tS3ria desires to be present, and perhaps
Brazil'S course may encourage her to
conquer her bashfulness and cross the
sea. She vould certainly receive warm
welcome both as queen and woman
That eminent end exemplary finaneicr,
Mr. Jay Gould, shows by his action in
case now pending, that 1t makes as
much difference to him whose OK is gor-
ed, as it does to any one else. While

i.dolIars, tie whole transaction suddenly
took on a very different aspect. He al

was wrong, and this particular trdnsac-

refused payment, ana Oh being sued,
comes into coUrt and oonfes3eS that he
has been gambling in gold, and pleads
that his loss being n gambling debt, IS
not oollectablc. / is TO be hoped that
this heroic defense will he as successful
in saving Mr.. Gou,d's pocket, as 1t IS IN
raising his position in public estimation.
