JAY GOULD FIsTI0ALLY BEATEN
THE CAUSES LEADING TO IT.

Notlong ago the Telegraph brought
the news that Jay Gould had been
beaten by Selover, a stock broker.
The following from correspondence
of the Wisconsin State Journal is the
most ineligible account Of the causes
leading TO it which we have seen:
JAY GOULD POUNDED.
The city was astonished, and delight
ed as well, on Thursday, by the intelli-
gence that a. stock-broker named Selo-
yer had beaten Jay Gould. It appear
ed that Gould was carrying q great
deal more Of Atlantic and Pacific tele-
graph stock than he wanted, and he
did not have. as much Western Union
as he needed to control that gigantic
concern. Selover. Keene, the Califor-
nian, and other operators were in a
tight place with various stocks that
they had, and they appealed TO Gould
to help them. Gould agreed to do
this, for he was short Of the stocks
they were overloaded with, and he
Joined the confederacy upon an agree
ment that they would let him have
10000 shares Of their stock, just to
save him from loss; and that they
should as a matter of safety unload

Gould's brokers bought every share of
Western Union they put upon the
market. BY this smart operation, he
got stocks enough at a low price to
cover what he needed, and got posses
sion Of Western Union. 1t was a
wonderfully acute transaction, and he
made mint Of money by it. Natur-
ally they were indignant at this piece
of sublimated rascality, and Keene
tried TO shoot him. Selover did not at
tempt to ayenge himself with the
pistol, but he went for Nh. Gould the
first time he met him, and knocked
him down an area, and pounded him
until he was half killed. Sel0yer says
he did it to brand him as a liar, q
thief, d. scoundrel, and q man who is
incapable Of doing a fair or square
thing. Gould is, doubtless, the most

From the Western Rural.
THE FINANCIAL PROBLEM.

Repeal the Resumption ACT and re-
m0netiZe silver, is all there is to the
the financial problem at this time. 1t
is useless TO go into an extended dis
cussi0n Of the questions involved, for
everything that can be said, pro or con,
has been said a long time ago, and moth
ing that tie people are not perfectly
familiar with can possibly be uttered
upon the topic. 1t is for this reason
that we do not go into q fuller discus
sion of the problem in these columns.
The people have, we believe, been edu-
Gated up to the determination to de-
mand the repeal Of the Resumption
Act and the RECOMMENDATION Of silver.
In cur Judgment this will be a solution
of our financial difficulties, and all that
will be required. What we need as
much as we need larger circulating
medium, is the return Of confidence.
Capital is shy. because it is uncertain of
the future. IT feels that resumption
in 1870 will be bankruptcy and ruin,
and it very judiciously proposes to keep
out Of the general wreck We have
about $700,000,000 that should be in
circulation, but for want Of confidence,
is not, 1t is not enough TO do the bus
mess Of this country whit is scarce
ly half enough, but ii would make a
wonderful difference If it were in cir
culation, The repeal OF the Resump-
ton Act will draw this money from
the vaults and place it in active bust
ness. Business will bring us gold, and
we shall thus be placed in position to
get our share Of that coin, and will be
better prepared in three years to re-
sumo than we shall be i'll twenty under
any compulsory system OF resumtion.
Then remonetiZe silver and make it's
coinage free. This will give us what
additional money the necessities Of
commerce demand, and resumption
will be made still easier.

when ambitious country people read
that in the public schools Of our large
cities, vocal music and drawing are
taught with no extra expense TO the
pupil, and compare the opportunities
afforded by country schools with those
that may be enjoyed in cities, they feel
at once like taking up their abode in
cities. When city people read Of the
advantages OF living in the country,
enjoying pure air, stiffness, sunsets and
sltnrises, the main reason Of those
with children for not going thither at
once, is the stubborn fact that the
facilities afforded in country schools
are SO far inferior to those afforded in
city schools. Now this ought not SO
to be. Country children deserve as well
OF the means Of public instruction as
city children do. But their parents

TEXTBOOK LEGISLATION.

TEXTBOOK LEGISLATION.
1t is wonderful how easily our self
governing Americans lose sight Of the
first principle Of a republican system,
that popular evil can not be cor
rected by mere legislation; it must be
cured mainly by correcting the people,
Enlighten and purify the public senti-
ment, and legislation Will prove both
intelligent and effective; legislate first,
and the law is either a tyranny or a
dead letter.
We say this, with the mooted ques-
tion relative to the textbook evil in
mind. Our readers have already learn
ed, through our columns, something Of
the Legislative schemes which have
been proposed. While not all alike
perfect in unreason, every one over
looks the principle we have just sug-
gested. ANY scheme for central
agency for making textbooks, com
polling absolute uniformity, or for
promoting changes, in the present
stage Of public enlightenment, simply
"reckons without it's host" Under
the first form, it will defeat itself by
the sheer stupidity Of the resulting
products; under the second, it will
either have to divide the spoils among
the interests concerned, or end in a
ring and a monopoly; under the last.
under all, we might say,-the result
will be re-legislation or evasion.
Hence, returning to our first princi-
ple,-we say the only wise and effec-
tive cure is in the better informing of
the people themselves; the proper edu-
cation Of teachers, and the wiser Selec-
tion OF school officers. When these
understand as they ought what is
wanted, and give themselves as they
ought to the work of securing it, that
and many, another plague in oul
school systems, will "be stayed" But
as for these radical attempts at mere
Legislative cure, they might just as well
be applied to the health of the masses
as to their education. We might just
as well attempt to cure empiricism
and malpractice, and the use Of crude
or spurious specifies, by legislating fol

A Westchester Co., n. z, farmer is
in the habit of sowing yellow Aber-
deem turnips among his corn at the last
passing OF his cultiYator, when the
plants are about two feet in height.
The turnips Go not make much growth
until the corn is cut, after which they
swell rapidly. The cost is nothing ex-
cept for seed and harvesting, and the
corn being already cut, is not injured
when the turnips are gathered in.
From one to four hundred bushels per
acre have been obtained without less

here,if she realize the Importance Of in
dividua1 deyelopment,she will so adjust
the exercises as not so surely to turn
out so many mere machines each year,
like patent watches, warranted to run
without fault for a specified time.
In this connection, let me urge upon
teachers to be careful how they APP
proach each individual child. In one
of our textbooks III this divine art, it
lis beautifully said Each human be-
ing is a peculiar thought of God, in
whatever constitutes it's individual
ity." Think, then, what you are doing,
when you carelessly take hold of that
/" thought of God" and seek to change
lit to your idea of what His thought
ought to be. The expression shocks
you, does it? Have you never done
lit? Have you never taken a little, ner-
yous, sensitive soul, with strong will
and tastes, and in the effort to control
the restless fingers, and apparently mis-
chief-makin9 brain, have you not
changed Goods thought into a me-
| chanical exponent of your rules of
order for five or six hours per day /?
BE thankful that it was no longer. The
necessary reaction from such a course
is not less your work than the en-
forced quiet, previously.
How many enjoy meeting school
children after they have passed the re-
CURED limits Of the sch00l-grounds, de
voted TO marching and military
Iorder ? Why do you not? I need
not explain. Study these thoughts
Of God" carefully, and if you cannot
do everything you see necessary for in
diyidual culture, | pray you, at least
refrain from cutting them al to fit the
same groove.
8. Free acteoity. The principle in
yolyed in this applies especially to
Sch00l-gOVernment. No words can ex-
press the Importance of this as a con-
trolling power, in all future years. 1t
consists in addressing the childs will
in such q way as to draw 1t on, if right
to turn it 2Djl5j2ag1y, If wrong; but
never to bend Or break it. We have
no more right TO break q will than to
| break an arm. Why" you will say,
Il must have obedience" Certainly
nos, however, to your will, as such,
but 10 the right. If you have not the
skill and tact to secure voluntary ODE
dieno9 to the right, pray earn your
bread and butter in some other way.
Don't NEEDLE with children. Like
Saul, who prosecuted the Christians,
you may think you are doing Gods
service; like him, too, you may be
mistaken. Happy, too, if your CONVEX
sion can be as sure and sound as his.
You may not use coercion in the
sense Of fear & Personal magnetism,-
nay, even the child's love for YOU. may
be used in such away rs to weaken his
moral force. With every free, CON
scious choice Of right, instead of wrong.
q human beings moral power and
strength Of character increases.
The converse Of this is also equally
true. Hence every time you decide
what is right, and, choosing for the
child, compel him To obey because YOU
say so, his moral nature is thereby
weakened.

RESUMPTlON-THE PRESENT AND THE
FUTURE.

AS the insane attempt at resumption
draws nearer, the quack doctors are
not only singly perpleNed about it, but
they are perpleXing each other. An
Ohio reporter intrudes upon the sacred
privacy of Mr. sherman, accomplishes
with him the thing called an Inter

him:
The banks will embarrass you by
returning the greenbacks for coin. and
keeping up the process as fast as the
greenbacks are returned to circulation
after resumption.
To which Mr.. Sherman responds as
follows:
They cannot do that. as they will
be required to retain proportion of
the greenhaeks rs part of their re-
serves. OF course an element of faith
Is necessary.
Now this reporter stands face to
face with Mr.. Sherman-hearsh him no
doubt, diStinctly-has no interest in
misreporting him: and yet we hardly
can believe that the great autocrat of
our national treasury would SO very
briefly show the utter perpleNity he is
| ln-show it by first affirming as fact
what is not a fact. but a falsehood.
The banks are under no legal restraint
to keep a dollar of gold back from re

gold in twenty-four hours And if
