Yt rv few persons properly estimate
i Jay C mill's wealth aixJ power. With
j in he past twelve months these have
; ineii-a.si'tl enoi inou.-dy ; his losses have
! been few, mu.I his profits immense. Of
i (oiu'jo h ) was compelled to expend a
great ileal of money in Washington
I duriiiir the winter for which he has re
; erived unsatisfactory re lu ns; slill he
; has added largely to his wealth ami in
llacnee in the acquisil ion of the stocks
of Western roads, which have appreci
ated many p r cent, lie is at present

the third larges holder of Western
lTiiion Telegraph, the first two heing
Mr William If. Vanderbilt and the
Hon. K. 1). Morgan.
I.i: tie over one year ago Mr. (Jould's
chi' t' hiddings were of Union l'acitlc
ami Atlantic! and Pacific Telegraph
stm-ks. He rontrbl at present ab'out
live thousand miles of railroad, and
hoids large lines of stock and bonds in
the separate properties. Mr. Win. II.
Vanderbilt is his only rival in railway
ownership, and while he is the largest
out-and out owner of railroad stork
and bonds, Mr. Gould probably holds
about as m iiiy shares on margin. Mr.
Vanderbilt controls the Xew York
Central, I lie Lake Shore, the Michigan J
Central, the Canada Southern, and, it
is understood, has the refusal of the
Atlantic and Great Southern. lie con
trols about four thousand miles of
railroad, or will, if successful at the
Michigan Central election, Mr. Van
derbilt can dictate terms to railroads
east of Chicago; Mr. Gould can make
or break the tariffs of the great trunk
lines across the continent. Mr. Van
derbilt realizes the danger to which he
is subjected bv Jay Gould's strategical
position, and ha been untiring of late
iu his efforts to prevent him from get
ting a connection between Buffalo and
ihieogo.
In fart there is but one road lift
that Mr. (build could possibly get the
Toledo and Wabash and it is doubt
ful whether it could be advantageous
ly used as a part of a great through
line. If Mr. Vanderbilt succeeds in
preventing a connection between the
Erie llailway and the Chicago North
western and Chicago and Kock Island
in the Gould interest, he will probably
demand that Lake Shore and N. V.
Central from the eastern end of the
great through line. If he is unsuccess
ful Gould will be likely to injure his
properties greatly. Mr. Vanderbilt
can do li.tle to injure his adversary
save in the way of breaking up any
eastern connection. liis antagonist
can, by turning the freight and passen
gers of Chicago ami Xortliwes'.ern, of
Chicago and Kock Island, and of Kan
sas Pat i tic over the Pennsylvania Cen
tral or the Baltimore and Ohio, inilirt
serious damage upon Lake Shore and
N. Y. Central.
The situation, to say the least, is a
singular one ; and yet, at the hist mo
ment. Mr. Gould may step fiver to the
Grand Central depot and in an hour
make millions by joining the Vander
bilt party, ; s he did in Western Union
last summer.
But Mr. Gould's power to make or
mar is not alone interesting to holders
of Lake Shore and New York Central.
Tlie Chicago Burlington uiiicy
and the Milwaukee and St. Paul Bail
roads run nearly parallel for tlu) great
er part of thwdistanee with the Chicago
and Bock Island and the Chicago and
Northwestern respectively. Mr. Gould
has looked with disfavor upon both of
the former corporporations for several
years, and a diversion of the tratlio of
Union 'acilic over Bock Island and
Northw stern, and a lowering of local
rates at competitive points, would
burst the Iowa pool that has been in
existance for six years, and knock the
prices of these slocks many per cent.
There is no immediate danger of thir
for he has not yet marketed a rutlicient
quantity of B. L and Northwestern.
As soon as his bag is emptied of these
stocks, it might not, lie unreasonable to
expect that he yvould try to get them
back cheaper, and also break down
Burlington ai.d Quincy and Mihvaukee
and St. Paul. The Illinois Central
would probably come in for a share of
attention. It will be both instructive

The Working Classes Not Communists.
N. Y. ;r:itliu
The Times is quite right in protest
ing against the loose charges of eom-
i mmiism and disorder applied to the
great bulk of the working classes. It
is undeniable that there is a great deal
of disorder manifested. This is due,
however, to exceptional circumstances
and to the yvant of employment,
ordinary yvorkingnian cannot see

he must go almost naked and hungrv
j when Providence blesses the country
; with enormous crops, so great that the
i roads cannot carry them; yvhen there
j is universal wealth to be dug out of
I the earth; when there is untilled land
i in everv direction to be occupied, and
he naturally concludes that there is
1 SOMETHING WllOXti WITH THE STATE.
j Ordinarily, the yvorkingnian is quite
content if he can get employment and I
secure a bare living. He knows little
and cares less for the line theories of
land ownership, paper money, the
wickedness of exacting interest and
the other platitudes of the theorists
and labor reforrneis. There is danger

i We have also held that it is prepos

I the matter of employment in times of
I terrible stringency, but that advantage
should be taken of the lowest prices of
labor ami material to construct such
public work as is demanded by the
necessities fjf tho nation. Hence yve
would have war-ships constructed, yvar

that they shall share enough of the

and permit them to experience some
comfort. In other words, they want

Domestic Recipes.
Yankee Brown Bread. Two quarts
Indian meal, one quart rye flour, two
thirds teacup of molasses, little salt, one
teaspoonful soda; mix with sour milk
quite soft; bake six hours at first with
good heat, then more moderate, until a
nice dark brown.
Imperial Cake. One pound cf flour,
one of sugar, one of seeded raisins,
chopped, one-half pound of blanched
almonds pounded fine, quarter of a
pound of citron thinly sliced, eight
eggs beaten separately, a little mace,
and two glasses of brandy or wine.
This makes one large loaf, to be baked
two hours.
Xew Way of Cooking Oysters. Take
mashed potatoes, mix a canful of oys
ters with the potatoes, and with a knife
cut the mass up line. Add one-half
pound of powdered crackers. Fix oil
yvith butter, pepper and salt and mois
ten the yvhole with oyster juice. Take
little patsof this, roll them in powdered
cracker crumbs and fry till brown in
butter, and the result when served warm
is delicious.
Frosted Bice Pudding. One cup of
lice boiled in one pint of water until
dry, the"n add one pint of milk and b ul
again. Add the juice and grated rind
of one lemon, the yolks of four eggs,
and one-half cup of sugar. S',iv well
together, ahd bake slowly for one hour.
Beat tlie four whites of thaeggsto a
stiff froth and :uld one cup of powdered
sugar; spread ou the pudding and brown
lightly.
Sponge Pudding This is new, and
furnished by a French cook, and i.s
both delicate and delicious. One quar
ter of a pound of flour, one-quarter of a
' pound of sugar, b illed yvith one qu.ut
! of milk to a thick batter, then ad 1 a
quarter of a pound of butter. JJivide
twelve eggs and and the beaten yolks
io : he batter, then mix i't the yvhites
lieaten to a stilfTrolh. Put into a but
tered pudding dish and set into a
rtrger dish of hot yvater, and bake in
the oven about forty minutes, with a
brisk tire.
Buttered Eggs or Rumbled Egg3.
Break three eggs into a small steyvpan,
add a tablespoonful of milk and :m
ounce of fresh biitter, a saltspoohf nl of
salt and a little pepper. Set ftie stew
pan over a moderate fire, and stir the
"ggs wilh a spoon, being careful to
i.eep every particle in motion until it is
set. Have ready a crisp piece of toast,
pour the eg?s upon it ami serve imme
diately. Thi3 mode of dressing eggs
secures that the yvhite and the yolk
shall be perfectly mixed.
Crocheted Bug. Take rags ouch as
used for making carpet; sew the colors
promiscuously; keep a particular eoior
of dark material for a prevailing one all
through. Next make a strong hook out
of hickory. For an oval shaped nig,
crochet an oblong piece in the common
stitch, only omit to throw the thread
over the hook before inserting the nee
dle; then crochet around the oblong
piece, being careful to widen at each
corner. When large enough to suit the
fancy, add a feyv royvs of plain color.
This rug, if made according to direc
tions, is very cheap and pretty, as tho
materials used might otherwise havo
gone into the rag bag.
A Wife's Xicir or Dueling.
Smith has had a scene at the club
with another gentleman of a peppery
disposition; blows and cards have been
exchanged, a duel has been agreed
upon, and he returns to break the 'news
to hia yvife.
".Miserable man!" she cries, in an ex
cess of emotion, "yvould you go forth
to fight, and be brought back to me all
shot full of holes and having your life
blood all spilled over the carpet? What
yvould become of me if you yvere killed?
The light of ray life yvould be quenched
in raylesf gloom, and I yvould be re
duced to yvant and misery, because all
the fortune belongs to you, and, as you
nave niaue no win, wnen you are Killed
ail the property yvill go to those miser

"Iloldl'' cries the husband, "Do not
accuse me wrongfully. I have thought
of every contingency, and arranged to
secure your happiness. Should I fall,
all my property yvill becom& yours.
See! here is my yvill, duly signed, sealed
and delivered!"
The young yvife seizes it, runs over
its contents yvith anxious eyes, puts the
precious document in her pocket, and
then, yvith the air or a Spartan matron,
says:
"Go! Avenge your insulted honor
Go to fight if need be, to fab.'

Tho Actor and the Emp.Tor..
The foiloyving auecdoto is related
apropos ot the Bussian Emperor Nich
olas, father of the reigning Czar, yvhose
fondness for the stage and artists led
him to institute a Theatre Francals at
St. Petersburg. He always treated the
actors yvith great kindness, almost bor
dering on intimacy. The Bmperor of
ten took long solitary walks, and to
prevent troubling the tranquility of his
promenade, it yvas strictly forbidden to
address a word or present a petition to
him under pain of a fine or imprison
ment. One day a comedian met the
Emperor, and removing his hat, bowed
respectfully. It happened that this ac
tor yvas a particular favorite of the mon
arch, and on this day in question yvas
to appear in a new pv-'ce. "Ah! is that
you?" said Nicholas. " Well, my friend,
I hope you are going to make us laugh
to-night." "Sire, I shall do my best to
please you," yvas the reply. "Well,
yvell, I trust to you," said the Emperor.
Some steps further on, as the actor con
tinued his way, he yvas accosted by tyvo
officers. "Come yvith us," said one of
them, taking the artist by the arm.
"Go with you! Where to?" "Where
to? Why to prison, of course. You
have juot ppoken to the Emperor."
"Not at all," said the actor; "it yvas his
Majesty who spoke to me." "Come,
there is no use arguing march;" and
the poor actor yvas dragged off to prison
and locked up. It is eight
o'clock. The Imperial Theatre is
crowded with Bussian nobiiity. The
Emperor enters his box, and is receive-i
by his ministers and generals. He
boyvs several times, then sits. It is
cus'omary in Bussia, on the seating of
his Mil jest', for the performance to
commence. Nicholas, like Louis XIV.,
disliked waiting; but the performance
does not begin. An aid-de-eamp is dis
patched to inquire the cause of the de
lay. He soon returns and announced
that the comedian has failed to put in j
an appearance. A useless search is j
instituted the actor has disappeared, j
The Emperor summons the general tf
police. Questioned by hjs M ijesty, he i
knows nothing of the yvhereabouts of j
the actor. "It is your business to know
everything," says the Czar, yvith low-;
ering brows. "I give you live minutes
to fliul out, and pull up the curtain.
Go." Thereupon all the -jentsof po- i
lice are set to work, and " Ih such suc
cess that, at the end of iLree minutes, J
the general of police comes and i'ii- ;
noi.Mces to his imperial M ijesty that j
the a. tor has been incarcerated for
having dare I to ad lress him iu the
street. The Emperor laughs long and ;
heaity. "G, sir, and order the per- j
forma uce to commence, and alter the j
rppresentotion yon yvill bring the l ap- j
less prisoner here." When the actor i
found himself a prifoner, his fury had
been uncontrollable. .But by decrees :
he h.;d calmed down, and had deter-
mined to abide the course of events, ,
making no effort, to r.gaiu his liberty. '
When he appeared o i the stage, the j
Emperor himself gave the signal for
the ovation v. hich gree?d him. Tlu j
assembly had learned ihe whole affair,
and yvas literally convulsed with laugh- ;
ter at the serious f: ce the comedian I
wore. At the i.d of the pcfonnance
he was conducted to tin? imperial box. i
-My dear tellow," exclaimed t'e Em- !
peror, who emi d not help again laugh- .
ing at the pilif'.d mien of lhe;;c;r, "I
am really very sorry for your m sad ven
ule, and to make you amends, I grant ;
you, before you ask it, any favor yon j
de.iire of me." ' Sire, ' said the ex;:s-
perated comedian, stiil a prey to ner- i
vous irritation, "I have only one favor
to ask, and that is. that yt.u never
speak to me arain." The next day he
received in a casket, which bore the
imperial arms, a superb watch tudded
with diamonds.

An effort is being made t introduce
the English partridge into California.
Four piirs of the-.e i links yvere recently
received from Austra'ia, having been
senl in exchange for some California
deer and quail forwarded by the com
missioners. Permission yvas given by
G' n. Mel) iwell to turn the birds loose
?!i G.kiI Island in the bay of S in Fran
cisco, win re there is plenty of yvater
and cover, and v. here there are nlieary
numbers of quail. The General also
issued an ler prohibiting shooting oa
the island for tyvo years, so that the
birds ii'rlit have a chance to multiply.
We stiive as Imrd to hide our hear?

upon our oyvn case yve are both judge,

tery the second, sel.-love is ahvays
ready to defeat the sentence by bribing
the third.
