Ho was then V.I years c.1.1, end c.liuo from a stock of sturdy lioiu-st fanners v.

Ho was so hard and in- de at a worker that everybody regarded him a a i i young chap' before be had reached his year, though he -Has considered 'odd to be a and was very silent and fond of being alone and always tinkering about with tools. he was 18 he became ncqr.ni'ifwi with tho young woman who later became his wife, and they were married when ho was I 1 -) and she 14; but before he asked her to share his life lie had cleared threo acres of this farm and built this cabiu, besides planting his firit crops. "The cabin was about; twenty feet square and bad a large chimney on one side, only one window and a. front and door.

Too poor to buy furniture for this little, home, Sharp made four wooden chairs, a table, a dresser, a rush bottomed rocking chair and a bedstead with his own hands. That bedstead holds its position todaj- in the splendid home in New York, though the posts and tenting have been removed. The headboard is higu and is carved with a sheaf of wheat and other agricultural devices, and fruit and foliage in quite high relief out of solid black walnut, and the carving was done with uo otht-r tools than a jackknife and a gouge. "When this little homo was completed as far as a mail's hands could do it, he brought his young wife home, where she did the rest. Rhe had a loom set in a 'lean to' after the first year, and she spun and wove wool for the neighboring farmers' wives, and did much 'plain needla while her husband 'hired himself out' to a farmer for So a month for years, to clear laud, and she inado their own clothes also.

''Early mornings, and alter dark, and sometimes Sundays, this young husband worked at his own farm, and planted and harvested, besides clearing an acre year at such odd times. "Poverty reigned, and the strictest; economy was necess-ury to enable them to live. Young as were they both put their shoulders bravely to the wheel. When their sou was born they were doubly happy, but they found themselves obliged to work still harder. Mrs.

Sharp took her baby in her arms and walked a milo and sometimes more to different farm houses, where she spun, wove or sewed for tho farmers' wives for from fifty to seventy-live cents a day, and walked back at night to meet her husband as tie returned from bis work. They entered their little abode, and he held tho baby while sho got suppe. ready. She earned enough money to buy a good cow, and then he for bade her goiug out to work any more. denomination, though Hharp severed church connection years ago, much to regret.

"The home in Rome is the family's summer residence, and whenever Sharp had ono of his attacks of heart trouble, they used to go where ho used to pick up again at once. Th-y always kept that home ready for i instant occupancy. I i "Tho purify and refinement of Sharp's home life was something remarkable in the-'-j i degenerate days. The whole was made to seem like a shrmo for tho worship ol and all the inmates, from his wife to the servants, wcro his devoted slaves. They havo had the sainu cook, a colored man, for vears, and tl-e same ma id servants and coach- i men, and every movement in that domestic circle revolved about Sharp is about 5 feet in height, with pleasant bluo cys, wavy gray hair, a compir-t build, and most bar.

"During these three struggling years he had been working at spare moments at some mysterious thing; which he was hammering and pounding at, nb a little forge which he had built out back of the house, and flt last ono day the young husband came in and laid a finished horseshoe in tis wife's hands, say- understand until noexpiamea that he had made some wonderful improvement in horseshoes, and then it needed two more whole years of toil and self denial before he obtained his patent, and a year or so more before he realized great results from it, By the time, another child, a daughter, was boni to them, they were above want, and this left him free to invent other things, chiefly relating to horses and wagons, objects with which he was most familiar. "The little farm was cleared and improved and a better house was built, and then at last, in 1850, this young couple went to New York, Sharp, now moderately rich, bought their old residence, 820 West Twenty-third street, for paying 0Mb. relegate it to a garret in. favor of sotnest bedstead ever made, and OH it she will die. "There was a largo open fire in this room always when tho air was chill, nnd soft easy chairs stood near it, and a soft old fashionc-1 lounge, piled high with pillows whoso feathers were picked from her own by her own hands long rgo, was drawn before the fire for father, always ready.

Ho would never use any other pillows. The characteristic of this room is of utter comfort, repose and peace rather than disp.lay. it, is a matter OL proiouna regret tnat man, who was so admirable a husband and father, could not have kept himself unspotted before the world in his business relations. But iu forming an estimate of his life one should not forget that the great city of New York has always been cursed by authorities whose constant cry has been "Give! give!" to all who would effect improvements of any kind whatsoever. And while there is no reason to doubt the truth of the allegation that "Jake" Sharp did bribe tho aldermen of the metropolis to grant the franchise of the Broadway surface railroad, ho was not the only briber, nor could ho have bribed had there not been gaping pockets waiting, hungry for his gold.

Just how to put a stop to the wholesale corruption of municipal affairs in tho metropolis--and, indeed, in most other cities of the United States--is ono of the gravest problems of the present day. The Latest Mine Explosion. Wo give with this a cut of Mine No. 6, at Rich Hill. the scene of the recent firedamp explosion.

Many lives were lost by this disaster, which fully described at the time in the newspapers. The cut is from attracted attention wherever bo went. He was almost invariably attired in a light brown or gray coat, low cut velvet waistcoat exposing a ruffled cambric blurt front of immaculate whiteness. Light colored, perfectly cut trousers gracefully fell over whito cloth gaiters which topped a pair of bright patent leather shoes of the neatest fit. From the wrists of his coat sleeves peeped tiny cambric ruffles snugly fastened by plain gold buttons.

A broad brimmed, bell crowned beaver hat always surmounted his head. Peculiar as the dress was there was always an air of elegance about it, and no one ever thought of calling Mr. Brewster anything but well dressed. No dandy was ever inoro particular about tho cut and quality of his wearing apparel, and from tho fancy silk hosiery to the high hat every article was expressly manufactured for the wearer and imported from Europe. There are many stories told about the cause of Mr.

Brewster's eccentricity in dress, but Iiis own reason for it is that ho had become accustomed to it and could never mako up his mind to change the style." Mr. Crewster was so intellectual and such a charming conversationist that despite his marred countenance ho was a great favorite with the ladies. He was a scholar, a connoisseur in art and possessed a collection of rare engravings and etchings. Ho was at one time quite wealthy, but during tho past few years he met some heavy losses. His law library was ono of tho finest private libraries in tho country.

Last fall he sold it to the University of Pennsylvania. Ho was the most relentless of all the attorney generals of the United States, and it is not recorded that he over recommended the pardon of a convict, no matter how moving tlio plea put forth by friends.

The two clubs that are evidently destined to bring up the rear are tho Indianapolis and AVa-Miin-jton nines. Tho managers of the latter havo done very htrlo in the way of strengthening their forces. In fact they have weakened themselves by releasing Paul Hines, their heaviest batter. Tho Indianapolis people have made one good move in securing lirbt of all manager who has deservedly earned very wide reputation. This is Mr.

(r. Spenco, and he will in timo collect together a goad tuaiu that will do credit to Hoosiervillo. In tho American association the race for tho ppnnant will bo exceedingly hot, now that all the clubs have been strengthened considerably over last season. In Brooklyn the homo is looked ui-on as a sure, winner, but Cincinnati and Baltimore are, to all intents and purposes, equally strong with the and so far as the St. Louis, Louisvilles, Athletics and are concerned there is very little, to choose between them.

Tho Kansas Citys will probably bring up the rear, but all the teams are so very strong that it is more than hazardous to pick the winner, and hence the prospects are that it will be iiip and tuck for the part of the season.
