irorth8snMnr.V - - THE WINGED FLOWER.

BT X-EK O. HARK IB. The aanrjeams, darting and danclne along, Kissing the teAs of the night away, Waking the woodlands to beauty and song. Crossed o'er my path where the shadows lay. Lake molten gold la ringlets rolle?, ThT flooded the slope where the flowers gfew, Aad down the dell Like a cataract fill, Di riding and blending, and lost to view. Among the flowers thtre nestled one, Brightest and fairest of all that grew, And blushed at the kiss of the amorous sun. Or mourned his abseace in tears of dew. Fair to beheld Were its hoes of gold, A, graoefu ly swaying, it rose and fell, ddencdd in time. Like a perfect rhyme. "with th wanderln z breezes that swept the deli. Entranced by its loveilnes, I drew nigh To grasp this floweret with eager holi. When lo! It was or.ly a butterfly, A nd floated off on its win gs of gold. Drifted away Where the sunshine lay, And glanced for a moment within its light, Then, flattering down Through the shadows bro wn, It Tanlshed from my regretful sight. I turned to the flowers still lingering there. All colorless seemed the brightest things. I sighed that the blossom to me most fair, Should have been the one endowed with wing. The glorious light Of the sun, as bright As I first beheld it, about me lay, And flowers still Adorning the hill, But the Joy ol it all bad flown away. There's a. flower, 1 sighed, that brightly springs And blooms, where the sunbeams glance above The path of our lives ; bat oh ! it k as wiD,.i To soar away, and its name Is love. Fair to beheld Do Its hues unfold; Bat roaghly grasp and it glances by. And, leaving Its rest, Is never possessed, But mocks at pursuit like a butterfly. LEW18VILLE, lnd. THE CENTENMTAIu A Ramble Through the Different Buildings, and the Tokens of Progress in Each. THE BUSTLE OF PREPARATION. ART HAftL TIE BUILDING WHAT THE DIFFERENT NATIONS ABB DOING AGRICULTURAL HALL MACH INERT SPECIAL EXHIBIT. A letter to the New York Tribuns from Philadelphia gives an interesting account of the progress made In tbe preparations for the great show: The progress made In the work at tbe grounds dating tbe past week has been on the whole satlsfac ory In the art ball some floor tiling and marble paneling remalts to complete. The honey-comb cf picture galleries In tbe annex is tilled with consign meets of paint Ines and statues, yet ur packed, from all lands under she sun that are sufficiently clvllizsd to produce artists. In one of the cells of this labyrinthine cocstruc'.lon Mr. SaitaiD, tbe superintendent of the art bu reau, has established bis office, and next week, or tbe week after, be will put bis banging committee" to work. There will be leas complaint than usual about tbe placing of pictures, because as every gal Jery has a sKyiighi 01 the same size as every other, and ai tb ere are no side-lights. the wall spaces are all equally desirable as far as lighting is concerned. With two or tfcree exceptions, all the foreign com mlaions are puBhlog lor ward tbeir prepara Ilms in tbe main building with kreat energy. Chlaa, tbe latent arrival, has a small mountain of packing-cases on ber terri tory, and a dczsa mechanics In shirt-like blosse, skull cap9, and pigtails are put ting things to rights with diligence and dispatch. Tbey Lave completed a gorgeous little pavilion, with walls of gilded wood work carved to represent vines and leave?. and showlDg through the open spaces background of red silk. There are immerons large panels 01 wouc, on winch are painted quaint figure pieces representing scenes in Chinese life. Tbe Japanese Lave most of tcei show-cases in pla?e, but have not begnn to unpack their wre. In the Egyptian couit toere Is already a gleam ol splendidly embroidered table-spreads, scar let a&aaie-ciotns neavy witn gold sua ail ter thread, and bridles and stirrups glitter ing with bullion acid gems, seen through the rents in tbe wrappings tLat but ball TCBCf a Ithe caryed ebony cases and their ontenta. IHK SPANIARDS have shut out curious visitors from their court, and are busy unpacking their goods. Russia, about whose attendance we begun to De skeptical in spite of otllclal assur ances, is now represented by a eccra of boxes. Evidently her commissioner i are in no hurry to bein their preparations. Den merk bas erected an archway or can vasa and wood at tbe entrance of her com pact ssotioo. The Austrian commissioner, llofratb Mlgerka, is energetically making op for lost time, and hep Js t j get bU department in trJer by the opening day. Heme of the cees are richly adornMi with carvirg and gliding. A very unique ex b'.bit 01 oleomargarine I in place, it con slats of aure white tablet, some 20 feet by 12, made of plates of tbe substance, witn a boraer oi duck and yellow bees wax tiles of diamond shape. The whole is framed in black wood, and the face ol the tablet bears an inscription in raided leiten giving tbe name and address ol the exhic itor?, Ibe German name of tbe substance la pir-butie-r (economical butter) The g'as makets of Bohemia, tbe Prague glovers, and the Vienna manufacturers of leather, amber, meerschaum and ivory goods will be well represented. In the Herman section a great numcer or cases have been set np, and some goods un packed. An Ivory manufacturer bas a large case of great beauty." A Lelpsio furrier ia preparing a fine exhibit, and tbe chemists are also doing well. The ample territory of Great Britain swsrms with ex hibitors and workmen, and a multitude of luteiesticgot jKta daily emerge from their watbiodtttof a raw. ibe porcelain and mtjiüca maker continue to astonish vi itora wi.h new wonders of tbelr arr, tue perfumer are brf r giug out their fr graut torcP, and the tJcvvjh jawtlers show wbat

displsyed in the Indian section. Canada has unpacked nothing as vet. New Soath Wales has Jaat completed PAVILION OF COAL. , Jamale and the Cape of Good Hope are each Inclosing small courts. Queensland bas erected a oolumn showing the total bulk of gold take a from her mines and haa als) pet up a pyramid of ingots of tin. The colored photographs of land scapes, towns, larm-d Wenings, alia mining life m tfcii colony are admirabls. Among the new obiects of Interest in tbe Swedish section is a huge four-winged screen cov ered with maps of the geological survey of tbst ountry. Norway gives promlnebce to a display of cod liver cIL Among the few other articles unpacked are some curi ously carved chests and an ancif nt beds'.ad in rudely sculptured oak. Italy ap pears to bave trid to make amends lor her tardiness In acce'ticc the invitation to take part In tbe exhibition. All ber peculiar art industries, such as mosaic, coralwork, cameos, in laid-wood work, goia ana js t a - .1 1 .111 Km silver magree, ana toenail giiisa win un represented, and the art department receives 800 marble 6t Jtuea a larger numbr than was sent to any previous world's fair. While not tbe production of artists of wide fame.tbesa statues will be found of greater merit than many more preten tlous work by artists wno employ tne unknown sculptors employed in Florence or Rome to correct thsir "bad designs. The Italian art commissioner. Prof. Rossi of the Milan Academy, arrived last week. Among tue curiosities in the Italian ex hibit is a mosaic called the ruins of Pseitum, whiflh contains in a space five feet eight ircbes lone, by two feet two incbes wide. 750,000 separata pieces. Tbe preparations of France, (Switzerland, and Belgium, countries ranged side by side in tbo eastern nave, are going forward with increased rapidity. Brazil's ornamental structure of Moorish architecture promises to be tbe most striking object in tbe build lng. Tbe clustered columns are still of tbelr primitive wood-color, but part of the entablature has received a decoration oi tbe monogram P. II. In gold, thickly strewn upon a crimson ground. In tbe Netherlands section there is a 1 M06QUK OF DAZZLING BRILLIANCY of cold and color, that Is to con tain the products of the Dutch Fast Indian Colonies. Mexico has made no preparations yet: nor has Turkey. Portugal 19 also delinquent. Tbe American section presents an astonishing variety of cofetly show cases and architectural struc tures. Snme are beautilul and appropriate, ethers tasteless and pretentious, and many will edits by their glit er tbe article tbv contain. One very notable line of exhibits a ready li place Is the mantel of marble and marbleized slate. In this industry we shall leave all other countries out of sight. Tbe agricultural buadicg m fairly in possession of exhibitors at last, the work of whitewashing the interior having been completed a few days ago. Brazil bas completed a pretty pavilion, and is inclosing a large floor space with a railing of brightly painted wood, surmounted by numerous little flag staffs. Within the inclosare are piles oi bales and boxe. Spain has walled en a court with tall show esses. and is building a handsome portal in the lorm of a tail archway. Quantities of British, French, German and Canadian goods have arrived, bot none are unpacked. Considerable progress has been maae with in a few days in the American section. which occupies fully two-thirds of the building. Many show cases are np. and a good deal of machinery is in place. An ugly tower, covered wiih shingles, and de signed for a windmill, which occupies a prominent place, ought to be banished to the open air. Most of the aquaria Intended tor the display ol rood hshs are In posi tion along the western bide of tbe building1 An annex for a boiler and engine to run Mich agricultural machinery as requires to be shown in motion has been begun. Eas: of tbe great hall is a large structure just begun, kLOwn as tbe pomological building, wbere special exbibitlons ot fruit will be made in the summer and fall, and near by. at tbe extreme northeastern corner of the grounds, stands the nearly finished structure of tbe brewers. Ground has jast been broken for a building covering about an acre of ground, lor (he DISPLAY OF FARM WAGONS, carts and omnibuses. All tbe epace here will be occupied by Americans. It la too early to sp9ak of ths general agricultural exhibit In detail, but it can be predicted with certainty that it will be much more extensive in tbe line of machinery than was that of tbe Vienna Exhibition, and that it will not fall behind in farm products and lood preparations. Tbe international feature will be more noticeable bare than anywhere eleeexcept in the main building, twenty one foreign countries havirjg applied for space. These are Great Britain, France, Germany, Austria, Norway, Sweden, Russia, Belgium, tae Netherlands. Spain, Iialy, China. Japan. Vene zuela, Chili, Brazil, Mexico, Canada, .Den mark, Argentine Republic ard Portuga . There will, too, bi more special state exhibits tban In any other department of tbe fair, collective displays of farm products having been contributed by the Bute Agricultural Boards of Missouri, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Oregon, New Hampshire. Washington Territory, New Jersey, West Virginia, Delaware, Ohio, Kentucky, Florida and Iowa. Aiacn.nery Ii all re sound with din and clatter. The great hydraulic annex begins to nil np with hundreds or pumps ot all sizes and kinds. American exnibitors are bestirring them selves, ana, onsiaering tne great epace t- ey are to fill, their preparations are more advanced than thoteof any of the foreign countries except England and Bel glum. In Iron-working machinery the display is already large, and in the way of sewing machines it promises to be im mense. France is getting in her articles, and, among other things, bas set np a printing prea?. In tbe l gbtcess of their construction tbe Irenc'a macbinea oi all kinds contrast strikingly with those of tbe .agl:sh. bweuan has two team engines, a locomotive and a variety of smaller machines in poe-Mon. Belgium is going to compete with Gieat Britain and France in the extent of her display. In THB GERMAN SECTION there is little to see jet beälde half a doze i gas motor. Canada is progressing well la her section, and so is Brazil in ber little area. No countries exoeot these earned have appeared. Tbe baild.ng designed for t display of carriages and railway cars, now almost nnished, is classed s an annex to the main exhibition building, but is an entirely distinct structure. It la 232 feet ions by Z77 wide . and is constructed of wood and corrugated iron, large sheets ot the iron being placed between utrlibt p04ts, like panels, to form the walls. Over sixty of tbe leading carriage manufac turers of the United States will be rt-pre sen ted In tbo bui!d:nr, and there will also be exhibits irooi Great Britain, Canad?,

uermany, Austria, ueigiam ma naiy. Only pleasure carriages are admitted ; farm

and -road wagons, carts and omnibuses going into an annex to tbe Agricultural Building. About one-rourtQ oi tne noor epace will be occupied by railway care and s-reet cars, including the latest designs in the way ot drawing-room and sieepingcars. Baby carriages and perambulators will also have a place, and there will be a section where camagemakers' materials ot all kinds will be sbown. A good deal of room will be occupied by stoves, ranees and beaters, which cave Deen unavoidably crowded Oct of the main building and come In among tbe vehicles, because no other place cau be found for them. Tbe unity ot tbe exhitlt is marred by this arrangement, but It could net well te helped. A world's fair can not be made upon an exactsys'etn. Tbere are too rr.ary contingencies which it is impossible to provide for. The special exhibit or THE BREWING INDUSTRY of the United States will be an interesting feature cf the fair. It will be male in a building 300 feet long by 100 feet wide erected at a cost of $32,000, and now ap proaching completion. The funds bav oeen raised by subscription. In the cente of the building will be a brewery with all tbe best machinery and appliances: wbile to show the progress oi the art, a model of a brawery cf 30 years ago will be exhibited One depirtmeut of tbe building will con tain a display of apparatus for all processed connected with the making of malt liquors; another will show specimens of barley from all parts of the world and a model malt house, where the procfsies ot malting can b examined, and a third will be devoted to simples oi hops and exhibits illustrating methods of cultivating and preparing tbem. In an annex to the build ing 60 feet long by 60 wide will be shown all kinds of beer, ale, and porter cf Eure peau and American make Here will also be an icehouse with a capacity of 200 tana. I he committee having charge ot tbe ex hibit are going to publish a pamphlet of statistics, and promise to prove by hgures that in comparison to population there pre vails in beer drinking countries less drunkenness and crime and a lower rate of mortality tban iu New England states where prohibitory laws are in- force. Whatever may be thought of these figures, the unique exhib.t of the brewers will net fail toaitract general attention. iNothing like it was attempted at the great faiis iu Europe. The exhibits tor the United Statts government buildlcg are fast coming in From tbe war dcpnt xent tbeie are all s ma of weapons from old wall pieces to modem mitrailleuses, and complete sets of musket making and cartridge making machinery from THE NAVY DEPARTMENT three marine engines, a ship's galley, a boat uaed by Dr. Kane, and one that be longed to Sir John Franklin: tbe po&t oQce department is represented by a model post and monev order office, with a corps of letter carrieis for service on the grounds; the Smithsonian is filling nearly half the building with its ethnological auu mineralogical collections, and the patent office has its cases ready for models. A small space, yot unoccupied, is reserved for tbe treasury. Included in the mineral display is a column oi coal forty feet hiL and four feet square, t?ken from tbe mam moth vein near pottsviiie, Penn., py the Reading Coal Company. A huge ehalt ol bituminous ccal Irom Cumberland arrived jeittrday. No exhibits have been placed in the woman's paviuion. ine German papers rep art that tbe Empress Augusta uas sent to tuis uepanmuui. a uaaus'juie album containing photographs of seven charitable institutions in Vienna, which are under her protection. An association of bankers are putting up a handeome. little building for the display of specimens cf bank notes, from tbe first establishment of banks of issue in tbe colonies nntil the present time. Besides tbe mam reception room wbere this interesting exhibit will be made, the building will contain a ladies parlor and two committee rooms. About 400 bank officers have subscribed to tbe fund for its erection. Mr. B. B. Sherman, president of the Mechanics' National Bank of New York, Is chairman of tbe asEociation, and Mr. George S. Coe, president of tbe American Exchange National Bank of New Ycrk, la its secretary. The chairman cf tbe building committee is Mr Oeorce Philler, president of tbe First National Bank of Philadelphia. Col. J. E. Peyton, of New Jersey, is entitled to the credit ot organizing the move meet. A COLOR BLIND ARTIST. NABT COLOR KILLED THK PICTORIAL BILLING!: Q ATE CF 1Ö72. Joel Benton say?, in an article in Appleton's Journal : It is difficult, too, to escape tbe conclusion that be who becomes a conspicuous partisan of a party, and a con spicuously Diina toaay to a man, even though the object ot laudation is a high government chief, and worthy of distinguished consideration for services rendered the republic, bas fallen a good ways below the point of view from which the truth Is to be discerned. And this occurred not merely when we were given frequent pictures, in phases ad nauseam, of the Becond Washington, but when we saw tbe brush dipped in tbe same pigment which blackened Tweed to blacken after tbe came manner Horace Greeley, Carl Schuizand Charles Sumner. It happened wben, by making Sumner strew flowers on Brooks's grave, it libeled tbe Bweetest and noblest sentiment of spontaneous charity and forgiveness that ever moved tbe hearts ot statesmen and of a great people. The same spirit of caricature could as easily have punctured with its sardonic levity the sublime snd golden sentence, "Neither do I accuse thee; go and sin no more;" or have made ridicule of tbe tenderest ot tbe beatitudes. It happened, too, wren It cro8eed,as It not long a&o did, the threshold ot the grave, to place Into public view again the coat-tails and tag ot calumnious memory a reminiscence of tbat IraLtic bate and pitiless pursuit of one wbesa shoe-strings, If tbey were worthy to wear them, would ennoble both the ethics and politics of his detractors. It la proper to ask what is the ordinary effect ot eucb pictorial billingsgste as issued forth with 8ich blatant iteration in tbe campaign of '72? Tbe natural inference from it waa that which set the three concededly purest and most ideal statesmen or tne country Into tbe category .which bad been famiiiarlzd and made for the convict and "statesman'' late of Blackweli's Island. And so completely was this intimated tbat Tweed himself remarked It. He Is reported to have said: "I did feel somewhat hurt when those pictures appealed; but now that the very beet men in the country are black-balled, 1 cau stand it." lie felt whitened and restored. And this was Just the effact of the artist's work. It wiped out and color-killed the fine performance that bad preceded it. A compositor's error in the dramatic review, yesterday, made os say tbat Mr, Warle, s Iltunaya in "The Apostate," was aoominable. Tbe word was written "admirable." Chicago Tribune.

PROPORTION OP PEBSOK3 IS THIS BCSINKSS TO ALL OTHERS CACSK OF ITd PRO MI ISEJiCE DEAUXQ WITH WOM&N aTKWART'S 8CCCKS AND FAILURE. The Nation thus elaborately invest'gi'e the subject of tbe dry goodi business: The eclat which has attended Mr. A. T. Stew art's death wa, of courae, due In a consid ersble degree to the popular notion of the size of his fortune- The man who hai buc ceeded in accumulating more money tban any other man in a commercial commun ity in whicn nearly every man is striving lor money with great eageruets, is neces sarny a man of distinction, and his death is sure to cause more or lest sensation. But it may well be doubted whether Mr, Stewart wouia nave achieved nearly as much distinction had be made his money In any other way than tbe way in which be did make it. The riches of a great real estate speculator, or railroad man, or contractor,or miner, or iron mastar, or Cnina merchant, would not impress the popular imagination nearly so powerful ss his have cone. He not only made in his lifetime an enormous fortune, but be made it in tbe m st conspicuous, best known, and, to the large body of American trader, most fascl natmgot pursuits the sale or tbe commodity known ss "dry goods." Therels probably no other business in the country on which so mucb ambition Is secretly fed, which furnishes tbe material for so many day-dreams, and to which the bulk oi the young men who ecgMgq in commercial pursuits are so powerlully drawn. The percentage of these engaged in all branr hes of business who have beun their career bv "clerkiie it" in a dry goods stcre would, if statistics could be collected on tbe subiijct, be found curiously large. So also would tbe percentage be of those who have tried dry goods at one period or other ot their livesas capitalists, and only turned to other callings after they had irretriev ably failed in it. The NUMBER OF "TRADERS" in dry goods was f.r:ater by far in 1S7I than thone In any other branch of dUtrlbu tion,exc pt grocerie?, numbering in round numbers 40,000 (the grocers reached 74,000), and this does not include the salesmen and saleswomen and travelers and collec tors, who may be set down at least at two to oue. or about eighty thousand. No other traders or dealers number half as many. There were in tbe country in 1870, 3,000,000 farmers and planters, to say no t ing ot the same number of agricultural laborers. We shall net attempt to guets how large a proportion of the young men just entering on life, belonging to this class are eager to exchange tbe dull and monotonous and exposed life of a tiller of the soil for the she.ter, cleanliness and excitement, and even remote chance ot great wealth, offered by almost any kind ot exchange business in a city. It is undoubtedly very large, and to most of tb ss youths the dry goods store seems to offer tbe most attractive and easy path to tbe new life, and is undoubtedly the most familiar one. Most of the village heroes tbe name of whose "mansion" and diamonds and last horses, church and college donations, and large "operations" comes back to their birth-place, have started In thla way. Every village boy, In fact, thinks if he is quick at figures and cau gtt behind a counter he may rival Stewart or Cladln, and more tban this he does not look lor in this world. The loftier dreams of intermarriage with counts and dukes, and familiar Intercourse with effete monarchs and princes ol tbe blood, come later In life, and are put into his head by bis wife and daughters. This pre-eminence and attractiveness of the dry goods trade in tbis country are due mainly to the great purchasing power and varied re quirements ot American, women. IN ALL EUROPEAN COUNTRIES the country population are mainly pea sants, and even when well-tc-do, wear clotbosof exceeding simplicity and of a stereotyped fashion. They make next to no demand for styles, trimmings and great diversity of material, and bat little for tbe finer qualities of goods of any kind. Consequently, there is but little field for enter prise or taste, or Ingenuity in furnishing them. The dealer who depends on them is satisfied if, like tbe grocer, he lays in a few crest stcples, and is able to tell which of his cotton prints have fast colors. Here in tbe country tbe tastes of the city wo men are Bpread everywhere by the fashion papers and magazines, and cultivated by the pissioo for equality, and the absence ot class disvinetiou, and the secret social ambition brod by the common schools and academies. The country boy aspires to sell dry goods in Broadway cr Washington street, and tbe country girl ex pec s a city dry goods rxaa to come out and marry ber, anj give her shawls and laces, or tbe opportunity of "culture" in picture galleries and libraries. The consequence is that the dry goods man has a sphere of ac ivity opened to him such ss Is presented to no ether trader. Women are his principal customers, and their wants are innumerable, whether for use or ornament, and tour fancy is a fcarp of a thousand s'riogs, on wbicn a f-killiul salesman may p ay an endless varimy ot tun6s. The chance for great, bits, too, la colors or pattern of fashions, give the business some of tbe at tractions or gambling, and the tbangeful nfsiof the popular Kste fnralsbt8 a rest less, eager nature with an inexhaustible stimulus to activity and enterprise. There Is no business in which a trader is brought into such constant contact with tbe public at large, and into such close relations with family life, and into such near perceptions of its wants and weaknesses. . Mr. Stewart was the firdt to perceive the opportunities It offered In this country, and to avail him self of them, and HB DERIVED HIS SUCCESS . from two things in the firat place, he saw the advantage, In dealing with a timid. non-csmmerclal class like women, who are, nevertheless, eager for new and to them unknown and untried commodities, of having a fixed price, which would con

tain a fair profit and nothing more. Tbis

removed one great check on woman's purcheses, by leaving their minds free fcr choice ot goods simply, and delivering tbem from distrust ot their own power a nageiersor Dargain-makers. In tbe sex' place, he saw the necessity In a exmntry ol such rapid growth and unbridled hopruiness, ana there ore extensive use ol credit, in wbich tbe deelre for fine clothes generally ran ahead of tbe means of pay ing tor them ot dolus business in such a way as to avoid being swept overboard ty panics, which are tbe tornasoes of Amer ican lite, and alwav a strike dry goods men more severely than other dealers. lie, therefore paid as be went, and gave no credit until gtving credit became cf no more consequence to him tban grammar t3 the king, and in tbis war panic btcame bis ssoi of greatest profit, as he was able to buy out his ruined competitors. He rapid lv became uot simply the greatest but oldcet dry gooda bouse io the country. Indeed, his store haa always been remarkable lor containing a large number of dry goods men, once mighty and active, who had 'burst up" at seasons wben he was making the most money, and found refuge in bis service. Be had perhaps no equal, except tbe United States Custom Houe, in sheltering persons who had compounded with their credircrs or bean stripped of their savings in Wall streer. In fact, be played tbe pait on the troubled dry fcOJda ocean of a powerful iron-clad ram, giving all rivals wbo sdemed to be saining on him a tap of his beak, which speedily sent tbem to the bcttom, but then p.cklrjg up tbe officers and sending them before the mast as able seamen. Tbe btrong expectation entertained with regard to the provision be would make for charity, or art, or literature by his will was probably largely due to the influence which groat capacity iu selling dry goods exercises on tbe popular imagination. In no other business is a mn's mjstery of details and variety and extent ot operations brought ao cloeeiy under THE POPULAR ETE ; and that success wbich people could s&e and appreciate so clearly mut qualify a man to be a great and wiss public benefac tor, is an inference easily made. Bat the fact is, there is probably no buslnesä which is less likely to ü: one tor the hearty and prudent execution cf great schemes of public utility. We have no Intentions of giving expressions here to the modern aristocrktic contempt for tbe business of selling goods by tbe yard over the counter; bur the philosophio condemnation of all retail basinets for its effects on the mind and character is at least as old as Cicero, and has a good deal of foundation. Retail is essentially and above all things detail, and the man wbo prosecutes it successfully must excel in detail and have a love of it. But there is no surer consequence of this than a loss of capacity for putting work on other people's shoulders, or ioi confining one's Be-if to the task of general and more or less remote supervision, which is the essential condition ot all undertakings tbat are to have a permanent value. The passion for seeing to everything one's sell is a good thing tj begin Hie witb, but the man who retains it into bis old age is more likely to die a shop-keeper tbau a states mau or philanthropist, and is not likely ever to fiod the leisure or the frame or mind for any contribution to art or charity which be has no hope of personally managing, and the working out ot which must be left to agencies which he cau not either select or control. In shcrc, the very traits of char acter and experience ot life which meat promoted Mr. Stewart's bdsiness s access had probably most to do - in preventing his leaving behind any finished and lasting monument. . Mia contributions to the arch itecture of tbe citv were unmistakable signs of his defects as a public benefactor. None of them contains the slightest re cognition of the claims ot art, or, In other woras, oi tne existence ot any world in which the methods and aims ol "business had no place. WISE AND OTHERWISE.
