jay Gould Taking Exercise.

The haste of commercial work in New
York is proverbial, writes correspond
ent of the Cincinnati Enquirer. The
hours of business in the Wall street neigh.
borhood are only about five a day, and
the utmost possible amount of labor is
crowded into them. But some of the
chief operators are busy overtime. Jay
Gould was one of these until lately. They
tell story in his Office about his resolv.
ing, on the advice of his physician two
years ago, to take exercise.

to practice mild calisthenics an hour
every day."
San right" said Gould; "show me
exactly what to do"
Thereupon the medical man instructed
the millionaire in a variety of movements,
such as flexing and extending the arms
and legs, initiating the lungs and slowly
excluding the air, beating the chest with
the hands, and bending the body side
ways and backwards. Next day, when
his brokerage partners, Conner and Mo
rosini, looked into his private Office,
where he sat at his desk reading letters

through a series of contortions that indi.
Gated nothing less than raying madness.
His eyes were on the manuscript of a long
epistle, and he seemed to be intently
perusing it; but his puny physique was
undergoing the strangest motions-his
arms and legs extending one after an
other in all directions, and his body
doing more genu6ections than were ever
conceived of a ritualist. Was he having
titl No; his calm face indicated no
agony or illness. Had he gone crazy!
That was likely, the two partners
thought.
''What is the matter, Mr.. GouldQn
asked Conner, approaching rather eau

''No, no." replied Gould setting an

The North Ameqcup Rerien for May
contains two articles on subjects directly
germane TO the questions at issue between
labor and capital, One is a well consid-
cred, thoughtful, and conservative article
from T. V. Powderly, the executive head
of the Knights of Labor, on Strikes
and Arbitration" The questions pre-
sented are treated with ability and the
writer's views stated with fairness aud
an evident faith in their correctness. The
outlook for labor organizations, according
to Mr.. Powderly, is hopeful their ulti-
mate success, certain. Nor does he seem
to anticipate evil result from the present
troubles. He says q
The people are not quiet To-day. but they are
safe. 1t is the power ui monopoly that is not
sale. The men who pile up large fortunes must
compensate for thai privilege ia the payment
Of n gradual income tax. Tue blessings which
they derive from wealth must be shared BY the
nation from which they extract that wealth.
This extract contains the only sugges
ton Of prevention or remedy to be found
in the article, and there is nothing Of nov
city about the proposed measure.
The other article, discussing a section Of
the same extensive subject from an oppo-
site standpoint, is a careful consideration
of the practical bearing of the eight hour
movement, by Edward Atkinson. He
shows that, so far as factory operatives
are concerned, both the hours of labor
have been considerably reduced, and the
relative profits measurably increased since
ls4l, and opposes all legal restrictions
upon the hours of labor. While the law
may define what shall constitute a days
work, in the absence Of any special agree
ment, it should not limit the working
mans labor to any fixed number Of hours.
Any interference by legislation with the
liberty of contract is regarded, and with
undoubted reason, as likely to work hard
ship to both employer and employc, but
especially to the latter. With refctencc
to the present strike, Mr.. Atkinson, pred
icating upon the entire stoppage Of the
movement OF freights, a further cessation
of distribution and consequently of pro-
duction

~ who consume at least ninc-teuthS Of the On
tire product, 1t being fiiry well proved that the
absolute or actual addition to the capital Of any
one year does not exceed five per cent Of each
years product. or ten per cent at the utmost ?
This writer, also, favors labor organiza-
ton, but not a general combination under
arbitrary rules, which cannot be enforced
without impairing the personal liberty OF
every member.
