An Ingenious Theory Of Language,

An ingenious theorizer suggests
that there is natural language of
man that 1t is the business of the
race to discover. The l. or liquid
sounds and their variations, heclaims,
signify the softer emotions, such as
love, languor, luxury, and the like,
while the II sounds express the
rough emotions, war, strife, etc.
This is worth thinking about. Mel
vile Bell, father of the patentee of
the telephone proves that
there are eighty-two tone
and semi-tones it the human
voice. These embrace every sound
that tile human organs of speech are
capable of making. The language
of the future will not be confined to
the iorty-two sounds of the English
language, but will embrace every
tone and semi-tone in the gamut Of
human speech.-From Demorest':
Monthly for April.

of railways cOmprehends those roads
in the West and Southwest, ,on which Il
thousand men struck recently, rather
than take lower wages than they had
been receiving. This event brings
into even more than his usual prom
inence the man whose name is known
throughout the world as That of Il
shrewd ilnancier at the head of the
larg, system of railroads in ih.
United States. Jay Could is one oi
the most interesting men living. Ills
power ia business aud in politics Is
as subtle as il Is real. lie is NAV
without presence or address; but the
silent expression Of his intentions
affects the markets Of the world.
Tli' singular person was born at
Robbery, New York, in the year 1896,
His father kept Il store and titled n
small .arm. When Jay was six years
old his mother died, but his father
not long afterward took another
mate. The boy received fair cduca-
lion and acquired a love of books.
The story is told that when he was
about fifteen he invented mouse
trap, OF which he was robbed on his
first visit 10 New York. A year after
this amusing incident in his career
he was engaged as clerk in a
country store. We hear of him while
in this place buying piece Of land
in Albany, acting upon advice which
he had overhear, his shrewd employ
or give To another person. The
famous "Jay Gould" map of Delaware
county, published in Philadelphia in
1856, was "from actual survey" by
that active yonng man. In his early
manhood Mr.. Gould formed q part
nership with Colonel Zadock Pratt,
in the tanning business, at place in
Pennsylvania, subsequently called
after him, Gouldsb0ro. lie removed
to New York City in 1859, and began
business as broker.
The time was well chosen for the
experiment, aud the man had that
clear far-sighted judgment which
enabled him 10 SO utilize the events
preceding and during the war that
he was millionaire in few years.
Since then his operations In railroads,
telegraphs and other property have
been so f,r successful as to make him
unquestonably one of the richest men
In the world, and certainly one of the
most influential. The amount of his
wealth is not even approximately
known. lie is said to own several
newspapers with which, among other
means, he forwards his vast financial
schemes. His politics, according TO
his own statement, vary with a due
regard to the acquisition of wealth,
Jay Gould, is first of all, tinancier,
but this leading characteristic Of the
man is accompanied with amiable
traits.
He is free from the vices, great and
small, and always has been correct in
his moral department. His tastes arc
domestic, and whether in his New
York mansion or at his country seat
Lynd-hurst-on-thc-l Hudson, his ap-
probation of the enjoyments of home
is remarkable. These include litera-
ture, music, painting and sculpture,
and the raising of choice plants and
flowers. lie takes frequent rides on
horseback.

was Miller. is the daughter of a well.
