Jay GOULD'S TEARS.

A touching story is told of how
Law Gould broke down and burst in
to flood of tears, at a meeting OF
the Missouri Pacific directors recent
ly. Other people, in large numbers,
had been doing all the crying up to
that time; for he had squeezed the
lambs in Wall street as they had
never been squeezed before. Accord
ing to the story, Mr.. Gould's nerves
gave way when he rose to reply to
Russeils Sage's speech advoca ting
the paving of a dividend of 12 per
cent to the Missouri Pacific stock
holders. The incident recalls Arte-
mus Wards pathetic story of his
Uncle William, who, he says, retired
some years ago on a hansum COM
potency derived from the insurance
money he received on ruther shaky
skooner he owned, which burned up
while lying at a wharf one night, the
cargo havin fortnitly been removed
the dav before the disastriss CALAMITY
occurred. Uncle Wilyim said it was
one of the most singler things he had
ever heard of; and after collectln the
insurance money, he bust into a flood
of tears and retired to his farm in
Pennsylvania. Mr.. Ward did not
say that his uncle was a dishonest
man. He simply declared that iii
you have uncle, and bitter ex-
perunce tells you that it is more
profitable in a pecoonery point OF
view to put pewter spoons instid OF
silver ones onto the table when that
uncle dimes with you in a friendly way

wrong in our social sistim. which

HAVE GIVEN UP CHAMPA GNE.

The Russian famine will serve a
moral purpose if the officers of the
Imperial guard keep their promise
not to drink champagne this winter,
spending the money that their tenn
perance will save them to relieve the
distressed peasants. The famine
cannot continue always as a pro-
moter Of temperance, but possibly if
some Americans would memorabilia
these gay cavaliers to the effect that
it is really a good thing for them to
go without the dizzying drinks they
might be persuaded to swear off per-
manently. There are other good
causes the champagne savers might
promote when a good rye crop comes
to the relief of the famished. Their
generous self denial is part of the
general imitation of the Gar, who
has ordered that there shall be no
court balls, which the lesser officials
join by giving a percentage Of their
salaries. Even the workmen give of
their earnings and the children their
petty savings. Meanwhile, the thou
sands are diving before their starva-
ton can be reached by the cham
pagne-saving policy. = [Greenfeld,
