uo Is a Good Deaf Like MIR. Barkis in
Point uf ''Nearncss."
So far as Mr. Gould is concerned, says a
New York letter in the Philadelphia Press
it is well known in Wall street that he is
parsimonous to a degree that is almost
amusing and that his family is now and
always has been IN sympathy with him. He
has seldom been known to assist anybody in
the street, except where the people whom
he assisted were of practical and imme
diate service to him.. In fact, the only case
wherein he was known to have given
friend or acquaintance tip on the nGrke
was in the case of a welEknown man her
who retired from the theatrical bus
ness year or so ago, and whom he ..
into Union Pacific just before that ston
turned in price and began to move vcr,
rapidly upward. 1t is understood that til,
tn atrical man in question made some
thing like one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars out OF the turn IN the market The
walters down in Delmonicos would prob
ably doubt the truth Of the story. Mr.
Gould used to lunch constantly at the
Broads;reCt place, and he was never
known to tip a waiter in his life. When he
came in with Charlie Osborne, and Osborne
paid for the luncheon, the fortunate waiter
receiv, d one dollar or so, but when Gould
cUme in alone iAere was q skrmishing
among the walters as to who would be
fortunate enough TO get out of the way.
Goud went down into Texas a number of
years ago with party of railroad men on a
tour of inspection, and at some station along
the road the party got off and somc one
blew in round of drinks. Gould doesn't
drink-a characteristic which is shared by
number of other millionaires---but some
how or other he seemed to have felt it in
cumbent on him to return the courtesy
thus offered and lnvlt' d the party to smoke.
The cigars were passed around and dozen
or so Of them were taken cut. Mr.. Goulu
asked the bar-keeper how much no owed
him and the bar-keeper returned the infor-
nation that the cigars were twenty-five
cents each.
Isn't that a pretty high price," re-
MAJ ked Mr.. Could in his slow, mild way.
Perhaps" returned the bar-keeper;
''but then you know we're not down here
for our health"
Mr. Gould paid the bill for the cigars and
said no more. Perhaps there was nothing
more to say.

A CORES spondent who recently visited
jeff Davis at his home at Beauvoir relates
this:
Over on a table was short, dusty sword
that had been recently sent from Mexico,
and attached to it was a card which said
that the weapon had been found on the spot
where Lieutenant DAVIS made his famous
charge at the battle of Buena Vista, and
turned the tide of victory in favor of the
Americans.
/ touched the rusty old sword, and
almost unconscously Mr.. d Wis drifted
into talking of the heroes of the Mexican
war, of Bowie, and Houston, and Crockett.
"Henry Clay once told me, said L,r.
Davis. with u smile, "of his first meeting
with Bowie. II was in the early days, and
Clay was travelling in stag coach where
the only other passengers were n pretty
girl, big rough-looking cOuntryman, Gul q

THE DEAcoN's WIVES.

One Good AnecdOte Brings Out Another
Equally Amusing.
The amusing little story going the rounds
of the newspapers about the English
lawyer who in defending a case remarked
that he had married three wives, all for
money, and insisted that nobody ever
married for love, reminds the Boston
Posts ''Taveruer'' of well known deacon
the olden time, who was much respected
here in Boston, but who, as l have been
told, often related, with pride, what every
one of the period knew, that he had married
four wives. In narrating his matrimonial
history he would speak in this WISE;
Il married Miss - for her beauty. She
was indeed, very lovely, with her eyes
like blue water-lilies and her form the per-
lection of grace; but she died young and
afterwards married MISS -, who was not
handsome, but she was very literary. Why,
she often answered my letters for me, and
could write a sermon as orthodox as any Of
DIR. Lyman Beecher's. She was only the
mother of one child and died soon after its
birth. can not tell you how much missed
her. But somehow or other had TO be con
soled, so l married again, and this time
don't pretend TO say that did not marry
for consideration. My third wife had a
handsome inheritance, and / must do her
the justice TO say that she did not use it
grudgingly tow srds me-"
Here he wept as he said: g. had the
mis- sfortune 10 have this one called away
so-and-and-weil, after a time 1 be-
came united in a fourth marriage with
Miss -, who yet lives, and you all know,
my friends, how supplementary she isp' /

And who is there so cold-blooded and cal
culating as would rise from communion

putting out a cheap and worldly illuminatnr}
asks Eugene Field in the Chicago News.
There are some, we know, who shrewdly
avail themselves of an ingenious patented
arrangement which Is attached TO a gas jet ;
it has appended thereto two slender CHAINS,
one OF which turns up and the other of
which turns down the gas. If the reader
does not get too far gone in his delightful
avocalion, tits easy enough to reach one
hand feebly up and pull at the chain which
abates the light. Sull, the confirmed, the
simon-pure, the glorious bed-reader, never
extinguishes his light; 'twould strike him
as a kind of proclamation to turn from
f ast with Horace or with Donne TO the vul-
gar and debasing occupation Of putting out
gas or blowing down q lamp chimney or of
putting at candle. He lets the light blaze
away, God bless him and presently his
wife patters in fom a yonder chamber deter
mined this time that she will wake him
upand give him a round scolding for his
heartless extravaganza; but when the dear
lady sees HIM slumbering so peacefully,
his precious book just beyond his fingers,
his face illumined by the smile that sc.
crues from sanity dreams she relents,
she extinguishes the blazing light herself,
and conscious of having done her duty as
a wife and as an economist she patters
back again to that yOnder chamber. There
IS no doubt or trouble about this, every
wife will do 1t seven times a week. provid-
ing she has been caught young, well broken
and discreetly trained.

A Wonderful Clock.

w. w. Bradley, formerly of Water
bury and whose parents and relatives
live here, now master mechanic of the
Dueber Watch case Company of Can
ton, Ohio, together with Electrician
w. n. Parker has invented an cleo
rricsI, seIfwinGing and synchroning
clock, which is thus described in the
Sunday Herald of that place:
This clock has been so designed
that it has but five wheels, and is run
without springs. As time keeper,
it is almost perfect, showing a vsria-
ton IF only four seconds in fifty-fve
days, which leaves it without rival
as time-keepe". Sealed up it will
;or two years register true time, the
synchronizer ieclifyiDg the few sec
onds' varistion. Another admirable
fe ,ture, and one that will count in
service, is the automatic electrical
switch lock enabling the OPP
orator at the obsertory. or
wherever the master clock is
Gated, 10 have full control of all
clocks connected by wire to the mas
ter clock. Attention from way
station operator is not required, and
no meddling can effect the synchron-
izer. Clocks eau be synchronized at
any hour or half hour desired from
the observatory, and while the tele-
graph wires are doing full service. In
obvia'ing the defects in other appli-
ances for a like purpose, the gentle
men deserve great credit in making
it a practical device for home use, as
well as railroad, city and factory
time. The gentlemen have had large
offers for their invention, but they
will not determine on the disposal of
it until all their patent applications
have been allowed in Europe as we'll
as in this country. Hartford Post.

A POWERFUL SEARCH LIGHT
The COnnecticut's Is of ) 1000 C..
p. and Can Locate Vessels
Two Miles.

Steamer Connecticut, of the Prcvi-
dence and Stobingtcn Steamship line,
has been equipped with a new Hunt
ington search light. Men have been
employed on the big boat for the past
few months constructing the light and
getting it in running order. The y
accomplished their SIX only a few
days sg". and now the big Connect
cut can forge its way through Long
Island Sound during nights when fog
dims the eyes of the ever-watckfui
piIof, without much fear of collision.
The wonder is how Il e Long Island
su amers ever managed to do without
the search light.
The search light is situa' ed on top
Of the pilot b. use, and is played on
any quarter desired by the pilot with
in. At his will he can throw the
powerful light towards the sky or
water and all by the means of a lit
tie wheel with q switch. On a very
dark night objects at a disia' ce of two
miles away can be seen qui'e plainly.
When fog is dense the light is thrown
a distance of a half a mile. The
light. as located on the toPot the pilot
house, is connected with the regular
incsndescent system If the boat. By
means of a weight ttat may be ope-
rated by magnet, the steam fog horn
of the vessel is brought ueder the con-
troll of the elec;r;c current.
Iu the pilot house there are four
switches controlling the current that
runs to the search line and the fog
horn, and by means {, f these switches
the pilot can start the search light so
that it will flash at regular Intervals
automatically, or it may be made to
burn steadily, or it my be made TO
flash automatically at the instant the
fog horn begins to below and cease
to flash when the below ceases, or
the horn may automatically below
alternately with The flashing of the
light, or the flashing and believing
may be done alternately or simulta e.
ously by band. No such use of e'ec-
tricity was ever mare before.
