JAY GOULD.

The purchase of the San Francisco
railroad by Gould and Huntington has
created a healthy sensation at Little
Rock, Ark. A number Of the leading
business men, interviewed by a cores
pondent of the N. O. Times-Demo-
crat, expressed serious apprehensions
as to the consequences to that city of
the grasping rapacity Of Gould. By
this purchase he will control the Ar
kansas outlet to St. Louis from Fa-
yetteVille, across the mountains as he
already does that via the Iron Noun
tain, between which two roads compe-
tition will be hence destroyed. Said a
prominent merchant of Little Rock to
this correspondent:
Little Rock must have a Compel
ing outlet to St. Louis and the east by
rail, and the sooner she awakes to that
fact the sooner will she become a great
commercial centre. Gould has COB
bled the Frisco line, and he will shortly
purchase the Little Rock and Fort
Smith road, and perhaps the Little
Rock and Mississippi river and Texas
line, and thus virtually control the bulk
of the business of the southwest"
There is no doubt that such is the
design of Gould. He is one against
whom al other interests, and all hon.
est men, should combine. His greed
and rapacity are fercely sanwiched be-
tween his contempt for honest people,
of every class, and his own total desti-
tuition OF principle. He has a con-
science that yields to pressure to any

THE LATE SENATOR CARPENTER

when the history of the present
age IS written it will undoubtedly pro-
nounce Mr.. Carpenter as one of the
great men Of his time-great in legal
ability, great as an orator, and grea. as
debater, and also as having occu-
pied a high position as a statesman.
And when it reaches the page where
his death must be recorded, it will be
met with a deep sigh of regret that the
nation should have been deprived OF
the services of one so able while yet in
the strength and vigor of manhood. -

From the Courier Journal.
Washington, January "a. - Two
committees of the house are engaged
in active warfare as to which shall have
control of interoceanic canal matters.
The foreign affairs committee wants it,
and the commerce committee are cry
ing for it. The members of each COM
mittee say that the other committee
has no business with the question. The
result will be that the whole matter will
go before the house, and special COM
mittee on interoceanic canals will be
appointed, with Kasson as its chair
man. This will quiet the row between
the commerce and foreign affairs CON-
mittees.

The Tobacco Question.

An cd German friend contributes the fol-
lowing answer to an article in the Freie
Presse on the tobacco question:
The editor OF the Freie Presse is a defender
Of smoking, places on a par tobacco and grain
as of equal use and enjoyment; calls the con-
tradicion temperance folly, and thence he
infers that the same that could be SAID against
the culture of tobacco, could be alleged against
the culture of wine. barley and hops. There
exists little difference. Wine and beer and
barley yield not only an agreeable food, but
a nutriCious one too; and what is very i'm
portant: they do not SO much impoverlSh the
ground and are easier to be raised. There are
no IIavanna cigars like those fifty years ago.
You may Subsi>t upon barley alone for life,
and even upon beer and wine for long time,
but even those that appear grown together
with their pipes or glimmer- stalks, cannot
cease from eating.
Drinking beer, wine and barley-broth will
not lUathe the society, but smoking, chewing
many person, whereior smokers are not adj
mltted everywhere, not to speak OF the mum
datlon OF a room 10y splitting, because that IS
not general custom.
To affirm that prohibiting the culture Of to-
baCCo demands also setting aside railroads and
cotton, nobody will agree with. When there
has been time when these things were super
iluous, our time cannot do without them: but
tobacco taken away. the human race would
continue to exist and some millions more,
when instead OF niCotin herbs, grain and clover
were raised.
Smoking never would be developed ex
traordinarIy had not the governments of
Europe forbidden ii under the menace of the
most grevous penalties. People at that time
thought: all that government forbid must be
good and acted against command secretly.
All animals detest it except some poor chafers.
Now it may be necessity Of some persons,
mostly of those that commenced smoking on
their sChoolway.
bismarck, intending to enhance the price of
tobacco, and that Germany shall buy tobacco
from America rather than wheat and meat,
and raise grain and cattle instead Of it, looks
at time to come as he did in 1866 and 1870.
Germany is dependent on other countries for
SO many things, shall it buy wheat and meat
too, it could not stand with its population of
forty millions on a tract of land not SO large as
Texas. We need not stop the culture of to-
baCco here; it furnishes us with the almighty
dollar; We should attend more to the change
of crops.

General" took his arm and started. In three
minutes Gen. Grant slipped back into his
place, as calm and unconcerned as possible,
and his wife struggled back some moments
later on the arm of Gen. Badeau. Ii seemed
that no sooner had the ex-president stepped
into the corridor than there came cheer, and
a rush was made for him, before which he
quailed and fled to the blue room. There
were gathered half Of his old cabinet, his son
and his faithful followers. 1t would have made
some enemies wrthe to see him thus sur
rounded and the central figure at the nations
fete; and the ''Grant ring was Gordon OF
beautiful women drawn round him all those
hours. The ex-president has grown stout and
ruddy since becoming citizen; he turns the
scales at nearly two hundred pounds, and his
cheeks are round and bright as winter APP
pie. Six grandchildren in New York city
and. to be with his boys he announces
as his reason for setting in the metropolis.
Generals Babcock, Badeau and Beale were
near him. ex-Secretary Fish, ex-Secretary
Robson, ex-Attorney General Pierreponl,
Postmaster General Howe, his assistant
Frank IIatton, and scores of such faithful
friends were in the neighborhood. Toward
the second hour, while President Arthur S
hand was keeping up its unweared motions,
General Grant was seen to eye him phloso-
phically, and the conversation soon wondered
to the sub eCt Of Misunderstanding. He has prob
ably shaken hands with more people than
any other living American, and, since his first
honors of war days, has been kept steadily at
work. OF all the grand shakes the old com
mander ever encountered, nothing approached
the labor of the Garfield campaign. "rhe
people nearly shook me to pieces" said the
robust hero, and for long time after the siege
of that fall Of 1880 he was really
alarmed about his condition. The right
arm was lame for weeks, and, from SYM
pathy, the left one was nearly paraliHed, trem-
bling SO when he attempted to use it that he
could scarcely hold the reins while driving. The
mass-meetings of that campaign demanded
Misunderstanding from morning until midnight
whenever he could be caught or COrnered.
Some one suggested that the aiment be put
down as "presiden,'s paralysis" to which
name Gen. Grent objected, as he was not
president at that time and was in the came
paign working tor General Garfield. Secretary
Lincoln was telling some one of the times in
the white house twenty years ago, when
whole regiments would come in to the
levees. To all who gripped his hand
too Gercely President Lincoln retaliated
in kind, and the grippers, discounted
at first, never tried to crush his fingers again.
"Father was stronger than almost any other
man. said Secretary Lincoln, and people
who heard the sentence Involuntary gave a
little start for one is accustomed to hear that
president referred to in all other terms and
with all other associations than that Of father
and son.

The ship of state,

Sail, on, Oh Ship Of State.
Sail on, Q UNlGN, strong and great
Humanity with all its fears,
With all the hopes of future years,
Is hanghing breathless on thy fate!
We know what Master laid thy keel,
What Workmen wrought thy ribs Of steel.
Who made each mas, and sail, and rope,
What anvils rang, what hammers beat,
In what a forge and what heat
Were shaped the anchors of thy hope!
Fear not each sudden sound and shock,
IT'S of the wave and not the rock;
IT'S but the tapping of the sail,
And not rent made by the gale!
In spite ofrock and tempestS roar,
In spite OF false lights on the shore,
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea-
Our hearts, nor hopes, are all with thee,
Our hearts, our hoyS, our prayers, our tears
Our faith triumphant DER our fears,
Are all with thee-are all with thee?

The Village Blacksmith.

Under spreading chestnut tree
The village smithy stands;
The smith, a mighty man Is he,
With large and sinews hands;
Ane the muscles Of his brawny arms
AS strong as iron brands.
His hair is crisp, and black, and long,
His face is like the tan;
His brow is wet with honest sweat,
lie ears what 'er he can;
And looks the whole world in the face,
For he owes not any man.
Week in, week out, from morn till night,
You can hcarIhis bellows blow;
You can hear him swing his heavy sledge,
With measure beat and slow,
Like sexton ringing the village bell,
When the evening run is low.
And children coming home from school
Look in at the open door;
They love 10 see the flaming forge,
And hear the bellows roar,
And catch the burning sparks that fly
Like Chai from a threshing floor.

The Most ImnOrfant.

As the days go by and the time
draws near that decides the politi-
cal complexion Of our state gov
ernment for the next four years,
the usual amount of elimination
and re-crimination, of charges and
counter-charges fiIlsthe columns of
the party press, and while no de-
nunciation is too severe for those
candidates who happen to be on
the opposition ticket, no laudation
is too great for those who stand
on the platform supported by the
partisan paper. Alternately spat-
tered by foes and slobbered by
friends, the candidate is made to
feel that his way, like that of the
transgressor, is hard, and he must
sincerely sigh for the eve of cleo
ton, that bis troubles NAV be over
aud he be out Of his misery, one
way or the other.
In our. humble opinion, the
question of whether Moody or
Smith shall be our governor for
the next four years is entirely sub
ordinate to the more important
question OF who shall be our rep
resentatives' and state senators to
legislate for this commonwealth,
and to elect two United States
senators. Time was when state
sovereignty was more of cardinal
principle in politics than it now is;
that the state officials were most
important persons, and were, in
their several jurisdictions, of almost
equal Importance with the presl-
dent himself. But we are now 8
nation-a word that good many
of US spell this way, NATION
with all that that implies. Far be
it from us to take one jot away
from the tremendous dignity tha
encireles a state official, or attemp
to dim ray of effulgence tina
emanates from the angus
form of governor or secre
tary or treasurer; but, with a
due knowledge Of the tremendou
power they can sway, they afte
