AZ Know That"

A London paper has heard of a case
where droll fellow named Scrubbs got
into first-class railway carriage, before
smoking carriages were invented. In the
carriage was seated a sour looking old
gentleman. After the train had started,
Scrubbs took ont his pipe.
"You mustn't smoke here, at once said
the old gentleman.
Il know that" replied Scrubbs. He
then calmly filled his pipe.
''Did L not tell you" said the old gen
tleman again, ''that you can't smoke in
here?'
II know that" gloomily replied
Scrubbs, taking out his fusee box. He
lit a fusee, but now the wrath of the old
gentleman was dreadful.
You shan't smoke here, sirr' he
shrieked.

ing the fusee to exhaust itself, when he
lit another, and another; the stencil was

The Early Days OF lay Gould.

In the course of an interesting sketch
OF JAY Gould, written by tho New York
correspondent OF the Rochester Demo-
crm, the writer says: Jay Gould was
born forty-tive years ago in RoXburv,
Delaware county, n Y.-a rough and
sequestered spot, where poverty was the
general condition, with few opportuni-
ties for education and improvement.
His parents were poor and being early
thrown upon his own resources he soon
displayed that faculty for acquisition
which has thus far marked his history.
His father was a farmer, and as Jay was
puny and unable to work, his parents
were discouraged at the child's poor
prospects. He lost his mother in his
tenth year, and as home had
no charms TO detain him. he deter
mined to go to Hobart and attend
school. In order to pay his board he
aided man in bookkeeping and gen
eral accounts, i'll which he was remark
! ably expert. Indeed, every one he met
was soon convinced that Farmer Gould's
boy was keen at everything.
Two years afterward Jay Gould was
clerling in Roxbury store, where he
made his mark as the hveliest, sharpest,
manifest fellow Of his size ever seen in
that place. Squire Burhall, his employ
er, is still alive, and keeps one OF those
old-fashioned country stores where one
finds almost everything that is required.
The squire little thought that his clerk,
smart as he was, would ever make such
a figure in the world Jay, even then,
was looking far ahead Every spare
moment was devoted to the study of
surveying, which he intended to make
his profession. Before he reached
eighteen so month was offered him
to assist in making map of Delaware
county, which he readily accepted.
His employer failed just before the
work reached completion, and Gould
finished the Job, which proved remuner-
alive, and no doubt yielded 5000 clear
profit. This encouraged him to continue
surveying, and he did some work Of this
kind in adjacent counties, after which
he made surveys in Michigan and Ohio.
He had turn for writing, and the first
history Of Delaware county was from his
pen. We thus see him before he reached
full manhood, light built, energetic
pedestrian, who mastered every diff
Guilty and surprised the public by the
contrast between his diminutiye size and
his rare ability. His maps and his sur
veys gave him a capital of 81. 600 before
he was twenty-one

ON THE TRAIN.

STORY OF A YOUNG WOMAN'S RAILWAY
ADVENTURE IN RUSSIA.
1t was early morning. The ladies'
waiting room at one of the stations near
Moscow was empty. No train would ar
rive or depart for the next two hours.
The man whose duty it was to keep the
apartment in order had been so lucky as
to find two or three cigarettes and few
matches forgotten by some passenger,
SO, throwing down his broom and many
colored feather brush, he stretched him
self on one Of the sofas and prepared
to enjoy the luxury of comfortable
smoke, muttering, meanwhile, maledic-
tions on the hardship of his lot.
Scarcely any sleep, with these inces-
SAINT night trains and work beginning
with the dawn, and all for very little
pay. How very sleepy am" and turn
ing on his side he fell asleep.
After about an hour he was aroused
from delightful dream of a game of
billiards, in which he had but to sweep
uncounted heaps of winnings into his
pockets, by hard blow and an angry
voice exclaiming:
SECT off that sofai How dare YOU
sleep there and in those muddy boots,
too. Suppose, now, some lady CORE
spondent were to come here and see this
and it were to get into the st. Peters
burg papers, what would become of usy'
Arising quickly the culprit, with
shame, picked up his brushes and went
to work, admonished by the sound of
hasty footsteps and the slamming of
doors that guards, conductors, porters
and passengers were swarming in.
Voices were asking: when will the
next train arrive 2" . When will train
go?"
An authoritative voice in stern ac-
cents made reply:
"a train will come in and will leave
this station in half an hour No tickets
can be sold as the seats are all engaged
in advance for the troops
How vexatious How inconvenient!
Ii l had only known it J If it had been
advertised! Put another car on or let
passengers go in a freight train y echoed
on all sides.
" It is impossible was the stern re-
joinder 'sNo car is to be put on and
passengers are never allowed to enter
the freight trains and the inexorable
window was closed with bang.
The passengers uttered various forms OF
lamentation and objurgation, but finding
the case to be really a hopeless one,
after much pushing and jostling began
to separate, just as the soldiers, with
knapsacks, rafting firearms and army

top of the car as beacon, But you had
better get out soon and sit IN the
wood A guard win be here in less than
half an hour. Be silent about this or
you may get into trouble. Goodnight"
One by one the bales were rapidly
turned out and piled upon the sleighs,
which went off at full speed. She was
again alone. She got out and sat down
under the trees. When the guard came
she was afraid to tell him the truth, but
said she had got lost in the woods. He
took her to his hut, where she sat by the
stove till morning, when she walked to
a neighboring village and procured
conveyance with which to reach home,
now not many miles distant.

place in court house. The robbers

Dangers Of a Free Press.

A little Oil City boy, whose father
gave him printing press the other day,
has already discovered the dangers and
pitfalls which srsfound the path OF the
printer. He set up and printed little
gilt-edged card with the warning phrase,
" Paint look out !" By some means
this card became fastened to his sisters
hat, and hung juGsa ABOVE her left ear,
where he who ran could read, and when
she went down street there was grin
extending clear from Pearl avenue to
the Exchange; and that night the boy
traded off his pIlntlng press for a yellow
dog and popgun.

Quacks and Superstitions.

No part of the Rev. DIR. Upham's
Grnce church lecture on 6 Some t'olhes
of Some Sensible People" was more
heartily enjoyed by his large audience
than his protest against quack doctors
and the superstitions which many people
still entertain concerning certain alleged
cures for disease. He instanced this re-
cipe for whooping-cough, once held In
high favor here in New England: "Cut
off a lock of the child's hair, roll it in
butter, and give it to q yellow dog. Be
particularly careful to observe this last
direction, as no Newfoundland canine or
black-and tan terrier will do"
The speaker said that while pastor
in !: cultivated New England city he was
called to visit a young woman who was
said to be in the last stages Of consump-
tion although he had seen her at church
in perfect health within twenty-four
hours. He found that she had employed
doctor who had stepped into his pro-
fession from a tin peddler's cart, after
three weeks of :" study" and that he had
told the family that the decay in GER
tain tooth had gone down on her lungs
and placed her in the last stages, etc.
The woman is still alive, weighs 200
pounds and bids fair to live for forty
years longer. -.sprinaield Nos. Repu6-
