How u Quiet Little Man Subdued n Burly,
Rough Looking Fellow.

A correspondent who recently visited
Jeff DAVIS at his home at Beauvoir relates
| this:
Over on table was a short, dusty sword
that had been recently sent from Mexico,
and attached TO 1t 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.

Davis, with a smile, "of his first meeting

GOULD'S PARSIMONY
He Is Good Deal Like Mr.. Barkis In
Point of "Nearness."

Point of "Nearness."
So far as Mr. Gould is concerned, says a
New York letter in the Philadelphia Press,
1t is well known in Wall street that he is
parsimonious 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-
date service to him. In fact, the only case
wherein he was known to have given
friend or acquaintance tip on the market
was in the case Of a well-known man here
who retired from the theatrical busi-
ness year or so ago, and whom he put
into Union Pacific just before that stock
turned in price and began to move very
rapidly upward. 1t is understood that the
theatrical 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
Broadstreet 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
received one dollar or so, but when Gould
came in alone there was skrmishing
among the walters as to who would be
fortunate enough to get out of the way.
Gould 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 some one
blew in a round Of drinks. Gould dOesn I
drink-a characteristic which is shared by
a 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 invited the party to smoke
The cigars were passed around and a dozen
or so Of them were taken out. Mr. Gould
asked the bar keeper how much he 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-
mar ked Mr.. Gould, 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 saw

ABOUT THE RAILROAD COMNIs
SION

"The Legislature will be asked to
provide that any recommendations
of the board may be reviewed 10y the
courts, and when found just and
reasonable enforced by mandamus
or other action, subject to appeal in
the usual way. Such power, it is
claimed 10y the board, is necessary to
enable II to redress many of the
grievances coming before IL and for
which there is no other adequate
remedy. The selection of new
board of railroad commissioners will
be one Of the exciting episodes of
the coming session. ."--Oregonian.
THAT any recommendation of the
board may be reviewed 10y the
courts is II humhug. The board
should be empowered to prosecute
any railroad company that does not
comply with its decisions. To hang
up every act of the board in the
courts is to make ii useless indeed.

man was heard to inquire a few days
since in what township was Salem
and also at what point the number.
ing Of the townships began. The
gentleman had been in Oregon only
few weeks, and was, Of course, ex-
cusable. The fact Is many persons
who have been In Marion county
for years could not answer the two
questions. Salem Is In township Z
south, range west. The number.
ing OF the townships begin on the
latitude Of Portland and are
numbered south Ia their order. The
south limit OF Marion county ends
in township 10 south. The ranges
numbered east and west Of the
Willamette meridian. This merid
ian passes through Portland and is
two aud a half miles east OF Sub,
Unity and two and "A half miles
east ofSilverton or fifteen and n hall
miles east ofSalem. Marion county
begins In township 3 south and end,
In township 10 south. The western
limit Is i'm range 4 west aud the east
ern limit with range 3 east.
