JAY GOULD AS AN AUTHOR.
A Specimen of His Literary STYLE in the
History of Delaware County.
New York Times

History of Delaware County.
New York Times
Occasionally some person knocks at the
door of Jay Gould's Office in the Western
Union building with a copy Of THE His
tory of Delaware County, New York, by
Jay Could" to sell. An impression exists
in the minds of many people that Mr.. Gould
is desirous of suppressing this publication
as completely as possible, and that he will
pay almost any price to got possession of the
few stray copies that are left. Residents
of Delaware County are authority for
the statement that several years ago
an agent of Mr.. GouId's secured
that county for these books, and
bought nearly all of them at fancy prices.
Whenever copy OF this particular history
of Delaware County is displayed in that
county at the present day the older resi-
dents will advise the owner: "JiSt YOU take
thet down ter New York au' Jay Gould'll
give you $50 or $40 fer it," 1t Is certain
that nobody in Mr. Gould's Office ever heard
of his paying any such price for one Of
those books. And nobody is able TO explain
why Mr.. Gould should want to suppress the
publication, unless il is that he thinks there
is. too much sentiment in it for man
of his present reputation. Here Is a
specimen of the authors style. In
speaking of the autl-rent troubles in
Delaware County. Mr.. Gould Chen only
about 20 years of agel describes an attack
upon bis fa'her's house by lot of white
men disguised as Indians in the following
language: "The savage horde sprang frou
their hiding-plaees and with demon-like
yells rushed up and surrounded Mr.. Gould.

soldier was no coward, by citing several in
stances during the war of where coIored
troops noby fought in the thickest of the
battles. Tue education of the negro was
then discussed and the lecturer told of the
progress made by the colored man since ed
ucston was offered him by the different
missionary societies.
The advancement made by the negroes
Oh the South in the past ten years has been
wonderful" said the lecturer, "and the
solution of the perplexing negro question
has been found through the means of educa-
tion."
The main missionary question now was
to educate the negroes of the Southern
States to become missionaries to their own
people in Africa.
To this end the speaker urged the differ
ent societies engaged in spreading the gospel
to give their aid.
The lecture was illustrated by beautiful
stereopticon viaws, which went a long way
toward making singularly real some of the
