the first driving carriage was seen in
the streets. To-day the finest liveries of
the county arc here. Forty-seven yeara
ago the first bank was established on a
primitive scale ; to-day one dry goods
house sells over twenty millions dollars
■ worth of goods annually. . Fifty years ago
: the first school was opened in a room
; twelve feet square, with store boxes for
! benches ; to-day in addition to the num
! berless public schools there are fifty col
: leges, universities, theological seminaries
: and charitable institutions in the city.
Fifty years ago next August, the first Sun-
I day-school in the city was organized, before
there was a school-house, church, or minis-
I ter in the settlement. There were present
I fifteen scholars, mostly the children of the
French and half-breed-reaidents.— [Boston

Edam was abandaned to her fate. The

If yon begin pruning fruit and orna

One is sometimes troubled when frying
cakes by a sediment forming in the lard,
which darkens it and sticks to the outside
of the cakes. To remedy this, peel and

lard. They will readily absorb the black
particles, and yon can easily take them
out with a skimmer and not waste the

. A good way to regulate a child's stom

A rout of beef can be greatly improved
in flavor and made much more tender if

out all the juice, removing the pips. Then
peel off the rind as you pare an apple with
a sharp knife and put under the ribs or sir
loin of the beef. Let the beef roast for
half an hour without any water in the
dripping pan, as the lemon juice will be
sufficient to keep it from burning. Then
add the usual amount of boiling water and
baste it very frequently. Pepper the roMt

A Tres of Irou.— The iron palmetto is j
the greatest work of art in the State House j
yard, Charleston, S. C. This is a casting i
wholly of iron, commemorating the death j
of many of Carolina's slain, whose names
are found in raised letters on two brass !
tablets at the bMe. The success of this \
casting consists in its perfect imitation of :
the living palmetto, the favorite tree of j
South Carolina. We had heard of this '
statue in other places, but had never been
able to believe the stories of the flexible
leaves bending in the breeze, supposing j
this phenomena an optical delusion, but j
such is really the case. The long, thin
leaves of iron, life-like fibers of the twigs
and branches, wave tremulously in every
zephyr, and the whole tree, painted artisti
cally, has so close a resemblance to the real
tree M to deceive the acutest observer at
the distance of five rods. These sad me
mentos of a sadder put cause all the
petty triumphs of victorious arms to sink
into pitiable insignificance, an.l only this
pathetic tribute to the memory of fallen
believers in the lost cause, whose faith wa*
sealed in their own blood, remains to tell
of woe and heart-breaking sorrow which
has fallen like a pall of midnight darkness
overall the South. — [Colombia Letter in

A DAKOTA YARN.
When a man becomes so morose or hard,
I hearted that he cannot sit down now and
; then and indulge in a laugh, he needs re
| pairing. Laughter sweetens the temper.
I Just read this account of a Dakota farm
and see if it does : _
" Yes, sir," resumed the Dakota man,
i as a crowd of agriculturists seated them
selves around a little table ; "yes, sir, we
do things on rather a sizable scale. I've
seen a man on one of our big farms start
out in the spring and plow a furrow until
fall. Then he turned round and harvested
back. We have some big farms up there,
gentlemen. A friend of mine owned one
on which he had to give a mortgage, and
the mortgage was due on one end before
they could get it recorded on the other.
You see it was laid off in counties."
There was a murmer of astonishment,
and the Dakota man continued :
"I got a letter from a man who lives in
I my orchard, just before I left home, and it

Tin. Population in France,— cen.
sus returns recently published in Franca
are well calculated to arrest attention.
During the last live jears the net increase
of population has been only 520.000, or
282,000 less than in the years 1871-1876.
at this rate another ten years would wit
ness an actual decrease, and the import
ance of the fact may lie seen by remem
he-ring that Germany, in spite of emigra
tion, has ii-creased her population by two
millions since 187»;. The French returns
are not less interesting when the aggregate
figures are analyzed. Of the total increase
m much m sixty -five per cent, wm in the
population of Paris alone, and the other
large towns account for the remainder. It
is clear, therefore, that a system of peas
ant proprietors is not of itself adequate
to stem the tide of migration into the
cities. Another fact which may be
recommended ;to the study of politi
cal economists is that the greatest dc.
crease of population has occurred in
the most prosperous districts, such as
Normandy and the valleys of the Garonne,
while on the poor soil of Bretagne and
Haute Vienna there has been a slight in
crease. Agricultural districts have not
generally been taken as instances of places
"where wealth accumulates and men de
cay."
The Salioylic Tp._batm.est of Rheu
matism.—Dr. Maclagao, of England, who
introduced the salicylic treatment of rheu
matism, has recently published a work de
fending the treatment and insisting on its
advantages over every other method. Of
the thirty salicylic compounds, bat two
besides salicine itself are employed — sali
cylic acid and salicylate of soda. After an
ample trial, carried through several years
of practice, he concludes that in rheuma
tism thirty grains of salicine should be
given every hour until pain abates, and
then every two hoars during the day for a
few days, and afterwards gradually with
drawn. He insists on the large doses ss
necessary to develop the full benefits of the
medicine. Much complaint has been made
in various quarters of the failure of the
j salicylic treatment, and it is quite probable
that this has resulted from insufficient
doses. Wo ourselves have generally been
! content with fifteen or twenty-grain doses
! every two hours in the form of salicylate of
soda, from which good results follow in the
large proportion of cases.— [Pacific Medical
