reasons to convince him. Mr.. Gould
observed this, and fOresaw what wns
necessary to be done. The drift Of the
conversation, when this point wns
brought clearly out, was very succinotly
described BY Mr.. Gould in his testt-
mony before Che Garfield investigating
committee. He said, "The president
was listener; the other gentlemen were
discussing. Some were in favor Of Bout
wells selling gold and some were OPP
posed To it. After they had all inter
changed their views, some one aslked the
president what his views were. He re-
marked that there was q certain amount
Of Hstatiousness about the prosperity Of
the country, and the bubble might 10
well be tapped in one way 90 the other.
That waa the substance Of his remark.
He asked me what I thought about it,
remarked that / thought if that pol
10y was carried ont it would produce
great distress and almost lead to civil
war; 1t would produce strikes among the
workmen, and the workshops TO 9 great
extent, would have to be closed; the
manufactures would have to stop.
took the ground that the government
ought 70 let gold alone and Let it fad ito
commercial level; that, In fact, Ii ought
10 facilitate the upward movement Of
gold In the Call. The fall and winter ID
the only time that we have any interest
in. That was sll that occurred at that
time"
e
About the time the above events were
transpiring the assistant secretary Of the
treasury, Mr.. fl. R. Van DyCk, resigned
his Office in this city. Mr.. Goulds chief
/ ambition at that time was to name his
, successor, in order that he might bs able
: to control the treasury when the time to
/ get "cornsr" in gold should bs ripe.
. Mr.. Abel r. Corbin came in quite handy
at this junCture to help 10 further the
designs Of Mr.. Gould. He was Q man OF
fair education and considerable expert
enCe, both in business and politics. he
had been q lobbyist in Warrington for
some years. He was we'll informed ON
financial matters, q pretty good writer,
and could stalk like a book" His wife
was sister Of Mrs. Grant, and he had
, good opportunities FOR reaching the
: presidential ear, which he employed to
; the best advantage.
A gentleman named Robert B. Gather
wood, who was married 10 q step-daugh-
ter Of Mr.. Corbin, was approached BY
Gould and COrbin On the subject Of the
assistant tressurership. They were snx-
ious that Mr.. Catherwood should take
the Office, and told him he could make q
great deal Of money in perfectly leRiti-
mate manner IL he were once installed.
So Mr.. CstherWood stated in his tssti-
mony before the Investigating committee,
but he adds. any ideas differed from
theirs in what constituted Q legitimate
manner, and I declined the Office"
The Office then sought another man in
the pSrBOn OF General Daniel ButterHsld.
: Re received the intimation of his sp-
7 pointment in q very different spirit from
Mr.. CsthsrWOod, showing that bs was
: fully equal TO the occasion. He wrote
: letter to Mr.. Corbln thanking him
{ kindly for the Offer, saying that he was

tionists, are more successful than they
have been at any other time within our
memory At that sinful little place
-Yonkers, business had to be suspended
and the mills closed for two days of last
week to give the people opportunity to
attend the great meetings held since the
beginning of the extraordinary religious
revival there. Another illustration. 1t Is
from the Roman Catholic church here.
The golden jubilee of the Apostleship of
Prayer League of the Sacred Heart was
celebrated last week in the city as at
other places; and before the church in
which the celebration was held there had
been opened on Tuesday morning mul-
titude of people, far greater than could be
admitted, stood in the vicinity waiting
to enter the sacred edifice. We are in
formed that there are 100000 members
of this Prayer League in the United
States, and tens of millions in other
countries We could fill the Sun any
day with reports of the advancement and
strengthening and manifestations OF
the religious faith or piety here and else.
where Our humorous fellow citizen, Col.
Ingersoll, must have observed that de-
spite the efforts of the unbelieving and
moonstruck philosophers and scientists
whose voices are heard everywhere rellg-
ion is yet mighty power, and an everlast-
ing power, in cur own country and all
over the earth

HER WATCH.
The Scornful Jeweler Expressed Surprise
That 1t Had stopped.

A young girl took her watch into the
jewelers. recently and explained that
something was the matter with it. While
tho matchmaker examined it the owner of
the fractions watch remarked that she did
not see what made it act SO.
1T is always stopping or having some
thing happen to it,, she said.
POSSIBLY you do not take good care Of
it," ventured the jeweler, closely regard
ing the interior of the watch.
"Oh, yes, 1 do. wind it nearly every
night, and l nearly always remember to
take it out of my pocket when l take off
my dress. The pocket in my gray dress
is too large, though, and sometimes it
falls into the bowl when l am washing"
"Water would ruin it if it got inside, 4"
remarked the jeweler.
THAT little bit wolldn't," said the
girl, with very wise shake of the head.
It's only falls that hurt them. Once it
fell out of the up stairs window. but it
lantsed in the rosebush, and it WASH hurt
much. The time Johnny squeezed it by
shutting the bureau drawer on it the
crystal was broken, though"
BY that time the jeweler had discovered
that the balance wheel was out of place
and two cogs broken.
Il don't SEQ how it happened" said the
girl in surprise. 1T few out of my blouse
pocket yesterday when l was swinging
dumbbells, but did not suppose that was
what hurt it.
"Those things seldom do" said the
man, with a touch of scorn.-Philadel-

No Reason Why He Should Not be Given the
Customary Second Term.
(Somerset Reporter. }

(Somerset Reporter.)
Hon Hall C. Burleigh of Vassalboro,
who has been a member of the board of
State assessors for some three years
past, will be a candidate for reelection
by the incoming Legislature Mr.. Bur
leigh was originally appointed to fill a
vacancy on the board caused by the
death of one of its members, and was
elected by the last Legislature for the. re-
mainder of the unexpired term OF this
member A full term 'on the board is
six years and Mr.. Burleigh has served
less than half that time. We believe
Mr. Burleigh has given the state good
service and, this being the fact, can see
no good reason why he should not be
given tine customary second term. or
course there are other men who are willing
to serve the State in this office. There
always are, but Mr.. Burleigh's wide
knowledge of Maine affairs and Maine in
terests, and his experience in this office
should tell strongly in his favor for another
term, and doubtless will with the level
headed legislators of the State when they
assemble at Augusta next month.

The FIRST POSTS.
When and Where Rapid Transit of News

When and Where Rapid Transit of News
Was introduced Into Europe.
The first posts are said to have original
ed with the regular couriers established by
Cyrus about $50 B. c., who erected post
houses throughout the kingdom of Persia
Augustus was the first to introduce this
institution among the Romans, 81 B. c.,
and he was initiated by Charlemagne
about 500 A. D. Louis XI was the first SOW
ereign to establish posthouses in France
owing to his eagerness for news, and they
were also the first institution of this ma
ture in Europe. This was in 1470 or
about ., 600 years after they were started
in Persia.
In England, in the reign of Edward Nv
u4SD, riders on post horses went stages
of the distance of 30 miles from each other
in order to procure the king the earliest
intelligence of the events that passed in
the course of the war that had arisen with
the Scots. A proclamation was issued by
Charles in 1851 that, whereas to this
time there hath been no certain inter-
course between the kingdoms of England
and Scotland, the king now commands his
postmaster of England for foreign parts to
settle running post or two between Ed
