on opposite sides of the street"
The present attitude Of the Messrs.
Gould and Vanderbilt in the case of
the Erie Railroad rather throws cold
water on this theory, plausible though
IL may seem.
Mr., Gould is not q man to let his
left hand know what his right hand
does, and the world is not dinned by
the noiso of his great charities, and yet
l am told that the record of his gen
erous ds,ifpublished, would not on
" surprise most people, but would put
to shame the heneiices of many who
have been lauded to the skies for
their good deeds. The widow of his
old partner, Colonel Fisk, in the Her
aid of Wednesday last, bore testi-
mony that he, of all the old friends
and acquaintance of the once Prince
of Erie. was the only one who has
thought of her in her needs and kept
the wolf from her door for years.
Mrs. Fisk is but one of many who
have cause to be grateful to Mr..
Gould.
All Mr.. Gould's beneficiaries have
not been as prompt rs Mrs. Fisk In
recognizing his kindness. In this
respect they resemble the young la
dy in the story who was saved from
drowning by poor fisherman. See
ing her rescuer in the street she turn
ed into q store to avoid meeting him.
Many of Mr.. Gould's bitterest enc
mics, | am told, are men who are in
debted to him for great financial fa-
vors, which they thus repay.
In causing the arrest of Welles
and in prosecuting him Mr.. Gould
has shown pluck and nerve Of more
than ordinary kind. II will be re-
membered that during one OF Mr.
Gould's visits to the West, not sc
very long ago, a plot was laid by q
gang Of desporadoes to capture him
and hold him prisoner until large
ransom should be obtained for his
release. That this plot was not car
ried out was due to no lack of cout
age on the part Of its designers, but
to circumstances over which they hae
no control. The robbery Of Stewart
remains and other deeds OF equa
daring prove that there are men il
this country who will hesitate at NJ
crime, no matter how desperate O
difficult, that will yield large pccu
mary returns. There isso ccrtaint,
that Weles did not intend to carry
out his threat of assassination, an,
there was no knowing at the tim
that he did not have confederate
equally as desperate as he; Therefore
in bringing this scoundrel to justice
Mr.. Gould has not only done society
a service, but has shown that he pos
sesses moral and physical coura9'
fully equal to his financial nerve.

ing from the District Attorney GER
tain newspaper slips taken from the
prisoner when he was arrested. Mr..
Seoville ayerred that Guiteau's un-
balanced mind, being fed by suggcs-
tons in the newspapers that but for
Garfield everything would be harmo-
NOUS in the Republican party, was
completely carried away, and that it
became his fixed idea that his duty
to God and the country required him
to remove the President He de
clared if the jury decided that Cult
eau was insane, then their verdict
would say that the blame for the
crime rested on the politicians Of the
present day.

Water Of the Great Salt Lake.

Four barrels of the water of the
Great Salt Lake will leave, after
evaporation, nearly barrel of salt.
The lake was discovered in the year
1920, and no outlet from it has yet
been ascertained Four or five large
streams empty themselves into it,
and the fact OF its still retaining its
saline properties seems to point to
the conclusion that there exists some
secret bed Of saline deposit over
which It's waters flow, and that thus
they continue salt; for, though the
lake may be but the residue of an
immense sea which once covered the
whole Of this region, yet, by its con-
tinuing SO salt with the amount of
fresh water pouring into it daily, the
idea Of the existence of some such
deposit from which it receives its
supply seems to be only too probable.
For the past fifteen ycars-until last
year-the lake has been gradually
rising; but in 1879 it receded some
two or three feet-a most unusual
occurrence, owing to the exceptional
" warm summer. There are no fish
in the lake, but myriads of flies COW
er it's surface. The buoyancy of the
water is SO great that it is not at all
an easy matter to drown in it. The
entire length of the Salt Lake is
eighty five miles, aud its breadth
forty-five miles. Compared with the
Dead Sea, the Great Salt Lake is
longer by orty-three miles and broad
er by thirty five.

Female Education.

1t was a judicious resolution OF a
father, as well as a most pleasing
compliment to his wife, when, on be-
ing asked what he intended. to do
with his girls, he replied: Il intend
to apprentice them all to their excel
lent mother, that they may learn the
art of improving time, and be fitted
to become, like her, wives, mothers,
heads of families, and useful mem
bers of society" Equally just, but
bitterly painful was the remark of
the unhappy husband of vain
thoughtless, dressy slattarn: ut is
hard to say it, but if my girls are to
have any chance of growing up good
for anything, they must be sent out

A great deal of time is wasted by
young people who have no particular
aim in life Aimlessness and lack of
motive are the chief obstacles to the
best and most profitable use of time.
With goal, to attain, an end to ac-

ficient to hold the mind steadfastly
to its purpose, the sands Of time are
easily transmitted into golden rain.

Some farmers think that dressing
with manure is best done during the
winter. In the fall, the manure I'M
less very fine and evenly spread will
cover up injuriously much Of tho
plant. When spcad in winter, on tho
contrary, it acts as protection while
the plant is dormant, neutralizing the
effects of freezing and thawing. An
authority on the subject advises that
artificial fertilizers be spread on grain
lands in the fall and barnyard man
ure after the snow comes.

Those contemplating trip westward
will certainly do well to carefully con-
suit the time tables Of the Baltimore
and Ohio road. Its celebrated fast
trains, its sure connections, and rates
always as low rs the lowest, make II
beyond all controversy the best line
west. Colonists are carried in first
class cars on fast trains, and every
possible care is taken to insure comfort
and convenience. BY the Baltimore
and Ohio only is the choice Of routes
offered to the west, via 81. Louis or
Chicago, and in either case, trains run
through without change of cars. Di-
rect connection is made ut both cities
with all leading lines to the west,
northwest and southwest, and there is
but single change of cars to Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska, Texas. Minnesota
etc. No other line can offer such adj
vantages as the Baltimore and Ohio.
1t costs but very little time and trou-
BILE to learn this, and in the end may
lead to the saving of much Of both as
well as m ney. Above NIL things do
