Jay G0uld's Tannery.

Jay Gould used to live not far from
here, and when he came to Scranton
the other day with Sam Sloan and Sid
ney Dillon there was general desire to
see him. He did not stay very long,
however, to make or renew acquaint-
ances. His train came laundering down
from Moscow at the rate of fifty miles
an hour, and the order, "Clear the
tracki" went through from here to Os-
wego as soon as the party came in sight.
Here he found time to step out on the
platform. The only new acquaintance
he made was w. r. Storrs, general coal
agent of the Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western Railroad. Storrs is an austere,
thorough-going, hard-working man, who
has general supervision of the mines in
this section. When he and Gould were
introduced he asked after Gould's health,
and the latter replied by asking,
ssWhat's your capacityP" He meant for
producing coal. Mr.. Storrs understood
and promptly answered, after which the
party boarded their special train and
went flying through the Notch.
An old man who saw Gould on the
platform, and heard that he could not
rem amber whether he gave his check
for five millions or ten millions when he
RdLuOTco III u nOIiC OClC5i oPA SOOShs oeAAo v
fsI worked with him more than quar-
ter of century ago up the mountain at
Gouldsboro. He got into snarl with
the authorities there about the owner
ship of the tannery, and the military
had to be called out to drive him from
possession. He was as hard to fight
then as he is to-day. The whole region
was excited about it, and the affair was
known all over the country as 'the
Gouldsboro rebellion A big lawsuit
grew out of it. Charley Pike, of Wilkes
barre, defended Gould, and got him off
all right"
The scene of the tannery warfare of
which the old man spoke is a short dis
tance south of this city, on the Pocono
Mountain. When Gould passed through
it the other day he is said to have re-
marked to Sloan: ''This place don't
seem to have changed much since 1 ran
the tannery here. ."-ScrGnton (Pa.)

Meta Lander is the nom de plume of
Mrs. Margeret Woods Lawrence, wife
OF DIR. Lawrence, formerly of the Hart
ford Theological Seminary, but now liv-
ing at Marblehead, Mass. Her father is
DIR. Woods, of Andover
Mrs. Sara X. Bolton, of the N. Y. In
dependent, has gone to Europe. She is
deeply and intelligently interested in
all matters of reform; is highly appre-
ciated member of the editorial staff of
the paper she represents, and will learn
as well as rest in her tour abroad.
Miss Frances f. willard overcame
all prejudice and quite captivated the
hearts of the people wherever she spoke
in the South. The Baptist Courier, of
South Carolina, says of her:
We listened to her one hour, with reserve
OF patience in her favor which she would not
have exhausted If she had continued sixty
minuets longer; a remark we could not
make, under like circumstances, concerning
more than half a dozen men of all whom we
have heard speak.
We came away thoroughly persuaded that
1t is not necessarily an unwomanlY thing for
a woman to be public speaker. Miss Will
lard's department was in the highest degree
womanly. Standing by the table on q low
platform in front of the pulpit, clad in SIM
pie, tasteful black suit and still wearing her
bonnet, pleading in soft, sweet tones-a
voice that had tears in it-no ranting, no
sky-rocketing, no posturing, not even the
lifting of an arm Except the occasional uRcon.
scious movement of the hand or forearm),
she seemed the own sister of every man
among ms, and the idea of impropriety in her
so appearing and speaking before us could
not have been more distant IL she had been
talking to each one of us aloen in a drawing
room. %
From a literary point of view the address
was gem. 1t had not proceeded two minutes
before you were aware that a mind of very
high order was claiming your attention, and
at every step you found fresh occasion to
admire the elegant culture which all faculties
appear to haYe received. There was not a
weak sentence from beginning to end, there
was not a tawdry figure, there was not su-
perfious word. There were no anecdotes" !"
none Of the Incidents" humorous or path
etic, which constitute the chief stock in trade
of most temperance lecturers, and no pad
ding, that too common artifice of incapable,
or lazy, or too hasty speakers and writers. In
formation was given, objections were weigh
ed considerations favorable were urged, ap-
peals were made, reason and imagination,
judgement, taste, and memory, all were in
full exercise, and then the hearer sat not
entranced, not fascinated, but with sense Of
deep personal concern in the matter about
which that quiet, elegant sisterly woman
was talking.

The following item from the Mansfield
Herald would be valuable reading TO
some people in this county, if somebody
would kindly lend them a newspaper
long enough to read it: LAST July
slick-tongued person halted at the farm
of Commissioner Claburg, exhibited a
patent milk pail, induced the Commits
sioner to buy one and tried to have him
take the agency for their sale. He also
wanted Mr.. Claburg to sign a receipt tor
the pail purchased, which he refused to
do. The man afterward called on j. N.
Funk, of Butler township-who, it
seems, takes no home or county paper
sold him pail and took receipt. Later
the same programme was carried out
with John Schrack, of Monroe township.
Six months after Mr.. Schrack and Mr..
Funk were notified from Toledo that
their notes for 5000 each were past due
in the hands of a justice of the peace for
collection"

LEE THE PAST NE PAST.
BIT sir HENRY TAYLOR.

The sounds that round about me rise
Are what none other hears;
| see what meets no other eyes
Though mine were dim with tears.
The breaking Of the summers morn -
The tinge on house and tree
The billowy clouds-the beauty born
OF that celestial sea.
The freshness Of the fairy land
Lit by the golden gleam--
II is my youth that where l stand
Comes back as in dream.
Alas the real never lent
Those tints too bright to last;
They lado and bid me rest content,
And let the past be past.
In every change of mans estate
Are lights and guides allow'd;
The fiery pillar will not wait,
But, parting, sends the cloud.
Nor mourn the less the manly part
OF life to leave behind;
My loss is but the lighter heart,
My gain the graver mind.

Sailing on a Boiling Sea.

| Was anxious to investigate all these
things a little nearer So, with some
difficulty, prevailed on my captain and
men 10 return with me tn the sea beach,
where we tied rope To the dincy and
hauled it with much fatigue back over the
crater floor TO the lake, where We launched
it. and all got in boldly together. But
very charity did we row out in the hot
water, and closely did We watch the clouds
Of vapor which the wind swept over the
surface. One Of those at last reached us,
and 50 choked one OF our men, with weak
lungs, that he was seized with a lit Of
coughing, and we had 10 take him back
TO shore Then we three rowed quietly
across the lake during lull in a wind,
having first taken the precaution TO pro-
tect our nostrils by tying on handkerehiefs.
The water OF the lake was Of a nilky
opaane cast, but We could feel with our
car, that it was IN most places not over
ten feet deep Lines upon the shore
showed that il daily ross and feel slightly
with the tide of the sea outside. Ia fact,
this lake is the fltering of sea water
through into the lower depressions Of the
crater, where it is heated by the a5un-
dant gas jets coming through the bottom.
In many spots the water was boiling furi-
ously, with much froth and foam, while
still its heat Was much below the boiling,
point Of 2I2 deg Fahrenheit. These
were dangerous places The abundant
air In the water diminished materially its
buoyancy, and our boat sank alarmingly
lox in crossing them. We landed across

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Su, takes pessimistie view of
the chances of making any real reform in
the civil service at Washington. He
charges that there is not only incompe-
tence in the departments, but there Is
also immortality, vice, wiekedness. He
asks, in italics "What would simple
minded people probably say were they
tod that the wages Of sin are borne on
the pay rolls Of departments; that appoint
ments are made and persons are kept i'll
Office on grounds that would put TO shame
the face Of virtue and shock every true
moral sentiment Not only do these
things exist, but to an extent that few
outside of Washington suspect II, in
stead of this general charge, which Is not
a new one by any means, the correspond
ent had cited particular cases, giving the
full facts in each, there would have been
morechance of his allegation leading to
the ultimate employment Of the proper
remedies for the extIrpatIon OF such a
vicious system Of things. The correspon-
den. adds: $50 long as a United States
senator is able to quarter his sister, his
wiie's sister, her mother, and another
relative on the government as employees
in the departments, he is not going to re-
form anything that may disturb the happy
arrangement. 1t is doubtless true that
secretary that has such hold on senator
especially if he be of opposite politics,
feels himself 50 far secure that one vote
is certain for almost anything he may
wish to have enacted" Here is case
where the correspondent might properly
have used name. Who is the senator
who thus quarters his relatives upon the
civil servicel In the interest OF reform
the country is entitled to know.

Black to the Rescue.

Col. Bob ingersolI, the great atheist
and mfidel, has met fteman at last who
is too much for him. This grand warrior
in behalf of the christian religion is Hon.
Jeremiah $. Black, the great lawyer and
former chief justice Of Pennsylvania,
When he gets through with the Colonel
there won't be much left Of inge,sollism.
The Judge can't be hamboozled, confused
or mixed up Neither the speclous reas-
oninq of Inaersoll, his ridicule nor his
sarcasm, can upset Judge Black nor lessen
the force Of his powerful logie. 1t Is a
GOOD thing that the skeptical Colonel has
finally fallen INTO hands that are able to
master him and hold up his folly to the
gaze of mankind. 1t is Of more weight
that this man should be laid out by Judge
Black than that he had been assailed by a
thousand pulpits, COR thousands OF people
will read the great lawyer who would not
pay any attention to the preachers The
mind Of Judge Black is peculiarly htted
to oyerwhelm a man like Ing rsoil, who
would be nothing if he was not all inhdel
That is his whole stock III trade-that and
the advocacy of the equally evil principles
of the Republican party. Trying to teach
mankind, who are bad enough now, the
monstrous doctrine that there is no God,
no great, overruling, supreme Being
that the world made Itself by natural
process Of evolution-a doctrine that rs
repulsive, ridiculous and incomprehensi-
BILE To the most ordinary mind. All these
wild. idle, foolish, childish theories have
been completely overturned BY Judge
Black, and in such way, too, that any
one who reads him will never again think
of believing Ingersoll; in fact Will only
think Of him as luhatic or fool 1t was
a bad day for Robert when the great
Judge took up the cudgel and from that
day We may date the downfall nf the inh-
del and his theory
