JAY GOULD.
The Personal Habits of the Conspicuous

The Personal Habits of the Conspicuous
millionaire.
[St. Louis Republican.
Mr.. Gould's millions now crowd close to
those of Vanderbilt. He is a man of finer
texture than the old commodore's son. He
doesn't run to fine houses, costly stables and
blooded steeds. At night, when he dismisses
his operators from the telegraph Office in his
own house in Fifth avenue, and enters up in
a little book the telegraphic reports of the
receipts of the various railroads which he
owns, he does not 60 to club to carouse, to
a banquet to steam up with champagne, or
to theater; he retires to the recesses of a
peaceful library, and, with his young sons
about him, reads the Latin classics, the
world forgetting, but not by the world for
got-by large majority. The next morn
ing early he has the telegraph doing light
ming service, and he is sending an electric
shock through Wall street as soon as the
bulls and bears come into that field for pas
ture. Mr.. Gould is liberal man, although
when he makes bequest he does not have
the information written in manifold
and sent to all the newspapers. The first
news New York had of his gift to the Men,
phis sufferers of $4,000 came from Mem.
phis, as did the news of the second gift of
5000. Mr.. Gould, being a small man of
little physical prowess, is naturally not dis
posed to put himself tecklessly in the way
of the horns of the bulls and the claws of
the bears. There are some men in Wall
street, as Mr.. Gould has reason to know,
who wish to resent their losses with their
fists, and ore disposed to follow Mr.. Selover's
example and despatch him bodily down into
convenient area. Accordingly Mr.. Gould
keeps his office guarded by a stout Irishman,
who prevents the intrusion of visitors, and
he has usually . private way to get out into
the street. He has, too, it is said, a big Ital-
ian book keeper, who accompanies him on
many Of his business trips about town, and
stands ready to protect his millionaire en-
ploYar.

pie.
Another overlooking house heard Mai.
Whittle last evening at the Baptist church,
on the beginning of his last week of public
service in St. Paul. 1t will be gratifying to
the friends of Christ in st. Paul to be told
that no less than forty arose for prayer in
the afternoon service at the Opera House,
showing conclusively that the interest is not
weakening. Maj. Whittle announced that
in addition to tho usual services a service of
half an hour for the boys and girls would be
held at Plymouth church. This (Monday)
evening the service will be Gospel temper
ance meeting, when several of the reformed
will give their testimony.
In Matt. 81 we read the parable of the
man who had not on wedding garments, and
the displeasure of the king thereat. God Of

the day of grace is past. There is differ
ence between a citizen of the kingdom and
member of the church. The kingdom of
heaven is to DO hereafter, while the church
is thing only of this life. There are, un-
fortunately, many in the church who have
no claim to the kingdom of heaven.
The king, we read, invited many to come
to the marriage of his son. This is the
gospel as it is now presented to the world;
this is being done. But the king has not
come yet-the Judgment has not taken
place. We read also that the kingdom of
heaven is like unto the letting of a net
into the sea-after which the fish should be
sorted.
The king invited many guests to tho feast
prepared for them. 50 does our king invite
to the kingdom of heaven, to feast prepar-
ed for them. The king provided for each
guest wedding robe. 1t cost the guest
nothing, all he had to do was to put it on.
So with US. We cannot provide ourselves
with the robe of righteousness, but God will
provide it for US. We are sinful, and God
does not like sin. Now how can you, sinful
as you are, come into Gods presence? Why,
just as the poor, ragged beggars, came into
the presence of the King at the feast by
wearing the robe prepared for him. So We
come into Gods presence, by covering ou1
sinful rags with the robe of Christ's right
eousness. We can do nothing to get it but
ask for 1t. And when We have gotten

Il Strong Seymour Boom IL, Pro0ress-Mis-
cellaneons Gossip.
Washington Special, Dec. 8.
1t Is certain that a strong Seymour move
ment is developing among Southern Sena-
tors. To-day one of the Armest personal
friends of Senator Bayard said: :sAs much
as would like to see Bayard nominated,
Seymour is my first choice. because We will
carry New York with him, and we are not
sure that We can do so with anybody else.
We must make Seymour run somehow. We
did it in 1868 against his positive declaration.
and we will have to do it again. Besides,
with Seymour, we should present a united
front. The party would at once be rid of
the discussions, jealousies, and bicker-
ings that will continue to exist if
any other man is nominated. Seymour alone
can save the Democratic party from defeat,
and he must do it,
There was gathering of about dozen
Southern Democrats last night, when the
subject of the Presidential election came M.
gentleman present says it was significant
to notice how much of the same feeling pre-
vailed that led SO many Southern Democrats
to unite to break down filibustering during
the last electoral count. There was a gen.
eral hostility manifested to MIR. Tilden. and
several declared that Northern Democrats
had never been able to do them any good
since tho war begun, and some went so far
as to say it was time for the South to look
more closely after her own interests and de-
mand more attention than she has received
from the Northern wing of the party.
There is now no question that Tildeu
and Hendricks are against each
other for 1880. Hendricks daily repeats his
declaration that he will not consent to run on
ticket again with Tilden, but it is by no
means positive as regards Seymour. It is
clear that the Hendricks people are intrieu-
ing to have Seymour nominated, in expecta-
ton that he may decline, and that Hendricks
will then succeed him, but that plan must
fail before it has begun, as Senator Herman,
Gov. Seymour's friend and neighbor, has
authority to say that Seymour will under no
circumstance consent to run.
Among the aspirants for Presidential
honors in the Democratic party is Gov.
James E. English, of Connecticut, whose
trumpeter will be in Washington next week
to sound his praises and enlighten the Demo
cratic statesmen at the capital concerning
the early history of this candidate for the
Presidential nomination. The claims Of
Mr.. English will be urged with zeal, and a
brief biography has been printed for general
circulation throughout the country.

MAX MAEETZEK.
The Famous Opera Manager Missing

The Famous Opera Manager Missing.
ST.. LOUIS, Dec. 7.-Nothing has been heard
of Max Maretzek up to late hour to.nish
The members of the company ar greatly dis
tressed at his disappearance. His spirits have
been much depressed of late because of the
non-success of his opera, Sleepy Hollow
and he has also been emharra.s Il financially,
which worried hima good deal. These facts,
and the additional one snat when he left the
Lindell house Thursday morning he took
nothing with him except what he wore and
that he was known to have no money with
him, leads to the belief rhat he either
wandered out into the country it mental
alteration or has suicided. The latter theory
has the most advocates. The police are
searching for him in every direction and tele-
grams have been sent to numerous places in
hopes of finding him. The company was given
a benefit tonight at the Opera house. and the
chorus and orchestra will leave for their homes
in a day or two. Mr.. Lyon, agent, and Mr..
Peak, stage manager. and perhaps Mr.. Turner
will remain here several days, or until there
are no further hopes of hearing of the missing
manager.
New YORK Dec. THE Sun furnishes the
following: Max Maretzek, who departed mys-
teriously from St. Louis on Thursday last,
abandoning his opera company there, arrived

who has been his physician for ten years, said
last night: II was called this morning to attend
Naretzek. and found him in such physical and
mental condition, that have forbidden him
seeing anyone or doing any business. He is of
a nervous, sanguine temperament and has
been overworked since last September. He
has had so many sleepless nights and busy
days, that he has become completely broken
down in health. Last September he had a
good deal of trouble of the same kind and his
condition nov is very much what it
was then. What he must have

doubt that if he is left alone he will come out
all right in the end.

widespread feeling even among people not
holding orthodox views, that there is danger
