Jay Goulds Family and Summer Home

A correspondent writing from Yonkers, n. Y,
gives an interesting sketch of the summer home
of Jay Gould, which is situated on the Hudson,
between Workers and Tarrytown. He says:
"Lyndehurst," the residence of Jay Gould, was
patterned after Newstead Abbey, in England, and
is fine piece of architecture. Here Mr.. Gould
goes every night during the summer months from
his financial cares in New York. His neghbors
say that he is boy among his boys when he is
at home. He drops all business thought and goes
into any sort of recreation that may be proposed
with much ardor as his youngest son. There
is general impression that Jay Gould has only
son, because his wife never appears in society
and his children almost unknown. He has a
large and interesting family. His eldest son,
Geo. j. Gould, is so totally different from his father
that those who know him seriously doubt whether
he will ever be q business man. Jay Gould has
given him such opportunities as no young man
ever had by making him director in most of the
Gould corporations, and in some of them making
him responsible officer, but George has evinced
no particular liking for the career of finance. Jay
Gould's daughter Nellie promises to be beauty.
She is slim girl, neither light nor dark, with
charming manners and studious habits. She has
been under the charge of governesses all her life
There is son, Edward, who is older than Nellie
and younger than George. imagine he must be
Is. He is studious, well bred, and respectful. He
thinks of becoming civil engineer, and has the
same self contained manners fhis father. Howard
who is about Is years old, has been in delicate
health for long while. He knows almost nothing
about books, and his father keeps him in the open
air. Belle, who is in the neighborhood of IL or
Is years, promises to be the beauty of the family
She very much resembles Mrs. Gould. The
"baby' is Frank. Jay Gould's city and country
residences are magnificently furnished. He
doesn't run to fine horses, costly stables and
blooded steeds. At night, when he dismisses his
operators from his offices, he does not go to club
to carouse, to a banquet to steam up with cham
payne, or to theatres he retires to the recesses
of peaceful library, and, with his young sons
about him, reads the Latin classics the world for
getting, but not by the world forgot He was
began life when fourteen years of age as black
smiths clerk. He had a taste for mathematics
and studied surveying. He realized his first cap
ita $4,000, by making survey maps of Delaware
and Albany counties. He also wrote creditable
history of Delaware county, N. Y, which is now
scarce and out of print. After the panic of 1857
he came to New York and invested his little for
tune in railroad securities, and has continued in
this line until his millions now crowd close to
those of Vanderbilt. He is man, however, of
finer texture than the old commodore's son. Mr..
Goulds friends say he is a liberal man, although
when he makes gift he does not have the infor-
nation written in manifold and sent to all the
newspapers.

CITY CoNvEN1ENcEs AT OUR DooRs-Many per-

flowers watered, windows and carriages washed,
