WORSTED BY GOULD,

CINCINNATI, May 13-An evening paper
prints. on the authority of a we'll known
corporation lawyer, a story of deal in
which Campbell, Brice, Thomas and other
Chic politicians were worsted by Jay
Gould. The paper says:
Campbell was dragged into the deal by
Brice and Thomas, and was, IN fact, cut
ting his brokerage eye-teeth, SO To speak.
Campbell made big money on the English
brewery deal purchase, and along with his
political ambition was anxious to figure
among the Wall street magnates. The
financial world had less than nine days
wonder at the supposed courage of men
like Campbell, Brice, Thomas and Others,
who went in with Coils p Huntington to
rout Jay Gould from the Richmond Ter
minal and shut him out from Pacific Mail
holdings.
1.-THE Wizard of Wall Street and the
stock exchange was as mild as summer
ocean, and let go so easily that at once the
story was telegraphed throughout finan-
cial circles that Gould had at last been
worsted by Huntington and his Ohio con-
freres Then came marvellous reports of
Huntington's diplomacy and Shrewdnes
The Wizard sold ont Richmond Terminal
at 53. the buyers thought to have it raise,
but it fell gradually until its holders found
it one gloomy day at 43 Then Campbell
and other holders went to Gould. They
wanted to sell. He told them Richmond
Terminal was all right and that the fuc-
tuation was only temporary and they
should margin up.
"A few days later it fell ten points more.
Again. trembling and scared, the men who
had boasted of beating Gould went to him.
'Oh. margin it up"' he said coolly; 1T
can't fail TO he good stock-a good invest
ment.' Finally it went down to 2S, and
the syndicate, headed by Brice, went in
supplication to Gould to sell or do any
thing for relief oh, it will come out all
right he said. 'lt will keep on falling,
and | think it will even go down to g.
This was paralyzing, and Campbell, Brice
ct al. wanted TO sell. I have no money
said Gould, but will trade you Western
Union stock at q for your stock at l3.
This was bitter but the disease WAS
worse than the remedy. SO they took it.
A week later there came drop in West
ern Union and rise in Richmond Ter
minal. Brice is said to have lost over
S2.000,0O0, Campbell nearly all he had. He
IS. therefore, thinking OF continuing in
politics rather than attempt the role OF
Mnancier against Jay Gould. Gould was
never beaten in deal in his life but once,
and that was in Arkansas-a local com
pauy fooled him"

comes to the front with another wonder
III the person of Mr.. A. NJ. Thomas, a ma
tive of Decatur county. Mr.. Thomas, who
now lives just across the state line in
Gadsden county, Fla, is % years old and
is the father of thirty-two children, all of
whom are alive Mr. Thomas wife, a
native of Decatur, is three years younger
than himself Fifteen years ago
they were married. Twenty months
latter they found themselves the parents
of four bright and beautiful children
With almost unvarying regularity ever
since the family has been increased by the
addition sometimes of twins, sometimes of
triplets, until the number has reached
thirty-two. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas are a
thrifty, happy and contented couple, and
their thirty-two little ones are as fine set

TOBACCO TAX REBATE.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-The claims for
rebate of tax on tobacco under the tariff
act received at the internal revenue
bureau number nearly 10000, and will
require an aggregate of nearly Sl,250. 900
to satisfy. The law allows rebate of &c
per pound upon all original, unbroken
packages in the hands of retailers and
manufacturers on the 1st of January
last, on which the old rate of SC per
pound was paid The claims are now be-
ing examined by the fifth auditor, and
after he is through with them they will
go the comptroller for verifcation and
allowance. The internal revenue office
will dispose of all claims received before
the close the present month, but the
examination by the accounting officers
will take considerable time, so it is likely
these claims will not be finally settled and
paid to the claimants for SIX months.
Claims for amounts less that s. are not
received The filing OF claims was limited
BIZ law to March |.

Coin Operated Reversible Seat Chair.

SG1n OpeEateO htNeEsiDie seat Sndlrs
Among the Thousand and one applica-
tions of the nickle-in-the-slotp principle may
be mentioned late invention which may
possibly have curious effect on the sales
of tickets in theaters. The device is a
chair having revolving seat and a re-
volving back, the respective position of
both which can be Immediately changed by
coin controlled locking mechanism. Sup
posing that a play is in progress, and the
spectator, with an eye to economy, sis tax
ing it in" from the gallery. The seat,
probably. is hard, and the back of the chair
is straight, and the pleasure seeker is long
ing for the end of the play, so that he can
seek something like comfort in his chair
at home.
The dropping of the nickel now works
beneficently, for as the mechanism is ac-
tuated by its weight the under side of the
seat, which is softly cushioned, flies mp
and forms luxurious back, with gentle
and inviting inclination, and n similarly
cushioned seat is provided for the grateful
playgoer for the rest Of the evening. So
that, in point of fact, the occupants of a
gallery seat can for an extra five cents en-
Joy more than the comfort of those in the

NATURE.

From Nature we have coldly stood aside
And gone our ways with all suficing pride.
Into her quickening soil a seed we sift.
Take the ripe fruit, nor marvel DER her gift.
She is our own dear mother. She and we
Are one magnificent totality!
Through us Earth wheels self conscious on her
track.
Our eyes are hers, they glass her glory back.
Through us she sees her charms unfolded far
Green waving world and glittering sea and
Through us she sees her still streams glide in
grace,
And looks her blushing flowers in the face.
In mans aspiring soul she yearns and strives
And through his cunning hand her craft con-
triyes.
Direct as dawn or dew or flower or flame,
Out of Earth's breast her vast cathedrals came.
Dost think her silent? Strain the anxious ear
Unto her breast nor any answer hear.
You, /, all, is her speech-the poets lines,
The players touch, the dark sea sounding
pines.
"Even as the wind through Asia's forests
roared,
Not less from rapt Isaiahs tongue she poured
His fiery and for ever living song"
All sounds are hers-the viol's ponderous pain,
The patter OF the million footed rain,
Through reed and roaring brass her breath is
blown;
The organs monster music is her own.
Along Beethoven's sea of soul did ride
Her splendid waves OF passion and OF pride.
She brought forth Dante's hell deep. heaven
high rhyme
To cheer her as she lonesome swept sublime.
