In the Judgment of those competent to
give an opinion, Jay Gould occupies the
same position in the world of finance
that Bismarck holds in the field of diplo-
macy. He stands solitary and alone as
monarch of the financial arena, tower
ing above all rivals and distancing all
competitors by the tremendous reach of
his business conceptions and the magnifi-
cent genius with which he suggests their
successful conclusion. Without an i'm
mense inheritance, as in the case of Van
derbilt, to launch him into the full tide
of success, he has by the force of his
own genius succeeded in attaining wealth
estimated to be over $100,000,000.
In his personal appearance Gould is
the most inferior of all the leading rail-
way magnates. He has the nervous,
rapid motion of counter-jumper rather
than railway king. Both front and
side face are inferior, but the lower part
of the latter is concealed in q heavy
beard, so intensely black that it suggests
artificial means. He leads hard life,
labors with intense application and is
driven by the pressure of his engage
ments until he may be considered mere
bondman. He has no leisure, no society,
no reading, no recreation, but is contin-
ually under the whip and spur of neces-
sity.
Gould's wealth has been amassed by
his extraordinary tact in keeping his
own counsel. His brokers acting directly
under his orders are by no means in his
secrets, and while one set may be bull
ing stock, the other may be unloading.
His plan for years has been to watch for
weak stocks and when he has made a
selection he forces it down by series of
well concerted attacks and then makes
heavy purchases, forcing the market up
as easily as he forced it down. Only a
man of the highest order of genius can
carry on such system and the fact that
Gould succeeds is the greatest proof of
his vast natural powers.

Dante was the first author who men,

that striking clocks could not have been
very uncommon in Italy at the latter

of clocks was not confined TO Italy at

land is situated on eth side of the road
leading from Sedgemoor station ION the Gin

commences about miles west of Rugby. 1t
is beautifully located, and its capabilities for
farming purposes, stock raising, and fruit and
vegetable raising, are undoubted In order to
give the first settlers fair chance. we offer
these lands, for the present, at the extremely
low price of So per acre; quarter down, and
the balance on time. with 6 per cent annual
interest. We also give to parties purchasing
the option for two years for as much land as
they may purchase. at the same price, by pay
ing taxes and interest. As the value OF land
increases with settlement. it is safe to say
that at the end of the two years the reserved
land, if sold by the purchaser, will nett enough
profit to pay for the original purchase.
Mr. WILLIAM Robinson, whose hack makes
connection with the 5;45 pm. train from

rates, and who will also be able to give all
