jay GouId's correspondence.


1t is rather remarkable, but it is true,
that Jay Gould does not employ an aman-
uensis. He writes all his own letters The
word "all" does not signify many, for
Gould replies to very few letters, and the
communications he does write are brief.
He is always in a hurry when he writes,
and it seems as if his pen could not travel
fast enough to suit him. Gould puts the
little he has to say in as few words as pos
sible, and his pen races over the paper like
a steeplechaser in tracing out the charac-
tiers. Morosini opens all of Gould's letters
and throws away all that do no, actually
require to be read by Gould or replied to
by him. Gould would not have time to
look at the tape once a month if he read
and answered all the letters that came to
him.
People address him on all sorts of sub
jects, but a good share of them want to
know how they can make money. Moro
SIM drops the messages containing the
solicitouS inquiries into the waste basket.
Gould is much like the car of Russia,
who tries food and mysterious packages
on his underlings to see if they survive
them If Morosini is not poisoned or
blown up Gould will risk taking things
sent to him. But the willy Italian, if he
has any suspicion of package, will send
a clerk out in the hall to open it near
Russell Sages door If the boy comes
back whole MOrosini will go through the
contents without a tremOr.

Strengthening the Song Birds.


The song birds of New Jersey are
slaughtered in such numbers for the sake
of their skins, which are sold TO New
York parties to be used in trimming ladit
bonnets, that an effort will be made by
parties interested in their protection to
have a law passed by the Legislature max
ing it misdemeanOr to kill or capture
any song birds for the. space of s. aeral
years. If such an act rs not passed in a
Short time, there will be no song birds left
in west Jersey.
The pot-hunters use all kinds Of devices
to capture the birds One of the most eff
fective ways, which does not in any wise
destroy the beauty of the plumage, is the
placing of bird-lime on the limbs of trees
where they are in the habit of roosting.
The sticky stuff, adhering to the birds
feet, makes them fall an easy prey to the
hunter. When birds are shot the skin is
perforated. This detTacts from their
market value, and shot is only used when
the hunters are hard pushed to fill orders.

The recent death of Col Eandeyelde is
9 great misfortune to the poor distraught
Empress CaTlOtta of Mexico, who has
been under his care for many years at the
Chateau RouchOut. The empress was
greatly attached to Col. Nandevelde, and
his death has not been announced to her
She has been told that he has taken long
journey on business for her brother the
king of the Belgians. She passes much
of her time at the piano and at her easel,
but since she began to notice the colonies
absence the empress has neither played a
note nor touched her pencils One of the
characteristics of her malady, however, is
lack of memory and it is therefore hoped
that in a short time she will have forgot
ten her guardian, even as she seems to
have forgotten the whole of her past
existence.
She never speaks of Macmillan of
Mexico, nor even of her father, Leopold l.
whose favorite child she was. OF late
years she has become absolutely indiffer-
ent to dress, although in the earlier years
of her insanity she was constantly Occu-
pied with her toilet, and even while she
was living at the Chateau de Tervueren
showed marked tendency toward CO.
quetry. Sometimes she would arrange
her smartest dresses on the chairs, seem
ingly imagining thatshe was still the center
of court and would address the gowns
alternately in three or four different Ian
guages.
When a little while ago NTaximilian's
valet-whO was with him to the last
himself became insane and was taken to
Miramer, she fretted about the poor fell
low for a few days and then completely
forgot him. The afflicted lady receives
the kindest treatment from all about her,
and is frequently visited by the king and
queen of the Belgians and the COmte de

The following letter is from the pen Of q
gentleman who formerly resided in this vii
lage, a firm friend OF the NoRIHRRSER, but
who is now resident of another state:
EDIroB NoRrHERSRB--I was pleased 20
notice the futile attempt of the Courier 70
prove your statements with reference to the
reduction OF the public debt, to be untrue.
Evidently the editor OF that brilliant sheet
has been guilty of what he charged the NOE
THERNBR, namely, OF never having read Sec
rotary Msnning's report, or of telling an
untruth. Is is inmsterial which. His re-
port shows, beyond question, that since the
capture of the National administration by
the democratic party, there has been not
only decrease OF revenue, but an increase
in expenses. Compared with the fiscal year
1884, the receipts for 1885 have decreased
$54 1929, 1854, while the expenditures have
increased sc, lo0, 690.7S. Nor is this all
MIR. Manning's estimated receipts for 1886
are $8,00o00o short, and those for 1887 are
still more unfavorable. As to expenses,
while he hopes FOX n reduction of $4,000
600 in 1886, as compared with 1885. he 40
knowledges that there will unquestionably
be deficit of S24000000 We are glad
that the NoRrHKRNER is just anpdtrsotic
enough not To endorse such an administra-
ton and, by the time its term of Office ex-
pires, that the difference between democratic
and republican housekeeping will be so ap-
parent that the people will prefer the latter.

Jvr DAVIS has rushed into prins again.
This time he reiterstes the old lie that he
never was rebel, notwithstanding the fact
that in comparison with his treason that of
Of Benedict Arnold sinks and pales into
utter insignifcance. The old arbitrator
also denies that he was ever a member of the
order OF Free and Accepted Masons which
denial, if true, is certainly good reason for
rejoicing among the members OF that ancient
and honorable order. That they are spared
the stigma Of hsving fraternized with the
greatest rebel and rankest traitor the world
ever produced, is certainly cause for con-
graduation. The American people take little
or no interest in what Mr.. Davis may say or
do, bat they would be pleased if he would
spare them the further publication of his
rebel "reminiscences, that arc IN everlasting
shame and disgrace both 10 himself and 10
the people of the South. He should not
only be willing but glad TO sink into oblivion
and pass, az far az possible, from the memo
~ Of mankind.

SyCRErAnY MANNING, in his annual report,
makes the statement that the revenue laws
are chaotic. L. would have been wisdom
on the part of the secretary to remember
that the assertions OF novitiates are of little
weight. Recently. ex-Collec.or James of
San Francisco, than whom, no man is better
qualified to speak on this subject, said that
q more perfect system of laws for the col
lection of revenue was never devised, than
those in operation unde. this government.
If Mr.. Manning thinks our revenue laws
"chaosn, he had better immortalize himself
by devising u more perfect system.

IT ONLY took a month for Speaker Carlisle
to make up his committees. Had il been c
republican House with republican speaker,
there would have been no end of democratic
criticism because OF the dilatoriness OF the
presiding officer. The members. however,
have been industrious enough to prepare and
introduce something like 1000 bills. Every
body understands however, that not one bill
in hundred will ever be enacted into law,
and, therefore, nobody is frightened at the
prospect The introduction of bills serves
