Inv Gouisl,s plans

A Saratoga paper has the following in
tercsting gossip concerning Jay Gould:

ago His eyes are bright; he walks with a
firm, quick step he has healthier color
and he has gained in weight. when a
man speaks in praise Of his hotel IL II
pretty strong evidence his digestion IL all

compliment There In great deal, Of
speculation as 10 Mr.. Gould's plans. II il
understood that he contcmplatcs some
radical changes In his business methods.
The other day story was published that
lac intended 10 divide the bulk III his ~.
tate among his children, retain some mill
ions for his old age and retire. This, il
may bc stated, is the rnnkcst nonsense.
Mr.. Gould contomplntcs nothing Of the

properties are In such shape that no may,

Luck in a Hnnchhacl,.

II will let you rub my hump with your
gold If you give me a franc,n said a hump
backed girl TO me one night in the gambling
saloon at Monte Carlo. | looked at her some
what astonished at the remark, but she
seemed so much in earnest and SO DESTROYS of
the small piece of money that / gave it to
her and rubbed her hump for luck put the
money on Ii nnd-lost 1t was the strangest
piece Of tipping that 1 ever encountered in
all my European travels, yet there are three
or four humpbacks who are habitues of the
gambling saloon at Monte Carlo, and who
make a living by letting the superstitious rub
their lucky hump with money.
| remember an experience once in America
of the same kind, but it was not for tin
that the hump was rubbed. A friend once
told me to rub the hump of hunchback with
money, not letting him see you do it, and it
was good luck. 1t was race week and |
thought l would try it; so, slipping up be-
hind little hunchback who was going
through the corridor of prominent hotel in
Washington, pretended to be taking off my
coat, and, having money in my hand, acct
IDENTIFY, as it were let that hand hit the
hunchback and thus rub the money on the
lucky lump But, alasl the man turned
around and had 10 apologize for thus SEEM
ingly assaulting him.
OF course | knew then that no luck would
come from the contact of the money with
the hump and so did not put any on the
races and perhaps saved by it. But at Monte
Carlo it seems to be reversed, for you, with
the knowledge of the unfortunate, rub your
money up against them, and very often, at
least they tell me so, the person wins.-Paris

A story of Jesse James.

Now that am ON the biect of trotting,n
said Secretary Hall, of Detroit in the rotunda
of the Merchants, 81 am reminded of an in
cident that took place in 1875 at the Kansas
City meeting. There were several thousand
people congregated in the vicinity of the
ticket office, when suddenly band of men
rode into the inclosure and began discharging
firearms apparently right into the crowd.
As they expected, there was a general scatter
ing, and ere the people collected their senses
the ticket man had been oyerpowered and
his cash box, containing about 81, 200, taken
away by the members Of the shooting party,
who turned out to be members Of the Jesse
Jam gang. Rewards were offered for tho
detection and arrest of the perpetrators, but
nothing ever came of II.
'srhe next summer, ono day while travelling
along the road toward Independence Mission,
met single horsenian, and we soon became
engaged in conversation. We did not ex-
change cards or names, but rode along into
the town on pretty good terms, and a few
moments after we separated | learned that
my companion was none other than the
notorious Jesse James himself. IL was his
crowd that had robbed my ticket selleraye
before, but | did not recognize him as one of
the participants. Among the people it was
the general impression, and l have never
heard ID contradicted from a reliable source,
that Jesse James scorncd to enact the role Of
highwayman when single person was con-
cerned, but took n delight in frightening
largo crowds when in search Of booty. His
men knew that shooting over the heads of
the spectators would alarm them fully as
much and create more of a panic than by
killing people in cold blood, and hence their
forays were always attended with great
deal of noise, but little violence toward their
victims. st Paul Globe

Senator Malone and His wife.

Senator Malone was at the Capitol the
the other day, and he took, as usual his
lunch of hot buckwheat cakes. Malone is q
lady's, and his overgaiters are knit. His
coat is bell shaped, and his linen is almost as
fine as cambria. He is as thin as a rail- and
his frame is made up of bone, brain and
muscle. He is as particular as to his eating
as to his dress, and when he was in tho sem
ate he was the horror of both pages and
walters.
Malone does not weigh 100 pounds His
bones are as small as a diminutive lady's,
and his brain is so active TINT it eats all the
flesh off his frame. He seems this winter TO
be thinner than ever, and he shines out in
strange contrast TO his handsome wife Mrs.
Malone watches Billy with care, and, like
Mrs. Logan and the general, she was with
him during a part of his military career
There was no southern officer drawer than
Gen. Malone, and the marrow of his bones is
made up of courage. At the battle of Bull
Run Mrs. Malone stopped few miles off,
watching the smoke and hearing the thun-
der, when the report came to her that her
husband was wounded. A moment later
came Mahones servant to tell her his mas
ter's wound was not dangerous, and that the
shell had only ripped open his flesh Mrs
Malone would not believe the inesscnger's
story. She wept as she said: st cannot 10
true. My dear will never have flesh wound
for there is no flesh on little Billy Malone. y

Great kitchen at windsor Castle.

The holidays bring wealth of work for
the cooks at Windsor. The kitchen, on the
north side of the castle, is fitted deliberately
enough to delight the heart even of Careme.
The apartment is nearly fifty feet in height,
and has an enormous fire at either end, with
system of spits after the fashion of univer-
sity kitchens AS an ordinary staff there are
a chef de cuisine, two master cooks, two
larderers, five sconrers, one steam man and
three kitchen maids, besides apprentices and
serving men. The number of dinners that
can be cooked in this kitchen is simply mar
velous Every detail Of the arrangements is
worked out with the greatest care, the dishes
being handed straight to the footmen from
the cooks, and by them conveyed to the vari-
Gus rooms Vanity Fair.
