THE SALT MIXJSS OF XETABA. If the salt formations of Nevada were

in railroad communication, says the San

Francisco Bulletin, there would be no

market in this country for the foreign article. In Lincoln County, on the Bio

Virsrin. there is a deposit of pure rock

bowing greenly in the sun; the monotony

of the cultivated fields relieved occasionally

by expanses of meadow and pasture land,

with horses and cattle grazing lazily upon

them. A beautiful scene of country thrift

and quiet, the halo of a greot peace rest

ing upon all like a benediction, and wo sensitive nature of the young girl, ued to

it though she was, drank it all in as they

drove along.

still quite a number gathered together,

talking and whittling, under the spacious norch in front of the store of "Peden &

conspicuous sign declared. They drove up

to the platform in front, and she felt, per

haps slyly saw, that he was among the erowd. She never knew how it happened,

but somehow, in getting out of the wagon

onto the platform, with a pan of butter in her arms; a feat that she had accomplished

time and asain before, and without a

"bobble," she tripped and fell; was falling,

fNw York special. Cornelia M. Stewart, widow of the fam

ous merchant, Alexander T. Stewart, who since the death of her husband has been

living in the magnificent marble palace at Thirty-fourth i.treet and Fifth avenue, died somewhat suddenly this morning. Her health has been in a somewhat delicate condition for some time, but she has been able to take carriage exercise and her immediate death was not looked for, although her advanced ago-made it improbable that she would long survive. For many years she had led a quiet life, although she occasionally entertained her friends ar d continued to pay visits to the most intimate ones. Her name seldom camo before the public, but her gifts to nnblic charities have from time to time

attracted sorue attention. Mrs. Stewart

died ot congfstion of the lungs and heart trouble. Ho:c death was so unexpected that her nhvsician. who was in her apart

ments at the "irne, turned to converse with

soma relatives of the deceased, and re

turning to tho bedside found Mrs. Stewart

dead.

Mrs, Stewart was nearly 85 years of age. She was bore, in this city, and was a daughter of Jacob Clinch, a well-known shin-

ohandler of his time. She was married to

Mr. Stewart in 1823. She never had any

children, and her nearest relatives are half-

nsters and nieces. It is not known just

what disnocilion Mrs. Stewart has made of

the wealth left by her husband. When

fr. StAwnrt died his DronerLv was va

riously estimated from thirty to fifty million dollars. Onlv one man in

the world knew positively Mr. Stewart's wealth, and ho was John M. Hopkins, his confidential bQk-keeper. The capital invested in tbo dry goods business at one time was f 10 ,000,000. His real property was verv larce. He owned the store at Cham

bers street and Broadway, and the large emporium at Tenth street and Broadway, numerous warehouses in Chambers and

Beode streetn, the Metropolitan Hotel and Niblo's Theater, a ereat many houses and

lots in Bleeiker and Amity streets west of

Broadway, ihe Globe Theater, his marble mansion at Thirty-fourth street and Fifth

avenue, the Woman s Hotel in rounn

&venne. the Grand Union Hotel at Sara

toga, the vast HempBtead Plains estate, and

monv woolen nuns, xne maroie paiace

contains a riaumncent collection or pier,.

ures, and it is reported they have been left tn the citv as the nucleus of an art in

stitution. The collection is the finest of modern painters in America, and is Woiih over $1,000,000. Meissonier's alone osst

SB0.000 and Bonheur's $35,000. Tho stat

uary in the house has among the collection some fine m&sterpieces.

The death of Mrs. Stewart brings to rmna the robberv of her husband's body several

years ago, and the many stories told about the tracing of the thieves and finding of the body. Mrs. Stewart died believing

that the bodv was interred at Garden City,

but the general impression is that it was

never recoverea. ana is siiu renmiK outuo-

where in New Jersey. It is believed by some that tho inside history of the affair

will now be told.

Irish Landlords and Tenants, (By caWe.J

An interes sing proposal to heal the schism

while the better landlords seem to be

altogether iioglecang to use the power or eviction.
