Jay Gould. Correspoauent asilway Age. Long acquaintance with Mr.

Gould, and especielly with hie railway history, has convinced we that great injustice has been done him iu the opinion which has been formed of him by the general of course it is uot poseible that a man who coutrols such vast propertie, and interests aa he does. Including the ownercial welfare of hundreds of communities and the well being of thousands of people, should be without enemies. If he were without them be would be a strange man indeed. But I freely assert that, so aa his dealiugs with his associates in his great enterprises ere concerned, as in ids relations to the general good of the public and of the country, his course will bear the most searching scrutiny. Mr.

Gauld's first railway experience wee as president of the Rinsaelaer it Saratoga for a short time before going into the Erie. la the spring of 1863, in connection with James Fisk, he obtained control of the EtiO, he repreaenting the Vanderbilt interest and Fmk representing the tuterest of Daniel Drew. Becoming aware of a growing disake for Drew en the part of Fisk, Mr. tliould uroposed to them that the two should secure control of the road, insisting that so great a property ought not to continue a bone of contention between Vanderbilt and Drewthat New York city was not being fairly dealt with by ether of the contending partiesthat the road was being operated in the interest of a natural competitor, and that to take it out of the control in which it then was and run it in its own interest, would be for the good of both prorshrty and the public. Tue combination of inter eats thu effected between the two men continued In force neat died.

Throughout their management of Elle, both Gould and Fiek possetesed the confidence of their employes to a wonderful degree, always treahug them with the moot marked justice. Either of them would have sold hie personal property to pay these employes, if at any time it had been necessan y. From the moment Gould identified himself with the Erie, it is evident that he regarded that road as the utoring wedge to a through line from ocean to oceau. Thioughout his railroad career this idea has seemed to hold possession of his mind and to dictate his course. Mr.

Gould is thoroughly conscientious in his dealings with all men and in all matters where the question of right is involved. He allows every man to establish his own basis, and then meets him upon that, whatever it is. If it be a basis of strict integrity, no man will go farther than he In maintaining its moet coascientioua observance. It it be on a bases of -diamond cut diamond," ha does not propose to be found napping. Gould on Well etreet is not Gould any: where else.

If a man comes to him to Join him in any trausaction involving the 'diamond cut diamond" ilea, be looks upon that man as legitimate game, and will capture him if be can. Bat no one ever came to him in good faith, with a legitimate enterpi ise, aeatng his co-operation, who Wa8 dealt a ith in any other than the strctest fairness and good faith. One of Mr. Gauld's most merged characteristics is his power of bilence. He allows others to do the talking and he does the lietening, constantly drawing from othera information of value to him, but giving them nothing in return that he is uuwilihag should be known by the whole world.

Everything Mr. Gould does haa a relation to the future. He never acts from never beeomas excited in the midst of transactions involving millions. A vol. conic eruption could not disturb his mental equitiorium.

He became satisfied yeara ago in so far as personal wealth is cencerned, and since then his atm has been the aceomplishaient ot great objects, and the cam lug out of cherished plans for themselves. Hie railway enterprises contemplate national results rather than selfish euds, and as a finality he seeks the good of the wintry. lie is an exceedingly patriotic man, although in no oast' ble sense a politician. He believes that the tialted States will become the great commercial and financial center of the world, and his chief ambition is to aid as far as may be in his power the realization of this belief. European capitalieta who desire to divert the trade of China from the trans-continental line to the Iethmus wid find in him a most serious Wavle.

Advice to a Young Man. Burlington Hawkey. And then remember, my son, you have to work. Whether you handle a plek or a pen, a wheelbarrow or a set of books, digging ditches or editing a paper, ringing an auction bell or wthing fuuuy things, you must work. If you will look around you, sin, you will see that the Men who are most able to live the rebt of their days wiLhout work, are the men who work the hardeet.

Du' be afraid of killing your. self with overwork, eon. It is beyond your power to do that. Alen cannot work so hordes that on the sunny side of thirty. They die sometimes, but It'd because they quit work at 6 P.

M. and don't get home until 2 A. M. It's the interval that kids. my son.

The work gives you an appetite for your meals, it gives you a oeifect and grateful appreciation of a holiday. There are young men who do not work, my son; young tueu who make a living by bucking the end of a cane; whose entire mental development is ineuelLient to tell them which We of a pobutge stamp to lick; young men who can tie a necktie in eleven different knots and never lay a wrinkle in It. and then would get into a Weet 11111 street car to go to Chicago; who can spend more money In a day than you can etirn in mouth, son, and who will go to the sherire to buy a pobtal card, and apply at the oflice of the street Oommlbelober for a marriage license. But the world Is Lot proud of them, son. It does not know their names, even; it simply speaks of them aa old Soanitia boya.

Nob Jdy likes them. nobody halms them, the busy world clothe. even know they are there, and at the great nay of the resurreetion. If they do hot appear at the sound of the and they cerlatily will not unleim somebody tells them what it is for and what to do. I don't think Clabilei will nika them or notice) their and they I hi not be sant for, or waited for, or dist turbed.

Things will go us lo4t as Issti 104 them. Ho Cod out what you 1 we'll to he and do, sou. and take your 0d Sad Mak a dust in the w.nii.

He soon dropped tue stick and rule aud learned telegraphing, and was one of the best operators that was ever on this line of road. He also hal charge of the city office in Burlington for some time, and the old typos of the Hawkey wherever they can be fouud, will bet their last nickel that Jim Adams' graph was the plainest ever placed on a copy hook. Fourteen years ago Mr. Adains went to weetom Nebraska intending to become a trapper and hunter, which he followed for a year, but the Indian trouble corameuciug at that time he quit his occupation and was employed by the govelement as scout for the army fighting the Iudiens, and has acted in that capacity ever since, and the many peril-One adventures he has had in the moantaios and valleys of the far west has given him the well deserved reputation as being oae of the best and most daring scouts that has ever followed the trail of the red man in the Rocky Moubtaine, and is known in that country as Wyoming Kit," or the "Bohemian Mr.

Adams has just returned to RAwlins, his headquarters, from escorting Gaueral Merritt and his men to the relief of Captain Payne, when he was called on to make a flying trip to his old home. He will leave tut again Thursday morning, as he has promised to leave Rawlins on Saturday for a week of lonely scouting around the camps of the hostile Indians in southwestern Colorado. Jim Adams knows no fear, is a dead shot with a rifle or a navy and never flinches from duty no matter what may be the distger. He tells us he intends going out of the service as soon as the Ute war is ended, but jest as like as not he will continue right along as scout until he dies of old age or gets his hair raised in an unguarded moment when on the trail of the treacherous warrior. A Wonderful lieurgia Parrot.

Some months ag says a correspondent of the St. Louis Gebe-Deneocrat, I met a gentleman from Alabama who related the follwing parrot story, which I believe to be the beet I ever heard: of Montgomery, owned a parrot during and after the war that was the pride and wonder of all Montgomery county. He had learned so many phrases and a itty sayings that the derides, when they came to town on Saturdays, would congregate around his cage in large and applaud by sayh 'Brae God! dat 'ar bird got white folks The doctor, like all physicians, Wail frequenly called out at Dint by some one's 'halloo' at the front gate. Polly learned this, and one night when the doctor answered a shrill 'haiioo' by coming to the door and asking what was wanted, Polly answered Lora a bunch of rose buihes: 'He hi! ha! I fool the doctor that time; hel hi! Polly received a sound Webbing for this trick and was quite sullen for a week or two, when one utak, rainy night the doctor woke up to hear some one at the gate repeating his 'halloo' fri qaently. Going to the door he asked we was there.

From the top of a tall Lombardy poplar the parrot screamed out in fiendish glee: ha! You wet catch Polly this time! You can't! you can't! I you can't! I l' All the doctor's persuasive arts were called into quiettion to get the parrot down from her high 'wren, but she could not be deceived, coaxed or flattered into doing as he commanded or entreated her. She resolutely kept her perch all night in the rain, and waited until he started off next mottling on his daily rouad before she ventured down. The doctor had a little boy aged about two years, for whom the parrot formed a strong attachment. Warren was the child'a name, and by and by he fell sick; the parrot moped abouttuid appeared to be quite melancholy. At thneP, when the ceild Wai left alone for a few moments, Polly would hop up on the edge of the cradle, and, spreading out her wings, she would vibrate them like fans, and ask as she had heard the nurse ask: 'poor baby! Baby want water? Baby inck? tby hungry Poor baby! baby sick? rolly'a so "Finally the child died, and the parrot slunk away for the two days preceding the funeral, and was neither seen nor heard.

Oa returning from the cemetery the family met it, waddling along in the middle of the road, repeating to herself In the tenderest and most mournful man. ner: Where'e Warren? Poor baby! baby sick? Baby want water? baoy Polly's so She was picked up and taken back home, but never spoke another word until the day of her death, when she cried out, 'Hawkel and the next minute was whisked away in the talons of a monstrous chicken hawk that had been watching for an opportunity to carry her off for several The Prince Imperial's Will.

John Upham, of Camden, says the Lincoln County News, some time ago had occabion to dig a ditch on his farm, sinking it between one and two feet. Leaving his work for dinner, On his return he found that water had broken through the earth and was filling his trench, flowing so fast that it was with difficulty that he continued his work. After proceeding some distance he encountered a rock-maple tree, over a foot in diameter, lying between one and two feet below the surface.

Following this up he found that it separated in two branches, one of which he cut off with an tot, and, removing the branch thus severed, discovered under it a well all atoned up, about three feet deep and about the same diameter. Contained within this inclosure was a boiling spring of excellent cool water, which ham supplied the family since, never becoming dry in summer, nor freezing in winter. The wonder is, when and by whom was this well dug, and how long has the earth which was above it been forn.ing? It would seem to be too limited an eA'; to calculate by a faw Lu11-eti years, and not too great of cteduLty to look back some thousan.4 of years ter its origin. -t Burmese aud Women. Caste'.

Charles Kaleey, who has the only hive of bees iu sown, says that when he first got bis colony bis old eat's corioeity was much excited in regard to the doings of the little insects, the like of which she bad never before seen. At first eh watched their comings and goings at a distance. Sue theu flattened hereelf on the ground aod crept along toward the hive. with tail horizontal and quivering. Is was clearly evident tbat she ttanuat the bees some new kind of game.

Finally she took up a position at the entrance to tne hive, and, when a bee came in or started out, made a dab at it with her paw. This went on for a time without attracting i be attention ot the inhabitants of the Mee. Presently. however, Oid Tabby 'truce and crushed a bee on the edge of the opening to the hive. Tile stnell of the crashed be alarmed and enraged the whole colony.

Bees by the score poured forth and darted into the fur of the setonished oat. labby rolled herself in the grass, spitting, spluttering, biting, and sq mann as a oat never squalled before. She appeared a mere ball of fur and bees. as she rolled arid tumbled about. She was at leogtti hauled away from the hive with a garden rake, at the cost of several stings to her rescuer.

Even after she bad been taken to a distant part of the grounds, the bees stueic to Tabby's fur. and about once in two minutes she would utter an unearthly "yowl," and bounce a full yard into the air. Oa coming down she would try to scratch her ear, when a sting on the back would cause her to give a succession of holuoteaulto and give vent to a tanning tire of bquallo. Like the parrot that was left alone with the monkey, old Tabby hat a dreadful time, Two or three days after the adventure, Tabby was caught by the owner, who took her by the neck and threw her down near the beehive.
