FAC SIMILE OF HIS LOTTER OF IN STRUCTIONS TO IXrIE. Gould and Powderly*Ftemen Worthy Each Other's Steel, Altiough Powderly Seems Inclined to Spell it "SteaL?' Arbitrating Differences. As specimens of plain English the recent letters that have passed lbetween G. M. W. K. of L Powderly and Jay Gould are worthy of note. The epistles are written in such good, forcible English that it would have been the greatest pity if they had not got into the newspapers. They are as well writ ten, in fact, as if Gould asn Powderly had been newspaper men, every bit. Such fine literary talent lying latent ;among business men like these two is a credit to the country. A Briton could not write sych letters. He might be just as mad,,and he undoubtedly would say quite as hard things, but he would go at it in a bulldog, medt-ax way. His language would be heavy, too. For neatly dissecting and polishing off his enemy, he could not hold a candle toe the two opposing gentlemen whom some suppoped to represent capital and labor. It will be a pretty fight, they say. If it goes on, there are indications that it will be a broad one. Mr. Powderly would call it the battle between labor on the one hand and the Gould system of heaping up wealth on the other. It is not against capital, he de clares, but against capital got by unjust means. In the correspondence that has been pub. lisltd, Grand Master Powderly has the strongest convictions, while Gould is the more adroit. In nothing does this over matching wiliness appear more vividly than in Gould's first letter of directions to Vice President Hoxie on settling the strike. Those who would care to see a specimen of Mr. Gould's handwriting may be interested in glancing over the accompanying fee simile of that letter. Mr. Gould's chirog ranhy is very peculiar. It is craobped and little, MR. GOULD'S F1RIENDLY LETTEB. He signs the letter "Jay Gould, Pres't," thus giving it his official stamp. He sees no objection to arbitrating differences between the Missouri Pacific's company and its em ployes. On the strength of that, it was an nounced that employes would resume work, trains start running, and the whole en chanted palace of labor start into full activity again. The strike was ended, quoth the newspapers of Mon lay, March 29. Mr. Gould's letter was written the Sunday previous. That Monday the stock of the Gould southwestern roads wont up sevqral cents. First they boomed, then they dropped a little, then they went up again. His enemies say that the lit tle financier cleared a cool million on the strength of that friendly letter. Then came another hitch. Vice-President HT xie, out in St. Louis, would settle indi vidual difficulties with striking employs, but he would have nothing to do in any shape or form with an official committee of the Knights of Labor. He drew the line there and was as granite in holding to it. Meeting a committee of the K. of L wasn't his idea of "arbitrating differences." And when Mr. Gould's famous letter of instruc tions to Mr. Hoxie came to be strictly looked into. it was found to be no settlement of the difficulty at all. Mr. Hoxie was left free to. do just as he had been doing before, and ho has at no time since been informed by Mr. Gould that the president of the road "saw no objections" to his receiving a committee of the K. of L The strike was reopened, and then fol lowed between Gould and Powderly the let ters containng the i forceful English one mus admire. The question itself is one on whose merits it is extremely difficult for either an outsider or an insider to come to a decision. Powdesrly and Gould mutually throw the blame for the continuance of the strike upon each other. What the outcome will be who can telli Though the present c ngressi on.a inquiry will, it is noped, settle, the difficulty. MIr. Gc "ld's Liberality. During his reccut Florida trip Mr. Jay Gould visited Fernandina. His advent had been heralded, and the town was agog. The baggageman at the depot handled his multi tude of trunks and valises with unwonted care. Mr. Gould personally supervised the operation. When it was completed he gra ciously slipped a coin into the hand of the "smasher." It felt just like a new $5 gold piece, and the onlookers observed a glance of joy on the workman's face. lor some moment. the coin lay unexamined in the pal pitating palm. At last Mr. Gould was gone, and the man was no longer restrained from feasting his eyes on the prize. He did so. It was a bright new nickel five-cent piece. Town Topics. His Principles Forbid It. If the united workmen of the United States should take it into their heads to. make a nomination for the next presidency.they would not have to look outside their own ranks. T. V. Powderly assumes the propor tions of a statesman of no common caliber. But hit principles forbid.-New York Sun. MQW COFF9E AFFECTS PEOPLE. One of the Mest Pwerhtl Drags-A Cause of Heart Trouble-A SBqggeteon New York has a doctor of unusual bright n sr who has busied himself lately writing pith and scholarly monograms on some of the pised and Indorsed evils ofsoCiety. His latest manlieeto s on "How Coale At fects People;" and the aim of the paper is to show that coffee is one of the most powerful drugs in the lilof ntedienes. The proof of its power as a drug is shown by the fact that it is usedto a greater extent than any other as an antidote for poisons, both animal and vegetable He urgesthat he doesnot desirs. to reach the ear of the public in general; but of those who have pains in the region of the heart, oppressed breathing and an irregalar pulse; those who are esceedingly nervous and unable to sleep at night; those who have a full feeling, dizziness and pain of a neuralgic character in the head; who have nausea and sourness of the stomach without having transgressed the laws of life; who have pains in the liver, a yellow skin, with eyes of the same sort; and lastly, who have hemorrhoids. If the doctor supposes he has left out one or two of all creation from this list he may be right, but he certainly is mowing a wide swath, and may honestly say he is after the ear of the public. To these he ofers one sug gestion. Omit coffee for a time, throw physic to the dogs, and fld out if the trouble fter all is not in the drug used as a beverage. In mod erate doses coffee raises the blood pressure and accelerates the heart. Now, says the doctor, heart disease isin the main an easily prevented disease, and it is very frequently due to the excessive use ofooffee. He enumer" ates several tlstances where he had called to prescribe and had found his patients given up to die, but there was really nothing the ma, ter but tl breakfast drug. He wisely suggests that in this day of sud den deaths we are called upon to review our methods of eating and living in order to get at the cause or causes. "The heart and brain requires rest as well as other organs of the body." If the vessels :n the brain are kept distended we av at a. warning dizziness and pain, and if the warnings are unheeded, apo plexy. So with the heart. So short are its intervals of rest when beating at 72 to 84 that we can hardly conceive it. Add to this the stimulus that sends it up to 90 and we must produce disease. He concludes that for our regular meals and at evening parties we should substitute the simpler cocoa or bouillon and escape danger.--St. Louis Globe-Demo crat. The Shrewd Emperor of BraslL The emperor is one of the best friends the United States has. He copies everythinggsdd that is American. In fact, all Brazilians are beginning to adopt Amnerican customs instead of FEnch, as used to be their way. The em peror is a shrewd old man, and therejs little that goes on in his empire that he is notcog nizant of. He is a great reader of newapa pers, and is said to keep his ministers in per petual activity by ordering investigations as to the truth of every newspaper atile at tacking a government official whichi e sees. The Republican party in Brazil iseuhlil but violent. The emperor, however, hasasure and safe way of controlling it. Whenever.a man of brains appears in its ranks and threatens to become dangerous, what does the emperor dot Bend him to the convict islands? Exile him from the country? loot at all. Hei.akes him baron of siomr uninhabited -waste with, an unprmonounceable name if he is rich, or gives him a government position if he is poor. Few are the Republicans in Brazil that a title or a fat office will not transmute into Con servatives.-Rio Janeiro Cor. New York Tribune. Fascination of Phillips' Eloquence. Nora Perry has written some reminiscences of Wendell Phillips in which she thus illus trates his power as a fascinator." In the old ante-slavery days a southerner, who was visit ing Boston, said to a friend that he wanted to hear Wendell Phillips; that he had heard so much about him and his eloquence that he was curious to judge for himself. The friend, with some misgivings, took the southerner to Faneuil hall one night when Phillips was to hold forth upon his favorite topic. The southerner sat stolidly through it all, not an sngry gleam apparent in his face, but looking at the orator with a fixed, concentrated at tention that never wavered. At the eyd Bos ton leaned forward and asked: 'Well, what do you think of him I Of course he must have otsended your prejudices-you couldn't agree with what he said.' 'I don't care a - what ae says. I cauld listen to him all night,' was the unlooked for response. "-Chicago Herald. India's Moral and Material Progress. A blue book has just been issued dealing with the moral and material progress of India, which is in effect nearly entirely made up of a series of admirably executed maps of the great eastern empire. There are about a dozen of these maps in it, showing, in suc cession, India divided from a meterolq~ical, a philological, an anthopological, a peismolog ical, an agricultural, and other points of view. One map shows the localities in which the numerous famines of the past fifty years have occurred; another the present develop ment of the railway system, and the third the military divisions of the country. Altogether a most complete Indian atlas is the result. .ondon Letter. How Poor Mile. Rose Sang in Death. The well-known Felicien David kept a drum in his apartment, fastened by silver nails surrounded by a silver ribbon, on which was an inscription setting forth its history. The parchment--if it can be called so-of the in strument was the tanned skin of a young woman, by name Rose Gallon, once in the service of a medical friend of his. When a piano was played in the room strange music was evoked from this instrument; the skin, having been stretched on wood, became an harmonic table. It was a favorite diversion to him to hear poor Rose, though dead, still speak.-Paris Cor. Independent. i Point oIDistinction Stated. Dr. Meniere announces to us as one result of his studies a point of distinction between the sexes which has not, we believe, been heretofore generally recognized-vin: that the "human organism is essentially alkaline," but that "woman is less alkaline than man." Thisalleged hypoalkalinity or extra accidity of the gentler sex has been perhaps noted already by philosophers and students of the domestic relations, but its existence has not beei before placed upon a sound sicentitic and soinatic basis.-Medical Record. Novelists to Come from tho South. The Richmond State declares that northern publishers admit that the future novelists must ccne from the south. The field there is fresher and has been little explored; and in fiction, as in all else, what is new wins the readiest popularity.-Exchange. Tihe Correct Use of Language.

Promoted to Succeed .n.u Terry. GOE. T OMxAs 'L RUoZU. To the vacancy created 'by the promotion of Gen. Terry the president has nominated Cot Thomas H. Ruger. Gen. Roger was a New York boy, but was appointed in 1850, at the age of 17, to West Point from Wiscon sin, from where' he graduated with high honors in 1854, he being the third in his class and Gen. 0. Howard the fourth. znter ing the jngineers, as his rank entitled him to do, he whs engaged for a few months on the constructipn of the defencosof New Orleansi but the following spring, April 1, I68, re signed and opened a law business at Janes ville, in which he was occmpidd until the out break'of the civil war, six years later. His first command in the war was as lieutenant colonel of the Third Wisconsin Vohluteers in the summer of 1861. He became colonel of this regiment in August, and was on duty in Maryland and 'in the Shenandoah valley during that and the succeeding year, taking part in the combat at Winchester, May, 186, and in the battles of Cedar. mountain, August 9, and Antietam, Sept. 17. He was made brigadier general of volunteersn Nov. 29, 1862, and as such took part in the battles of Chancelloraville and Gettysburg in 186t He was engaged also in suppressing the draft riots in New York in that year. Transftrred to the west, he took part in Sherman's cam paign of 18G4 to Atlanta, and then as adivi sion commander of the Twenty-third corps in Gen. Thomas' Tennesee campaign against Hood, serving with the western army until the surrender of Johnmton. After the war, Gen. Ruger was made colo nel of the Thirty-third infantry in the regu lar army, and brevet brigadier general for gallantry and meritorious services at Gettys burg. He was for a time provisional gover nor of Georgia, and held other commands at the south throughout the reconstruclion period, and until 1871, when he served at superintendent of the Military academy at West Point for five years, until 187. Thea h3 returned to Atlanta and took command of the department of the south.
