ANEcDOTE OF JAY GOULD.
He Was . Newspaper Correspondent {
Well ~ Surveyor.

He Was . Newspaper Corrsspondsot -
We'll ~ Surveyor.
The papers of late have been well
filled with all sorts Of talk, some true
and some false, about Jay Gould and
family. Old John Gould, Of Roxbury,
jays father, is spoken of as very poor.
which, according to the Detroit Free
Press, is not true. He was sturdy,
well-read. intelligent farmer, in good
circumstances. At the time of the
anti-rent war in the county he stood up
boldly for the laws until better ones
could be made. When ordered by the
Big Thunder not to have the dinner
horn blown to call the men to meals he
went right on as usual One day the
horn was blown and in less than an
hour . body Of disguised men appeared
TO call him to account, Big Thunder in
command. He told him his family
would do as they pleased. and he was
threatened. Jay stood by and said:
II know who you are, Big Thunder;
you are Dan Squires, and you dare not
kill my father" Here is the keynote
70 the whole career Of Jay Gould-an
Independent audacity that never failed
him. When mapping the county and
making up his history Of Delaware
county he was a correspondent for the
franklin Visitor, and its prospectus was
published in the history in full. His
letters to the Visitor were always spicy
and interesting and were kept up until
he built the tannery in Wayne county.
He then advised me to ask his sister
Betty to write for the paper, and I
found her one of the best correspond
ents ! ever had. She became Mrs. DR.
Palen, Of q well-known medical firm Of
Philadelphia, and has her home in Cam
den. N. j., opposite that city. i

TOMB OF A ROMANTIC PAST.

Venice No 10 YER Living City, hut
Merely y Watt Museum.
Venetian lie IN the large old sense
has since come to an end, and the es-
sential present character of the most
melancholy of cities resides Simply in
its being the most beautiful of tombs,
says Scribnsr's. Nowhere else has the
past been laid to rest with such tender
ness, such q sadness of resignation and
remembrance. Nowhere else is the
present SO alien, SO discontinuous. so
like o crowd in q cemetery without
garlands for the graves. 1t has no
flowers in its hands, but as q compensa-
ton, perhaps-and the thing is doubt
less more to the point-it has money
and little red books. The everlasting
shuttle, in the piazza. of these irrespon-
sible visitors is contemporary Venetian
life. Everything else is only rever-
beration Of that. The vast mausoleum
has turnstile at the door, and func-
tionary in a shabby uniform lets you
in, as per tariff, to see how dead it is.
From this consultation, this cold curl
osity, proceed all the industry, the
prosperity. the vitality Of the place.
The shopkecpcrs and gondoliers, the
beggars and the models, depend upon
It for a living; they are the custodians
and the ushers Of the great museum
they are even themselves to a certain
extent the objects on exhibition. 1t il
in the wide vestibule of the square that
the polyglot pilgrims gather most
densely; Piazza San Marco is like the
lobby of the opera in the intervals Of
the performance. The present fortune
of Venice, the lamentable difference. is
most easily measured there, and that is
why, in the effort to resist our pessim-
ism, we must turn away both from the
purchasers and from the vendors Of
ricordi.

REED AND HIS TEACHER.
Young TOMS Quicknsss ut Repafte
Saved Him from the Birch.

Young Toms Quicknsss ut Repafteo
Saved Him from tho Birch.
Ex-Speaker Reeds boyhood was not
particularly eventful, says the Hart
ford Post. He was tall and slender.
and had not the chubby face of his
late years of prosperity and power.
He was independent in his ways and
decidedly outspoken, a trait he in
herited from his mother. / heard .
curious story about a juvenile birching
that fell to Toms share long ago; and
If the child lie father to the man, sure
ly there is clear insight into the
future characteristics of Mr.. Reed in
the speech he made to the master on
this unauspicious occasion.
IF anyone knows of any reason
why these apples should not touch the
lips Of Tom Reed, let him speak now,
or forever after hold his peace" said
the young rascal one day, right under
the masters nose. And he gave great
bite at the first red-cheeked apple in
his hand.
Quick as flash, out came the birch,
and, with equal skill at repartee, the
pedagogue said:
''If anyone knows any reason why
this rod should not warm the jacket Of
Tom Reed, let him speak now, or for.
ever after hold his peace"
II do" said Tom.
"Nsme it'll" replied the master.
''Incompatibility"
He did not get that whipping.

NIAGARA FALLS WEARING OUT

Changes In the Shape Of the Ledge Ovo,
Which the Waters Pour.
Formerly the Cana dian side Of tn,
Niagara falls was U-shaped, which
caused the name Horseshoe falls to b,
given it. For the last ten or doze,
years, according to the Philadelphi,
Press, that side OF the fall has been v
shaped instead of U-shaped, the chang'
being caused by the wearing away O
the ledge over which the waters pour
On January 4, 1889. great displace
ment Of rocks again took place, ani
now the Canadian side of the great cat
aract is again Horseshoe Falls" /
is pretty generally known that tn,
falls Of Niagara are moving to the south
A deep cut through the solid rock mark
the course they have taken in their back
ward march.
1t is a wonderful excavation, Almighty
canal dug out by the sheer force Of fall
ing water. Not less astonishing is tn.
removal of all this debris. The rock
have been thoroughly pulverized anG
swept out into Lake Ontario. Once i,
was believed that the falls would ulti
mately wear back to Lake Erie and do
generate into 4 second-class rapids
The latest idea is that the fall will re-
cede two miles farther to the south
ward and then stop; that is. as far a,
the backward tendency is concerned
The cause Of this will be that 1t that
point . solid foundation for the lime
stone ledge over which the waters pou,
will be found. Two miles Of . wearing
back will make the falls only eighty
feet in height. instead Of one hundre(
and sixty, as at present.

The 0hastly Discovery Recently Made In
$50 tho Mountains Of Utah.
A most ghastly discovery was made
by Harvey Thomas, q prospector in the
mountains to the south of Salt Lake
City. He had been trying to follow q
blind lead for some time under the be.
lief that he would find an old aban.
doned mine, Of which many stories
have been told. He followed what he
considered An old trail deep into the
mountains and came to . place which
allowed signs Of having been once in.
habited. Deep into the canyon, which
was almost hidden at the mouth of o
heavy growth of bushes and vines, he
found . stone house. 1t was small, and
had apparently been made for the pur.
pose of holding something which was
never to get out, for there was neithe,
