A MOD$1<r AMBON. ltelmuarkable Feate With Cannon, larreb of Lead and liar Iron. Frntm the Troy, New York, Times. I C ro ose to give you a short sketch of the life of a man who was littlo known outside of the village of Gran vIlle Corners, in Washington county, where lie was born and spent tha most of a long life. It is known of him, and can be proved, that he has per tormed feats of strength unsurpassed by any man that has lived in ancient and modern times, excepting, otconrse, the Biblical Samson. hls name is, or was, Steam Carpentcr. His uccupa (ion was that of a irnier. Bcing nat urally of a very quict, lieaceful dispo sition and a member of the society of Friels, lie ncver did anything f1o tilsplay to attract attention, but the feats of atrength he perlormed were lone more to satisfy himself and to see how much he could lift than any Ihing else. All his lifting was done by main strength, without harness of any kind. One of his greatest feats was lilting a box lilled with iron, which weighed I,9OO pounds, which is cquial to lifting 3,&O pounds in a harness, lie lifted it with ease with his hands by grasp ing a rope or chain which was bound around the box to secure it. lie did not know the weight of the box of iron at the time, and was afterwards heard to say that had lie known it weighed so near a ton he would have put on the other 10 pounds and lifted the whole. At another linie lie lifted a cannoni that weighed 1,l0t) pounlds and shoul dere<d it. At Constock's Landing, on the Chamuplaiii canal, near WhitehalI, one day while waiting for a load of umerehandise, lie lifted a barrel of wkite lead with case. II is neighbors, wlen kilIi ng hogs, it' Stearn happened to be around, would ask hit to guess the weight of a hog just killed. I fit happeme(d to be a lig one, weirhing four hundred or live hundred pounds, lie would 101p down and( twi.t his 1ingers iinto the bristles, and in that. way would lilt the rarea-s clear t'romi Ile ground and guess on its weight. IIe erl'ormed one the greatest feats of strengtI on record alter lie had reached the age of seVenl y-live vears. lie lifted two t we'nl y-fiour Foot iron rails by grasp.in(g ole in each hand, and walked o l with tleini. ''Ie 'ails VerC rest i ng oi V(olenl Iho'ses, so C. (lid not stolp dowu to lift themi. te (lay in haying lie was going ir;m the field with his tutn to I lie house f'or diner. 'They were walking along the road together when one of his tuen, for mischief, raue up belind himt, and, by a skillful trilp, threw ( arpenter down. lie gathered himselt up anI said nlotlling aount it. Ile walked on to the house, and after dinn er, wlien returning to the field with his iic n, they came along to the lt ace where the llal gave hiini the tall. IlIe suddeni\y t uried uponi the inatt, ud, graspin liu by the siouliders and the seat of his Irouseis, liltin' hitln and hurled ltiim high in the air above himl am1( over a seven rai 11 line, by t Ie side of which lithy hl(ll1ened t be valkin.

Mrs. Stewart always called her hus band "Honey" and he always called her M. dear." .{ow that the millionaire and his widow have passed from earth it is said they never spoke harshly to each other, but always lived a devoted and happy pair. Mrs. Stewart survived her husband ten years and six months. her death was com >aratively painless. The fui er a' took place Thursday. At one o'clock there was a private service at the beauti ful marble palace. The remains were taken to Garden City and the services wore held in the Cathedral of the Incar nation which was erected through Mrs. Stewart's munificence. After the ser vices the remains were deposited in the erypt under the altar and elaborate pre cautions will be taken to guard against a desecration of the grave. The death of Mrs. Stewart arouses a fresh interest in the husband. (ine of the remarkable things about Alexander T. Stewart was the brevity of his will. It would occupy only four or five inches and he disposed of fifty or sixty million dollars in less than five lines. Said he: "First-All my property and estate, of any and every kind of description, and wherever situated, I give and devise and bequeath to my dear wife, Cornelia M. Stewart, her heirs and assigns for ever." After appointing Judge henry Hilton his executor and directing him briely about the afitirs of the estate lie added: ''For which service, as a mark of my re gard, I give to said Henry Hilton Si, 000,000." 'There were a number of legacies to various friends, employcs and servants in the household. When the death of Mr. Stewart was made public Mrs. Stewart was consid ered the richest woman in the tnited States. When the bequest of all lier husband's property to her was published in the daily papers the enormous burden put on her aged shoulders was universal ly believed to be greater than she could sustain. Fortune favored her, however, and she sold to Henry Hilton all her right and title in the business of A. '1'. Stewart and Co., for the sum of 81,000, - 000 cash, which sum had been bequeati. ed to Henry Hilton by her lmisband. Whether this was in accordance with a pre-understanding of Mr. Stewart's de sire was never publicly explained, though it was an open secret that such was the fact. But that fact in nowise altered the legal aspect of the case. She was the absolute legatee and could have done with the property precisely as she pleased. 'T'hat her action ini parting with a business believed to be worth from tweity to thirty millions of dollars for the comparative trifling sum of one mil lion, and that a gift, was the sensation of the day and excited widespread cor - nuent. The theft of Stewart's body is still a mystery. Since the theft various explla nations have at different times been as serted, the most frequent statement being that the body had been privately recov cred by Judge [Hilton and placed is tlh, mausoleum at Garden City, but no state mnent has been authorized and supported by any show of proof, and the whe; abouts of the body is still a secret, whit h the death of Mrs. St;wart may finally open the door to disclosing.
